Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys Making all that noise 'Cause they found new toys Well we can't salute you Can't find a flag If that don't suit you That's a drag School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces No more pencils, no more books No more teacher's dirty looks Well, we got no class And we got no principles And we got no innocence We can't even think of a world that rhymes School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces No more pencils, no more books No more teacher's dirty looks Out for summer, out till fall We might not go back at all School's out for summer School's out forever School's out with fever School's out completely |

If the day wants to begin, you can let the day in
If the darkness has no end, light up the darkness It ain't on what you can depend, it's who you can depend on If the rain wants to come in, you can let the rain in If the darkness is your friend, you can hold the darkness And if it ain't what you got, you know you gotta have it The grass gets greener all the time for creatures of habit Look out, here comes one more morning Habits form without a warning Love it can be habit-forming Make your enemies your friends, and leap standing naked It ain't how much you can take, it's how you take it Look out, here comes one more morning Habits form without a warning Love it can be habit-forming for creatures of habit Look out A habit's forming It's just one more morning For creatures of habit |

Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying And it comes back to you, all the things that you do Will come looking for you, will come looking for you But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls But I will still be laughing I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing I will still be laughing |

Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

Nothing happened, it's just two people passing through
Hearing voices in my head, hope they never lie to you Why's something always gotta be up with you Whatever I do is never enough for someone like you Passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Who'll forgive me, who's to say if it's right or wrong And you won't see me in a light that shines on me And how come something's always gotta be up with you Back on my feet but the night's getting long, do you think about me too Turning blood into wine It's passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line And if they ask you how I'm doing Just tell 'em that I'm fine Staying out all the time Is turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Blood into wine |

When you chew my ear off, try and let me know
You will never get another piece of me Cause in a New York blackout, things go kinda slow And you miss the things you never thought you'd see There's still so many things I want to be Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep In a New York blackout, it's so hard to see All the angels that are looking after me The lies bounce off the water in your eyes And the dead lift their heads and come alive And I may never escape this darkened city But still I'm trying to find you in this blackout Where it's warm inside and always open late And the doors to hell look just like heaven's gate And you never know what's going on inside 'Til you step out in the cold and seal your fate And you might just stop in and say hello But you've got much more important places to go Make sure you let everybody know That I may never enlight this darkened city Still i'm trying to find you in this blackout In a New York blackout, you might think I'm gone But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door |

It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away At the top of the day When the reign sways Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away Please don't ask me how I am, a little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The smile that remains Will take these chains away |

I've been loved and hated I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated No, I don't believe it I just can't conceive it I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it Oh no, don't know what's the matter Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down If I don't get what I want And there ain't enough to go around I become oblivious to the obvious Just ridiculous As I flip the pages You're a time that ageless In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages Though we were related Couldn't be separated Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated If I don't get what you want And you don't get what I need We become oblivious to the obvious Just dysfunctional Shut down When I can't get keep from getting down And I grow tired of hangin' 'round I become invisible, unlivable Just dysfunctional Shut down |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

She swings the string of pearls on the corner
The street lights reflect the light in the water The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver Who's racing to the delivery room 'Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb And the sack breaks and out come the Siamese Twins Who grow up to become the first President With two heads Are better than one He puts his heads in his hands, says I got to put my heads together I can become the best President ever And not just President Fend for yourself Signs his name, takes the blame for all of the names with no shame In their beliefs They adjourn and they leave, and in walks a man With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands And he sweeps everything under the rug And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug But his wife was not there, she had just left a letter That said "you'd be much better off without me" Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral Who died in the bathroom, hit his head on a urinal When they got together, the knowledge was carnal And the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfight And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting And the preacher just left in the middle of the service 'Cause death was one thing, but women made him nervous And he ran to his car and he drove 'round the corner Then something in the street caught the light in his eye He pulled over, reached down, and picked up a pearl from the gutter And he didn't know what to think And he brought it home and washed it in the sink And he gave the pearl to Sister Mary Teresa Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa, A young prostitute who was missing a pearl On the necklace that broke late last night |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin' I was a key that could use a little turnin' So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I could't keep Promised myself I would't weep One more promise I could't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray *Run away train never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I Should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mistery seem so faded I can go where no one else can go I know,what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night. earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it *Repeat Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain A little out of touch. little insane It's just easier than feelin' with the pain *Repeat Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems to stay |

I'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart
I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart If I can keep it up If I can keep it up I've been complaining like a broken record Gonna get what I want if it takes forever If I can keep it up If I can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing I know it seems funny tryin' to understand It's just that things don't always go the way you planned Still you keep it up Still you keep it up Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down I'm just a-holdin' out, just a-hangin' round Tryin' to keep it up Just to keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x4) 747's gonna take us away Take us up to heaven, gonna be okay If we can keep it up If we can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x8) |

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

I gotta get on
I gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Will I be on the streets tomorrow Will I have to beg and borrow Will I have to go back to the job I left behind Could you still make it With a guy who never made it Would you look into my eyes if I were to go blind Gotta get on I gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Now will you leave me for another Send me running back to mother Will I have the time to tell you how I really feel Am I just getting slower Or are you just talking faster Do we need bad disaster to make it plain to see That all these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Do I just feel like cryin' Cause I'm sick and tried of tryin' Trying to convince you this ain't how it has to be The ground you walk on's sacred The sky above awaits you So cast all your frustrations to the bottomless sea Gotta get on Gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head |

Lives in a little lonely town
No one's around except for the drinking Nobody ever gets around But those who leave the township sinking May you rot in heaven Gotta be home by seven And the field burns away The sky breathes it in So why sit and wait for the new world to begin I'm comin' out across your border With new orders for you to take I'd really like to take out your daughter Down in the water, down by the lake When the cold water's on her skin I can feel how long it's been And the neighbors will all be there And no one will know what to wear So why sit and wait for the world to begin I got a lot I gotta do Just to get through the end of the day It hardly ever even happens But I go to sleep the same anyway And you can't believe in yourself You can't believe in anyone else So why sit and wait for the new world to begin |

Quittin' after one more last one
Tired of playin' the clown If I want your opinion I'll ask ya I can get myself down Night driving without headlight Wearin' sunglasses too Lookin' good but sure don't feel right Anything to be cool Doin' hopscotch with my legs tied Jumpin' rope in wet cement Black leather in midday sunshine All your mother's money's spent Doin' time on the metal detector Like to drown in your pool Coverin' up everything that's defective Anything to be cool A burning heart could be so cool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool for you Holdin' on to what's left of real life Anything to be cool (x4) A burning heart like an April Fool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool I'm a mid-spring snowfall, joke's on you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool (x3) |

I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face So seriously I took her I was a disgrace I was out of line; I was out of place Out of time to save face See the open mouth of my suitcase Sayin' leave this place Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to get a good job With honest pay I might as well join the mob The benefits are okay Standing in the sun with a popsicle Everything is possible With a lot of luck and a pretty face And some time to waste Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to dance at a funeral New Orleans style I joined the Grave Dancer's Union I had to file Trying to do the right thing, play it straight The right thing changes from state to state Don't forget to take your mace If you're out walking late I liked to see your face You left without a trace You leave without a trace |

You never grow out of mischief making
You never grow out of taking You never grow out of complicating When simple things are waiting But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of contemplating When it ain't worth debating You never grow out of mistake making You never grow out of faking But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear (x6) And will I ever, ever, ever get over it |

Tell me how you get that shine
You must polish all the time Though I know your job is thankless They will thank you up in heaven Oh, the sun maid Looking for the shade Though they say she's not too bright She takes care of all the light Without you it's cold and stark We would all be in the dark Without the sun maid She never gets paid Searching for the shade Oh the sun maid You are so taken for granted With each and every seed that's planted And the earth is so demanding All the young girls are out tanning With the sun maid She's such an old maid She never gets laid Oh the sun maid Now you're tired, your day is over Now the moon is one day older |
