The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon When you're helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me" But promises open the door to be broken to me No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down now No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down now No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill She's to mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill The one that you're trusting suspiciously dusting the sill No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down now No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down now No i'm never, no i'm never, no i'm never gonna let you down |

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man And if you think that our dance was all in the hips Oh well, then do the twist If you think holding hands is all in the fingers Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and Make sure to never do it with the fingers Cause i'll tell everyone in the world But he was thinking about the girl Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh A lot of people get confused and they bruise Real easy when it comes to love They start putting on their shoes and walking out And singing "boy, i think i had enough" Just because she makes you feel wrong She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain turn it into a mole Just by playing a different role Ya, by playing a different role, oh The boat ya you know she's rockin' it And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it So what, somebody left you in a rut And wants to be the one who's in control But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder How the hell she can be so cold So now you're mad, denying the truth And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em Where do you think she goes Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it You recognize with your back in the back? That it's colder when she rocks the boat But it's the cause hittin on the cardinal laws? 'bout the proper place to hang her coat So to you, the truth is still hidden And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but You should know that the dark is one kitten? She's been singing it all along But you were hearin' a different song Ya you were hearin' a different song But you were hearin' a different song |

White moon, white moon
Breaks open the tomb Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote Creature come, creature, creature My own double feature As I'm warming the bleachers at home Well, my nose keeps on bleeding 'Cause it's rita I'm needing I better call out a meeting of the boys Of the boys My friends are all dying And death can't be lying It's the truth and it don't make a noise Oh Rita, oh Rita If you lived in MESITA I would move you with the beat of a drum And this picture is proof That although you're aloof You had the shiniest tooth 'neath the sun Easy come, easy go Be a star of the show I'm giving up all I know to get more To get more Photograph the picture Young grunt pin-up scripture For the locker-tagged memories of war A mirage, this garage And a photo montage And the finger massage from the host Good lord, good lord The one I ADORED And I cannot afford is a ghost Is a ghost Proto-social is the word And the word is the bird That flew through the herd in the snow In the snow Lemonade me, then grade me Then deliver my baby And if my friends all persuade me, I'll go Blink, blink at me Rita Don't you know I'm a bleeder? And I promised I wouldn't lead her on But she READ me, then led me And I ate what was fed me 'Til I purged every word in this song |

Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers Take a step back, take a look at one another You need to know the difference... Between a father and a lover (repeat) |

I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
And that was all that I needed Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share And that was all that I needed Well, then I felt at ease But then I'm not too hard to please I guess you couldn't call me greedy Then I was shocked to look up And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair And that was all that I needed And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men just to even see her" Take, take, take Take, take, take Take, take, take And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her And that was all that I needed I walked and loomed around her table for a while And that was all that I needed Then I said, "i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?" And that was all that I needed She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper And that was all that I needed Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth And that was all that I needed Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see That that was all that I needed I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture' So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor?" That was all that I needed She was kind and posed with me Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting Take, take, take Take, take, take Take, take, take She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep," And it seemed so mean It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being She said, "good night" and walked away And I didn't know what to say I just couldn't believe it Well, it's just not fair I want to get a piece of hair That was all that I needed Or maybe a kiss on the cheek I wouldn't wash it for a week That would be all that I needed But she didn't even care That I was even there What a horrible feeling |

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams Could ever make me out to be And it makes me want to scream When it's halloween And the kids are laughing The rogue is a bank he's never broke But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at Can you believe some things are not Appealing and there's a snot On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom And of these dreams that you can't imagine But none of them match the vision That you have decided for me You want to take away from me Things that are mine and it's not your right I'll bet you wouldn't expect a fight, oh Can it be that I don't want what you want? And the only thing I could care for Is a place in a home that is safe and warm Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm Safe and warm. Judge yourself if you feel the need Just let me alone to be In search of the truth myself There is a drop of blood on the ground And it seems to me that it's not my kind And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine I am as ugly as I seem Worse than all your dreams Could ever make me Could ever make me Could ever make me Could ever make me |

Well I miss my mother
And I miss being her son As crazy as I was I Guess I wasn't much of one Sometimes I miss her so much, I want to hop on the next jet And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet And I love my sister Lord knows how I've missed her She loves me And she knows I won't forget And sometimes I get jealous Of all her little pets And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet I roll over in bed Looking for someone to touch There's a girl that I know of But don't ask for much She's homely, and she's cranky And her hair's in a net And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet I get my friend when I need one I need someone to be one I take anybody I can get And sometimes I wanna call you And I feel like a pet And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet I go down to the river Filled with regret I go down and I wonder If there was any reason left I've just before my lungs could get wet I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet And I love my sister Lord knows how I've missed her She loves me And she knows I won't forget And sometimes I get jealous Of all her little pets And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet Yeah I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet |
