1.Baby Got Going

Baby got goin' on a southern train, you know
Fired up pistons drivin' below
And the whole vibration, seat upholstery
Silky underwear, oh conductor let's roll
Let's roll!

Baby got goin' but i can't complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange,
It's like a big mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor, let's throw some metal down, roll!
Let's roll!

Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'

Squeeze her knees underneath a book, you know
A real good shakin' is all it took
Cause my baby's hooked on me
And as you can see i'm wild about her!

She got goin' but i can't complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange
It's like a big mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor let's throw some metal down, roll! let's roll!

She gets mad when it goes too slow,
So i'm beggin' you man keep a-shovelin' that coal and let's
roll!
Let's roll

Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll


2.Big Tall Man

I'm a big, tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I am waiting and reading parts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache.

Zeus and athens
Florida driveway
Asphalt and tires
Sand and the beach,
Rocker panel
Headlights in the dark...
I'm drag racing
Drag

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Fog and the distance beyond it
Boats and the quiet morning noises
I'm walking the shoreline
A beer and a cigarette
A bug with twitching antennae
A button up short-sleeved shirt

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

I'm a big tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

(repeated several times with background vox:
Yes, i'm careening down!
Winding the canyons, now!
Yes, i am broadcasting myself!)

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes i'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy bein' pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache


3.Fantasize

He's a friend of mine
Kind of special guy
He's a run-around
Hey, you've got to hide your love away!

I hear people are talking about us
And i just have to say
I lie awake every night
Thinking about you, i fantasize
All around us people are changing
You've got to hide your love away
I hear people are talking about us

He's a special guy
Kind of sentimental inside
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
I hear people are talking about us
That's ok with me
Get it easily inside


4.Girls' Room

I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeping in the sky
I'm sleeping in the water
I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeing in girls' room tonight

Here comes tiffany
My best friend, tiffany
Wearing a size too small of sweater

Me and tiffany
Dressing up pretty
We love to ride
We love to canter

My best friend tiffany
She is so popular
We're going from site to site and pool to pool tonight

And we hear terry say that tricia's ok
But she ought to learn to shave her bikini line better
And tauren was born, like her mother, in a storm
And tracey's been away forever

I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeping in the sky
I'm sleeping in the water
I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeing in girls' room
I'm sleeing in girls' room tonight


5.Go On Ahead

You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and i believe in you
I believe when i sleep you are near to me
When you sleep i am near to you

You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your
pockets,
I don't recognize you
You say you're a ghost in our house and i realize
I do think i see through you

So, you go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or friend

It's death in our love that has brought us here
It's a birth that has changed our lives
It's a place that i hope we'll be leaving soon
And i fear for the year in his eyes

And it goes around in circles
One night is lovely, the next is brutal
And you and me are in way over our heads with this one
It's hard to admit it
But you hold me and i can't feel you
We hurt but we smile
I promise i'll make it back when the summer has warmed me awhile

You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I'm no ordinary lover or friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and i believe in you
I believe when i sleep you are near to me
When you sleep i am near to you


6.Headache

I can see the russian army rolling through my head
On one side of me lies the enemy, the other half is dead
I've got diamonds and i've got pearls
And i said, 'hey mister, won't you come for me?'
You can take me home, but i will never be your girl
I won't let your mystery unfurl

That's the whole thing about it
I'm so in love today
I've been waiting at the bus stop
Come my way?

'hey mister, won't you come for me?'
I'm a psychosomatic sister
Running around without a leash
You can take me home, but i will never be your girl
I won't let your mystery unfurl

With the russian army rolling in my head
Snow is falling, january's all across the land
I've got seven other men in the ditches behind me
And i think i'm the last survivor
'hey mister, won't you come for me?'
I'm a psychosomatic sister
Running around without a leash
You can take me home, but i will never be your girl
I won't let your mystery unfurl


7.Johnny Feelgood

Johnny feel good, johnny right on
Johnny miss you, johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself

Moderation is a memory
Dive right in and let him send me
I could take this in doses large enough to kill

And i never met a man who was so pretty inside
He's got diamonds on the bed of his thumbnails and i
Never realized i was so dirty and dry
Till he knocked me down, started dragging me around
In the back of his convertible car

And i liked it
I liked it more and more

Crimson and clover, soon he's taken over all my senses now

And i never met a man who was so pretty inside
He's got petals on the bed of his sweat sock drawer
And who the fuck am i to criticize him 'cause i really need him
now
In fact i'm kinda freaking out
And i'm wondering where the hell you are

Johnny feel good, johnny right on
Johnny miss you, johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself

And i've never met a man i was so crazy about
It kinda has become an obsession to me
I hate him all the time
But i still get up
When he knocks me down
And he orders me around
'cause it loosens me up
And i can't get enough
And i'd pay to spend the night with him some more

And i liked it
Let me tell you i liked it more and more
I liked it
I liked it, yeah
I really liked it
I liked it
I really, really, really liked it
I really liked it
I can't believe it.


8.Love Is Nothing

You thought i was something from afar
You thought i'd totally excite you
I guess it's just another thing to stand up close and ignite you

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday

You were telling me the friends we have in common
By the time i figured it out you were yawning

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
You gotta get up and work the people everyday

And i thought,
'who am i?'
'who's this guy?'
'would i lie to make the day blur into the night?'

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
You gota get up and work the people everyday


9.Only Son

All these babies are born
To the wrong kind of people
And i wish i had known
I was not good enough
I'm the worst kind of son
Bringing shame to my family
And i know i have worn
My mother's heart out, believe me
I saw it
I saw it coming

All these things i have done
To my little little sister
When i tried to support her
She don't believe me
Why should she?
I hurt her
I mean i hurt her

So goodbye, so long, i'm gone already
I'm running out of time
I'm losing my mind
Won't you come take me home?

Goodbye, so long, i'm gone already
I'm runnin' out of time
I'm losing my mind
Won't somebody hold me?

All these babies are born
Like a field full of poppies
Who's gonna know which are torn?
I believe i'll soon leave the meadow
I see my shadow

So goodbye, so long, i'm gone already
I'm running out of time
I'm losing my mind
Won't you come take me home?

So goodbye, so long, i'm gone already
I'm running out of time
I'm losing my mind
I think i'm losing my soul


10.Perfect World

What a pretty life you have
Oh boy, it's a pretty life you have
And i would need a map
Just so i could navigate the back yard

Home is very ordinary
I know i was born to lead a double life
A murderous strife and misery
And when i find it, i know i'll make sense of me

I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious
I would have it all if i'd only had this much
No need for lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be be involved
Be involved
Be involved
Be involved
I would be involved with you

I know the girls
That live inside your world
Just sitting next to a mortal makes their skin crawl

I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious
I would have it all if i'd only had this much
No need for lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you

I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious
I would have it all if i'd only had this much
No need for lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut
Be involved
Be involved
Be involved
Be involved
I would be involved with you
Oh, with you


11.Polyester Bride

I was talking, not two days ago
To a certain bartender i'm lucky to know
And i asked henry, my bartending friend
If i should bother dating unfamous men

And henry said,
'you're lucky to even know me,
You're lucky to be alive.
You're lucky to be drinking here for free,
'cause i'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes.'

And then he said,
'do you wanna be a polyester bride?
Or do you want to hang your head and die?
Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on
sale?
Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?'

And i was sitting, not two days ago
Feeling lonely, 'cause i'm just feeling low
And i asked henry, my bartending friend
Why it is that there are those kind of men

And henry said,
'you're lucky to even know me,
You're lucky to be alive.
You're lucky to be drinking here for free,
'cause i'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes.'

And then he said,
'do you wanna be a polyester bride?
Or do you want to hang your head and die?
Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on
sale?
Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?'

'princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly?
Because you've got time.'
He keeps telling me, 'you've got time.'
But i don't believe him
'you've got time.'

I keep on pushing harder
I keep on pushing farther away
But he keeps telling me, 'baby',
He says, 'baby, yeah

Do you want to be a polyester bride?
Or do you want to hang your head and die?
Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on
sale?
Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?'

'do you want to be a polyester bride?'
Away from here
'do you want to be a polyester bride?'
Away from here
'do you want to be a polyester bride?'
'princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly away
from here?'


12.Ride

As i stumble into bed, i curse the devil in my head
And if i die before i wake, i hope the lord won't hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see,
The flies of august swarming me

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I'm digging in

Well i don't know, but i've been told
The road to heaven is paved with gold
And if i die before i wake

I need a ride
I need a ride
I need a ride from you

I need a ride
I need a ride
I need a ride from you

Well sticks and stones can break my bones
And boys can make me kick and moan
But when i want it autodrive

I get a ride
I get a ride
I get a ride from you

I get a ride
I get a ride
I get a ride from you

Now i lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if i die before i wake
I hope the lord won't hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see
The flies of august swarming me

I get a ride

13.Shitloads Of Money

Louis is probably thirty years old but he looks like a solid 45
Louis says he's got a headache
I look in his eyes, and i believe him

The big l.k.'s and the gangster disciples
Louis can't think of who else could take over
But he just can't get up in the morning
A genuine face, braced for survival

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that i have
Don't really see it that way
But if you can give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd which success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money

Don't know how many times you were stuck in the morning
You just couldn't move, though you mother was calling
You know what you need is a lotto revival
A train flashes by and you're lost in a spiral

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that i have
Don't really see it that way
But if you can give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd which success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money

Take the train on up to the zoo
Don't look back on what you've been through
Cause everyone's got a monday

It looks like shit and must be america
It burns so quick, and it must be america

It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that i have
Don't really see it that way
But if you can give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd which success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
I would surely include lots of money
You've got to have shitloads of m-o-n-e-y, money


14.Uncle Alvarez

There's a portrait of uncle alvarez
Hangin' in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But uncle alvarez sees us all

Oh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet

He's not really part-cherokee indian
He didn't fight in the civil war
He's just eugene isaac alvarez
He feels sorry for the wall

Oh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
You're gonna make 'em sorry when you die

And it's a long way down
You were hoping for a heart-attack
Running around, investing on this and that
Your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you
Safe in a better way
There's no dust or mildew and
It's hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer

Better just to shake it off
As you write your resume
Don't think of uncle alvarez
And the price he had to pay

Oh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
You're gonna make them sorry when you die

Oh, oh, oh imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send some money to the alma mater.


15.What Makes You Happy

But don't worry, mom, i met him in a restaurant
And all this time i've been getting to know him
He's got an ex-wife in pasadena
And sometimes she's a mess to deal with
But mostly we've been living here uninjured
There's a silence, and she says:

'listen here young lady
All that matter is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make you love me if you don't care to.'

But mom, i'm sending you this photograph,
I swear this one is going to last
And all those other bastards were only practice

I feel the sun on my back
I smell the earth in my skin
I see the sky above me like a full recovery

'listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make you love me if you don't care.'
'listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make a difference if you're not ready

'listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make you love me if you don't care.'
'listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Won't make you love me if you don't care.'
Make you love me if you don't care


16.White Chocolate Space Egg

Orange and blue, green and pink
I see you in everything
Don't need money, don't need wine
I've got better ways to spend my time

I'll see you around
Every hollow has its favorite sound
And my heart is holding on

Purple, yellow, reddish-brown
Once i felt you, i couldn't lay you down
Don't be shy, baby, don't be careful with me
Let it go, let it soak me down

I'll see you around
Every hollow has its favorite sound
Every rock and tree and leaf abound with your face

Don't tell me i've been wrong
Don't tell me all the magic's gone

I'll see you around
Every hollow has its favorite sound

I'll see you around
Every corner has its favorite clown

I'll see you around...
I'll see you
I'll see you
