When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name |

Five names that I can hardly
Stand to hear Including yours and mine And one more chimp who isn't here I can see the ladies talking How the times are getting hard And that fearsome excavation On Magnolia Boulevard CHORUS: And I'm going insane And I'm laughing at the frozen rain And I'm so alone Honey when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and a Piña Colada My friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large Sum of money to spend You fellah, you tearin' up the street You wear that white tuxedo How you gonna beat the heat Do you take me for a fool Do you think that I don't see That ditch out in the valley That they're digging just for me CHORUS |

Rose darling come to me Snake Mary's gone to bed All our steaming sounds of love Cannot disturb her in her night Or raise her sleeping head All I ask of you Is make my wildest dreams come true No one sees and no one knows Rose darling come to me Snake Mary dreams along I would guess she's in Detroit With lots of money in the bank Although I could be wrong You must know it's right The spore is on the wind tonight You won't feel it till it grows Rose darling my friend With only you and what I've found We'll wear the weary hours down Rose darling come to me The clock is close at hand All my empty words of love Can never screen the flash I feel Or make you understand Honey can't you see I know it's real it's got to be Why not chase it where it goes |

Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night No more Daddy don't need no lock and key For the piece he stowed Out on Avenue D Daddy don't live in that New York City No more Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado No more He don't travel on down to the neighborhood Liquor store Lucy still loves her coke and rum But she sits alone 'Cause her daddy can't come Daddy don't drive in that EldoradoNo more Driving like a fool out to Hackensack Drinking his dinner from a paper sack He says I gotta see a joker And I'll be right back Daddy don't live in that New York City No more He can't get tight every night Pass out on the barroom floor Daddy can't get no fine cigar But we know you're smoking Wherever you are Daddy don't live in that New York City No more |

Katy tried
I was halfway crucified I was on the other side Of no tomorrow You walked in And my life began again Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow All night long We would sing that stupid song And every word we sang I knew was true Are you with me Doctor Wu Are you really just a shadow Of the man that I once knew Are you crazy are you high Or just an ordinary guy Have you done all you can do Are you with me Doctor Don't seem right I've been strung out here all night I've been waiting for the taste You said you'd bring to me Biscayne Bay Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day I went searching for the song You used to sing to me Katy lies You could see it in her eyes But imagine my surprise When I saw you Are you with me Doctor Wu Are you really just a shadow Of the man that I once knew She is lovely yes she's sly And you're an ordinary guy Has she finally got to you Can you hear me Doctor Are you with me Doctor Can you hear me Doctor Are you with me Doctor Can you hear me Doctor Are you with me Doctor Can you hear me Doctor Are you with me Doctor Can you hear me Doctor |

Kids, if you want some fun,
Mister La Page is your man; He's always laughing, having fun, Showing his films in his den. Come on, come on. Soon you will be eighteen, I think you know what I mean Don't tell your mamma, your daddy or mamma, They'll never know where you've been. Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last; Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last. Listen to what I say, He wants to show you the way Right down the hallway with open arms To teach you a new game to play. Come on, come on. Soon it will be too late, Bobbing for apples can wait; I know you're used to sixteen or more, Sorry we only have eight Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last; Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last. solo Come on, come on. Kids, if you want some fun, See what you never have seen; Take off your cheaters sit right down, Start the projection machine. Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last; Everyone's gone to the movies, now we're alone at last. |

Who are these children Who scheme and run wild Who speak with their wings And the way that they smile What are the secrets They trace in the sky And why do you tremble Each time they ride by Throw out your gold teeth And see how they roll The answer they reveal Life is unreal Who are these strangers Who pass through the door Who cover your action And go you one more If you're feeling lucky You best not refuse It's your game the rules Are your own win or lose |

Some turnout, a hundred grand Get with it we'll shake his hand Don't bother to understand Don't question the little man Be part of the brotherhood Yes it's chain lightning It feels so good Hush brother, we cross the square Act natural like you don't care Turn slowly and comb your hair Don't trouble the midnight air We're standing just where he stood It was chain lightning It feels so good |

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime I'd quit my job Ride the train through the misty nighttime I'll be ready when my feet touch ground Wherever I come down And if the folks will have me Then they'll have me [Chorus] Any world that I'm welcome to Is better than the one I come from I can hear your words When you speak of what you are and have seen I can see your hand Reaching out through a shining daydream Where the days and nights are not the same Captured happy in a picture frame Honey I will be there Yes I'll be there [Chorus] I got this thing inside me That's got to find a place to hide me I only know I must obey This feeling I can't explain away I think I'll go to the park Watch the children playing Perhaps I'll find in my head What my heart is saying A vision of a child returning A kingdom where the sky is burning Honey I will be there Yes I'll be there [Chorus] |

Lost in the Barrio I walk like an Injun,
So Carlo won't suspect something's wrong here. I dance in place and paint my face And act like I belong here. Throw back the little ones and pan fry the big ones; Use tact, poise and reason and gently squeeze them. Hot licks and rhetoric don't count much for for nothing; Be glad if you can use what you borrow. So I pawn my crown for ride uptown And buy it back tomorrow. Done like a matador I pray for the weekend And hope the little girls still throw roses. Else I change my bait and move upstate Before the season closes. |
