You you look to the stars for answers
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought that there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
Who's there
Who's there
Fond of a night out in California
It's late an interruption in space
You smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses
Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons bumber stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder
A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theatre doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous mens co-ordinance point at the moon
yeah yeah yea hyeah yeah yeah yeah
oh my gosh

i hate this song
i like this song
i hate this song
this song is so gay
i'm trying to write more
bye
I wanna try your shoes on
And wear them for a day
Learn to talk like you do
And say what I see
I'd talk like I knew something
That everyone wanted to hear
But you're the fonz
The definition of icy
The measure of what's up
You could play the tuba
And everyone would clap
Well I can play the tuba
And they all just shake their heads
Cause you're the fonz
I know its over for me
I know its over
Drove my car to the floor
And stood at the edge
When I woke up in heaven
Looked down and no one cared
But when you pulled your own trigger
They all gathered around to watch
I lose my solitude
I see myself in you I don't like what I see
If my voice like you in sounds
What the hell is going down
I'm so pissed off at myself
In the mirror, it's you that I see
Staring back at me
I don't like what I see
I try to look the other way, and pretend that I'm okay
But I know it's kinda true
Look at myself, your just like me
I've always told myself at you
I didn't want to be I lose my solitude
I see myself in you
I don't like what I see I change but it's a work
I'm going back down to what is worse
I can't believe I yelled at you
You yelled at me can't you see
We're going no where fast, like a plane will crash
Like a plane would crash, like a plane will crash
You always said that you were proud
Let me lay and rest your doubts
The critizem I can't take
But I can't deal with all your hate
I can't deal with all your hate (2x)
Never seem to ever let up
All I needed was a friend
Someone to talk to, someone to turn my thoughts around
Pick me up when I fall down
Lead me in the right direction
Aid me in my ressurection
You kicked me 'round I try to tell you I've had enough
Feel my thoughts and feel my soul
Tell me which way that I should go
Which way that I should go, I should go
I lose my solitude
I see myself in you I don't like what I see
I lose my solitude
I see myself in you I don't like what I see
I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It's pointed straight up towards the smog
I know I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning x-ray vision
As you roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating or maybe not 'yet
I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart
But you'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it as I watch your dust
You do it You do it for me that's how I know that you are mine
I send out to you
Frequencies exceeding the speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
The satellite that will orbit your mind until your down
That's how I know that's how I know
I'm the asteroid that will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know that's how I know
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Road man driving in the road van
He's got to beat the clock to the next town
Road man driving in the road van
I set up the sound system for the band
Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says no no no the show must go on
Road man driving like a mad man
Breaking land speed records in the van
Road man he don't mind police man
Leaving a trail of ripped up citations
Road man heavy load
He's got to stop and smell the rose
Road man he says no go
I've got to be the king of the road
Road man didn't see the train man
Until it was too late to slow the van
Meanwhile the band is waiting for the Road man
Get your motor running
California Interstate 1
Pacific Coast Party
If you got to work today
Get yourself a new vocation
Pacific Coast Party
You don't have to mind father time mother nature
Get yourself in line take your time
And watch it slip away
Just quit your bitchin' bite your tounge
Save it for a rainy day son
Pacific Coast Party
Get your ticket pack your bags
Come and join the celebration
Pacific Coast Party
If you want a fine piece of mind
Come and get it
Get yourself in line take your time
And watch it slip away
Pacific Coast Party
Hey I heard somebody say work harder than you play
But I never missed a single day's party
Word I never heard a word I turn the other way
Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool
Well we ain't so dumb, just numb
And tomorrow's another year
Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here
We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance
But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Back in the day everything seemed to be OK
But OK is just OK
And just alright makes you think
What could be on the other side
Runnin' with the big dogs
Left those puppies on the porch
Scratchin' fleas is the least in the real world
If I knew then what I know now
Just alright would be OK somehow
Shhhhh
Keep it down now
Could you keep it down
Had it made had it played itself out
In a sit-com style
So the landlord has his key in my door
I'll have amnesia for a while
I've seen ridiculous sunsets in a sickening sky
It made me feel really ill in a beautiful way
I've seen perfect people and I shield my eyes
I don't deserve to see their shame
Shhhhh
Keep it down now
Just keep it down now
I can't hear myself think
Who needs to think
I know I know I know..........
If you don't wanna be
Like all the rest of them
Like all my so called friends
Walk with me, stand by me
Take what you want from me
Get what you feel you need
If it means that much to
Take it please
Chorus:
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
Why don't you understand
That my hearts lying in your hands
You squeeze and bleed me dry
I try to live you want me to die
If it means that much to you
If you think there's something I should do
Take what you want from me
Get what you need take it please
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hittin' the snooze so I can keep on dreamin'
I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
Waking up in the morning
My X is calling she tells me to get a job
She tells me that I'm a slob
But still she's calling
Until 3 in the morning
I come home stumbling
I'm looking for something to eat
My head is killing me
It's not as good as it seems
But I know one thing is true
Things were better when I had you
She known each other
I punched your brother
Call the police on me
Your dad's coming after me
Don't you take my dollar
Restraining orders
I keep changing my number
You putting the blame on me
I didn't know she was under 18
She showed me a fake ID
It's not as good as it looks
It's not as good as it seems but I know one thing is true
Things were better when I had you
But I know one thing is true
I'm just trying to get rid of you
Slashing my tires, she broke into my room
Went through my garbage
Checking under my covers
Looking for rubbers
Investigate my laundry
Changing my dead bolts
She threw a brick through my window
Wrapped it in a letter
Saying I hate you I'm gonna kill you
I could never forgive you
But I know one thing is true to be continued
Walking out of the door I'm on my way can you tell me just where I'm going
Occupational skills would you give me a clue what to do cause my minds in motion
Just trying to relax I find myself on the couch with big plans but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me or the way that I'm thinking
Come on Come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on Come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on Come on and tell me why's it taking so long for you to recognize and stop
Another day in the sun I'm having fun feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky a plane goes by is that the reason that I can't breathe
I take a look and I wonder why, why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe my oh my
I took a trip to the bar does my money go far can you show me just how to spend it
Moving around I like the sound I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal she'd be in a dress I better slow my drinking down
Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where I'm at
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die
The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my @$$
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field
Steve: We're gonna get some hoes tonight
Let's go get some hoes (2x)
You drive, and I know,
'Cause we're gonna get some hoes
(laugh)
Steve: Rock, motherfucker.
Watching for a sound to lead me to where ever you go
I can't help it I will always love you
Chorus:
It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)
I'm thinking of things that come to life
Your going through some things so shallow
Theres nothing to fight
It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)
I'm a slave I'm anything
I haven't lost my way
I'm looking around in directions
'Cause all I ever thought about was you
Predicting puts me down on shaky ground
I keep thinking your looking at me
Do you want me around
It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Yes it's true
Baby yes it's true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
YAAAAA
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishing that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
Baker Baker baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder what's in a day
What's in your cake this time
I guess you heard he's gone to L.A.
He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
And he tells me I pushed him away
That my heart's been hard to find
Here
There must be something here
There must be something here
Here
Baker Baker can you explain
If truly his heart was made of icing
And I wonder mine could taste
Maybe we could change his mind
I know your late for your next parade
You came to make sure that I'm not running
Well I ran from him in all kinds of way
Guess it was his turn this time
Time
Thought I'd made friends with time
Thought we'd be flying
Maybe not this time
Baker Baker baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder if he's ok
If you see him say hi
Better Do It Right
from "Grinch" soundtrack
Momma tole me, Boy, you best behave,
'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his favs.
And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat.
But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot.
Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.
So he took me for a ride in 'is Cadillac,
Stolen from a cleptomaniac, at a horse-race track.
I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve'eople should be home in bed."
Instead, he said,
You merry gentle men always bet on red.
The Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.
When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
When all you wanted was a BB gun,
Santa Claus never did come.
{Interlude}
When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
So he took me for a ride in 'is big ol' sleigh.
We flew around the world in just one day.
Johnny Mathis sang.
I said, Sir, what you got for me in that sled?
Instead, he said,
Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red.
Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
Johnny is singin',
(Johnny is singin',)
Remember tonight:
If you gotta do wrong,
The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear
But I don't care
You've got things to say
But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say
So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say "Don't be square"
So square we'll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say
I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
Anything strange is wrong
So here we are
In a dead man's car goin' to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say
I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It's pointed straight up towards the smog
I know I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning x-ray vision
As you roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating or maybe not 'yet
I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart
But you'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it as I watch your dust
You do it You do it for me that's how I know that you are mine
I send out to you
Frequencies exceeding the speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
The satellite that will orbit your mind until your down
That's how I know that's how I know
I'm the asteroid that will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know that's how I know
We're on the move
The ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing
Locomoting to the groove
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois Lane, Mary Jane, we may never get home
Arlene, Annette, Angelena
Making the scene it a green Karman Ghia
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
She turns me on
The style was wild like millionaires
My savoir-faire got everywhere
It was nothing but a thing if you're wondering
But now she isn't there
Suzie Q, Peggy Sue, won't you tell me your name
Betty Lou, make it two, if you really got game
April and June got the word now
May got play in a lei at the luau
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she really turns me on
Marlena, Tina, and Belinda
Goodnight Irene, Jean and Lucinda
Jackie O, did she know, did she know
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, "regret" is a word that I never had heard
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on on on on on
She turns me on on on on on
Why don't you condone it
Why don't you set me free
I don't think you own it
Cause it belongs to me
And if I ever want to take it back
You try to lie and hide it
Look who laughing last
Everyone around me thinks they know
They try to see it
But I don't let it show
Stay out of my business
Keep your hands off my door
I've got a bed
I'd rather sleep on the floor
Screaming in my head
I don't like it anymore
No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know
I spin my wheels and try to figure it out
What's going on
And what's it all about
Where did I go wrong
I think I'm having my doubts
About what you said
And what you're going to do
I'm so pissed off
I blame it on you
I've done it all
There's nothing left for me to do
What's going on
Piss on you
No place to go
Leave me alone
When your head is spinnin' 'round
When everything is upside down
You can look at things differently
Come and check my galaxy
You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
I'll be representin' clouds
But before you get too far out, baby
Before you start lookin' down
Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
Ultra touch, sight, and sound
Your feet are safely on the ground (on?)
I'm starin' off into your space
You're only comin' through in waves right now but
I see you comin' my way now, baby
You know I'll be kickin' down
But before you get to far out, baby
You kow I'll be reelin' you homeward bound
Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
And I'll be representin' clouds
But before we get too far out, baby
Don't you start lookin' down
Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Your friends keep telling me
I bear a striking resemblance to someone you used to know
But baby's it's me
So why the hell do you keep calling me "Flo"
And I would hope
That you would have the decency to
Let me go
In case of an emergency
But you keep reassuring me
Telling me to just quit tripping on it
And maybe its me
I guess that I should probably get a grip on it
"But" its hard to do
Every time I see that tattoo
Over your heart
It ain't right I cant even look at you
Why you doing what you're doing
You should be doing what you want
Who the fuck you think you're fooling
She's the one you want
Florence if you hear this wont you
Come and take your girlfriend back
She's been calling out your name
Every time were in the sack
She's been a mess since you've been apart
So Flo if you had half a heart
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Were been going for a while
But lately she's been somewhere else
She don't even smile
And I think its a cry for "help"
And I would pray
That you would have the common courtesy
To take her away
It aint right she don't belong to me
Why you doing what you're doing
You should be doing what you want
You're the only one your fooling
She's the one the one you want
Florence if you hear this wont you come and pick your
Girlfriend up
She's been talking in her sleep and I think I've had enough
She's been a wreck since you've been away
So Flo if you have something to say
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Today you sat up half asleep and stared
Into this cluttered empty apartment and died
What the where the how the why the hell
You can watch your step and still you'll never see the mines
Stay up man don't drown
Its time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots and be on your way
Every day I see you sinking low
Dragging around like it was the end of the world
She's gone she's gone she's gone man let it go
Cause in the end she didn't turn out to be much of a girl
Stay up man don't sink
Before you have time to blink
Your # 1 will walk through the door and want to play
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots
Disconnect the dots and be on your way
Thought you had it so secure so sure
Looking at the map and didn't see the detour
d.I.v.o.r.c.e. or something of that sort
Disconnect the dots my man the ball's in your court
Get yourself a shave and put on your best hat
The world is your aquarium and you are the cat
So dive right in and don't forget to swim
You're back in the game again again
Stay up man don't drown
Its time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
You must admit that, you look like shit
'Cause you've been awake all week
Sometimes it's placed that you call your gaskets
Up to your accelerating deep
You can come down
You can come down to me
You can come down
You can come down to me
You tell us, no way we can't see
What you say, we see it with our own eyes
You're in so deep that you can't even sleep
With out even me having to stack up lies
You've been in a craze for so many days
You can't even crack a grin
So, how can you stand there
And tell us that you care
While your doing your self in
You can come down
You can come down to me
You can come down
You can come down to me
You're spinning your wheels
You're looking for thrills
You're burning your bridges down
Make no mistake and take some complaints
To turn the cycle around
You had us tricked thought you had it kicked
You're back on the horse again
So, why should it be that we have to see
What you're doing yourself in?
You can come down
You can come down to me
You can come down
You can come down to me
Greg and Paul saying ah in the background
Burning your bridges down
Greg and Paul saying ah in the background
You're spinning your wheels
You're looking for thrills
You're burning your bridges down
Make no mistake and take some complaints
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
CHORUS:
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You¹re bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
CHORUS
Somebody once asked could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
CHORUS
You better love your mother
She's the only one you've got
Yes, you better love your mother
It's now or not
You better cup your hands with gratitude
'Cause your harmony is out of tune
You better cup your hands with gratitude
You better shake that funky attitude
You better love your mother
'Cause you know she's got the blues
Yes, you better love your mother
'Cause she's warming up to you
You better cup your hands with gratitude
'Cause your harmony is out of tune
You better cup your hands with gratitude
You better shake that funky attitude
You better shake that funky attitude
Just shake that funky attitude
C'mon and shake that funky attitude
You better shake that funky attitude
Pack it up, pack it in let me begin
I came to win battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up
Punk you better pack up
Try to play the role and yo the whole crew will act up
Get up stand up, stand up c'mon throw your hands up
If you get the feeling, jump across the ceiling
Once with the funk flow someone's talkin' junk
Yo I'll bust 'em in the eye and then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it, amps in the trunk
And I got more rhymes than there's cops at a dunkin
Donut shop
Sure 'nuff I got props
Kids on the hill, plus my mom and my pops
I'll serve your ass like Jon MacEnroe
If your girl steps up I'm smacking the hoe
Words to your mom I came to drop bombs
Got more rhymes than the bibles got psalms
And just like the Prodigal son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
'Cause I've got lyrics But you ain't got none
If you came to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool 'cause I'll duel to the death
Try to step to me and take your last breath
Got the skill come get your fill
'Cause when I shoot to give I shoot to kill
I am the cream of the crop I rise to the top
I never eat a pig, 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Scwreznegger
Trying to play me out as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style yo and I might switch
Up up and around then buck buck ya down
Put out your head and you wake up in the dawn of the dead
I'm comin' to get ya, I'm comin' to get ya
Spitting out lyrics
Homie I'll wet ya
Can you hear it?
Yeah man
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire was man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Now give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Check this out
Can you hear it?
Yeah
Get it, papa bear
Yeah you!
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Someone like you
I can learn to be
Someone like me
Thanks to Julie James for submitting the lyrics
(Steve and Rosie Talking)
Steve: Yo Rosie, what time is it?
Rosie: I do not know.
Steve: It's Christmas time girl!
'Music starting'
Rosie: Why don't you go shopping,
you only need the two chestnuts (or something like that)
'Cause I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
I broke my back on Johnny's head
Somebody snitched on m
I hid a frog in sister's bed
Somebody snitched on me
I spilt ink on Mommy's rug
I made Tommy eat a bug
Bought some gum with a penny slug
Somebody snitched on me
Chorus:
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
I put a tack on teacher's chair
Somebody snitched on me
I tied a knot in Suzy's hair
Somebody snitched on me
I did a dance on Mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me
Chorus (2X)
We ain't gettin' nuttin for christmas
So you better be good the whole year through
'Cause if your not, I'm warning you
You'll get nuttin' for christmas
(Steve and Rosie talking again)
Rosie: Nothing!
Steve: In a weird crying type voice saying: I love you Rosie
Rosie: Come over here you big Santa! (then Rosie growls)
Met a girl last summer
she was a pearl, a virgin girl
talked awhile on the corner
she was high, she was really bye, bye
had a sandy dress, unshaven legs
but a beauty you could not faze
and who am I to say that her beauty goes away
when she smokes the sensi day after day
my integrity does not agree
she calls me in the morning
and says let's go to the beach
and I say smoke it if you please but girl
at least don't leave your keys
she packs the pipe as much as she can fill
she sparks it up, she smokes it up
and says that's good shit
about this time I start feeling just right
I'm trying to drive with acontact high
so pump pump pump pump pump pump
pump pump pump pump my brakes
a style in the make of my in-take
what's it do for ya
what's it prove for ya
all that she could up with is this
what'cha got against
why you on defense
let me tell you something about hemp
it's the healing of the nation
the food of the gods
the product of your mother
you know you got me wrong
so roll it up, roll it up
stick it in a bomb
even make a Jamaican man sing a happy song
and I don't know what it means
when they say go long, go long
but I own every record by "Cheech and Chong"
it makes me feel so sexy when I'm lying in your arms
all natural, no need to be alarmed
when they legalize this shit
the pages of the calender flying off faster as i get old.
and if i had a second take, i wont have made the same mistakes, exept for the clothes.
and the part about the one that got away.
well i was blind, i fell behind, and here i gotta stay.
and im lying here wondering is it finally sinking in?
to my weary heart, my foolish pride, and my stubborn head.
i woke up on the right side, i woke up on the right side. on the right side of the wrong bed.
im staring at the autumn stars, and wondering if you are staring too,
And every little satelite, and every plane that passes by just leaves me blue.
chasing my tail, like the second hand chases those grains of sand, and the television hourglass.
and im lying here wondering is it finally sinking in?
to my weary heart, my foolish pride, and my stubborn head.
i woke up on the right side, i woke up on the right side. on the right side of the wrong bed.
--instrumental--
chasing my tail, like the second hand chases those grains of sand, and the television hourglass.
and im lying here wondering is it finally sinking in?
to my weary heart, my foolish pride, and my stubborn head.
i woke up on the right side, i woke up on the right side. on the right side of the wrong bed.
I'll have
A Blue Christmas
Without you
I'll be so blue
Thinking about you
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same
If you're not here with me
And when those
Blue snowflakes start fallin'
And when those
Blue melodies start callin'
You'll be doin' all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue
Blue, blue, blue Christmas
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same
If you're not here with me
I'll have a Blue Christmas
That's certain
And when that blue heartache
Starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue
Summer girl, melting me
Hopelessly drifting out to sea
Let me take you to the old arcade
I got a pocket full of sandy change
I don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl, ever brown
You're laughing as I'm sinking down
Behind your shades, do you know
How to save a drowning soul?
The sunny days are way too long
I'm out of place where you belong
When darkness falls promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
The leaves are slowly turning golden brown
But I'll be here when you get back into town
Don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Every morning I wake up just the same
Another victim of ordinary fame
I don't see myself as invincible
It's not true at all
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am
Just a day job that's someone's gotta do
It's kinda hard when everyone looks up to you
Try to make it look easy, gonna make it look good
Like anybody would
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am
I'm just like everybody else
After all the hype it's hard to tell
I keep my game face on so well
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
I'm trying to save the world
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world
I try to hide my true identity
But no one knows it's only me
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
I'm trying to save the world
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am
Your asteroids bounce off her like a trampoline
Sometimes all she can do is shake
Lookin' out for you and I and all she sees
Is everybody makin' big mistakes
Takin' what they should just leave
You're gettin' away for free now
Beautiful bomb
It's so beautiful
Fools talkin' 'bout there's enough room for just one of us
Sometimes all I can do is laugh
But the joke is getting tired and old and dangerous
And the ink ran out on the laugh-o-meter graph
I suggest you fire your staff
It's getting so obnoxious
Beautiful bomb, we're living on a beautiful bomb
We're living on a beautiful bomb, it's so beautiful
Beautiful bomb, we're living on a beautiful bomb
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Sister Psychic won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
We were there at the start we've got Polaroids to prove it
Skateboards and scars and embarrassing home movies
But if you really wanna see where it's all goin'
Switch on your TV she's all tellin', all knowin'
She knows everything
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am I doin' what I'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister, why would I tell you my deepest, dark secrets
So you could take my diary and rip it all to pieces
Just $6.95 for the very fist minute
I think you've won the lottery that's my prediction
You know everything
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger
And her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead
Well the years start coming, and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking The Backstreet?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about your's?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking The Backstreet?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
I know she likes her magazines
And what they're wearing down in Hollywood
I know she wants green tea ice cream
And just for fun, melting in the sun
She likes her jokes as long as they're bad
And I'll laugh anyway
But I'll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know is that
She'll always get her way
She knows that she will always get away with it
She likes to take me out so I
Can watch her dance with her girlfriends
And cool boys playing pool
Stop and stare at the way she moves
'Dancing Queen' is blaring
She likes to know that she will be driving me home
Because I'm too slow
But I'll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know is that
She'll always get her way
She knows that she will always get away with it
She likes the Prime Time TV shows
With her secret crush on David Letterman
But she could never let her friends know
She's pure punk rock at a ripe 27
I know these things
I've seen the presets on her car stereo
But I'll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know is that
She'll always get her way
She knows that she will always get away with it
She'll always get her way
She knows that she will always get away with it
Away with it, she'll get away with it
You may notice certain things before you die.
Mail them to me should they cause
Your algebra to fail.
Cole and macey lost their eyes
On the finer points
Chorus:
You think it's fun you think it's fun and games
Can't tell you 'cause you know everything
You know right from wrong but you do it anyway
Can't break away, can't seem to get away from you
Get away from you, from you, get away from you
Get away from
Don't know where you're going
But you know where you've been
Time isn't kind now all the years are showing
You don't think it's broke
So you don't wanna fix it
Don't have a clue
Walk away just forget it's you
Get away from you, from you, get away from you
Get away from you
Chorus 2:
Caught in the middle
What's right, what's real
The grass isn't greener, on your side of the fence
I tried of this really
No one can see
I'm really in for
A miserable life
If you can't dance
Then you can't dance with me
You better bring your own, I only brought enough for me
My best friend is my own prophecy
That's what you get when you come along with me
Come along with me, come along with
Chorus 2

Radio free fall
The cat walk to the show
All bets are on for those in the known
Oh no
There's a caterwaul in Hollywood
Who would have ever thought
All planets in line with the disco ball
Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
America give it a name
Call it a miracle
All bets are on for those on a roll
Oh no
Sold and bought straight San Jo
Who would have ever thought
We'd spoil the sport and be on top
Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking new kid in town
San Jo who would've ever thought
Hollywood get yourself sold and bought
Radio, radio video and don't forget the talking show
And never forget that you're good to go
Oh no
It's a cattle call
In fifteen minutes you're a Neanderthal
Making faces from across the room
Look at me looking at you
What's your name, my name too
I'm getting the chills sitting next to you
Shake myself in your soul
The blood in your veins
The smell your clothes
What am I suppose to do
There's nothing left for me to choose
Make my move or walk away
Once again with out a date
Is it me or do I smell
I had a shower the other what the hell, is going on
Just where do I belong
I don't really care
Get outta my hair, get outta my hair
Smoke my cigarettes and drive my car
Flick your ashes on my bedroom floor
Wear my underwear, steal my shirts
I think it's love and then you burp
If I died you'd probably spit on my grave
And date my friends the very next day
Your always complaining that I'm not home
When I try to call you on the telephone
My pants are falling my socks don't fit
I can't seem to walk with out having to trip over you
Just what am I gonna do
I don't really care
Get outta my hair, get outta my head
What is said, what is done
I take it on the run
I won't apologize
I won't be telling lies
How could you, why would you
Take advantage of and leave me of my love
Then leave
Smash my windows and keyed my car
And outta the blue you send a birthday card
What's a man suppose to do
When all I get is grieve from you
Playing games and trashin' my
Who could it be
Hopefully nobody for me
I don't really care
Get outta my hair
Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey I wanna play on the team that you despise
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I?m keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell
Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on Right on Right on
I caught you looking at yourself
Don't worry about it you look fine
How did you get your hair so tight
Kicking things, you might as well fight
It's January/February you've got a tan
I've got to hand it to you man
You're the bull of the ball
Trying to stand tall
Thinking you can take them all
Sorry about your penis (3x)
I caught you looking at yourself
I bet you got overhead cams
Personalized plates and all
Your truck was probably 20 feet tall
I bet you say you do it a lot
I bet you don't do it at all
All the singers booted up
You might as well fuck a guy up
Sorry about your penis (3x)
Sorry I'm sorry
Sorry i'm sorry so sorry
You don't get it you'll never will
Flirting with that macho man, overkill
Seeing everything as if it was a sport
The only thing you'll win is a case of warts
Cookie cutter man you all you look a like
Drink 'em up drink 'em up Fight! Fight! Fight!
Move it with the man, got a tounge-in-cheek
Don't re-create please, please, please
Sorry about your penis (3x)
Sorry about your penis (3x)
I don't know why I'm with you
The only right thing I do is get along with you
And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me
It's true
I talked to you late last night
You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
Oohweooh
But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And even when I get home somehow you're still alone
It's true
I don't know why you're with me
The only reason I see some sort of fetish thing
Some people like to be pleased and
Some like to be teased
Which are you
I tried to warn you but you said just play dead
As long as we stay
True
But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not
Did your head not receive the shape of everything
That you are and I am
I shouldn't be happy as your man
You know that I am
I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
As long as we stay true--whoowoowhoowoo whoowhoowhoo--
--You weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
Why can't we be friends
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya 'round for a long long time
I really, I really, I really remember when you drank my wine
Why can't we be friends
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya, I called ya, I called but you did not look around
I pay my, I pay my, I pay my money to the welfare line
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya standing in it everytime
Why can't we be friends
The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmony
I kinda, I kinda, I kinda, like to be the president
And I could, and I could, and I could show you how your money's spent
Why can't we be friends
Sometimes I don't speak right
But did I know what I was talking about
I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia
Why can't we be friends
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya 'round for a long long time
I really, I really, I really remember when you drank my wine
Why can't we be friends
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya, I called ya, I called but you did not look around
I pay my, I pay my, I pay my money to the welfare line
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya standing in it everytime
Why can't we be friends
The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmony
I kinda, I kinda, I kinda, like to be the president
And I could, and I could, and I could show you how your money's spent
Why can't we be friends
Sometimes I don't speak right
But did I know what I was talking about
I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia
It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
Hey I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back
It's just like any fad it retracts before impact
And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and hip
If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique
So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
The offers shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun
Twenty five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened?
Some were spell bound some were hell bound
Some they fell down and some got back up
And fought against the melt down
And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it
So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
The offers shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun
It ain't no joke when mamma's handkerchief is soaked
With the tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the closeup
Mr. Wizard can't rerform no God, like hocus pocus
So don't sit back kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate
So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
The offers shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
Paint the town
Take a bow
Thank everybody
You're gonna do it again
Are are the few, the proud
You are the antibody
Mind soul, and zen
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near
So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again
The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning come
Take your knocks
Shake them off
Duck everybody
You're gonna take them again
You are you foe
Your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian
And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze
And the end is near
So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again
The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
And when it comes it moves so slow
Kinda like it's saying I told you so
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt
And the world's a stage
And the world's faze
And the end is near
So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
It's just the way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Well I go where they go
And I know who I wanna know
We are the "In Set"
And they don't trip if you're hip
At the velvet rope off the strip
We are the "In Set"
Call me cruel and unkind
But I'm cool and refined
Like a robot
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever
Well the pond may be big
But it ain't deep if you dig
On the inset
Little fish swim away
I suggest you go and play
On the swing set
And I was a junkie way before it was cool
With that I'll leave you
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever
We're just drivin' this jalopy 'til it grinds to a halt
And that's our mission
A Hollywood tradition
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret
This is our big show
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Hey cousin, I know you
Not long ago in the city zoo
You haven't changed
You still ain't standin' up straight
And I been thinkin' 'bout what we've become
Of what we have, and just look what we've done
Still making fire out of sticks and stones
Standing united all together alone
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
Hey sister how you been
Last time you saw me I was wearing a fin
Times haven't changed, I'm still swimmin'
Got to the top to get myself some air
I realized that it was better down there
It's like a jungle but there ain't no laws
No helping hands just grubby paws
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
My naked eye saw a fly in a jar with a hole
Didnt live to tell his kid exactly where not to go
I saw the puppet string screwed into his head
I heard the puppet laugh
I felt the bitter sweat
I can smell the smoke
As well as a rat
I can teach that dog
I can learn from a cat
Throw it in reverse
So I can hit it rigtht
I can taste the blood
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Leave me alone I'm over it
And everybody's movin' on
I can't see my tomorrow and yesterday has come and gone
So leave me alone
My mind is blown but it's my own
So deal with it
I'm feeling fine most the time
I may be on the outside but no ones getting in
So leave me alone
We're O.K. reelin' in the days
We're alright we're just getting high
Let us be it'll be all right
I got no strife I'm loving life
Could you say the same
You don't have to move to groove
So come on up and see me but leave that judge behind
'Cause I'm loving life
I'm gettin' stoned and what's wrong with that
The president seems to be just fine
Come on up and see me
Come on up just know that I'm gettin' stoned
Have you looked at the stop watch lately?
When was the last time you clocked in?
There is a race to be run and a song to be sung
There is a fine line wearin' thin
So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up, get out, get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
Have ya checked out the temperature lately
There's a fever that's about to break
There is a game to be won and a song to be sung
This is our battle cry, make no mistake
So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up, get out, get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
It's becoming so insane
It's becoming so insane
Don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up, get out, get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up, get out, get on that train
It's becoming so insane
They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
No more noise pollution in the air
Just smog
Well, sooner than later under the radar
We started a revolution off the air, so sign off
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your QC [Incomprehensible]
They've cleared up the channels
Program and progress
If you haven't noticed you have just been whored
And turned out
Behind the receiver
The silver deceiver
Well, we ain't bending over anymore
We've tuned out
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your QC [Incomprehensible]
Goin' to bed with an industry death wish
On an idol less pillow, sleeping with the fish
The lottery winners they're all talkin'
But sayin' nothin' and soon they'll be walkin'
They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
Program and progress
If you didn't notice
Sooner than later, under the radar
We're starting a revolution off the air
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
C.C. I've got your quality control
Just when I thought everything would be ok
Just when I started to believe that everything was going my way
Out came the cloud from under my feet
Crashing back down to reality
You used to call me pumpkin now I'm Halloween
Remember when I used to your jellybean
You used to call me schnookums and shit like that
Now you're after me with a baseball bat
I remember when I used to be the king
Your honey sweet darling baby everything
I used to be your tall dark mystery man
Now I'm just straight up history man
Just when I thought everything would be all right
Just when I started to believe that everything was out of sight
You left me with nothing but a scribbled note
That said I would no longer be your love boat
From here on out my pet name would be x
Your x your x your x
It used to be sugar then it turned into salt
I used to rock your world now I'm standing on a fault line
Lying naked in a hail storm in the dark
You're my little tornado and I am your trailer park
You used to call me names too cute to repeat
Like honey bunch hairy bear and piccolo peet
Goochy goochy goo goo gaga shit like that
Now you're after me screaming you dirty rat
I don't remember applying for a name change
So why is it you're calling me mister deranged
Psychopathic pornographic stinking drunk
Failing fast lying ass worthless punk
You used to call me sweety pie and baby doll
I guess another studs kicking in my stall
You'll probably call him superman or loverboy
You'll probably disregard him like a broken toy
Just when he thought everything was going his way
Just he started to believe everything was hunky dory
He'll look at that cloud that he's standing on
And with an itsy bitsy tiny little almost inaudible squeak
He'll notice
It's gone
From here on out his pet name would be x
Your x your x your x
Sweet pie?
No x
Honey bunch?
No x
Bubble butt?
No x
Pumpkin face
Life imitates the game of chess
You can be the rook or the pawn
If you have the strategy that's best
You can be the king or in this case the don
It's easy to get knocked out of the game
Depending on which way you want to play
You've got to have eyes in the back of your head
Now that we have that out of the way
Rev up the Lincoln
And lets get to drinking some caffeino
Lets go to nicolettis
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
I'll take any flick with al pacino
I'm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as padrino
If you're the type that likes to spill the beans
You could be a stone in someone's shoe
You'll receive a kiss on each cheek
Then you'll know that pretty soon the stone will be removed
Everyone knows that crime does not pay
It doesn't pay the taxes anyway
You've got to be slick if you don't want it to stick
Now that we have that out of the way
I know it's not a wise thing to do
Writing funny songs about the mob
But if it's all the same to you
I don't see it as a gang but a club
Where men sit like gentlemen
Plotting their events about
Things I shouldn't understand comprehend or care
Like...oh, I don't know maybe I shouldn't go there
After all it is a family affair
Stay out of the papers
Don't get caught
Leave the singing to Sinatra and always keep your big trap shut
Capice?
The underworld is like an undertow - if you don't respect it
It will surely bring you down - when you least expect -
Hey expect it from all sides
Once you're in it it's for life
Don't be famous be infamous and you will live to see another day
Be wise about with whom you discuss
She's 15 and she's leaving home
Living on the streets where she don't feel alone
Daddy's always gone and mommy's on the sauce
Living in a mansion it's easy to get lost
She's going to a place where they understand
Baby on the way her womb's a garbage can
Who said anything about a good life
This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the never ending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Nervous in the alley off the boulevard
Shaking all over and the panic starts
You see she needs to get her prescription filled
And she knows exactly how she'll be billed
Nervous on the alley waiting for a fix
She ain't got no money just a couple of tricks
Who said anything about a charmed life
This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the never ending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Who said anything about a good life
Who said anything about a charmed life
Who said anything about a fair life
It's mad
Dying in the alley waiting for her man
Carrying her child and a sleeping bag
Should have would have could have never crossed her mind
So she passes on to the other side
Here he comes suit shades car and a beeper
Sugar daddy pimp pushing fucking grim reaper
Who said anything about a fair life
This one's mad mad mad mad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the never ending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new friend
Gonzo again - just another entry to the never ending story
Hey L.A.
There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
There's a meter maid, she arrives by broom
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night
There's a money tree and the ladder leans up against the trunk
But the steps are greased
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
In a rubber hand at a drastic price
Don't miss this show, you will be amazed
You're a shining star, a needle in the haze
There's a man upstairs with the fire below
There's the elevator and away you go
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a smooth operator, there's a famous governator
Everybody walks in L.A. on a backward escalator
There's a soul terminator, it's a sea of alligators
On each and every corner there's a broken hearted waiter
Hey L.A., where you're from?
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
She's 15 and she's leaving home
Living on the streets where she don't feel alone
Daddy's always gone and mommy's on the sauce
Living in a mansion it's easy to get lost
She's going to a place where they understand
Baby on the way her womb's a garbage can

This one's bad bad bad bad

Lately I've been thinkin' about the past
About the good times
And have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than ahead
Then I say to myself
Fuck it let's rock
Lately I've been thinking about who's in charge
About who they
And are they looking down and laughing hard
Are they aliens or robots or humanoids or gods
I think I'm just paranoid
Fuck it let's rock
What if someone takes my cat and what if she runs away
And what if she gets hit
What if someone takes my chick and what if she runs away
I wont be blue
Cuz I know what to do
Lately I've been thinking about my vices
And about the prices
That I'll later have to pay
I've been thinking about myself
And about my health
Then I say what the hell
Lately I've been thinkin' about the past
About the good times
And have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than ahead
Then I say to myself
Fuck it let's rock
Lately I've been thinking about who's in charge
About who they
And are they looking down and laughing hard
Are they aliens or robots or humanoids or gods
I think I'm just paranoid
Fuck it let's rock
What if someone takes my cat and what if she runs away
And what if she gets hit
What if someone takes my chick and what if she runs away
I wont be blue
Cuz I know what to do
Lately I've been thinking about my vices
And about the prices
That I'll later have to pay
I've been thinking about myself
And about my health
Then I say what the hell
A planet on the go
It's O.K. watching the weeds grow
And if you listen really hard
The earth she hums when it's dark
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see
The aquaducts overflown
Watching the branches and dolls go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks when she's pale
Sleeping on the ceiling the flies don't fall
Dust bunnies found their way to a wall
And I don't even want to understand it all
I just wanna see
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
Hey, so you wanna play
You see my game's on fire
But we don't play the same game
You see I'm greedy for speed
And neutral means nothing to me
So if that's your desire
We'll get along famously
But one thing I like to lead
I light 'em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that I could never stop
Look on the hood but you don't know what I got
I'm a moving violation, baby, hot, hot, hot, hot
Highway, that's my scene
I may look like a blur when you see me
And I mean, I'm flirtin' with disaster, I'm a master of G's
Going faster, gonna pass ya', gonna pass some dust your way, your sayin'
You got skills, somethin' to prove
But you're in my way so you better move
One foot on the peddle but never on the brake
So don't give me a reason, I got a license to race
I light 'em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that I could never stop
Look on the hood but you don't know what I got
I'm a moving violation, baby, hot, hot, hot, hot
I light 'em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that I could never stop
Look on the hood but you don't know what I got
I'm a moving violation, baby, hot, hot, hot, hot
I light 'em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that I could never stop
Look on the hood but you don't know what I got
Well here I am at my front door
And oh what an odor is rising
It seems I've stood on this porch at lesser times
Now I've been down the road
You know the one you've dreamed about
And that's surprises you
And I'm sure you'll chalk it up to sell out crime
Home
What do you do when opportunity knocks
When success stalks and along comes fame
Do you open the door or watch in horror
Through the peep hole as they all go away
Lottery or poverty you're a commodity so what's it gonna be
I'm moving on I'm moving on
Home I'm going home I'm going home
Sitting in that same spot
There with the other lot whining
And you know this must be just a mirage
Ain't no doubt I ain't got the clout that's defined by you
But oil stains are all you're gonna find in my garage
Hey whatcha gonna do when the fun stops
When the boat rocks and the crew gets old
Make up your mind it's about time
Because at this time you're staying
Neighbor called my landlord
She said that she was pissed
Up all night making noise
And she cant get no rest
She said we was running a flop house
Full of thieves and thugs
Musicians and hooligans and we were all on the drugs
So she got bent and raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor
What's up with my neighbor
What's it gonna take to get a break
She's got us tiptoeing around in fear
Church mice at st leos down my street
Have moved so far away
She has sent them packing and running scared
How much more does she think we will take
Maybe some day when I'm old and fat and bored
I'll understand why my neighbors making my life hell
I cant even watch tv or sneeze or fart cant even breathe
For fear my landlord will come and ring my bell
How much more does she think we will pay
No more flop house no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
Shooting cans with bb guns
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says these punks have to go
I think were gonna get the old heave ho
Neighbor called my landlord
It was a sunday afternoon
She couldn't hear the tv set
We were having a bbq
We were listening to louis prima
And drinking meisterbrau
If she would have come and talked it over
And she wasn't a lazy cow
So she got bent and raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor
Maybe someday when I'm jaded
9 to 5 at a job I hate
I'll come home and razz my neighbors too
But id have clever strategy
And catch them when the rent is late
And all the other bills are overdue
After all this is the neighborly way
No more music no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
I think were gonna get the old heave ho
Don't even hide the dog
Or put the bong away
We don't want to live here anyway
Neighbor called my landlord
She said we didn't care
The lawn is dead
Dogs and cats are stinking everywhere
She said we had crazy parties every night
The yard is littered with bottles and cans
Skateboards and bikes
She didn't get bent
Didn't raise the rent
We only got a note that read
In 30 days well get the old heave ho
No more music no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothings making sense but you keep on looking up
They'll tell you to be true, they'll try it everyday
To keep it on the real still you got to find a way
So make your mamma happy, to make your pappa proud
You'll wanna turn it up and all you hear is turn it down
So, gather round I'm here to say
They'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by it's tail
And hang on hang on, hang on
Everybody just get on, get on, get on
Get started and go on, go on, go on
Everybody just hold on
Sometimes I wanna cry, and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people all the same
And they just wanna know that everything will be okay
When things are getting rough you'll turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you turn it down
So, gather round I'm here to say
They'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by it's tail
And hang on hang on, hang on
Everybody just get on, get on, get on
Get started and go on, go on, go on
Everybody just hold on, just hang on
So, gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by it's tail
And hang on, hang on, hang on
Everybody just get on, get on, get on
Get started and go on, go on, go on
Everybody just hold on
And hang on, hang on, hang on
Everybody just get on, get on, get on
Get started and go on, go on, go on
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
(No, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
(No, I can't complain)
You're holding me down, turnin' around
Feeling me up with your rules
I've got to admit, it's getting better
(Better)
A little better all the time
(No, I can't complain)
I have to admit, it's getting better
(Better)
A little better since you've been mine
I used to be an angry young man
Be hiding my head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can, yeah
I've got to admit, it's getting better
(Better)
A little better all the time
(No, I can't complain)
I have to admit, it's getting better
(Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
(It's getting better all the time)
(Better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
I, I have to admit it's getting better
(Better)
A little better all the time
(No, I can't complain)
You're stressed, I admit it's getting better
(Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where I'm at
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die
The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my @$$
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field
A long summers day stetching out the cold
Searching for the answers and some say I'm not alone
Could you tell me where I might find fallen horses their spirits they fly
Blinded by the whiteness staring at the sun
I'm wishing that I had wings so that I could become one
Would you help me if I wanted to die I could ride off with horses tonight
Tell me why
Why oh why
I said why
Why oh why
Now that I've arrived here I know I'm not alone
All my friends among me tell me welcome home
Government test climate best
If you're looking for no rest
And at midnight you can grab your keys
And slip into your bulletproof dress
Television comes to life
And it works the street tonight
Siren's the song and it's remixed long
Into the broad daylight
Sleeping with the only one you can't out run
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded
Seein' only what I wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's gone
Well I'm just another creep
In that town that never sleeps
Met the one I adore at a liquor store
And she gave up counting sheep
And she explained to me
What "waitress" really means
That most ignore what she's waiting for
While earning an honest keep
She's acting out tinsel town's most-hated scene
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded
Seein' only what I wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone
Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of whats on your mind
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve
And you've got it good as bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
All that knowledge all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the other try to take your spot
You wanna make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Would you do anything whatever it takes
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
It the instinct that's got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night
It's what we are It's what we are It's what we are
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
Your honor your honor its not me
It's the invisible visible evil powers that be
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
I don't love you but I want to
Just give me something I can hold on to
Come on baby and speed your lust to me
Here's my number on a cocktail napkin
Think about it like a loaded weapon
Cock the hammer and point that thing at me
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all
I want someone, anyone
Tall ones, short ones, skinny ones
I want someone, anyone
You spend your nights at home crying
I spend mine death defying
I call it testing morality
So pull the goggles down over your eyes
And say good night to the rest of the barflies
I'm forever yours temporarily
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all
I want someone, anyone
Drunk ones, spun ones, anyone
I want someone, anyone
Fat ones, whacked ones, give me some
I want someone, anyone
Spend some, rent one, lend me one
Fun ones, dumb ones, gypsy chicks on rocks
Done ones, even chicks with chicken pox
I want someone, anyone
I want someone, anyone
I want someone, anyone
I want someone, anyone
Drunk ones, spun ones, give me some
I want someone, anyone
Fat ones, whacked ones, anyone
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb, with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense, not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up, now wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm, so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Somebody once asked, could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, ?Yep, what a concept?
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
You caught me lookin' at ya lookin' at me
Devil on my shoulder says you're what I need
Go on baby girl you know what I like
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Sunday night
I've got a car I'll let you drive
I've got a cave where we can hide
It's 2 am do you know where you are
Getaway car
A lot of funny people in this funny world
I'm a funny man for a funny girl
You got a mini skirt, I've got a mini bar and a:
Getaway car
Ain't nothing like it
A shiny machine
If you could just drive it
I'll show you where to put the gasoline
Don't wanna do it like they do on TV
Don't wanna mess around with movies
Don't tell your daddy, don't tell the police
Let's just keep it between you and me
I'm like everybody here tonight
I've got a short fuse I just need a light
Go on baby girl you know what I want
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Every year I wait for Christmas to come, it's all right
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
A lot of presents, I'll be opening one, it's all right
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
If I get nothing it'll be okay
'Cause Santa promised you won't go away
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
When we're together all the jingle bells ring, it's all right
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
My Christmas baby really makes my heart sing, it's all right
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
You know I know you're coming home to stay
It's Christmas morning every single day
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Hey baby
If I get nothing it'll be okay
'Cause Santa promised you won't go away
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas, come on
Come on, Christmas
Christmas come
Christmas come
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Well there she is undercover
A wild, wild lover
Take a ride and show her off like a movie star
I got all my boys wit' me, Coolio is lookin' spiffy
And I'm lookin' for a safe spot to park the ride
I slipped the man a twenty, the keys to a Hunsay
Have a backin', 45 eating sure's to the wink
And jumps into the frontseat
Purring like a kitty, she throws her ass in drive
You can hear it comin', a big 8 hummin'
Stereo thumping through American steel
With the "boom-boom-tick", the bass so sick
The line so sick, sittin' on stock wheels
'65 dons-a truck inside, with a hoola-hoop
Shaking by the dashboard - lights
I gonna keep the chrome out of the ride
I gotta keep it clean, I gotta keep it tide (Sounds
like Steve to me)
CHORUS:
Born in the '60's
When they still took pride
Making sure the need-you was a -
Swank, Swank, Ride
"Hey you gonna slow that car down?!"
To the bounce
I get when I'm waiting at the lights
The cops, the kids, their checkin' out the ride
And I, I like the ??? back, but I'm never rocking nice
But if you wanna drag, I think you better think twice
A natural born killer's still quick and precise
And a little bit of this, could you wonder what I got?
Well it don't stop
I keep a ???, out of sight
Far-out green, and berry-white
'Cause we're on our way up, inspiration calls
The ladies hit it hard with their sexy charms
I hit a ??? as it's goin' off
And I wonder who she likes more -
Me or the car?
CHORUS
(Then Coolio raps a bunch of hard to understand crap)
Well
Mom and dad
Said we could
So I did
What I should
I hung
My stocking
On a wall
I didn't get
A thing at all
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
'Cause
I didn't get
Nothin' last year
Well
Stayin' up late
To see
Santa Claus fly
Well
Sure enough
Don't ya know
The fat boy
Didn't show
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
'Cause I didn't
Get nothin'
Last year
Well
I tried
To get
A little kiss
From
A pretty
Little miss
Slapped me down
And said
"You jerk
Mistletoe
Doesn't work"
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
'Cause
I didn't get
Nothin' last year
Oh, right
Well
Wakin' up
The reindeer
Makin'
Little kids cheer
The reason
That his nose
Shine
Santa gave him
Mmoonshine
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
'Cause
I didn't get
Nothin' last year
Decorate
The street light
People lookin'
To get right
One hand
Will slap ya back
The other one
Will take ya back
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
'Cause
I didn't get
Nothin' last year
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In Christmas
I don't believe
In christmas
I don't believe
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
It's like tryin' to make somebody love you back
When they're so over that
And you know that they know it
No use in trying not to face the facts
It's a heart attack
And you don't wanna blow it but
Some things are better off in bed
Some dreams are better left for dead
Sometimes I have to shut my mouth
Ain't no how
Sun just ain't gonna shine
I know now,
Not gonna change your mind
Done is done,
I should've seen the signs
I'm out of your head,
It ain't gonna get
Better with time,
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Better with time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Sometimes you wake up in the morning light
Wanna make it right,
Just resuscitate it
You think tomorrow's gonna do the trick
What's broken you can fix
Cause you know how to play it but
Some things are better off in bed
Some dreams are better left for dead
Sometimes I have to shut my mouth
Ain't no how
Sun just ain't gonna shine
I know now,
Not gonna change your mind
Done is done,
I should've seen the signs
I'm out of your head,
It ain't gonna get
Better with time,
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Better with time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I never fit in from the start,
You said you knew you'd break my heart
But I wouldn't listen
Now I'm standing in the rain
Like a picture in a frame
And you're the one who's missing
Ain't no how
Sun just ain't gonna shine
I know now,
Not gonna change your mind
Done is done,
I should've seen the signs
I'm out of your head,
It ain't gonna get
Ain't no how
Sun just ain't gonna shine
I know now,
Not gonna change your mind
Done is done,
I should've seen the signs
I'm out of your head,
It ain't gonna get
Better with time,
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Better with time
If you don't wanna be
Like all the rest of them
Like all my so called friends
Walk with me, stand by me
Take what you want from me
Get what you feel you need
If it means that much to
Take it please
Chorus:
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
Why don't you understand
That my hearts lying in your hands
You squeeze and bleed me dry
I try to live you want me to die
If it means that much to you
If you think there's something I should do
Take what you want from me
Get what you need take it please
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think there's something I should know
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whatever happened to Justin Bieber
Was he all that or was he left behind
Did Keith stay with Nikki or did he leave her
Just a little something that's been on my mind
Whatever happened to hi top sneakers
Do you have yours just like I still have mine
Or did they go out of style baby just like streakers
Was it all for real or were we caught in time
Oh oh, where did everybody go?
In another 10 years or so
When it's after the show
Would you buy another ticket
Or just let me go
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Did we have enough of all the Facebook Twetters?
Did we really have to hear about it all the time?
Whatever happened to the die hard Gleekers
They covered everything except a song of mine
Oh oh, where did everybody go?
In another 10 years or so
When it's after the show
Would you buy another ticket
Or just let me go
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
And the years just keep on flying
And I think we've lost control
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody know?
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, where did everybody go?
In another 10 years or so
When it's after the show
Would you buy another ticket
Or just let me go
Oh oh, where did everybody go?
In another 10 years or so
When it's after the show
Would you buy another ticket
Or just let me go
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh oh oh
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
You standing in a queue
Walking through the Louvre
With your mother
Hi, took me by the eye
Caught me in the hang, undercover
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
Show someone how to grow
Make a garden be out of nothing
You beating at the moon
Barking up a tree
Stark running
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
Living in a rocky world
Listen to the mockingbird
Listen when your mama says
Baby come home, real home
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
(Christmas)
Full of happy sounds
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
They're singing
"Deck The Halls"
But it's not
Like Christmas at all
Cuz I remember
When you were here
And all the fun
We had last year
(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
I'm watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
They're singing
"Deck The Halls"
But it's not
Like Christmas at all
Cuz I remember
When you were here
And all the fun
We had last year
(Christmas)
If there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back this tear
(Christmas)
But it's Christmas day
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
I can't imagine why you flipped me off
Did Guy Fieri really teach you how to drive
Does all your raging just make you feel alive
The faces that you're wasting while you're chasing after me
Then blowing past me way too fast to see
I have been around this block a time or two
I have felt the same way that I think you do
I can lose my mind when it don't matter
But I think that I'd just rather be cool
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
Hit the Playboy mansion about half past two
Couldn't help but stare at her as she dipped in the pool
That's when you lost your sh*t and took a swing at me
I wasn't intentionally disrespecting you
I was just admiring the view
I have been around this block a time or two
I have felt the same way that I think you do
I can lose my mind when it don't matter
But I think that I'd just rather be cool
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
Ah, look baby, here's a pill for you to chill on
Every time we partyin' you wanna get your grill on
And I understand how you feel but
No contract, no big deal
Charge it to the game - Amex
You gotta loosen up - Spandex
I could flip out any day
Whateva you're cuter when you're mad anyway
Look I don't understand why you flippin' out like this
Take a chill pill
I have been around this chick a time or two
I have felt the same way that I think you do
I can lose my mind when it don't matter
But I think that I'd just rather be cool
Whoa-oh
I have been around this block a time or two
I have felt the same way that I think you do
I can lose my mind when it don't matter
But I think that I'd just rather be cool
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
Whoa-oh, no use flippin' out
I get no love, I get no conversation
She's a hot mess comin' with a lot of motivation
I'll take 20 to 1 she's got a man at home waiting
But, who cares, you know I'm just saying
Bet there's a room where we can get away and hide
A little dark corner where we can lead a life of crime
I bet she'd like to just pretend she's mine
Mess around and slide it right over the line
Comin' on, comin' on, she's comin' on to me
Oh my God, I swear her eyes were just undressing me
Everything's a blur, look at her, she'll make you pay
Hey hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
Hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
It's 2 a.m. on the streets, I think it's closing time
I got bruises in places I can't even find
Been walking home all alone, can't get her off my mind
Hey, is that her, coming up from behind
Comin' on, comin' on, she's comin' on to me
Oh my God, I swear her eyes were just undressing me
Everything's a blur, look at her, she'll make you pay
Hey hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
Hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
I could take her home and nobody'd know
She could take me where I really wanna go
I need to play it real cool right now
Pump the brakes and dial it down
Comin' on, comin' on, she's comin' on to me
Oh my God, I swear her eyes were just undressing me
Everything's a blur, look at her, she'll make you pay
Hey hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
Comin' on, comin' on, she's comin' on to me
Oh my God, I swear her eyes were just undressing me
Everything's a blur, look at her, she'll make you pay
Hey hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
Hey hey hey hey
Live to love another day!
Hey hey hey hey
I get to the party, but I'm too late
And I got stood up on my very first date
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops
It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
But here I go again
And I say
Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life
I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
When she finally calls me, I forget my phone
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed
It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends the same
And here I go again
Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life
Just when it seems like it's turnin' 'round for me
There's always something that ends up happening
I found my car but I can't find my keys
I get to the party a little too late
And once again the music stops to play
Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Did you ever feel unincluded
Pissed off, ready to lose it
You're just spinning all your wheels
Did you ever feel uninvited
Not on the list tonight it
Don't mean you can't make it real
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Take your nothing
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Make it something
Hey, what you wanna do today,
What you really wanna say
Show me what you're made of
Hey, you know you can have it all
Pick it up and throw the ball
All you gotta do is play the game
Play the game
Got a backstage pass, in my pocket
It's yours, if you want it
The whole wide world is on your side
Come on and stop freakin'
No sense in over thinkin'
You gotta walk before you fly
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Take your nothing
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Make it something
Hey, what you wanna do today,
What you really wanna say
Show me what you're made of
Hey, you know you can have it all
Pick it up and throw the ball
All you gotta do is play the game
Play the game
Yeah, you got it,
Yeah, if you want it,
Yeah, don't stop it now
Hey, what you wanna do today,
What you really wanna say
Show me what you're made of
Hey, you know you can have it all
Pick it up and throw the ball
All you gotta do is play the
Hey, what you wanna do today,
What you really wanna say
Show me what you're made of
Hey, you know you can have it all
Pick it up and throw the ball
All you gotta do is play the game

(Steve and Rosie Talking)
Steve: Yo Rosie, what time is it?
Rosie: I do not know.
Steve: It's Christmas time girl!
'Music starting'
Rosie: Why don't you go shopping,
you only need the two chestnuts (or something like that)
'Cause I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
I broke my back on Johnny's head
Somebody snitched on m
I hid a frog in sister's bed
Somebody snitched on me
I spilt ink on Mommy's rug
I made Tommy eat a bug
Bought some gum with a penny slug
Somebody snitched on me
Chorus:
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
I put a tack on teacher's chair
Somebody snitched on me
I tied a knot in Suzy's hair
Somebody snitched on me
I did a dance on Mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me
Chorus (2X)
We ain't gettin' nuttin for christmas
So you better be good the whole year through
'Cause if your not, I'm warning you
You'll get nuttin' for christmas
(Steve and Rosie talking again)
Rosie: Nothing!
Steve: In a weird crying type voice saying: I love you Rosie
Leave me alone
I’m over it
And everybody’s moving on
I can’t see my tomorrow
And yesterday’s come and gone
So leave me alone
My mind is blown
But it’s my own
So deal with it
I’m feeling fine most the time
I may be on the outside
But no one’s gettin in
So leave me alone
We’re okay
Reeling in the daze
We’re all right
We’re just getting high
Let us be
It’ll be all right
I got no strife
I’m loving life
Could you say the same?
You don’t have to move to groove
So come on up and see me
But leave that judge behind
Cuz I’m loving life
We’re okay
Reeling in the daze
We’re all right
We’re just getting high
Let us be
It’ll be all right
We’re okay
Reeling in the daze
We’re all right
We’re just getting high
Let us be
It will be all right
Ah….
I’m getting stoned
And what’s wrong with that?
The president seems to be just fine
Come on up and see me
Come on up just know
That I’m getting stoned
I’m getting stoned
I’m getting stoned
I’m getting stoned
We’re okay
Reeling in the daze
We’re all right
We’re just getting high
Let us be
It’ll be all right
It’ll be all right
The news
Had come out
In the
First World War
The bloody
Red Baron
Was flying
Once more
The Allied
Command ignored
All of it's men
And called
On Snoopy
To do it again
Was the night
Before Christmas
40 below
When Snoopy
Went up
In search
Of his foe
He spied
The Red Baron
Fiercely
They fought
With ice
On his wings
Snoopy knew
He was caught
Christmas bells
Those
Christmas bells
Ring out
From the land
Asking peace
Of all the world
And good
Will to man
The Baron
Had Snoopy
Dead
In his sights
He reached
For the trigger
To pull
It up tight
He didn't shoot
Well
We'll never know
Or was
It the bells
From the
Village below
Christmas bells
Those
Christmas bells
Ringing
Through the land
Bringing peace
To all the world
And good
Will to man
The Baron
Made Snoopy fly
To the Rhine
And forced him
To land behind
The enemy lines
Snoopy was certain
That this
Was the end
When the Baron
Cried out
"Merry Christmas
My friend"
The Baron
Then offered
A holiday toast
And Snoopy
Our hero
Saluted his host
And then
With a roar
They were both
On their way
Each knowing
They'd meet
On some
Other day
Christmas bells
Those
Christmas bells
Ringing
Through the land
Bringing peace
Ro all the world
And good
Got some money
In my pocket
Got my ticket
In my hand
Ain't got time
To talk
Ain't got time
To explain
Ain't gonna ride
A Greyhound
Or a midnight train
I'm goin'
By jet propulsion
To the promise land
Gonna run down
Through the terminal
Jump over the chain
And make love
To my baby
In baggage claim
She called me up
This mornin'
Said she needed
To see me bad
She was Jonesin'
Real hard
For the love
She knew I had
Said
She woke up
When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad
But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don't give my brother a steve austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy
Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While you're drinkin down your wine
Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
