Color me once, Color me twice, Everything gonna turn out nice. Everlasting love, you gotta keep me from these false alarms Alarm, alarm I seem so sad. Ring, ring I see her I'm glad. Maybe, maybe the fire of her desire Patience, patience said ;the man, Patience, patience, I can't understand. Patience like a man and a wife. I got patience on my neck like a coco that. I say, Jack be nimble, Jack fall dead, Jack bend over and give Jilly head. Oh, you gotta help my body heal my soul.
Dead men working, a sinner, a saint. Mixing up a pail of paint. Painted the house, black as night, When the sun came up the house was white. Gotta go on, gotta go on, we gotta go on, you gotta go on, we gotta go on
It seems that the problem is very deep 'cause everytime I try to sleep I have nightmares thinking about getting together with you no no I wouldn't say so I would not call it a curse but what worries me then is when I wake up if it might be worse

You look like you could be the mother of a girl a girl I hated more than any other girl in the world the way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face no I'm not joking yes I was choking You look like you could be the mother of a girl a girl I loved more than any other girl in the world the way that i treated her was totally a crime I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind no I'm not joking yes I was choking You look like you could be the mother of a boy who bored me more than any other man in the land the way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt no I'm not joking yes I was choking
Well I'm reading this poem and it's so profound and I like its rhythm and I like its sound it's by a very famous poet no critic can criticise and then I pause a moment and I start to realize he's tellin' lies lies lies on the motel TV. I dig the evangelist he'll tell you all about that and then he tell you all about this he's preachin' up a storm by the sea of Galilee he's mixin' up the truth with something funny I start to see he's tellin' lies lies lies I never had this problem with nobody in the government I guess I always figured they never mean what they meant and GOD help us all not to be so stone surprised when we wake up in the stars with the skies in our eyes if we keep tellin' lies lies lies
See my ships they are sailing in and out of the harbor will they go together or must they stay apart yes I know it's in my heart surely you see what's inside of me Jesus is coming soon I can hear Gabriel blow his trumpet tune this I know this I know our lord is coming soon mercy mercy me Marvin Gaye he was shot by his father o my Father have mercy on me cold kane o my cheap thrill o my shame for Cain and the devil momma I need water I'm thirsty surely you see what's inside of me
Don't start me on the liquor I'll drink it all down straight I'll make a toast to love But I drink the most When I got somebody to hate
CHORUS I'm an old man I got an old man's pain Will the morning Will the morning ever come again
Well, I'm likin' lickin' a lotta liquor I'm drinkin' down the drink I'll take a toast to life But I drink the most When my devil start to thing
CHORUS
Oh, I could drink, drink, drink So I can't think, think, think
I got a hope or a home In this life I'm all alone On this long cold lonely night of fright Followed by a lonely day 'Til there's nothing left I can say Except I didn't know I was sick And so I got sicker He's a low down lying Peckerwood cotton picker
Don't start me on the liquor I got nothing more to say I had a little money But it all flown away And I said oh man Oh, ain't that a shame Oh, I keep moanin', I keep moanin' Like I got an old man's pain
Don't Don't start Don't start me Don't start me on Don't start me on the Don't start me on the liquor
New times, new times, new times Good morning, good morning, good morning
I'm the guard At one time this was rather pleasant The poets they still had to muse Over the classicism of clean shoes But who today still knows a button stick
CHORUS Well, that's the new times That's the new times That's the new times
The girls would lie down before us First one went dancing, then behind the bushes Today you have to run through twenty places Get drunk on saccharin and methyl And then you still don't get them that far
CHORUS
Now take it easy there in the early morning If somewhere there lies a cadaver Or something is foul in the state You can be sure that a writer is not far behind With his Excellency I only say Hands off literature The laurel wreath one gets today Second hand so to speak >From the Empire's stores Sold underhand at the Alexanderplatz With all the wigs and costumes Twitching from the shoulder one is informed
Now every once in a while There's a crack in my smile Dark voices are talking to me Dark voices tell me the way It's supposed to be They said "Breakin' up" They said "It's hard to do" But what they say About breakin' up Y'know it's just not true Breakin' up, it's easy to do Breakin' up, it's easy to do Why if you know Why did you have to go And leave me on t he floor About as sick as a dog I'm feeding my face Like a bleary-eyed hog Why'd it have to stop With so much good undone Breakin' up, it's easy to do Breakin' up, it's easy to do Breakin' up, it's easy to do Y'know I break up every time I break up with you
Well I was sentenced to prison To do about one year They said it isn't so bad We got a good band here We play every Wednesday night Sometimes Tuesday too It's the music of the future and it will get to you When I heard the band for the first time They has no (rhythm). They had no (rhyme) Well it almost like a dream I never wanted to have It drove me (crazy). It drove me (mad) The man said: "C'mon and play And here's an instrument for you It's an ancient flute It's in the key of 2. Blow..." I gotta get more time. I gotta stay in here I used to be foggy But the music made me clear Now the jail in rockin' like Elvis never knew I'm on the inside now. I'm in the key of 2 Now we all are lifers and I'm in the band too We play my favorite song. It's in the key of 2 And it will get to you It's the music of the future and it will get to you And it will get to you It's the music of the future. It's in the key of 2
How will I stand the summer When spring was such a bummer How will I weather my winter When my fall was such a ballbuster It's spring and there'll be no spring fling When my winter was what a winner And I am taking a fall 'Cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all How will I stand the summer When the spring just made me dumber How will I fare my fall Will I lose my mind in the wintertime It's spring and I'm a spring ding-a-ling It's summer and I'm just a little dumber And I am taking a fall 'Cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all Thru' the 4 seasons I'm searching for reasons I'm not gonna take the spring 'Cause the spring don't mean a thing I'm not gonna take the winter My winter is a splinter I'm not gonna take the summer Summer is such a bummer But I am taking the fall 'Cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all Thru' the 4 seasons I'm searching for reasons Vivaldi, The 4 Seasons It seems to me to be a theme of love With no variations of aggravations Spring, summer, winter and fall Spring, summer, winter and fall Spring, summer, winter and fall If I ain't got you I got nothing at all
I got a machine And I took over the world In one weekend I took over the world With my machine I did it because I was looking for a project And it was either Take over the world or learn French So I took over the world And next weekend I can learn French I got a machine And I took over the world But nothing changed That wouldn't be fair
Are you a Republican or a Democrat A liberal fascist full of crap
CHORUS
Somebody somewhere might be something But everybody everywhere Knows that I'm nothing Politics and dirty tricks I got no time for stones and sticks Politics and dirty dricks I got no time I'm chasing chicks
CHORUS
Somebody somwhere might be something But everybody everywhere Knows that I'm nothing I'm nothing but I'm not proud 'Cause being nothing it's not allowed Are you a gay or are you straight Do you believe in love Or do you believein hate
CHORUS
Somebody somewhere said he was something But to everybody everywhere I'm saying I'm nothing I'm nothing, I'm like a cloud I'm free to be alone in a crowd What's your reality, it's not real to me What's your anomaly, it is my destiny
I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G
I'm nothin' Nothin' Nothin'
I'm nothing now and I'll be nothing when This nothing world has its nothing end
