Driver Eight - "Watermelon" (TN1051)
1. watermelon
once upon a longer time we fell over
thought that we could do it by ourselves
you and me are happy thieves sleeping nightly
take your lips and rest them on a shelf, ask yourself
watermelon it's your insides that your selling
watermelon take a bite, wipe your mouth, walk away
handle words like singing birds you my keeper
tell me everything that I should know
thank you fans this happy man knows what's deeper
hold me hard and never let me go
I can't see who you are, what you are
2. polish
you've got me blown away
and what else could I say
i feel like I'm the one
at least I'm part of some...half of us is one
polish this one off
there's love inside of you
please tell me what to do
if you'd open up my door
i'd only want some more
3. cheers
if I left the light on would you wait or could you take it all i need is
not to know the
anything you speak to me and if you open up this thing again i'll punch you out
your right and I don't care what you say
all i want is mindless chatter "cheers" i just needed all the times I
felt responsible well
that's the game i'll play you like a matador or else i'll punch you
4. strange
take hold of the sound, if there's a better way you had better stay close
it makes no sense, i saw something there, something over there
you can have it down
drive myself to town
you can have it down
it's so beyond me I can say, it's so strange
5. getting this thing to go
you're upside down, you're all worked out
it's easier to see it when your going down
my mind has sped, one hundred years ahead
it's easier to see it when you lose your head
that's when I catch you on the way to feel...that's when i make my plans
nothing new, like black and blue
it's easier to see it when I wait for you
it's full of holes, these hands I fold
it's easier to see it when I lose control
that's when I catch you on the way to feel...that's when i make my plans
you're a thing of beauty
when you see right through me
i suppose, if only i could get this thing to go
6. waiting for Godot
scary where you go, at night there's no one home, scary where you go
if the kids are all O.K. then how did they get hear, still waiting for Godot
just make this feeling go and I'll be happy
make it go away and i'll be sad
cause I am bigger than I thought i could be
just save me if it all comes crashing
tell me where you go when all the deals are blown, tell me where you go
funny how it is when you must invent, funny how it is
everywhere you go the smiles are plastiscene, everywhere you go
psycho-analyzed and puzzled ear to ear, well at least you tried
7. brown paper bag
you love to sit it down, you hold your tired crown
so tired of looking so far from trucking
you said it's a crazy time i said it crossed your mind
you'll find another, you've found another inside it's not the same
had enough of you...it's true
it's in my paper bag, i know it's such a drag
so far from looking so far from trucking
you said you know you well, i said that i can't tell
you'll find another, you've found another, inside it's not the same
i'll see your love suffer and i'll see your fire burn out
8. drive
finally got this thing in gear and now we're gone won't see things
funny how these dots and lines can ease your mind and take me away
the way back home
winding in and out of sleep and fairy tales if things we've seen
the air is hotter then when we were standing still take me away
the way back home
9. sunbittern
I wanna sit you down, i wanna find you out, are you gonna stay
I'm gonna take you there, take you to the fair, you said you had to go to places
way
far out there, go to places i can't go there and i'll...fly away
i'm gonna treasure you, i'm gonna ask you to, take some time for tea
you said you had to go to some place i don't know strawberries in spring won't
happen til we get there, through the ocean blue like rainbows do fly...fly away
can i run and hold you down
airplanes and telegrams
visit if you can
10. carrousel
find the window sill fastner
find the will to go faster
flip the switch and dream the star around the block in harold's car
find the will to go faster
everything you swore you wanted
lay every kiss down
oh you came you taunted
around in circles spinning around
tell us what you're after
cause every body here's an actor
talk real big and ride around til you get sick
tell us all what your after
11. superglue
i know i don't feel so fine and she knows i don't feel so fine
and she knows i have spent the time
so tie my eyes behind my back, so next time i can see behind
call it all the stuff you want to
put my heart back with some superglue
super dreams are silly stupid things
now i know
feel my hand won't it be grand to stay this way today no end
just knock me down you'll see no frown,
just kiss me where it hurts
call it all the stuff you want to
put my heart back i don't want you to
super dreams are big and wild things
now i love
