Frank Black - Teenager of The Year (1994) by Frank Black (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well, it isn't so great
Since you learned karate chop-chop-chop-chop-chop
You're walkin' machs and I'm just
Swimmin' in the slop-slop-slop-slop-slop

You wave your wand at me and
Make me dance flip-flop-flip-flop-flip
I want to sing for you and
Make your head go pop-pop-pop-pop-pop

The Inuit man
Had not so much a caesar
He had provision

Say, you're sprayin' in the windy
And I'm just pissin' off-off-off-off-off
I'm literally deaf down here from
Your canned philosoph-soph-soph-soph

Softly, can you hear me?
Through the suckin' of your quaff-quaff-quaff-quaff quaff
I'm thalassocracy and you're just Romanov-ov-ov-ov

The Inuit man
Had not so much a caesar
He had provision

I took three days to drive down one street
The radio on, tuned to the big fleet
Invisible planes are cracking the concrete
That's just what some people say, hey hey

I put down my blanket on Cigarette Butt Beach
I saw the old man, he was doing OK
He's making his last stand on old bottles and cans
Round there, Calistan way, ooh

Used to be sixteen lanes
Used to be Nuevo Spain
Used to be Juan Wayne
Used to be Mexico
Used to be Navajo
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't know

Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
I play some pachinko I play Pachisi
And St. Anne is still making me breezy
In the valley of tar that once was L.A., hey hey

And my best friend he's the king of karaoke
He struck up a chord and he took it away
Out of the pan and into Japan
Round there, Calistan way, hey hey

Used to be sixteen lanes
Used to be Juan Wayne
Used to be Mexican
Used to be Espano Nuevo
Used to be Navajo
Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't know

The vanishing spies, just something I read
A couple of eyes from out of the head
And all that was said
Was that's just how some things don't materialize

Could be they broke and swan like a bird
Fear of spooking the folk with talk of the third
Or maybe the third played a joke

Give me a blip, oh
And I'll totally flip, oh yeah, yeah
Say it's nothing but sky
And I'll be a lonely guy

The vanishing spies, just something I read
Now there were two eyes sent out from the head
And all that was said
Was that is just how some things do not materialize

Give me one little blip, oh
And I'll totally flip, oh oh, yeah, yeah
Say it's nothing but sky
And I will be one lonely guy

Had a bit part, an endless reel
It always played in slo-mo
But now it's fast, a spinning wheel
I know the dynamo, my heart is cast

Speedy Marie, ahead of the now
She's better built that's how
She's built for speed
Speedy Marie, Speedy Marie

"Oh, yes indeed," I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
It's not enough, my liberty
There is a thing I want
I need, I love

Speedy Marie, ahead of the now
She's better built that's how
She's built for speed
Speedy Marie, Speedy Marie

Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
Everything that I ever saw
And my one delight
Nothing can strike me in such awe

Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks
Always it will soothe
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
Each lip and each eye

Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts
She is that most lovely art
Happy are my mind and my soul and my heart

This wrinkle in time, can't give it no credit
I thought about my space, and I really got me down (Got me down)
I got me so down, I got me a headache
My heart is crammed in my cranium, and it still knows how to pound

I was counting the rings
And I fell me into sleep
I peeked to see if you were way back when
I was counting the trees
Until a day when there was one
I'd hoped, beneath, asleep, is where that you had been

This wrinkle in time, can't give it no credit (Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down (Got me down)
I got me so down, I got me a headache (Headache)
My heart is crammed in my cranium, and it still knows how to pound

Well, I found you
Maybe you can help me
And I can help you

This wrinkle in time, can't give it no credit (Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down (Got me down)
I got me so down, I got me a headache (Headache)
My heart is crammed in my cranium, and it still knows how to pound (How to pound)

I got me so down, I got me a headache (Headache)
My heart is crammed in my cranium, and it still knows how to pound (How to pound)
This wrinkle in time, I can't give it no credit (Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down (Got me down)

You've got a sad face, you don't show it
And you're smiling it, too
Even in deep, deep outer space
There's something for you

I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am

The world is a rock that's spinning so fast
It'll give you jim-jams
I'm just a real love diplomat
Won't give no flim-flams

I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am

How many stars girl, can you both count
And then classify?
I'm standing here in this big swirl
Singing this lullaby

I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby
And rockin' I am
I'm Sir Rockaby

My name is Chip
And I'm different
I don't conform
I wear a different uniform

I'm out of the blue and so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that's clear
That nobody owns the pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear

They tried to give me advice
Down at the record shop
I said sit down boys
This may come as a shock
What's all I listen to
It's all freedom rock

How can you free me
How can you free me
How can you free me
How can you free me
When I am free? Wooh, wooh
I am free, ooh

My name is Chip
And I'm different
I don't conform
I wear a different uniform

I'm out of the blue and so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that's clear
That nobody owns the pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear

A lot of people love that Jerome
Did you know he missed his comb?
All his life was in pain
Made us laugh, he never did complain

Brother Sam was more than OK
Returned once more to save the day
Slicked-back hair he did keep
Making a heap, heap, heap, heap, heap

If all you see is violence
Then I make a plea in their defense
Don't you know they speak vaudevillian?
And for what it is hear what my theory is
Some gibberish it is so serious
What we need is more silly men

Though underrated all the time
Louis was so very fine
Without him, imagine
Did you know he could play the violin?

Most important was brother Moe
He was the one who made it so
He got a Joe and another Joe
He would not quit, he would not quit

And Mr. White heard bad report
And so it ends the two reeler short
'Cause you cannot do what you can't
And Mr. White heard bad report
And so it ends the two reeler short
'Cause you cannot do what you can't

If all you see is violence
Then I make a plea in their defense
Don't you know they speak vaudevillian?

Once stood a man on my face
Ooh yeah, on my face
Gobbled him up 'cause my taste
Leaves nothing to waste

Hear the riddle that I say
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me

Piano it marks the good pace
Ooh yeah, the good pace
Don't know if it's right, but I like the bass
So turn up the bass

Hear the fiddles as they play
Hear the fiddles as they play
What is fair is fair
And the guitar player

No metal, no brick, was no trace
Oh, no, was no trace
But machines moved on and still chased
No particular place

Hear the riddle that I say
Hear the riddle that I say
What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me

What is fair is fair
That is fair and square to me

Ooh, ooh

Staring on into night
Complete synapse
I switched on something I did not see

May I leave? I believe I might
This sweet collapse
Baby, I cannot get me free

When you've got your fazer eyes on me

Driving on into
Where I do not know
Shores that once were by the sea

I'm seeing something that is not there
It's so fast it's slow
And it's playing with my memory

And you've got your fazer eyes on me

Accustomed to the frequency of glow, oh yeah
You won't be frightened of the real thing after the show

See the scheming behemoth
Lickin' salts in their cave
Being together's their zenith
It's how they behave

Now we're hangin' in tandem
Six trillion miles a year
How can direction be random
When you're so near?

I could stay here forever
I could stay here forever
Never bored with this
All aboard, and
I could stay here forever

We've got some bills to pay
And when we pay them off
Maybe we'll get away, but
If not, so what?

I could stay here forever
I could stay here forever

(Behold the scheming behemoth
It's how they behave)

I could stay here forever
I could stay here forever
Never bored with this
All aboard, and
I could stay here forever

I could stay here forever
Never bored with this
All aboard, and
I could stay here forever

As fluorescents do
They blink o'er the floor
Of her majestic halls
Yeah, they do

I hear surf on kazoo
And I march with the militia of the mime
Malicious are the times
Malicious

In the doors we all flew
To see the great indoors
Of her majestic stalls
Yeah, we flew

Waves break on the shore of the zoo
And I see how Laurasia sure has changed
Imaginary planes
Imagine

I hit the mall on every friday
When it was biggest in the world
The hostess with the mostest

You heard the sun today
There she blows, there she blows
You saw the wind a'shining
You don't know, you don't know
You felt a tree that does fall
You don't know, that's OK
You don't have much taste for bouquet

I'm bored with the valleys and bored with the peaks
So I bought a ticket to the freaks
I saw a chicken with two heads
Saw something else that was headless
Then P.T. said, "See the egress."
'Cause you move when the salesman speaks

I superabound
But I still got nothing to do

A space is made by telephone
They thought time would be overthrown
And they compiled a wish list
From Mars duels to a dish kissed
I tried to talk to the ishist
But he was debating with his clone

I superabound
But I still got nothing to do
Well, they thought it was a coup
But they still got nothing to do

You must see my domicile
I had it built in decastyle
The other day at the potlatch
Come visiting was a sasquatch
He said although I'm a mismatch
Could I stay just for awhile?

'Cause the likes of us are few, yeah
And we still got nothing to do
I superabound
But I still got nothing to do

Have you heard about big red?
They even bought a beebread rig
To help the flowers in the mean space
They're trying to make that place green

Hope the bees will take away the storm
Hope the trees will take away the storm

Don't know how this whole thing started
There was a crowd and then we parted
Don't know if I'll ever go back
It's a long way across all of this black

Here I am in my bucket today
In the middle
Here I am in my bucket today
In the middle

They got a mule they call Sal
Bulldozing up canal walls
They're gonna tap that icecap too
When they do they're gonna make that green map blue

The weather is finally getting warm
And the weather is really getting warm

Don't know how this whole thing started
There was a cloud and then it parted
Don't know if I'll ever go back
That's how I felt when I left that tarmac

Here I am in my bucket today
In the middle
Here I am in my bucket today
In the middle

The islands of Phoenix
In 2016
Are making it up with hardihood

I'm done with adult matters
I'm doing the catapult
I've been meaning to get out of Hollywood

Space is gonna do me good, ooh
Space is gonna do me good

It's not you I don't like
No, the boy is the same
I'm taking the turnpike
There's no point in to blame, oh yeah

Space is gonna do me good, ooh
Space is gonna do me good

It's not you I don't like
No, the boy is the same
I'm taking the turnpike
There's no point in to blame, oh yeah

Words of the man Ray
If you want to stay tan
Better to do it with a toy or a game, oh yeah

You know, I hear a lot of talk
So I'm headin' for the stereo store
To get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten

Or maybe the interior
Of somewhere like Siberia
Yeah, the yak is back again

Black harvest moon over my head, yes it was
That billboard prose shinin' on me and it shines because
It's been so long since my Telstar
I hope it crashes in the sea

Or maybe the interior
Of somewhere like Siberia
Yakety-yak is back again

You know, I hear a lot of talk
So I'm headin' for the stereo store
To get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten

Black harvest moon over my head, yes it was
That billboard prose shinin' on me and it shines because
It's been so long since my Telstar
I hope it crashes in the sea

I want to ask you fellows
Why do you shut me out?
When I've driven every place that they call land

I talk plain talk
I've seen the moon sitting on the road
And I don't eat no Chateaubriand

And I drive my car under same stars
Where the miles are, come back I demand
Dear gentlemen, please let me in
I don't know how I can make you understand

I'm a pure denizen of the citizens band
I'm a pure denizen of the citizens band
I'm a pure denizen of the citizens band
I'm a pure denizen of the citizens band

Hey friend, you know what I'd do
If I was making the bucks
Well, I'd move me to a place
Where all they had was trucks

'Cause there's one thing that I can't stand
There's one thing that I cannot stand
One thing I cannot stand, can't stand
Cannot stand, can't stand

Bad wicked world
Bad wicked world
They are about dressed to deceive
Conquistadores that have been sent

Bad wicked world
Bad wicked world
Some sell him out, some won't believe
An architect named David Vincent

A man too long without sleep
He took a wrong turn and people just laughed
A ship that is not there, but he knows that it was
A made a light and a buzz
He's really hurtin' because
People don't care

And people think he's a creep
He won't stop, just keeps on talkin'
Just a tie and a suit, he's a low-life persuader
Fist-throwin' crusader
Against invaders
Won't be mute

Bad wicked world
Bad wicked world
Some sell him out, some won't believe
An architect named David Vincent

Bad wicked world
Bad wicked world
They are about, dressed to deceive
Conquistadores that have been sent

About once a week
Another story is leaked and he's on it
Just a suit and a tie, will it ever end
He hasn't got a friend
Pinkies that won't bend
He really must try

Bad wicked world
Bad wicked world
Some sell him out, some won't believe
Architect David Vincent

It takes photon power and eight minutes of an hour
To make it to our sun
And I know it sounds weird, but it'll take you four years
To make the next one

Expanding border
That's the sauce of chaos
And that's an order
That's an order

So stomp your feet and clap your hands
Get outta your seat and do a little dance
Lift up your voice and sing with glee
Now listen carefully to me

Desert your quarters
Behold the pie in the sky
And that's an order
That's an order

That's an order
That's an order
That's an order
That's an order
That's an order
That's an order
That's an order
