See Ms. Malone
She spends another quiet evening alone Sits in her study and stares at the phone And a bell in her head will ring All the children sing All the dancers start to sway in time The orchestra begins to play Somebody pours the wine The sun and moon collide Isn't gravity a funny thing The universe explodes apart All the children sing Of Mr. Malloy He's always seen himself as one of the boys He thinks that men are tough and women are toys But a bell in his head will ring All the children sing All the birds are chirping harmony The scent of love is in the air Sunset on the sea The angel of the Lord Just declared we aren't worth a thing The galaxy is null and void All the children sing Crawled across a thousand miles of desert sand Looking from an answer from a holy man And this is what he told me with a wave of his hand He said, "A bell in your head will ring" Here's to the Chinaman, wise and old Here's to the Eskimo, brave and cold Here's to the Jew in the holy land Here's to the Arab in his caravan Here's to the African, strong and proud Here's to the Redneck, good and loud Here's one to you and there's one more thing A bell in your head will ring |

> We can't play this game anymore, but
Can we still be friends? Things just can't go on like before, but Can we still be friends? We had something to learn Now it's time for the wheel to turn Things are said one by one Before you know it's all gone Let's admit we made a mistake, but Can we still be friends? Heartbreak's never easy to take, but Can we still be friends? It's a strange sad affair Sometimes seems like we just don't care Don't waste time feeling hurt We've been through hell together La la la la, la la la la Can we still be friends? Can we still get together sometime? We awoke from our dream Things are not always what they seem Memories linger on It's like a sweet sad old song |

Yesterday
I just saw the one you left behind, yesterday I could tell that he was hurting for you Sad, but he can't deny it There was nothing else he could do He was one of the many struck by it Hurting for you Finish before it started It's the only thing left to do 'cause the last of the broken-hearted Is hurting for you Day to day That's how you should learn To live your life, day to day Put aside those dreams that keep hurting for you Don't let the pain remind you There is nothing else you can do Better not ever let the day find you Sympathy I don't want to sound like what i feel Seems like pity at all Destiny But in the great design of life We are all so pitifully small |

Why don't you write your mother
Why don't you call your family They're expecting an answer Spare them your strange behavior What of your expectations Weren't you going to show us all Some new kind of dancer This season's singing savior I'm too far gone, and it's no use pretending I could ever forget what I done I'm already too far gone, I got no bridges left to burn It's better to keep moving on It's such a long way down, too far to fall Too much trouble to turn back around Think of your friends and neighbors Suffering through your lamest years You must owe them something Come now, you must remember Haven't you finished playing Get down to business soon Because your lean years are coming June now, but come December |

Girl the last time I saw you, you were crying my name
When I put you on the spot, Will you still feel the same Show me some determination Show me the measure of your dedication I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration Don't you break down on me I'm looking for someone, Someone strong enough to believe in Everybody's looking for someone Strong enough to stand on his feet And never break down I'll put my life on the line and believe what you say I'll go out on a limb if you meet me halfway I'm looking for someone To show me what they mean by devotion Everybody's looking for someone Prepared to put aside his emotion And never break down You're a new wave raver and you like to talk tough But can you still cut the mustard When the going gets rough I need a demonstration of your determination Give me an indication of your determination Three days in the rain and I ain't had no sleep But I won't break down now, I got a promise to keep Showing my determination 'cause that's the way I am |

Sleeping at night in a plaster board box
Scratching the earth with the nails on my fingers And the ground pukes up rocks and rocks and more rocks And when the seeds finally reach the ground It's all been for nothing I hear the cries of children at night I watch their faces grow sallow with hunger Who draws the line between what's wrong and right And when I ask my life is for It's all been for nothing Save your regrets for the dead, but for the living Give them love and give them bread One more hungry mouth to be fed Remember the living Give them love, give them bread Standing in the light of the kitchen screen door Like some kind of untouchable stuck in Calcutta I almost forget what I'm standing here for And I don't know what to do but I know I won't leave with nothing Where are the days when life was carefree Why must I suffer this, what was my crime Begging or thievery, which shall it be Is there no other choice for me I can't live with nothing Justice only comes to the dead And when they ask me what life is for I must give them something |

Like a fly batters itself against a window
Time and again and again it senselessly blunders Up and down the length of West Broadway the bag lady wanders Fifty cents rent goes pretty far when you live in a subway car One stop's the same as another Even Son of Sam sees her sleeping, she's not worth the bother Sorrow, do they ever want to cry Do they see us pass by Where do they come from (simple answers) Do they come falling, falling from the sky like rain Crawling up the basement drain Misfits and black sheep Former brothers, friends of mothers There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow There is only now and that hardly matters No one cares about sad old ladies with bags full of tatters One day it gets a bit too cold Maybe a little too wet, maybe a little too lonely Lifelessly she lies amidst her bag world But maybe she's only sleeping |

You cried wolf once too often
You cried wolf, you made me run You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing You'll cry wolf but I'll be gone If you need someone to love You only had to ask Instead you pulled a false alarm Baby, just for a laugh You can have your little joke But when they see what you done You will holler for assistance and nobody will come You can threaten me forever With the same old song But you can toy with my emotions Baby, only so long Because the very next time I see you talk through your hat You will get no more attention, I can promise you that |

Some people don't seem real at all
Unafraid of any mountain Sure that the gods won't let him fall Should he fall, he will always get up again If he's hurt, he never shows it If he's wrong, nobody knows it Seems like he never has to try He just must be a lucky guy And when there's pain, he never minds it When it's lost, he always finds it Nobody really knows just why He just must be a lucky guy I wish I was that lucky guy |

Hot damn
Never dreamed a man could know such speed Never had a chance to fill my need It's just what I always wanted To be the last of a dying breed Said I thought I had my number down I'd seen every scene to hit this town Looks like no one wants to tell you When something like this comes around There they go, everyone's going Everyone's gone this time There they go, everyone's going Don't you get left behind Looks like it's gonna explode Looks like it's gonna explode Looks like it's gonna go totally out of control Look out I ain't never seen such chaos before I ain't got no point of reference no more And when I get my trip together I'll be making a rush for the door Doesn't anybody here know the rules Hasn't anybody gotten through school And the more I hear the answers The more that I feel like a fool Here I go, everyone's going Everyone's gone this time Here I go, everyone's going Don't you get left behind I think I'm gonna explode I think I'm gonna explode I think I'm gonna go totally out of control |
