1.I'm Going Away
I'm going away, I'm going away
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
I'm going away, I'm going away
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
Please tell me man what more can I do
Please tell me man what more can I do
Lord knows I can't get along with you
I'm going away, I'm going away
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
I'm going away, I'm going away
I'll be back some old day

I'm going away, I'm going away

I got another man now can't use you no more
I'm going away, I'm going away
I'll be back some old day
I'll be back some old day
2.Drive To Dallas
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
I'm not going to cut my hair or run
around the block
I'm not going to drive to Dallas with
blurry eyes ever again
With windshield wipers that can't wipe
away my tears,
And everything I own piled up in the backseat
With a speeding ticket from that speed trap town
The one that got my license revoked
But I never got pulled over
Never got questioned
No, I never got pulled over
Never got questioned
But I still drove all around without it
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
I'm not going to cut my hair or run
around the block
I'm not going to drive to Dallas with
blurry eyes ever again
No tomorrow won't be the day I drive
up to Dallas
With red eyes, blurry eyes and dull wipers
that no don't work
Everything piled up in the backseat so I
can't use the mirror
You said we had unfinished business but
it's finished now
You said we had unfinished business but
it's finished now
You said we had unfinished business but
it's finished now
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I...If I... I don't know
If I...If I... I don't know
I don't know ~
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
If I see you tomorrow
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
I don't know ~
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
If I see you tomorrow
I don't know what I will do
I'm not going to cut my hair or run
around the block
I'm not going to drive to Dallas with
blurry eyes ever again
I'm not going to cut my hair or run
around the block
I'm not going to drive to Dallas with
blurry eyes ever again
3.The End Is Near
The end is near.
The end is near, the time has come：
There ain't no way
Nobody will save you now.
The end is near,
The end is near. The time has come：
Don't even think
That there's a way out of this.
Down the road and up the creek： it's over.
It's such a clear and certain hell of
thing： it's over.
You're on your own.
You're on your own. Once upon a time
(the other night),
you couldn't do nothing right,
I'm on my own,
you said to yourself down on your
luck, woe is me,
etc.： lonely. See,
the worst times weren't so bad,
compared to this. Though
that ain't much comfort. I might try to
reminisce. No.
The end is near,
The end is near, the time has come.
Don't even think.
That there's a way out of this：
The end is near.
The end is near. The time has come.
There ain't no way;
There's nothing will save us now.
4.Charmaine Champagne
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes
for 12 hours at least
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
And teach me not to get baited with
stage whispers like,
Can anybody turn me on？
I saw a girl last night called
Charmaine Champagne
She wasn't an ex-so and so, not from
Times Square
But she went to Johnny Romero's till it
was too hot to handle
And she's got nothing to show for it;
no money, no love
But she could always tell you the squarest
thing there on the jukebox
She could always sing you the squarest
thing on the jukebox baby
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes
for 12 hours at least
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
And teach me not to get baited with
stage whispers like,
Can anybody turn me on？
I saw that girl again last night called
Charmaine Champagne
I said show me how to make all those
cups and punches
We went to Johnny Romero's till it was
too hot to handle
They said we had to get a quarter pound
of peach leaves on a dry and sunny day
And she showed me the squarest thing
on the jukebox
Then sang me the squarest thing
on the jukebox baby
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She likes a strong Sangaree that shakes
for 12 hours at least
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
And teach me not to get baited with
stage whispers like,
Can anybody turn me on？
5.Cut The Cake
When I heard the news
I nearly lost my breath
My heart stopped
And I held my chest
How could it be true, how could it be true？
I bought ten copies of the paper
Tried to buy them all
But they wouldn't let me
How could it be true, how could it be true？
Cut out the clip
And wallpapered my wall
I took it to work
To make copies so I could paper the whole house
How could it be true, how could it be true？
I scanned it too
So I could show it to my out-of-town friends
I wrote a letter to the editor
To give praise and a mention
To the names they forgot
And the answers they didn't question
And those answers they didn't question
So what's one to do
With all this fame and glory
Hire a PR firm
To tell the rest of the story
How could it be true, how could it be true？
Write it down quick
So I can make the 4 o'clock news
I know it's only local
But if it's what they choose
We'll celebrate over dinner,
Maybe dancing too
Who cut the cake？
Without any warning
Who cut the cake？
With my special knife
Into tiny little pieces for every fella's wife
Who cut the cake？
Without any warning
Who cut the cake？
With my special knife
Into tiny little pieces for every fella's wife
How could it be true, how could it be true？
How could it be true, how could it be true？
How could it be true, how could it be true？
6.Even In The Rain
You wore your wrestling badge
from your wrestling match
You wore a t-shirt over your suit that
says you just won State
I guess I still don't mind
that you were late
I guess we must have done a lot of kissing
Must have known not what we were missing
She followed us to the motel
and I lied all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though
you never offered anyway
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
This could be the day the earth stood still
Take it from me I know we've had our fill
Never been this calm as I wander round
Never bring harm to those that I surround
Well I keep consuming to avoid my own
thoughts, they tell me
Love keeping busy, love keeping busy
at any old cost
But there's nothing I could say would
keep my mind off of you
Well there's nothing I could do to keep
my mind from thinking of you
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
She followed us to the motel
and I lied all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though
you never offered anyway
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
Even in the rain
7.Staring At The Steeple
You followed me to Manchester
To meet the guy who says my name
You heard him say my name
You heard him say my name
And now you gotta know where he
stands from
Inside a booth or behind a desk
Or on his own two feet
Now we're gonna sit down,
Sit down face to face
I'm staring at the steeple,
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching
They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe,
One wears a crystal
One keeps time,
The other keeps a pistol
He sent me a check for a thousand dollars
I thought it was a gift
But boy was I wrong
Now I'm supposed to go and cash
his check
And give it out dollar at a time
Hand it out penny by penny,
penny by penny ~
I'm staring at the steeple,
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching
They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe,
One wears a crystal
One keeps time,
The other keeps a pistol
If I can't help you nobody can
If you can't talk to me,
who can you turn to？
If you don't make up your mind now
I'm going to make it up for you
The days are getting darker
and I'm all alone
We're practically married
but no you're never at home
I'm staring at the steeple,
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching
They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe,
One wears a crystal
One keeps time,
The other keeps a pistol
8.Ray Bouvier
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
He won the local lottery and took us out
We put a barricade down the middle
of the bed
But that didn't stop me from looking
down the barrel
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
I kept the bullet as a souvenir and
Took it to the knife show to carve out my
name and the date
But it was too heavy to wear around
my neck
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
If Kristi kills me I'll know who told her
We've never kept secrets from each
other at all
But luckily, it wasn't her favorite pair
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
Took us out drinking after he won the
local lottery
We put a barricade down the middle
of the bed
But the smoke never cleared from the
room, not at all
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
9.Keep Me In The Dark
The Bazaar in Ouarzazate,
Had an emerald for sale. We heard
In the silver band were etched the initials
of you know who.
His momma pawned the Gulfstream;
Returned the antiquities to Italy;
Said in no uncertain terms
buy it back for my youngest son.
Please don't tell me nothing.
I'd rathertell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark,
With the opposite of anything.
Please don't tell me nothing.
I'd rathertell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark,
With the opposite of anything.
Please don't tell me nothing.
I'd rathertell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark,
With the opposite of anything.
Please don't tell me nothing.
I'd rathertell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark,
With the opposite of anything.
Went through my per diems
By the middle of the morning.
You won't mind me writing my own
receipts for boys or smoke
Contracted three merchant fevers;
Embellished two early evenings;
At an arcade in the afternoon looked back
and forth with you know who.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
I'd rather.Tell me nothing：
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark.
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
I'd rather.Tell me nothing：
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
I'd rather.Tell me nothing：
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
I'd rather.Tell me nothing：
Please, don't tell me nothing,
With the opposite of anything.
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
I'd rather.Tell me nothing：
Keep me in the dark.
With the opposite of anything.
Please, don't tell me nothing,
Keep me in the dark, keep you in the dark.
10.Lost At Sea
There was a time I was proud to be me
But now I'm all
Lost at sea
There was a time when I couldn't complain
But now it's you
I only blame
Baby I'm
Maybe I'm not me
There was a time I was happy to know you
Because you were me
And I was you
But now I wish I had left you
Without knowing
All of his feelings
Baby I'm
Maybe I'm not me
You were my best friend
And I pulled out the rug from under
your feet
I can't believe I
had the nerve to leave you standing out
on the street
There was a time I was proud to be me
But now I'm all
Lost at sea
Baby I'm
Maybe I'm not me
11.Cups ＆ Punches
I saw a black girl last night called
Charmaine Champaign
She wasn't a worn out ex-so-and-so,
no not from Times Square
But she went to Johnny Romero's
till it was too hot to handle
And she's got nothing to show for it：
no money, no love,
but she could tell me the squarest thing
on the jukebox
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
Teach me not to get baited with stage
whispers
Like, Can anybody turn me on？
Show me how to make cups and punches
It's so simple without a simple syrup
You have to gather a quarter pound of
young peach leaves
on a dry and sunny day
And the cost is so uncertain since peach
leaves are seldom sold
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She likes a Strong Sangaree
that shakes for 12 hours,
Keeps warm for 12 months,
then sits for 6 months more
Then she's gonna sing me the squarest thing
on the jukebox
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
She's gonna get me folked up, fairly beat
12.Take Me Round Again
Take me round again
in the Wildwood where the Bluebells grew
With the Merry widow waltz singing
take me back to New York town
When the birds in Georgia sing of
Tennessee
Fifty miles from Boston
When a fellow's on the level with a girl
that's on the square
That's the talk of New York town
I've got rings on my fingers!
I saw a show called Carrie Marry Harry,
Down among the sugar cane
Listen Lester,
When a fellow's on the level with a girl
that's on the square
The longest way round is the sweetest
way home;
I wonder who's kissing her now.
In Brattleboro VT performing
with the People's Choral Union

With the Japanese Tragedienne
And the old Nestor Company at the

At the New Amsterdam Theatre playing A
