You can never give
The finger to the blind
Sometimes I act so stupid
But you never seem to mind

That's no way to be
Laughing at the deaf
I know that I repeat myself
When I got nothing left

But you know
Hidden thoughts
Poison life, poison life
Yeah you know
Hidden feelings
You steal from yourself

Soho has the boots
Noho's got the crack
New England has the foliage
But I'm not goin back

You tell me that I'm good
I know that I was bad
You made me feel so guilty
I can't remember what I had

But you know
Hidden thoughts
Poison life, poison life
Yeah you know
Hidden feelings
You steal from yourself

I see you comin down
Your life is flashin before ya
I see you comin round
You're talking over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

I see you comin down
Too bad there's nothing left over
I don't know what you mean
You're talkin over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

I see you wakin up
And now the day is upon ya
The party's over now
You're talkin over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

No point in screamin
Cause I'm only dreamin
That you came to pieces
And I came in peace

You're always loaded
Your life has imploded
Nine weeks of hell, man
But I'm feelin swell

And in my dreams I slash your tires
And in my dreams I set these fires
And all your fears, it's nothing new
And all your tears, they won't help you

You're always posin
And I was imposin
But I turned the tables
And I'm feeling fine

You're always loaded
Your life has imploded
Nine weeks of hell, man
But I'm feelin swell

And in my dreams I slash your tires
And in my dreams I set these fires
And all your fears, it's nothing new
And all your tears, they won't help you

And all your fears, it's nothing new
And all your tears, they won't help you

All kinds of crazy people
Police and senators too
All the crazy people
Couldn't hold a candle to you

Say goodbye
I can't satisfy
All your dreams

All my nasty habits
Are walkin further away
All my nasty habits
I'm feelin better each day

Say goodbye
I can't satisfy
All your hopes

Time bends and slows ....
.... and I
Know that you're mine and then
Solely roll on through the night

Time, time
On through the night
Time, time

Each day goes so fast
The summer is now past
I'm standin in garbage
And solely roll on through the night

Time, time
On through the night
Time, time

Time, time, time
When you were mine, mine, mine
All through the time, time, time
When you were mine, mine, mine

I lost my tongue
When I saw your new friends
Please take me home
To the place it will end

I felt to sick
Had to smile, had to smile
Please take me home
To the place I belong

I saw my room
Looked so soft all about
I felt so sick
Had to smile, had to smile

Maybe I was bad as the ones I hate
Maybe I was dumb, but I can't wait
Maybe what you said is not so cool
Maybe what you did is just too cruel

I can't tell what it takes
I can't wait for today

Scary lookin guys walk down my street
Scary lookin suits I don't wanna meet
Maybe I was bad as the ones I hate
Maybe I was dumb, but I can't wait

I can't tell what it takes
I can't wait for today

I can't tell what it takes
I can't tell what it takes
I can't wait for today
I can't wait for today

Hey sister, hey sister
Things move all alone
You know that I
Can't stand what you do
And it won't be too long

Hey soldier, hey soldier
Things die on their own
You know that I
Can't stand what you do
And it won't be too long

And I'm sure that it won't be too long
And I'm tired of pretending I'm wrong

Hey girl, sweet thing
I want everything
You love me too

And I want you

Well I think I'm gonna
Jump right through your window
And I think I'm gonna
Jump into your life

Cause you got me in a bad situation
And I want you

Love is all around us
And the astronauts
Can feel it far away

But it's got me in a bad situation
And I want you

Yeah I think I'm gonna
Take a short vacation
And I think we're gonna
Have to start anew

Cause you got me in a bad situation
And I want you

oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah)

It's gettin warm already
We're goin for a ride

I'm feelin pacified

Forget about your parents
They never cared a bit
Leave the doctors behind you

Goodbye baby
Bye bye honey
Goodbye baby

Three years in this town
And I want to leave town
The clubs have all shut down
And I have been dressed down

edging to the door
sweet obscenity

all of a sudden
the girl of my dreams
she never asks
she always screams
do you see her face
in a puddle at my feet
as i bend down
to kiss the street

and i'll come runnin' to her
and i'll come runnin' to her

her sleep is troubled
her face will twitch
she wakes up angry
and i'm bewitched
her smile is forced
she's always late
but she's not sorry
and i capitulate

and i'll come runnin' to her
and i'll come runnin' to her

all of a sudden
the girl of my dreams
she never asks
she always screams

you spent the night
in a steel hotel
where the birds whistled
where the birds whistled
you have to wonder
what's goin' on
and maybe this time
you're overdrawn

this time around
the pressure's on
you hope for happiness
your hand are scarred

i've seen your girl
you think she's cute
don't make her crazy
don't make her sad
the sky is painted
deep shade of blue
i hope for happiness
this time around
the pressure's on
you hope for happiness
your hand are scarred

up on the roof
it's almost dawn
see the water towers
look so forlorn
they've got no reason
to feel that way

night turn to day
let's get away
it's another day

let's get away
it's another day

we'll go somewhere
we've never been
time's runnin' out
we'll start again
what's round the bend
i just can't say

night turn to day
let's get away
it's another day

let's get away
it's another day

i've seen her face
in those scented magazines

all is forgivin'
i love her still
and we're home, home
goin' home

the chrysler building
was talkin' to the empire state
the twin towers
were talkin' to each other
sayin' all is forgivin'
i love you still
and we're home, home
goin' home

what she saw in him
nobody knew
it's a mystery
what she saw in him
nobody could tell
now it's history

all is forgivin'
i love her still
and we're home, home
goin' home
and we're home, home
goin' home

and we're home, home
goin' home

we'll your face is flushed
and your eyes are closin'
and your girldfriend has just walked out
and you're gettin' no respect
and you sold your favourite records
and you sold mine too
and you haven't got a nickle
and you havent got a clue

are you comin' back
are you comin' back
back into the fold
back into the fold

well, you knoww i ain't no mystic
but i'm wrapped up in your life
and i won't ask silly questions
'cause i can't stand the lies

are you comin' back
are you comin' back
back into the fold
back into the fold

are you comin' back
are you comin' back

i went to your street
at seven in the mornin'
and while you were asleep
i read your newspaper
i saw you out walkin'
out walkin' with your father
pretendin' not to see me
pretendin' to be a family

i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on

saw a metal object
lyin' in the street
and when we turned away
it stood itself up
you circled the island
in a chevy caprice
you stuck out your tongue
and your nose began to bleed

i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on

i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on

a sleepin' pill
has made you ill
and caused you to regress
you're losin' touch
with simple pleasures
your life is gettin' dull

your telephone neurosis
it's killin' all us
your friends are gettin' famous
but that's not who have to call
you're havin' trouble wakin' up
you want things to be perfect
you're always at the window
you think it's safer there

You can never give
The finger to the blind
Sometimes I act so stupid
But you never seem to mind

That's no way to be
Laughing at the deaf
I know that I repeat myself
When I got nothing left

But you know
Hidden thoughts
Poison life, poison life
Yeah you know
Hidden feelings
You steal from yourself

Soho has the boots
Noho's got the crack
New England has the foliage
But I'm not goin back

You tell me that I'm good
I know that I was bad
You made me feel so guilty
I can't remember what I had

But you know
Hidden thoughts
Poison life, poison life
Yeah you know
Hidden feelings
You steal from yourself

Hey girl, sweet thing
I want everything
You love me too
And I want you
Well I think I'm gonna
Jump right through your window
And I think I'm gonna
Jump into your life
Cause you got me in a bad situation
And I want you
Well the TV says that
Love is all around us
And the astronauts
Can feel it far away
But it's got me in a bad situation
And I want you
Yeah I think I'm gonna
Take a short vacation
And I think we're gonna
Have to start anew
Cause you got me in a bad situation
And I want you

I told you that we've been through this but
You know I told you that before
I try to find out where we missed but
I gets to be such a bore

Cause ever since that time I told you so
Well something gets my eye and it won't let go
And then the stories and words are here and gone
Well that's what you always say

I try to sit and talk with you but
You know how moods change all the time
I try to wait a week or two but
By then I'll probably change my mind

Cause ever since that time I told you so
Well something gets my eye and it won't let go
And then the stories and words are here and gone
Well that's what you always say

Hey sister, hey sister
Things move all alone
You know that I
Can't stand what you do
And it won't be too long

Hey soldier, hey soldier

And I'm sure that it won't be too long
And I'm tired of pretending I'm wrong

rollercoaster, bumper car
ghosts down at the wax museum
stinking drunk just like a bum
rollercoaster (give me um)?

cyclone at the house of freaks
(neighbors) hotdogs on the boardwalk?
rollercoaster, bumper car
twinkle twinkle little star

rollercoaster, bumper car
ghosts down at the wax museum
stinking drunk just like a bum
rollercoaster (get me up)?

that's it

Is there a doctor in the house?
In the house of pancakes?
You got a banana split
Personality
Lately it's been happy hour
All day long
Sip it slowly and leave the olive
She is very fond of you

You stand accused
Of smoking english cigarettes
That's a provocation
If ever one was
Brother number 1
Brother number 2
Why are you fighting?
What are you gonna do?

And at the weekly meeting
Of anonymous cads
You shuffle your feet
And whistle out aloud
Listen to what they're saying
What a load of crap
You ain't no Cary Grant
But then again, who is?

Sneakin' a kiss
On the fire escape
A little game of pup tent
With a blanket and a broom
My mind is taking photographs
Of every little thing
Exhibit number 2 ...
A piece of white chocolate

And if you want me to,
I'm gonna cry you a river tonight
And if you ask me to,
I'm gonna crawl right into your dreams
And did you know,
I feel a chokin' in the back of my throat

I see you walkin'
Walkin' on tippytoes
Swayin' like a sunflower
On a Spanish afternoon
My mind is taking photographs
Of every little thing
Exhibit number 8 ...
Don't be late

You crept in
Underneath the radar
Living in a glass house
Sleeping on a glass bed
But my mind has taken photographs
Of every little thing
Honey turn around
And the shame remains

I told lies to your family
Concerning your whereabouts
They feel so sorry for me
I invented jealous stories
My imagination ran wild
I made myself so angry
The night that you insulted me
I lay awake thinking
Clever things I could have said
My thoughts kept turning to Bobby Peru
How would he handle this one

'S' is for sorry for all that I did
Now is the time to turn it all around
I know what is the matter so why can't I fix it
Forgive me please

I had lunch with an old girlfriend
Who knows all my faults
And pretends to want to help
She said I really don't mind
Your keeping secrets from me
But please don't keep them from yourself
Murder is bad, and suicide is sad
Why would a girl like that put her head in the oven?
You have your theories, and I got one too
It's such a waste

Woman made of paper
Understand me now
This time they got you by the ears
You might be nothing
Or just a footprint
They've been watching you for years

It's a strange fascination
It's a bliss
It's a beggar's bliss

A double dance
For twenty dollars
You may be crooked, but not cheap
Go ahead and make a mistake
That's what you're made of
They've been watching you for years

It's a strange fascination
It's a bliss
It's a beggar's bliss

In the shadow of a candlestick
Your face appears
Quickly, now's the time
Why are we waiting?
Uptown, downtown
I could care less
I've been watching you for years

It's a strange fascination
It's a bliss
It's a beggar's bliss

Tell me stories on my birthday
Buy me gifts on Halloween
She's pretending not know me
But I know where she's been

Change your name and change
Your number
I'm gonna find you anyhow
I have been through all your things
Asking when and how and why

I spend too much time in airplanes
Eating peanuts
And getting high
Don't know why I can't stop smiling
When I only need to cry

In rented tuxedos the guests will arrive,
Smiling and smoking, chewing and choking.
Women in their favorite shoes, dark disturbing thoughts,
All of them together making trips to the bathroom.
Black eyed Susans and chilled potatoes,
High balls and low, a pinch in the punch.
Invisible to mirrors you fly around the room,
Tell me the password and then I bring you fire?.

Chorus:
So get up off the floor and play with me some more.
Come down to my side and tell me green-eyed lies.
We'll find a magic spell to turn this muck to gold.
Well promises don't grow on trees.

Playing the weedgee board in front of the fire,

It told me to do unspeakable things.
Mixed in a cocktail of muddled emotions,
Slinky and winky, stinky and drinky.

Chorus.

They made me dance, they made me sing,
The boring little bible, a dreary dibble dabble.
The bustle and vanity, the hustle and insanity,
Clowning and towning, drowning and frowning.

Chorus.

I wanna plug you in
I wanna get you things
Send you a pentagram
Feed you diazepam

I wanna play the game
I wanna live again
I wanna bend your spoons
And make your silver shine

Because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

I'll wear a stylin' mustache
You'll wear a frozen smile
We'll run like tamal tigers
We'll drink the poison vile

I'm not the jack of diamonds
I'm not the six of spades
I don't know what you thought
I'm not your astronaut

Because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

Because your mistletoe
Because i gamble
Because i told you so
My eyes are scrambled

I got pills that make me cranky
I got pills that make me cry
I have crooked information
Tiny nightmares in the sky

Rest your head upon my pillow
Put my hand inside your bed
You can have it if you want it
If you'd like to take a chance

I can hypnotize a pancake
I can levitate the Pope
I can make your teacher crazy
'Cause it's all within my scope

Rest your head upon my pillow
Put my hand inside the bed
You can have it if you want it
If you'd like to take a chance

Teenage lightning in the basement
Teenage lightning in the night
Teenage lightning on my window
Teenage lightning is alright

When candles light themselves
And the air turns creamy
Why not take a photograph?
You look so dreamy

Then stand in the blackness
Smile at the tinkling
Blinded by lovedust
What did I see?

A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million, a billion star

I'm bad with faces
And worse with names
But the last glove is happy
Its all the same

I set a trap for you
But I'm the one who's all caught up
Blinded by lovedust
This is what I saw

A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million a billion stars
A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million, a billion stars

Well it's painful to observe
Looking at your curls
Sorry to be mean
But it's sad to be a churl
Talking to your friends is like talking to a shoe
His hair is stupid blonde
And his eyes are stupid blue

Searching for a crime
Searching for a crime
Something slipped my mind
And I am searching for a crime

In 1995 I told 1,000 lies
Let me tell you about the agony of love

Follow me
To the top
All the way
Never stop
I know I lost my cool
It's no where to be found
My Violent obsession
Stood the test of time

Searching for a crime
Searching for a crime
Something slipped my mind
And I am searching for a crime

In 1995 I told 1,000 lies
Let me tell you about the agony of love

Honey bunny come on
It's time to put the diamonds on
In the bathroom on the plane
On the bus and on the train
I'll write your name

In malibu
In malibu

Inside italian magazines
In my wishes and my dreams
On the walls and on the streets
In the sand and on the beach
I'll write your name

In malibu
In malibu
In malibu

You will call me robespierre
Put the powder in your hair
Moonmen light
This crooked sky
There is something in the air

Your electronic billet doux
It left me scrambling for a clue
North of north dakota
East of easter egg
I made a promise to the hills

Your purple mouth says snicker smack
I'm turning 'round i'm turning back
Cindy tastes of barbecue
Cindy tastes like cream
I made a promise to the hills

We were brown and we were down
We were black and we were slack
We are diggin' us a hole
There is nothin' in this bowl

On the way to kansas city
Tell me who i'm supposed to be
It's raining rain
It's raining snow
Tell me where you wanna go

I don't wanna take your call
I refuse to climb your wall
I don't wanna ride your bus
I am tired of all of us

On the way to kansas city
Tell me who i'm supposed to be
It's raining rain
It's raining snow
Tell me where you wanna go

I wanna plug you in
I wanna get you things
Send you a pentagram
Feed you diazepam

I wanna play the game
I wanna live again
I wanna bend your spoons
And make your silver shine

Because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

I'll wear a stylin' mustache
You'll wear a frozen smile
We'll run like tamal tigers
We'll drink the poison vile

I'm not the jack of diamonds
I'm not the six of spades
I don't know what you thought
I'm not your astronaut

Because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

Because your mistletoe
Because i gamble
Because i told you so
My eyes are scrambled

I thought about it everyday
While i was wandering in and out of the pink
You had to make another go
Cause you were drowning in your wonderful drink
There's so much of madness here
So much that sinks
Act like you're all, we're all in a terrible fable
What do you see

I'm running so fast
Gotta go where i need
Out on the road there
The devil knows what i see

Sometimes you gotta know
You gotta make it with a lot of the same
I had to be another joe
Drifting in and out of the way
So much i used to let by
Was so much like a kick in the head
Better be off and i better be able
To see what's ahead

It's beautiful now
I tell myself i'm braver
You're sorry somehow
Never know what it means to you

High speed train
French cocaine
Comfort station
Show and tell
Tell me something good

Dirty windshield
Denim suit
Broken glass
Snakeskin boot
Tell me something nice

You're the star-spangled man
You're the star-spangled man

Steven sprouse
Chairman mouse
Chow yun fat
Geronimo pratt
Tell me something good

Unknown treasures
Unknown tricks
Unknown pleasures
I feel six
Tell me something nice

You're the star-spangled man
You're the star-spangled man
You're the star-spangled man
In a star-spangled land

Dog day romance, key lime pie
Valium sunset, hazy sky
Motel bambi
Where has all the sunshine gone?

Mystic rattlers, eight-eyed spy
Hong kong garden, spanish fly
Motel bambi
Where has all the sunshine gone?

We don't belong here
We can't compete
We don't belong
Anymore

I like flowers, i like sex
Cover all the mirrors
I think i'm gonna cry
It's tuesday morning
Where have all the good times gone?

Taxi drivers, yellow hands
Cosmic dancers on golden sands
Motel bambi
Tell me where the good times have gone

We don't belong here
We can't compete
We don't belong
Anymore

The little girl, the black fields
Never had a way to deal with
Her old man

Now you need her, you could try it
You could burst up through the floorboards
And maybe then

I got a cold master and
She's gonna tell you
She's gonna break my back with a
Bit of amusement oh man
We're holding hands

So if the words get in the way
Hold the silence but just don't stay there
You're in the sand

When everything comes crying to you
Say bye bye goodbye to holding hands

You've got to sell it over and
I'm gonna buy you
I've got a television with
So many lines to bet on
She hasn't come home
Bobby, i'm still at home

I've got a cold master and
She's gonna tell you
She's gonna break my back with a
Bit of amusement oh man
Can we make amends?
Bobby, i'm still at home

Well she looked real cute
In her buffalo boots
She got a rosy future
In her juicy couture
Ladybug red
And strawberry pink
Made me stop and wonder
Made me have to think

There's a girl in nolita
That i really wanna snuckle
And at the supermarket
I have to bite my knuckle
Mother of pearl
Thrilling my thrill
Mother of the girl
Spilling my spill

Souveniers, soft and sweet
Clap your hands and tap your feet
Ring your bells and paint your toes
Rainbow babe

Aquavit in plastic cups
Feathered drums and lipstick butts
Ring your bells and paint your toes
Rainbow babe

Midnight fell at twelve o' clock
And your lips said ticker tock
Two and two makes twenty two
Rainbow babe

I saw that girl again today
Reading silly magazines
I saw that girl again today
Singing songs of bubblegum
I had my eyes peeled wide
Up and down the dirty side
I had my eyes peeled wide
I think about her all the time
And then you blew my mind
Always on my mind
You made an educated guess
You are an educated girl
It was a palace on wheels
And I was just a drunken fool
I had my eyes peeled wide
Up and down the dirty side
I got a head just like a beehive
I think about her all the time
Why must you be
A mystery to me?

Hello, little one
And what can I say?
That you are not an angel
And I am not a saint
Wastin' all my money
On small town trinkets
I lost my silver spoon
And I won't be coming home
Carry on
Carry, carry on
I wonder who it is
Whisperin' in your ear
Hush hush little one
Let me back in your life
Take me to the morning
Pretending that I got it made
Cool lips to the bottle
To hell with everyone

Well according to the shadows
We should be getting home
According to the shadows
We should be getting on
With your lucky lucky fingers
And your caterpillar eyes
I promise to be gentle
And I promise to be nice

Some love is short, some love is long
Sing to the ghosts of a dream gone wrong
A new style hit the city
A nueva bossa craze
Dance into the future
In the old fashioned ways
Perfect your dimensions
Teeth as white as white
I promise to be gentle
And I promise to be nice

Well raise my rent...turn the clocks back
How I wish it could last forever
Flies the size of cigarette packs
I tried to pay with camel bucks
Remember remember
I'm sticking to my story
Remember remember
It's all that I have left

Darlin' lady listeners
My friends all make me sick
Listeners of the future
Come on and help me quick
Do you remember stumbling home?
Do you remember dancing alone?

Four thousand days
I'm sticking to my story
Four thousand days
It's all that I have left
I got patches on my eyes
Got pillows on my head
Singing chacha 2000
I need to get to bed

In thirty-three locations high
In northern California
Space angels show the way
Space brothers save the day
It's nothin' but an overtone
From a distant land unknown
Unfavorable omens in the sky
You got no time to waste
The world is hard to understand
Inside my head it's rainin'
A million billion trillion stars
What's the use in tryin'?
A second chance for a second chance
She's not the loving kind
A tearless doll with plastic eyes
Have you ever seen?
Seven vodkas to the wind
Seven ways from sundown
Seventh heaven seventh veil
I was only joking
Seven vodkas to the wind
Seven steps to Satan
Seven cities made of gold
I was only joking

Well they're swapping pharmaceuticals in Mussolini Park
And they're wigglin' and wobbilin' and dozin' in the dark
And it's winter in New Jersey and it's Christmas in New York
With a giggle and a stare and a bottle and a cork
And Kristina took your photo with a needle and a spoon
But she said we got to hurry cos her dad will be home soon
And these superfreaky memories have put me in my place
But then my superfreaky memories are gone without a trace

Please excuse my eyes
Please excuse my hands
Please excuse my eyes
Put me in my place

In a dirty little room in a nasty little world
You were out of your mind you were throwin' up your hands
You were makin' crazy plans left a message on the mirror
And your mouth was making words but there was nobody there
Now the gears are rolling by and you don't get any wiser
And the years are rolling on but you're going round and round
And these superfreaky memories have put me in my place
But my superfreaky memories are gone without a trace

Where is he going?
What has he done?
What's to become of him
I wrote a speech to my dad
Twenty-one pages long
He twisted my jokes and swallowed their meanings

I lay awake counting one, two and three,
It's alright, it's alright
I fell asleep
Counting eight, ten and four
It's okay

A twelve year old math wiz
Came to me in my sleep
He knew all the answers
Which he kept to himself
He said I'd hate to be you
When the big day comes
The look on your face
Will be priceless

We used to have trials
For crimes against the mind
Don't contradict yourself
Not today

Quickly fetch the lawyer
You have long to live

Words without wrinkles
Will hurt the most
Get your story straight
I've heard those sayings
"quickly fetch the lawyer,
You've nothing left to give"

Go to the window
Make love to the wind
Concentrate and listen
This is the end

A tearfilled eye
Raised to the sky
You want us all to notice
We got no choice
Listen, can you hear me?
You're goin home

Your government receptors
Are shot to hell
Your thoughts are spongy
You don't seem well

Listen, can you hear me?
You're goin home

Go to the window
Make love to the wind
Concentrate and listen
This is the end (x2)

*whistles*

He's a softly spoken tiger
In a sea of pussycats
A softly spoken tiger
Getting on the groove
Betty and Veronica
Lord I miss them so
Forgot to mail those postcards
It was a long time ago

In a city of this size
We'll never meet again
No, no. no

Well the mind is a monkey
And honey so am I
Befuddled and befiddled
In the corner of your eye
And the rustler's getting loopy
On zycoline and booze
He's gonna meet you at the airport
There's no way for him to lose

Sandpaper tongue inside my ear
Tiny hands and bloodshot eyes
I feel so sexy
With your boot in my crotch
Five o'clock shadow
Six o'clock news

East Bay Ray
And Ruby Foo
Said USA get out of my pants!
We made the world safe
For the cable news network
Light another pill
The house is on fire

Durch Strassen bevoikert
Wir laufen breit
Wir sind zufrieden
Die Nacht ist schon

Wenn du im Halbschlaf bist, in Wunderland
Und einst von mir entfernt bist
Schau in den Himmel
Die Engelshande saen Senfkomer des Wahnsinns

Schau auf die Uhr
Ich muss zu Bett
Wir tanzen zusammen
To the Tennesse Waltz

In the tiny tiny hours
Between the evening and the day
We have placed our final bets
We have come out to play
Fancy drinks a lucky toasts
I like this time the most

You're out all night
Chasin' girlies
You're late to work
And you go home earlies

Lookin' lost in chinatown
Why are we hidin' from our friends
Rushing 'round in taxi cabs
Is it time to make amends
You'll get yours and i'll get mine
You can't be lucky all the time

You're out all night
Chasin' girlies
You're late to work
And you go home earlies

cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
i had to be drunk
just to look at your face
that was all right by me

how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on

cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
you wanted to give me
some friendly advice
that was alright by me

how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on

cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
they're throwin' a party
and you're not invited
that was alright by me

how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on

Sneakin' a kiss
On the fire escape
A little game of pup tent
With a blanket and a broom
My mind is taking photographs
Of every little thing
Exhibit number 2 ...
A piece of white chocolate

And if you want me to,
I'm gonna cry you a river tonight
And if you ask me to,
I'm gonna crawl right into your dreams
And did you know,
I feel a chokin' in the back of my throat

I see you walkin'
Walkin' on tippytoes
Swayin' like a sunflower
On a Spanish afternoon
My mind is taking photographs
Of every little thing
Exhibit number 8 ...
Don't be late

You crept in
Underneath the radar
Living in a glass house
Sleeping on a glass bed
But my mind has taken photographs
Of every little thing
Honey turn around
And the shame remains

Then i painted your face
On a twenty dollar bill
But it isn't legal tender
And i think about you still
And all the comfort in words
Provide no comfort
We can all go mad together
That's what friends are for

And at the sideshow by the seashore
The girls are dressed as mermaids
An electrical storm has caught us in a trap
Maybe if i yell at you
You'll trust in what i'm sayin'
But i'm keepin' all the secrets
And i have nothing else to say

I see you comin down
Your life is flashin before ya
I see you comin round
You're talking over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

I see you comin down
Too bad there's nothing left over
I don't know what you mean
You're talkin over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

I see you wakin up
And now the day is upon ya
The party's over now
You're talkin over and over

You know I tried to please ya
You're under anesthesia

Well raise my rent...turn the clocks back
How I wish it could last forever
Flies the size of cigarette packs
I tried to pay with camel bucks
Remember remember
I'm sticking to my story
Remember remember
It's all that I have left

Darlin' lady listeners
My friends all make me sick
Listeners of the future
Come on and help me quick
Do you remember stumbling home?
Do you remember dancing alone?

Four thousand days
I'm sticking to my story
Four thousand days
It's all that I have left
I got patches on my eyes
Got pillows on my head
Singing chacha 2000
I need to get to bed

Hello, little one
And what can I say?
That you are not an angel
And I am not a saint

Wasting all my money
On small town trinkets
I lost my silver spoon
And I won't be coming home
Carry on, carry, carry on

I wonder who it is
Whispering in your ear
Hush, hush, little one
Let me back in your life

Take me to the morning
Pretending that I got it made
Cool lips to the bottle
To hell with everyone

Seventeen dreams for you
They'll all be gone tomorrow
Pull me a face
And say something witchy
It's time to get out of your bed

Some people talk like babies
Others say nothin' at all
Give me a slug
From the wonderful jug
It's time to get out of your head

Well we're travelin' light
Gonna speed through the night
Only now you recall
It means nothing at all
You were stuck in a dream
And you wanted to scream
But it's nothing at all
No it's nothin'

Don't wanna go to class
Said they could kiss you goodbye
You've got no choise
Feel like christopher boyce
Time to get out of your bed

Words you don't understand
Are all makin' sense tonight
It's hard to think straight
When you're feelin' so great
Only wanna get out of your head

Well we're travelin' light
Gonna speed through the night
Only now you recall
It means nothing at all
You were stuck in a dream
And you wanted to scream
But it's nothing at all
No it's nothing at all

Well we're travelin' light
Gonna speed through the night
But it's nothing at all
No it's nothing at all

It's true
You're lazy
You're tired
And crazy
And you know there's something more
But you can't give it a name
Someone's selling all your heroes
And they seem so tame

You heard it all before
And said your case was tragic
You heard it all before
And now they say it's magic

You need
Time off
For good
Behavior
And you know there's something else
But you can't give a name
Someone's selling all your heroes
And it seems such a shame

You heard it all before
You said your case was tragic
You heard it all before
And now they say it's magic

You heard it all before
They said your case was tragic
You heard it all before
And now they say it's magic

Left my hotel in the city
Everything was clear and set
You were on your way and sittin' pretty
That was just a bait and switch

Say a prayer
For you and me
Say a prayer
Tell me do you miss me

23 minutes in brussels
Why can't they just leave us alone
Are we gonna to get into a tussel
Cannot take an airplane home

Say a prayer
For you and me
Say a prayer
Tell me do you miss me
(repeat)

I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
And your dog refused to look at it
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
It was no bigger than a nickel

And if it don't improve
Then I have to move
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile

I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
And I decided to have a Bed In
But I forgot to invite anybody

And when I fell asleep
The neighbors had a peep
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile

When candles light themselves
And the air turns creamy
Why not take a photograph?
You look so dreamy

Then stand in the blackness
Smile at the tinkling
Blinded by lovedust
What did I see?

A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million, a billion star

I'm bad with faces
And worse with names
But the last glove is happy
Its all the same

I set a trap for you
But I'm the one who's all caught up
Blinded by lovedust
This is what I saw

A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million a billion stars
A million, a billion, a trillion stars
A million, a billion stars

I'm so tired and I did it again
Trucks are on strike
And I slept on the train
There's evil in Sweden and evil in Spain
Drinking my lunch all over again

Goddess of shadow
Lipstick and scent
Where did you land?

Apricot candles and blackberry pie
Is it a timebomb I see in your eye?
I want you forever, forever tonight
Pulling your hair and holding you tight

Goddess of shadow
Lipstick and scent
Where did you land?

Goddess of shadow
Lipstick and scent
Where did you land?

Do I?
Oh do I?
Remain in your mind?

Only to poison
The Love that we find

Desires have misplaced
My wishes are washes
The Air is filled with vibrations
I'm crying for you
You're crying for me
From station to station to station

Silent, soft beauty
Where are you now?
The tide is turning
On your mermaid eyes

Desires have misplaced
My wishes are washes
The Air is filled with vibrations
I'm crying for you
You're crying for me
From station to station to station

Well it's painful to observe
Looking at your curls
Sorry to be mean
But it's sad to be a churl
Talking to your friends is like talking to a shoe
His hair is stupid blonde
And his eyes are stupid blue

Searching for a crime
Searching for a crime
Something slipped my mind
And I am searching for a crime

In 1995 I told 1,000 lies
Let me tell you about the agony of love

Follow me
To the top
All the way
Never stop
I know I lost my cool
It's no where to be found
My Violent obsession
Stood the test of time

Searching for a crime
Searching for a crime
Something slipped my mind
And I am searching for a crime

In 1995 I told 1,000 lies
Let me tell you about the agony of love

In the tiny tiny hours
