I know everyone's a good person inside
Everyone wants just to be loved inside So whenever I think how you wasted my time I try to remember the good things inside Well, you haven't killed anyone, as far as we know And you seem very nice to your sister You have very good taste in clothes and guitars And very young girls I know everyone's a good person inside Everyone wants just to be loved inside So whenever I think, "What a dick, what a liar" I try to remember the good things inside Well, your smile is as wide as Montana And your eyes as deep as the Caspian Sea Well, I guess these don't count as the things from inside But these are the things that made me blind These are the things that made me blind What was I thinking? I wasn't thinking at all If I knew what I did today, would I make the same mistake? Uh-huh, probably would 'Cause your hands are as big as Montana And your lips as sweet as Red Vines Well, I guess these don't count as the things from inside But these are the things that made me blind These are the things that make me blind You're as sharp as a tack, you're as loyal as a cat You were great in the sack, even if you have hair on your back You made me weak at the knees, gave me no disease What more could I ask? I won't dig deeper than that La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la These are the things that made me blind These are the things that made me blind Your smile is as wide as Montana And your eyes as deep as the Caspian Sea Well, I guess these don't count as the things from inside But these are the things that made me blind La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la |

Karen, she's my boss at the shoe store
We sell to the rich on Madison Avenue I come in late from Brooklyn on the F train Karen says "honey, make this your last time" But we like her, she's firm but approachable Dresses in style, pretty conservative We ask her, "hey, come out with us after work" Karen she always declines And we talk about Karen by night We imagine she must lead a very dull life With just a cat and a book by her side We know her by day but we don't know Karen by night In the stockroom searching for a 9B I overheard Karen whisper on the phone She said, "Meet me at the club There's a shipment coming in And I can't pull this one off alone" Well, I didn't know what to think Was my mind playing tricks? Was there more to this Karen then realized? I had to know so I followed her home I could not believe my eyes And then I saw Karen by night The leather comes out under the moonlight Takes off her Chanel and hops on her bike Looking like young Marlon Brando Karen by night Saw her leaning on the bar with a drink in hand And a cigarette dangling from her bright red lips She looked like she was looking for someone Like she was looking for a fight Then a young blonde buck walked in She grabbed him by the collar Kissed him hard on the mouth And slapped him on the cheek Then I thought she spied me in the corner of her eye So I ran outside, but all night all I could think about was Karen by night The next morning, I'm late as usual Karen's there fresh as a daisy She says with a smile, "You look like hell And where you last night?" Karen by night Imagine she must lead a very dull life With just a cat or a book by her side We know her by day but we don't know Karen by night The leather comes out under the moonlight Takes off her Chanel and hops on her bike Looking like Marlon Brando Looking like young Marlon Brando Wish I could be more like Karen by night Looking like young Marlon Brando Not like the old fat Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now Karen by night |

The box sits on the bridge
The crowd is waiting The chains are locked across my chest There's no heart breaking I've done this show a thousand times This trick's so easy As they lower me into your waters There's no escaping There's a secret passage out of here But I don't want to reappear I just want to stay with you in here In Houdini's box Close the lid And tie the knot Houdini's box The clock ticks by the bed I hear you breathing I should be out the door But I'm not leaving I've still the scars from my last escape I nearly drowned beneath the lake Stayed down too long dreaming about you In Houdini's box Close the lid And tie the knot Houdini's box In Houdini's box Houdini's box I'd take such good care of you I'd brush your hair, untie your shoes There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do In Houdini's box In Houdini's box Seal the lid And tie the knot In Houdini's box Houdini's box Houdini's box Houdini's box Houdini's box The box sits on the bridge The crowd's still waiting |

Tie me to the track with my ear to the rail
But wait for the very last moment to save me Or we could fight on top like a Western Jump from car to car, not noticing the tunnel is approaching And when were' in the tunnel you become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us Trains, I wish I was on that train I wish I was on that train with you Trains, there's something about a train That always makes me think of you On the Peking to Paris, you're a sculptor, I'm an heiress I'm running from my husband, you're running from the law But there's agents at the border so I hide you in my cabin Of course I let you spend the night not knowing who you are And when I let you out, you become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us Trains, I wish I was on that train I wish I was on that train with you Trains, there's something about a train That always makes me think of you Wish I was on that train Wish I was on that train Wish I was on that train with you We're two hobos on the boxcar, you and your five o'clock shadow Me and my harmonica and a duffel on a stick Or you're a soldier coming back from the war I'm the lover waiting on the platform It's so steamy you're not sure it's me waving And when I close my eyes, I become another person And we lay down and let the darkness enfold us |

Genny came over and
told me about Brad He's such a hairy behemoth she said And dumb as a box of hammers But he's such a hand some guy And I opened up and told her about Larry And yesterday how he asked me to marry I'm not giving him an answer yet I think I can do better So we laughed compared notes We had a drink we had a smoke She took off her overcoat I kissed a girl I kissed a girl So she called home to say she'd be late He said he worried but now he'd feel safe I'm glad you're with your girlfriend Tell her Hi for me So I looked at you you had guilt in your eyes But it only lasted a little while And then I felt your hand upon my knee And we laughed at the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearls I kissed a girl I kissed a girl kissed a girl her lips were sweet She was just like kissing me kissed a girl won't change the world But I'm so glad I kissed a girl And we laughed at the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearls I kissed a girl I kissed a girl I kissed a girl I kissed a girl I kissed a girl her lips were sweet She was just like kissing me I kissed a girl kissed a girl won't change the world But I'm so glad I kissed a girl I kissed a girl |

If I had a lot of money
I'd move to another country I'd disappear, not tell a soul, I'd change my name Or maybe I'd go back to school Major in something foolish And I could do it cause I'd have a lot of money Here I am holding on to childhood's dream Sitting in my apple tree Swaying as the branches tremble under me The jig is up, it's all been played The well is dry, the bed's been made The jig is up, the jig is up Maybe I could jump, Jump off the Brooklyn Bridge But I don't live in Brooklyn And I don't know how to swim Or I could find religion go on some kind of mission Feed the poor, and then I would go to heaven if I believed in heaven Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream Standing on the balcony Waiting for someone to come and rescue me The jig is up, the dance is done The record skips, the song's been sung The troops have dwindled down to one The jig is up The jig is up, the sun has set The train is wrecked, the sheets are wet And like I said, the jig is up Well I can't really disappear Cause I don't have a lot of money And I don't really think I wanna go back to school But maybe I'm just in a bad mood And I need to change my attitude And when I wake up tomorrow I'll believe in heaven Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream Climbing down the apple tree Waking as you pull the covers off of me The jig is up The jig is up, yes it's been tough The punch is drunk, the shrink is shrunk It's time to get the baby up It's off to work let's start the car We'll turn it over in its grave And start again its soul to save The jig is up but so what We'll fill again this empty cup The jig is up, the point's been made Elvis has just left the stage The story needs another twist And I have had enough of this |

I had this dream we were in the resistance
Somewhere in France fighting traitors and facists You were my mistress, yes, you were a woman But I knew it was you by the shape of your mouth And you called me Maurice and I had a thin mustache And I played clarinet in a decadent band Until we Hid in the bushes We shot from the bushes Made love in the bushes Like there was no tomorrow In my real life, I'm a cocktail waitress Dodging men's hands Instead of bullets And you're a bass player in a band That got a deal. Dealing with assholes Instead of explosives Still we were grateful to be alive Together fighting side by side As we Hide in the bushes Shoot from the bushes Love in the bushes Like there is no tomorrow We promised if one of us left or died We'd meet again in another life And we'll Hide in bushes Shoot from the bushes Love in the bushes Like there is no tomorrow |

He was pulling deep
on his cigarette Billows of smoke pouring out of him Like a firefighter hit by a torpedo Before the fire reached the hold She was hanging on to him Like he was a raft We both agreed, we'd never be The couple on the street We were so rosy-cheeked And fresh and horny On our way to the movies When you told me for the first time That you loved me, and I knew that you loved me And it was like we were together In another life We never parted and love never died Although I don't really Buy that stuff, today I'll believe You and me, well never be The couple on the street Like a still life of our worst fears Like the seven years of a broken mirror I love you so much Won't you tell me please We'll never be The couple on the street (Okay, okay, it's one year later I still don't have an ending The inspiration left I guess we'll never be The couple on the street End of story) |

They stood by the window
And watched the old church Burn for the second time The light from the fire Made her glow like an angel As she pulled him down and smiled They lay on the bed There were shouts all around They could shut the whole war out With the squeak of the springs And tomorrows dreams And the beating of their hearts He would lay his arms down for her She would forgive his brother's crime They would do anything To make it past Vrbana Bridge Well he looked up to Jesus And she looked to the east Where the sun was soon to rise She asked for Allah's blessings To keep them both alive They had friends in high places Who could do them a favor Turn a blind eye They'd seen so much hate And death every day "Let's just let those two walk by" They would lay their arms down for her They would forgive his brother's crime Just for one moment they would Let them pass Vrbana Bridge Through a crack in the wall Of a sandbagged building The soldier saw them fall He said "If love was their only armor It did no good at all They lay for six days In a final embrace They had shut the whole war out The soldier blames the other side But even he has his doubts He would lay down his arms down for her He would forgive his brother's crime He would lay down his arms To let them pass Vrbana Bridge |

I have hope, now that I don't have you
I have faith, now that I'm alone I'm not bashing my head against the wall I'm not waiting forever for your call I'm not wasting time Now that I don't have you Now that I don't have you Maybe someday I'll love as others do And fall for someone who's half as cruel Now that I don't have you I have dreams, not that you're not lying next to me I can sleep, I can rest in peace I'm not tossing and turning on your bed of nails I'm not burning up like I'm in hell I can sleep Now that I don't have you Now that I don't have you Maybe someday I'll love as others do And wake up one morning to skies of blue But I won't be with you Now that I don't have you Maybe someday I'll love as others do And fall for someone who's sad but true Now that I don't have you |
