We All Go 03:27
Osama bin laden / thoroughly wanton / strikes a blow for heaven Airport security / makes a fool of me / every time I go a travelling War breaks the bank / thieves help it tank / they eat their free lunch I start cutting back / lose my house at that / thanks to the credit crunch Oil keeps going up / sell my truck / oh my oh so bad luck Fight or flight / Might ain’t right / I mooch another buck Try to keep my Qi / moving naturally / that will set me free Says Doctor Oz / Doctor Weil / Doctor Cosby, Doctor Welby It’s a moral desert / dust keeps blowing in my eyes I can hear the calling /a thunder pounds the darkened sky Where angels fear to tread / a million clowns and I go Pushing up and on / in search of kingdom come It’s a supermarket Hajj / and we all go. Help us William Gates / Larry Page / and Oprah Winfrey Pay the stupid debt / save our skinny necks / hear this third world plea We can see the light / Hollywood bright / at the tunnel’s end Fox is the News / I’m sure those heartless fools / want to be our friend I’m shooting over par / I want to be a big star / I’m sad with who I are I buy and buy some more / what I can’t afford / but I don’t see that far I got working overtime / but that was such a grind / I chose a life of crime Started living big as Rap / bling and all that crap / and now I’m doing mall time It’s a moral desert / dust keeps blowing in my eyes I can hear the calling / a thunder pounds the darkened sky Where angels fear to tread / a million clowns and I go Pushing up and on / in search of kingdom come It’s a supermarket Hajj / and we all go. The music of the muezzin / from the mega Mosque of malls The Synagogue of curios / in plastic gold paint stalls The opium of emporiums / plays kiss-your-sister rock The overstocked Temple / of the Big Bad Box The pilgrimage of discounts / (It's a fire sale fraud) Holy price wars rage / praise the name of the Lard A Crusade of promotions / and one time only rates Blessed low cost credit / is the toll through pearly gates The Church of Free Parking / greets mom and pop and all Is your soul worth savings? / Lines are open make the call With a rosary of coupons / pray, scratch, and save It's the Trinity of three for one / Forget about the slaves

Kicked Out 04:04
What you gonna do when I'm gone? Who's gonna take out the trash? Who's gonna cut the lawn? What you gonna do when I'm gone? Who's gonna take the kids to the store? Who's gonna fix that squeaking door? When you gonna say what I did wrong? It's been long enough to write this mournful song What you gonna do when I'm gone? Who's gonna fix those leaking pipes? Who's gonna hear all your gripes? I won't get wasted with the boys all afternoon We can go bowling baby, I won't get high, I just wanna be with you My friends, my friends They say I've got no backbone and say I just pretend And that's fine, just fine Till I say I got kicked out and now I'm moving in...with them...again Who'g gonna wash the kitchen floor? Who's gonna do every other nasty chore? Who you gonna yell at when I'm gone? With no one to poke at and dump frustrations out on? I'm willing to take the blame for the pain of years gone by I'm trying to play your game but please don't say it, please don't say goodbye My friends, my friends They say I've got no backbone and say I just pretend And that's fine, just fine Till I say I got kicked out and now I'm moving in...with them...again

It's Monday night at the laundry mat It's a hundred and five maybe more than that There's really no point in thinking anymore I'm getting drunk on paper bag wine Another bum wouldn't spare me a dime I think a Disney princess just passed out on the floor Can't move can't speak Can't laugh can't weep I'm a statue in the rain No hope no fear No joy no tear I'm a statue in the rain Statue in rain I'd rather live up high on a cul-de-sac Get good and fat and have a cardiac But with dumb blond luck I could never score I'd drink tea by a blue and fragrant sea China and a silver spoon if you please Cause self restraint is such a chore Can't move can't speak Can't laugh can't weep I'm a statue in the rain No hope no fear No joy no tear I'm a statue in the rain Statue in rain Well up in heaven there's a railway train With all the gifts of heaven it's carrying The train mans been drinking He's sleeping at the switch And down on earth I am waiting For some of what that train is carrying But a hundred prayers and he don't twitch Can't move can't speak Can't laugh can't weep I'm a statue in the rain No hope no fear No joy no tear I'm a statue in the rain Statue in rain

In a world without love Everything's a drug And everybody gets strung out On cheese cake to free base The business man to nut case Leave no room for doubt In a world without love In a world without love It's what's missing in the blood That leaves you lying on the floor The Frisco Speed Ball Popcorn and Demerol Really don't matter anymore In a world without love Elliot Ness couldn't fight this crime High wire titillation War on television Universal junkies just love to whine Re-elect the president He's doling out those drugs again In a world without love It's push and shove Cause you know They're coming back for more It's leather and bobby socks Perfume and baby talk That make for the ultimate whore In a world without love Fighting for the cause Is just buying a ticket at the door It's champagne and caviar For all those movies stars Who donated to the poor In a world without love In a world without love Elliot Ness couldn't fight this crime High wire titillation War on television Universal junkies just love to whine Re-elect the president He's rolling out those drugs again In a world without love...

Perfect Pain 03:48
I fell like Humpty Dumpty Got a broken crown Followed Peter Piper Got driven out of town I'm small as Tom Thumb Cause Cinderella dumped me Feeling so dumb I can't even get angry No relief Angel heart never wanted me It's egomania I cannot see Through this perfect pain Through this perfect pain I watch Snow White get dressed You know it made me Weepy Lonely like the rest: Grumpy, Dopey, and Sleepy A dwarf in love with her Courts a slow disaster It takes a Prince for sure To live happy ever after Consternation I'm just a baby I cannot sleep And half insane I cannot see Through this perfect pain Through this perfect pain Sorry, for feeling so strong Sorry, for being so wrong Sorry, for wanting so much to be near you I flew like Peter Pan But it felt like Hari Kari Thought I'd be the Tin Man Not too very contrary I tried to be the Wolf If only you'd adore me Anyone but myself Would make a better story Disbelief Angel Heart Never wanted me It's egomania I cannot see Through this perfect pain Through this perfect pain

Angel close your eyes it’s time for bed Upon my chest you lay your weary head No worldly woes do you need to dread Bless every step along the way You will never know a judgement day Your small and tender love Is all there is to pay For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China And when your lonely struggles start Take forgiveness to your heart On each and every day For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China For all the tears in China

Long before you’d gone I heard love’s swan song Echo in the hollow Beckon me to follow How does love so sincere End in hopeless tears? I am Bogart in the rain When will you come again? Until the stars are gone Until the seas are calm I will wait for you my love Wait for you my love I am turning grey Reckoning the days There’s no end in sight To this endless night The moon is ever still It goes against my will I wonder how much time Will finally make you mine Until the stars are gone Until the seas are calm I will wait for you my love Wait for you my love Upon the lonely hill I am restless still I flounder in my sorrow My golden calf tomorrow Another darkened sky The sunset is well-nigh Dreaming of the highland I remain an island Until the stars are gone Until the seas are calm I will wait for you my love Wait for you my love

There’s a flash across the midnight sky Baby blue I can find that fire in your eye You are the moon, I can see it You shake the world, I can feel it For one timeless breath I have no cares There’s no one else when you are near Don’t let the shadows make you cry And I will sing you a lullaby Of how someone great you'll one day be And when you’re old remember me For though I fade into the dark An ember of me is still inside your heart When you’re alone Cold as stone I’m still there When you’re in love Or lost in love I’m still there Take my silken pillow for your bed I will take your smile for daily bread The day will come when I am gone But in your heart I’ll still go on and on When you’re alone Cold as stone I’m still there When you’re in love Or lost in love I’m still there When you’re alone Cold as stone I’m still there When you’re in love Or lost in love I’m still there

Try 02:57
Do you know where we are going? I am with you but seldom told Is there a sign that we should follow? I fear the trail is turning cold Can we rest a while I’m growing weary? And take some time before we grow to old? The days are shorter now Snow is falling To save our love We must be bold Try when I speak to hear my words somehow Come in from the raging storm Or you won’t hear a sound Take this chance Take this chance And touch me Before we turn to shadows And the last moon sails the sky For chances Like sand between our fingers May slip before we’ve really tried When we were young forever We always had some place to hide It was so sad to be that foolish We can’t still Afford that pride Take to heart the words I have spoken Take to heart the love in my eyes Though every promise Was not unbroken Every hope Is still alive Try when I speak to hear my words somehow Come in from the raging storm Or you won’t hear a sound Take this chance Take this chance And touch me Before we turn to shadows And the last moon sails the sky For chances Like sand between our fingers May slip before we’ve really tried?

I'm sure my teachers' got somethin' to say But I'm hitchin' my way out of town I'm headed for the heat of Falcon Beach It's beer and bikini's all around And I'm sorry dear dad about my 'F' in math Sorry 'bout my 'F' in job But this crazy world's just gotta make you laugh Or it's gonna make you sob I know you mean every word you say But please don't wear that frown It's true I want to have my way Sometimes I am a clown I'll turn that radio down My very pretty baby is so dam hip Really lucky stars wish upon her She can jam heavy traffic with a pouting lip Or raise the dead in a sweater She looks in my eyes I can see the sky And hear the sweet ever after And a million years lessons in true love lie In her passion and her laughter I know you mean every word you say But please don't wear that frown It's true I want to have my way Sometimes I am a clown I'll turn that radio (,2,3,4) Turn that radio I know you mean every word you say But please don't wear that frown It's true I have to have my way Sometimes I am a clown But I promise there will come a day I will make you proud And I promise there will come a day I'll turn that radio down (I'll turn that radio down) "Turn that Radio" I hear what you say "Turn that Radio" I hear what you say...

Take Me 02:32
Well I've been thinking about you and me And the good old way we used to be Some things I've said well I regret Some things you dread well I ain't done yet Just take me, take me as I am A simple soul in a simple man Got no secrets, got no plans Just take me as I am .. as I am Well I've been wondering what will be Watching over my destiny The past you might as well forget A sunrise looks much like a sunset Just take me, take me as I am A simple soul in a simple man Got no secrets, got no plans Just take me as I am What comes must go I dare say The two of us will see that day But until we do let's live right Seize the day and dance the night Just take me, take me as I am A simple soul in a simple man Got no reasons, got no plan Just take me as I am Just take me, take me as I am A simple soul in a simple man Got no secrets, got no plans Just take me as I am .. as I am

Elly 03:20
Don't cry Elly It'll be alright Feeling sad in the morning And sad all through the night Don't cry Elly You love your baby It'll be alright You're a new momma And it's true Sometimes a baby Can make you cry the blues But don't cry mama You're not alone Elly It'll be alright In a very little time The world will seem so fine And the baby crying Will laugh Hear the chimes Of song and nursery rhymes Give them a sign And laugh Don't cry Daddy You gotta be a man Do the best, the best that you can For your baby, for your Elly Don't cry Daddy It'll be alright In a very little time The world will seem so fine And the baby crying Will laugh Hear the chimes Of song and nursery rhymes Give them a sign And laugh You don't really have to fight You can see the morning light They love you Elly with all their might It'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright
