(pre-chorus) Heat wave blast, kids are screamin' Pavement's hot (and the) sidewalk's steamin' Only me, happens every time Thinkin' 'bout you and me Hello - Goodbye
(chorus) You can jazz it up or play it slow It's still the only song I know It's 2 a.m. and traffic's slow Another ladies's nite in Buffalo
I was listenin' to the DJ sayin' "Put the stone behind", he said Then the words can blow better, better I don't mind some stormy wheather Tonight, no I can feel it, the
(pre-chorus)
Put the top down, hit the road I sing the only song we know It's 2 a.m. the traffic's slow It looks like ladie's nite in Buffalo Oh, baby

Well, here I'm rollin' down another sunny highway, been in the sun too long. I'm goin' coconuts but least I'm goin' my way, I'll prob'bly be here when that sun goes down.
I wanna live it up, wanna quit my job, tell the boss to go to hell. I ain't complainin', you do the best with what you got. I know you're laughin' 'cause it's easy to tell
I'm goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat.
Remember dancing on the pier last night? Got drunk and fell into the water. The big policeman wasn't laughing, didn't blink an eye, he said, "You're messin' with the mayor's daughter."
Don't tell me, "Give it up", too busy getting down, I learned my lessons well. You get it goin' and you don't never stop. I know you're laughin' 'cause it's easy to tell
Every inch of you looks like a lady So don't get caught here in the city at nite And if you wanna take a chance and go down crazy I sell protection for a price
(pre-chorus) Well, call it love or call it murder This is the crime of the century No, don't point that thing on me
(chorus) All in all my aim is better Shots as clean as a mean goal-getter A bad man on the run I'm gonna be your dark stranger Contact man 'tween you and danger I'll protect you baby with my elephant gun
Every minute counts and you play both sides of the law Mm, these dangorous days Mean nine lives doin' anything at all A lot of folks been blown away
Well, Mousy Joe got the master plan. He got a hat full of sugar; folks said, "You a lucky man." One night he just disappeared and all we found was his hat in a clearing down by the Seven Eleven. Folks cried, someone said he died. But I know Joe didn't go to heaven, no.
He went looking for trouble, it was in his eyes. She was a dime a dozen and they were two of a kind.
Cherry Blue and Mighty Mouse kinda quiet dude and she was 'sposed to be back at the house with the kids and the dog. "And tonight we're rocketeers", said Mouse. "And I know a little joint upstairs in the back where we can sweat it all out and laugh." And without a doubt they were, out
looking for trouble the real kind, Oh She was a dime a dozen, Ha ha ha and they were two of a kind.
How many times have you said to yourself, "Hey, I feel like a yo-yo, I've been here too long." I bet if you asked them our heroes would say, "Hey, we're already gone." I know, somehow I know.
How many times have you said to yourself, "Hey, pack up and go, I've been here too long." I bet if you asked them our heroes would say, "Hey, we're already gone." I know.
How do I know that fellas?
And off they drove, late night still alive, They were moon shinin' brilliantly. I'm sure he thinks that's cool 'cause any moon or mouse says he's a friend of hers and this one will do just fine. So what do you say we go lookin'?
That's life, That's Life that's what all the people say. You're riding high on Monday, shot down in May. But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune when I'm back on top in the month of June.
I said, that's life. That's Life Ain't as funny as it may seem, some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream. But I, I don't never let it get me down 'cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round.
Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king. Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing: each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, That's Life And I can't deny it, many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly.
Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king. Been up, down, I know one thing: each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, That's Life And I can't deny it, many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly.
When the fire burns 'Neath a zombie moon Ya feel the winds of chang Oh the drums will tell the tune And you know it's true
Can ya feel the geat Of the setting sun Burning up the streets This beat has got mixed blood And I know it too
But now her mama's got hte eyes Like she's workin' on a heart attack A fella never can tell And I'm about to go bananas With the "when ya comin' bcack?"
So we're hittin' the road And we're pumpin' thunder Mama look out for down below Get the show on the road I's the feeling we're under You can feel it right down to Yout Knucklebones
One of these dark nights Asthe saying goes There's some dirty work To be done down by the crossroads Ans I know it's true
Ain't no use waitin' For your invitation King Kong never had it so clean We'll do the Fat Cat Shake We'll have our cake and eat it too You coukd never, no, no, no, never, beat this squeeze!
Because we're hittin0 the road And we're punpi' thunder Mama look out for down below Get the show on the road It's rally no wonder You can feel it right down To Your Knucklebones
Must be the heat Stop dreamin' and start drivin', Stevie (Repeat chorus).

I can hear the sound Of the North Star calling Put your high beams on Stay on my wing I'm falling And spinning and turning This is ultra-glide The beginnings of great things Cannot be seen By your naked eye
Can you see me kow crack the skies like lightnin' Mama's little sonic boom Is simply frighteninig I'm a skyscraper
Float like a buttuerfly Acrobatic Sting like a B-52 Dramatic And the radar locks on you No static
Can I reach it now I'm not up here often God only knows And he ain!t talkin' I'm a skyscraper.
Time rools on n' that's as it should be Here and gone Seems to move so quickly
Man, we was happy In our restless hearts It was heaven Right here on earth Yeah, we were lauthin' As we reached for the stars And we had some For what it was worth
Those were good times Damn good times Those were good times Damn good times
Hey, take a look at this picture, Can you beliee that was you? And who's that standin' there in the corner? Not me!!! Ahh, the crazy things we used to do Sure, we was acting like a couple of kids Good to remember You know that it is I still feel it Like the sun on my skin Maybe that's better
Cause these are good times Damn good tiemes Talkin' about good times Damn good times
So it's one for the money But that don't make the show Count to three and I'll be ready To follow that road (yes I will)
I see it comin' Yeah, and this one is outs We got heaven right here on Earth Ain't nothin' like it When you're reachin' for stars And you grab one For what it is worth
You can tell 'em We'll be having good times Damn good times I'm talkin' good times (yessir) Damn good times
I see ya shake and shimmy Cross the burger shop floor I never seen a woman move so slow I'm dyin' French-fryin' By the seat of my pants Take a bite of double fries Swear to god it make ya Late for the dance
Here's one for hte road One shot for the real go-getter Silly rabbit, you know just what it takes
A hot dog and a shake That's what you're hungry for A hot dog and a shake
My stomch's makin' noise We're having dinner late Cuz I gotta be kept In a cool dry place Just like any bowl of cherries When the cream is risin' to the top. You find your real bottom line is when your Spine snap crackie and pops, pal
Give me one to go He buddy, take a number She can't say no To what it takes
A hot dog nad a shake That's what you're hungry for A hot dog and a shake.
I'm more that just a victim Of a hungry heart Kiss me quick I'm double- parked
A hot dog and a shake That's what you're hungry for A hot dog and a shake
She looks like Monroe It's a good impersonation From start to finish It's her better side Head over heels Yes, he feels a strange sensation Excedrin Headache #65
That's the trouble with love That's the trouble with war You never get what you came for
Stand up, stand up The more you do it The less you fall down Stand up, stand up Put your head in the clouds And your feet on the ground Stand up, stand up For the time of your life You turn it up loud Stand up, stan up
What kind of fashion Is this flash infatuation Is all this admiration mutual Need no lessons In emotiona starvation Tat look in her eyes Is too good to be true...
So now you got a good reason Yeah, but you just gorra learn It's what makes the world turn
Stand up, stand up The more you do ti The less you fall down Stand up, stand up Put your head in the clouds And your feet on the ground Stand yp, stand up For the time of your life You turn it up loud And stand up stand up
Those eyes burn holes Into the starry night And when her sleepy eyes Are open wide You can fairly dance beneath her light And I'd love to get to know the natives But I'm only flesh and blood She'll share your joys But not your sorrows Mistress of the coming flood.
Hina Cool upon the silent sea Isn't she the moon queen
Hina Whispering, In my dreams You must come back to me
And the tides rise and a distant sigh Falls on deaf ears Her vision makes you every inch a king King for a million years And she loves you when you're leavin' And she'll leave you if you stay She says... "Don't tell me that you love me You'll hate me for hearning it When I drift away."
Hina I can hear you softly cry Your storms and lullablies
Hina I'll whisper in your dreams Till you come back to me.
Come back But she will never stay Come back And you must never wait..., Never wait. Never wait. Never wait.
Is this just a passing fancy Or another passing game Is this just a little something That fallen angels play? I've had a million fantasies But that was make-believe Baby, open up this door before I freeze.
Girl stop complaining You're afraid of the dark We'll go the distance I don't think it!s so far
I think it's perfect timing Well I tried to send a message Yes I tried the telefhone But I guess that I ain't lucky And my card say no one's home If the cards are on the table That's a calculated risk That's if accidental angels Do exist Justo for a moment If you think the moment's right Let's not lose that moment tonight
Cuz we've got perfect timing I'm thinkin' This is the right time, I'm hoping you feel the same Cuz that light at the end of the tunnel Is the front of an oncoming train.
