Paul De Lisle

Who is the man making a scene, fashion of green
Living it out and living it up to his name
Who wants some lovers gold, silver tone
Tipping it out it has claimed to fame

I'm a mystery man I'm doing what I can
With a continental international plan
So
Come on now, it's all now
This play is here to stay
Let me break you down, let me make you understand
Don't you know your history
I feel it, I mean it
This play is here to stay
You're a woman I'm your man, this ain't no mystery

Who is the guy looking back, coming back
Making it up so he goes and he knows
That she'll come around turn up frowned outside down
Breaking it up before it gets to world

The keeny causes the girl some danger
My teeny hangover
He ain't no stranger to London, Paris, New York and Japan
I'm bringing home the bacon in a frying pan
?????? Chinatown
If you're down then I'm your mystery man

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain′t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an ″L″ on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don′t stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn′t make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what′s wrong with takin the backstreets
You′ll never know if you don′t go
You′ll never shine if you don′t glow
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold
It′s a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You′re bundled up now, wait till you get olderBut the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin
The water′s gettin warm so you might as well swim
My world′s on fire, how about yours?
Cuz that′s the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well, the years start coming and they don′t stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn′t make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what′s wrong with takin the backstreets
You′ll never know if you don′t go
You′ll never shine if you don′t glow
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that gliWell, the years start coming and they don′t stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn′t make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what′s wrong with takin the backstreets
You′ll never know if you don′t go
You′ll never shine if you don′t glow
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold

I know she likes her magazines
And what they’re wearing down in Hollywood
I know she wants green tea ice cream
And just for fun melting in the sun
She likes her jokes as long as they’re bad
And I’ll laugh anyway

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it

She likes to take me out so I
Can watch her dance with her girlfriends
And the cool boys playin’ pool stop and stare
At the way she moves
Dancin’ Queen is blarin’
She likes to know that she will be driving me home
Because I’m too stoned

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She knows that she will always get away with it
...

She likes her primetime TV shows
With a secret crush on David Letterman
But she could never let her friends know
She’s pure punk rock at a ripe twenty-seven
I know these things
I’ve seen the presets on her car stereo

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She always gets her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She’ll get away with it

Beer Goggles


I don't love you but I want to
Just give me something that I cant hold on to
Come on baby and speed your lust to me
Here's my number on a cocktail napkin
Think about it like a loaded weapon
Cock the hammer and point that thing at me

Chorus:
Why don't you call(3x)
Kill me for the thrill of it all

I want someone anyone
Tall ones short ones skinny ones
I want someone anyone

You spend your nights at home crying
I spend mine death defying
I call it testing morality
So pull the goggles down over your eyes
Say good night to the rest of the barflies
I'm forever yours temporarily

Repeat Chorus

I want someone anyone
Drunk ones spun ones anyone
I want someone anyone

Fat ones whacked ones give me some
I want someone anyone
Spend some rent one lend me one
Fun ones dumb ones gypsy chicks on rocks
Done ones even chicks with chicken pox

I want someone anyone(4x)
Drunk ones spun ones give me some
I want someone anyone
Fat ones whacked ones anyone
I want someone anyone

Better Do It Right
from "Grinch" soundtrack

Momma tole me, Boy, you best behave,
'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his favs.
And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat.
But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot.

Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.

So he took me for a ride in 'is Cadillac,
Stolen from a cleptomaniac, at a horse-race track.
I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve'eople should be home in bed."
Instead, he said,
You merry gentle men always bet on red.

The Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.

When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
When all you wanted was a BB gun,
Santa Claus never did come.

{Interlude}

When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.

So he took me for a ride in 'is big ol' sleigh.
We flew around the world in just one day.
Johnny Mathis sang.

I said, Sir, what you got for me in that sled?
Instead, he said,
Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red.

Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
Johnny is singin',
(Johnny is singin',)
Remember tonight:
If you gotta do wrong,
You better do it RIGHT.

I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Yes it's true
Baby yes it's true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
YAAAAA
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishing that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby

Walking out of the door
I'm on my way
Can you tell me just where I'm going?
Occupational skills
Would you give me a clue
What to do cause my mind's in motion
Just trying to relax
I find myself on the couch with big plans
But there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me?
Or the way that I'm thinking?

CHORUS:
Come on, come on,
And tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on,
It must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on,
And tell me why's it taking so long
For you to recongnize and stop

Another day in the sun
I'm having fun
Feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky
A plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breath?
I take a look and I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me and I believe
My oh my

CHORUS

I took a trip to the bar
Does my money go far?
Can you tell me just how to spend it?
Moving around
I like the sound
I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal, she'd be in a dress
I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight
They're going to run me out of town

CHORUS

Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey I wanna play on the team that you despise
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I'm keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell
Chorus
Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on Right on Right on
Hey hey I wanna play for the team that you despise
Chorus

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow cryin'

Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

Watching for a sound to lead me to where ever you go
I can't help it I will always love you

[Chorus:]
It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)

I'm thinking of things that come to life
Your going through some things so shallow
there's nothing to fight

It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)

I'm a slave I'm anything
I haven't lost my way
I'm looking around in directions
'Cause all I ever thought about was you
Predicting puts me down on shaky ground
I keep thinking your looking at me
Do you want me around

It used to be no words could come between us
Any time was right for secret meetings
It's different now and when you speak
Every word means no (2x)

Flo


Your friends keep telling me
I bear a striking resemblance to someone you used to know
But baby's it's me
So why the hell do you keep calling me "Flo"
And I would hope
That you would have the decency to
Let me go
In case of an emergency

But you keep reassuring me
Telling me to just quit tripping on it
And maybe its me
I guess that I should probably get a grip on it
"But" its hard to do
Every time I see that tattoo
Over your heart
It ain't right I cant even look at you

Why you doing what you're doing
You should be doing what you want
Who the fuck you think you're fooling
She's the one you want

Florence if you hear this wont you
Come and take your girlfriend back
She's been calling out your name
Every time were in the sack
She's been a mess since you've been apart
So Flo if you had half a heart
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
..

Were been going for a while
But lately she's been somewhere else
She don't even smile
And I think its a cry for "help"
And I would pray
That you would have the common courtesy
To take her away
It aint right she don't belong to me

Why you doing what you're doing
You should be doing what you want
You're the only one your fooling
She's the one the one you want

Florence if you hear this wont you come and pick your
Girlfriend up
She's been talking in her sleep and I think I've had enough
She's been a wreck since you've been away
So Flo if you have something to say
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
Can you hear me

(It's getting better all the time)
I used to get mad at my school
(no, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
(no, I can't complain)
You're holding me down,
Turnin' around,
Feeling me up with your rules

I've got to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better all the time
(no, I can't complain)
I have to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better since you've been mine

Me used to be an angry young man,
Me hiding my head in the sand
You gave me the word,
I finally heard,
I'm doing the best that I can (yeah)

I've got to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better all the time
(no, I can't complain)
I have to admit, its getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time
(it's getting better all the time, better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time
(better, better, better)

I---I have to admit it's getting better, (better)
A little better all the time (No, I can't complain)
You're stressed, I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time

Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down

So gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail

And hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on

Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down

Holiday In My Head


Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

BRIDGE
I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hittin' the snooze so I can keep on dreamin'

INSTRUMENTAL

I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room

CHORUS
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more i gave, the less i got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When i needed sunshine, i got rain

Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now I'm a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind

Paint the town
Take a bow
Thank everybody
You're gonna do it again
Are are the few, the proud
You are the antibody
Mind soul, and zen

And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning come

Take your knocks
Shake them off
Duck everybody
You're gonna take them again
You are you foe
Your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian

And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling

And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody

It's just the way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes

It ain`t no joke I`d like to buy the world a toke
and teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
and teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
hey I know it`s just a song but it`s spice
for the recipe this is a love attack
I know it went out but it`s back
it`s just like any fad it retracts before impact
and just like fashion it`s a passion
for the with it and hip
if you got the goods they`ll come and buy it
just to stay in the clique
So don`t delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow,if your still alive,six to eight years to arrive
and if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
the offer`s shun,U might as well be walkin` on the sun
Twenty five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
of recession and opression and together they toked
and they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
just singin` and clapin` man what the hell happened
some were spell bound some were hell bound
some they fell down and some got back up and
fought against the melt down
and their kids are hippie chicks all hypocrites
because fashion is smashin` the true meaning of it
So don`t delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow,if your still alive,six to eight years to arrive
and if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
the offer`s shun,U might as well be walkin` on the sun
instrumental break
It ain`t no joke when mamma`s hankercheif is soaked
with the tears because her baby`s life has been revoked
the bond is broke up so choke up & focus on the closeup
Mr Wizard can`t perform no GOD like hocus pocus
so don`t sit back kick back
and watch the world get bushwacked
news at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack
put away the crack before the crack puts you away
U need to be there when Ur baby`s old enough to relate
So don`t delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your still alive,six to eight years to arrive
and if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
the offer`s shun, U might as well be walkin` on the sun
you might as well be walkin` on the sun
you might as well be walkin` on the sun
you might as well be walkin` on the sun
you might as well be walkin` on the sun

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to
waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to
waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I've tripped and I've fallen

It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up
Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit back kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at 10&
58;00 your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your babys old enough to relate

It ain`t no joke I`d like to buy the world a toke
and teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
and teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
hey I know it`s just a song but it`s spice
for the recipe this is a love attack
I know it went out but it`s back
it`s just like any fad it retracts before impact
and just like fashion it`s a passion
for the with it and hip
if you got the goods they`ll come and buy it
just to stay in the clique
So don`t delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow,if your still alive,six to eight years to arrive
and if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if
the offer`s shun,U might as well be walkin` on the sun
Twenty five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
of recession and opression and together they toked
and they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
just singin` and clapin` man what the hell happened
some were spell bound some were hell bound
some they fell down and some got back up and
fought against the melt down
and their kids are hippie chicks all hypocrites
because fashion is smashin` the true meaning of it
So don`t delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow,if your still alive,six to eight years to arrive
and if you follow there may be a tomorrow but if

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain′t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an ″L″ on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don′t stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn′t make sense not to live for fun,
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what′s wrong with takin the backstreets
You′ll never know if you don′t go
You′ll never shine if you don′t glow
Hey now, you′re an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you′re a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold
It′s a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You′re bundled up now, wait till you get olderBut the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin
The water′s gettin warm so you might as well swim
My world′s on fire, how about yours?

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more i gave, the less i got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When i needed sunshine, i got rain

Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now I'm a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind

(It's getting better all the time)
I used to get mad at my school
(no, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
(no, I can't complain)
You're holding me down,
Turnin' around,
Feeling me up with your rules

I've got to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better all the time
(no, I can't complain)
I have to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better since you've been mine

Me used to be an angry young man,
Me hiding my head in the sand
You gave me the word,
I finally heard,
I'm doing the best that I can (yeah)

I've got to admit, its getting better (better)
A little better all the time
(no, I can't complain)
I have to admit, its getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time
(it's getting better all the time, better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time
(better, better, better)

I---I have to admit it's getting better, (better)
A little better all the time (No, I can't complain)
You're stressed, I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time

Walking out of the door
I'm on my way
Can you tell me just where I'm going?
Occupational skills
Would you give me a clue
What to do cause my mind's in motion
Just trying to relax
I find myself on the couch with big plans
But there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me?
Or the way that I'm thinking?

CHORUS:
Come on, come on,
And tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on,
It must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on,
And tell me why's it taking so long
For you to recongnize and stop

Another day in the sun
I'm having fun
Feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky
A plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breath?
I take a look and I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me and I believe
My oh my

CHORUS

I took a trip to the bar
Does my money go far?
Can you tell me just how to spend it?
Moving around
I like the sound
I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal, she'd be in a dress
I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight
They're going to run me out of town

CHORUS

Why the hell are we waitin' in line?
A billion cars in front and behind
We're going the way of the dinosaur
They'll make petrol out of us next time
But everything would be alright
If this coffin I'm in was a kite
I'm heading on home to my TV set
I'm glad Sopranos are on Sunday night
Hey you in the car in front of me
I got a message for you, could you pass it on to
The guy sitting in the car in front of you
Ask him to pass it along too
If we all drive 25
We're getting nowhere
If we all drive 75
We'll get there faster
If we all drive 105
We'll get to heaven on time
Bumper-to-bumper grumps
All waiting to get over the hump
Then we realize what's on the other side
It's no wonder why we come undone
But I won't let it get me down
I'll take a look around
My windshield is a movie screen
And everybody's acting like a clown
And in the endzone we see a couch
With our TV dinner eyes
And if you see my window rolling down
I've got a chainsaw for a mouth to cut you down to size

I know she likes her magazines
And what they’re wearing down in Hollywood
I know she wants green tea ice cream
And just for fun melting in the sun
She likes her jokes as long as they’re bad
And I’ll laugh anyway

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it

She likes to take me out so I
Can watch her dance with her girlfriends
And the cool boys playin’ pool stop and stare
At the way she moves
Dancin’ Queen is blarin’
She likes to know that she will be driving me home
Because I’m too stoned

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She knows that she will always get away with it
...

She likes her primetime TV shows
With a secret crush on David Letterman
But she could never let her friends know
She’s pure punk rock at a ripe twenty-seven
I know these things
I’ve seen the presets on her car stereo

But I’ll never really know her
She told me all I really need to know
Is that she’ll always get her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She always gets her way
And she’ll always get away with it
She’ll get away with it

It’s 2003
Where do you wanna be
Back in ‘42 or 1970
And maybe we should take a good look around
I don’t get why the planet is so upset
Don’t do something you might regret
I’m telling you it’s starting to get in the way

Hey!
Lets have some fun while we’re still young
Turn up the sound ‘til your feet leave the ground
Yeah!
Let’s drive the car ‘til we’ve gone to far
Then we’ll pick up the pieces
And push it back home

Let’s start with libertys broken heart
N.Y.C. Could never be torn apart
It could be one world not three
Girlfriend kiss his very soul
And boyfriend tell her she’s beautiful
And family man say baby mamma its ok
...

Hey!
Let’s have some fun while we’re still young
Turn up the sound ‘til your feet leave the ground
Yeah!
Let’s drive the car ‘til we’ve gone to far
Then we’ll pick up the pieces
And push it back home
Then we’ll pick up the pieces
And push it back home
Yeah, we’ll push it back home
Let’s push it back home
Come on and push it back home

Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down

So gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail

And hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on

Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down

Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down

So gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail

And hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on

Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down

Met someone I knew before
The windowpane to the soul
They will never let you down
And we'd know
We've seen each other around

Doing the late night downtown crawl
Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all
It comes too quick and goes too fast
Does anything ever last at all?

We're just looking for a wall to crash into
And me I'd be happy just bumping into you

Here I am and there they go
And if you ask me how I know
The oldest story in the world
Then I hope someday you'll know

That they'll never die if you never grieve
Everybody's moving to a place they gotta leave
So kill your TV and kill your phone
Be quiet and be alone with you

When technology solves apologies I will retire
With records and candles and pencils and cameras
And your soul in my eyes...

We need a new planet
You were a rock but I took you for granite
Ain't that a shame, ain't it a sin?
We added too much baggage when our ship came in
Like a laser beam
You're never what I'm seeing
I ought to better my best behavior
I can't deny I lit the fire
But the twist of fate bridge was gonna burn anyway
Without you, it's no fun
It's like a total eclipse of the sun
Without you it's no wonder
It's like a total eclipse of the sun
It's just that time of the season
I'm getting tongue-tied facing my demons
But I'm free cuz I want you to be
But the twist of fate bridge was gonna burn anyway
We need a new planet
You were a peach but I told you to can it
You weren't the only pig in the pen
We added too much baggage when our ship came in

Walking on down to the seventh grade dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
No one's gonna talk to us, we'll look real silly
Staring at the gymnasium floor
I'll wrestle the beat
With my two left feet
They'll laugh and they'll stare
At what my mom made me wear
Tomorrow I'll wake up
Crying and smiling
It's just another day in the suburbs
Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine
Sometimes
Hitching a ride to the high school dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions
And we're so invisible to them
I feel like I'm in
Some John Hughes film
Like a dream we've all had
Where you can't run too fast
Tomorrow we'll wake up
Crying and smiling
Driving on up to the Hollywood party
I dunno what I'm going there for
There's too many fools and too many rules
And dress codes, and I'm one too many people there
They'll shake and they'll grin
Sharing 8 by 10's
They'll point and they'll laugh
At my photograph
Tomorrow they'll wake up
Crying and smiling...

you go around your tiny world again
Playing space man in your silver ship
You say you wanna come back down to Earth again
When you're down you find your mind and slip

There you go
Just like all the other times before
Space man, you're lost in space

Anti-gravitation keeps you high above
Like some comet speeding towards the sun
Communication's lost between the ones you love
It's impossible to think that something loves you more than us

It's like I told you before baby
And what more could I say that I know you should know
Three little words are thrown around so much
That after a while they begin to lose their touch
And you know that I should think of something better
Switch it around like I came up with something clever
Or maybe I should just shut up
Cuz I got nothing but a whole lotta love
Could you be lovelier?
For you I'd take off my shoes and my socks baby
And watch you laugh as I walk across burning rocks
But then I couldn't chase you everywhere you go
And it's all about the chase, everybody knows
I'd like to think that you would never make me do this
But you know I'd do it if I had to prove it
I'd do it again and again, you know I'd dummy up
Cuz I got nothing but a whole lotte love
Could you be lovelier?
Could I be luckier?
So why was I so dumb?
Maybe we're living on Mars
And Venus is too far
Now I got nothing but nothing to lose
Could you be lovelier? I don't know
But I've seen a lot of things and nothing measures up
They say that beauty never goes deeper than the skin
I know a certain girl they've never ever seen
And every time I see ya I just wanna get near ya
And I just wanna make it crystal clear
It's like I told you before, I got nothing for you
But a whole lotta love

Who is the man making a scene, fashion of green
Living it out and living it up to his name
Who wants some lovers gold, silver tone
Tipping it out it has claimed to fame

I'm a mystery man I'm doing what I can
With a continental international plan
So
Come on now, it's all now
This play is here to stay
Let me break you down, let me make you understand
Don't you know your history
I feel it, I mean it
This play is here to stay
You're a woman I'm your man, this ain't no mystery

Who is the guy looking back, coming back
Making it up so he goes and he knows
That she'll come around turn up frowned outside down
Breaking it up before it gets to world

The keeny causes the girl some danger
My teeny hangover
He ain't no stranger to London, Paris, New York and Japan
I'm bringing home the bacon in a frying pan
?????? Chinatown
If you're down then I'm your mystery man

Somebody once told me the world
is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest
tool in the shed
She was lookin kind a dumb
with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of
an L on her forehead
Well the years start coming
and they don't stop coming
Head to the rules
and I hit the groundrunning
Didn't make sense
not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart
but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with
takin the backstreets
You'll never know
if you don't go
You'll never shine
if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star
get your game on go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star
get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin'stars
break the mold
It's a cool place
and they say it getscolder
You're bundled up now
wait till you get older
But the media men
beg to differ
Judging by the hole
in the satellitepicture
The ice we skate
is gettin prettythin
The water's gettin warm
so you might as well swim
My world's on fire
how about yours
Cuz that's the way
I like it and I never get bored
Hey now you're an All Star

could I spare some
change for gas
I need to get myself
away from this place
I said yep whata concept
I could use a little fuel myself

use a little change

Government test climate best
If you're looking for no rest
And at midnight you can grab your keys
And slip into your bulletproof dress
Television comes to life
And it works the street tonight
Siren's the song and it's remixed long
Into the broad daylight
Sleeping with the only one you can't out run
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow i'm blinded

Chorus
Seein' only what i wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's gone

Well i'm just another creep
In that town that never sleeps


Met the one i adore at a liquor store
And she gave up counting sheep
And she explained to me
What "waitress" really means
That most ignore what she's waiting for
While earning an honest keep
She's acting out tinsel town's most-hated scene

Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow i'm blinded
Seein' only what i wanna see

Chorus
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth

Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field

Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where i'm at


Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field

Bridge
You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die

Instrumental

The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my @$$
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat

Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (say hello to my force field )

When your head is spinnin' 'round
When everything is upside down
You can look at things differently
Come and check my galaxy
You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
I'll be representin' clouds
But before you get too far out, baby
Before you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high

Ultra touch, sight, and sound
Your feet are safely on the ground (on?)
I'm starin' off into your space
You're only comin' through in waves right now but

I see you comin' my way now, baby


You know i'll be kickin' down
But before you get to far out, baby
You kow i'll be reelin' you homeward bound

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high

Instrumental

You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
And i'll be representin' clouds
But before we get too far out, baby
Don't you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high

Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head


Bridge
I got a job but i've got a problem
'cause i eat too much and i can't afford to solve it
When i'm savin' up for that cruise to the caymans
And i'm hittin' the snooze so i can keep on dreamin'

Instrumental

I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more i gave, the less i got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When i needed sunshine, i got rain

Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if i tried

Back in the day everything seemed to be OK
But OK is just OK
And just alright makes you think
What could be on the other side
Runnin' with the big dogs
Left those puppies on the porch
Scratchin' fleas is the least in the real world
If I knew then what I know now
Just alright would be OK somehow
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Could you keep it down

Had it made had it played itself out
In a sit-com style
So the landlord has his key in my door
I'll have amnesia for a while
I've seen ridiculous sunsets in a sickening sky
It made me feel really ill in a beautiful way
I've seen perfect people and I shield my eyes
I don't deserve to see their shame

Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Just keep it down now
I can't hear myself think
Who needs to think

Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool
Well we ain't so dumb, just numb
And tomorrow's another year
Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here
We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb

Chorus
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight

The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance

But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down

Chorus
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

We're on the move
The ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing
Locomoting to the groove
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois lane, mary jane, we may never get home
Arlene, annette, angelena
Making the scene it a green karman ghia

Chorus
Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, i threw her away and i crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
She turns me on

The style was wild like millionaires
My savoir-faire got everywhere
It was nothing but a thing if you're wondering
But now she isn't there

Suzie q, peggy sue, won't you tell me your name
Betty lou, make it two, if you really got game
April and june got the word now


May got play in a lei at the luau

Just kiss it goodbye on the fly

Now that she's gone, she turns me on on on on on

The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes i'd wear
But i don't care
You've got things to say
But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say
So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And i heard them say "don't be square"
So square we'll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say

In a dead man's car goin' to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say

I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers

Chorus
Sister psychic won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
We were there at the start we've got polaroids to prove it
Skateboards and scars and embarrassing home movies
But if you really wanna see where it's all goin'
Switch on your tv she's all tellin', all knowin'
She knows everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am i doin' what i'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster

Sister, why would i tell you my deepest, dark secrets
So you could take my diary and rip it all to pieces
Just $6.95 for the very fist minute
I think you've won the lottery that's my prediction
You know everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Well i go where they go
And i know who i wanna know
We are the "in set"
And they don't trip if you're hip
At the velvet rope off the strip
We are the "in set"
Call me cruel and unkind
But i'm cool and refined
Like a robot

Chorus
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Well the pond may be big
But it ain't deep if you dig
On the inset
Little fish swim away
I suggest you go and play
On the swing set

And i was a junkie way before it was cool
With that i'll leave you

Chorus
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

We're just drivin' this jalopy 'til it grinds to a halt
And that's our mission
A hollywood tradition

It's no secret
This is our big show

If you're not down with us

Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
Hey I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back.
It's just like any fad it retracts before impact
And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and hip
If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique
Chorus:
So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun
Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
Then some were spellbound some were hellbound
Some they fell down and some got back up and
Fought back 'gainst the melt down
And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it
Repeat Chorus
It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up
Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit back kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your babys old enough to relate
Repeat Chorus

I don't know why i'm with you
The only right thing i do is get along with you
And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me
It's true
I talked to you late last night
You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone i'm with you
Oohweooh

Chorus
But you weren't listening when i told you everything
That you need i ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

I play guitar all night long
And i know hundreds of songs and i'll just play them all
And even when i get home somehow you're still alone
It's true
I don't know why you're with me
The only reason i see some sort of fetish thing
Some people like to be pleased and
Some like to be teased
Which are you

I tried to warn you but you said just play dead


As long as we stay
True

Chorus
But you weren't listening when i told you everything
That you need i ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not

Instrumental (bells)

Bridge
Did your head not receive the shape of everything
That you are and i am
I shouldn't be happy as your man

You know that i am

I play guitar all night long
And i know hundreds of songs and i'll just play them all
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone i'm with you
As long as we stay true--whoowoowhoowoo whoowhoowhoo--

Chorus

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain′t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an ″L″ on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don′t stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Ah love was out to get me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Ah then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
Oh I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Yes I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said, I'm a believer
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Said I'm a believer yeah

Walking out of the door
I'm on my way
Can you tell me just where I'm going?
Occupational skills
Would you give me a clue
What to do cause my mind's in motion
Just trying to relax
I find myself on the couch with big plans
But there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me?
Or the way that I'm thinking?

CHORUS:
Come on, come on,
And tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on,
It must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on,
And tell me why's it taking so long
For you to recongnize and stop

Another day in the sun
I'm having fun
Feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky
A plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breath?
I take a look and I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me and I believe
My oh my

CHORUS

I took a trip to the bar
Does my money go far?
Can you tell me just how to spend it?
Moving around
I like the sound
I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal, she'd be in a dress
I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight
They're going to run me out of town

CHORUS

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

*You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow cryin'

* Repeat

Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

* Repeat

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'

She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

Yes it's true
Baby yes it's true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
YAAAAA
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishing that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby

Walking out of the door I'm on my way can you tell me just
where I'm going
Occupational skills would you give me a clue what to do cause
my minds in motion
Just trying to relax I find myself on the couch with big plans
but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me or the way that I'm thinking
Come on Come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on Come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on Come on and tell me why's it taking so long for you to
recognize and stop
Another day in the sun I'm having fun feel the heat sneaking
up on me
I take a look in the sky a plane goes by is that the reason
that I can't breathe
I take a look and I wonder why, why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe my oh my
Chorus
I took a trip to the bar does my money go far can you show me
just how to spend it
Moving around I like the sound I find myself looking pretty
stupid
If I had a gal she'd be in a dress I better slow my drinking
down
If I don't get it together tonight they're gonna run me out of
town

Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of whats on your mind
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve
And you've got it good as bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
All that knowledge all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the other try to take your spot
You wanna make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Would you do anything whatever it takes
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
It the instinct that's got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night
Chorus
It's what we are It's what we are It's what we are
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
Your honor your honor its not me
It's the invisible visible evil powers that be
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
Yeah you cry when your wounded and you laugh when they bleed

Repeat Chorus

Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey I wanna play on the team that you despise
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I펛 keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell

*Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on Right on Right on
Hey hey I wanna play for the team that you despise

REPEAT *

A long summers day stetching out the cold
Searching for the answers and some say I'm not alone
Could you tell me where I might find fallen horses their
spirits they fly
Blinded by the whiteness staring at the sun
I'm wishing that I had wings so that I could become one
Would you help me if I wanted to die I could ride off with
horses tonight
Tell me why
Why oh why
I said why
Why oh why
Now that I've arrived here I know I'm not alone
All my friends among me tell me welcome home
But could you tell me where I might find the one I'm looking
for cause her wings have arrived

Repeat Chorus

Well here I am at my front door
And oh what an odor is rising
It seems I've stood on this porch at lesser times
Now I've been down the road
You know the one you've dreamed about
And that's surprises you
And I'm sure you'll chalk it up to sell out crime
Home
What do you do when opportunity knocks
When success stalks and along comes fame
Do you open the door or watch in horror
Through the peep hole as they all go away
Lottery or poverty you're a commodity so what's it gonna be
I'm moving on I'm moving on
Home I'm going home I'm going home
Sitting in that same spot
There with the other lot whining
And you know this must be just a mirage
Ain't no doubt I ain't got the clout that's defined by you
But oil stains are all you're gonna find in my garage
Hey whatcha gonna do when the fun stops
When the boat rocks and the crew gets old
Make up your mind it's about time
Because at this time you're staying
Home

Repeat Chorus 2x

A planet on the go
It's O.K. watching the weeds grow
And if you listen really hard
The earth she hums when it's dark
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see
The aquaducts overflown
Watching the branches and dolls go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks when she's pale
Sleeping on the ceiling the flies don't fall
Dust bunnies found their way to a wall
And I don't even want to understand it all
I just wanna see

Repeat Chorus

Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see

Repeat Chorus

I just wanna see

Radio free fall
The cat walk to the show
All bets are on for those in the known
Oh no
There's a caterwaul in Hollywood
Who would have ever thought
All planets in line with the disco ball
Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
America give it a name
Call it a miracle
All bets are on for those on a roll
Oh no
Sold and bought straight San Jo
Who would have ever thought
We'd spoil the sport and be on top
Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking new kid in town
San Jo who would've ever thought
Hollywood get yourself sold and bought
Radio, radio video and don't forget the talking show
And never forget that you're good to go
Oh no
It's a cattle call
In fifteen minutes you're a Neanderthal
All planets in line with the disco ball

Repeat Chorus

Road man driving in the road van
He's got to beat the clock to the next town
Road man driving in the road van
I set up the sound system for the band
Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says no no no the show must go on
Road man driving like a mad man
Breaking land speed records in the van
Road man he don't mind police man
Leaving a trail of ripped up citations
Chorus
Road man heavy load
He's got to stop and smell the rose
Road man he says no go
I've got to be the king of the road
Road man didn't see the train man
Until it was too late to slow the van
Meanwhile the band is waiting for the Road man
Who was crushed by his beloved sound system
Chorus

I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It's pointed straight up towards the smog
I know I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning x-ray vision
As you roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating or maybe not 굖et
I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart
But you'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it as I watch your dust
You do it You do it for me that's how I know that you are mine
I send out to you
Frequencies exceeding the speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
The satellite that will orbit your mind until your down
That's how I know that's how I know
I'm the asteroid that will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know that's how I know
Speeding towards you burning out of control

Repeat Chorus

Leave me alone I'm over it
And everybody's movin' on
I can't see my tomorrow and yesterday has come and gone
So leave me alone
My mind is blown but it's my own
So deal with it
I'm feeling fine most the time
I may be on the outside but no ones getting in
So leave me alone
We're O.K. reelin' in the days
We're alright we're just getting high
Let us be it'll be all right
I got no strife I'm loving life
Could you say the same
You don't have to move to groove
So come on up and see me but leave that judge behind
'Cause I'm loving life

Repeat Chorus 2x

I'm gettin' stoned and what's wrong with that
The president seems to be just fine
Come on up and see me
Come on up just know that I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned I'm gettin' stoned I'm gettin' stoned

Repeat Chorus

Paint the town
Take a bow
Thank everybody
You're gonna do it again
Are are the few, the proud
You are the antibody
Mind soul, and zen

And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning come

Take your knocks
Shake them off
Duck everybody
You're gonna take them again
You are you foe
Your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian

And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
And when it comes it moves so slow
Kinda like it's saying I told you so
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt

And the world's a stage
And the world's faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody

It's just the way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I've tripped and I've fallen

You you look to the stars for answers
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought that there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
Who's there
Who's there
Fond of a night out in California
It's late an interruption in space
You smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses
Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons bumber stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder

Repeat Chorus

A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theatre doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous mens co-ordinance point at the moon
And the children gather and wonder

Repeat Chorus 2x

I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Yes it's true
Baby yes it's true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
YAAAAA
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishing that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby

I DON'T LOVE YOU BUT I WANT TO
JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT I CANT HOLD ON TO
COME ON BABY AND SPEED YOUR LUST TO ME
HERES MY NUMBER ON A COCKTAIL NAPKIN
THINK ABOUT IT LIKE A LOADED WEAPON
COCK THE HAMMER AND POINT THAT THING AT ME

CHORUS:
WHY DON'T YOU CALL(x3)
KILL ME FOR THE THRILL OF IT ALL

I WANT SOMEONE ANYONE
TALL ONES SHORT ONES SKINNY ONES
I WANT SOMEONE ANYONE

YOU SPEND YOUR NIGHTS AT HOME CRYING
I SPEND MINE DEATH DEFYING
I CALL IT TESTING MORALITY
SO PULL THE GOGGLES DOWN OVER YOUR EYES
SAY GOOD NIGHT TO THE REST OF THE BARFLIES
I'M FOREVER YOURS TEMPORARILY

CHORUS

I WANT SOMEONE ANYONE
DRUNK ONES SPUN ONES ANYONE
I WANT SOMEONE ANYONE

FAT ONES WHACKED ONES GIVE ME SOME
I WANT SOMEONE ANYONE
SPEND SOME RENT ONE LEND ME ONE
FUN ONES DUMB ONES GYPSY CHICKS ON ROCKS
DONE ONES EVEN CHICKS WITH CHICKEN POX

Today you sat up half asleep and stared
Into this cluttered empty apartment and died
What the where the how the why the hell
You can watch your step and still you'll never see the mines

Stay up man don't drown
Its time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

Every day I see you sinking low
Dragging around like it was the end of the world
She's gone she's gone she's gone man let it go
Cause in the end she didn't turn out to be much of a girl

Stay up man don't sink
Before you have time to blink
Your # 1 will walk through the door and want to play
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

Thought you had it so secure so sure
Looking at the map and didn't see the detour
d.I.v.o.r.c.e. or something of that sort
Disconnect the dots my man the ball's in your court
Get yourself a shave and put on your best hat
The world is your aquarium and you are the cat
So dive right in and don't forget to swim
You're back in the game again again

Stay up man don't drown
Its time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

YOUR FRIENDS KEEP TELLING ME
I BEAR A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO SOMEONE YOU USED TO KNOW
BUT BABY'S IT'S ME
SO WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME "FLO"
AND I WOULD HOPE
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE DECENCY TO
LET ME GO
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

BUT YOU KEEP REASSURING ME
TELLING ME TO JUST QUIT TRIPPING ON IT
AND MAYBE ITS ME
I GUESS THAT I SHOULD PROBABLY GET A GRIP ON IT
"BUT" ITS HARD TO DO
EVERY TIME I SEE THAT TATTOO
OVER YOUR HEART
IT AINT RIGHT I CANT EVEN LOOK AT YOU

WHY YOU DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING
YOU SHOULD BE DOING WHAT YOU WANT
WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING
SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT

FLORENCE IF YOU HEAR THIS WONT YOU
COME AND TAKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND BACK
SHE'S BEEN CALLING OUT YOUR NAME
EVERY TIME WERE IN THE SACK
SHE'S BEEN A MESS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN APART
SO FLO IF YOU HAD HALF A HEART
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR ME
CAN YOU HEAR ME FLO
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR ME FLO

WERE BEEN GOING FOR A WHILE
BUT LATELY SHE'S BEEN SOMEWHERE ELSE
SHE DON'T EVEN SMILE
AND I THINK ITS A CRY FOR "HELP"
AND I WOULD PRAY
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE COMMON COURTESY
TO TAKE HER AWAY
IT AINT RIGHT SHE DON'T BELONG TO ME

WHY YOU DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING
YOU SHOULD BE DOING WHAT YOU WANT
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE YOUR FOOLING
SHE'S THE ONE THE ONE YOU WANT

FLORENCE IF YOU HEAR THIS WONT YOU COME AND PICK YOUR
GIRLFRIEND UP
SHE'S BEEN TALKING IN HER SLEEP AND I THINK I'VE HAD ENOUGH
SHE'S BEEN A WRECK SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
SO FLO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR ME FLO
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR ME FLO
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR ME FLO
FLORENCE CAN YOU HEAR
CAN YOU HEAR ME
