Stroke 9 Bumper To Bumper Lyrics
1.Washin' N Wonderin' / Washin' + Wonderin'

This song appears on both bumper to bumper and nasty little
thoughts, but according to the album books the lyrics are
slightly different. also, you may have noticed that for some
reason the titl
The song was changed from 'n' to '+'. i don't know who made this
decision or why they decided to make it.

Washin' n wonderin'
(aka the bumper to bumper version)

This just in, where to begin
Grin and bear it, it's bear and grim
Adoration, titilation
I'm a victim now
Because she's figured me out

She lights my candle
She has a handle on me
It's goin well but i'm scared as hell
That she'll figure me out

She thinks it sacred
To be naked
But i don't care
She's had me there
You see she's figured me out

And i want to shout
At the top of my lungs now
But oh my god
If she hears me she'll come runnin in
These are my hands
These are my faults
These are my nasty little thoughts
I wrote em down for you to contemplate
At a later date

Well the word is out, what's it all about
Doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt
In moderation this sensation would be fabulous
But she's figured me out
She's in my shower, for an hour
She's just washin' n wonderin
And trying to figure me out

Well, you're out there, just stay out there
I won't hear but be careful man
Hey careful man
And i'm sleeping now
You'll be creeping round
Just when i was on to something else
That's when she figures me out

Washin' + wonderin'
(aka the nasty little thoughts version)

This just in...where to begin
Grin and bear it, it's bear and grim
Adoration, titilation, i'm the victim now
Because she's figured me out
She lights my candle, she has a handle on me
It's going well but i'm scared as hell
That she'll figure me out
She thinks it's sacred to be naked
But i don't care, 'cause she's had me there
You see she's figured me out

And i wanna shout at the top of my lungs now
But oh my god, if she hears me she'll come running in...
These are my hands, these are my faults
These are my plans
These are my nasty little thoughs
I wrote 'em down for you to contemplate
At a later date

Well the word is out, what's it all about
Doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt
In moderation, this sensationwould be fabulous
But she's figured me out
She's in my shower for an hour
She's just washin' and wonderin'
And trying to figure me out...

It's a little bit of something that i feel...
Oh man, i just can't deal...
And other than this distance that has covered me
Can't you see that you have smothered me

Well, you're out there, just stay out there
Just when i was on to something else
That's when she figures me out


2.All U Can Take

There's a place in my head
It's full of memories and i can't even take a peek
There's a place, full of broken promises
And i can't even bring myself to speak

And i know now everything about you
And i can't even try to
Separate the past from every ensuing day
I try to show that i can grow
But i can't give all you can take
And i believe it all works out
When i'm in your arms

Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Then it doesn't matter if its wrong
Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Hey, maybe you're better off when i'm gone

Well, i can't stand the way our lines are crossing
As i just lie here tossing, turning with the fan above my head
I'm falling down, i'm on the ground
You're in the air, you're all around
And i do believe it all works out
When i'm in your arms

Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Then it doesn't matter if its wrong
Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Hey, maybe you're better off when i'm gone

Something wrong to....

Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Then it doesn't matter if its wrong
Hey, if it feels so much like the way that it should
Hey, maybe you're better off when i'm gone

I can love and i can, to think about it
I can
But i know as i grow old, i can not be
I can't be that way
No, i, i, i, i, i do
I do believe, yeah
I, i, i, i, i, no
I do believe


3.Not Nothin'

Hello i'm sitting here, thinking and writing
Writing and talking, without you
Situated in the corner of the corner, so far from nothin'
Suspecting, not accepting that it's true
It really hits me when i'm
Walking into the market
Hear things i used to say
Is it wrong to be here anyway

Fade away
What was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah,
yeah
What was i thinking when i thought i was right
Not nothin
Not nothin

I'm on to something here
It's all becoming clear
Clearly confusing
Less than amusing
Castrated like a corpse to a coroner
So close to nothing
Forgetful not regretful
Of what i am

It really hits me when i'm
Hanging with other monkeys
Thinking of shit to say
Is it wrong to be here anyway

Fade away
What was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah,
yeah
What was i thinking when i thought i was right
Not nothing
Not nothing

Fade away
What was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah,
yeah
What was i thinking when i thought i was right
Not nothing
Not nothing

It really hits me

Aka the bumper to bumper version

I know it, it's a shame
A shame i can't show it
And i see it, i can see it now
But i'm so far below it

And i believe you, yes i do
The things that you say are so true
And i, well i trust you,
Thought i could trust you now
In everything that you do

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
I say why not
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got
To be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

Don't want to tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I wanna smash his fucking head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your
Bloody black backpack back

I feel you, yes i can
What about that don't you understand
And i sense you, its something sensual
But its less than i planned

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
I say why not
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got
To be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

Don't want to tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I wanna smash his fucking head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your
Bloody black backpack back

Not gonna get it back

Aw, no, no, no
Not gonna get it back
No, no

Aw baby, no, no, no

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
I say why not

To be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

I'd rather tangle with him
I wanna smash his fucking head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that

Aka the nasty little thoughts version

Well i know it's
It's a shame
A shame i can't show it
And i see it
I can see it now
But i'm so far below it
Don't wanna

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
And

And this shouldn't concern you except that

You're trying to find a reason for the way you feel tonight
You're mind is lined with layers of lead
Have you heard one thing that i've said?

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
And

Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back


5.Visualize

I can think about it for many hours
But i can't explain it for many more
All this talking ultimately devours
All my resource for understanding
At this moment of helpless recklessness
I awoke from my crazy dream
It was over and i was sober
The grass was yellow that should have been green

I don't even need my hands to touch you
And i don't even need my heart to feel you
I don't need my arms around you
I just visualize, i visualize

Now all alone and very bored
I'm disliking the feeling of being abhorred
Well it's too late and i'm too sorry
Not for what i've done but for who i am

I don't even need my hands to touch you
And i don't even need my heart to feel you
I don't need my arms around you
I just visualize, i visualize

Yeah, believe in me
I just don't understand what you
What you don't see in me
And now i'm seizing to this
But i know that i can't think about it
And i'm all alone, i'm all alone

Don't worry 'cause i'm in no hurry
Every move you make is so calculated
I'll get through and so will you
We've had and we'll have, we'll have our chances

I don't even need my hands to touch you
And i don't even need my heart to feel you
I don't need my arms around you
I just visualize, i visualize

I don't even need my hands to touch you
And i don't even need my heart to feel you
I don't need my arms around you
I just visualize, i visualize


6.Something Else In Mind

Come on, yeah
Well i waited for the sun to come up
Along with everything that i had thought of
Would it come to mind again, and again
Would i be something in the something out there
Be there in the end

Well, it was very upsetting to me
My dilemma was only mine
Then you tore my soul in two just with a single blow
And i'm just sitting around trying to figure out
Which way to come, which way to go

But she had something else in mind for me
Yeah, she had something else in mind
Something else in mind

Then i felt around for whatever i could
Just to get away from it all like i should
And then i heard a little something in the wind that told me
To stop thinking about where it's coming from
But just be happy that it's blowin'

It was very enticing to me
'cause my decision was only mine
Then you tore my soul in two just with a single blow
And i'm just sitting around trying to figure out
Which way to come, which way to go

Then i waited for the sun to go down
But in my heart i want it to stick around
I've been sitting here for hours, you say i'm wasting time
But i just can't recall my body feeling so much like its mine

It was very exciting to me
'cause i knew that it was my time
Then you chopped my heart in two with a single blow
And i'm just sittin' around trying to figure out
Which way to come, which way to go

But she had something else in mind for me
Yeah, she had something else in mind
Something else in mind


7.Down Down

(aka the bumper to bumper version)

You are so down inside
You are so
You are so down inside
You are so
Down inside

Frozen fingers on my skin
Guilty hands clutching gin
Your tin, thin eyes can't see within
Soul to soul, shin to shin we burn

And the silence won't subside
As i crawl to your scaly side
Your eyes could never hide
My eyes and all their pride

Carving out a piece for me
Saving three for you
Squeeze me tight and that's all

Carving out a piece for me
Saving three for you
Squeeze me tight and that's all

My shoulder to your face so warm
Dim light from moon outlines our form
Sinewy and shiftless and so forlorn
Between here and there and everywhere you're torn

Carving out a piece for me
Saving three for you
You squeeze me tight and that's all

Waiting, waiting for you
To call out my name
Speak to me
And say that it's alright
To be on the wrong track

Just call out my name
And speak to me
And say its alright to be on the wrong track

Can you feel it
Can you feel it

Waiting, waiting for you
To call out my name
Speak to me
And say that it's alright
To be on the wrong track

(aka the nasty little thoughts version)

Frozen fingers on my skin
Guilty hands clutching gin
Your tin, thin eyes can't see within
Soul to soul and skin to skin we burn
And the silence won't subside
As i crawl to your scaly side
Your eyes could never hide
My eyes and all their pride

My shoulder to your face is so warm
Dim light from the moon outlines our form
You're sinewy and shiftless and so forlorn
Between here and there and everywhere you're torn

Carving out a piece for me, saving three for you
Squeeze me tight and that's all

Waiting........waiting for you

To call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alright to be on the wrong track
Call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alrigh to be on the wrong track

There's a warm breeze in the city tonight
Soft light makes every sad sight seem alright
And i'm spinning around and we're holding tight
Soul to soul and face to face we turn.....


8.Bingo

Caught me faking, at least i tried
Totally mistaken, unidentified
Hypocrisy, shamelessly
Fortunately before i could plant the seed

I want to tell you everything
But i can't, no
I want to tell you all these things
Let's just forget it

My quote unquote sick mind
Cannot understand, just undermine
Analyzing everything
Picking apart every seam just for a sign

I want to tell you everything
But i can't, no
I want to tell you all these things

But it seems that you have found
Lately something better to do
With your mind and your time
Yeah, you, have found
Lately something better to do
With your mind and your time

Call me hard, insolent
Tainted by the thoughts of all that i resent
Believe i can do as i said
Been collecting dust inside this hollow head

But it seems that you have found
Lately something better to do
With your mind and your time
Yeah, you, have found
Lately something better to do
With your mind and your time


9.Refrigerator

She has a great figure and i'm just trying to figure into her
picture
She thinks there's something very wrong with me
She may be right there's nothing left
Nothing but emptiness in my refrigerator
She gets very quiet as i say that i'm getting flustered and that
i may need out
She knows there's something very wrong with us
As i walk out and slam the door, slam the door to the back of
her car

When she's not around i feel so very down, up, and all around
And ever since i lost her i've been found

She still has a great figure and i'm still trying to figure into
her picture
She thinks there's something very wrong with me
But is it right to throw it all away, throw it all away, in the
trash compactor

She thinks i said i believe in her
She thinks i said i believe in her
She thinks i said i beileve,
But i really said i'll be leaving her

Now its the morning of my departure and i'm sad,
She's sad
Now we're both sad
Isn't that sad
She fulfills my greatest fears, i push a tear as she squeezes
one,
She squeezes one last goodbye from the juicer

When she's not around i feel so very down, up, and all around
And ever since i lost her
Ever since i've lost her
Ever since i've lost her
Ever since i've lost her i've been found


10.Please Wait

Lets just say for the moment that i said to be quiet
When i know i'll be hoping that my wrongs will be right
Lets just say, lets just say
I'm sorry, lets just be, lets just be
Well, please wait for me

I can't even tell you how much i need to see you, see you again
Please do your part to be kind
'cause you know its my heart milking my mind
You would leave and i would stay
It's not like me to be this way

Please wait for me
I can't even tell you how much i need to see you, see you again
Just wait for me
I can't even tell you how much i need to see you, see you again
My heart is breaking
My heart is shaking
Its breaking
Please, wait for me
I can't even tell you how much i need to see you again


11.Extra Track

*change rattles*
~repeat throughout~
Shake your money
Shake your money
Shake your money
Shake your booty (booty)

Tell 'em how it's gonna be
Tell 'em how it is
*dog barks*
Woooo
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Woooo
Ugh
