So we were standing, like the last rock band on the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor Oh brown liquor Bug's got a job in the Catskills Met some fraulein along the way Took her home, but then she had an episode Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing So we were standing around, fading in and out of fashion While Amerikids dug Eurobeats Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses And there ain't nothing that you got that we don't need Did I say that right? Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Seven days when I've been waiting Seven days and seven nights Seven days when I've been dreaming Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing Of the real thing |

Gonna make you a star
And show the world your green, green eyes See your smiling face Everywhere, everyplace We could turn it upside down We could turn it inside out We'll give you everything Things that you'd never need, Things that you'd never dream Things like eternity Gonna make you a star Make you a star Make you a star Gonna make you a star You stare down at the emptiness You shake us from our poisonous Slumbering and stuttering So start and stop the fall Coarse masses down the hall Blow you through the door Into a million bits We'll reassemble it That's how we'll make a hit Gonna make you a star Make you a star Make you a star Make you a star Make you a star Star Star Star Star Star Star Star Star Star Star |

You come across the James River
For a needle and a spoon Would you come across the James River To be my woman again To be my woman again You come across the old lee bridge For a dollar fifty in change Would you come across the James River For this heart of gold For this heart of gold You go and work for Ms. Kitty For a decent rate of pay Would you come across the James (River) To be my woman again To be my woman again You keep a pistol in your left boot A brush and comb in your purse Would you come across the James (River) To be my woman again To be my woman again |

Well is it such a sin to linger with the magazines
I want a chocolate bar or maybe something sweet I want a stranger with your face So I followed her to this place It's been so long I've been around the world I say hello to howie Say hello to spike 'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight To watch the ripples fade away To feel the rain upon my head So I could say, I've been around the world And how I wish I was in your apartment tonight To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed To lie and listen to your breath Instead, I've been, I've been around the world And how I wish I was in your bed tonight To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck To feel your body press, pressing down on me Instead of being, I've been around the world Yeah I've been around, I've been around the world Yeah I've been around, I've been around the world |

Only when I laugh, does it hurt
The doctor says, please, son, remove your skirt I'd be glad to comply, but I'm not wearing one The doctor says, that's strange, nor am I A scotsman throws a pole into the air The alderman all vote in some affair The mayor, he abstained, and ain't that strange He's still a bachelor, perhaps he's gay A corpse is laid out neatly on a slab Professor's working madly in his lab The assistant files her nails and checks her hair There's just a hint of danger in the air There's just a hint of danger in the air No one is alarmed nor seems to care Everyone is happy, we're all fine We all fall in love all the time Yeah, we all fall in love or from a plane With the stewardess, she serves us in our dreams When we wake, we find that it has rained When it rains, it lulls us back to sleep So rest your weary eyes and go to sleep Or rest your weary head and come to me Move your lips and sing this lullabye Move your lips and sing this lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye Lullabye (Fade out) |

You're a wild one
Well I was once like you They couldn't tame you Kicked you out of the zoo Drank all of that soda pop Red candy on your chin I gave you something to slow you down Just sped you up instead You're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one Were you raised by wolves? Learned their dark secrets Under the light of the moon? That's when the bum matron comes To lock you in your chair So scream along at the top of your lungs Shout and shake your hair Cause you're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one A wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one You're a wild one |

Where are my God's green grasses?
Yellow blue fishes of the sea Where are you, my sweet darling? My sweet darling, I'll drown in misery And on the golden days of summer Robbed from Pharoah's ancient tombs And the silver hours, they are mashed and sour My sweet darling, where have you gone? Past the dead and awkward factory Anthracite grey on cobblestone And the sooted flowers, on gentleman's towers My sweet darling, where have you gone? |

Now I, I want out of the circus
Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress On one knee, I confessed Put an end to that exchange of glances Now I, I want out of the circus That old gang of dwarves Sometimes, they're downright feral When they, they've been around that old beer barrel The old lion's teeth Seems like a smile to me With some sweet relief I just stick my head in Now my tale, it's too ordinary For anyone to care at all Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning When he bears his scars, we all know When he bears his scars, he's a star |
