2.Cowboys From Hollywood

Aren't y'all cowboys from hollywood?


3.Sad Lover's Waltz

One step for boys, one step for girls, step away
One step for you, one step for me, step away
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers'
waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers'
waltz

One step for anger, one step for pain, step away
One step for right, one step for wrong, step away
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

One step for boys, one step for girls, step away
One step for you, one step for me, step away
One more step makes three, and three steps a waltz
Don't take the third step, cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

5.I Love Her All The Time

She comes into my mind
Twisting through my nerve
I don't understand
A word she says
She's on my side
I love her all the time
I love her all the time


6.No Flies On Us

(instrumental)


7.Down And Out

Gonna move to the city (down & out)
Gonna read alot of william burroughs (down & out)
Gonna practice being depressed
And i think i'll go to film school (down & out)
Live in a scummy part of town (down & out)
All my friends will think that they're junkies

And i don't know what it is i want, but i can get it from my old
man
And i don't know what it is i need, but i can get it

Gonna move to the city (down & out)
I'll join a rock and roll band (down & out)
Gonna dress and act like lou reed
And i think i'll go to film school (down & out)
Live in a scummy part of town (down & out)
Read alot of william burroughs and be depressed

And i don't know what it is i want, but i can get it from my old
man
And i don't know what it is i need, but i can get it

I'm acting (down & out)


8.No Kurgerrands For David

(instrumental)


9.don't Ya Go To Goleta

Baby, don't ya go, don't ya go to goleta

I've been there and i've seen them drinkin' now
Thinkin' all the time that they're going to school
Well, maybe some day they might learn something
But being fascist rich kids just ain't cool

Baby don't ya go, don't ya go into westwood

I've been there and i've seen the styles they wear
Their haircuts down to their clean white shoes
Don't you know baby, that it's all a facade,ya know
Intelligence is not something you should avoid

Baby don't ya go, don't ya go to la jolla
I've been there and i've seen their attitude
They don't like folks who are not like them
Maybe someday they'll take a vacation, like some flight over to
europe
To take a nice cruise in the mediterranean, but it's very likely
that
On the way over they'd be hijacked by some terrorist group
seeking media
Approval, they'd be in a really bad situation, in danger of
their lives,
But they'd be thinking 'they can't do this to me, i'm an
american citizen'

Babe, why don't ya go, why don't ya go somewhere (else)?

(instrumental)


11.we're A Bad Trip

You know, you really shouldn't take yourself so seriously
If you want to know why, it's cuz no one else does
Somewhere along the line someone told you you were deep and
sensitive
But youre not
Came to the party, drank all the beer, cuz we're a bad trip
Well i can't tell you how glad i am that you live such bright
and flashing lives
It's the perfect thing to keep you distracted
But if it went away, i guess you'd have to see yourself
Hope you wouldn't regret all the time you'd wasted
Came to your party, ate all the d'heuvres, cuz we're a bad trip
We dented your parked car when we drove up onto the lawn
Smoked your last cigarette and spilled the beer on the carpet
Answered the phone and said you didn't live here anymore
And it was your mom
Came to your party, drank all the beer, cuz we're a bad trip
Yeah, we're a bad trip

14.Sometimes

Sometimes it seems to me that you don't say what you mean
You leave me guessing and tying to figure it out
Cuz one and one is two, and two and two is four
But you always leave me asking if there is more

Sometimes you get it all switched round in your head, roundin
your head
Then the words i say come out wrong,but they're not my words,
that i have said
(what does it mean to say you're in love?)
What does it mean to say you're in love, does it mean that i'm
the only one you love,
Or does it just mean something that i don't understand ?
'cuz one and one is two and two and two is four
And you always leave me asking if there's more
Chorus
Sometimes it seems to me that you don't say what you mean
You leave me guessing and trying to figure it out
What does it mean to say you're in love, does it mean the moon
and the stars above?
You don't need a lover you need an interpreter

Chorus


15.Chain Of Circumstance

So i thought that you knew the question you were asking me to
answer
Now i find in your indifference you never bothered with what the
words meant
You're pulling, you're headless of the slack that forms behind
you
You're forging, you make another link in the chain of
circumstance

Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips formed them well
But to discern the content was hard for me to tell
And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of sincerity
And with that pulling in me i build another link for you to add

Oh my friend, you know i love you, but you make me crazy
Oh my friend, you know i hate it, but you know it can't stay
Oh my friend, you know i love you, but you make me crazy

Now only time together pushes toward my place to answer
This music's purgatory awaits its end, time's special dancer
You're doing just as well as a jewel in the mud
You'll do just a well when your surviving dust ascends into
heaven
Chorus


16.Zz Top Goes To Egypt

18.Form Another Stone

...tied to the wind, she tries to whisper damage to my sense,
but i resist
I am lashed to the earth, i hear the sounds of her footsteps
going around,
She swells and recedes
Grasping the summer soon she thinks she's holding on when she's
not
Hear the sounds of the sun's set going down, it dies with a
whisper
And i cry into the sea but the echoes of my tears follow me,
fall down in to winter
I look for my strength on the inside, i know it's there, but to
find it
Takes it out, it knocks me down, i cry for a whisper
I am tied to sun burns my back and the heat seeps my bones, i
cry to harden
From another stone to melt away, this one might take years (but
that's alright)
Until i turn around to hear the sound of the horses' thundering
around in my head
I'm wondering aloud...
Think another thought while the wheels turn around over me
rubbing me into the
Background...


19.No More Bullshit

No more bullshit, no more mtv, no more rock starts, no more
bullshit
Elvis presley died and no-one knows why

Et cetera
