In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes
With the freighters towering over me I can hear the jets flying overhead Making lines across the darkening sky And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for me Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round (alright) So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free And I could get away from you And you could get away from me And we could live each separately in our cities in the sun Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round (alright) In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosphorus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing ((Platters:Smoke Gets In Your Eyes|Smoke Gets In Your Eyes)) And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round I don't know I don't know I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) Why you say you (music stops) are not in love with me |

No phone No phone,
I just want to be alone today No phone no phone Ringing stinging, Jerking like a nervous bird Rattling up against his cage Calls to me throughout the day See the feathers fly No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone No phone no phone I just want to be alone today Rhyming chiming got me working all the time Gives me such a worried mind Now I don't want to seem unkind But god, it's such a crime No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone... Shaking quaking, waking me when I'm asleep Never lets me go too deep Summons me with just one beep The price we pay is steep I've been on fire and yet I've still stayed frozen So deep in the night My smooth contemplations will always be broken My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken No I don't have any change but here's a few subway tokens No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone No phone no phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone |

Daria - Cake
When you tried to kiss me I only bit your tongue. when you tried to get me together I only came undone. when you tried to tell me the one for me was you, I was in your mattress back in 1982. Daria, I won't be soothed. daria, I won't be soothed over like, smoothed over like milk, silk, a bedspread, or a quilt, icing on a cake, or a serene translucent lake. daria, daria, daria, I won't be soothed. I won't be soothed. When you tried to tell me of all the love you had, I was cleaning oil from beaches seeing only what was bad. when you tried to feed me I only shut my mouth. food got on your apron and you told me to get out. Daria, I won't be soothed. daria, I won't be soothed over like, smoothed over like milk, silk, a bedspread, or a quilt, icing on a cake, or a serene translucent lake. daria, daria, daria, daria, daria, daria, daria, I won't be soothed. I won't be soothed. |

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere? The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down. Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town. It wasn't me that started that ol' crazy Asian war. But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore. And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be. Oh Ruby, I still need some company. It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize. But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town. She's leaving now, 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before. And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground. Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town. Oh Ruby, God sakes turn around.... |
