You were standing on the corner
When it all came crashing down
On your black shoes and your black dress
You pulled your black hat round

I suppose you should feel sorry
But I see you dressed in silk
With your double cappuccino
And it's topped with dry-steamed milk
You know, I guess you should feel sorry after all
But I'm not crying...anymore

Yeah, and do you forget who you are
When you're the last one in the bar?
And then morning unfurls
On the wallflower
Ye-eah.
Wallflower girl
On the wallflower girl

Well, you're in and out
And up and down
And halfway in-between
You're Holly Go-lightly
Yeah, I heard you played that scene
Wel,l you say that you're an actress
And a painter on the side
Yeah you used to read the tarot cards
But, you don't like what you find
Well, I suppose we both know your future anyway
(Hey,Hey.Hey)

Yeah, and do you forget who you are
When you're the last one in the bar?
And then morning unfurls
On the wallflower
(Yeah, Yeah)
Wallflower girl...
On the wallflower girl

When you're climbing up the mountainside
Well, you say it hurts your ears when they pop
But that's the price you pay
For being on top

Now, the light is turning greener
And my thoughts are ringing true
And the reason that I'm so hard, girl
I see myself in you
And the mountain tops and valleys
And the vantage points between
Well, you used to read the tarot cards
But you don't like what you've seen
Well I suppose we both know your future anyway
Hey,Hey,Hey!

Yeah, and do you forget who you are
When you're the last one in the bar?
And then morning unfurls
On the wallflower
(Yeah, yeah)
Wallflower girl.
On the wallflower girl.

Ooohhh...ahhhh.

One by one
Two by two
People come into your life
Friends are made
In yourself
Look just like a child to me, then you ask me
Why anybody, anybody knows?

Standing here I waiver on my life
Anybody, anybody sees
Standing here I waiver in-between

A truce you make in yourself
Everything seems fine to me
Once upon in yourself
Things would rather be the same

Then you ask me
Why...anybody, anybody sees
Standing here I waiver on my
Love anybody, anybody sees
When I'm standing here I waiver in-between

There's a car outside
It's calling out your name
This same old car it won't be back again
When your mom and dad are sleeping in their room
And you're thinking
They won't be waking too soon
And you cry and cry to minimize the pain
'cause once it dries it won't be back again

Then you ask me why anybody, anybody sees
Standing here I waiver on my love
Anybody, anybody sees
That I'm standing here and waivering between
Well the rain falls so hard
It falls all around
Well, the rain falls so hard
Falling all around.

Well, I've been looking in your eyes
And I've been looking in my eyes
Well, there's a reason you came to this tonight
There's a reason you came to this tonight

Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason, there's a reason
Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason, there's a reason

All the fish in the ocean
Well, all the birds in the sky

Well, there's a reason they came to this tonight
There's a reason you came to this tonight
Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason, there's a reason
Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason, there's a reason

Well, this world is not my own
Though I thought that it could be
Well, this world is not my own
Though I wish that it could be

Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason, there's a reason
Can you tell me?
(Can you tell me why things are falling apart)
There's a reason
There's a reason to live

I wanna remember
Make a promise to myself
I never want to die
Live my life like something else
I want you to know what it means
To hold this thing
I want you to know
what its like when you say

Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing
Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing thin.

I wanna look into
I never want to doubt myself
I always want to try
Live like someone else

Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing
Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing thin.

Oh, Time is wearing thin
Oooh, time is wearing

I wanna remember
Never want to doubt myself
I never want to die
Live my life like someone else

Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing
Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing
Like love bugs crashing into the grill
Time is wearing
Like love bugs crashing into the grill Time is wearing thin.
Ooh, time is wearing thin
Oooh, time is wearing thin

Everyday I come home from work at nine
And the Dead Heads increase by exactly nine
Everybody's coming homr for lunch these days
Last night, there were Dead Heads on my lawn

Take the DeadHeads trippin
Take them trippin

Take the DeadHeads trippin
Take them trippin

Some people say that DeadHeads have good buds
(Have big buds! Have big buds!)
Man, some people say the DeadHeads have good acid
(Have good acid! Have good acid!)
Well, everybody's coming home for lunch these days
(lunch these days! lunch these days!)
Last night, Jerry Garcia had his fat ass on my lawn
(on my lawn! on my lawn!)

Take the DeadHeads trippin
Take them trippin

Take the DeadHeads trippin
Take them trippin

I wanna go to New Orleans, Louisiana and see the Grateful Dead
(see the Dead! see the Dead!)
I wanna wear friendship bracelets on my wrists and on my neck

Everybody's coming home for lunch these days

Last night I grew a marijuana garden in my backyard

OH, YEAH!

Well, the lipstick on your glass
Is all that remains.
And you whisper in my ear
Those subtle refrains.

The clock tickin' is tellin me
That this year's dead and gone.
And Dick Clark is countin' down

And I'm chain smokin'
Well, I'm chain smokin'
Well I'm chain smokin',
And drinkin' cheap champagne.

Well, I laughed at all your jokes,
Yeah, there were a few.
When you walked out of my house,
I guess I laughed then, too.

The clock tickin is tellin' me
That this year's dead and gone.
I'm singin' auld lang syne alone.

And I'm chain smokin'
Well, I'm chain smokin'
Well, I'm chain smokin'
And drinkin' cheap champagne.

[Are you ready, Carey?]
[Uh-huh!]
Well, I got what I wanted
Now, maybe I believe that it's the best thing I've ever had.
Well you walked out forever and said 'I'll write a letter'
And maybe you'll find someone on your own.

Now, the lipstick on your glass
Is just another stain.
In the wee hour of the year,
A resolution to your name.

The clock tickin' is tellin' me
That this year's dead and gone.
And time square is clearin' out,

And I'm chain smokin',
Well, I'm chain smokin'
Well, I'm chain smokin'
And drinkin' cheap champagne...
Awww, wawww.
Well, I'm drinkin' cheap champagne.
Awww, Yeah.
Well, I'm drinkin' cheap champagne.
Yeah.

Northern Wind, chimney smoke,
Love and pain, joy and hope.
These are the days of Christmas.

Colored lights and mistletoe,
Cinnamon and Nat King Cole
There's a miracle now on 34th street.

At the airport families wait on cue,
And they shout as the loved ones come in view.
Well, the kids are just happy 'cuz they're outta school.
How wonderful life is on Christmas.

Sleigh bells and sing-a-longs,
First snow falls on the lawn,
There's a midnight mass for a birthday.

Hearin' toasts and laughter fill the room,
You forget all the thoughts that have troubled you.
Yeah, I know times I hard, somehow you'll make it through.
How wonderful life is on Christmas.

All is quiet, holy night
To awake in morning light.
Let is shine!
Let it fill our lives with light.

Then, as someone says 'Santa Claus was here'
One by one by the tree we all appear.
Grandmothers save paper to use next year.

How wonderful life is...
How wonderful life is...
How wonderful life is on Christmas
On Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve
(At the airport families wait on cue)
Merry Christmas Eve
(As they smile and they cry as you fade from view)
Merry Christmas Eve
(Well, your folks are just happy 'cuz they saw you)
Merry Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas Eve
(how wonderful life is, how wonderful life is, how wonderful life is.) Merry Christmas Eve
