Eels (Anguilliformes; play /æŋˌɡwɪlɨˈfɔrmz/) are an order of fish, which consists of four suborders, 20 families, 111 genera and approximately 800 species. Most eels are predators. The term "eel" is also used for some other similarly shaped fish, such as electric eels and spiny eels, but these are not members of the Anguilliformes order.

Eels are elongated fish, ranging in length from 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in the one-jawed eel (Monognathus ahlstromi) to 4 metres (13 ft) in the slender giant moray. Adults range in weight from 30 grams to well over 25 kilograms. They possess no pelvic fins, and many species also lack pectoral fins. The dorsal and anal fins are fused with the caudal or tail fin, forming a single ribbon running along much of the length of the animal. Most eels live in the shallow waters of the ocean and burrow into sand, mud, or amongst rocks. A majority of eel species are nocturnal, and thus are rarely seen. Sometimes, they are seen living together in holes, or "eel pits". Some species of eels also live in deeper water on the continental shelves and over the slopes deep as 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). Only members of the Anguillidae family regularly inhabit fresh water, but they too return to the sea to breed.

Listen to The Mighty Boosh interviews

The Mighty Boosh is a British comedy troupe featuring comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. Developed from 3 stage shows and a 6-episode radio series, it has since spawned a total of 20 television episodes for BBC Three and 2 live tours of the UK, as well as 2 live shows in the United States.

Fielding first met Barratt after seeing him perform his solo stand-up routine at the Hellfire Comedy Club in the Wycombe Swan Theatre. The pair soon found that they shared comic interests, formed a double act, and "decided to be the new Goodies". After their first performance together at a bar in London in April 1998, Barratt and Fielding developed their zookeeper characters--Howard Moon and Vince Noir, respectively--in a series of sketches for Paramount Comedy’s Unnatural Acts. Here they also met American Rich Fulcher, who became Bob Fossil. Fielding’s friend Dave Brown and Fielding's brother Michael also became regular collaborators. Richard Ayoade was another original cast member, playing adventurer Dixon Bainbridge, but Matt Berry replaced him in the first television series, since Ayoade was under contract with Channel 4. Ayoade returned in the second and third series as a belligerent shaman named Saboo.

Haack ...The King of Techno (2004)

Plot
A look into the underground world of Bruce Haack, a genius whose past work continues to garner recognition with time. The homespun musician couldn't have done it without the support of his family, friends, lovers, and the neighborhood kids he called "starchildren," all of whom paint the big picture of Bruce's life legacy and so-called dimension of imagination. In addition, various musicians of many genres have joined in today showing worldwide support, thus contributing to Bruce's objective, "Sure it's nice to be famous, but I'm more interested in obtaining a telepathic following." As for the music world, history's future king is coming from the past.

Quotes:

[Petey and Jeff watch Meta walking away]::Petey: Nice!::Jeff Bailey: Awfully cold around the heart.

Jeff Bailey: How big a chump can you get to be? I was finding out.

Jeff Bailey: You say to yourself, "How hot can it get?" Then, in Acapulco, you find out.

Jack Fisher: You know, a dame with a rod is like a guy with a knitting needle.

Jeff Bailey: You know, maybe I was wrong and luck is like love. You have to go all the way to find it.::Ann Miller: You do to keep it.

Jeff Bailey: I sell gasoline, I make a small profit. With that I buy groceries. The grocer makes a profit. We call it earning a living. You may have heard of it somewhere.

Whit Sterling: My feelings? About ten years ago, I hid them somewhere and haven't been able to find them.

Jeff Bailey: You can never help anything, can you? You're like a leaf that the wind blows from one gutter to another.

Kathie Moffat: Oh, Jeff, I don't want to die!::Jeff Bailey: Neither do I, baby, but if I have to I'm gonna die last.

Jeff Bailey: It was the bottom of the barrel, and I was scraping it.

Oh man... feelin' so nice
That was a long cold night,
But then the sun came out to thaw the ice
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,
The Tiger Lily, the Marigold
Oh look at her... she's got something to say,
And I cant wait to hear it
Won't let her get away
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,
The Tiger Lily, the Marigold
Oh yeah... oh my goodness!
You gonna love what's happening here,
There ain't nothing for me to fear
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,
The Tiger Lily, the Marigold
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,
The Tiger Lily, the Marigold
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,
The Tiger Lily, the Marigold
Open the window man and smell the Peach Blossom,

Mother couldn't love me
But that didn't stop me
From liking her
She was my mom
And i was no son of a bitch
Daddy was a drunk
A most unpleasant man
Asleep on the floor
Just imside the front door
With a smile underneath his red nose
The wrong look his way
Well that could really wreck his day
And believe me when i say
It would wreck your day too
Grandma took me in
Though times were pretty thin
Said i was no son of a bitch
Down on my knees

Don't cry
All the songs you sing
All the flowers you bring
I'm part of everything there ever was
And will be
Go on
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me
I'm already where i should be
Look up
A plane writes in the sky
For every passerby
No one ever dies
They just write things in the sky
If you
Wanna think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing

There she goes down in my head
Saying things she never said
E.e. cummings coming soon
But she'll be reading on the moon
And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms
But she'll always be strawberry blonde
There she goes back in my heart
Pulling cobwebs in the dark
The five o'clock comes 'round the bend
And so she goes off with a friend
And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms
But she'll always be strawberry blonde
She wrote a letter to her sister
She said this time it's the end
She never knew how much i missed her
Around the bend
There she goes down in my head
Leaving cobwebs on my bed
E.e. cummings coming soon
But she'll be laughing on the moon
And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms

Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't really care
She don't like me comin' 'round
With my short greasy hair
She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away
Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't give a damn
She thinks i'm some kinda' scum
'cause i don't call her ma'am
She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away
Your stepmother hates my guts
But i won't give up yet
I want you so goddamn much
But she sure is upset
Looking down again i knock
On the door
There she is

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line
Hummin' along old dominion blues
Not much to see and not much left to lose
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back
I feel like an old railroad man
Who's really tried the best that he can
To make his life add up to something good
But this engine no longer burns on wood
And i guess i may never understand
The times that i live in
Are not made for a railroad man
I feel like an old railroad man
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station's empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know

People talking sound like dogs
Barking through the trees
Making no sense at all
Meaning nothing to me
Mother mary
Quite contrary
I did not mean to let you go
So quick
People talking crack me up
They don't have a little clue
What it's like to be me
What it's like to lose you
Mother mary
I grow weary
I did not mean to let you go
So quick
People talking sound like dogs
Barking up the wrong tree
Take a good man down
And set the evil free
Mother mary
Quite contrary
I did not mean to let you go

Sad foot sign
Why you gotta taunt me this way
The happy side is broken now
It's gonna be an awful day
And if i have to drive back by
To see from a different side
Would it be enough to say
The first time was a lie
Sad foot sign
The end is coming
That's what they say
Maybe you could see it
In your heart for one day
To let me feel what it's about
To really be alive
To live and breathe and see and feel
Then i can die
And when i come back to this world
I'll put on the uniform
And go into the foot sign shop

Well i went walking
Out yesterday
A man was carrying a sign that says
"the world is gonna end tomorrow"
Hey buddy, got a nickel i can borrow?
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
Ol' miss headtrip
She's gettin' down
You don't see her much walking 'round town
Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'
Looking for a light with her head in the oven
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
Miss kovaleva
She's lookin' good
Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood
She knows something that you don't know
Something she learned about a long time ago
This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack
This rotten world's gonna chew you up

A monk with a hard-on
And a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs
Through the hat that he strode
As he follows a path
Filled with every desire
And mimics his footsteps
And sets his prayers on fire
Well, I too have chosen
That which left no choice
To sing without loving
A solitary voice
To observe with passion
Each careful denial
The protrusions which give my
Life meaning for a while
Sometimes I see you
In berries and weeds
You're brushing your teeth
With liquorice seeds
Standing too close
Pulling your clothes
Smiling at God
And the meaning of life grows
No and I'll never tell
And I'll never know
What candles you light
After the show
And I'll never tell
And I'll never ask

Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Walk down any street
Ask the people you meet
What is it about this place
Keeps you on your feet?
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Night is coming down
Closer to the ground
Gonna have a little fun
While i'm still around
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Don't believe the words they say to you
When they are so absurd
And don't believe a word they say about me
Because i'm
Feeling mighty fine
I think i gotta go
I think i'm gonna die
Oh my god, something's wrong
The end is coming near
Because i'm
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Yes i am

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place
Where else could a creep like me
Meet such a pretty face
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
Used to always feel like
Wished that i was dressed better
Never had a lot of luck
Until i finally met her
Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done
Always felt like giving in
To the feeling i can't win
But i took it on the chin
Now i'm finally cashing in
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
My losing streak is done
I said my losing streak is done
Did you hear me

There's a bright golden haze in the meadow There's a bright golden haze in the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky
Well... Oh, what a beautiful morning Yes, what a wonderful day Look out there I've got a beautiful feeling Everything... Everything's goin' my way
Oh, the cattle are standing like statues The cattle are standing like statues They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by And a little brown maverick is winkin' her eye
She says, "Oh, what a beautiful morning" Yes, what a wonderful day I've got a beautiful feeling I got everything... Everything's goin' my way
"Horns stand, please... Now perform"
The sounds of the earth are like music The sounds of the earth are like music The breeze is as busy, it don't miss a tree And a little ol' weepin' willow is laughin' at me
She says, "Oh, what a beautiful morning" Yes, what a wonderful day I've got a beautiful feeling I got everything... Everything's goin' my way Everything's goin' my way Oh baby! Oh baby! I wanna thank you, little girl For such a wonderful day I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's goin' my way

Shut up, you don't have to shout it It's fucked up if you think about it too long Feelin' like I'm all used up Half empty, it's a broken cup, that's all You little fool, you could be happy Come take my hand, we'll go for a ride Shut up, you don't have to remind me It's not enough to fully blind me from it Feeling like a stupid asshole Take me now, if this is it this sucks You little fool, you could be happy Come take my hand, we'll go for a ride Look up ahead, off in the distance The sun is shining on the bright side

Look at that picture on the wall And what do you see? The eyes of a goat in a cowboy suit Lookin' like me
The attic is smoldering The hallways bleed And the basement is full of useless trinkets That I don't need
I need you to know I'm not insane I know where I go I'm not afraid To leave behind a place like this
So if you need to look away If you feel a little sick You don't have to be afraid I'll show you a trick
The porch is a rusty cage The garden's a weed And the basement is full of useless trinkets That I don't need
I need you to know I'm not insane I know where I go I'm not afraid To leave behind a place like this

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pritty
Cool cat lookin for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm weezin like a bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on lets dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

But I don't know if it came
The nurse, she likes my writings
So she keeps it just like me
So that it won't get away
I won't be denied this time
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
And it's getting hard to tell where
What I am ends
And what they're making me begins
And I won't be denied this time
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Saturday in the yard, they'll bring you by
We'll lay down on the grass
And watch as the sky closes in
And I won't be denied this time

Got my foot on the ladder

Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them
Hard to believe
After all these years
But you are one of them
Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing
To belong
Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But i can't let it go
Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm
Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things

I was at a funeral the day i realized
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the
old post office
The flag was flying at half-mast
And i was thinking' bout how
everyone is dying
And maybe it's time to lie
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
Walked in to the Thrif-tee
Saw the man with the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't me this time
'cause I know I've only got
this moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
Laying in bed tonight I was thinking
and listening to all the dogs
and the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries
to didge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk
And maybe it's time to live

New shit, new shit
New shit, new shit

standing in the dark outside the house
breathing the cold and sterile air
well I was thinking how it must feel
to see that little light
and watch it as it disappears
and fades into
and fades into the night
so I know you're going pretty soon
radiation sore throat got your tongue
magic markers tattoo you
and show it whare to aim
and strangers break their promises
you won't feel any
you won't feel any pain
and the streets are jammed with cars
rockin' their horns
to race to the wire
of the unfinished line
thought that I'd forget all about the past
but it doesn't let me run too fast
and I just wanna stand outside
and know that this is right
and this is true
and I will not
fade into
fade into the night
standing here in the dark

efil¡¯s good and the time is right
I¡¯ll bundle up and slip away
the count is down and the drip is up
it¡¯s time to split this hunk of clay
now you can bring my suitcase
but you can¡¯t bring me
and you can have all the money
¡®cause you say that you must
but if you think that it matters
take a look at me
and don¡¯t close your eyes as I turn into dust
efil¡¯s good
don¡¯t tell me that I can¡¯t do this
as if you knew
but you don¡¯t know
how efil¡¯s good

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell
Jehovah's witness let's not pretend
That for one second you are my friend
Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night
Jehovah's witness why must it be
Just when i'm feeling good i look out and see
You walking up in your very nice suit
Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot
Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home

I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell

Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night

Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot
Jehovah's witness leave me alone

When you called
Your voice was so grave
I knew it would be
The last time we spoke
You said something
That i could not hear
To hear with my own ears
The last time we spoke
And it's a hard time
Trying to get through
All the days that drag on
Thinking about you
Nothing hurts
Like someone who knows
Everything about you
Leaving you behind
And it's a hard time
Trying to get through
All the days that drag on
Thinking about you
When you called
You might as well have killed me
And that was the last time

If you see natalie
Send along this message
I know that you've been through
An awful lot of late
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
Friends and fortunetellers
They all say you're gonna die
If you don't brighten up
You know you gotta try
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
If you see natalie
Send along this message
You may not need this world
But this world needs you here
Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you
You might not feel it now
But you're gonna get there
And see it somehow

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away
We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day
We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents' names and
Listen to the water flow softly by
I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away all lies
In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds perch on
Gray stones as the garden's growing dim
We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters

I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singing songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
'cause someone told me that stones don't float
I like to sit out back
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They don't like radio tracks
And they don't ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well these guys know who they are
And what they need is in their own backyard
I like to play in the snow
I stick my hand in now where did it go
It might be mighty cold

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late
By three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
You see i never thought enough of myself
To realize that losing me could mean
Something like the tears in your eyes
And i want to tell you i'm sorry
And it's too late to start
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
And it's christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better
When you were mine
And i have no way of knowing where you are
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what i was doing

So you've got balls now
Marie on the run
Down on newberry street
Seventeen seconds of fun
Apes are overrated, blucky
A kinky batch of pudding, yay!
Garbage dump pumpkin rot
And candy apple gray
Werewolf in a flower bed
Perfect day for lucky guy
This song was never meant to be released
What's that flaming ball in the sky?
The crack head from texas
He can read my feet
A bruised pinata
And a liquid pixie
If friends were flowers
Nothing gold can stay
Consexual sense
And squeegee tales
Bees in the cookie jar
Symphonic despair
Reinventing the manifesto
I, you, we ... don't care
Jacuzzi's and bunnies
A broken fondue set
Koool g is in the outhouse
You can be my mr. french
This old frisbee
Is shitting in the alley
I saw a naked picture of me on the internet
Wearing jesus's new snowshoes
Golly gee
If hell is crowded, then we shall sing
A hip song for the kids in the back
For michele & the dripping of a faucet
Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks
Olympic mayonnaise, dr. thunder!
Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts
With hollywood suspicion

I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the one thats really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright

Nobody's quite sure how it became
That something so good
Could become of this day
But she's like a dream
Where you've lost all your fear
And in this life you're lucky to have
Even one good friend
And it's her that i'll miss in the end
Love stories come
And then love stories go
But this is the one
That i'll always know
She is the one that makes me believe
And in this life you've got yourself
On which you can depend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end
Love is a word that gets thrown 'round a lot
Sometimes it means something
Other times not
But she is the greatest love i'll ever know
And in this life you'll never know
What's waiting 'round the bend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end

[Instrumental]

going to your funeral and feeling I could scream
everything goes away
driving down the highway through the perfect sunny dream
a perfect day for perfect pain
look at all the people with the flowers in their hands
they put the flower on the box
that¡¯s holding all the sand that was...
that was once...
that was once you
Honolulu hurricane I knew that you were not insane
living in the insane world
smiling like it¡¯s no big deal
scrabby wounds that never heal
the woman was only a girl
look at all the people with their heads down in their hands
when everything I¡¯m feeling makes it hard to understand
that,
what I need to miss...
It¡¯s what I need to miss...
is you
going to your funeral and I¡¯m feeling like a fool
no one¡¯s gonna take the blame
thinking about the days of hanging out behind the school
everything goes away

Well if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near
Yeah I've been through a lot and you can't scare me
We'll go on baby if you just dare me
I'll break through any wall
Just give me a call
I'm a dine-at-nighter
I'm a prizefighter
Well if you get sad
I'm your friend
I've got an ear
I'll always lend
You know that you can always talk to me
Now come on baby take a walk with me
Tell me all, Tell buddy all
Just give me call
I'm a go-all-nighter
I'm a prizefighter
Well when you're down
And all alone
There's always somewhere you can go
Here I am, a true friend
There's nothing gonna change over here on my end
Don't be scared, It's better shared
You know I always cared
I'm an every-thing's-all-righter
I'm a prizefighter
Well if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near
Well I've been through a lot and you can't scare me
We'll go on baby if you just dare me
I'll win your heart, now let it start.
Let it start
I'm a don't-do-it-wrong-do-it-righter
I'm a prizefighter

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line
Hummin' along old dominion blues
Not much to see and not much left to lose
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back
I feel like an old railroad man
Who's really tried the best that he can
To make his life add up to something good
But this engine no longer burns on wood
And i guess i may never understand
The times that i live in
Are not made for a railroad man
I feel like an old railroad man
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station's empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back

You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good
That it is true
Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling
Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling
Try to forget what's in the past
Tomorrow is here
Love,
Orange sky above lighting your way
There's nothing to fear
Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling
Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling
Some people are good
Babe in the 'hood
So pure and so free
I'd make a safe bet

Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging ma to shave me please
You little punks think you own this town
Well someday someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
You take back what you said now
That's the last time i cry
You don't know what it is to be a friend now
'til i walk beside you on the street now
Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my hairy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Ain't no way to set me free now
Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me

I don't miss where i came from
But each night i dream about being back home
When i wake up in the morning
I'm too tired
And tired of being alone
So i get up and go downtown
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Where i can prove something to the world
I can prove something to the world
Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer
Daddy put us in the truck and
Dropped us off and said good luck
Then one lucky kid waiting for the bus
Made a winner out of one of us
Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer
Going down to the railroad tracks
Where people know that they better not relax
I'm the man
Baby i am the man

see this watch she gave me?
well it still ticks away
the days I'm climbing back for me
the medication's wearing off
gonna hurt not a little, a lot
keep on tickin' you're not lickin' me
step on a crack break your mother's heart
red light green light black
suicide e-mail do not delete
plug it back in the jack
start to be what they want you to be
and you see yourself as they see you
sunsrise at the corner of
sunset and alvarado
I think what the hell do I do now
watch the day disintegrate
so I can stay up late and wait
see this watch she gave me?
well it still ticks away

P.S. You Rock My World
I was at a funeral the day I realised
I wanted to spend my life with you
sitting down on the steps at the old post office
the flag was flying at half mast
and I was thinkin' 'bout how everyone was dying
and maybe it is time to live
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
walked into the thrif-tee
saw the man with the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change
but it didn't bother me this time
'cause I know I only got this moment
and it's good
I went to the gas station
old woman honked her horn
waiting for me to fix her car
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do
laying in bed tonight I was thinking
and listening to all the dogs
and the sirens and the shots
and how the careful man tries to dodge the bullets
while a happy man takes a walk
and maybe it is time to live

No, I don't know how to start
I'm the king of the roads, yeah
La la la
Springfield's looking pretty dusty today
I see their dreams coming undone
The view from inside ward nine affords this much
A town teeming with the unloved
Close the window and lock it so it's good and tight
La la la
Turning eighteen and trying not to look too lost
Have a not so nice day
The jacket makes me straight so I can just sit back and bake
You know I think I'm gonna stay
Talking very loud but no one hears a word I say
La la la
La la la
Come visit me tonight at eight o'clock
And then you'll see how I am not the crazy one
Voices tell me I'm the shit
Twenty days go by and every day looks the same
La la la
La la la

You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?
Taking flight
And you could be here tomorrow
Taking flight
Well, you could get here tonight
I'm gonna fly on down
For the last stop to this town
What? I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away, well, alright
Get down
Get down
Get down
Takin' a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream whatchya talkin' bout?
'Cause they don't know how to let you in
And I can't let you out
What if I was not your only friend in this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back
I'm gonna fly on down
For the last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Get down
Get down
Get down
Why we take a ride away up
High through the neighborhood?
Up over the billboards
And the factories and smoke
I'm gonna fly on down
For the last stop to this town, yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away
Get down
Get down
Get down

coming down through the alley
trying to walk without a sound
it doesn¡¯t really matter
¡®cause there ain¡¯t no one around
tip toe through the alley and
tip toe through your life
you still got it coming
be it gun be it knife
next thing you know
you¡¯re eating hospital food
karaoke castration
take the wasp alive
he¡¯s gonna sting you anyway
and take you to the hive
yesterday was suckin¡¯ and
tomorrow¡¯s looking bad
who knew that today
was the only thing I had
hospital food
want some hospital food
hospital food
delicious hospital food
in your tribute album to the world
you must never forget
to sing the one about the cat
who¡¯s always getting wet
he always got a problem
he¡¯s a very bitter dude
and now he¡¯s complaining
about his hospital food
hospital food
it¡¯s gonna help the medicine go down
want some hospital food
gonna take a walk without a sound
a little hospital food
helps the spoonful of sugar come up
I want some hospital food
in your blender and in my cup

Scary little suicide bomber
On the way to paradise
Gonna take yourself and be with her
Killin' once and killin' twice
Well it's a real hard time
Singin' the paradise blues
Kinda hard to blame somebody
For goin' to a better place
For thinkin' there's some kinda magic
Up there pass outer space
Well that's some crazy-ass shit
Singin' the paradise blues
I'm gonna walk these filthy streets
I'm gonna raise my head
I may not be in paradise
Woo, but I'm not dead
Ain't gonna fly blind
Singin' these paradise blues
Your contempt and your sarcasm
It's all so transparent
Why don't you give up the act now, kid
Woo, and let some love in?
Cause that's all that we got

One, two, three
Two, two, three
I am a man
In great pain over
Great beauty
It's not easy
Standing on my feet
These days
But you know I'm pretty sure that
I've been through worse
And I'm sure I can take the hit
I pushed the bed against the window today
So there'd only be one side
Well, it's a little less lonely that way
But I'm still dying inside
When I wake up
In the middle of the night
No one's gonna tell me
I'll be all right
So many thousands
Of days in my life
That I don't remember
And a small handful
Of days that I do
Hold near to my heart
And one of those days
That I remember well
Is about me and you
When it's time
To look back on my life
Most of it won't seem so important
The shit that matters
And what I'll really miss
Is falling asleep with your arms around me
Waking up knowing that you're there
Making everything feel right in the world
People sleeping
In Hazmat suits
Taping up their windows
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world
And it's hard to make any sense of it
But one thing I know that is true in this world
Is the love that I felt for you
Being on my feet these days
Well, it's a wonder I survive
No one taught me how to live on my own
I'm running scared
One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
And I'll be all right
I just gotta get

Well if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near
Yeah I've been through a lot and you can't scare me
We'll go on baby if you just dare me
I'll break through any wall
Just give me a call
I'm a dine-at-nighter
I'm a prizefighter
Well if you get sad
I'm your friend
I've got an ear
I'll always lend
You know that you can always talk to me
Now come on baby take a walk with me
Tell me all, Tell buddy all
Just give me call
I'm a go-all-nighter
I'm a prizefighter
Well when you're down
And all alone
There's always somewhere you can go
Here I am, a true friend
There's nothing gonna change over here on my end
Don't be scared, It's better shared
You know I always cared
I'm an every-thing's-all-righter
I'm a prizefighter
Well if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near
Well I've been through a lot and you can't scare me
We'll go on baby if you just dare me
I'll win your heart, now let it start.
Let it start
I'm a don't-do-it-wrong-do-it-righter

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No not at all
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within says
"Go ahead and find her, just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she'll be there"

Well it's a pretty bad place outside this door
I could go out there but I don't see what for
And I'm happy living here in the dark
On the edge of my mind
And it's nobody else's business
Now it's just me myself and the secrets that live within the walls
of the mansions of los feliz
Well the city's on fire you can smell the flesh
And the screams like dogs in the wilderness
And where all the poor souls go
Looking to mend their hearts
Like it's everyone else's business
And at best they'll find the secrets that live within the walls
of the mansions of los feliz
Well he's gone out again and left you all alone
Come on over I'm always home
And where do the poor souls go
Looking to mend their hearts
Well I do mean to make it my business
And it's just me myself and the secrets that live within the walls

Little bird
Hoppin' on my porch
I know it sounds kinda sad
But what's it all for?
Right now you're the only friend I have in the world
And I just can't take out very much
Goddamn
I miss that girl
Little bird
You look all right
I'm sure it's not easy
Gettin' through your night
So tell me this can't be how it's gonna end
Tell me my heart
Somehow
Dear God
Is gonna mend
Little bird
I guess you're right
Can't let her take me out
Without a fight
But right now I can't see making sense of this world
I just can't take out very much
Goddamn

Everyone loves you
Nobody cares
An awful collection
Of enemies and friends
Congratulations to you
With sad regrets
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin
The psychic pain
Of living in this world
Is overwhelming me
Again and again
A beautiful afternoon
Inside you in your bed
I'm tired of the old shit
Let the new shit begin
Nobody loves you
Everyone cares
None of them know what's
Coming 'round the bend
Congratulations to me
Many happy returns
I'm tired of the old shit

(Something's not right, I don't understand)
Nowadays I keep to myself
Everybody else can look some other way
Things I say seem to get me into trouble
That I've been through for too many days
And trouble is a friend of mine
I'd like to leave behind
I like my friends more refined
Things I lose
Weighing on my heart
Every time I start to think
Maybe it's through
A little lie
Goes a long way when you can't say
Quite for sure what's the truth
The truth is something no one really
Wants to hear you say
Just how you doin and have a nice day
Nowadays you go for a walk
Better not stop and wave or say hello
Just this song
People will spit, give you shit
Just for looking at them
And for walking too slow
Slowly and methodically
I'll lock the world away

White chalk, written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore
I love Jennifer Eccles
And I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
And I know she loves me
I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside
One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
That maybe she done the same
I hope that Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles

White chalk, written on red brick

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can shoot me up full of bullet holes
But the souljacker can't get my soul
Souljacker can't get my soul
Left my carcass with the worms and moles
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can hang my beck from the old flagpole
But the souljacker can't get my soul

Look at downtown
Sunrise of sam
Bring it on down now
I'm in a jam
Where did you find such a rocking vest?
Said get away kid
You've become a pest
Heaven can't help a teenage witch
From sinking deeper down into the ditch
Silky gown
Pink and brown
Shut you down
And shut you up
Little lizard legs and little lizard tails
Always taste better when you're sitting in jail
Still i don't think that i can resist
After all the turds that i had to kiss
Heaven can't help a teenage witch
From sinking deeper down into the ditch
Keeping arms length from the long arm law
Going to the bank for a fifty dollar draw
Gonna find the place where the werewolves hang

Did you think that i would laugh
When you said i was small?
Did you think that that would pass
As if nothing at all?
You say a lot of funny things, my little bunny
And i almost always laugh
But that's not really funny
You play the little bells and tell a good story
You bake delicious pie and that's enough for me
But i am big i am your man
And you're my little honey
And i like what you have to say
But that's not really funny
You must not continue to emasculate me
The neighbor children through the window
Clearly see
The little boy will wipe his nose because it's runny
Then point at me and laugh

She has eyes disability blue, a German dog and strict curfew
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she's turned the script to another page
And she doesn't really give a damn what you have to say
She makes a call on her friend's cell phone
The operator answers and says you're not alone
And if one man's ceiling is another's dance floor
Then she'll be the one running to the sea shore
Trying to tell the seagulls this is home
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she'll be the one wiser than her age

Guess i'm doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
Pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that i'm bad news
She tucks me in and then she screams
"one day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And don't pretend you're not bad news"
Come on now i'll take you home
You don't have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and you'll find out
I am nothing but bad news
You can never change where you're from
No matter who i will accuse
I'm gonna get on with a better life
And one day i won't be bad news
It's the same everyday when i wake up
It's the same in the way that you
Gave me up
In the middle of a swan dive
And i was soaring down

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon
The gods smile hard down upon
A love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare
Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon
A sweeter feeling i can't guess
Will ever be
A truer union i can't see
I don't know how much more i can take
I will run through the streets
I will howl at the moon

Dear ma
You might find it hard to believe
But i think i finally found a home
The weather's lovely
There's so much to see
And people who know what i know
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where
They're bound
Dear ma
I know this is hard for you too
But some things are better off said
I've always found it so hard to adjust
I'd rather stay in bed
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where

This is the day
That i give myself up cold
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And so you shake your coat off
And get on your way
Bloodshot and trembling
A new day has begun
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And you blow it all away
And get on your way
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
But i'm not fuckin' around anymore

What would you say if i left this town tomorrow
I guess i would
But know i'd miss the train
I know i would
I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one
Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world
I never want to be the same
Another time i might have fit in alright
But not this time
I guess i'm just too soon
To change my tune
I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one
Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world

Get off your sled and go to bed
Don't you ever tire?
Throw a bone i'm finally home
Curled up by the fire
Snow is falling from the sky
Like ashes from an urn
Sweet dreams my little one
Now it's my turn
Well christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew
Now when i sleep i like to dream
Of rabbits in the snow
Jumping right into my jaws
From their rabbit holes
Take one home and set him down
Right next to you shoes
Wake up to a big surprise
My gift to you
And christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew
And christmas is going to the dogs
We're scarfing down the turkey and eggnog
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew

I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I may check out
At any given time
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am i stronger than the curse
Everyone is scared of me
And i'm scared of me too
Never know just what i'm gonna do
Heads up, kittens
Everything is bad
The sky is dark now
But it's the best dark i ever had
Hang on to a little thing
And let it guide the way
Bring it with you to
Another day
I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I'm hanging on here
And i'm really gonna try
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse

Sitting in the funeral parlor
On the night before the day
Think i might have left the stove on
Think i might have left the door unlocked
I don't know if the stores will all be closed
When i get out
I don't know if the chores will all be done
When i get home
Sitting in the funeral parlor
Listen to the organ play
What if i forgot the trash cans
What if i forgot to telephone
I don't know if i wrote the number down
In my book
I don't know if i can stand to stay here

Came home tonight
And i felt like i'd die of loneliness
Strange you think
Popularity
Looking for a simple life
But life ain't simple
I'm tired and sick
But i don't wanna be alone
I'll go to a party
But i don't really want to
For now i'm sitting out here on my porch
Writing in the dark air
Listening to my little black cat meow
Trying to vent some of the terrible passion
That's coursing through me
Something about you
Something about spending the afternoon
Asleep in your arms
I hate you

If you're scared to die
You better not be scared to live
I've been spending all my days
Giving all i can give
Last night i heard someone walk in
Through my bedroom door
What they wanted i'm not exactly sure
A friendly ghost is all i need
Marking time on a broken watch
Counting days 'til the old pawn shop
Sells me back my saxophone
Then everyone's gonna leave me alone
Two times i thought i heard someone
Knocking on the glass
I hid my head and prayed that it would pass
A friendly ghost is all i need
If you're scared to die
You better not be scared to live
I've been carrying 'round a grudge
Think i better forgive
Last night i heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor
I got up and i opened up the door

Mama had an epideral
Hoping i would be a girl
The night was black
The sky was booming
Darker clouds were surely looming
I heard screaming
Doctor shouts
And baby then i came out
And here i am
Found my way down the street
Chicken hawk's favorite meat
The man was big
The gun was loaded
He had cash but never showed it
I heard screaming
Bleeding throat
And baby i got on the boat
And here i am
Now i'm up here in the trees
Shakin' off the bugs and fleas
The days are long
The sun is beating
Each day i don't die is cheating
Send me some lovin'
Send me some lovin'
Send it now
Send it by giraffe

C'mon to where you need to go

The sun kisses the morning dew
Just the way that i'm kissing you
The birds are tweeting in sweet harmony
Teaching the free world how to be free
The day is new and a good one too
How can i prove my love to you
I wanna give you everything
Me and the birds
Now we're gonna sing
When i wake up to your beautiful smile
Sometimes it takes me a little while
To realize that i am awake
And that living today will be
A piece of cake
And i won't keep you for myself
No you're not a toy on my shelf
The world needs to know that you're here
So spread your wings and fly, my dear
The day is new and a good one too
How can i prove my love to you
I wanna give you everything
Me and the birds

She put on her party dress
I put on my jacket
and walked out the door
Didn’t have nowhere to go
Didn’t matter that the night
was getting cold
Pulled her closer to me
To keep her warm
And everything
was beautiful and free
In the beginning
She woke up
late in the morning
I pulled the curtain back
The sun came pouring in
There was no one in the world
There was nothing else
just me and my girl
She put her arms around me
gave me a kiss
And everything
was beautiful and free

You need help, baby, you've come unhinged
It's clear to everybody, you're on the fringe
Thought I'd stay until I died
But the twinkle in your eye is gone
And now all that's left is a mean old girl
Behind your crazy eyes
We were good together, as good as it gets
I only wanted to help you from the day we met
And I'm sleeping on the couch for months on end
You were more than my girl
You were my best friend
All that's left is a mean old girl
Behind her crazy eyes
I defy you to defy me
In your crazy state
You don't know which way is up
And it's way too late
To ever fix all of the things
That you did break
Not least of which

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can shoot me up full of bullet holes
But the souljacker can't get my soul
Souljacker can't get my soul
Left my carcass with the worms and moles
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can hang my neck from the old flagpole

She's got her life living in her heart She's got these eyes well where do I start?
Like looking at the deep night sky
So many worlds inside her eyes
She's a spectacular girl
Part of the job of being a man
Is knowing when to let go of her hand
A kind of power it can't be reined in
To hold her back would be a sin
She's a .. anekatips
Spectacular girl
She sees the beauty in things we all miss
All good things are defined by the kiss
If you feeling like you can't believe
Well then how do you explain the miracle I see
She's a spectacular girl
Spectacular girl
Not a desire and not a need
somethings just happen because they have to be
I'm gonna get there, I'm telling you sir
I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her
She's a spectacular girl
Spectacular girl
Oh yeah

I got some sleep and I needed it
Not a lot, just a little bit
Someone's always tryin' to keep me from it
It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
Ask me any question and I'll level with you
I didn't ask but anything but bein' with you
That's the only thing I was born to do
And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
Another day is put to the test
Lord knows I'm doin' my best
Never a brother, always a guest
It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by

22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Aw yeah
Johnny don't like the teacher
Johnny don't like the school
One day johnny gonna do something
Show 'em he's nobody's fool
Aw yeah
Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers
Trailer park of broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you're bleeding
Sally don't like her daddy
Sally don't like her friends
Sally and johnny watching tv
Waiting for it to end
Aw yeah
Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers
Trailer park of broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you
Rock
22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck

I am a lone wolf
I always was and will be
I feel fine
I am resigned to this
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Got my cares
Wrapped-up all nice and neat
In my suitcase
I'll take it down the street
To a place with plenty of space for me
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
It blows my mind
That people wanna try to get
Inside my tired head
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Nobody needs to get too close to me
You'll only see this truth

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless
Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone
I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless
All around you people walking
Empty hearts and voices talking
Looking for and finding
Nothing
Don't got a lot of time
Don't really care
Not selling anything
Buyer beware
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless
Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man

Woke up with a bang
And a bug on your face
It crawled in your mouth
And gave you a taste of
The good life you left behind
But i think you're gonna be fine
Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through
This nagging malaise
Is more than a phase
It feels like a job
But no boss ever pays you to lay there
And think how you'll die
While the tears start to well in your eyes
Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through
One more saturday
All alone through the night
You've got to be sure
When you turn out that light
That it's going to turn on again
You've got to be your good friend
Somebody loves you

Went down by the old courthouse
Stumbling through the streets
Had to get out of the house
Had to use my feet
And you may not think much of me now
But i think so damn much of you
Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
A devil of a time awaits you
When the party's over
You're on your own
Trash truck coming up the road
Picking up the trash
Riding to a better place
Hoping we don't crash
Thinking how things have turned out
I never would've guessed it this way
Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
A devil of a time awaits you
When the party's over
You're on your own
Now the party's over

I was wrong about bobby
I admit he's not the dumbest angry young nitwit
No he can cut it with the best
And you'd better get out of his way
His girlfriend keeps him living in
A world where fear will always win
And if you see him out tonight
Well you'd better get out of his way
You gotta give it up for the new modern man
He's gonna have a ball
Give it all that he can
Someday he's gonna show us all i bet
Out in the sun while we're all soaking wet
If it's a dry life that you want
Then you'd better get out of his way
You gotta give it up for the new modern man
He's gonna have a ball
Give it all that he can
I was wrong about bobby don't you know
He's had it tough and he had to make a go
But if he doesn't stop fucking with me
Well he'd better get out of my way
Yeah he'd better get out of my way

If i could love you
I'm sure i would
If i could hold you
And feel understood
I'd be there now
But i don't know how
'cause i am an animal
Bundle of rags
Wrap me tight
Keep me safe inside
Warm at night
I am no more
I am not good
I am so sorry
If you misunderstood
I'd make it up
But i cannot

Daisy
I never thought i'd go
Crazy
But i never thought you so
Until now that i see
All the crazy things you're doing
Why you wanna ruin it
And me
Counting numbered days
Lately
I think you know it's true
That's it
It's all over, i'm through
For a while we can smile
For the people that we're passing
And even if they're asking
We can lie
Counting numbered days
Looks like the sun is gonna set
Know that there's nothing i regret
All the things that i learned
Well i'd like to think i earned it
No need to go and burn it down now

Life goes on
Nothing is new
Judge made it clear
I can't be near you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man
Just someone who knows he's in love
I made mistakes
Everyone does
Don't know why i did
I guess just because
No one gets through to me the way that you do
Now i know i'm in love
Baby it's a little much
To never touch you
When i know i'll never
Find another love like this
Life goes on
Nothing is new
Passing the days
Thinking 'bout you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man

They told me that i couldn't come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said i was doing things that never should be done
But i don't care about their rules
As if i cared 'bout the little minds
In the little heads of the herd
There's nothing you could dream
Would be more absurd
And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
I don't know what it is they're trying to do to me
Make me into some sick joke
But no one's laughing
And least of all not me
It's hard to laugh as you choke
Hollywood lies piled up to the sky
Floating your way soon
Hope you like the rotten stench of doom
And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
I don't know what it is they think i'm gonna try
They don't know what they need to fear
The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror
Everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

Saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me
The parents are sleeping soundly
The neighbors are dead as wood
I'm getting up and coming over
We gotta rock the neighborhood
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do
It's saturday morning
And this ain't the place for me
I'm giving you warning baby
We got a whole big fat world to see
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do
It's saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby

They used to think the swallows
Were living under water
All through the winter
When they were missing from the trees
They used to think the geese
Buried from the branches
Each gentle sunny spring
When they came back again
But the swallows and the geese
They have always heard
The ringing of the bells
That echoed through the earth
The monarch butterflies
In their cloud of orange wings
And all the colder eels
Swimming through the sea
They are following a path
To places never seen
They see the secret map
The moon draws on the sea
The butterflies and eels
They have always heard
The ringing of the bells
That echoed through the earth
But the airplanes over head
Hang heavy in the air
And all the shiny cars
They circle in despair
When might they cry?
Where you were ever
But they will never hear
The bells that ring tonight

Laying on the bathroom floor
Kitty licks my cheek once more
And I
I could try
But waking up is harder when you wanna die
Walter's on the telephone
Tell him I am not at home
'Cause I
Think that I
Am going to a place where I am always high
My name's Elizabeth

Hold me like a mother would Like I've always known somebody should, yeah, although tomorrow, it don't look that good Well, it just goes to show
Though people say we're an unlikely couple I'm seeing double of you
Ohhh,..
This is life And everything's all right Living living living living living living living life
Oh, hope for the hopelss I'm learning to cope with the emotion-less mediocracy Oh.
Day-to-day living
I cannot help but be restless When everything seems so tasteless
And all the colors seem to have faded away.
Ohhh,.. This is life
And everything's all right Living living living living living living living life
Hold me like a mother would Like I've always known somebody should, yeah. although tomorrow, it don't look that good Well, it just goes to show Though people say we're an unlikely couple Doris Day, and Mott the Hoople
Ohhh,..
This is life And everything's all right Living living living living living living living life

She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny any more
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
So I am knocking on the door again
I say, "Do you want to be alone?"
She says, "No I don't wanna be alone
But I think that you do
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
And I know she's right, I know how it would be
If I had my own way with the world
As I know it should be
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I've been shutting down the lights
And I don't know if I'll ever go back again
I'm drivin' straight into the night
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it

When you've tried most everything and nothing's taking you higher
When you've come to realise, you've been playing with fire
Hear me when I say to you, it's really down to your heart
It's the beginning of a new love in sight
You've got the way to make it all happen
Set it spinning turning roundabout
Create a new dimension
When we are winning we can stop and shout
Making love towards perfection
I've been all around the world and seen so many faces
Young and old a story told, filling in my spaces
Now without a trace of doubt, I feel it every hour
It's the beginning of a new love inside
Could be an ever opening flower
No hesitation when we're all about
To build a shining tower
No explanations, need to work it out
You know we've got the power
Parallel our sights
And we will find, that we, we need, to be, where we, belong
Parallel our heights
Display our rights and wrongs, and always, keep it STRONG
It's the beginning of a new love in sight
Could be an ever opening flower
No explanations, need to work it out
You know we've got the power
It's the beginning of a new love inside
You've got the way to make it all happen
Set it spinning turning roundabout
Create a new dimension
When we are winning we can stop and shout
Making love towards perfection

Have two eyes
But i cannot see
I have a heart
But i cannot feel anything
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
I got a mouth
But it doesn't say
The things i want it to say today
Anyway
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress
Still there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like i'm all alone
Most of the time actually
I am alone
That's alright
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'cause my soul is always
Climbing a ladder
Oh i know
Don't give up now
I'm almost there

dear ma you might find it hard to believe
but i think i've finally found a home
the weather's loveley there's so much to see
and people who know what i know

fitting in with the misfitts
living in the lost and found
and i will never be afraid
for lost souls don't know where they're bound

but some things are better off said
i've always found it so hard to adjust
i'd rather stay in bed
now i've got friends that do want me
and take me as i am
now i've got friends that do love me
i'm all right with them
fitting in with the misfitts
living in the lost and found
and i will never be afraid

are you and me gonna happen
are you and me gonna happen soon
the gods smiled hard down upon
the love that's shared
heaven's awaiting those who dare
are you and me gonna happen
are you and me gonna happen soon
a sweeter feeling i can't guess will ever be
a truer union i can't see
i don't know how much more i can take
i will run through th streets
i'll howl at the moon
if you and me can not be happening soon
are you and me gonna happen soon
are you and me gonna happen soon

I know i'm not too much of a bargain
And you know that's not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain't bad
Little kids go out to play
They're just happy it's another day
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I guess i could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good i've done
You're not sure
Well that's okay
'cause i am
And i'm not afraid
It's up to you and me
And who's to say

Not much of a man
But still i am a man
And you bring out something inside me
A perfect little diamond
A fragile little fire
You're everything good in the world
To me
I want to protect you
I want you to be safe and sound
At night in this world
Such a delicate girl needs someone
To look out for the wolves
I want to protect you
I say some stupid shit
Don't mean a word of it
You know i got a lot of love inside me
This world's an ugly place
For such a pretty face
They're comin' at you from all sides
But they gotta get through me
I want to protect you
I want you to be safe and sound
At night in this world
Such a delicate girl needs someone
To look out for the wolves
I want to protect you
Not many understand
But i'm your biggest fan
The savage fools cannot appreciate
The miracle of you
How could it be true
You're everything good in the world
I want to protect you
I want you to be safe and sound
At night in this world
Such a delicate girl needs someone
To look out for the wolves
I want to protect you
I want to protect you
Fellas, just look at her
(aw...)
We gotta keep an eye out on her behalf

Thats the bell, and I'm gonna be late
Like I really give a shit
Dont expect me to relate when you're
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Thirteen
?? going to so good
Gonna take them there too
No one else can understand when you're
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Thirteen
The school shrink says I gotta calm down
And learn to look the other way
He says I'm lost, but I'm gonna be found, he said
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than a cow
Thirteen
That's the bell, I'm gonna be late
Remember when I was a baby
And I was happy just to breathe, I was
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than a cow

And we'll try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what silence looks like

At the dark end of the street
That's where we'd always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know that time's gonna take it's toll
We've got to give back all the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away, to the dark end of the street
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
Oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
And if by chance we walk downtown
If you should see me just walk on by
But darling, please don't cry

Lilac blowin' through the warm summer air
Hint of your perfume, the smell of your hair
Sun is settin' and the crows all cry
Electrical storm formin' in the sky
Got a hurt inside that I just gotta heal
All I can do is feel, feel, feel
Day is dyin' and the night is born
Baby, don't leave me so lovelorn
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
The blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad, girl, I want it bad
Birds do it, bees do it, I wanna do it
The only thing we need to do is get down to it
Please hear my plea, know it comes from the heart
Baby, you and me got somethin' to start
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad, girl, I want it bad
Why won't you hear me?
I'm a desperate man
Darlin', don't fear me, just say we can
Lilac blowin' in the warm summer breeze
Floatin' so soft with the cries in the trees
Sun is settin' and the day is dead
How can I get it through your pretty little head?
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad, girl, I want it bad
Girl, I want it bad
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad, girl, I want it bad

The longing is a pain
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
And my day becomes a quest
To try not to think about here
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things
Surely there are other things to life
But I can't think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Her smile
Her touch
Her smell
Her laugh
The longing is a friend
A way to stay close
And feel like she's here
And feel like she knows
That when I say I would die for her
It's not just words
I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could
Surely there are other things to life
But I can't think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her
Her tears
Her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts

I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble
Buried alive beneath my life's rubble
I'll tell you what's really makin' me sad
Your disinterest is drivin' me mad
You're so fine
If you were mine I'd love you up
Give me a sign, my darlin'
Well, I can shine if you'd just let me now
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
I'm so tired of feelin' I could be more
I need a purpose, what am I for?
What I'd like, after close inspection
Is for you to look in my direction
You're so fine
If you were mine I'd love you up
Give me a sign, my darlin'
Well, I can shine if you'd just give it up
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
I'm so bored I'd welcome a disaster
Anythin' to make the heart beat faster
But I got a feelin' we could be so right
Make my day, I'll make your night
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do

Nobody listens to the whisperin fool
Now you're listen
Didn't think so
I been quiet as church ass mouse
Tip toe
Everywhere I go
I had enough for being complacent
I had enough for feedin' the mouse
I no longer gonna keep my mouth shut
Bombs away
To the safer house
Bombs away
I will be hurt
You better listen
Cause you just might learn
Bombs away
Shut
Hallow the shout
If you not ready
Than you better get out
Cat run away
You better hope it's a good day
You don't know who I am
If it's about cave
And the hit away
Bombs away
I will be hurt
And where opinions go
The way it turn
Bombs away
Ship
Hallow shout
If you not ready
Than you better get out
Nobody listens to the whisperin fool
You not listen
Didn't think so
I been quiet as church ass mouse
Tip toe
Everywhere I go
I had enough for being complacent
I had enough for feedin' the mouse
I no longer gonna keep my mouth shut
Bombs away
Gonna shake the house
Baby think you're better
Watch your back
Master piece of hall
About to feel this jack
Taught my bark to lit the dog
Get up
Bombs away
Take cover
Nothing gonna fall
Ooooooh...
Nobody listens to the whisperin fool
Are you listen?
I know that you are
I been quiet as church ass mouse
Tip toe
Everywhere I go
I had enough for being complacent
I had enough for feedin' the mouse
I no longer gonna keep my mouth shut
Bombs away
Gonna rattle the house
Bombs away
I will be hurt
You better listen
Cause you just might learn
Bombs away
Shut
Hallow the shout
And if you not ready
Than you better get out

Ford it again missing in the crowd,
a friendly voice, calling clear and loud
my big mistake, thinking that I knew,
how to get bye, independent on you
The imatures, they have the chance
quick to forget who brought em to the dance
loyalty is pair amount to me,
it's dirty clear we make a winning team
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right
Stay confident, do when I'm okay,
with anything you may do or you may say,
we're always in, quite good company
if I'm with you and you know you out with me
It's me and you, taking all now our comers,
watching it fall and nothing could be funner,
the challenges, only make us stronger,
outlast among, forever maybe longer
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right
Battle stations, gotta made the guns now,
every way you look and now they try to take us down
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together
Honorable the only thing to do
you count on me 'cause I gotta count on you
I'm gonna repair everything I owe,
we just get ready, this is the real show
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together,
that's right we gotta stick together, that's right

You know what?
I'm in a good mood today
Well I'm so happy
It's not yesterday
Man it was brutal
With glad use of tissues
I guess you could say
That I had issues
But it's looking good
I've dug my way out
I'm changing up
What the story's about
When the world stops making sense
Just taking what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silhouettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet
Small thinking people
With their small thinking ways
I don't have time
To hear what they say
This is my world
I'm staking my claim
Thanks for the invite
No thanks just the same
It's looking good now
Full speed ahead
I'll live today
Like tomorrow I'm dead
When the world stops making sense
Just taking what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silohettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet
I see, everything
Is crystal clear
It's here
You know what?
I'm in a good mood today
I'm so happy
It's not yesterday
Man it was brutal
But it's all in the past
Good to know it don't have to last
When the world stops making sense
Just taking what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silohettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense

Eels up inside ya'
Findin' an entrance where they can
Eels up inside ya'
Findin' an entrance where they can
Boring through your mind,through your tummy, through your anus.
Eels!
Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels!Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels! Eels!
Give it up now!
Eels!
Eels, eels, give it up now!
Eels, eels, give it up now!
I was obselete
I couldn't hear the beat
Staggerin' about on me old man's feet!
I had one foot in the grave
But now I'm nu rave!
But now I'm nu rave!
It's a mash up!
Pie and mash up!
Elements of the past
And elements of the future
Comin atcha
I'm the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture!
Eels up inside ya'
Findin' an entrance where they can
Eels up inside ya'
Findin' an entrance where they can

She had the eyes of someone older
I have the eyes that wander 'round
I couldn't see what really mattered
Caught hell from my boss
Don't care about my job
Caught a cold from the rain
Don't care if i'm cold
Played every record that i own today
But the only thing i care about got away
She was a walking work of art
I am a broken wind-up toy
I thought i knew what really mattered
Got a flat on the road
Don't care about my car
Lost twenty-six bucks
Don't care about my rent
Caught every episode on tv today
But the only thing i care about got away
She had a brilliant future
I have a past
I have my memories

So whatch'ya gonna do about me
I've been hanging 'round a while
Trading books and knowing glances
I thought i'd stick around
But this really ain't my style
So this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But we are standing at the gate
I took a look inside your attic
And secret shelves and hidden rooms
It didn't scare me when i saw it
Your hidden attic is no temple of doom
And this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But we are standing at the gate
So whatch'ya gonna do 'bout me
Put me on a secret shelf
I wanna change myself around
You know i'd do it

My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather
She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean
My beloved monster is tough
If she wants she will disrobe you
But if you lay her down for a kiss
Her little heart it could explode
She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that's so damn
Mean
La la la la la la la la

Tomorrow i'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow i'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day
They're always looking at me funny
I'm always doing something wrong
I'm thinking they'd be better off
If i was gone
Tomorrow i'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow i'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day
They never tell me what they're thinking
They're always busy being mad
I start to thinking
Could it be 'cause I am bad
Oh i'll go
Where i can't hear them
Oh i'll go away
There's got to be someone who wants me
There's got to be someone who cares
Don't know where they are
But i am going there
Tomorrow i'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow i'll be nine

When i was born the doctor said
There's something wrong inside that baby head
When i was a boy at sunday school
I told them all that they were fools
All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
And so it goes
I went into the fortune teller's
She wouldn't read my horoscope
I go into the laundromat
The people all buy extra soap
All in a day's work
To live and breathe

Am i gonna be all right?
No i'm not gonna be all right
Nothing is all right now
Am i gonna see the sun come up?
Or am i going down?
'cause every day i'm here
All i feel is sheer
Agony
Friends tellin' me that maybe i need
Some psychiatric help
Yeah they're always so quick to tell you
Just how to get on with it
But i look into the mirror
And all i see is age, fear
And agony
If i could just remember what it was like
When i was younger
Before all the joy and happiness
Was replaced with hunger
Now all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow

Let's go down to the fashion show
With all the pretty people that you don't know
We'll sit down in the velvet chairs
They'll hand awards out for best hair
And if we don't win one, well, then
We'll blow off our heads in despair
We'll blow off our heads in despair
I smell magic in the room
Flashing lights and sonic booms
Lovely saps all without a care
Nobody said that the world was fair
And if they did say so, well, then
We'll blow off our heads in despair
We'll blow off our heads in despair
Let's go down to the fashion show
With all the pretty people and piles of blow
We'll sit down in the velvet chairs
And hang on tight to our bus fare
And if it falls between the seats
We'll blow off our heads in despair

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that i can believe
We had a window not open too long
But that time is good and gone
And if i ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies
Sit on the back porch and wonder 'bout her
What is she doing right now
Making somebody a happier man
Dying her hair back to brown
Once in a while your life gets so good
Worth all the trouble of the past
That was the case but i think i always knew
Good things don't ever last
And if i ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies
I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Know that i can trust her
We had our time but it didn't last too long
And that time is good and gone

You up there
Don't you think there's something you can do
Well no one ever told me it was gonna be this way
Me down here
Well look at all the things i try to do
Every day's another day
But nothing else is new
Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell
Well is it me
Or is it everyone that comes around
They always stay a little while
But they're gone before too long
Hey you up there
Looking down upon this sorry scene
Is it what it's all about
Or is this some bad dream
Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell
I've got a million dreams stuck in my head

Tarot cards
Said i'm already dead
Crystal ball
Fell down onto my head
Tenderness
If i want it i pay
My true love
Well she threw it away
But i can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed
Had some money
And a hole in my pocket
Had a house
But i forgot to lock it
Took a drag
From a smoke that may kill me
What a drag
How the winter wind chills me
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed
I'll shine it on just like macbeth
In the face of certain death
Of a salesman or a king
And when the palm trees are on fire
I'll take my boat out on the sea
Had a face
But i never could save it
Had a kid
But i never would name it
Have a life
Well that's what they call it
It's a road

We were on this car trip,
And I was looking at these rows and rows of trees all along the highway.
I don't know what kind of trees, apples or something.
There were just like thousands and thousands of rows of a thousand trees each.
And I picked one tree that I could see about eight trees back in this one row in the middle.
Just one in a billion.

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a morse code signal
Especially for me
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's coming through
One day i will be alright again
Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming
And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again
Blinking lights on the airplane wings

She used to love me
but it's over now
that was a good thing
that's gone man, gone
I pass the hours
just to get (?) by
Talk to the dog
so I know that I'm alive
I never thought that I should quit
all the stupid crazy shit that I do
In the name of keeping good things away
Some things you can fuck right up
Other things well you'd better not screw up
My problem is that I could not see
what was important right in front of me
I never thought that I should quit
all the stupid crazy shit that I do
In the name of keeping good things away
How much longer man for this earth
It's here today
But it's gone man, gone
The epitaph scratched upon my song
here lies a man that just wanted to be alone
She used to love me
but it's over now
that was a good thing
that's gone man, gone
I take small comfort in a dying world

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
Cry your guts out 'til you got no more?
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what this life is all about
Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But, hey man, now I'm really living
Do you know what it's like to care too much?
'Bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever sat down in the fresh cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass?
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what this life is all about
Now what would you say if I told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat?
Hey man, now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
Hey man, now I'm really living

I need a mother
I'm sorry but it's true
I need a lover
Not someone like you
I been your daddy for too long of a time
Need a little mothering just once in a while
I need a mother
I'm sorry but it's true
It's undercover, the way it's always been
I should have said something
But I didn't know where to begin
You've been taking everything I have to give
But I don't have no more
This ain't no way for me to live
I need a mother
I'm sorry, that's just how it is
I need a mother
It's really nothing new
A little help sometimes
That's just what you do
I been your daddy for too long of a time
Need a little help, you know
Just once in a while
I need a mother

In my younger days
This wouldn't have been so hard
I would've just shrugged it off
But now it's tough
I'm not so rough
I've got a little ways to go
It's not over yet, I know
But it feels
Not so far away
In my younger days
This still would've knocked me down
But I would've just bounced right back, you know
Now I'm a statistic
But I'm not fatalistic
I'm not yet resigned to fate
And I'm not gonna be ruled by hate
But it's strong
And it's filling up my days
In my younger days
I would've just chalked it up
As part of my ongoing education
But I've had enough
Been through some stuff
And I don't need any more misery
To teach me what I should be

Blinking lights on the airplane wings

Crazy guy with a matted beard
Standing on the corner
Shouting out "end times are near"
And nobody noticed him
But I can hear him loud and clear
She is gone now, and nowhere near
Seems like end times are here
I walk around a puddle in the street
And head on home
Outside my window there's a cat in heat
Shut up, cat, and leave me alone
There ain't no heat on round here
I don't feel nothing now
Not even fear
Now that end times are here
Now everyone's crazy, they've lost their minds
Just look at the world
It could all be over at any old time
And I can hear it loud and clear
The world is ending, and what do I care?

Ten pounds and a head of hair
Came into without a care
What they thought were cries
Were little laughs
Only looking forward and moving fast
The little bundle had arrived
And i was happy to be alive
In a magic world
Long days and dreaming nights
Wide eyes take in all the sights
A little wonder goes a long, long way
Learning where to go and what to say
Say hello to your new son
Well he sure is having fun
In a magic world
Every moment's built to last
When you're living without a past

Going to your funeral and feeling i could scream
Everything goes away
Driving down the highway through the perfect sunny dream
A perfect day for perfect pain
Look at all the people with the flowers in their hands
They put the flower on the box
That's holding all the sand that was
That was once
That was once
Honolulu hurricane
I knew that you were not insane
Living in the insane world
Smiling like it's no big deal
Scabby wounds that never heal
The woman was only a girl
Look at all the people with their heads down in their hands
When everything i'm feeling makes it hard to understand
That, uh,
What i need to miss
It's what i need to miss
Is you
Going to your funeral and i'm feeling like a fool
No one's gonna take the blame
Thinking about the days of hanging out behind the school

It's a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking 'bout the good times
Thinking 'bout the bad
And i won't ever be the same
It's a motherfucker
Getting through a sunday
Talking to the walls
Just me again
But i won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same
It's a motherfucker
How much i understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same

Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
I once had a heart
I was ripped from it
Chewed up then spat out
Like a cherry pit
And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I won't cry a tear
I will carry me
And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
Don't worry

Hello cruel world
So this is you
A broken heart
But with a view
I'm looking out to face another day
The angry mob
The happy mass
This birthday cake may be the last
I'm looking out to find another way
Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
I thought i heard an opera star
Who had no home under the stars
She sang and sang and sang the night away
And mother nature changed her name
She doesn't want to play the game
I don't believe she'll ever be the same
So big brother never came
Howdy doody gets the blame
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Bad and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Venus demilo grew an arm
And old macdonald bought the farm
Say goodbye

One day i'll have to fly
To the next great unknown
One day i'll be out of here
Back on my own
And when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore
You were the special one
Something we shared
The one that i'll miss the most
The one who cared
So when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore
There may not be a day
For a due reunion
There may not be a day
For us
One day you'll look and see
A purple sunset
And then you'll know that i'm okay
I'm doing my best
And when i come around for my goodbyes

I wanna see paris
Insane on the seine
I wanna do that bull run thing in spain
I wanna go to england
And walk down penny lane
Half a pint in ireland
May wash away my pain
I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville
I wanna meet a little girl
With french horn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I'll make her smile on the nile
Hold her hand in japan
But last thing's first
For all my plans
I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville
I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything
I swore i'd never be
When i get there
Then i'll go somewhere
I'm gonna pay my last respects
And get the hell out of there

She'd never known acceptance
She'd never known the word
She says "i like to call myself m
But my real name is mockingbird"
Mockingbird franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird franklin
I'm alot like you
She says her mother is gone now
She says it never got cured
I said, "i'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird?"
Mockingbird franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird franklin
I'm alot like you
Mockingbird
Don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird
You're not the same
Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'cause she's nothing like a mockingbird
Mockingbird franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird franklin

Oh she comes on like a fog
And then she goes out
Like a neurotic dog
So now i'm sitting here
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on
Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again
So she bought a little book
And filled it up with names
She never shook
So i'm just one of them
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on
Find me a sky high cliff
Just let me try
To jump right off

And every time you crave for me i'm, here
And anything you hunger for i'll share
And i will be quietly standing by
While slowly i am dying inside
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like i am a child in love
Every time i talk to you you're down
And every time you need a laugh i'm around
And when you forget i'm here i'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like i am a child in love
Whisper now
And tell me how you'll watch me

are you one of the beautiful people
is my name on the list
wanna be of the beautiful people
wanna feel like i'm missed
hey you with the walkie talkie
i know my clothes are not right
i wish i had my own walkie talkie
that reached to god every night
everyone needs to be somebody
everyone needs to find someone who cares
but i don't know if you know what i mean
'cause i'm never on your list
are you one of the beautiful people
am i on the wrong track
sometimes it feels like i'm made of eggshell
and it feels like i'm gonna crack
everyone needs to be somebody
everyone needs to find someone who cares
but i don't know if you know what i mean
'cause i'm never on your list

turn the ugly light off god
wanna feel the night
everyday it shines down on me
don't you think that i see
don't you think that i see what it's all about
hard to look the other way
while the world passes me by
and everyone is trying to bum me out
it's a pretty big world god
and i am awful small
everyday they rain down on me
flower in a hailstorm
flower in a hailstorm
i'm living for the drought
i could throw it back at them
but then i play their game
everyone is trying to bum me out
when i came into this world they slapped me
and everyday since then i'm slapped again
tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
you see, I know i'm gonna win
turn the ugly light off god
don't wanna see my face
everyday it will betray me
don't you think that i know
don't you think that i know what they're talking about
if they step on me tonight
they're gonna pay someday
everyone is trying to bum me out

You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others
And that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Some people think, you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others
But that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Yeah, that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Too good for this world
But I hope you will stay
And I'll be here to see that you don't fade away
You're such a beautiful freak
I bet you are flying inside
Dart down and then go for cover
And know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
You know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

I am building a shrine
Deep inside my heart
It's filled with all the little things
I'll take when I depart
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days
And all the love that never dies
Deep down in the cold ground
Such a sad place to be
But I'll be fine, with all them little things
That I'm taking with me
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days
And all the love that never dies
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days
And all the love that never dies
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days

Every time I find myself in this old bind
Watching the death of my hopes.
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
I'm not knocked out, but I'm not on the ropes.
I've got enough I left inside this tired heart
to win this world and walk on my feet, know the trip.
I may never get, everything I bet
but I'm a man who always copes
I'm hurting bad, and fight em at
I'm not knocked out, but I'm not on the ropes.
Everything that I hold me didn't mean,
'cause riding on this moment here and now, I know how
I've got enough I left inside this tired heart
to win this world and walk on my feet, no defeat
Gonna feel so good, when it's understood
but hold the rebirth of my hopes
In the ring so long gotta prove them wrong

Another morning in the evening
Times still on the floor
And I don't even know her name
Or if she lives here
Had enough but I want more
I don't remember how I got here
And how long it's been now
A day or two, maybe more
On the whole must [?] remains
Never wanted anyway
I always bit the hand that beat me
And they rode me off
It's easy not to care
Never trusted anyone
Don't see why I should now
Fade some blinking never fair
You're all gonna be sorry when I'll leave town
And get it together, for the turnaround
6 bucks in my pocket and these shoes on my feet
The first step is out the door and onto the street
6 bucks in my pocket and these shoes on my feet
The first step is out the door and onto the street
6 bucks in my pocket and these shoes on my feet
The first step is out the door and onto the street
6 bucks in my pocket and these shoes on my feet

She hides in the library reading
Henry miller books
'til they flash the lights it's time to go
When she was a little kid she said
"dad, i don't know why
I feel so penniless inside"
She's on the promenade
She's looking for a dress
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh i'll meet you there tonight
Shoot-out at the neighbor's house
She pulls the covers on her head
She's counting the shots as they go by
And pandora's litter box
Well it's gettin' mighty high
That cat's gonna keep her up at night
Another scary dream
Another cigarette
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand

It's really more than i can say
Looking at this tower
Angels are off duty and asleep
In these wee hours
And there's no place i can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and goes
It comes and it goes
There's really nothing you can stop
So i guess i'm gonna try
Climbing up this tower
Walking up the stones
Stocking feet
To the clock
This is one place that i know
And the face in front of me
It comes and goes
Not some lucky charm
But something to hold onto
That could hold onto me
And there's no place i can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and goes

Eight lives left
One chapter down
Still nothing new
In this old town
I'd like to spend at least
One life with you
Eight lives left
And a heart that wants
To be true
Five miles out
The depot is there
A greyhound is waiting
To take us somewhere
I'd like to spend at least
One life with you
Eight lives left
And a heart that wants

Walkin' along by the L.A. River
This river's such a joke and so am I
I don't know why I should believe her
I don't care what she says
I wanna die
I'd jump right in the drink
But there's no water
I'd jump right in and sink away from here
Poor river
Empty river
I'm feeling just like you
I'm feeling just like you
Walkin' along by the L.A. River
Stepping on broken glass, kicking cans
She's tellin' me I don't even know her
I guess there's some things I won't understand
I'd love to float away like old Tom Sawyer
I'd love to run away and be Huck Finn
Poor river
Empty river
I'm feeling just like you
Walkin' along by the L.A. River
Reading graffiti and throwing stones
She's looking for someone to deliver
She doesn't give a damn if I'm alone
I'd dive right in and drown
But there's no water
My head may hit the ground
But still I'm here
Poor river
L.A. River
I'm feeling just like you

I walked by your window
To see if you're home
The candle was burning
I could see you weren't alone
I shouldn't have gone by
But what could i do
I've never known anyone
Who was quite like you
Life ain't very easy when you've got
A permanent broken heart
I walk down the dirty street
And see the old man
But now he seems different
I think i understand
Well maybe he had a love
And swore it was true
But then he blew it away
Just like i lost you
Life ain't very easy when you've got
A permanent broken heart
I'm looking out my window
There's not much of a view
And my hat is still quite blue
Maybe i'll move away
To some other town
And maybe i'll find that thing

Don't know why
She thinks she loves him
Don't go cry
He's just a toy
She calls it only love
Her love it is not pure
She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet
And all that i can do is cry
Got no soul
Only a haircut
He's no man
Barely a boy
Why can't she understand
That i am her true love
She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet
He's made of flesh and blood
His footsteps make a heavy thud
His porch light's on
But no one's home
I'd love to make her mine
But i have to wonder why
She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet

Well i'll rise above
Once I forget
What it was like then
Before we met
I had no dreams
There was no plan
You see it's just that i was
A most unpleasant man
And now it all
Has come to pass
I guess i knew somehow
It couldn't last
And so i'm back
Where i began
And once again i've become
A most unpleasant man
Where will i go
If you're not there
I'll try to find you
Everywhere
Remember me
Not as i am
But how i was
As your truest friend
Remember me
Not as i am
How did i ever become
A most unpleasant man

Oh no
She's giving back my old raincoat
The one i said she could keep
Okay
She's taking back her umbrella
Well that's alright with me
Oh why
I feel like i'm a fighter
Who only wins despite
My broken bones
The winner stands alone
Every pocket has a hole
There is no hope
I'm walking around
In my old raincoat
Oh yeah
She's tearing up my old letters
She's setting fire to the heap
Oh joy
She says she's feeling much better
She says it's easy to sleep
Without me there
In the cool night air
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
And I am cold
Just walking around
In my old raincoat
Now i know i'm really free
Oh why
I feel like i'm a fighter
Who only wins despite
My broken bones
The winner stands alone
Every pocket has a hole
There is no hope
I've searched them all
Looking for a note
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
And i am cold
I'm walking around
In my old raincoat

Woman driving, man sleeping
With a suitcase on the rack
White lines shooting by
On the pavement like the sky
Looking straight ahead into the black
Woman driving, man sleeping
There's no radio to play
Sitting with the map
Laying crumpled on her lap
Looking for the toll money to pay
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walking and knocking on doors
Woman driving, man sleeping
Passing all the other cars
Searching in the black
But never turning to look back
A little metal box under the stars
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walking and knocking on doors

Never much of a hopeful man
Nothing good to say
But i couldn't help it
When i saw her
I had to know her
She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
And soon i know her a little more
She's everything i dreamed
But still i wonder
What it would be like
If she let me
She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
There must be something
That's following her
That keeps her from the stay
There must be something
That makes me want to pray
She says she's alright
But she's not sure
And i'm not sure what that means
She says she's alright
But she needs some help

I saw some photos of a happy family
Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
I paid the man and i brought them back home
I feel better now when they don't call
Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling
I truly regret
The day i wrote you off
Always dreamed that one day i'd leave home
And now i do it again and again
And here i go looking for my new home
Or shall i say looking for a best friend
Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling
I truly regret

In this world of shit
Baby you are it
A little light that shines all over
Must take over
And see us through the night
Daddy was a troubled genius
Mama was a real good egg
Why don't we just get together
For whatever
And see if it's alright
I spent so many days
Just staring at the haze
And i think that that's a book
That i don't have to write again
Now when i rise i shine
I've got you on my mind
And the question isn't if
The question is merely when
Baby, i confess
I am quite a mess
So let's get married and
Make some people
More than equal
In this world of shit
I will make a pledge
To get down off the ledge
You and i belong together
And forever we will have

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know
I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though i swore i never would
Now i can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So i though i'd better tell you
Before i leave
So in the end i'd like to say
That i'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what i had
I knew true love and i knew passion
And the difference between the two
And i had some regrets
But if i had to do it all again

I don`t see it in your eyes
Just a cold blank stare
And no one's asking why
Why you don`t seem to care
We've lost our way, lost our way
Maybe we've run out of time
driving ourselves out of our minds
Maybe we`re missing the signs
All of our dreams making us blind
Baby we're leaving behind
Nothing to see, nothing inside
We're out of our minds with nothing inside
We're out of our minds with nothing inside
We've lost our way, lost our way
Maybe we've run out of time
driving ourselves out of our minds
Baby we're leaving behind
Nothing to see, nothing inside
You're falling out of touch
and you're barely there
keeping up with the rush
just to go nowhere
we've lost our way, lost our way
Maybe we've run out of time
driving ourselves out of our minds
Maybe we're missing the signs
All of our dreams making us blind
Baby we're leaving behind
Nothing to see, nothing inside
We're out of our minds with nothing inside
We're out of our minds with nothing inside
Maybe we've run out of time
driving ourselves out of our minds
Baby we're leaving behind
Nothing to see, nothing inside

Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be
How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein' must have put you down
So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town
To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And girl, it's hard to find nice things on the poor side of town
I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up, baby
I just can't make it without you
So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side, they can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby, from the poor side of town
So tell me how much you love me?
Come near to me and say you need me now
Oh, with you by my side this world can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby, from the poor side of town
Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be

Its like im dressed up in my mothers clothing
its like im talking to a voice that doesnt exist
its like i got a wire crossed upstairs
but all i want is just a little truth and thats it
they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all
another anchor man is on the T.V.
he's got that far away and vacant look in his eyes
i turn the channel but nothings changing
the only truth is that everythings a lie
they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all
there's truth in everything
there's truth in lies
with all this knowledge
i think im gonna be wise
they say im mental but im just confused
thay say im mental but ive been abused
they say im mental cause im not amused my it all
not at all
not at all

there's a world outside
and i know 'cause i've heard talk
in my sweetest dream
i would go out for a walk
but i don't think i'm ready yet
i'm not feeling up to it now
just not that steady yet
and i don't need you telling me how
there's some happiness
and my stone face cracks again
maybe sometime sooner or later
but i don't think i'm ready yet
i'm not feeling up to it now
just not that steady yet
and i don't need you telling me how
so if i leave my room
don't you tell me to lighten up
maybe sometime sooner or later
but i don't think i'm ready yet
i'm not feeling up to it now
just not that steady yet
and i don't need you telling me how

I bought some rock star ashes
From the back of rolling stone
I guess he wouldn't mind it
They couldn't sell his soul
The tiger in my tank
Is going to go extinct
And i'm not feeling so good myself
I think i'm on the brink of disaster
I had a dream last night
The tv and the phone
Grew some legs and took a walk
And left me all alone
The tiger in my tank
Is going to go extinct
And i'm not feeling so good myself
I think i'm on the brink of disaster
When i grow up i'll be
An angry little whore
I'll give you all the finger

Mama grapped onto the milkman's hand
and then she finally gave birth
years go by still i don't know
who shall inherit this earth
and no one will know my name until it's on a stone
this could be your lucky day in hell
never know who it might be at your doorbell
this could be your lucky day in hell
waking up with an ugly face
winston churchhill in drag
looking for a new maternal embrace
another tired old gag
am i just a walking bag of chewed up dust and bones
this could be your lucky day in hell
never know who it might be at your doorbell
this could be your lucky day in hell
father theresa you can't make me into you
i never wanna be like you
why can't you see it's me
you know it's time to let me go
this could be your lucky day in hell
never know who it might be at your doorbell
this could be your lucky day in hell

Wake up the dying
Don't wake up the dead
Change what you're saying
Don't change what you said
Now that it's time that
I got out of bed
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Pink and brown babies in pink stroller cars
Know that it's good
They don't care where they are
They know that home doesn't feel very far
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Airplane is flying up in the sky
Making a pattern with the white lines
Looks like a heart

Take heart, my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are
Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is
Watching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't a place for
A boy and his friend
To go
I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies

Little field mice living under the house
Never eating much
Tough life for a mouse
And if you think you're gonna be spared
You're wrong
Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through
The day
Heat is rolling in like hell's red rug
Stinking like the breath of beelzebub
And if you think you won't walk on coals
You will
Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through

Life is hard and so am I
you better give me something
so I dont die
Novocaine for the soul
before I sputter out
Life is white and I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
are coming back
Oh my darling will you be here
before I sputter out
Guess who's living here
with the great undead
this paint by number's life is fucking with my head
once again
Life is good and I feel great
'cause mother says I was
a great mistake
Novovaine for the soul
you better give me something
to fill the hole
before I sputter out (repeat)

there's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
right on top of my right eye
and i can't stop staring back
how did i get this way
take a big look at a living lie
rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to riches was a bust
sometimes i dream about it
what it's like back home
the railroad tracks and the pussywillow
but i had to leave it
now i go back whenever my tired head hits the pillow
rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to riches was a bust
busted once again
well i'll show them one day
that i can buy and sell the world
and one day i'll come through my american dream
but it won't mean a fucking thing
rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to rags and rust to rust
don't let me go

spunky don't like her uniform
it never fit so good
going back to the orphanage
and the place where her garage once stood
well it's a free-for-all
free-for-all, free-for-all
it's a free-for-all you and me
and if you don't like what they are telling you
you can't teach a blind man to see
well i can see
spunky looks good in her bright red wig
eating chocolate chip mint ice cream
a cat named lola with a violent past
is balled-up asleep 'cross her knees
and it's a free-for-all
free-for-all, free-for-all
it's a free-for-all you and me
one day the world will be ready for you
and wonder how they didn't see
spunky knows she can save the world
in her own little way
turning in her old uniform
'cause you know it really didn't pay
'cause it's a free-for-all
free-for-all, free-for-all
it's a free-for-all you and me
i'll walk through the world with your name on my tongue
and your picture etched on my screen

Going over to susan's house, walking south down baxter
Street -nothing hiding behind this picket fence
There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles on the sidewalk
Where her house burnt down two years ago
People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy
Going over to susan's house
Going over to susan's house
She's gonna make it right
Down by the donut prince a fifteen year old boy lies on the
Sidewalk with a bullet in his forehead
In a final act of indignity the paramedics take off all his
Clothes for the whole world to see while they put him in
The bag
Meanwhile and old couple argues inside the queen bee
The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin
Going over to susan's house
Going over to susan's house
I can't be alone tonight
Take a left down echo park, a kid asks do i want some crack
T.v. Sets are spewing baywatch through the windows into
Black
Here comes a girl with long brown hair who can't be more
Than seventeen
She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl in
A pink carriage -and i'm thinking that must be her sister
That must be her sister, right?
They go into the 7-11and i keep walking

Strolling down the green path way
With my fellow invalids
Halloween party tonight
In the women's gym
Saturday night at the dance
I'd ask you if i? (sounds like "dance")
Men's ward wants me back
By ten,? (sounds like "not far")
Take down your half mask and i"ll
See who you are
At three o'clock this morning
Look through the glass
I'll blink the floor lights on and off

I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost There is one love I should never have crossed She was a girl in a million my friend I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser And I've lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown My tears have fallen like rain from the sky Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser And I've lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
(Harmonica & Guitar Solo)
What have I done to deserve such a fate I realise I have left it too late And so it's true pride come before a fall I'm telling you so that you don't lose all
I'm a loser And I've lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be

Blue light is flickering
Through the city streets
One billion tv sets
Glowing off concrete
One day closer to death
I know that i don't have too long
Whatever happened to soy bomb
Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats
But when he goes to bed
He wonders where he's at
Thrift store shirts and old haircuts
Living in an old sitcom
Whatever happened to soy bomb
The day is coming when you'll have to think of it
Was it really worth it
All that shit
Blue light is flickering
Through the cloudy sky
One billiob lonely hearts
Beat until they die
One day closer to death
I know i don't have too long

Well, the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down
The brotherhood of the misunderstood
Live and die here in all likelihood
You're livin' in this town
Better pray for sundown
And baby, when you go downtown
You keep your eyes down
You keep your eyes down
Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down
Go with the flow, well you've gotta be sick
Think i'd rather hear my heart not tick
But if you don't wanna wear a hospital gown
Better get out now
Or keep your eyes down
Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down
Well the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down

Remember last year when you were on your own
You swore the spirit couldn't be found
December rolled around and you were counting on it
To roll out
Well, everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Well everybody's lookin' for you down at the house
The tree is looking so inspired
There's a yuletide groove waitin' for you to move
I'll go and throw another log on the fire
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
As days go by the more we need friends
And the harder they are to find
If i could have a friend like you all my life
Well i guess i'd be doin' just fine
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this christmas

Thats the bell and I'm gonna be late
Like I really give a shit
Dont expect me to relate when your
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Thirteen
Gonna take them there too
Know one else can understand when your
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Thirteen
? says I gotta calm down
And learn to look the other way
He says I'm lost but I'm gonna be found, he said
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Thirteen
? and I don't relate
Remember when I was a baby
And I was happy just to breathe, I was
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
Holier than thou

Why don't you get me a way out of here
Buy me a ticket
A seat in the rear
'cause i'd say that daylight is time to go home
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me
Get out of here
I think that you know it's not so bad
Sitting in rust and taking a bath
But i think that i could find a new way
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me
Get out of here
Why don't you just think about it a while
Maybe i'm too much
Cramping your style
But now that it's daylight
It's time to come home
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me

It's a beautiful morning
The sky is black as ink
The city's sleeping still
And soon they'll wake up
To the stink
And soon they'll wake up
To the stink of life passing them by
Wake up and smell the stink of their lives
The garbage trucks are coming
To take your shit to the dump
You're smelling pretty now
Such a pretty little lump
A pretty little lump of flesh
Who's lost your way
Another night another day
And when you sleep at night
Dreaming of the pretty things
Don't be too surprised
When the telephone rings
I'll be sitting here
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
I'll be sitting here

I can't live in a world that you have left behind
Seen a lot, been through too much
But this is where i draw the line
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to
And i just wanna go with you
December is a lonely month
In a year of lonely days
It's hard to tell which way is up
Or down or out
Or through the haze
People cheat and people lie
While you just watch it all go by
Counting days until you die
The stars shine in the sky tonight
Like a path beyond the grave
When you wish upon that star
There's two of us you need to save
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know
I got a dog
I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though i swore i never would
Now i can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So i though i'd better tell you
Before i leave
So in the end i'd like to say
That i'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what i had
I knew true love and i knew passion
And the difference between the two
And i had some regrets
But if i had to do it all again

Miss o'malley didn't mean what she said
Got a heart but a head full of lead
She can dream but she never can do it
You're alright and you're gonna get through it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit
To lick your boots
Nothing harder to watch
Than an englishman
Trying to cry
Even if he can
He can dream but he never can do it
Saying you -- you're the one that blew it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit

There's nothing that i wanna do
More than get alone and be with you
Trouble with dreams is they don't come true
And when they do they can't catch up to you
You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams
I'm walking down a lonely road
Clear to me now but i was never told
Trouble with dreams is you never know
When to hold on and when to let go
If you let me down it's alright
At least that leaves something for me
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams
This is the life that i must lead now
Crossing fingers and wiping brow
Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend
Something with no beginning has an end
You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you

Dear cousin,
I got your letter
It was more than i thought i deserved
Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of
And i dream about so much it is absurd
But when i get there and she sees me
I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming
My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
I had a thought while i was sleeping
And i dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But i go too far i guess
Maybe i'll think about tomorrow
And maybe i can get her to stay that long
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well i decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch
And if she cares about the car i drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment i arrive
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love

A knock on the door means
Hello jesus calls
A ring on the phone means
A trip to niagara falls
Daddy don't let me down this time
I'm all alone inside my mind
And it's no small thing
That i must prove to you
A late night card game
With the guys is alright
But i would rather take you
For a test drive
Daddy don't let me down this time
I'm all alone inside my mind
And it's no small thing
That i must prove to you
While i look out
On the passing fields
The sun through the bugs
On the windshield
Makes me feel
Like i
Don't matter
A knock on the door means
Hello jesus calls
A ring on the phone means

You think you'll get under ol' monsieur's lid
And try to imagine all the things that he did
You don't know where i'm gonna go
You don't know where i'll go
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live
Wake up in the night and think of all the years
Falling from the ceiling and covering your ears
You don't know how you're gonna get out
You don't know how you'll get out
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live
Call up your best friend
And tell him a lie
You've got to be kidding
I'm not really high
I dont know where i'm gonna go
I don't know where i'll go
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life

The feeling of understanding is very rare
For someone like me it's hard to find
Somebody to care
She's got a way about her
Changes everything
She's got a way about her
She's my sweet li'l thing
Making love with her indie rock
Playing on her stereo
Holding hands going down the road
When she drives me home
She's got a magic about her
Makes me wanna sing
She's got a magic about her
She's my sweet li'l thing
Spent the day laying in her bed
My nose against hers
Later we went for a drive
Didn't know where we were
Man i never felt so alive
Nobody gets the girl
But baby i do
Nobody gets me either
But she sees through
She's got a glow around her
Shines on everything
She's got a glow around her

I've got your picture
And your black book
Smells like your perfume
On the walks that we took
And I love you
And you love me
But we're apart
'cause I read
The cheater's guide
To your heart
Hink of it this way
It was never meant
To be, I guess
But know, at the end
Of the day I felt blessed
And I love you
And you love me
But we're apart
'cause I read
The cheater's guide
To your heart
Well it may be long
Till you see me again
So paint me as a good one
My friend
And I love you
And you love me
But we're apart
'cause I read
The cheater's guide

If you're traveling to north country fair
Where the winds hits heavy on borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Hope you see her hairs hanging long
It flows and rolls all down her breast
Please see for me that if her hair is hanging long
Ohh that is the way I remember her best
If you go when the snowflakes fall
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
See for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hits heavy on the borderline
Remember me the one who loves that

I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won't listen to their words
'cause I like
birds
I don't care for walkin' downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, I like
birds
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's alright if you act like a turd
'cause I like
birds
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

The cut-rate mime walking through the dirty streets
Of paris in the hot august heat
Sun melting the fake smile away
Just looking for a place to stay
The actress gave up all her old dreams
And traded up now she is a queen
Royal families don't have time for that shit
Your crystal ball - you keep it hid
The tractor-trailer driver radios:
Help me someone i'm out here all alone
Truck driving the black night away
Praying for the light of day
The kid in the mall works at hawt dawg on a stick
His hat is a funny shape his heart is a brick
Taking your order he will look away
He doesn't have a thing to say
But me i'm feeling pretty good as of now
I'm not so sure when i got here or how
Sun melting the fake smile away

How does her world spin
Without me in her nest?
Could there really be such happiness?
Oh, she's got a dark side too
Even murderous
But i love that
Just like her
I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary
Yes i am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious
Oh, she's going to let me in
I just know it's so
Then again, who do i kid?
I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary
She could have anything she wants
So why not me?
She could have anything she dreams
Oh, to be one single page
One single page

In my heart of hearts I know it well
Been giving myself the soft sell
Anyone can see that i've been running away
Not facing the day that's here
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
The phone is off, the blinds are down
Me and my heart are out of town
The sign is hammered up
Do not disturb
Don't say another word to me
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
In my heart of hearts I know it well
I hit the ground hard when I fell
Not licking wounds but more like sewing them up
Man it was rough for me
But it's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you

Today is a lovely day to run
Start up the car with the sun
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen
Cross when the drawbridge light is green
Don't look back to that messed-up scene
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen
And all our troubles will be gone
Blowing out over that bridge
Floating up into the sky
Making the storm clouds cry
Put out that smoke and breathe some air
Get a new name and cut your hair
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up

The smokestack spitting black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the indian's eye
The elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The ringmaster's telecaster sings on an empty stage
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawling out her window 'cause her daddy
He just don't care
Come on
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger let me tell you gave us quite a scare
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
The kids flip their lids when their ids hear that crazy sound
My neighbor digs the flavor still he's moving to another town
And I don't believe he'll come back
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day
Well i don't know how you take in all the shit you see
No don't believe anyone and most of all
Don't believe me
Believe you
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day

Taking a walk down to the mall
Smelling piss and beer and gas
That could be me in a couple years
Suckin' fumes under the highway pass
On a rainy day
While i wear newspaper for pants
And a t-shirt that says
"damn i'm good"
People look funny when they cry
'cause they just can't let it hide
Typing into your little box
Press the cry button
It unlocks
On a rainy day
No one has a thing to say
Easier to look the other way
Take a look in the killer's eyes
And you see there's nothing there
But something is sacred in your eyes
And something to believe
On a rainy day
And as the world will blow to bits

If i lay my head down
I will see you in my dream
Wearing that polka dot dress
And sitting by the stream
Leaning in to hear you
You will whisper in my ear
And everything i need to know
I finally hear
I wish i could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me
When i was a baby
We would go out to the park
And sit out in the fountain
Splashing 'round until it's dark
The days go on forever
When you only know that much
And everything you need to know
Is answered with one touch
I wish i could remember
But my selective memory

All the little children playin' in the yard
A sunny day for them nothing's really hard
But they don't know what it's like to wear
Shoes so big that people stare
All the little children forget my name
They're all to busy playin' their stupid game
But they have no clue what it is
To be inside of todays showbiz
I am a sad clown
My smile is upside down
No amount of make-up can conceil
The pain in my heart that I feel
Laughing fools at what I say
But know inside there's hell to pay
I am a sad clown
My smile is upside down
All the little children forget my name

Sun comes up on the old neighborhood
Spray-painted bricks and dead firewood
Well i don't know where i'm gonna be next
I don't care where i'm gonna be
Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear
Some people like to call me chuck
It's charles and you are shit outta' luck
If you think you know what happens next
You think you know what happens
Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear
Sun goes down on the old neighborhood
Dark, damp the stop where i once stood
I don't know where the bus stops next
And i don't care where the bus stops
Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear
The sound of fear
I can't hear
