one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do two can be as bad as one it's the loneliest number since the number one
"no" is the saddest experience you'll ever know yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
it's just no good anymore since you went away now i spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know one is the loneliest number one is the loneliest number one is the loneliest number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do one is the loneliest number much, much worse than two one is a number divided by two
Oh, for the sake of momentum I've allowed my fears to get larger than life And it's brought me to my current agendum Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive
And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine
Oh, for the sake of momentum Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day But I hate to think of effort expended All those minutes and days and hours I have frittered away.
And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine
But I can't confront the doubts I have I can't admit that maybe the past was bad And so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death So it can match the past.

She's been a long time on the phone Courting disaster in an undertone She's feeling nostalgic and feeling that fall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall Maybe it's one where time will tell Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well I hear her coming As she walks down the hall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall I know the choice is made I can tell, I said By your guilty face And I never was one to fight it How does anyone ever fight it You couldn't pin this one on me You knew my thoughts so far as I could see Well, I'd say it's hopeless But you make the call 'Cause I never was one to fight it And if given the chance I guess I'll learn to Build that wall Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Oooooooooo Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build That Wall
Now that I've met you would you object to never seeing each other again cause I can't afford to climb aboard you no one's got that much ego to spend
So don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely
Cause I'm just a problem for you to solve and watch dissolve in the heat of your charm but what will you do when you run it through and you can't get me back on the farm
So don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely
You're on your honor cause I'm a goner and you haven't even begun so do me a favor if I should waver be my savior and get out the gun
Just don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely
At least you know you were taken by a pro I know just how you feel She talked a perfect game deflecting all the blame you took the jack and changed the flat and got behind the wheel-- now you're Driving sideways taken in by the scenery as you're propelled along And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong
And you will say that you're making headway and put it in overdrive but you're mistaking speed for getting what you need and never even noticing you never do arrive cause you're Driving sideways if you roll down the window you'll see you're where you don't belong And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong
And you're powered by the hopeful lie that it's just around the bend and when this, by default comes screeching to a halt let's hope that you know what to do to start it up again
Driving sideways hitting scan on the radio so she can sing along and she'll sit thinking you're going to handle it until she's proven wrong until she's proven wrong until you prove her wrong
You stay the night at his house with no ride to work and I'm the one who tells you he's another jerk but you're the one who can succeed you've only got to prove your need-- and you do you really do
The sex you're trading up for what you hope is love is just another thing that he'll be careless of but though there are caveats galore you've only got to love him more-- and you do you really do even when it's all too clear
You write a little note that you leave on the bed and spend some time dissecting every word he said and if he seemed a little strange well, baby--anyone can change and you do you do you really do
Once upon a time is how it always goes but I'll make it brief what was started out with such excitement now I'd gladly end end with relief in what now has become a familiar motif:
That nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all
Critics at their worst could never criticize the way that you do no, there's no one else, I find, to undermine or dash a hope quite like you and you do it so casually, too
Cause nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all
Ladies and gentlemen-- here's exhibit A didn't I try again? And did the effort pay? Wouldn't a smarter man simply walk away?
It doesn't really help that you can never say what you're looking for but you'll know it when you hear it, know it when you see it walk through the door So you say-- so you've said many times before
But nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all
It's not what you thought When you first began it You got what you want Now you can hardly stand it though By now you know it's not Going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up
you're sure there's a cure And you have finally found it You think one drink will shrink you 'til you're underground and living down But it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up
Prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up
You look like a perfect fit For a girl in need of a tourniquet
But can you save me Come on and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone
'Cause I can tell You know what it's like The long farewell of the hunger strike
But can you save me Come on and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone
You struck me dumb like radium Like Peter Pan or Superman
You will come to save me C'mon and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone 'Cept the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone But the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone
C'mon and save me Why don't you save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone Except the freaks who could never love anyone
He's a serious Mister shake his hand and he'll twist your arm with monopoly money we'll be buying the funny farm So I'll do flips, and get paid in chips from a diamond as big as the Ritz-- then I'm calling it quits Eyes the color of candy lies to cover the handicap though your slippers are ruby you'll be led to the booby trap And there's no prize, just a smaller size so I'm wearing the shoe til it fits-- then I'm calling it quits Now he's numbering himself among the masterminds cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines lifting dialogue from Judy Garland storylines where get-tough girls turn into goldmines But oh, those polaroid babies taking chances with rabies happy to tear me to bits-- well, I'm calling it quits Yes, I'm calling it quits.
Two of us riding nowhere Spending someone's Hard earned pay you and me Sunday driving Not arriving On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home
Two of us sending postcards Writing letters On my wall You and me burning matches Lifting latches On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home
You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home
You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home
Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds....................
It's not what you thought when you first began It You got what you want now You can hardly stand It, though by now you know It's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'til you wise up You're sure there's a cure and You have finally found it you think one drink
Will shrink you til you're underground And living down but it's not going to stop It's not going to stop it's not going to stop 'til you wise up prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away and do the deed Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop no, it's not going to stop 'til you wise up no, it's not going to stop 'til you wise up no, it's not going to stop So just give up
I'm told the case is now closed So I can come to my senses But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense
I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping but you're an amateur I was hoping that you'd know better But I've been wrong before
Despite conclusions I drew There was a chance you'd surprise me And you'd be better than you 'Cause I'd have left otherwise
I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping but you're an amateur I was hoping that you'd know better But I've been wrong before
So I wasn't thinking clearly So you didn't think at all I thought that was protocol

Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best
I wasn't looking, but somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
Nobody does it better Sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Do you have to be so good
The way that you hold me whenever you hold me There's some kind of magic inside you That keeps me from runnning but just keep it coming How'd you learn to do the things you do
Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby baby, oh baby, you're the best Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best (Baby, you're the best) Baby, you're the best (Baby, you're the best) Baby, you're the best (Baby, you're the best) Baby, you're the best (Baby, you're the best)
Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces, Whatever happened to the faces or the glow. Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living? Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow? Remember the sights and the smells and the sounds, And remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all? Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets are ringing, Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know. Where was I, and whatever happened to you? Whatever happened to Christmas and you?
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Can help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways,
