1.Are You Okay？
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
She's tripping and flipping, flying and crying
Trying to remember her name
She's moping and groping, rope-a-dope
Washing her hair in the rain
Judy, she don't work here any more
I don't know, she might be working over at the other store
I haven't seen her in a whole month
Are you a friend of hers or what？
You stared at me 'til your eyeballs smoked
Was it anger or love or the caffeine in your coke？
I searched my soul for the words to soothe you
But nothing that I did ever seemed to move you
Was it something that I did or didn't say？
Are you okay？ I wanna know, are you okay？
Yeah, you know Judy, she could always hide but she can't run
She never knew the meaning of fun
Once she had a car, you know, her uncle gave her
But that got totaled, that's Judy
You spoke in tongues 'til your voice gave out
You were friendly with your demons
Of this there's little doubt
You scratched my soul with a monkey's paw
You've broken every rule, every earthly law
Was it something that I did or didn't say？
Are you okay？ I wanna know, are you okay？
You caught my head in a catcher's glove
Did I somehow offend you or is this what you call love？
You dropped me off at the laundromat
You gave me all your clothes but you never came back
Was it something that I did or didn't say？
Are you okay？ I wanna know, are you okay
2.Dressed To Be Killed
Lyricist：Lawrence Edwards, Don (was) Fagenson, David (was) Weiss
His garbage can beret was tilted at an angle
What looked like a smile, turned out to be a mango
He's got raw meat dangling from his glasses
Tonight is the night, he's going to kick their asses
He's broke, he's ugly and unskilled and he's dressed to be
killed
He's broke, he's ugly and unskilled and he's dressed to be
killed
His luck is gonna change, he found a one-leaf clover
His fortune cookie said, 'What's the point, your life is over'
He must be nuts, there's a bullseye on his back
He's standing at ground zero of a nuclear attack
He's broke, he's ugly and unskilled and he's dressed to be
killed
3.Elvis' Rolls Royce
Well I saw a crowd a-gathered
Must've been somebody shot
Reporters scribbled shorthand
And photographed the spot
I moved in a little closer
But I couldn't see no blood
Just a gold-plated chariot
Arisin' from the mud
Then I heard a soulful murmur
And it sounded like his voice
It began to sing, it was the King
It was Elvis' Rolls Royce
Now the wood-grained bar was open
Like he was about to have a drink
A white-gloved chauffeur at the wheel
I never saw him blink
The bobbies looked indifferent
Clearly they were not amused
It was just another auction piece
And it didn't matter whose
D-Day was upon me
And I had to make a choice
Next thing I know
I'm at the wheel of Elvis' Rolls Royce
Well I made a left at Parliament
And hit the pedal hard
And I tipped my hat and I smiled
As I passed by Scotland Yard
Now the voice is talkin' to me
It says 'There's nothing to fear'
It was coming from the back seat
But there was no one in the mirror
I got a little nervous
I think I lost my poise
As we crossed the great Atlantic
In Elvis' Rolls Royce
When we got to New York City
The crowds went wild to say the least
As I steered my precious cargo
Through the belly of the beast
Then I took off down the Interstate
And drove throughout the night
Till I reached the state of Tennessee
In the early morning light
There they were, the gates of Graceland
My eyes got kind of moist
Home sweet home to rock'n'roll
And Elvis' Rolls Royce
4.How The Heart Behaves
Lyricist：Donald E. Fagenson, David Jay Weiss
She ran him over like a bus
But he seemed to feel no pain
Just laid there smiling
Like a flower in the rain
She shrunk his ego down so small
That he didn't even know his name
She knew no other way to love
That's how she played the game
But when he got her in a darkened room
In the still of the afternoon
He became her entire world
And she cried like a little girl
The line between pleasure and pain
Can't be measured by means of the brain
Mere reason alone can never explain
How the heart behaves
She wrapped her claws around him
Like a crab around a rock
It was baby this and baby that
She never let him talk
He couldn't see his shadow
She was always in the light
And if he moved she arched her back
And dug her claws in tight
But when he got her in a darkened room
In the still of the afternoon
He became her entire world
And she cried like a little girl
The line between pleasure and pain
Can't be measured by means of the brain
Mere reason alone can never explain
How the heart behaves
And they said that he'd break
How much more could he take
And just when you thought that he'd kill her
She gave him a kiss, it never missed
And then one day she ran away
With a guy she hardly knew
She left a note that said
I'm bored with me and you
He found another girl himself
A high-heeled hurricane
There was no calm inside her eyes
Just a promise of more of the same
The line between pleasure and pain
Could not be measured by means of the brain
Mere reason alone can never explain
How the heart behaves
That's how the heart behaves
The heart goes boom-boom
Take a listen
5.I Blew Up The United States
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
I set charges in Maine and Florida
In Washington and California
I gave fair warning and lit the fuse
Right at the beginning of the network news
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
I put plastique in the Statue of Liberty
And my nerves got a little bit jittery
Poor little lady, there goes her head
Her arm is melting and her eyes turned red
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
It's a free country, I'm within my rights
Every child should have a weapon
And a ton of dynamite, my hand is steady
And my eye is cold, a voice inside my head
Keeps saying, 'Do as you are told'
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
6.I Feel Better Than James Brown
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
When we were in love I pretended you didn't exist
That way I loved you more
You suggested we get married
And move into a house
I suggested that we jump overboard
And live underwater in the lost city of Atlantis
Where mermaids sing
And tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast
One year later, I was transfered to the moon
Worse pay, better hours
I was transfered to the moon
Worse pay, better fellow workers
I built our love out of blood
I went to the dentist and told him
'Take out my heart'
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro
Bucksome cross dressers
Threw fake gold coins at our feet
As we discussed the fate of the revolution
Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis
Tried to stab us with fountain pens
Fidel blew mustard gas from his cigar
And immobilized the lot of them
19 tequilas later we had a deal
Havana goes back to the mob
And Fidel and I open a chain of
Kentucky Fried Chicken shops
Ain't life sweet？
I feel good
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel？
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel？
7.In K Mart Wardrobe
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
In K Mart wardrobe, we waltzed across the water
Reading Chinese magazines analyzing Himmler's dreams
In K Mart wardrobe
In K Mart wardrobe, Latin generals passed for ice-cream men
They combed their hair in two-way mirrors
Mustachioed sales girls carried spears
In K Mart wardrobe
Baby this is love discount coupons floated from above
Broiled chickens sang us love songs from a skewer
Have you ever been this close to going down the sewer
In K Mart wardrobe
In K Mart wardrobe, we sifted through the rubble
Sizzling bibles wept in Swahili that's the way it's gotta be
In K Mart wardrobe
In K Mart wardrobe, we made it to the water's edge
Where the dollar signs turned into stars
And dogs barked black noises at Mars
In K Mart wardrobe
Baby this is love discount coupons floated from above
Broiled chickens sang us love songs from a skewer
Have you ever been this close to going down the sewer
In K Mart wardrobe
8.Just Another Couple Broken Hearts
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
It's just another chapter
In the never ending story
Of love that's lost its glory
And just slipped away
So, save your tears for Shakespeare
Because no one's lost a life here
We're down and out and lonely
But we'll be okay
We came together just to come apart
Just another couple broken hearts
We should have known right from the start
Just another couple broken hearts
We're really nothing special
So, don't get sentimental
It was mostly accidental
If the truth be told
I wouldn't call it tragic
We just kind of lost our magic
What used to seem exciting
Started getting old
We came together just to come apart
Just another couple broken hearts
We should have known right from the start
Just another couple broken hearts
So, save the front page for sex and scandal
And stick us in the classifieds
We've been used and abused
But we haven't got a bruise
And we're ready for another try
We came together just to come apart
Just another couple broken hearts
We should have known right from the start
Just another couple broken hearts
9.Maria Novarro
Lyricist：David Was, Don Was
Maria called the police department
On a Sunday afternoon
'My husband's gonna kill me
Please send somebody soon'
'Where is he, ma'am, is he at your door？
Has he got you now？ Can you tell me more？'
In the city of angels there's no mercy
And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro
'Please,' she said, 'his brother called
He's on his way with a gun'
'Sorry ma'am, not good enough
Why'd you dial 911？'
She knew he was mean, he'd hit her before
She hung up the phone and she locked the door
In the city of angels there's no mercy
And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro
James Brown said it was a man's world
And women don't matter
A little slap, they'll claim they're battered
They're hysterical, emotional
And love will make them fall
Tomorrow she'll forget that it happened at all
Domestic quarrels are routine
There's no need to waste a cop
Especially in that neighborhood
Those people never stop
But her husband showed up just like she said
No one would listen, now Maria lays dead
In the city of angels there's no mercy
And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro
10.Papa Was A Rollin' Stone
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never had a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama looked up and said son
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Where the hell are you daddy, that's what I'm sayin'
Down on my knees and tears and I'm prayin'
Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true
So I could feel like the other kids do
A young child but not complete as a whole
Before I was born you up and strolled
Mama was there but you was up in the wind
You never even knew my name and then
You never wrote, called, let alone came by
As a youth it was hard to wonder why
But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity
Thinking about the life you didn't give me
I remember when I used to tell lies
When people would ask I'd just fantasize
Thinking of stories to make you look good
But the real truth was you was never no good
People would say I looked just like you
But rest assured I don't act like you
I'm more than that, my mama raised me better
And you can best believe I'm much more together
So belive that
Mama is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life？
And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town
That papa had three out-side children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard some talk about papa
Doin' some store-front prechin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord
Mama looked up and said son
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
It's been said you gave me something you never had
But that's not always true and it's sad
To find myself missing you when I did
But who knows the reasons why you did what you did
I can't help but wonder why
You lived your life as a big fat lie
You act like you had no responsibilities
'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be
Stealin' beggin' hustlin' and schemin'
You could'a got a job
But did you know the meaning of work
I'm talking about an honest day's pay
But you was too lazy to be that way
Always trying to take the easy route
That's what they tell me, so I don't doubt
It for a moment, not for a sec
Because you lacked all your self respect
But it's too late for you that is
Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz
And so it's time to put the past behind
Erase the anger and clear my mind
I want to forget the little bit I know
And make sure that I never sink so low
'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know
That I was always there because I loved them so
And that's the least thing that I can do
But that's a lot more than I got from you
I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave？
Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal
To pay his bills
Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin'
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin'
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
11.You! You! You!
747 and an F-14 dogfight
At that line between heaven and earth
Two hundred tourists sucking Bloody Marys
Stewardess smile fades into terror
Charlie Businessman thinks about his dollars
Doubting priests re-arrange their collars
Infants cry but they always do
And all I see is you, all I see is you
You! You! You!
Cockroach pillows in a midnight storm
Yesterday's papers to keep me warm
Streetlight moon with the bulb burnt out
Trashcan rattle and a frozen shout
I'm about to shatter but I never do
'Cause all I see is you
You! You! You!
Let bygones be bygones
In a minute or two I'll be through
I'll be mercury droplets in a poison stew
I'll carry the dawn in a lead-lined quiver
And shoot bolts of lightning in a boiling river
It's you, I see you, you, you!
