She's got her ear to the walls and she's tappin' the calls
If you've got a secret boy, forget about it, 'cause she's a Hotel Detective My little Hotel Detective Yeah she's a Hotel Detective Why don't you check her out Well the bellhop is funky The dumbwaiter's a monkey If there's a knock at the door, boy, forget about it, 'cause she's a Hotel Detective My little Hotel Detective Yeah Hotel Detective Cone on and check her out She says she likes my face She says she owns the place Forget about it, 'cause she's a Hotel Detective My little Hotel Detective Come on her Hotel Detective Why don't you check her out Hotel Detective Come on and swing with me Hotel Detective From the top of a tree Hotel Detective And make me feel like a bee Hotel Detective That's where I want to know you |

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl But don't don't don't let's start I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone You are an animal The words I'm singing now Mean nothing more than meow to an animal Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound D, world destruction Over and overture N, do I need Apostrophe T, need this torture? Don't don't don't let's start This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl But don't don't don't let's start I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful They want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying, Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa D, world destruction Over and overture N, do I need Apostrophe T, need this torture?

I was born in a lighthouse, my mother was the sea
I crawled to school each morning, when it occurred to me That life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see And this is what it said to me My room is comfortably small With rubber lining the walls And there's someone always calling my name He calls when I'm alone And he calls when I'm not home And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane Now listen all you swingers, don't you try to tag along I know monkey see, but monkey's dead, for you it would be wrong Put a dime in my jukebox, you'll only hear this song And it won't be fun for long Because my room is comfortably small With rubber lining the walls And there's someone always calling my name He calls when I'm alone And he calls when I'm not home And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane Thank you Thank you My room is comfortably small With rubber lining the walls And there's someone always calling my name He calls when I'm alone And he calls when I'm not home And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane |

This song is dedicated to all you modern-day troubadours out there
And I think I know who you are I got to get a job Got to get some pay My son's gotta go to art school He's leaving in three days And the TV's in Esperanto* You know that that's a bitch But alienation's for the rich And I'm feeling poorer every day Hey hey hey Well I ain't feeling happy About the state of things in my life But I'm working to make it better With a six of Miller High Life Just drinking and a-driving Making sure my dues get paid Because alienation's for the rich And I'm feeling poorer every day Hey hey hey Well I ain't feeling happy About the state of things in my life But I'm working to make it better With a six of Miller High Life Just drinking and a-driving Making sure my dues get paid Because alienation's for the rich And I'm feeling poorer every day Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey |

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe Exit wound in a foreign nation Showing the home of the one this was written for My apartment looks upside down from there Water spirals the wrong way out the sink And her voice is a backwards record It's like a whirlpool and it never ends Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you All alone at the '64 World's Fair Eighty dolls singing "small world after all" Who was at the Dupont Pavilion? Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there? Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire To the horn on the pole at the bus depot And in the back of the edge of hearing These are the words the voice was repeating: Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge, "I don't want the world, I just want your half" They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me) Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by) And it sticks like a broken record Everything sticks like a broken record Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home) And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know) Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you |

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend But really I'm not actually your friend But I am Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul I have a secret to tell >From my electrical well It's a simple message and I'm leving out The whistles and bells So the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly My name is blue canary one-word Spelled l-i-t-e My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette It doesn't rest I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend But really I'm not actually your friend But I am There's a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Which stood on rocky shores and Kept the beaches shipwreck free Though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off and Countless screaming Argonauts Bluebird of friendliness Like guardian angels its Always near (And while you're at it Leave the nite lite on inside the Birdhouse in your soul) |

Mind your business Mind your business Mind your never-shut, Quonset hut business My craft is exploding It's like I'm making cloisonne Choking on my dust With my three blind cats You have a friend in law enforcement Don't go calling law enforcement Business Mind your business Got too busy explaining Now it's just raining pain Pain in the form of a rain drop Yes, a rain drop made of pain Tell 'em the story, rain drop "I don't want to tell 'em, mister!" Tell 'em the story, rain drop "I don't want to tell 'em!" Keep your voice down Keep your voice down Keep your window-shaking, godforsaken voice down I'm sick of this beeswax I'm sick of these second-story Sleestaks Breathing on my dice Giving me back rubs When I'm deep in concentration You start getting all conversatin' Sleestak What's a Sleestak? That's your heart attack Towel rack Fallback You got no doctors All your doctors have gone home What's a Sleestak? What's a Sleestak? You have a friend in law enforcement Don't go calling law enforcement Cloisonne |

I'm going down to Cowtown
The cow's a friend to me Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be Beneath the waves, the waves And that's where I will be I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea The yellow Roosevelt Avenue leaf overturned The ardor of arboreality is an adventure we have spurned, we've spurned A new leaf overturned It's a new leaf overturned And so I'm going down to Cowtown The cow's a friend to me Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be Beneath the waves, the waves And that's where I will be I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea We yearn to swim for home, but our only home is bone How sleepless is the egg knowing that which throws the stone Foresees the bone, the bone Our only home is bone Our only home is bone And so I'm going down to Cowtown The cow's a friend to me Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be Beneath the waves, the waves And that's where I will be I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea Yes I'm going down to Cowtown The cow's a friend to me Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be Beneath the waves, the waves And that's where I will be I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea Yes I'm gonna see (I'm gonna see) The cow (the cow) Beneath the sea |

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf Before the expiration date I came back as a bag of groveries Accidentally taken off the shelf Before the date stamped on myself CHORUS Did a large procession wave their Torches as my hed fell in the basket And was everybody dancing on the casket? Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't Done anything that I want Or, I'm still alive And there's nothing I want to do I will never say the word "Procrastinate" again; I'll never See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed I didn't apologize foor when I was eight And I made my younger brother Have to be my personal slave CHORUS So I won't sit at home anymore And you wn't see my head in the window And I won't be around ever anymore And I7ll be up there on the wall at the store I returned a bag of groceries Accidentally taken off the shelf Before the expiration date I came back as a bag of groceries Accidentally taken off the shelf Before the date stamped on myself CHORUS |

Evil, in his mind there is no other game!
When your name is Evil, that is good or so you think, but you're so very wrong. It's evil! But being wrong is right, so then you're good again, wich is the evilest thing of all... Do you find his sudden ways, invite you? does he excite you? If his contradictions should atract you, should he distract you? Heaven help you then... You're finished, it's the end... There'll be no retrieval... From the evil... The evil, he will do. He's evil, he's Doctor Evil. His name is Evil. |

When I walk down the street, most guys look like elves
I don't mean to put them down but they do It's hard to understand me from the laguage that I use There's n oword in English for my style CHORUS What's a man like me supposed to do with all this extra savoir-faire? What is left for me to prove, dear? I know just what to do when the ladies come 'round You can try to copy me but you'll fall Now, you might think you're different but time will prove me right When you wake up from your dream I'll be gone CHORUS |

Don't don't don't let's start This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl But don't don't don't let's start I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around I don't want to live in this world anymore I don't want to live in this world Don't don't don't let's start This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl But don't don't don't let's start I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around |

CHORUS
Hot Cha, where are you? Everybody's eyes are closed I can't see why I miss you so So Hot Cha, where are you? First time Hot Cha went away A floating island was his home then the phone rang off the hook And Hot Cha had to run back home CHORUS Second time he went away Left the bathtub running over Stereo on and cooking bacon Never came back to tell us why CHORUS If that honey would come back We would throw such a party Drink and cook the prodigal son Fondue forks for everybody CHORUS |

Birds are calling to sing along
But my window's painted shut And all that year of chorus taught me Is out of style and long forgot How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone Never be alone From the watchtowers I've been spotted Fingers pointing at my mouth Spotlights turn and pivot towards me But I dare not make a sound How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone Never be alone How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl |

I can super-size that Please bring your car around I can hear you Just barely hear you I can just barely hear you |

Sometimes I feel like being wispy
And once in a while I feel like being dry But we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround So I hope that I get old before I die It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die Clear off the kitchen table, darling For on the kitchen table I must lie And I'm just tired for my wife served the banquet of my life And I hope that I get old before I die It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened, why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die |

I saw the best minds of my generation Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea If by random whim, one occurs to me If necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility pole I saw the worst bands of my generation Applied by magic marker to dry wall I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off I should have a call in show I am not allowed To ever come up with a single original thought I am not allowed To meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me I was the best hope of my generation Destroyed my madness, starving, hysterical I should be allowed to share my feelings I should be allowed to feel I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea If by random whim one occurs to me But sadly, this can never be I am not allowed to think |

Get out of the car
Put down the phone Take off that stupid looking hat you wear I'm going to die if you touch me one more time Well I guess that I'm going to die no matter what Love people are there The smell of love is everywhere You think it's always sensitive and good You think that I want to be understood I've got a match Your embrace and my collapse Beat up the cat if you need someone else on the mat I put a rock in the coffee in your coffee mug Which one of us is the one that we can't trust? You say that I think it's you but I don't agree with that Love people are there The smell of love is everywhere You think it's always sensitive and good You think that I want to be understood I've got a match Your embrace and my collapse even when we get along I've got a match Your embrace and my collapse Love people are there The smell of love is everywhere Why can't you be sensitive and good Why don't you want to be understood I've got a match Your embrace and my collapse I've got a match Your embrace and my collapse |

In 1844, the Democrats were split
The three nominees for the presidential candidate Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist James Buchanan, a moderate Louis Cass, a general and expansionist From Nashville came a dark horse riding up He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump Austere, severe, he held few people dear His oratory filled his foes with fear The factions soon agreed He's just the man we need To bring about victory Fulfill our manifest destiny And annex the land the Mexicans command And when the votes were cast the winner was Mister James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump In four short years he met his every goal He seized the whole southwest from Mexico Made sure the tarriffs fell And made the English sell the Oregon territory He built an independent treasury Having done all this he sought no second term But precious few have mourned the passing of Mister James K. Polk, our eleventh president Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump |
