Are we still on the phone
With the lady Anna Clarke and her trumpet solo Whose ghost sings for pay In the blue billiard room of the Monterey For room and for board And the backdoor key is a 19th century civil war sword Once owned by John Booth Who misplaced his script wen he caught his leather boot This could be the shining hour Based on all those mad beliefs In the money oil and angel powder In the new age magazine There's a hole in the wall Behind the photograph of Al Capone he's a sittin' down at city hall The police they peek thru here And they watch you get dressed in the two-way mirror But it's all in good spirits And if you close your eyes ya can't help help but to hear 'em move This could be the shining hour Based on all those mad beliefs In the money oil and angel powder In the new age magazine I propose a toast To the memory of the horse who carried King Tut and his gold Into the sun He collapsed last summer from the heat stroke somewhere in the East Village oh It kills me to think That I'm no longer living just looking for excuses to drink So lift up your glass And you Ouija board 'cause I'm fading fading fading fast This could be the shining hour Based on all those mad beliefs In the money oil and angel powder In the new age magazine |

Just a girl who can't say no
And her sweetheart on parole Parents named her Jupiter To bless her with a lucky soul He's a boy who never cried When they locked him up inside And she nicknamed him her teardrop For the tattoo by his eye Now she's sleeping in her bed And he's sleeping in her bed And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop She divines by radio Pushing buttons show to show And she wonders 'bout the fate of Lovers in the barrio She forgets after a while When she tunes in on the dial Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops And she drives another mile Now she's sleeping in her bed And he's sleeping in her bed And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And they want to have a child Walk together down the aisle But the world they live in is mean And it's built on sheer denial The phone rings it's for her Got to see ya Jupiter I'm in trouble with the law Bring my 38 caliber Now she's sleeping in her bed As she pulls the phone plug dead dead And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop oh And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Tear oh And it's Jupiter and Tear Oh oh Ooh ooh ooh |

Bring me home
To this house of many days Just lay me on the floor Hard and cool as slate You know I love it more and more Than before I ran away It triggers off so many hurts Hurtful words and broken plates I've been lied to Now I'm Fuzzy I've been lied to All and all The world is small enough for both of us To meet upon the interstate Waiting on a train And just when those big arms lift up Fall in love with no time to say it And I would have liked to Now I'm Fuzzy I would have liked to Now I'm Fuzzy Fuzzy now Here we are In our car Driving down the street We're looking for a place to stop Have a bite to eat We hunger for a bit of faith To replace the fear We water like a dead bouquet Does no good does it dear And I've been lied to Now I'm Fuzzy We've been lied to Now we're Fuzzy Fuzzy now Lied to. |

See the end see the end of time
From the widow's walk I feel the undertow It grows and my fishin' pole Like a willow bends toward the blackest hole To the hole See the film see the black and whites Circle stationed stupid to the tape that rolls My soul receives another blow From the flashlight of the city hate line Oh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh I wish you well I tell you that it can be helped I told you it can be helped See the bad dreams that you speak about And all the things you bring to light are comin' down Now everybody hit the ground Fear is on the march and in the lost and found These are the times to read between the lines Yeah my truck runneth over false prophet signs And road blocks In the road I wish you well I tell you that it can be helped I told you it can be helped I told you it can be helped (Los Angeles has been hit - Spoken) Newspaper cloaks to wrap the truth Propagand-acid dropped on the youth It's easy to see like pulling a tooth No one in line in the ballot booth The Dragon down south may blow some smoke Even the Jester is drummin' up votes They talk about building morale and hope They're just building bigotry a better rope One that won't break one you can't even see One made of paper and policies I wish you well I tell you that it can be helped I told you it can be helped It can be helped Oh but it can be helped |

There's one thing I tell you friend
I don't believe in supermen Who fly thru the clouds above the rest I don't believe in the best And I never wanted to fight with you It's just the last thing that I wanna do But you're so afraid to look at love Gotta let it all go this cut-above stuff 'Cause this is the hook that drags you This is the hook in the crook of your neck It's the hook that snags you This is the hook And there's one thing I tell you friend All of our trials gonna come to an end And you and I we're gonna fall Like we never have stood on this little earth at all 'Cause this is the hook that drags you This is the hook in the crook of your neck It's the hook that snags you This is the hook in the crook of your neck It's hook that drags you This is the hook Oh oh oh |

The soft wolf tread
Thru Emerald Forest he was lookin' to make a bed There in the spindly thicket softly did he tread The soft wolf tread Sure was starved And thru his silver coat his ribs shown sharply carved The hand that feeds was pickin' weeds Sure looked starved Up comes Hood he's beautiful As a sirloin steak to a pit bull chained up It's good to see such an old friend again Such an old friend again Such an old friend again Then he said Dear Hood what brings you to this neck of the woods In your scarlet cape and your basket full of grapes What lures you to the woods The soft wolf tread The clearing and he's nervously tugging on his earring He talked how good such an old friend again Such an old friend again Such an old friend again Oh Such an old Such an old Such an old Ooh ooh ooh And then he spun A twisted tale 'bout a child who cried his name So many times that even when he yelled no one ever came The soft wolf tread The soft wolf tread The soft wolf tread Well he tread and tread and tread and tread Yeah an old friend again Such an old friend again Such an old friend again |

Steel mill streets overrun
The ghost of cars in the yard Sunflower speaks of a one Of a one Engines purr up above The L train roars like our love Like our love I can hide in you In your chestnut hair I'll confide in you Whisper in your ear When the earth is ripe All the worms wake up In their stars and stripes And their swastikas There's a cure in sight Set your soul at ease For the red and white And the blue disease La la la Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Got you on the Handycam Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Fits in my hands in my green light I Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Got you on the Handycam Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Fits in my hands in my Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Got you on the Handycam green light I Got you on the Handycam fits in my hand Sits in my hands in my green light I On the Handycam fits in my hand Got you on the Handycam green light I Got you on the Handycam Got you on the Handycam My ooh ooh ooh Got you on the Handycam Down in my soul Moon River flows All my trials All my trials Will halt |

Ooh Jambalaya
Ooh Jambalaya It was muggy July around supper time When I pulled into New Orleans I got dropped off at South Rampart Street I was hungry for a plate of greens I made my way down the banquette Where I could see an open door And overhead a sign made of painted pine read The Dixie Drug Store Peppers and roots were hanging From the rafters above There were oils and sprays all on display For money luck and for love I reached down to pick one up When a dark hand grabbed my arm And before I could see just who it was She said you don't want that charm Ooh Jambalaya The last man to walk that thing out of here Just up and disappeared Found his wallet and his wingtip shoes Near a tombstone down in Algiers What you need my travelling friend Is a place to wash your jeans And I wouldn't be the least surprised If you were hungry for a plate of greens She beckoned me on up the stairs For she'd done made up her mind Said take off your hat and kick off your boots And leave your pride behind Ooh Jambalaya She took me down to a secret place In the bayou of her blankets She offered to share her bourbon I thanked her then I drank it Thru a small crack in the ceiling Burst the Louisiana moon It shone down on our bodies And we began to croon Like a couple of coyotes We were howling thru the night And I swear they were a beatin' those Congo drums outside Ooh Jambalaya We laughed until the mornin' By then my pants had dried I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots And I gathered up my pride I figured she had done stepped out I didn't see her anywhere And I set out to find her I headed on downstairs Got down to the bottom I couldn't believe my eyes Gone were all the bottles And the remedy supplies Ooh Jambalaya I shouted out for Marie I darted out the door An old man on the wooden porch said What you in there for Son you got no business The hoodoo store's been closed Long as I remember A century I suppose But Mister I just spent the night With a young gal named Laveau He said the Widow Paris Done had a little laugh on you I said you mean to tell me That was the voodooin' He nodded yes none other The Queen of New Orleans Ooh Jambalaya (Scraps of phrases - Till the end) Ooh Jambalaya Ooh Jambalaya Ooh Jambalaya Ooh Jambalaya Ooh Jambalaya |

I hear you America snoring
I hear you America snoring Did ya see it on TV Or in your own backyard Gate's LAPD And they called The National Guard Then the tanks came rolling down Sunset Boulevard And I hear America snoring They want ta' legislate the moon They want ta' legislate the womb They wanna legislate all the things they hate They want ta' legislate this tune And I hear America snoring snoring I hear you America snoring snoring Give wind time to blow The rooster to crow Plug my ears but I hear America Oh oh oh See the shoemaker and his shoes Sliver needle thread and glue He's closing up the shop Move it all to Timbuktu Where the labor force is cheap And the rivers there run deep But I hear America snoring I hear you America snoring snoring America I hear you America snoring snoring America I hear |

(A phrase - Spoken)
If I was the Lone Ranger Hiding behind a mask Wouldn't be any danger To the questions I ask What ya say Pocahontas Trade in your feathers and beads For an electric blanket And a packet of cigs You bet That's what she said If I had me a needle For every bubble that popped Bind them all up like one You would hear that pin drop Like a gun shot Like a shot And if I was a world leader Would not mislead the world I would not miss anything Miss America knows That it's only a pageant That it's only a show Isn't even film in the camera These aren't even my clothes No no no no Miss America knows Ah ooh ooh You remember Houdini Who not a shackle could hold Carved a trap door into heaven To escape growin' old Guess he just couldn't hack it Bundled up for the cold Double-breasted straightjacket French handcuffs of gold No no no no He escaped growin' old The growing old Oh oh oh |
