No matter what you do
I've got better chords than you
There is nothing left to prove while I'm alive
No matter what you say
I've got better chords to play
So just beg for my mercy
Apologize
But if you want something good to sing
You've come to the right place cause I'm the king
No matter what you've heard
I will use that major third
To make better chords
Better chords
Better, Better, Better,
Better, Better, Better,
Bettter chords than you

I was walking through the grocery store the other day
To ward off my starvation
Got a crackerjack, a coffee, and a milky way
And had this realization

Gotta go where there's someone for me
Gotta know how a real love can be
Don't want to be

Individually twisted like a pretzel
Feel the salt right on my wounds
Individually twisted
Like a python
With a knot I can't undo
Individually twisted
Twisted over you

So I called a couple friends to get some good advice
I knew that they could help me
Yeah they told me I was always just a little too nice
And that's why she condemned me

Gotta leave her and give it a try
Get me stoned on a natural high
Don't want to be

Individually twisted
Like a pretzel
Feel the salt right on my wounds
Individually twisted
Like a python
With a knot I can't undo
Individually Twisted
Twisted over you

Ooh woo ooh woo
Ooh woo ooh woo

Individually twisted
Like a pretzel
Feel the salt right on my wounds
Individually twisted
Like a python
With a knot I can't undo
Individually twisted, twisted
Twisted, twisted over you

Individually twisted over you
Individually twisted over you

Cut,Cut,Cut
I'm stuck at a red light
Just waiting to go
Somebody beside me
That I don't want to know
I step on the pedal
When it's finally green
Dosen't matter how fast I go
Cause she's in here with me
First time I thought it
And the next time I oughta
It's the last time I ever wanna go
Cut all the ties with you
Don't want to be nice to you
And after I've thrown it all away
Well I
Well I
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut,
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut all the ties
Cut all the ties
She knew it was over
As I pulled to the side
I gave her 'bout half my keys
Then I told her to drive
So I'm watching the tail lights
Like I've done it before
I smile the further they get
Till I can't see 'em no more
First time I thought it
And the next time I oughta
It's the last time I'm ever gonna go
Cut all the ties with you
Don't want to be nice to you
And after I've thrown it all away
Well I
Well I
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut,
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut all the ties
Cut all the ties
Solo
I'm back at the red light
Don't think I'm amused
When she knocks on my window
Looking new and improved
Says everything's different
Maybe try it again
Says she really misses
Showing me off to her friends
First time I thought it
And the next time I oughta
It's the last time I'm never gonna go
Cut all the ties with you
Don't want to be nice to you
And after I've thrown it all away
Well I
Cut all the ties with you
Don't want to be nice to you
And after I've thrown it all away
Well I
Well I
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut,
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut,
Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut all the ties
Cut all the ties

My baby lives on an alligator farm
Just a good time ain't doin' no harm
My baby works in the middle of the night
All of them crocs been treatin' her right

I ain't got nothin' to do after ten
Maybe go down and see her again, I gotta go

My baby's there in the middle of the room
All them crocs just watchin' her move
Yeah she's an expert training in the field
She'll never be some alligator meal

I ain't got nothin' to do after ten
Maybe go down and see her again, I gotta go

Hey, hey, call the band
I'm down here in gatorland
Hey, hey, call my friends
Meet me there after nine
Hey, hey, light the stage
I'll be havin' some gatorade tonight
All right

My baby lives in an alligator world
Doin' those things like no other girl
It's a dangerous place some callin' in a sin
But I don't mind it when she's lettin' me in

Hey, hey, call the band
I'm down here in gatorland
Hey, hey, call my friends
Meet me there after nine
Hey, hey, light the stage
I'll be having some gatorade tonight
All right

My baby lives on an alligator farm
Just a good time ain't doing no harm
Don't try tellin' me I should give her up
You come too close and my jaws snap shut

I don't want to tried and true
Don't want to go to no pettin' zoo
Around little dogs and birds and cats
Rather have love that might bite back
No, no, no, I don't want no senior prom
Just wanna be on an alligator farm
I gotta go
I gotta go
I know

Livin', lovin'
Never get enough in
Always workin'
For another change
I'm rollin', flowin'
Dollars I be owin'
Got no pennies to my lonely name
I see them looking down at me
High up in their money tree
Tellin' me to go where I came from
But attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome

Always feelin'
When my heart is bleedin'
I know someday
It will go away
I'm ready steady
But she don't comprehend me
It's all right because I got another flame
That's burning deep inside of me
If no one in the world agrees
I can make them see me one by one
Cause attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome

Goin', comin'
Never stop my runnin'
I don't wanna see another day
Where people keep on
Givin' all their freedom
Wont' try livin'
Cause they're so afraid
I see the ease in turning back
Turning down the thermostat
But that won't make a tale for my grandson
So attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome

Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome

Candle light and soul forever
A dream of me and you together
Say you believe it, say you believe it
Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer baby, get it on, get it on
Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
I need some love like i never needed love before
(wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now i'm back for more
(wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, its the only way to be
Verse 2:
Silly games that you were playing
Empty words we both were saying
Lets work it out girl, lets work it out girl
Any deal that we endeavor
Boys and girls go good together
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember baby
Get it on, get it on
Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
Be a little bit wiser baby
Put it on, put it on
Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1

Lancelot link
What do you think about life
Lancelot link
Mata hairi is your wife
You've been searching around for a clue
And now you don't know what to do
Lancelot, Lancelot
Lancelot, Lancelot link

I don't have any practiced pick-up lines
I just know when I saw you there
I thought maybe someday you'd be mine

I could blow you away
With my own confidence
But I don't know your name
So I'm asking your friend

Rosalinda told me your name
And smiled at the thought of you
Rosalinda told me you don't play games
But that wasn't all that Rosalinda told me 'bout you

So I gave you my number, hoped you'd call
Thought that maybe we'd get together
And spend time forgetting it all

Still I haven't heard back
But that won't stop me
Cause your friend Rosalinda
Had said you were free

Rosalinda told me your name
And smiled at the thought of you
Rosalinda told me you don't play games
But that wasn't all that Rosalinda told me 'bout you

Only a matter of time
'Till you see it's right
Only a matter of time
Like tomorrow night
Only a matter of time
I'm not worrying at all, oh no
You're gonna feel the same
As I do for you
Although it's looking like rain
I'm not feeling blue
Only a matter of time
Like the rain you're gonna fall

I don't have any better place to go
Doesn't make any difference 'cause
You're the one girl that I'd like to know

Yeah you blow me away
With your own confidence
And I'll thank Rosalinda
From now 'till the end

Rosalinda told me your name
And smiled at the thought of you
Rosalinda told me you don't play games
But that wasn't all that Rosalinda told me 'bout you

Rosalinda told me your name
And smiled at the thought of you
Rosalinda told me you don't play games
But that wasn't all that Rosalinda told me 'bout you
That told me 'bout you
I know it's true

When she was two
Mama told her what to do
Sit and behave
Don't make a sound now

When she was eight
She had found a different fate
Move in a thing
That's up and down now

When the clock had moved some more
She could open any door she pleased

She's a Koto girl
Playing eighteen string guitar
Been around
All the eastern world
She can't leave now, but her dreams still travel far

Now she is grown
Has a life all of her own
Plays all the time
Just to be seen now

I met her here
Drinking cold ASAHI beer
Or could have been
A grass of tsing tao

I walked up and asked her please
She replied hello in cantonese

She's a Koto Girl
Who knows what she wants to be
Been around
All the eastern world
But hopes someday for a life where she is free

Don't go away
I want to be with you
I tried to say
Come on, let's see it through
But she's got those
Stars in her eyes
Shanghai, goodbye

Signed a major record deal
Now she plays TV shows in high heels

She's a Koto girl
A dream come true superstar
Been around
All the eastern world
But Koto girl wants to climb the billboard charts

She's a Koto girl
Playing eighteen strings guitar
What a sound
Heard around the world this Koto girl (Koto girl)
Has got her strings wrapped around my heart

When the world has got me down
And there's no one else around
Closed my eyes and thought I saw you
Will you hear me when I call your name

Yesterday I would say
That I dreamed Victoria
Is she real, I don't feel
Like a dreamed Victoria

So I'm talking to myself
Wondering 'bout my mental health
But I'm feeling so much better
There's no way I can forget her name

Yesterday I would say
That I dreamed Victoria
Is she real, I don't feel
Like I dreamed Victoria

Now I'm wondering what to do
If I'm not imagining you
So I tried to see you closer
Asking everyone who knows your name

And they say, right away
That they dream Victoria
You are real, but I feel
Like I dreamed Victoria
I can't go back to where I was
Since I dreamed Victoria
The only reason is because
I have dreamed Victoria

When the world has got me down
I no longer hang around
Got a better place to go to

There are six billion people on this planet
But I'll only ever fall in love with two
One is a black and white photo of Grace Kelly
And the other you might like to know is you

There are six billion people on this planet
And you'd think in all this time I'd find some more
I've looked in both the city and the country
But you're the only one that my heart's beating for

Long before our mothers bore us
Mighty lion roamed the forest
When they left, we sure were sorry
Don't be sad, you don't gotta worry

Cause the last lions never give up
The last lions
Oh, the last lions never will stop
The last lions

You don't gotta be no monkey's uncle
To see you're still in the same old jungle
Same old city, same old pavement
And the cats are coming back to claim it

Cause the last lions never give up
The last lions
Oh, the last lions never will stop
The last lions
Yeah, the last lions never give up
The last lions
Oh, the last lions always will rock
The last lions

Solo

The last lions never give up
The last lions
Yeah, the last lions never will stop
The last lions
The last lions never give up
The last lions
Yeah, the last lions always will rock
The last lions
