I'm a big tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
And I'm waiting and reading parts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Zeus and Athena
Florida Driveway
Asphalt and tires
Sand and the beach
Rocker panel
Headlights in the dark...
I am drag racing

Drive

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Fog and the distance behind it
Boats in the quiet morning noises...
I'm walking the shoreline
A beer and a cigarette...
A bug with twitching antennae
A button-up short sleeve shirt...

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

I'm a big tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes I'm Winning Spinning
I feel energy
Moving off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I'm careening down !
Winding the canyons, now !
Yes, I am broadcasting myself !

What a pretty life you have
Oh boy, it's a pretty life you have
And I would need a map
Just so I could navigate the backyard

Home is very ordinary
I know I was born to lead a double life
Of murder, strife, and misery
And when I find it, I know I'll make sense of me

I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved, be involved, be involved, be involved
I would be involved with you

I know the girls that live inside your world
Just sitting next to a mortal makes their skin crawl

I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you

I wanna be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved, be involved, be involved, be involved
I would be involved with you
With you

Johnny Feelgood Johnny Right-On
Jonny miss you Johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself

Moderation is a memory
Dive on in and let him send me
I could take this in doses large enough to kill me

And I never met a man who was so pretty inside
He's got diamonds in the bed of his thumbnails
And I never realized I was so dirty and dry
Till he knocked me down
Started dragging me around
In the back of his convertible car

And I liked it
Let me tell you I liked it more and more

And I never met a man who was so pretty inside
He's got petals in the in the bed of his sweat sock drawer
Who the fuck am I to criticize
Cause I really need him now
In fact I'm kinda freakin out
And I'm wondering where the hell you are

Johnny Feelgood Johnny Right-On
Jonny miss you Johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself

And I never met a man I was so crazy about
It kinda has become an obsession to me
I hate him all the time
But I still get up when he knocks me down
And he orders me around
Cause it loosens me up
And I can't get enough
And pay to spend the night with him some more

And I liked it
Let me tell you I liked it more and more
I liked it
I liked it
I really liked it more and more

I was talking not two days ago
to a certain bartender I'm lucky to know
I asked Henry my bartending friend
If I should bother dating unfamous men

And Henry said
You're lucky to even know me
you're lucky to be alive
You're lucky to be drinking here for free
Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky pretty eyes

And then he said
Do ya wanna be a polyester bride
Do ya wanna hang your head and die
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly
away from here

I was sitting not two days ago
Feeling lonely cause I'm just feeling low
And I asked Henry my bartending friend
Why it is that there are those kind of men

And Henry said
You're lucky to even know me
you're lucky to be alive
You're lucky to be drinking here for free
Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky pretty eyes

And then he said
Do ya wanna be a polyester bride
Do ya wanna hang your head and die
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly
away from here

Cause you've got tim
e he keeps telling me
You've got time
But I don't believe him
You've got time
Keep on pushing harder
I keep on pushing farther away
He keeps telling me maybe
He says maybe

Do ya wanna be a polyester bride
Do ya wanna hang your head and die
Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly
away from here

You thought I was something from afar
You thought I totally excite you

I guess it's just another thing
I'll stand up close and ignite you

But it is nothing, nothing, nothing
Like they say
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday

You were telling me the friends we have in common
By the time I figured it out you were yawning

But it's nothing, nothing, nothing

Like they say
You gotta get up and work the people
Every day

I thought who am I
Who's this guy
Would I lie
To make the day come into the night

But it is nothing, nothing, nothing
Like they say
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday

But it's nothing, nothing, nothing
Like they say
You gotta get up and work the people
Every day

Baby got going on a southern train
You know I fired up pistons
Drop my load
You know the whole operation
seat upholstery
silky underwear
All conductor

Let's roll roll roll

Baby got goin but I can't complain
You know it knocks me out that she acts so strange
Like a big mack truck at a cross two lanes
My soul conductor Let's throw the pedal down

Let's roll roll roll

My baby got goin' when train kepta rollin'
My baby got goin' when train kepta rollin' (Male Voice)
My baby got goin' when train kepta rollin'

Squeeze her knees on an even book
You know a real good shakin' alls it took
So my baby's hooked on me
And as you can see I'm wild about her

Baby got goin but I can't complain
You know it knocks me out that she acts so strange
Like a big mack truck at a cross two lanes
My soul conductor Let's throw the pedal down

Let's roll roll roll

She gets mad when it gets to slow
So I beg you man keep a shovelin' that coal

Let's roll roll roll

There's a portrait of Uncle Alvarez
Hangin' in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But Uncle Alvarez sees us all

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet

He's not really a part Cherokee Indian
He didn't fight in the Civil War
He's just Eugene Isaac Alvarez
We feel sorry for the wall

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
You're gonna make 'em sorry when you die

And it's a long way down
You're hoping for a heart attack
Running around
Investing in this and that
And your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you
Safe in the bedroom
Where there's no dust or mildew
And it's hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer

Better just to shake it off
As you write your resume
Don't think of Uncle Alvarez
And the price he had to pay

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
You're gonna make 'em sorry when you die

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
Better send some money to the alma mater

All these babies are born
to the wrong kind of people
And I wish I had Known
I was not good enough
I'm the worst kind of son
Bringing shame to my family
And I know I'd have worn my mother's heart out
Believe me I saw it
I saw it coming

All these things I have done
To my little sister
When I try to support her
She don't believe me
Why should I hurt her
I mean I hurt her

So goodbye So long
I'm gone already
I'm runnin out of time
I'm losing my mind
won'tcha come take me home

So goodbye So long
I'm gone already
I'm runnin out of time
I'm losing my mind
Won't somebody hold me

All these babies are born
Like a field full of poppies
Who's gonna know which are charmed
I believe I'll soon leave the meadow
I see my shadow

So goodbye So long
I'm gone already
I'm runnin out of time
I'm losing my mind

So goodbye So long
I'm gone already
I'm runnin out of time
I'm losing my mind
I think I'm losing my soul

You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
When you sleep I am near to you

You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets,
I don't recognize you
You say you're a ghost in our house and I realize
I do think I see through you

It's a death in our love that has brought us here
It's a birth that has changed our lives
It's a place that I hope we'll be leaving soon
And i fear for the year in his eyes

And it goes around in circles: one night is lovely,
The next is brutal
And you and I are in way over our heads with this one,
It's hard to admit it, but you hold me and I can't feel you
We hurt but we smile
I promise I'll make it back when the summer has warmed me awhile

I can see the Russian army rollin' through my head
And on one side of me lies the enemy
The other half is dead

And I've got diamonds and I've got pearls
And I said, "Hey, mister, won't you come for me?
And you can take me home, but I will never be your girl.
And I won't let your mystery unfurl."

That's the whole thing about it
I'm so in love today
And I've been waitin' at the bus stop
On my way

Hey, mister, won't you come for me?
I'm a psychosomatic sister running around without a leash
You can take me home, but I will never be your girl
And I won't let your mystery unfurl

With the Russian army runnin' through my mind
Snow is falling, January's all across my head

And I stand on the landfill with ditches behind me
And I think I'm the last survivor

And I said, "Hey, mister, won't you come for me?
I'm a psychosomatic sister running around without a leash.
You can take me home, but I will never be your girl.
And I won't let your mystery unfurl."

As I stumble into bed,
I curse the devil in my head
And if I die before I wake
I hope the lord won't hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see,
The flies of August swarming me...

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I'm digging in

Well I don't know, but I've been told
The road to heaven is paved with gold
And if I die before I wake
I need a ride
From you

Well sticks and stones can break my bones
And boys can make me kick and moan
But when I want it autodrive, I get a ride
From you

I get a ride
98.5

But don't worry mom
I met him in a restaurant
And all this time I've been getting to know him
He's got an ex-wife in Pasadena
And sometimes she's a mess to deal with
But mostly we've been living here uninjured

There's a silence as she says
Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Knowing that you love me if you don't care

I'm sending you this photograph
I swear this one is gonna last
And all those other bastards were only practice
I feel the sun on my back
I smell the earth in my skin
I see the sky above me like a full recovering

Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Knowing that you love me if you don't care

Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make a difference if you're not married

Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Knowing that you love me if you don't care

Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Knowing that you love me if you don't care

He's a friend of mine
Kind of special guy
He's a runaround

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
I hear people are talking about us
And I just have to say
I lie awake every night
Thinking about you, I fantasized
All around us, people changing

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
I hear people are talking about us

He's a special guy
Kind of sentimental inside

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
I hear people are talking about us
That's okay with me
Get over it easily
On the inside

Louis is probably thirty years old
But he looks like a solid 45
Louis says he's got a headache
I look in his eyes, and I believe him
The big L.K.'s and the gangster disciples
Louis can't think of what else could take over,
But he just can't get up in the morning
A genuine face, braced for survival...

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don't really see it that way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money

Don't know how many times you were stuck in the morning
You just couldn't move, though your mother was calling
You know what you need
Is a Lotto revival
A train flashes by and you're lost in a spiral...

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don't really see it that way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money

Take the train on up to the zoo
Don't look back on what you've been through
Cause everyone's got a Monday...
It looks like shit and it must be America
It burns so quick,
Then it must be America

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don't really see it that way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
That would surely include lots of money.
You have got to have shitloads of
M-O-N-E-Y, money

I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the sky
I'm sleeping in the water
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room tonight

Here comes Tiffany, my best friend Tiffany
Wearing a size-too-small of sweater
Me and Tiffany, dressing up pretty
We love to ride, we love to canter
My best friend Tiffany, she is so popular
We're going from sight-to-sight and pool-to-pool tonight

And we hear Terri say that Trisha's okay
But she ought to learn to shave her bikini line better
And Tauren was born, like her mother, in a storm
And Tracy's been away forever

I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the sky
I'm sleeping in the water
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room
I'm sleeping in the girls' room tonight
