Sometimes I wonder who am I
The world seeming to pass me by A younger man now getting old I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold I hold a mirror to my face There are some lines that I could trace To memories of loving you A passion that breaks reason in two I - I - I have to think and I have to think and stop me now If reminices make you frown One thinks of what one hoped to be And then faces reality I wonder who started all this Was God in love and gave a kiss To someone who later betrayed And God less love sent us away? Sometimes I wonder who am I Who made the trees - who made the sky Who made the storms who made heartbreak? I wonder how much life I can take I see at last a future self Were you alive I'd ask your help But thinking puts me in a daze And thinking never helped me anyway You always were so negative You never saw the positive You always stand upon the edge And dream of what it must be to be dead I know I like to dream a lot And think of other worlds that are not I hate that I need air to breathe I'd like to leave this body - and be free You'd like to float like a mystic child You'd like to kiss an angel on the brow You'd love to solve the mistery of live By cutting someone's throat or removing their heart You'd like to see it beat You'd like to hold your eyes And though you know I'm dead You'd like to hold my thighs If it's wrong to think on this To hold the dead past to hold the dead past in your fist Why were we why were we given memories? Let's lose our minds Be set free! Sometimes I wonder who am I The world seeming to pass me by A younger man now getting old I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold I wonder I wonder who started all this - ooh Was God in love and gave a kiss To someone who later betrayed And God less love sent us away To someone who later betrayed God less love sent us away To someone who later betrayed God less love sent us away... |

a) Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet the sexy boy smiled in dismay She took out four twenties 'cause she liked round figures everybody's a queen for a day Oh, babe, I'm on fire and you know how I admire your - - body why don't we slip away Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin' sha-la-la-la, this way Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la hey, baby, come on, let's slip away Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle call out the national guard She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means from off of the formica topped bar And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly out of this world And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion sha-la-la-la, later on And then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly and showed her where he was coming from And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently it was like she'd never ever come And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la when the sun rose and he made to leave You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la neither one regretted a thing b) Street Hassle Hey, that cunt's not breathing I think she's had too much of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean I don't mean to scare you but you're the one who came here and you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave I'm not being smart or trying to be cold on my part and I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve But you know people get all emotional and sometimes, man, they just don't act rational they think they're just on TV Sha-la-la-la, man why don't you just slip her away You know, I'm glad that we met man it really was nice talking and I really wish that there was a little more time to speak But you know it could be a hassle trying to explain myself to a police officer about how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed And it's not like we could help but there was nothing no one could do and if there was, man, you know I would have been the first But when someone turns that blue well, it's a universal truth and then you just know that bitch will never fuck again By the way, that's really some bad shit that you came to our place with but you ought to be more careful around the little girls It's either the best or it's the worst and since I don't have to choose I guess I won't and I know this ain't no way to treat a guest But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet and just lay her out on the darkened street and by morning, she's just another hit and run You know, some people got no choice and they can't never find a voice to talk with that they can even call their own So the first thing that they see that allows them the right to be why they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck |

They tied his arms behind his back, to teach him how to swim
They put blood in his coffee and milk in his gin They stood over the soldier, in the midst of the squalor There was war in his body and it caused his brain to holler Make the sacrifice, mutilate my face If you need someone to kill I'm a man without a will Wash the razor in the rain, let me luxuriate in pain Please don't set me free Death means a lot to me The pain was lean and it made him scream He knew he was alive He put a pin through the nipples on his chest He thought he was a saint I've made love to my mother, killed my father and brother What am I to do When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car And cannot be controlled Spit upon his face and scream: There is no Oedipus today This is no play you're thinking you are in What will you say Take the blue mask down from my face And look me in the eye I get a thrill from punishment, I've always been that way I loathe and despise repentance You are permanently stained Your weakness and indifference and indiscretion in the streets Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not You deserve to be soundly beat Make the sacrifice, take it all the way There is no ' won't ' high enough To stop this desperate day Don't take death away, cut the finger at the joint Cut the stallion at his mount And stuff it in his mouth |

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart
if you accidentally crush it on the ides of March I'd prefer you were straight forward you don't have to go through all of that I'm a New York city man, baby, and say "go" and that is that New York city man, you just say "go" and that is that I'm a New York city man, you just say "go" and that is that It's far too complicated to make up a lie that you'd have to remember and really why I wouldn't want to be around you if you didn't want to have me around I'm a M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes and I'll be gone M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes, honey, I love you, I'll be gone New York city man, you blink your eyes and I'll be gone Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play but I'm no Lear with blinded eyes, say "go" and I am gone The stars have shut their eyes up tight the earth has changed it's course a Kingdom sits on a black knight's back as he tries to mount a white jeweled horse While a clock full of butterflies on the hour releases a thousand moths You say "leave" and I'll be gone without any remorse No letters faxes phones or tears there's a difference between bad and worse I'm a New York city man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone New York city - man, M-A-N, you blink your eyes and I'll be gone New York city, I love you, New York city man New York city, how I love you, blink your eyes and I'll be gone just a little grain of sand New York city, ooohhh, how I love you New York city, baby, blink your eyes and I'll be gone Oh, how I love you |

Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
he looks out a window without glass The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg He's got 9 brothers and sisters they're brought up on their knees it's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man but that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard He's going to end up, on the dirty boulevard he's going out, to the dirty boulevard He's going down, to the dirty boulevard This room cost 2,000 dollars a month you can believe it man it's true somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything they dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em that's what the Statue of Bigotry says Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard going out, to the dirty boulevard He's going down, on the dirty boulevard going out Outside it's a bright night there's an opera at Lincoln Center movie stars arrive by limousine The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan but the lights are out on the Mean Streets A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel he's selling plastic roses for a buck The traffic's backed up to 39th street the TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming he's found a book on magic in a garbage can He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling 'At the count of 3' he says, 'I hope I can disappear' And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard I want to fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly away I want to fly Fly, fly away I want to fly Fly-fly away (Fly a-) fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh...) Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away) fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away) |

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby you just make me mad Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Thought of you as my mountain top Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep I've had but couldn't keep Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me I'd put in front of me Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Skip a life completely stuff it in a cup She said money is like us in time It lies but can't stand up Down for you is up Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes It was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly truly a sin Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes |
