I want to vent my frustration These meaningless words could use replacement Just five men out on the commons But I bet my life one day they’ll be comin’ And when they sing along If they can sing it out And when they sing it out Deep breath we all can start again My voice box ain’t too complacent Caught in a lock down at the police station There’s a sun ray creeping in with light There’s a crack begun to fill There’s a moan that wakes you from your sleep There’s sound down from the hill You can crash and burn a hundred times Still you know that it is right Gonna rise up tonight Gonna rise up tonight Rising from the pavement Like a sound up off the pavement Hear a crash out on the pavement Hear ‘em burning on the pavement In the morning, the pavement They’ve been riding the pavement There’s a sound down on the pavement There’s a sound and it’s coming for you I’m not only one man I am big in Japan I sing it to my fans And bring it to my friends I sing it to the end Sing to the end

Wake up Rooster’s moaning so wake up China’s sleeping so come on Speed off like a car You won’t ‘cause you aren’t Leaving You’re always talking ‘bout leaving Always talking ‘bout how you Shine bright like a star You won’t ‘cause you aren’t Thinking back on things you were something A luminescent fish glowing Admired from afar You won’t ‘cause you . . . You won’t ‘cause you aren’t You’re one note daddy and you’re all washed out With your long necks saddled with your stupid mouth Talking change Too afraid to get scarred Expecting any moment you could just shoot off like a star You won’t ‘cause you aren’t

She was a tasty little number Under my breath I stared and uttered "That girl is looking mighty fine" Her shirt hung low, she let it She had a look that said come get it Yeah that onion booty made me cry Every guy tried acting cool She ain't got time to pity fools She left that up to Mr. T She's out on the dance floor Holdin' back just to give some more Her body said exposed but her eyes said mystery She goes left down side slip groove me when she moves it Push pull keep it still mmm ohh wonderful Digs her back into the ground, shake it shake it all around No but she don't have to go down to go High I might just get a rise From her hypnotic thighs She's ten tons of baby sit on this She could be in Milan On a trail to Oregon I fjord the river every time Say listen baby, pretty baby Don't tell me maybe Hey foxy lady, you got to crave me You got to play me, go High Why can't you go high Why can't you go high I'm on my hands and knees baby don't be cruel to me Shake of the hips I know I know I can't miss can I get a little taste of the lips Left down side slip ooh give me that double dip down the backside yes now roll it down The left the left the left the left no that's a little far too left High Why can't you go high I want to go high Why can't you go high

I looked into her eyes The moment was paralyzed by fear, by scent I learned to feel again Pouring over a book an empty place to look for life, for truth I couldn't find the line that meant so much to me It almost set me free to fly, to grow, I realized what I know Now I can't return these memories that burn conceal, they rot, what piece of heart was left In the wake of this wave drowns the thing I crave The warmth, the touch, Your face on my mind If you let me in Maybe we could begin To heal, to try, despite my foolish pride That led us down to this Without even a kiss Good-bye, hold on This has gone on too long

Ramona’s favorite song is "Runaround Sue" Hums it as she leaves to visit a “friend” I got suspicious tried following out in the rain She tied me back with forty links of chain Oh my love what have they done to you? Lights down, the bells all ring untrue Inspectors in the park had caught her on film Assassins on my heart what could I do? showed her the tape, she spoke words back bold and true She said, "Why would I want one man? I could have two... or three or four or more." Oh my love, what have they done to you? Lights down, the bells all ring untrue Oh my love what have they done to you? Lights down, the bells are ringing Come on come on a hey hey Come on and move away Come on come on a hey hey Go on and shut your face Oh, oh my, my love, What have they done to you?

Send the nurse away She can't cure my pain All the doors are closed I can't get into heaven no more I'm feeling like broken glass I've gotta get me a piece of ass I'm looking at you girl Take another sip of my wine My looks may be deceiving Like I don't want misbehaving But if you're randy, babe Take another sip of my wine Send the nurse away She can't cure my pain All the doors are closed I can't get into heaven no more Can't get into heaven no more

I know it's getting late but You don't have to go It's late on a February night We sit inside by my dim desk light You're looking out the window waiting for that car The headlights flashing but it's not your ride tonight No, they won't show You're looking out the window still as if there's hope I tried to amuse you Making shadow puppets by my dim desk light Your mind is out the window still, it's on that car The headlights flashing and the shadows racing Oh, it's alright You know if you want to you can stay here for the night I know it's getting late but You don't have to go February night turns to February dawn You didn't have to go

They told me that silence is bound to cut me down I'd better get into a crowd I fell on the floor All these people asking questions I don't want to answer anymore We've been walking for a long time I'm never sure of the destination And I am so tired Excuse me if I nod off today Chorus: So many places, so far away I don't care about that I just want to sit underneath a tree in my back yard There are so many people won't leave me alone Where does the moon fade away? 'Cause here comes the sun I need a place like that where I hide away They are asking questions The cat got my tongue You'd better hold on hold on I really don't know if I want to stay but there's the ocean in front of me A sign that I should take me shoes off Feel the sand at my feet repeat Chorus Eat an apple, grab some breathing room Bigger than the space between your teeth I hope my heart is behind door number one Sigh relief 'cause that means that I won't be homeless I will have a home repeat Chorus All these eyes are looking strange They're mad at me I know they will forget some day Only a place to hide away Just for a little while I will come back some day
12.
Oh look at you It's like a knee against my head and I'm calling at your covered ear Hear me now Your only world's within yourself That paper ship's lost in the sea Chorus: They'd never trade make believe for wise and alone In walks the truth Uncomfortably they all just pack it up and go home No no no, this wind will not subside My skin is breaking, hands so cold and I got this hair on my tongue Go ahead, cut yourself You won't cut yourself So I cut myself Your wound culture wants some more There's no rescues anymore repeat Chorus The white white lies Behind your eyes They'd never trade make believe And again I come with what the world is combed with: pain It's hard to know that before You know there is always more Lemons than fresh lemonade Lemons than fresh lemonade More, more, more Lemons than fresh lemonade
13.
Would I say, would I do Anything, oh it's true You've got all of me You have nothing here to prove You are my love child and I do I get my fill never get enough I fill my hands with a reckless love A little baby love, a little crazy love The sun's aloft but your sleep is long I bend to you and sing a get up song A baby get up song All along the yellow brick pavement Thieves and thugs skulk around They'd really love to own you Oh it's true, still you see me So believe me You are my love child and I do We all fall down look out below I bend to you and get my get up go My little get up go, my baby get up go We dance the days, we sing the nights So you feel good and you know if Something's right it ain't wrong Baby it ain't wrong so let's get along You are my love child and I do I really love you Your thoughts your words They fill me with a fever Shed your pain I am your receiver You can say it n'eye'ther or 'knee'ther Yes you know this love is growing Yes you know it yeah yeah You are my love child and I do I really love you

He's got a crooked smile and a few cent Should get interesting in a moment Could've been alright without a gold mine But you said no Mudslide baby down on me May I've a seed of dignity? Alive or dead if found 'Cause I'm your stupid clown Got a bit of pain so astringent Little monkey play for the regent Should've been just fine without a gold mine C'mon Mudslide Monty? It ain't right I look at you, we're in a fight The words begin to drown 'Cause I'm your stupid clown Mudslide Monty? It ain't right I look at you, we're in a fight The breath begins to drown And I'm your stupid clown

Black haired chica From the Republica Sun's replica Burns up my guitar Locked in my soul Changed up the goal of life Lost sacrament Give back what you sent Just one more moment My heart must repent Stands with the gods Reset the odds of life I can't fly away There's no wind today I'm left here to pray That the others will stay Need help in the fight To restore my sight of life What happened to me? Burned out all I can see Hatred bent the key A wasted life that was free Lost in my soul Changed up the goal Broken by the ways Nothing left to create of life

Up on a wave Help me I feel ashamed Hard to make sense Searching through scratchy lens Do I know you? Oh indeed Don't go wasting my time I am too pretty pretty Don't go wasting my time Stand me up, stand me up Downtown Fifth balcony Chopping down cherry tree Sweet sweet pseudo friend Maybe once? ...and again Do I know you? Oh indeed Don't go wasting my time I am too pretty pretty Don't go wasting my time Stand me up, stand me up Downtown If I were out on the highway Out in my car I might feel at ease but I still wouldn't get far I'd see you in the right lane Pass you right by Look into the sun and close my eyes If I were down at the bookstore Checking the rack I might feel at ease but I'd still have to go back I'd see you on the sidewalk Pass you right by Look into the sun and close my eyes Look into the sun and close my eyes Don't go wasting my time I am too pretty, pretty Don't go wasting my time Stand me up, stand me up, stand me up Downtown

Oh Juanita, I know Just say that you'll go Oh my fairest, oh my scene Logophile with a master's degree Oh my culture, oh my scene Tell me tales of the walls that you've seen Oh my fairest, oh my scene Logophile with a master's degree Oh my cultured dark skinned queen Say you'll dance with me out on the beach It's the sunshine It's hot around noontime I've got the light skin I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning Oh Juanita, I know Just say that you'll go Oh my fairest, oh my scene Logophile with a master's degree It's the sunshine It's steamy it's noontime I've got the light skin I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning Oh Juanita, I know Just say that you'll go We go
