1.Blue Tip
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
You believe in anything
They tell you how to think
The simpletons all circle
In the raging roller rink
I'm trading in the alley
I'm booking up a storm
Forget about reality
'Cause nothing is the norm, yeah, yeah
So what can you do, you say
They owe me a few, yeah
Blue tip of your cue, yeah
You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace
All set to weary your heartland
Black and white TV
Stroking all the gun heads
Into the ninth degree
You here the screamers coming
They clamor in disguise
You think that you'd be running
To the other side, yeah, yeah
So what can you do, you say
They owe me a few, yeah
Blue tip of your cue, yeah
You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
Can't fill an empty space
You stupefy the thinkers
You're hugging all the flakes
And all the things you think are true
Only mystify the fakes
Well, keep your hat on backwards
And keep your lips tucked in
The world is full of quackers
And belly button rings
I know you'd like to be immune
To the things they say
You're hung up on your heroes
And upon the beast you pray, yeah, hey
So what can you do, you say
Well, they owe me a few, yeah
Blue, blue, tip of your cue, yeah
You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace
You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave a bitter taste
2.Too Late
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
I could dream about things that never end
Of wishes on the star and something 'round a bend
I remember times things were pretty clear
We felt the pressure pulse through a wave of fears
I believe in you and your sultry side
And I would never jump your never ending ride
My feet are on the ground, among the lost and found
Well, I must wait until but never jump that ship
I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
You know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around
And you say it's too late
No, the storm's in line, yeah, you contemplate
And you say it's too late
When the morning's right you gotta celebrate, hey, yeah
But I know for sure and each and ever more
The dream is on the fringe, this love is on the bench
Nobody really know, that's just the way it goes
I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
You know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around
And you say it's too late
Though the storm's in line you gotta contemplate
And you say it's too late
When the morning's right you gotta celebrate, yeah, yeah
Oh, I could take a fall or hang it on the wall
No matter what you think I'm always on the brink
But you can throw a twist and I can move like this
They give you lot of slack then something pulls you back
I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
You know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around
And you say it's too late
Though the storm's in line you gotta contemplate
And you say it's too late
When the morning's right you gotta celebrate, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
3.Keep On Knocking
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
Oh well, the long street goes
For miles and miles
And it's picking up some strangers
And it's picking up some smiles
And the half breeds holler
They're educated guesses
And they got a lot of cheers
Well, you guessed it, you guessed it
They keep you in follow mode
They keep you in follow mode
Take the streets you never rode
They keep you
They keep on knocking
Oh, like the party's on
They keep on knocking
Unless the party's gone
I got some friends
In random places
All kinds of ideas
And all kinds of faces
They keep their ready shoes on
They keep their shirts on ice
And they're looking to the future
To loosen the vice
They keep you in follow mode
They hold up their signs
They keep you in follow mode
Most of the time
They keep on knocking
Oh, like the party's on
They keep on knocking
Yeah, from dark till dawn
They keep you in follow mode
They hold up their signs
They keep you in follow mode
All the time
They keep on knocking
Oh, like the party's on
They keep on knocking
Yeah, from dark till dawn, yeah
4.Soon
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
You're my lover, you're the one I depend on
With one another we don't have to pretend
You could turn me down over twice
You could treat me mean or treat me nice
But soon the time will come
I know what I put you through
The time will run
Away from us like time, it will do
You're my lover and forever my friend
And when I touch you I never want it to end
And when the starry night has left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on
But soon the time will come
I know what I put you through
The time will run
Away from us like time, it will do
And when I need you, you will always be there
And you're my lover, we can go anywhere
And when the starry night has left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on
But soon the time will come
I know what I put you through
The time will run
Away from us like time, it will do
I know what I put you through
5.Free
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
Hey there, go stand in line
Read the Times, check your dimes
Ensign, what a wind, keep on trying
Anywhere, sublime paradigm, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
When you go back in time
Fix it good, fix to fine, oh, whoa
When you go back in time
Just to say you decline, oh, whoa
Yeah, you're free to step outside your dark world
Free to pound the lost streets
Yeah, you're free, what a strain it is to stay curled
Free to turn up all the heat
Hey there, now plug it in
Pull a grin, genuine
Tremble fast on the verge, you're the last
Avenue accelerator permacast, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
When you go back in time
Fix it good, fix to fine, oh, whoa
When you go back in time
Just to say you decline, oh, whoa
Yeah, you're free to step outside your dark world
Free, yeah, to pound the lost streets
You're free, what a strain it is to stay curled
Free, yeah, to join the obsolete
Free, free, free, free
When you go back in time
Fix it good, fix to fine, oh whoa
When you go back in time
Just to say you decline, oh, whoa
Yeah, you're free to step outside your dark world
You're free to pound the lost streets
Yeah, you're free what a strain it is to stay curled
Free to turn up all the heat
Yeah, you're free to step outside your dark world
Free, yeah, to pound the lost streets
You're free, what a strain it is to stay curled
Free to turn up all the heat
6.Drag On Forever
I felt the pressure but I passed it off
I heard your glockenspiel pounding soft
When I climbed on top of you, you said get off
Must this drag on forever？
I tripped and stumbled in the dead of night
Flashing my endless stream of kryptonite
I lit my brain with rainbow crystal light
Must this drag on forever？
Then things got so quiet
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Don't let me interfere
Just let me out of here
Your waxy face is melting on your lap
And I sat there trying to crush a ginger snap
Your scream was sounding like a thunderclap
Must this drag on forever？
Your coconut windows hid the light so well
Your testimony put me in a spell
You looked so wasted that I could not tell
Must this drag on forever？
Then things got too quiet
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Well, don't let me interfere
Please help me out here
Must this drag on forever？
Must this drag on forever？
Must this drag on forever？
Must this drag on...
7.Take Another Look
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
Shadows falling on my day
And time is standing still
You see things in a different way
The way that no one will
They're gonna take the very thing
That's closest to your heart
You cannot mend your broken wing
I knew it from the start
So tell me
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Don't you wanna play the whole thing down？
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Don't you wanna take a look around？
When rivers roll into the sea
And clouds are breaking high
You can find tranquility
River, it may hide
You play the game and now it's time
To keep the fire low
We have no place to go
So tell me
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Don't you wanna play the whole thing down？
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Baby, you could turn it all around？
Your eyes are dim, your heart is blue
'Cause nothing ever lasts
It's all too many miles to you
The best of friends must pass
So tell me
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Don't you wanna play the whole thing down？
Don't you wanna take another look away？
Maybe have another go around？
8.It's Only
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
In the falls, in the walls, you think about it
And the calls and it crawls away
And you know that there's much to do about it
And you're caught in the wrinkled shame
Sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
Sometimes we just wanna feel so electrified
It's only, yeah, it's only
The busy hours and bigger hope
Falling flicks and the drinks, you know about it
And the times and the rhymes, you knew about it
And the crimes, they just fade away
Sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
And sometimes we just wanna feel so electrified
But it's only, yeah, it's only
The busy hours and bigger hope
And I see the ones you want
And I know the ones you share
And you deceive the ones you dare
And the drift and the gift they give to you
And it turns to another day
And the mess, all this stress, you feel about it
It fades away
Sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
Sometimes we just wanna feel so electrified
Well, it's only, yeah, it's only
The busy hours and bigger hope
Yeah, the busy hours and bigger hope
9.Hits Me
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
I was sucking on the sorry sights
I was watching out for things that bite
I was tripping on my own two feet
I was feeling like I got no sleep
And my thoughts were getting unrestrained
And I was looking like Ichabod Crane
I was looking for some serious fun
'Cause a bad excuse is better than none
Then it hits me, yeah, it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times
Oh, I was paranoid about the signs
They say it's just a dangerous time
I don't answer, I just decompose
'Cause I'm running with a painted rose
I don't relate to the things they say
And I don't want to be like them today
I know it's useless, dumb and it's crass
But I guess I'm just a real outcast
Then it hits me, yeah, it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times
I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through it
You could talk me into bitter sweet
You could grab me off the bright night street
You gotta keep it really tight and warm
You gotta keep me laughing in the storm
Well, the roads are feeling hollow and steep
And I want to sow what I reap
I keep forgetting what I just forgot
I don't know if I'm ready or not
Then it hits me, yeah, it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times
I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through these changing times
10.Sad Song
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
Too many screamers wearing a mask
Too many dreamers looking for the ones that last
Too many eyes looking for hope
Too many tears looking for a way to cope
It's no joke
It's just a sad song
That pulls you along, yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
Too many thoughts breaking your stride
Too many Jekylls, feeling like a Mr. Hyde
Too many clouds darken your day
Too many rain drops falling on your thunder bay
Everyday, yeah
It's just a sad song
That pulls you along, yeah
It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on
It's just a sad song
That pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
Too many heartaches waiting to strike
Too many clowns saying everything's all right
Too many fires scorching your mind
Too many preachers saying what you should find
Just see the signs
It's just a sad song
That pulls you along, yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
It's just a sad song
It pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
It's just a sad song
A sad song, yeah
It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on
It's just a sad song, sad song
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
