There's a man going around in this town selling lies.
He's the bad businessman And the mess he sells is bad And the mess he leaves is sad. He's a clown That's going to get bounced around If he don't keep his business underground. He's a player But every time he deals a round It's a bad hand What a bad man. Beware of what he sells. It's shooting you straight to hell. "Tain't no bottom in that wishing well. Bad businessman. |

Your mama never told you
how you were s'posed to treat a girl Your papa never told you now you're alone, out in the world Sirens are screaming inside the winding sheets are pale The devils are dreaming, dreaming of a blue angel Now I lay me down to sleep but troubled dreams are all I find I pray the Lord my soul to keep I pray so I won't lose my mind Streetlights come streaming on wings tonight I'll soon set sail The devils are dreaming, dreaming of a blue angel Your mama's gonna take it hard you always were your mama's boy You're lying in the graveyard now you're not your mama's joy Silence is screaming i'll bat an eye and cast my spell The devil's are dreaming, dreaming of a blue angel The devil's are dreaming, dreaming of a blue angel The devil's are dreaming, dreaming of a blue angel The devil's are dreaming. |

Your momma never told you
How you were 'sposed to treat a girl. Your poppa never told you and Now you're all alone out in the world. Sirens are screaming Inside the winding sheets are pale. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of the blue angel. Now I lay me down to sleep But troubled dreams are all I find. Pray the Lord my soul to keep Pray so I won't lose my mind. Streetlights come streaming On wings tonight, I'll soon set sail. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of a blue angel. Your momma's going to take it hard You always were your momma's boy. Your laying in the graveyard Now you're not your momma's joy. Silence is screaming I'll bat an eye and cast my spell. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of a blue angel. Devils are dreaming Dreaming of a blue angel. (3x's) |

When I was a lad, I was a little bit shy.
Something came along and caught my eye. When I heard the jazz band strike up, I swear, I had my mind made up. Now I'm getting older Everything is in full swing. Now I'm getting bolder Man, I've got to do that thing. I used to walk along with the rest Now I've got something all my own Now you've got a little something new. Broke away, somehow. That's why I'm swinging it I've got my own thing now! Children put away your toys All your little children's games. Let the jazz band make some noise Step up ladies and watch out boys. 'Mirror on the wall, who's the hot band in the hall?' Let everybody sing Get on out there and do your thing. |

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife Now you make the scene all day But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay In the afterlife You could be headed for the serious strife Now you make the scene all day But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay People listen attentively I mean about future calamity I used to think the idea was obsolete Until I heard the old man stamping his feet This is a place where eternally Fire is applied to the body Teeth are extruded and bones are ground And baked into cakes which are passed around In the afterlife You could be headed for the serious strife Now you make the scene all day But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement , job skill and brain But all the things you try to hide Will be revealed on the other side. In the afterlife You could be headed for the serious strife Now you make the scene all day (MEET THE FURNACE) But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay (yessisisisis it is HOT) Now the D and A and the M and the N and the A And the T and the I-O-N Lose your face Lose your name Then get fitted for a suit of flames.

All the time of finding ways to make things fall in line
I know how tricky things can be. But I really do believe that You are mine, and our stars are there before us. Listen here, some things are meant to be. Tried to take it slow Tried to lose control But I'll tell you what the trick is: What you get is what you had to give away. When I learned I found my eyes were open Long ago I had a dream that quickly faded Goes to show how tricky things can be But wouldn't you agree that Those who know whisper when they see us walking "There's a love that's always meant to be." |

Down in the country where I was born,
We'd go to church ev'ry Sunday mornin', Then in the evening the lights would fade, These are the words that my mama said: "Children I hope you sleep tight, And don't let the bedbugs bite, If you should die before you wake, Pray good God your soul will take." (Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.) Preacher would tell us that the lord was good, All us little children should knock on wood, Preacher would tell us 'bout the angels and saints, Grandfather taught us 'bout the spooks and [inaudable], He said: "(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)" Then I'd pull the covers up over my head, Stop thinkin' 'bout the things underneath the bed, Thunder and the lightnin' begin to boom, Somebody's knockin', but nobody's home. (Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)[x2] |

Mistreats me all the time He sez he loves me only Then turns around and leaves me sad and lonely If he could see through my eyes And be the one who cries He would see He would never be That low down man of mine That low down man with his low down ways I know he'll go some day It wont be long But from now on If he could see through my eyes And be the one who cries He would see He would never be That low down man of mine If he could see through my eyes And be the one who cries He would see He'd come back to me That low down man |

My drag
Its a weight on my back Im lost in a stack without my drag My blues Alone and confused Im spreading the news about my drag I could go right along singing songs of love That happiness brings If I stop for a while I could smile and be glad But that crazy feeling back bad My drag Its a hound on my track I just fell through the cracks into my drag |

All the birds up in the trees have got a different song to sing
And as birds learned now they've learned that swing They've been Pallin' with Al (me too) Down below at the candy shop, theyre still workin at that same old chore But the stuff heres sweeter than it was before You know why people, Pallin with Al Who's that man who's got that sentemental swing Plays that mess just like it doesn't mean a thing Gather round you all and watch him Watch him pluck those strings People, when he gets that right hand pumpin' All those kiddies got to start buck jumpin' Listen now and dont forget If you go for that solid jive You can always keep the dream alive Be bop a doo bop a bee ba doo way |

I was walking down the street
A stranger said to me Be careful what you do Then when waiting for a train I heard a strange refrain Id watch out if I were you, boy Is something going to happen soon Somethings going to happen soon I have a phone that dosent ring A line that dosent sting I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall But that dont pay the rent If you draw a bow draw the strongest Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest Altough I dont spook easily It has occured to me Transformation is in the air Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing Or has it always been there |

In a line at a cafe
I overheard a waitress say 'These cats is broke, I knows 'em Through 'em out the doors and close 'em' Still look saggy, for so low This occupation's got to go Up pulls the limo, up goes the thrill The suits are picking up the bill It's alright for them to tag along It's just one bill their tagging on I'll find some way to get along The business suits to the rescue So nice doing business with you Do we really hate the clock When we realize that 'Oh, their selling down for the deal' The suits are picking up, the suits are picking up the bill I cannot say from where I'm standing My friends have passed out on the landing Yes, one too many has left us high and dry I've been feeling down, since the suits got back in town |

Tonight I will dream
Far below the fading light My dream is for you My arms were made to hold you tight Now the time has come The time has come |

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track Not what I heard or saw on TV, But what I witnessed entirely Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track Once upon a time we thought we were free And had control over destiny We saw ourselves a competent band Able to reason, prosper and plan But we had a chamber in the moon Circumstance made us change our tune When the veil was torn from our face We became the monkeys riding the race MONKEY! You think you got the stuff it takes to break away! Boy youll be on the track every day Talent, vigor,drive Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life And these last things you can arrange Find other people equally strange Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line I said: Chris P. rides on a serious plan Hes going to finish as fast as he can The Escalator takes it personally And does not drive professionally Charming Enchantress and Bones can run Even if the winshield wipers are on I the Broadcaster avoid police But the Bat was led into custody |

Put a lid on it
What's that you say? Put a lid on it Oh man, no way Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right. Put a lid on it Don't hand me that Put a lid on it I'm all right, Jack Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight. Say, every time I turn it loose you cats Come down and cook my goose When I start I just can't stop But if you keep this up you're gonna blow your top! Put a lid on it Too late this time Put a lid on it I've got to get what's mine Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right. Well, grab your drink and clear a space I think it's time to torch this place Now the girl's in overdrive But some of your pals want to stay alive! I'll put a lid on it I'll put a lid down on it Save it for another night |
