Текст песни:

I think you′re trying to scare me
So that I will stop thinking about you
I think you′re trying to scare me
So that I will stop trying to be you
It′s not that easy
It′s not that easy

I laughed when I heard you died
′Cause I didn′t know what else I was gonna do
Now I laugh when I see you alive
′Cause I think you′re just pulling my leg
It′s not that easy
It′s not that easy

Well, it must have taken a whole lot of anger
And it must have taken a whole lot of time
And I can′t believe that you found me after all these years
I guess you must have something heavy on your mind

And I can′t believe that you thought I′d be happy
To see you up and around, like it′s any warning
You look like shit, and the smell is even better
And I feel like shit, and I wanna go back to bed

You can walk through walls
You can make the head on a doll spin around
And you can haunt the halls
But you can′t ask me to make you feel at home
It′s not that easy

Текст песни:

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

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Zeus and Athens
Florida driveway
Asphalt and tires
Sand and the beach
Rocker panel
Headlights in the dark
I am drag racing
Drag

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Fog and the distance beyond it
Boats and the quiet morning noises
I′m walking the shoreline
A beer and a cigarette
A bug with twitching antennae
A button-up short sleeved shirt

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled 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 being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m careening down / Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good

Текст песни:

The last time we made love you said my name to make me come
But it was just a speaking offer
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing

I can wake up any day
And see a million things that I could say
But then you′re just an easy target
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing
And nothing means nothing

Each time the world turns ′round
It doesn′t make a fucking sound
It doesn′t mean that we don′t feel it
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing
And nothing means nothing

So if you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
It′s in my kiss, that′s where it is
It′s in my kiss, that′s where it is

Do you love me ′cause I am in the mood?
Do you love me for a funky groove?
Do you love me ′cause I can mash potato?
Do you love me ′cause I′m an alligator?

Singing oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa

Do you love me ′cause I can walk on water?
Do you love me ′cause I′m the President′s daughter?
Do you love me ′cause I am queen of England?
Do you love me just ′cause I′m sitting here singing?

Oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa
Oooh, whoa, whoa

So if you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
It′s in my kiss, that′s where it is
It′s in my kiss, that′s where it is

So the next time we make love
Drop the words, just do the stuff
Speak softly and use that big stick
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing

Текст песни:

For the rest of my days I want you by my side
Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life
′Cause I can never relax
I′ve got to keep it exciting
Make it attractive
Keep it alive
Keep you coming back
I′m always so frightened you′ll see through my act
When the fire is out and I′ve given up
You come running out, and you build it up

You tell me good love never dies
It only hurts when we burn our eyes
From staring too long at the sun
You gotta throw your hands up
And let the night come

Spoken: I like watching you out there. It′s comforting.

Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life
All the words slip away when I look in your eyes
Because I can never relax
I′ve got to keep it exciting
Make it attractive
Keep it alive
Keep you coming back
I′m already fighting to keep what I have
When the fire is out and I′ve given up
You come running out, and you build it up

You tell me good love never dies
It only hurts when we burn our eyes
From staring too long at the sun
You gotta throw your hands up
And let the night come
Take your chances

Текст песни:

You fall hard, you fall deep
Even when you′re awake, you look half asleep
Do you even know what you did last summer?
Wandering around that dumb and blind
With the girls all hanging around you

Is that a no or yes?
We′ll have to guess
Mysterious eyes let you see what you want
Half the time you didn′t know any better, but half the time you did
Hanging around like tomorrow doesn′t apply to you

Lazy dreamer
You never want to rise
Seven in between us you′re almost paralyzed
Makes no difference to you the sun shining in your eyes

Текст песни:

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn′t going under
He′s got the studs lined up in their stalls
Put a couple of bills in, you see six minutes of balls

Justine has got a plastic baggie on her dick
Cherry′s got a couple Prince Alberts through her prick
And nobody′s in number four and number six
Put a couple bills in, man, you really shouldn′t miss it

I don′t care how much time it takes
I don′t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I′ll be on my way
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back

You thought you were smart
Thought I wouldn′t leave home
You rented a car, and now you′re halfway to Idaho
You thought you were smart
Thought I′d leave you alone
But you have no idea what kind of hell is coming down on you

I don′t care how much time it takes
I don′t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I′ll be on my way
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn′t going under
He′s got the studs lined up in their stalls

Текст песни:

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, and she says, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is
What makes you happy, but you leave this house knowing my opinion won′t
Make you love me if you don′t care to."

I′m sending you this photograph, I swear
This one is going to 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 recovery...

She said, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is what makes you happy,
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
It won′t make a difference if you′re not ready.

Текст песни:

Safe on the interstate
New York is three thousand miles away
And I′m not looking forward to following through
But it′s better than always running back into you
I′ve closed my eyes and my bank account
And gone west, young man

Take off the parking brake
Go coasting into a different state
And I′m not looking forward to missing you
But I must have something better to do
I′ve got to tear my life apart
And go west, young man

And it feels like I′ve got something to prove
But in some ways it′s just something to do
My friends turn me around and say,
"You go west, young man."

Stepping down off my platform shoes
Sixty-nine in the afternoon
And I′m waiting for someone in the know
Like Pirner tells me on the radio
Says "Take it from someone who′s been there before,
You go west, young man."

And I′m looking for somebody to do my thinking for me
Till I come through
The state-line highway sign says,
"You have gone west, young man."

And it feels like I′ve got something to prove
But in some ways it′s just something to do
The state-line highway sign says,

Текст песни:

I love my bionic eyes
I love my crystal vision
If there′s anybody out there
Baby I′m not gonna miss ′em

I watch the years go by
These are the same old guys I never had any use for
Beyond the feeling of pleasure
Or the thrill of the fight

I scored again last night
I said thanks for the drinks, nice party
Then I turned out the light

I′ve got timing and attitude
That can get to the baddest dude
That′s when I hypnotize them
With my bionic eyes

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can′t feel any more, but I can fake it forever

It′s easy in the beginning
When I can dazzle them
All night
Make ′em do what you wan′ ′em to
Get ′em running after you
It′s just the same old guys
Wearing the same old ties

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can′t feel any more, but I can fake it forever

I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes

If there′s a parallel nation
And I′m a secret weapon
Show me a man you cannot break
And I will show you heaven

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board

Текст песни:

Everyone′s talking ′bout Elvis
′Cause it seems like the thing that we do
Elvis is walking around listlessly
Seems he can′t even die if he wanted to
It′s a bad business to be in
You don′t get thanked and you don′t get paid
It′s a hard world to be in with
And to end with, and to think about leaving behind

Exhuming the body in Memphis
Waiting five hours to get into Graceland
Is this anybody′s idea of a good time or a good joke?
Airport biographies are usually true
Fame and fortune took its′ toll
He′s not the king of rock and roll anymore
He′s just a junkie redneck

Pull the sheet over your head
Fold your arms across your chest
Lie back in bed, you can call folks constantly tomorrow
Ohhh, everyone′s talking ′bout Elvis
′Cause it seems like a thing that we do
Elvis is living too fat and slow now
To care what we say about him
Picking up hitchhiking Elvises
Christening babies at the foot of his grave
He was watching TV and laughing to himself
Just had to tell someone how he did it

Elvis, be good to me
Elvis, be true
Elvis, I love you
Elvis, be true

Elvis, be near me
Elvis, be mine
Elvis, come back to me
Please, Elvis, be fine

Everything′s coming up roses
Everything′s coming up Elvis
Everything′s coming up roses
Everything′s coming up Elvis

Elvis
Elvis
Elvis

Текст песни:

I′ve got my own thing
Feel it, it is strong
The shortest people think
But really it is long

I don′t have to wait for a miracle
They say I′m pretty as a song
I don′t have to save for a rainy day
I know that something comes along, it always comes along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Boy, I do

I′ve got my own thing
Feel it in a room
Everybody changed
When I do what I do, Cause I do what I do

I don′t have to say what i′m thinking cause
Everyone′s radio is on and they′ve heard my latest song
Don′t have to stand there with a drink because
They say that we would get along, so let′s get along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Boy, I do

I know you′re not like other guys
I don′t expect you to normalize
I won′t get into what you do
Because I′m bettin, bettin, bettin, bettin, bettin all my money on you

I don′t have to wait for a miracle
They say I′m pretty as a song, they′ve heard my latest song
You don′t have to stand there with a drink because
I know that we would get along, so let′s just get along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Boy, I do

Текст песни:

I saw John, he looked so sad
I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true.
We had so many dreams, me and you
I want you to know I love you.
You′re my favorite thing from the past,
And all of those nights we spent together,
I never had such a blast.

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

It′s hard to believe so much happened so fast
Remember the way we′d always laugh
While thinking of the things you do
We were kings of the world, me and you
I wish it has stayed like that forever
But everyone was dropping off like flies
I had so many friends in rehab,
A couple who practically died

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

And my mistake was being already married
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you

I guess when you were living the high life
It′s one of those things that just can′t last
Kind of like love in California
But I never had such a blast

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

And my mistake is thinking I′d already made it
I wanna make a leap of innocence
My mistake is thinking that you would change it

Текст песни:

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 who 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

Текст песни:

I′m gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green
And whip-smart as the English Channel′s wide
And I′m gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
And his watch on any hand between his thighs
And I′m gonna lock my son up in a tower
Till I write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes

When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing

I′m gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap
And games are just another way of life
And I′m gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes
Because for every truth there are half a million lies
And I′m gonna lock my son up in a tower
Till he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside

When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing

Текст песни:

He′s got a really big tongue
It rolls way out
Snaking around in the club
It slicks you down
Scratching his face like a bum
He pulls you back
Circa nineteen-eighty-one
He pulls you back

You are, you are shining some glory
You are, you are shining some glory
On me, on me
You are, you are shining some glory

Текст песни:

Okay, this guy walks into a bar
No, I′m just, I′m just fucking with you, I′m kidding
No, there′s this, this young bull and this old bull
And they′re standing on top of a hill

And I tried to tell you before
That that′s why I left California

So they′re standing on top of this hill, right?
And they′re looking out over a pasture full of cows
Whole fucking pasture
And the young bull turns to the old bull, and he goes,
"I got this really good idea."
And they old bull′s like, "Yeah?"

And I tried to tell you before
That that′s why I left California

"Yeah," he′s like, "yeah, yeah, I got this really good idea.
Let′s run down that hill and fuck one of those cows."
And the old bull just looks at him, you know he′s just looking at him
He′s like, "Look, I got a better idea."
And the young bull′s like, "Oh yeah, what′s your fucking brilliant idea?"
And the old bull goes...

And I tried to tell you before
That that′s why I left California

And the old bull goes, "Let′s walk down that hill and fuck all of those cows, dig?"
You know, like he ain′t been in town long or something, I dunno

And I tried to tell you before
