Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys Making all that noise 'Cause they found new toys Well we can't salute you Can't find a flag If that don't suit you That's a drag School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces No more pencils, no more books No more teacher's dirty looks Well, we got no class And we got no principles And we got no innocence We can't even think of a world that rhymes School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces No more pencils, no more books No more teacher's dirty looks Out for summer, out till fall We might not go back at all School's out for summer School's out forever School's out with fever School's out completely |

If the day wants to begin, you can let the day in
If the darkness has no end, light up the darkness It ain't on what you can depend, it's who you can depend on If the rain wants to come in, you can let the rain in If the darkness is your friend, you can hold the darkness And if it ain't what you got, you know you gotta have it The grass gets greener all the time for creatures of habit Look out, here comes one more morning Habits form without a warning Love it can be habit-forming Make your enemies your friends, and leap standing naked It ain't how much you can take, it's how you take it Look out, here comes one more morning Habits form without a warning Love it can be habit-forming for creatures of habit Look out A habit's forming It's just one more morning For creatures of habit |

Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying And it comes back to you, all the things that you do Will come looking for you, will come looking for you But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls But I will still be laughing I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing I will still be laughing |

Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

Nothing happened, it's just two people passing through
Hearing voices in my head, hope they never lie to you Why's something always gotta be up with you Whatever I do is never enough for someone like you Passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Who'll forgive me, who's to say if it's right or wrong And you won't see me in a light that shines on me And how come something's always gotta be up with you Back on my feet but the night's getting long, do you think about me too Turning blood into wine It's passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line And if they ask you how I'm doing Just tell 'em that I'm fine Staying out all the time Is turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Blood into wine |

When you chew my ear off, try and let me know
You will never get another piece of me Cause in a New York blackout, things go kinda slow And you miss the things you never thought you'd see There's still so many things I want to be Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep In a New York blackout, it's so hard to see All the angels that are looking after me The lies bounce off the water in your eyes And the dead lift their heads and come alive And I may never escape this darkened city But still I'm trying to find you in this blackout Where it's warm inside and always open late And the doors to hell look just like heaven's gate And you never know what's going on inside 'Til you step out in the cold and seal your fate And you might just stop in and say hello But you've got much more important places to go Make sure you let everybody know That I may never enlight this darkened city Still i'm trying to find you in this blackout In a New York blackout, you might think I'm gone But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door |

It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away At the top of the day When the reign sways Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away Please don't ask me how I am, a little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The smile that remains Will take these chains away |

I've been loved and hated I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated No, I don't believe it I just can't conceive it I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it Oh no, don't know what's the matter Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down If I don't get what I want And there ain't enough to go around I become oblivious to the obvious Just ridiculous As I flip the pages You're a time that ageless In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages Though we were related Couldn't be separated Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated If I don't get what you want And you don't get what I need We become oblivious to the obvious Just dysfunctional Shut down When I can't get keep from getting down And I grow tired of hangin' 'round I become invisible, unlivable Just dysfunctional Shut down |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

She swings the string of pearls on the corner
The street lights reflect the light in the water The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver Who's racing to the delivery room 'Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb And the sack breaks and out come the Siamese Twins Who grow up to become the first President With two heads Are better than one He puts his heads in his hands, says I got to put my heads together I can become the best President ever And not just President Fend for yourself Signs his name, takes the blame for all of the names with no shame In their beliefs They adjourn and they leave, and in walks a man With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands And he sweeps everything under the rug And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug But his wife was not there, she had just left a letter That said "you'd be much better off without me" Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral Who died in the bathroom, hit his head on a urinal When they got together, the knowledge was carnal And the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfight And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting And the preacher just left in the middle of the service 'Cause death was one thing, but women made him nervous And he ran to his car and he drove 'round the corner Then something in the street caught the light in his eye He pulled over, reached down, and picked up a pearl from the gutter And he didn't know what to think And he brought it home and washed it in the sink And he gave the pearl to Sister Mary Teresa Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa, A young prostitute who was missing a pearl On the necklace that broke late last night |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin' I was a key that could use a little turnin' So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I could't keep Promised myself I would't weep One more promise I could't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray *Run away train never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I Should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mistery seem so faded I can go where no one else can go I know,what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night. earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it *Repeat Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain A little out of touch. little insane It's just easier than feelin' with the pain *Repeat Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems to stay |

I'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart
I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart If I can keep it up If I can keep it up I've been complaining like a broken record Gonna get what I want if it takes forever If I can keep it up If I can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing I know it seems funny tryin' to understand It's just that things don't always go the way you planned Still you keep it up Still you keep it up Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down I'm just a-holdin' out, just a-hangin' round Tryin' to keep it up Just to keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x4) 747's gonna take us away Take us up to heaven, gonna be okay If we can keep it up If we can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x8) |

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

Lives in a little lonely town
No one's around except for the drinking Nobody ever gets around But those who leave the township sinking May you rot in heaven Gotta be home by seven And the field burns away The sky breathes it in So why sit and wait for the new world to begin I'm comin' out across your border With new orders for you to take I'd really like to take out your daughter Down in the water, down by the lake When the cold water's on her skin I can feel how long it's been And the neighbors will all be there And no one will know what to wear So why sit and wait for the world to begin I got a lot I gotta do Just to get through the end of the day It hardly ever even happens But I go to sleep the same anyway And you can't believe in yourself You can't believe in anyone else So why sit and wait for the new world to begin |

I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face So seriously I took her I was a disgrace I was out of line; I was out of place Out of time to save face See the open mouth of my suitcase Sayin' leave this place Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to get a good job With honest pay I might as well join the mob The benefits are okay Standing in the sun with a popsicle Everything is possible With a lot of luck and a pretty face And some time to waste Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to dance at a funeral New Orleans style I joined the Grave Dancer's Union I had to file Trying to do the right thing, play it straight The right thing changes from state to state Don't forget to take your mace If you're out walking late I liked to see your face You left without a trace You leave without a trace |

You must polish all the time Though I know your job is thankless They will thank you up in heaven Oh, the sun maid Looking for the shade Though they say she's not too bright She takes care of all the light Without you it's cold and stark We would all be in the dark Without the sun maid She never gets paid Searching for the shade Oh the sun maid You are so taken for granted With each and every seed that's planted And the earth is so demanding All the young girls are out tanning With the sun maid She's such an old maid She never gets laid Oh the sun maid Now you're tired, your day is over Now the moon is one day older |

Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down? I said "hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me" "Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from me?" Sometimes I feel like a stranger, I feel like a stranger I'm just another face in a faceless crowd, I'm just another king in a headless crown I'm so alone. Y'know I live here in this city, but this place it just ain't nobody's home Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man made world Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl Sometimes I feel like stranger, I feel like a stranger I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had a chance You see, I got a happy family, but that's oh so far away You see, I've got it all here inside me, but I just can't seem to get it out But I know with a little imagination we can work this whole goddamn thing out Oh don't make me feel so strange, I feel like a stranger |

Movie cameras rolling in And there goes my hero with his head between his legs And all this time I believed in him Now, what is the sound of snow falling down On the tombstone in the dead of the night? And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? And where will you be in 1993? Still sitting in the same chair Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner But I've never really been touched there Hey ain't it strange how some things never change Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed But I was just depressed about my last pinball game I've learned to accept and not to expect The respect and neglect that I get I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet And on this I place my last bet Hey did you give what you get Did you get what you give? of your ?? Winning is for winners And I know spring follows winter But I've never really been touched there You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice And you can't find peace anywhere Love's just not for lovers Get off your high horse brother Drop your fist and get out of here |

Stroll away the chains that wrap around me
Wipe the spider webs from my eyes Tumble down the tall walls that surround me I won't need no lies no alibis My new feeling New feeling (x5) Daydreams screams They just don't seem so far away No I'm not possessed by my possessions Lift my head to clear my right to die You're in love with your evangelist investment I don't need an alibi My new feeling New feeling (x5) Daydreams screams They just don't seem so far away My head's like a wrecking ball and you look like a wall Mopping up the tears that fill your eyes This is my life, my right and that's not all I just laughed my head off and cried My new feeling ... |

Riding into town when the sun goes down
And the natives get restless and the crowd comes round Pacing in place in a backward race While starting my case to another blank face I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But i need a better reason to cry Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Now everything's lovely if you're ugly What you would, what you should, and what you could be Mr right, spending his life, Stabbing himself with a butter knife I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But I need a better reason to cry Growing pain's a spinning blade Whirling round you like a razor edged chain It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same Its down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who can make that change Can't shake hands with boxing gloves With whips and chains you'll never make love |

You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me You won't know and you're never claim to show That special feeling inside Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go Up to the skies and it only goes to show I've waited here for you a long, long time I think i'd better go Long way home (x4) So now you studied the changes Have you lost your way Through all the strangeness And you got no more to say Long way home (x8) |

Peeping Tom creepin' through the mornin' moonlight (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Like a crazy coyote in the middle of the night (ohh, ohh, ohh) You keep taggin' along 'til it does you wrong Sometimes it takes so long for you to say so long Not for the lone rider Lone rider Woah Huh Ya Black cloud troll wherever he goes (ohh, ohh, ohh) He breaks out in a cold sweat when you get too close Your suitcase is home long may you roam lone rider Ohh, baby's cryin' please come home lone rider The reflections in the water but the water's a mirage It's like a dream machine that never leaves the garage Your boots start walkin', as the story goes People start talkin' and he wrestlessness gows They say he hates people, say he's a queer Never listens but always hears Off into the sunset he disappears Surely the last time to come around here, oh no Ride on Ride on Ride on |

A sweet scent of discontent rising in the air
You don't get old you just get passive and then you stand and stare Hey nobody's keeping you from stopping Like a bulb without a socket your finger trigger's itching but you forgot to cock it And things didn't turn out the way you thought they would be No you can't take that out on me If you can find a better way then I ain't standing in your way I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just that you ain't that tough Ain't that tough ain't that tough A graveyard of bottles and a If you're so brave why's a .45 hang from your hips Nobody's keeping you from stopping You're always threatening to kill yourself well why don't you just do it right here, right now I didn't turn out the way you thought I would be No you can't take that out on me I thought I was talking to someone else I guess I was talking to myself I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just you ain't that tough Last time I saw you you were talking just like me Now you're talking like some hollywood actress, what the hell's that supposed to mean? You ain't that tough you ain't that tough ... |

I hope you don't mind the pain I wanna cut you And let you force it out clean It'd be a shot quick I think I know how this works Things will be better Because they can't get much worse And we will carry on Carry… carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on Whenever I see you I know you think I don't know That I could be you And your thoughts they don't show I want to trust you I want to trust you so bad I want to bust you Stealing the few things we had And we will carry on Carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on (Now's the place to lose your faith Keep the faith that reinstates the habits That are forming what you feel) This will be over |

In a town without a name
there is no shame no blame to claim one fine day the pilgrims came and made new rules for an old game And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play So they built a big smoke stack Built a railroad track They made the dirt roads black And they did it behind your back And now you pay their tax hoping something cracks And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play From out of the dust came corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend And you can't make me leave There's a billboard in the sky Reflecting water in your eyes This big city, this ghost town Will come crawling to the ground And I'm waiting for the hurricane To blow you away And I'm searching for my twister to twist you into shape Now my speach is said and done The circus came, I had my fun And the wasteland has been won And the building has begun And I'm waiting for the earthquake To shake you down And I see my mother nature Trying to drag you around From out of the dust came Corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend (Then you can't make believe?) |

Dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
Woke up in a cold, dark basement looking through candlelights Up all night, silly kid come crashing down (just one more taker) Like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Did he hand you the reigns of the morning news? He lulled you asleep 'til the Aussie cat mews When the leaves from the trees come crashing down (don't time pass slowly) When the seasons don't change, they're spinning around Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Let me in |

Picture if you will a house on the hill
Where the family kills each other for a place in the will Understand that he came a dirty old man That holds a plastic rosary in the palm of his hand And under the rug you will sweep (under the rug you will sweep) Secrets and promises that you can't keep (promises that you can't keep) The dam it will leak, it will weep Said "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep" Why'd you wanna watch and wait, you can't walk on water Get your feet on the ground There's a hole in the floor, hole in the door Whole wide world waiting to turn you around And under the rug you will sweep (and under the rug you will sweep) Secrets and promises you can't keep (promises that you can't keep) The dam it will leak, it will weep Said "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep" Now how will you keep yourself busy? Take the trouble you're leaving behind And dig down deep where you do not belong there Shine a light where the sun doesn't shine Seven days, still no sign of daylight Your tunnel's collapsing from behind And how the hell did I get to Alaska Will it shine, the light where the sun doesn't shine? |

You sold your soul for a lump of coal
She's blacker than the night Didn't think you'd be needing it But you thought But you never know who you might meet On the street where the church bells ring to a different beat Is it joy, is it pain? Is it rustin' in the rain? Do you really think I need it? Is it just plain evil? Heard of a man who had a plan To save the wretched world Nationwide genocide, like one-eyed jacks And suicide queens Look out for if you know what I mean Is it good, is it bad? Is it bitter, is it sad? Is it inside all these people? Is it just plain evil? You've got a lot to learn You've got a lot to change, you've got nothing to lose But a ball and chain Is it good, is it bad?Is it bitter, is it sad? Do you really think I need it? Is it just plain evil? |

The mirror on the wall it tells no lies
And oh I don't like what I see I see a woman there I watch her as she cries And the woman isn't really me But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday I wish I didn't feel this way I can't get nothing done And all I want to do is go to sleep Though I lie in bed for hours I cannot close my eyes And lonely days turn into lonely weeks But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday Every now and then I think things might be all right And I think I see a light beyond the door Just as I approach it disappears again And everything seems darker than before But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday |

It's a second hand story no one wants to hear
And it's wet with blood, salted with tears It's black and white and red all over, happens all the time This was something about an artificial heart She lived in a sleepy town trailer home park Where not many people go out after dark Innocent helpless at 17, queen of every loser's wet dream Which brings us to our villain but a mother could love He liked amputation and the Lord above He kidnapped her on her way home from school She lost her mind, he lost his cool She didn't tell him about the artificial heart Then some kid found her head Then an arm and a leg and you know the rest they said The artificial heart it was still beating With a needle and a thread they sewed on her head She's alive and well like she was never dead She doesn't remember the day she didn't die Or how everybody cried She read a story in the paper how she was victimized And you should have seen the look in her eyes Her assailant was acquitted and as she read I swear she laughed off her head |

I said "Hey brown girl I seen tears through the window of the junk shop downtown"
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down? I said "hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me" "Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from me?" Sometimes I feel like a stranger, I feel like a stranger I'm just another face in a faceless crowd, I'm just another king in a headless crown I'm so alone. Y'know I live here in this city, but this place it just ain't nobody's home Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man made world Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl Sometimes I feel like stranger, I feel like a stranger I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had a chance You see, I got a happy family, but that's oh so far away You see, I've got it all here inside me, but I just can't seem to get it out But I know with a little imagination we can work this whole goddamn thing out Oh don't make me feel so strange, I feel like a stranger |

What are you doing here in my nightmare? (In my nightmare)
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere (Gets me nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Wake me up and let me go (from) somebody I used to know From somewhere in my nightmare. Don't you remember the years we got nowhere? (We got nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're playing with a different joker, but there's always one more sucker And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round But it won't let you down. Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for my dreams? |

Now you're mad and leaving home
'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to Isn't it nice to go outside When you know there is no place you have to walk to You can live alone inside a crowded room And it's never, never too late, never too soon Put on your frown to go downtown You have come a long long way Even though you have no idea where you're going You ain't done a godamn thing all afternoon Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon And it's never, never too late, never too soon I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't go on I can't go on It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky All the things you held so high Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing Now you're growing old and bored Do you think that maybe you could teach me something There is nothing that you really can assume And it's never, never too late, never too soon Now you're mad I know you're mad Now you're mad I know you're mad Why don't you just tell someone It's not like you're the only one It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky I can teach you how to drive You can teach me how to lie Hush my darling don't you cry This could be your lullaby |

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in And there goes my hero with his head between his legs And all this time I believed in him Now, what is the sound of snow falling down On the tombstone in the dead of the night? And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? And where will you be in 1993? Still sitting in the same chair Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner But I've never really been touched there Hey ain't it strange how some things never change Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed But I was just depressed about my last pinball game I've learned to accept and not to expect The respect and neglect that I get I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet And on this I place my last bet Hey did you give what you get Did you get what you give? of your ?? Winning is for winners And I know spring follows winter But I've never really been touched there You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice And you can't find peace anywhere Love's just not for lovers Get off your high horse brother Drop your fist and get out of here |

In a town without a name
there is no shame no blame to claim one fine day the pilgrims came and made new rules for an old game And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play So they built a big smoke stack Built a railroad track They made the dirt roads black And they did it behind your back And now you pay their tax hoping something cracks And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play From out of the dust came corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend And you can't make me leave There's a billboard in the sky Reflecting water in your eyes This big city, this ghost town Will come crawling to the ground And I'm waiting for the hurricane To blow you away And I'm searching for my twister to twist you into shape Now my speach is said and done The circus came, I had my fun And the wasteland has been won And the building has begun And I'm waiting for the earthquake To shake you down And I see my mother nature Trying to drag you around From out of the dust came Corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend (Then you can't make believe?) |

This will be over
I hope you don't mind the pain I wanna cut you And let you force it out clean It'd be a shot quick I think I know how this works Things will be better Because they can't get much worse And we will carry on Carry… carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on Whenever I see you I know you think I don't know That I could be you And your thoughts they don't show I want to trust you I want to trust you so bad I want to bust you Stealing the few things we had And we will carry on Carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on (Now's the place to lose your faith Keep the faith that reinstates the habits That are forming what you feel) This will be over |

You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me You won't know and you're never claim to show That special feeling inside Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go Up to the skies and it only goes to show I've waited here for you a long, long time I think i'd better go Long way home (x4) So now you studied the changes Have you lost your way Through all the strangeness And you got no more to say Long way home (x8) |

Dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
Woke up in a cold, dark basement looking through candlelights Up all night, silly kid come crashing down (just one more taker) Like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Did he hand you the reigns of the morning news? He lulled you asleep 'til the Aussie cat mews When the leaves from the trees come crashing down (don't time pass slowly) When the seasons don't change, they're spinning around Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Let me in |

Shipwreck sailors searching for some fools gold
They're the local drunken boys Been out drinking all night feeling alright We watch them kill each other in a fight Ship of fools, drunken hearts Making yet another new start Ain't it hard to play that part When you've got a drunken heart I can't change the world by complaining You can't change it with a kiss (Be no?) concentrating contemplating No time to find out what we miss Ship of fools ... |

He's a stranger to authority, welcome to the minority.
It's not someplace you have to go, it's not something you have to know. Don't do this, don't touch that. Hey, draw the line I'll speak my mind, maybe I'll wait for another time. Sometimes you get close to those who wait, Sometimes it makes you hesitate. Some folks find more humanity, some folks find more than sanity. Don't do this, don't do that, don't try this, don't do that, Don't try this, don't touch that. Hey, do it for the last time. By the weight of the world coming down, down on, down on up to me. Down on up to me, wait for another time. When you look down on me, I get so uppity, Starting my own army, just me and my friends, said you better get ready. Hahaha. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to me. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to Though it might just come down to trust, It sometimes just comes down to lust, that's just one person's point of view. |

Thought I heard you screaming
And pulling out your hair Furious and steaming, a state upon your stare Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that Dirt will always be there, it's only Dirt around you and dirt surrounds you and Follows you everywhere Here's a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut The heart of it, it sparkles, the more it can corrupt Don't you know, dirt can't hurt you I'm truly certain, usually washes out Don't you know, rain will wash out the Stain and all of your, pain will work itself out Work it out, 'fraid you've lost your innocence To some-odd social scene, you're right on top But you've been replaced, by a shiny new machine And dirt keeps following you, and you don't know what it means You're a little too clean, a little too clean, a little too clean One day dirt will bury you and you will understand There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there It's only dirt around you and Dirt surrounds you and follows you everywhere 'Fraid you've lost your innocence, to some-odd social scene You're right on top, but you've been replaced By a shiny new machine and dirt keeps following you And you don't know what it means, you're a little too clean A little too clean, a little too clean |
