See them on their big bright screen
Tan and blonde and seventeen Eating nonfood keeps them mean But they're young forever If they must grow up They marry dukes and earls I hate California girls They ain't broke, so they put on airs The faux folk sans derrieres They breathe coke and they have affairs With each passing rock star They come on like squares Then get off like squirrels I hate California girls Looking down their perfect noses At me and my kind Do they think we won't? Well, never mind Laughing through their perfect teeth At everyone I know Do they think we won't Get up and go? So I have planned my grand attacks I will stand behind their backs With my brand-new battle ax Then will they taste my wrath They will hear me say As the pavement whirls "I hate California girls" They will hear me say As the pavement whirls "I hate California girls" They will hear me say As the pavement whirls "I hate California girls" They will hear me say As the pavement whirls "I hate California girls" They will hear me say As the pavement whirls "I hate California girls" They will hear me say As the pavement whirls |

Well, courtesans shed no tears
When you leave them high and dry They just go on, they just go on To the next guy 'Cause courtesans only want Compensation for their time A few kind words, a few kind words They need not rhyme A sable coat, maybe a hat Oh, I wish I could be like that But courtesans are not like me They don't take love very hard Their hearts are free, their hearts are free How avant-garde If no one loves them when they're old They'll sit and count their chains of gold You say you'll love them till you die And they don't care if it's a lie 'Cause courtesans don't believe In anybody but themselves And Santa Claus, and Santa Claus And his twelve elves |

Long
and lonely nights, I've waited for you to put things to rights. Leaving you to do your thing without disturbance from me. Somehow I doubt you'll ever be back. I'll keep your things: if you ever need them, the phone still rings. And now that you're free of me at last, your time is your own: go have a blast and I'll dream alone without you; I'll dream alone if I must; because I guess our little castle in the sky just turned to dust. So I'll dream alone: that's showbiz. I'll dream alone from the end, and I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been: if only I'd known. I'll dream alone. Dreams we had a few But what kind of dream beats you black and blue? I wanted to scream, "don't go away", but nothing came out; all I could say was: I'll dream alone without you; I'll dream alone if I must; because I guess our little castle in the sky just turned to dust. So I'll dream alone: that's showbiz. I'll dream alone from the end, and I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been: if only I'd known. I'll dream alone. |

I want to be a playboy's bunny
I'd do whatever they asked me to. I'd meet people with lots of money, and men would love me like I loved you. I want to be a topless waitress, I want my mother to shed one tear. I'd throw away this old sedate dress slip into something a tad more shear. I want to be an artist's model An odalisque au naturel I should be good at spin the bottle While I've still got something left to sell I want to be a cobra dancer With little willie between my thighs I may not find a cure for cancer But I'll meet plenty of single guys. I'd like to be a brothel worker, I've always been treated like one. If I could be a backstreet lover, I'd make more money and have more fun. I want to be a dominatrix which isn't like me, but I can dream. Learn S&M and all those gay tricks and men will pay me to make them scream I want to be a porno starlet For that I'll wait till mom is dead I'd see my name in lights of scarlet And get to spend everyday in bed I want to be a tattooed lady, Dedicated as I am to art. Characters bold, complex, and shady Will write my memoirs across my heart |

Through every degradation and betrayal Past rhyme and reason and beyond the pale Darling, I will love you till the bitter end And all the bitter moments till then Through time and tomb and Tim and Tom Through pro and con and quid pro quo and qualm Through tidal wave and asteroid and bomb Darling, I will love you till the bitter end And all the bitter moments till then And when your charms begin to fade And when you feel old and afraid I'll scratch beneath your shoulder blade and whisper My love is deeper than I show Remember what I said through sleet and snow So even though I know you have to go Darling, I will love you till the bitter end And all the bitter moments till then |

Oh, sober, you're a cromagnon Shit faced, you're very clever Sober, you never should be Shit faced, now and forever I gotta get too drunk to dream 'Cause dreaming only makes me blue I gotta get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I gotta get too pissed to miss you Or I'll never get to sleep I gotta drink wine not to pine for you And God knows that ain't cheap I know you think I'm insane I know it's not appealing But till I'm feeling no pain Guess what I'll be feeling?

So why do I get plastered? And why am I so lonely?

I prayed hard for you in Haiti at night Your skin has turned blue and your hair has turned white Must be the voodoo of this Haitian moonlight We can't take day trips but oh, those moonlight strolls Dressed up in silk slips, high heels and mink stoles You swivel your hips as I work the controls No blood ever drips when I widen your holes Zombie boy, Zombie boy Zombie boy, Zombie boy You seem to have died of some form of the pox They left you inside, your tiny black box I heard when you cried and I answered your knocks Let's make you a bride with another two cocks You look pretty good for so long in the ground You smell like a sewer but you don't make a sound I feed you ordure to keep Poopsie spellbound I like to be sure you'll be sticking around Zombie boy, Zombie boy Zombie boy, Zombie boy Zombie boy, Zombie boy Zombie boy, Zombie boy |

But I don't believe you I don't believe you I had a dream and you were in it The blue of your eyes was infinite You seemed to be In love with me Which isn't very realistic You may sing me "They Were You" And I start crying halfway through But nothing else you say is true So I don't believe you I don't believe you You may set your charm on stun And say I'm delightful and fun But you say that to everyone Well, I don't believe you I don't believe you So you're brilliant gorgeous and Ampersand after ampersand You think I just don't understand But I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't believe you |

Just the bad comedian Your new boyfriend's better than 'Cos I don't really love you anymore. There'll be someday when your eyes do not enthrall me, I'll be numb but realize you'll never call me.

Till we had nothin' left to lose Nobody wants you when you're a circus clown I should know, I looked all over town I guess folks just don't like my face They make out like I'm some disgrace But nothin's gonna change this painted frown I know, know, I looked all over town Maybe somewhere I could be free Somewhere they won't throw rocks at me Somewhere this crazy hair could be my crown But all my life, I've looked all over town So whistling this circus tune I inflated one more balloon And as I floated up, I looked straight down And I looked all over town One last time, I looked all over town |

Being someone new Being torn Seeing someone who died, as you grew Growing older is killing a child Who laughed and smiled at anything Growing colder and less and less wild And learning to say I was young, then not so young Scary either way One more rung Down that black ladder every day One more floor down the elevator To oblivion, what fun But the singularly awful one Is being born |

Running 'round doing people in I wish I had a very bad And evil twin to do my will To cull and conquer, cut and kill Just like I would If I weren't good And if I knew where to begin Down and down we go How low no one would know Sometimes the good life wears thin I wish I had an evil twin My evil twin would lie and steal And he would stink of sex appeal All men would writhe, beneath his scythe He'd send the pretty ones to me And they would think that I was he I'd hurt them and I'd go scot free I'd get no blame and feel no shame 'Cause evil's not my cup of tea Down and down we go How low one would not need to know All my life there should have been An evil twin |

Now the clock is striking one
So we might as well begin it, As there's dancing to be done And our time is not infinite. If there's such a thing as love, If there's such a thing as love, I'm in it. So you claim you love me too, Lloyd's of London guarantee it. Gaze into these eyes of blue, You do love me I decree it. If there's such a thing as love, If there's such a thing as love, Give me it. When i was two and a half, My momma said to me: "Love is funny you will laugh 'Til the day you turn three." Like a kitten up a tree Needs a fireman to rescue it, So your fireman i will be And i'll really get into it. If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, Let's do it. I thought i'd known love before That was not it but I thought it So I thought i'd win the war Or I never would have fought it If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, I've caught it. if there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) if there's such a thing as love, I've caught it. If there's such a thing as love, (such a thing as love) If there's such a thing as love, Love caught it. |

Well it musn't be the chicken pox I've never met a chicken but whenever I get near you dear my heart starts to sicken In the 9th circle of this hell my heart is burning and unwell what demons like within it I'll die in one more minute Is this what they used to call love?

a hundred years from now? It's only time. It's only time. What could stop this beating heart once it's made a vow? It's only time. It's only time. If rain won't change your mind, let it fall. The rain won't change my heart at all. Lock this chain around my hand, throw away the key. It's only time. It's only time. Years falling like grains of sand mean nothing to me. It's only time. It's only time. If snow won't change your mind let it fall. The snow won't change my heart, not at all. (I'll walk your lands) I'll walk your lands (And swim your sea) And swim your sea Marry me. Marry me. (Then in your hands) Then in your hands (I will be free) I will be free Marry me. Marry me. Why would I stop loving you a hundred years from now? |

I have a mandolin
I play it all night long It makes me want to kill myself I also have a dobro Made in some mountain range Sounds like a mountain range in love But when I turn up the tone On my electric guitar I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me I went out to the forest and caught A hundred thousand fireflies As they ricochet round the room They remind me of your starry eyes Someone else's might not have made me so sad But this is the worst night I ever had 'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me You won't be happy with me, But give me one more chance You won't be happy anyway Why do we still live here In this repulsive town? All our friends are in New York Why do we keep shrieking, when we mean soft things? We should be whispering all the time... |

Where the workers stand in querulous rows awaiting dislocation
I will be there too When you're cashing in your food stamps When you're sleeping in a cattle train I'll be with you Pushing up against the ticket counter window face against the glass Bleeding from the waist and kissing to be chaste It is said that those who will not rest have been cursed To tramp like soldiers through the marshes Or that blessed are the ones who leave the stage Like babies falling fast asleep So I twice am cursed and twice am stuck Affixed to this corner of the earth. That old river keeps on rolling but the old man doesn't see it, He just stands there with his eyes closed Asking "where'd you go?" "where'd you go?" So wherever you may sleep tonight, Be it bed or bedrock, home, or open field: When you begin to yield, then, whatever you have taken as your pillow, May it serve as mine as well. Underneath the weeping willow I will wait for you forever, My eyes forever closed, asking "where'd you go?" "where'd you go?" |

Candy, it's been really nice, but I've got to go
'Cause I can't be the part of your life you don't wanna know ...and I can't keep lying all the time And I know you'll find a better man They're all too easy to find And I'll just go away somewhere and slowly lose my mind Candy, they called you a baby, they called you a whore And I can't see the light at the end for you anymore ...and I can't keep lying all the time And I know you'll find a better man They're all too easy to find And I'll just go away somewhere and slowly lose my mind Candy, I can't be the man they want me to be Maybe it was only with you that I could be me ...and I can't keep lying all the time And I know you'll find a better man They're all too easy to find And I'll just go away somewhere and slowly lose my mind |

She can make you feel like filth
She can make you feel like a star She will scratch till her hand is bloody But she'll love you more for the scar She remembers the recent past She's something the cat dragged in She's a trollop in paisley, so, (C): Take her down to the woods where the wolfboy lives, So the villagers say, And the three of you evaporate into the night Till you both fall in love with him With a face like an African mask And the strength of ten men When she's wrong She's in charge in the world at large And her novels are all very long She belongs on the astral plane She's probably a hologram Put her back in the padded cell (C) So you'll dress head to foot in lame And you'll dance in December snow When the sky turns to wine you'll embrace And forget everything that you know She can tell you the will of the gods Butter won't melt in her mouth, but you will Don't bother to ask her name (C) |

We were young like the future, we were young and always wrong
We were young like our country, learning old ways to be young Random driving around with you in my dilapidated car Like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white scarves (C): Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennesse and Jeremy Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy. Like a Galapagos turtle we grow old and stay that way, Build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane; and I noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained. (C) We drove, canopy down, in the scalding rain on the one day we were young The house we bought was really a lake Otters scampered down the halls There were whirlpools in the floor and sails You're alone and it's over You're alone with your gun You're alone From now on you're all alone and you're not young |

If I were Napoleon, you could be my Josephine
We could go to drive-in films in my red convertible If I were Napoleon, I might be in magazines I'd write some science fiction - science fiction about you You could be my Josephine: just you and your chaperone Let you be my Josephine, Josephine If I were Napoleon, you could be my lady love Look into my soft blue eyes Run your fingers through my hair If I were Napoleon, you could be my turtle-dove Living out in Corsica in our summer cottages And you could be my Josephine and we could be Siamese twins Let you be my Josephine, Josephine |

All day snow covered us
Night-time: it was always night The people on the street were made of meat Black girl, trucks ran us down Blue boy... The people on the sidewalk were traced in chalk Whale embryos filled your enormous room Screech-owl kachinas built your spiritual room We were kings, kings! We were kings, kings! |

You're in your own little world: an expensive birdcage;
Like a plastic baby in a Faberge egg I saw you today at the Cafe Blase And thought of the nights when we had fire fights Nameless seaside ghost town... That's where I go when I see the moon Living in an abandoned firehouse with you You're in your own little head in a field of sunflowers And there's blood in your mouth and there's rats all over town (C): Take me out to the beach and I'll tell you my secret name Take me under the sea and we'll derail the trains Let's run away into the caves I still love you I still love you baby You're in your own little box with ribbons in your hair And there's dust in your mouth and worms in the air Hideous city of unknown words... That's where I live when I go to sleep In an abandoned firehouse with you. (C) |

They say everyone you touch turns to gold
They say we're too young I think we're too old Ugly as sin, pale, and thing They've been wrong before They say you're a frog prince swollen with pride Always a bridesmaid, never a bride Getting confused in Santa Cruz Living in a dream Touching across the room like lovers from the moon Dancing all night to the tune of lovers from the moon I'm not afraid to walk hand in hand I think we were made to lie in the sand Decadently by the sea, under the sun Touching across the room like lovers from the moon Dancing all night to the tune of lovers from the moon --------------- |

Was there some part of you - tail, or hunchback;
That, when they cut it off, grew back? You were a little girl with starry eyes Now you're a sad young man and no one knows why. (C): When we go dancing underneath the city in the catacombs When we go dancing the strobe lights and the disco will bring us home. I know Old Orchard Beach is where you belong You can go back, but, baby, that won't make you young The wind will blow or it won't The stars come out or they don't The world goes round or we get thrown into the stars.

I will not sing your ugly song
I won't put on your ugly play I cannot join your ugly priesthood And if I die I won't come home Railroad boy of mine... I bought you crows and candelabra And I went moth-eating with you I held you down when you had seizures And read to you at bedtime Railroad boy of mine... We went to see a beaver dam We went to see a coral reef But life is more than going to see things And that's too bad Railroad boy of mine Railroad boy of mine... |

Well you've got a really long name
It won't fit on any forms You gave me all your mirrors and they made me deformed You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code We travel in the plaid van and we give our puppet show and we picnic in the winter on maple syrup and snow You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code Well, you made a Molotov cocktail, and you threw it on the ground, and it sent us flying, and now we're flying about You're sending smoke signals I know your secret code |

You held me upside-down
Till I couldn't breathe anymore Then you held me like a baby Television, like wine; and cigarettes, like grains of sand; And raspberry schnapps, like a thousand sunsets. (C): The boys talk like they own the world The women keep their stupid diaries But suddenly there's a tidal wave And everything is sucked out to sea. There were probably birds Outside our little room I don't remember anything but you We must have been the butt Of all the jokes in the world For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking. (C) (C) |

We used to dance like it was going out of style
when you loved me for a while and I remember every word you ever said; every kiss We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew but the words were never true for you or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark? (C): All the sweetest things you said and I believed were summer lies Hanging in the willow trees like the dead were summer lies I'll never fall in love again. I whispered too but the things I said were true and I gave up my whole world for you I gave you all the best years of my life and half the worst and now you're gone I pine and wane, pale and wan, never knowing when it's dawn, curtains drawn, hiding in my room, wasting away, cutting myself.

We used to hold hands at the movie show but we'll never hold hands again Do do do do do come on Do do do do do come on (C): Those days are gone You and I were young those summer nights You'll see the world diving for a girl you'll never find and then we'll quietly grow old: the saddest story ever told. Once upon a time we fell in love or at least that's what you said You say I can find someone else but I just wish I was dead Do do do do do come on Do do do do do come on. (C) |

When you were my baby So much in love it was almost frightening When you were my baby Everybody called you a fool When you wouldn't play by the rules Everybody was wrong, whoa whoa There was nowhere to run away to When you were my baby Everybody began to hate you When you were my baby Time wasn't on our side Me and my foolish pride Then I said goodbye, whoa whoa Now you've gone away and left me on my own Now I'm walking down the highway all alone On a rainy night and crying out my eyes Crying out my eyes Crying out my, crying out my eyes We were young, yeah, but old enough to... When you were my baby And I just couldn't help but love you When you were my baby Just the way you wore your hair And the way you just didn't care And the way you danced Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do When you were my baby Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do When you were my baby Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do When you were my baby Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do When you were my baby |

Some roads are only seen at night.
Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs. But some nights the neon gas gets free And turns into walking dead like me. And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep. One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep. I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name. Baby, I was born on a train. I know that you were never young, And I know you prob'ly won't get old. But honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore. And nobody's gonna make you wanna die. And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep. One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep. I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name. Baby, I was born on a train. I'll go some cold and gray morning. And you won't remember anything. But some people don't believe in time. And some of us don't believe in life. And I've been making promises I know I'll never keep. One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep. I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name.

Sometimes the road is too long You meet all kinds of people
Some of them cast no shadow They have no reflections Take a look in your photobook I'm not there anymore I was a traveling salesman I got lost on the backroads Fell in with a crowd of drifters. Sometimes the sun is too bright And it burns you like acid You get to love driving at night The moon is so close you can kiss it I used to remember you smiling and waving I don't think I can anymore I was a traveling salesman I got lost on the backroads Fell in with a crowd of drifters. We come, unnoticed, at sundown At the start of a blackout We set bonfires all over town And it's over by morning Sometimes we bring the rat and the wolf And sometimes the worm I was a traveling salesman I got lost on the backroads Fell in with a crowd of drifters. |

It was the army train that took her daddy from her
It was the bible train that took her momma too And that high loud whistle made her horse run away But the straw the broke the camel's back was you It was the government train that took away her childhood It was the KKK that took away her past It was the white man's will that hers be broken But that barefoot girl could run too fast CHORUS: Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with a Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat Everything she loved went down the dragon track She had a fear of trains BRIDGE: In the beet fields of Montana She's always coming on dead rails to break the plow and whisper "Honey, bound to live is bound to fail" And in a park in San Francisco her momma shrieks about the Lord And down the dead rails there's an echo The wind is whistling all-aboard CHORUS It was the wagon train that took away her country It was the oil train that took away her land She could have been the belle of the ponderosa but that was not the fat man's plan CHORUS |

Time, measured in dotted yellow lines has passed you by
and I never said an honest thing to you in all my life Hard times go slowly and the good times never come The world is a motor inn in the Iowa highway slum when the open road is closing in and you can't say where it ends and you begin when every truckstop dive's another five years off your life when the open road is closing in and the dotted yellow lines begin to spin when the sky begins to fall on everything you like at all you won't be coming home again Ciao, you keep on drowning in the roads between the towns now I have been closing all the shutters in the house well, I know you'll be back when every tree is turning brown you'll find the house is empty and the swingset's fallen down |

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town
but when your circus closes down don't walk away from me you've been asleep too long, the birds are bruises in the dawn the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow you could see what it means to be making the scene with me But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried you could find a little time for the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go. Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code You have a language of your own, an unconnected road The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go. But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow |

I'm sorry, but how can I get to you Stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots, Stuck in my deep sea diving suit? I never thought you'd turn on me, 'cause you're my best friend.

Youth fades as quickly as a hit parade But as the days go by in the gray world outside days grow on colorful trees In my secret place, in my secret place.

The saddest brown eyes I'll ever know.
You gave crying so long ago, But come outside and watch the snow Softly falling. Sad Little Moon in the big black sky. All alone, hang your head and cry. Sad Little Moon in the timeless night. You may sleep, but you will never die. You didn't need them, your Sunday friends. And so you watched them like grains of sand Running one by one out of your hands Softly falling. |

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks. Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur. You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world. Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back Planets crash, the world goes nova, Sun explodes, all goes black. You went off swinging London and forgot to come back |

You used to slide down the carpeted stairs
or down the bannister you stuttered like a kaleidoscope 'cause you knew too many words you used to make ginger bread houses we used to have taffy pulls Take ecstasy with me, baby take ecstasy with me. You had a black snowmobile we drove out under the northern lights a vodka bottle gave you those raccoon eyes we got beat up just for holding hands Take ecstasy with me, baby take ecstasy with me. |

I saw you standing at the airport
With your chihuahua in your hand Crying on the moving sidewalk On your way to Disneyland And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent Are all equally dead You don't care anymore, she said And the books she read and the books that she said she read Are all spread on the floor You don't care about them anymore I saw you closing your antique shop With a boa 'round your throat And you tremble like an ostrich In your ostrich feather coat And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent Are all equally dead You don't care anymore, she said And the books she read and the books that she said she read Are all spread on the floor You don't care about them anymore |

Crows in the trees spanish hotels by the sea
we wave goodbye airplanes draw swords in the sky I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. My eyes still burn whether you leave or return The flowers bloom when you walk into the room I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. You stole it all and wrote my name on a wall I've moved again I've changed my name again I'm so rich and you're so bored Are you the trouble I've been looking for You go out and you slam the door Are you the trouble I've been looking for. |

You know the rain is gone when the sky is full of dust
and the tears are gone when your eyes are red as rust and it just rains because it can and you just cry until you can't But I can feel my courage crumbling and my heart just turns to ice When I see myself reflected in your torn green velvet eyes. You know the night is gone when the sunlight burns your eyes and the cold is gone when the room is full of flies and it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind |

from Someone Like You (썸원 라이크 유) by Rolfe Kent [ost] (2001)
Don't fall in love with me yet
We only recently met True, I'm in love with you, but You might decide I'm a nut Give me a week or two to Go absolutely cuckoo Then when you see your error Then you can flee in terror Like everybody else does I only tell you this 'cause I'm easy to get rid of But not if you fall in love Know now that I'm on the make And if you make a mistake My heart will certainly break I'll have to jump in a lake And all my friends will blame you There's no telling what they'll do It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo Don't fall in love with me yet We only recently met True, I'm in love with you, but You might decide I'm a nut Give me a week or two to Go absolutely cuckoo Then when you see your error Then you can flee in terror Like everybody else does I only tell you this 'cause I'm easy to get rid of But not if you fall in love Know now that I'm on the make And if you make a mistake My heart will certainly break I'll have to jump in a lake And all my friends will blame you There's no telling what they'll do It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo |
