One of these days is like a Christmas in April
One of these days is like a time in a rush One of these days is like a disco on Death Row When the music is over, save the last dance for me What difference does it make We all end up in the same wake To dream of love or to dream of hate A prince or a pauper, a doctor or a leper We all end up feeding worms one of these days One of these days, oh, yeah One of these days, oh, yeah One of these days is gonna take me away And I can't believe it, no, no How old tramp John slept outside one night and froze It was in the municipal park That he laid his weary bones down Hey, hey, hey, who am I to pass judgement that way On a prince or a pauper or a priest, it's all the same So when I finally drop off this mortal rock Was it one day too early or one day too late One of these days, oh, yeah One of these days, oh, yeah One of these days is gonna take me away |

Goodbye Violet Race... I still love you
Goodbye Violet Race... I stil care about you Fear no more, for here lies The body of Violet Race She lay with all the dead rocks and indigenous remains What happened to the place she used to know? What happened to the love she used to show? Goodbye Violet Race... I still love you Goodbye Violet Race... I stil care about you And even though she's dead and gone, she'll always be adored Her life she lost although she won a prize for being a whore But I guess you'll never know how far to go But I guess she'll never know, she'll never know, she'll never know Goodbye Violet Race... I still love you Goodbye Violet Race... I stil care about you Goodbye Violet Race... I still want you |

Lucy's lost her shoe and she don't know where she put it
But I hope she'll find it some day Cause hands that do dishes may be kind to your face But stains they'll never wash away Day in and after, she'd wait up by her window Wait for all the clouds to blow away But she won't recall that cold night in November When her daddy made her play Oh Lucy, what went wrong? You never had it bad I'll think of you before too long And I know you ain't coming back (Oh, Lucy... Oh, Lucy... Oh, Lucy, come back) Lucy's lost her shoe and she don't know where she put it What a terrible shame And if she only knew how to turn back round and get it She wouldn't all the same Sometimes sits and wonders, and sometimes she'll just sit Or making sure that everyone's ok She'll often think of life before November When her daddy made her play Oh Lucy, what went wrong? You never had it bad I'll think of you before too long But I know you ain't coming back Is that such a hard thing to do? She's only got one shoe Lucy, don't be a fool |

Welcome to this empty ministry of plenty
As I'm sure you know We're clearly on display here To remind you should you stray from here Or decide to roam Dossers dream of gossamer And kissing with tongues Well, they're falling in love with anyone Races from all places and all under one sun, Well, it sure was no fun So I got up and ran, ran, ran from Mungo City Mungo City--Where are you? You make us grey when skies are blue Mungo City, in the sky Keeps a watchful eye on you and I Don't think you're even thinking Even though you're thinking: keep it underground They're sending out distress codes And playing with your mind though You won't hear a sound Nazis in the Japanese cars from Japan Well, they're falling in love if only they'd jam I'm telling you the tribesman wouldn't stand for this, man Well, it sure was no scam So I got up and ran, ran, ran from Mungo City Mungo City--Where are you? You make us grey when skies are blue Mungo City, in the sky Keeps a watchful eye on you tonight |

And when the sun falls heavy on my head Don't you know, man, I could cry 'Cause whether I sink or swim you know I'll end up dead Don't you know, man, I could cry But if I go with the flow Let myself go Tonight could really be the night It doesn't really matter Things could only get better tonight All aboard the Skylark it's such a lot of fun, you'll see All aboard the Skylark where everybody travels for free And when the world comes knocking down upon my door Well, don't you know that it's no fun 'Cause whether you win or lose it doesn't really matter Life has got you by the run but if I go with the flow Let myself go Tonight could be the night It doesn't really matter Things could only get better tonight All aboard the Skylark it's such a lot of fun, you'll see All aboard the Skylark where everybody travels for free |

When the world died laughing, laughing at you While others cry hungry you go with out food Still you can see that as the world splits its sides You're one of a million, just a wandering child Because something meant something Nothing to the few Now heaven doesn't haunt you And hell's awful Don't tell me you love me, don't say that I do 'Cause I will believe you, I'll believe you Now you're hurting but you just can't feel You've got a chip on your shoulder and your arm won't heal Sheer paranoia keeps you awake Makes you hungry, makes you ache She'll go enroll me, time and again Well, I could have told you 'cause you're not my friend Still I will believe you, I'll even lie For all of your hurting is just sand in my eyes Like sand in your eyes But you can't see that with sand in your eyes You're just one of a million wandering children |

Slow breeze slipping through my fingers
Cold dreams ejected from my mind Wet face pressed against a window A neon tear illuminates the sign Almond kisses, almond kisses The best kiss you ever had Almond kisses, almond kisses Come back Back to me Boy's breath is humid to the nipple As Conscience: she topples to the floor Ice, cold, tingles in the morning As Passion: she sparks the fire for more Almond kisses, almond kisses The best kiss you ever had Almond kisses, almond kisses Come back to me So be so strong You can't go wrong, can't go wrong |

Come on, come on
Everything's dandy He's got slingshot teeth like a hot bamboo He wakes up every morning at the crack o' two Have you seen him? Well, if you know who I mean there's no need to ask He wears a pinstripe suit and always has the last laugh Have you seen him? I have no face I am anonymous And in my dreams I am anonymous Well, he steals this thyme at the side of the road He's got a one-inch cock but nobody knows Have you seen him? Well, he loves to go a-sailing upon the milky ocean blue We might take a drive in his B-52 Have you seen him? I have no face I am anonymous And in my dreams I am anonymous |
