Matador sweeps the veil From the last young day of my life Malibu tides inhale Santa Ana Winds from behind Wade out into the water No more chances this year I've busied myself all summer My day for swimming is here Yes it's time Seaside revelations All those dreams and visions of mine Washed up like a vacation Lost as I wasted my time Looking through my dark glasses I see smiles on the faces of friends But time keeps pushing me on now And I'll ride this wave till the end Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Say goodbye to the weekend And the last of the summertime sun Driving off the end of a decade So many things to be done September and the trees are restless Windchimes blow in the dark Lying on the couch defenseless With blue clouds court and spark Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile
All above me the stars are bright And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing And down the block are the parking lights Of a hundred friends who I barely know and Don't know me Don't know me None of them know me And all through the party I want to leave (All alone with one true love) I could be happy if I could be (In the dark with one true love) And in the middle of everyone I still find myself with my thoughts alone And in the middle of all the noise Look around myself at the shining toys that I don't need I don't need I don't really need And all through the party I want to leave (All alone with one true love) All of the lights are shining on me (But all I want is one true love) In this world I can see Many billions waiting in the sun So I'd love to believe There'd be one of us for everyone One of us for everyone Enough to go around But that's not what I've found And all through the party I want to leave (All alone with one true love) All of the lights are shining on me (All I want is one true love) All of my life I've just wanted to be (All alone with one true love) Every day and night to be on my own with One true love With one true love With one true love With one true love With one true love
She's got it all worked out in her mind And you're part of the plan And you don't have the final word She's got a long head start on your brain And your heart is afraid And you don't get to say you're thinking Come on make it easy now Come on make it easy on us all Come on make it easy now or tears may fall She's got it all worked out I'm afraid And your time is arranged And it's strange but you're feeling fine She's got it all worked out I'm afraid And your life is arranged And it's strange but you're feeling fine
I feel the day is arriving soon When I can't stay around anymore They'll look in all the familiar rooms Until they feel the breeze through the door Then they can say it's the company that I keep So they never have to believe in the tears I weep I'm gonna surprise them all When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone I'm gonna surprise them all Because I've already moved along You can stay if you have to do It's got to be your own decision But someday I will be back for you And then you better not refuse me again Cos one more chance is all I'll promise to provide And circumstances choose for those who can't decide I'm gonna surprise them all When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone I'm gonna surprise them all Because I've already moved along Already moved along I'm gonna surprise them all When they look and I'm gone, gone, gone I'm gonna surprise them all Because I've already moved along Already moved along
Fascinating new thing You delight me And I know you're speaking of me Fascinating new thing Get beside me, I want you to love me I'm surprised that you've never been told before That you're lovely and you're perfect And that somebody wants you Fascinating new thing The scene-makin' Want a temporary savior Fascinating new thing Don't betray them By becoming familiar I'm surprised that you've never been told before That you're lovely and you're perfect And that somebody wants you I'm surprised that you've never been told before That you're priceless and you're precious Even when you are not new.

Fascinating new thing....
Saturday morning, alone and barely feelin' Sitting at home after rockin' and a-reelin' All night in a catfight with the only one who can make me cry Open the blind as the world is in rotation Shaking my mind like an Etch-A-Sketch erasin' Sun shine, you were bad I'm still mad, but I can't remember why
I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind
Rolling along to the song that aggravates us Beckoned down by the mirage of an oasis Hurry, I'm getting blurry And it's no longer clear in my mind
I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind I believe I've got you down You react like ain't nobody else around Are you sorry that we wasted our time Never you mind
Some days, it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out Some days, it takes all my energy just to forget about All the memories that I'd be better off without I believe you know me well
Switch on the box, Mr. Spock is on the table Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain Sweatin' and strainin' Well it seemed so simple at the time
Got your tape and it changed my mind Heard your voice in between the lines Come around from another time Where nobody ever goes All alone on the overpass Wired and phoned to heart of glass Now I'm falling in love too fast With you or the songs you chose And all the stars Play for me Say the promise you long to keep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I've been living in your cassette It's the modern equivalent Singing up to a Capulet On a balcony in your mind In the City the lion sleeps Pray to Sony my soul to keep Were you ever so bright and sweet Did you ever look so nice And all the sounds Dream for me Dive me down in a soul so deep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
Made to last a while And roll on Made to move in style And move along Made to dream of flying So high Made to wake up crying I don't know why Beautiful one Asleep in the sun Secret, sweet & sublime I hope you last a long, long time
Made to come alone And pair up Flash like a rolling stone Seventy-one One time love affair With the earth Waiting on the air For some re-birth (For what it's worth) Wherever you are Nearby or far Black, white, lemon or lime I hope you last a long, long time
Saturday morning alone and barely feeling Sitting at home after rocking and areeling All night in a cat fight With the only one that can make me cry Open the blinds and the world is in rotation Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing Sunshine, you were bad, I'm Still mad but I can't remember why I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind Rolling along to the song that aggravates us Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis Hurry, I'm getting blurry And it's no longer clear in my mind I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind I believe I got you down You react like anybody else around Are you sorry that we wasted our time Never you mind Some days it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out Some days it takes all my energy just to forget about All the memories that I'd be better off without I believe you know me well Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain Sweatin and strainin Well it seemed so simple at the time I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind I believe I got you down You react like anybody else around Are you sorry that we wasted our time Never you mind

Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush And a Monday morning cry It's the tail that you keep chasing And it gets away every time New Years Eve and it's hard to believe Another Zodiac's gone around While you drank yourself high on hoping And watched the ceiling spin from the ground Counting down from ten it's time To make your annual prayer Secret Santa in the sky When will I get my share Then you tell yourself What you want to hear Cause you have to believe This will be my year Pound your fist and cross it off your list But you know you're not that strong When the man at the stop light catches you Singing along to a brand new song Well maybe it's Trash or the overnight smash that brings your Ship crashing through the wall So you can make your grand departure From a world getting way too small One wheel in the ditch another Spinning in the air Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not Getting anywhere Then you tell yourself What you want to hear Cause you have to believe This will be my year
All my life I've been looking for The perfect mate And when I finally found the one It was almost too late Underneath the auditorium She showed me why I would have waited all of my life For somebody like Sunshine and chocolate all over me In my mouth and on my tree Round my body under my hat Sunshine and chocolate just... like... that I was alone when I woke up And found the note It said you surely know how to fuck But I gotta go I hope you find someone to take care of And give yourself to And until I get to kiss you again I wish you Sunshine and chocolate every day In your work and in your play In your mouth and down your back I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that Sunshine and chocolate all over you Over everything you do On your body and in your mind Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine Now my eyes are open wide As I travel around Maybe some summer day I'll find Her face in the crowd singing... Sunshine and chocolate everyday In your work and in your play In your mouth and down your back I wish you, I wish you, I wish you that Sunshine and chocolate all over you Over everything you do On your body and in your mind Sunshine, chocolate, everything fine
California - Previous | Top | Next Driven through the canyons I was Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far Close enough to heaven if you Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star
I tried to get inside I bought a Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head I went out for a ride to go Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead
California I thought I should see Now I'm back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me
I was just a passenger a Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night A visitor a stranger thought I Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights
Tore my heart out from my chest Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul Chose the ones I loved the most Drove 'em all down to the coast Threw 'em in a big black hole
California I thought I should see Now I'm back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me California I dreamed I would find Some kinda sorta pick-me-up I got twelve little pieces of my mind
At night she spreads her wings She dreams of bigger things She floats above the town She sings without a sound She can be anywhere at all She can be anyone at all A glow and then a shine What she hopes she will find Tonight, tonight She's got a picture in her mind She can be anyone at all The night she changed her mind She left the world behind
Now the rain comes down the windows and it Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy He surveys his rental kingdom and he Wonders if he's really lost his one joy Another fool would go down to the Only place she ever went to lose herself She's gone to the movies now and she don't need your help Now the rain turns into snowfall as the City sky reflects the silver street below And it covers up the cars and the Wall- Flowers cd ended half an hour ago Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow And drive to find the show She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming home She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming home Now he looks around his place and anyways There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow Or he'll have to take the bus instead Any other fool would be out on the roadway Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming back She's gone to the movies now and she's not coming back
