from The Family Man (패밀리 맨) by Danny Elfman [ost] (2000)
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here? Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/after the money's gone Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. And you may ask yourself How do I work this? And you may ask yourself Where is that large automobile? And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful house! And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful wife! Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/after the money's gone Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... Water dissolving...and water removing There is water at the bottom of the ocean Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean! Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/in the silent water Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground. Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/after the money's gone Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. And you may ask yourself What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself Am I right?...Am I wrong? And you may tell yourself MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE? Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/in the silent water Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground. Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/after the money's gone Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was... |

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all Up above the yard CHORUS She was glad about it... no doubt about it She isn't sure where she's gone No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions CHORUS |

There's a word for it
And words don't mean a thing There's name for it And names make all the difference in the world Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Let X make a statement Let breath pass through those cracked lips That man was my hero And now that word has been taken from us Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Give me back my name Give me back my name Something has been changed in my life Something has been changed in my life Something must be returned to us Something must me returned to us |

Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and
smiled. You might think she would say something, but you'd have to wait a while. Well the lady don't mind. No, no, no, the lady don't mind She just turns her head and disappears, I kinda like that style Little boat that floats on a river, it's drifting through a haze She stops by whenever she wants to, well, there she goes again Well, it's no trouble at all. No, no, no trouble at all Well, what she does is all right with me, and I kinda like that style Come on. come on. I go up and down. I like this curious feeling. I know, I see. It's like make believe. Cover your ears so you can hear what I'm saying. I'm not lost but I don't know Where I am. I got a question. All right. All right. This is what we like. Who knows, who knows, What I'm thinking She says love is not what she's after, and everyone knows. Each time she looks in the mirror, she lets her feelings show. Well, the lady don't mind No, no, no, the lady don't mind. Well, what she says is all right by me, and I kinda like that style Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Here we go again I don't know, I don't know, What I'm sayin'. Hey man. Hey man. I sure don't feel the same She likes to say what she's feeling Hey. Did I get a big surprise. I know you think so. Come on. Come on. She says anything. Who knows, who knows, what she's thinking. |

The dinosaurs did a dance The indians told a story Now it has come to pass The Indians had a legend The Spaniards lived for gold The white man came and killed them But they haven't really gone We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town From germany and Europe And Southern U.S.A. They made this little town here That we live in to this day The children of the white man Saw Indians on TV And heard about the legend How their city was a dream We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town The Civil War is over And World War One and Two If we can live together The dream it might come true Underneath the concrete The dream is still alive A hundred million lifetimes A world that never dies We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town |

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best An' I'm startin' over.. I'm startin' over in another place Lemme tell you a story Big chief with a golden crown He's got rings on his fingers And then he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands An' don't choo dare sit back Now don't choo dare sit down And don't choo dare speak up! And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh who could've asked for more? And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do Ooh what a day that was. There are 50,000 beggars Roaming in the streets They have lost all their possessions They have nothing left to eat Down come a bolt of lightning Start an electrical storm Starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I'm dreaming of a city It was my own invention I put the wheels in motion A time for big decisions And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else at all Ooh what a day that was. Oh a day that was Ooh that's the way it goes There's a million ways- to get things done There's a million ways- to make things work out. Well I'm going right through And the light came down Well they're roundin' 'em up from all over town They're movin' forward and backwards They're movin' backwards and front And they're enjoying themselves Moving in ev'ry direction And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who know the difference between right and wrong And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was. (We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live And in a great big room and That's the way we live.) x3 |

IFE DURING WARTIME
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway a place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire, off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message, to the receiver hope for an answer some day I got three passports, couple of visas don't even know my real name High on a hillside, trucks are loading everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B. I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.? You oughta know not to stand by the window somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter to last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers ain't got no headphones ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time? Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard I can't write nothing at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock we blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now don't know what I look like! You make me shiver, I feel so tender we make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving you ought to get you some sleep Get you instructions, follow directions then you should change your address Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day whatever you think is best Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace the burning keeps me alive Try to stay healthy, physical fitness don't want to catch no disease Try to be careful, don't take no chances you better watch what you say |

The sun is going down And the dogs are starting to howl We stay out after dark Eating cotton candy And the music's playing... How we all laughed!

Whistle while you work Our backs are breaking Up from hollow earth From end to end The noise begins In the human battle stations And the big one's coming in Work, work, work, work Work till holes are filled Work, work, work, work Bags of bone and skin Lovers hold hands Tossing their heads Tangled in hair Tied to earth With skin and glue But their skin is the same as yours Coming in for the world to see They can sit at the table, too The same blood as you and me Speak very softly Hold my hand Someone is sleeping In my bed Priests pass by Worms crawl in One dreams to be One dream for all His skin is the same as yours Is he not made the same as you? And some have fallen down And blood spilled on the ground Work, work, work Till his life is done The old man Is at our door And he's knocking Knocking As his neighbors weep Each day repeats Are we nothing in your eyes? Someone answer, someone answer This rusted garden gate Can barely even stand Their work is over now And rest will be at hand Is their skin not the same as yours? Can they sit at the table to drink Cool water Cool water And his lungs are filled with rain And the water's rushing in |

In a world
Where people have problems In this world Where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems They overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue But I don't have the time So many people have their problems I'm not interested in their problems I guess I've experienced some problems But now I've made some decisions It takes a lot of time To push away the nonsense Take my compassion Push it as far as it goes My interest level's dropping My interest level is dropping I've heard all I want to, and I Don't want to hear any more What are you, in Love with your problems? I think you take it A little too far, it's Not so cool to have So many problems But don't expect me To explain your indecisions Go talk to your analysts Isn't that what they're paid for? Ooh, you, you walk, you talk You still function like you used to Ooh, it's not a question Of your personality or style Be a little more selfish It might do you some good In a world Where people have problems In this world Where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems They overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue But I don't have the time Here we go again |

Trying to act casual Can't stop I might end up in the hospital Changing my shape I feel like an accident They're back To explain their experience Isn't it weird? Looks too obscure to me Wasting away That was their policy I'm ready to leave I push the fact in front of me Facts lost Yeah, facts are never what they seem to be Nothing there No information left of any kind L-l-lifting my head L-l-looking for the danger signs There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside The island of doubt It's like the taste of medicine Working by hindsight Got the message from the oxygen M-m-making a list Find the cost of opportunity Doing it right Facts are useful in emergencies The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to Facts just twist the truth around Facts are living turned inside out Facts are getting the best of them Facts are nothing on the face of things I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting |

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go Heard of some grave sites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, couple of visas Don't even know my real name High on a hillside trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? why go to night school? Gonna be different this time? Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard I can't write nothing at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now Don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive |

Near where you are standing, the dinosaurs did a dance
The Indians told a story how it has come to pass The Indians had a legend, the Spaniards lived for gold White men came and killed them, but they haven't really gone We live in the city of dreams We drive on this highway of fire Should we awake to find it gone Remember this, our favorite town From Germany and Europe and southern U.S.A. They made this little town here that we live in to this day The children of the white man saw Indians on TV And heard about the legend, how their city was a dream We live in the city of dreams We drive on this highway of fire Should we awake and find it gone Remember this, our favorite town The Civil War is over, and World War I and II If we can live together, the dream, it might come true Underneath the concrete, the dream is still alive A hundred million lifetimes, a world that never dies We live in the city of dreams We drive on this highway of fire Should we awake and find it gone Remember this, our favorite town We live in the city of dreams We drive on this highway of fire Should we awake and find it gone Remember this, our favorite town |

Well I know Those you don't understand you criticise And I know I can never mean anything within your eyes Stop acting like that Everybody lives to rearrange You've got to understand Nothing can ever stay the same Without my love What w ould it be without you Well I know If I don't understand you'll sympathise And I know If I've never seen everything you'll realise While I'm acting like that Everybody seems to rearrange I've got to understand Nothing can ever stay the same What would it be without you Without my love Without you Stop acting like that Picking on my needs you turn away I've got to understand Nothing can ever stay the same Without my love What would it be without you The story ends |

Falling, falling
Gonna drop like a stone I'm falling through the atmosphere On a warm afternoon If lovers discover That everyone dies So don't tell me, please hold me It's a dangerous life Daddy, dear, let's get outta here I'm scared Ten o'clock, nighttime in New York It's weird If you're looking for trouble Well, that's what you will find Mom and Pop, they will fuck you up For sure Love so deep, kills you in your sleep It's true Love keeps us together And love will keep us alive And we are criminals that never broke no laws And all we needed was a net to break our fall Ha, they're searching for diamonds They're grabbing at straws Sex and sin, sax and violins It's hell Wooden heads, furniture with legs For sale Love keeps us together And love will drive us insane And we are criminals that never broke no laws And all we needed was a net to break our fall Going home, back where I belong To stay The rays of light, they will turn the night To day Birds travel together Birds follow the sun And I am watching as the birds go flying home |

"Damn that television...what a bad picture"
"Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster" "There's nothing on tonight," he said, "I don't know what's the matter!" "Nothing's ever on," she said, "so...I don't know why you bother." We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times People fighting over little things and wasting precious time They might be better off...I think...the way it seems to me Making up their own shows, which might be better than T.V. Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again... Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit There might even be a spinoff, but they're not sure 'bout that If they ever watch T.V. again, it'd be too soon for them Bob never yells about the picture now, he's having too much fun Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again... So think about this little scene, apply it to your life If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right Just look at Bob and Judy, they're happy as can be Inventing situations, putting them on T.V. Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, he's having a vacation They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again... |

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house Hold tight wait till the party's over Hold tight We're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard The transportation is here Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire All wet hey you might need a raincoat Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty five degrees Burning down the house It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work baby what did you except Gonna burst into flame My house S'out of the ordinary That's might Don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire |

IFE DURING WARTIME
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway a place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire, off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message, to the receiver hope for an answer some day I got three passports, couple of visas don't even know my real name High on a hillside, trucks are loading everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B. I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.? You oughta know not to stand by the window somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter to last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers ain't got no headphones ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time? Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard I can't write nothing at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock we blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now don't know what I look like! You make me shiver, I feel so tender we make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving you ought to get you some sleep Get you instructions, follow directions then you should change your address Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day whatever you think is best Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace the burning keeps me alive Try to stay healthy, physical fitness don't want to catch no disease Try to be careful, don't take no chances you better watch what you say |

Nothing can come between us
Nothing gets you down Nothing strikes your fancy Nothing turns you on You don't have to wait for more instructions No one makes a monkey out of me We lie on our backs, feet in the air Rest and relaxation rocket to my brain Snap into position Bounce till you ache Step out of line (and) You end up in jail Bring me a doctor I have a hole in my head They are just people And I'm not afraid Doctor, doctor We have nothing in our pockets We continue But we have nothing left to offer Faces pressed against the window Hey...they are just my friends Check this out, don't be so slick Break our backs, it goes like this We are born without eyesight We are born without sin And our mama protects us From the cold and the rain We're in no hurry Sugar and spice We sing in the darkness We open our eyes (Open up) I can't believe it And people are strange Our president's crazy Did you hear what he said? Business and pleasure Lie right to your face Divide it in sections And give it away Well, there are no big secrets Don't believe what you read We have great big bodies We got great big heads Run--a, run--a, run it all together Check it out Still don't make no sense Makin' flippy floppy Tryin' to do my best Lock the door We kill the beast Kill it! |

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best An' I'm startin' over.. I'm startin' over in another place Lemme tell you a story Big chief with a golden crown He's got rings on his fingers And then he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands An' don't choo dare sit back Now don't choo dare sit down And don't choo dare speak up! And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh who could've asked for more? And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do Ooh what a day that was. There are 50,000 beggars Roaming in the streets They have lost all their possessions They have nothing left to eat Down come a bolt of lightning Start an electrical storm Starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I'm dreaming of a city It was my own invention I put the wheels in motion A time for big decisions And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else at all Ooh what a day that was. Oh a day that was Ooh that's the way it goes There's a million ways- to get things done There's a million ways- to make things work out. Well I'm going right through And the light came down Well they're roundin' 'em up from all over town They're movin' forward and backwards They're movin' backwards and front And they're enjoying themselves Moving in ev'ry direction And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who know the difference between right and wrong And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was. (We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live And in a great big room and That's the way we live.) x3 |

When the world crashes in into my living room Television man made me what I am People like to put the television down But we are just good friends (I'm a) television man I knew a girl, she was a macho man But it's alright, I wasn't fooled for long This is the place for me I'm the king, and you're the queen CHORUS Take a walk in the beautiful garden Everyone would like to say hello It doesn't matter what you say Come and take us away The world crashes in, into my living room The world crashes in, into my living room The world crashes in, into my living room The world crashes in, into my living room And we are still good friends...(Television man) I'm watching everything...(Television man) Television man...(Television man) I'm watching everything...(Television man) Television man...and I'm gonna say We are still good friends...and I'm trying to be Watchin' everything...and I gotta say We are still good friends...You know the way it is Television man...I've got what you need We are still good friends...I know the way you are Television man...I know what you're tryin' to be Watchin' everything...and I gotta say That's how the story ends. |

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now, she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes The world was moving, and she was right there with it, and she was The world was moving, she was floating above it, and she was And she was And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the Earth Moving into the universe, and she's Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all, and she's Up above the yard The world was moving, and she was right there with it, and she was The world was moving, she was floating above it, and she was She was glad about it, no doubt about it She isn't sure what she's done No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions The world was moving, and she was right there with it, and she was The world was moving, she was floating above it, and she was, hey, hey Joining the world of missing persons, and she was, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Missing enough to feel alright, and she was And she was And she was And she was And she was And she was And she was And she was And she was |

I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away It moves the clouds over my new building I've picked the building that I want to live in I smell the pine trees and the beeches in the woods I see the pine cones that fall by the highway That's the highway that goes to the building I've picked the building that I want to live in It's over there, it's over there My building has every convenience It's gonna make life easy for me It's gonna be easy to get things done I will relax along with my loved ones Loved ones, loved ones visit the building Take the highway, park and come up and see me I'll be working, working, but if you come visit I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important Don't you worry 'bout me I wouldn't worry about me Don't you worry 'bout me Don't you worry 'bout me I see the states across this big nation I see the laws made in Washington, D.C. I think of the ones I consider my favorites I think of the people that are working for me Some civil servants are just like my loved ones They work so hard, and they try to be strong I'm a lucky guy to live in my building They all need buildings to help them along It's over there, it's over there My building has every convenience It's gonna make life easy for me It's gonna be easy to get things done I will relax along with my loved ones Loved ones, loved ones visit the building Take the highway, park and come up and see me I'll be working, working but if you come visit I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important I wouldn't worry 'bout me It wouldn't worry about me Don't you worry 'bout me Don't you worry 'bout me |
