FOREVER NOW

a banker in a tired suit
is counting in his head
he's standing in your overcoat
he's lying on your bed
president gas is tap dancing
for the banker he's a thief
he isn't very honest
but he's obvious at least

you and i are walking past yeah
having lost our way
we don't count our money
we are giving it away
yeah giving it away

this policeman is just sitting down
in sunglasses and dirt
undercover now at least
so nobody gets hurt
they go through this pantomime
they do it everyday
they'll be back again tomorrow
but they don't play for free

you and i are walking past yeah
having lost our way
we don't count our paper
we are giving it away
yeah giving it away

doesn't this remind you 
of these things we've done before
like counting all the times
we've seen ourselves in other scenes
everybody's busy
listening and pulling blinds
this is all so stupid
we're just shouting
i want you

and i are walking past yeah
having lost our way
we don't count our money
we are giving it away
yeah giving it away

let it stay forever now
let it stay forever now
let it stay forever now
let it stay forever now

LOVE MY WAY

there's an army on the dance floor
it's a fashion with a gun my love
in a room without a door
a kiss is not enough in 

love my way, it's a new road
i follow where my mind goes

they'd put us on a railroad
they'd dearly make us pay
for laughing in their faces 
and making it our way
there's emptiness behind their eyes
there's dust in all their hearts
they just want to steal us all
and take us all apart
but not in

love my way, it's a new road
i follow where my mind goes

love my way, it's a new road
i follow where my mind goes

love my way, it's a new road
i follow where my mind goes

so swallow all your tears my love
and put on your new face
you can never win or lose
if you don't run the race

GOODBYE

hello to you
hello to me
i've somewhere else to be
excuses i get all the time
your answers i don't see
today is easy 
isn't it so?
i sit and watch the radio
there's nothing coming on at all

hello to you
hello to me
ah yeah i really care
i'll see you all around sometime
i hope that i'm not there
today's news is yesterday's news
you don't remember you forget
that's the way the stories all go

hello to you
hello to me
and yes i really care
i'll see you all around sometime
if i ever go back there

goodbye to you
goodbye again
i've got to get this train
it's nine o' clock already
and i'm twenty minutes late

goodbye to you
goodbye again
problems don't exist
i'll see you at the station
you'll be standing in the rain
today is easy 
isn't it so?
the man says stop
the clock says now
it's exit time for me

goodnight to you
goodnight again
i've somewhere else to be
i'll see you all around sometime
i hope you don't miss me

goodbye to you
goodbye to you
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye to you
goodbye

ONLY YOU AND I

yeah i fell in love
like all good dreamers do
finally in anger
i gave it all to you
i never shouted it
like we do in school
and knee-jerk negativity
just never got me through

and ma she said so carefully
"you don't get a vote"
this is not a five and ten
this is not a joke

she said
it's only you
and only i
bang bang
bye bye

now i got a love
to lose myself inside
i don't need to find a face
that i can hide behind
i never shouted it
like we do in school
and knee-jerk negativity
just never got me through

but ma she said so carefully
"you don't get a vote"
this is not a five and ten
this is not a joke

she said
it's only you
and only i
bang bang
bye bye

lose yourself
lose yourself
lose yourself
lose yourself

SLEEP COMES DOWN

it's raining in my head
but no tears come down
and i'm dreaming of you
until sleep comes around

sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down

the orchestra's playing
it so very loud
and i'm biting my nails 
until sleep comes around

sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down

(sleep comes down)
(sleep comes down)
(sleep comes down)

the clouds are all running
but no tears come down 
and i'm thinking of you
until sleep comes around

sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down
sleep comes down

PRESIDENT GAS

you have to have a party
when you're in a state like this
you can really move it all
you have to vote and change
you have to get right out of it
like out of all this mess
you'll say yeah to anything
if you believe all this but

don't cry, don't do anything
no lies, back in the government
no tears, party time is here again
president gas is up for president

line up, put your kisses down
say yeah, say yes again
stand up, there's a head count
president gas on everything but roller skates

it's sick the price of medicine
stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
president gas is president gas again

he comes in from the left sometimes
he comes in from the right
it's so heavily advertised that he wants you and i
it's a real cowboy set, electric company
every day is happy days
it's hell without the sin, but

don't cry, don't do anything
no lies, back in the government
no tears, party time is here again
president gas is up for president

line up, put your kisses down
say yeah, say yes again
stand up, there's a head count
president gas on everything but roller skates

it's sick the price of medicine
stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
president gas is president gas again

president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas
oh, president gas
whoa, president gas

RUN AND RUN

go on get tarzan
go on get jane
go on get superman
go on get lois lane
hamburger mary
she's got a gun
nothing goes on all the time
and she thinks it's fun

come on
run run run run away
come on
run away
come on
run run run run away
come on
run away

doorbell plays beethoven
i open the door
yesterday's there 
and i fall on the floor
practicing makeup
she laughs at us all
hey look at you
she's seen it all before

come on
run run run run away
come on
run away
come on
run run run run away
come on
run away

come on
run run run run away
come on
run away
come on
run run run run away
come on
run away

i'm having this party
so come now please
it's an open house girl
but no games with keys
no jokes in blank humor
lines in blank verse
it couldn't get much worse
there's heroes and villains
ma b. and her boys
doing the twist
dancing with toys
i've been waiting all night for someone like you
but you'll have to do
i've been waiting all night

DANGER

love is hiding in the city
here in all of you
put the place in cages
but don't label it a zoo
get a girl inside your head
get out of the way
write yourself a postcard
when there's nothing left to say

there's danger
i believe it
wake up
it's a fight
love me 
now forever
war's on
it's now or never

mr. clean air just went past
eating chewing gum
he doesn't want to see you
he gets sick when you come
make yourself up once again
kick out in a style
ann don't let her sadness show
she paints on a smile

danger
i believe it
wake up
it's a fight
love me 
now forever
the war's on
it's now or never

always it is now
love me
in the jail [??]
pictures of the losers
crying 
that's enough

get a girl inside your head
get out of the way
write yourself a postcard
when there's nothing left to say
love is hiding in the city
hearing all of you
put the plays in cages
but don't labor in a zoo

there's danger
i believe it
wake up
it's a fight
love me 
now forever
war's on
it's now or never
now or never

NO EASY STREET

nine nine nine
the police don't come
here on easy street
all the boys in their blue suits
are lying in the heat 

you got no reaction
coming down my hall
you had no attracion
for anyone at all

all the dogs are out today
running in the sun
backing in the litter
the morning never comes

you got no reaction
knocking on my door
you had no attraction
for anyone at all

the day goes at the factory
i should be happy 
look at me
it's definately no easy street

you got no reaction
coming through my door
you had no attracion 
for anyone at all

i can see you in the plastic town
that an actor sees
i can see you stuck inside of this cage with me

you'll cry like a baby
you cry like a bird
you cry like a lady
you cry like a girl
on easy street

you'll cry like a baby
you cry like a bird
you cry like a lady
you cry like a girl
on easy street

YES I DO

we are both so second hand
we've been around
it really doesn't matter
does it anyway today?

all our lies will find us out 
when we are dreaming
it really doesn't matter
does it anyway today?

oh and yeah
i want you
oh and 
yes i do
oh and yeah
i want you
oh and 
yes i do

you're here now 
she's now and then
but anyway
it really doesn't matter
does it anyway today?

you and you're beside me
and my medicine
it really doesn't matter
does it anyway today?

oh and yeah
we want you
oh and 
yes we do
oh and yeah
we want you
oh and 
yes we do

oh and yeah
i want you
oh and 
yes i do
oh and yeah
we want you
oh and
