1.Burning Down The House
watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag： time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes i listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
My house s'out of the ordinary
That's right don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire
2.Girlfriend Is Better
I . . . who took the money？
Who took the money away？
I . . . it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
I, i, i, wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name？
We wanna wait, but here we go again...
I . . . takes over slowly
But doesn't last very long
I . . . no need to worry
Evr'ything's under control
O - u - t but no hard feelings
What do you know？ take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's moving up, going right through my house
She's ginna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it's right
I think you can if you like
I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that
Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I, i, i'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over？
Nothing was lost, everthing's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that we need
Maybe that's all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's betther than that
And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...)
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying
cool
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than you
I got a girlfriend thats better that this
And you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making
sense
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better that this
( is it？ )
3.Life During Wartime
ife during wartime
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
Transmit the message, to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
Don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, i work in the nightime
I might not ever get home
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or c. b. g. b.
I ain't got time for that now
Heard about houston？ heard about detroit？
Heard about pittsburgh, p. a.？
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But i ain't got no speakers
Ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
Why stay in college？ why go to night school？
Gonna be different this time？
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
I'd love you hold you, i'd like to kiss you
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
Don't know what i look like!
You make me shiver, i feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, i'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
Then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
Whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks？
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
Don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
You better watch what you say
4.Once In A Lifetime
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did i get here？
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime／water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do i work this？
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile？
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime／water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones／there is water underground.
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime／water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house？
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go？
And you may ask yourself
Am i right？...am i wrong？
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have i done？
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones／there is water underground.
Letting the days go by／let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by／water flowing underground
Into the blue again／after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime／water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
5.Psycho Killer
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and i
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me i'm a real live wire
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When i have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again？
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... ok
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....
6.Slippery People
What about the time？
You were rollin' over
Fall on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly!
Think of a time.
You'd best believe
This think is real
Put away that gun
This part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in you mind
God help us!
Help us loose our minds
These slippery people
Help us understand
What's the matter with him？ he's alright!
I see his face the lord won't mind
Don't play no games he's alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel he's alright
See for yourself the lord won't mind
We're gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out
Cool down
Stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own
Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backsliding!
How do you do？
These slippery people
Gonna see you through
7.Swamp
Now lemme tell you a story
The devil he has a plan
A bag a' bones in his pocket
Got anything you want
No dust and no rocks
The whole thing is over
All these beauties in solid motion
All those beauties, gonna swallow you up
Hi hi hi hi hi,
One time too many
Too far to go
I- we come to take you home
And when they split those atoms
It's hotter than the sun
Blood is a special substance
They gonna pray for that man
So wake up young lovers
The whole thing is over
Watch but touch monkeys
All that blood, gonna swallow you whole
Hi hi hi hi hi
What's that？ who's driving？
Where we goin'？ who knows？
I- we come to take you home
How many people do you think i am
Pretend i am somebody else
You can pretend i'm and old millionaire
A millionaire washing his hands
Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out
A medical chart on the wall
Soft violence and hands touch your throat
Ev'ryone wants to explode
And when your hands get dirty
Nobody knows you at all
Don't have a window to slip out of
Lights on, nobody home
Click click- see ya later
Beta beta- no time to rest
Pika pika- risky business
All that blood, will never cover that mess.
Hi hi hi hi hi
So soft hard feelings
What's that, who's driving
No tricks lets go
I- we come to take you home
I- we come to take you home
Hi hi hi hi hi
Etc.
8.Take Me To The River
I don't know why i love her like i do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that i can't forget
My sweet sixteen i would never regret
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till i can't, till i can't, till i can't take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why i love you like i do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am i the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down.
