Burning Down The House

Watch out you might get what you're after

Cool babies strange but not a stranger

I'm an ordinary guy

Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over

Hold tight We're in for nasty weather

There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard

The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are

Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat

Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees

Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself

Gonna come in first place

People on their way to work baby what did you except

Gonna burst into flame

My house S'out of the ordinary

That's might Don't want to hurt nobody

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet

Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet

Everything's stuck together

I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire

Making Flippy Floppy

Nothing can come between us

Nothin gets you down

Nothing strikes your fancy

Nothing turns you on

Somebody is waiting in the hallway

Somebody is falling down the stairs

Set someone free, break someone's heart

Stand up help us out

Ev'rything is divided

Nothing is complete

Ev'rything looks impressive

Do not be deceived

You don't have to wait for more instructions

No one makes a monkey out of me

We lie on our backs, feet in the air

Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain

Snap into position

Bounce till you ache

Step out of line

And you end up in jail

Bring me a doctor

I have a hole in my head

But they are just people

And I'm not afraid

Doctor Doctor

We have nothing in our pockets

We continue

But we have nothing left to offer

Faces pressed against the window

Hey! they are just my friends

Check this out don't be slick

Break our backs it goes like this . . .

We are born without eyesight

We are born without sin

And our mama protects us

From the cold and the rain

We're in no hurry

sugar and spice

We sing in the darkness

We poen our eyes (open up)

I can't believe it

And people are strange

Our president's crazy

Did you hear what he said

Business and pleasure

Lie right to your face

Divide it in sections

And then give it away

There are no big secrets

Don't believe what you read

We have great big bodies

We got great big heads

Run-a-run-a-run it all together

Check it out - still don't make no sense

Makin' flippy floppy

Tryin to do my best

Lock the door

We kill the beast

Kill it!

Girlfriend is Better

I . . . Who took the money?

Who took the money away?

I . . . It's always showtime

Here at the edge of the stage

I, I, I, wake up and wonder

What was the place, what was the name?

We wanna wait, but here we go again...

I . . . takes over slowly

But doesn't last very long

I . . . no need to worry

Evr'ything's under control

O - U - T But no hard feelings

What do you know? Take you away

We're being taken for a ride again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

She has the smoke in her eyes

She's moving up, going right through my house

She's ginna give me surprise

Better than this, know that It's right

I think you can if you like

I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair

And nothing is better than that

Down, down in the basement

We hear the sound of machines

I, I, I'm driving in circles

Come to my senses sometimes

Why, why, why, why start it over?

Nothing was lost, everthing's free

I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear

Get closer to be far away

Only one look and that's all that we need

Maybe that's all that it takes

All that it takes, all that it takes

I got a girlfriend that's betther than that

And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

Now everyone's getting involved

She's moving up going right through my heart

We might not ever get caught

Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying cool

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend thats better that this

And you don't remember at all

As we get older and stop making sense

You won't find her waiting long

Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And nothing is better that this

( is it? )

Slippery People

What about the time?

You were rollin' over

Fall on your face

You must be having fun

Walk lightly!

Think of a time.

You'd best believe

This think is real

Put away that gun

This part is simple

Try to recognize

What is in you mind

God help us!

Help us loose our minds

These slippery people

help us understand

what's the matter with him? He's alright!

I see his face The lord won't mind

Don't play no games He's alright

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel He's alright

See for yourself The lord won't mind

We're gonna move Right now

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

I remember when

Sittin' in the tub

Pulled out the plug

The water was runnin' out

Cool down

Stop acting crazy

They're gonna leave

And we'll be on our own

Seven times five

They were living creatures

Watch 'em come to life

Right before your eyes

Backsliding!

How do you do?

These slippery people

Gonna see you through

I Get Wild / Wild Gravity

Fooled around enough with numbers

Let's not be ourselves today

Is it just my imagination

Is it just someone's fave

Pleasantly out of proportion

It's hard to hold on to the ground

Now I didn't come to run

And this is everything

And gravity lets you down

I get wild, wizing up

I just can't let go

I get wild when I get ready

I can hardly talk

Living lights

Special lights

Yellow turns blue

I get wild It's automatic

I can hardly move

Go ahead and pull the curtains

Check to see if I'm still here

Let me lose my perspective

Something worth waiting for

Somewhere in South Carolina

And gravity don't mean a thing

And all around the world

Each and ev'ryone

Playing with a heart of steel

I get up climbing out

How did I get home?

I'll survive the situation

Somebody shut the door

Beautiful

Climbing up the wall

I get by on automatic

No surprise at all

No one here can recognize you

Here is ev'rything that you like

Feelings without explanations

Somethings are hard to describe

The sound of a cigarette burning

A place there where ev'rything spins

And the sounds inside your mind

Is playing all the time

Playing with a heart of steel

I get wild, wizing up

I just can't let go

I get wild when I get ready

I can hardly talk

Red 'n' white black to gold

Yellow turns blue

I get wild It's automatic

I can hardly move

I get up pushing up

How did I get home?

I'll survive the situation

Somebody shut the door

Shut the door

Climbing up the wall

I get by on automatic

No surprise at all

Swamp

Now lemme tell you a story

The devil he has a plan

A bag a' bones in his pocket

Got anything you want

No dust and no rocks

The whole thing is over

All these beauties in solid motion

All those beauties, gonna swallow you up

Hi hi hi hi hi,

One time too many

Too far to go

I- We come to take you home

And when they split those atoms

It's hotter than the sun

Blood is a special substance

They gonna pray for that man

So wake up young lovers

The whole thing is over

Watch but touch monkeys

All that blood, gonna swallow you whole

Hi hi hi hi hi

What's that? Who's driving?

Where we goin'? Who knows?

I- We come to take you home

How many people do you think I am

Pretend I am somebody else

You can pretend I'm and old millionaire

A millionaire washing his hands

Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out

A medical chart on the wall

Soft violence and hands touch your throat

Ev'ryone wants to explode

And when your hands get dirty

Nobody knows you at all

Don't have a window to slip out of

Lights on, nobody home

Click click- see ya later

Beta beta- no time to rest

Pika pika- risky business

All that blood, will never cover that mess.

Hi hi hi hi hi

So soft hard feelings

What's that, who's driving

No tricks lets go

I- We come to take you home

Hi hi hi hi hi

etc.

Moon Rocks

Flying saucers, levitation

Yo! I could do that

Get ready, for heavy duty

Go one, give it a chance

I saw your hair start to curl

So get up, write it down

You better wait for a while

So take your hands out of your pockets

And get your face adjusted

I heard it, somebody lied

And I'm staring out the window

Gonna let this thing continue

In it's natural time

Roundheads squareheads

Get settled in

You can hear my belly rumble

There's a voice that starts to mumble

Woo! It's starting to sing

Protons, neutrons

I ate a rock from the moon

Got shicked once; shocked twice

Let's see, what it can do

Man in the moon, moon in the man

I got a rock in my throat

Upside, up side down

My tummy start to talk . . . (what it say?)

Gonna rock it 'till I shock it

Gonna kick it 'till I drop it

Woo! Love at first sight

You can kick it, You can poke it

Ooh, I think you broke it

What about that!

Skin from a snake, blood from a stone

You know, that ain't no lie

I got hundreds of expressions

Try to make a good impression

Woo! Right between the eyes

I don't mind - let me go

Sounds inside - I don't know

Let me be - why not stay

I feel numb - let me play

I got wild imagination

Talkin' transubstantiation

Any version will do

I got mass communication

I'm the human corporation

I ate a rock from the moon

Moon in the rock, rock in the moon

There's a moon in my throat

You might think I'm wasting time

You might laugh but not for long

Hey! I'm working it out . . . (work it out)

I don't mind - let me go

Sounds inside - I don't know

Let me be - why not stay

I feel numb - let me play

Pull up the Roots

Hello again

Yes indeed my friend

I can tell

Goin' get together again

I could be right

I could b ewrong

I feel nice when I sing this song

And I don't mind

Whatever happens is fine

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .

What do I know, what do I know?

Wilder than the place we live in . . .

I'll take you there, I'll take you there

I don't mind some slight disorder . . .

Pull up the roots pull up the roots

And I know ev'ry living creature . .

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

And I know you

I understand what you do

Yes, indeed

I put the hat on my head

Come outa your mess

Bring yourself in

I feel nice when I start to sing

And I can see

Ev'ryone else is like me

Towns that dissapeared completely . . .

Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

Miles and miles of endless highway . . .

Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

Colored lights and shiney curtains . . .

I'll take you there, I'll take you there

Ev'rything has been forgiven . . .

Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind

And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there

And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground

Gonna take us a while . . . but we'll go hundreds of times

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .

What d'you know? what d'you I know?

Wilder than the place we live in . . .

I'll take you there, I'll take you there

And I don't mind some slight disorder . . .

Pull up the roots pull up the roots

And no more time for talkin' it over . . .

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind

And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there

And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground

Someone musta been high . . . but I guess it's alright

This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)

Home is where I want to be

Pick me up and turn me round

I feel numb - burn with a weak heart

(So I) guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it the better

Make it up as we go along

Feet on the ground

Head in the sky

It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time

Hi yo you got light in your eyes

And you're standing here beside me

I love the passing of time

Never for money

Always for love

Cover up + say goodnight . . . say goodnight

Home - is where I want to be

But I guess I'm already there

I come home - - she lifted up her wings

Guess that this must be the place

I can't tell one from another

Did I find you, or you find me?

There was a time Before we were born

If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be

Hi yo We drift in and out

Hi yo sing into my mouth

Out of all tose kinds of people

You got a face with a view

I'm just an animal looking for a home

Share the same space for a minute or two

And you love me till my heart stops

Love me till I'm dead

Eyes that light up, eyes look through you

Cover up the blank spots

Hit me on the head Ah ooh
