TALK TALK

I got me a complication
And it's an only child
Concern my reputation
As something more than wild
I know it serves me right
But I can't sleep at night
I have to hide my face
Or go some other place
No, I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong
I stay in hibernation
Until the talk subsides and gone
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
I guess I'm down to size, to size
I can't seem to talk about
The things that bother me
Seems to be what everybody has
Against me
Ow, ow, ooh yeah
Now here's my situation
And how it really stands
I'm out of circulation
I've all but washed my hands
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
I guess I'm down to size, to size
Talk talk...



CLONES (We're All)

I'm a clone
I know it and I'm fine
I'm one and more are on the way
I'm two, doctor
Three's on the line
He'll take incubation another day
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones, ugly ones
Stupid boys, wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
Six is having problems
Adjusting to his clone status
Have to put him on the shelf
All day long we hear him crying so loud
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
Be myself
Be myself
I'm all alone, so are we all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones, ugly ones
Stupid boys, wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all



PAIN

I'm hidden in the scream when the virgin dies
And I'm the ache in the belly when your baby cries
And I'm a burning sensation when the convict fries
I'm pain
I'm your pain
Unspeakable pain
I'm your private pain
And I'm the compound fracture in the twisted car
And I'm the lines on the face of the tramp at the bar
And I'm the reds by the bed of the suicide star
You know me
I'm pain
I'm your pain
Your own private pain
Unfathomable pain
And it's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through the night
All night
Tonight
I'm the holes in your arm when you're feeling the shakes
And I'm the lump on your head when you step on the rake
And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake
Yes, I'm pain
I'm just pain
I believe your pain
You need your pain
And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake
I'm the salt in the sweat on the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side while Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word at the vandalized grave
Ah, such pain
Don't you love me pain?
I love my pain
I'm your pain
It's a compliment to me
To feel you screaming through the night
All night
Tonight



LEATHER BOOTS

Leather boots poundin' the floor
Black and shiny, kickin' the door
The police hit the streets
They never take their boots off of their feet
If I break the law and get caught
I could get smashed in the face by the big boys
Cause they're frightened by the real world
Frightened by the real world
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
I saw a cop, he looked pretty shot
By some criminals, left there to rot
I took a look, no one around
I put his boots on and stomped on the ground
Stood tall and felt so strong
I wanted to be just like them
So I could hurt somebody
Hurt somebody
Hurt somebody
Hurt somebody
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
Don't you litter or squirm in the dark
Don't kill your lover and don't overpark
Cause if you murder or if you loot
You'll get the heel of my new leather boots
If I break the law and get caught
You could get smashed in the face by this young boy
Who's frightened by the real world
This boy is frightened by the real world
I gonna hurt somebody
Cause I'm frightened of the real world, oh yeah



ASPIRIN DAMAGE

I get these killer headaches
I get one everyday
I wake up with a migraine
Since you ran away
I got a load of tension
Burnin' up my neck
Something's wrong with my suspension
So pass those tablets to this wreck
Aspirin damage
Aspirin damage
Kills the pain
Destroys the brain
No one told me 'bout
Aspirin damage
Sometimes I find myself shakin'
From the medication taken, oh yeah
I balance my Excedrin
And Anacins in stacks
I'm a pain reliever junkie
I got a Bayer on my back
I went to see the doctor
He walked me down the hall
Said strip down till you're naked
Your suit, your tie and all
Aspirin damage
Aspirin damage
Kills the pain
But destroys the brain
Aspirin damage
My disadvantage
Sometimes I find myself shakin'
From the medication taken, oh yeah
Aspirin damage
Aspirin damage
It kills the pain
But destroys the brain
No one told me 'bout
Aspirin damage
Sometimes I find myself shakin'
From the medication taken, oh yeah
Aspirin damage
Aspirin damage
Kills the pain
And destroys the brain
No one told me 'bout
Aspirin damage
Sometimes I find myself shakin'
From the medication taken, oh yeah



NUCLEAR INFECTED

I'm nuclear infected
I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time
And I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
I just show up, glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy, I glow yellow
When I'm sad, I glow blue
And I glow red hot
When I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
It really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
I'm looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
We'll go out on a date
When I'm happy, I glow yellow
When I'm sad, I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot
When I'm in bed with you
Nuclear infected
Don't make me angry
Nuclear infected
Don't make me shake
Nuclear infected
Don't get me to sneeze
Nuclear infected
That's a big mistake
I wanna live on Three Mile Island
Where things are clean and neat
Cause we don't have no health freaks
Clutterin' up our streets
I'm nuclear infetched
Oh, I need something to eat
A China Syndrome Salad
With plutonium and cheese
When I'm happy, I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot
When I'm in bed with you

MODEL CITIZEN

Be an Arab, be a Jew
Be a boxing kangaroo
Beat yourself all black and blue
I don't care
Be a bleeder, be a cancer
A hemophiliac romancer
Be a crippled disco dancer
Ooh, what a pair
He's a model citizen
I think I've got them fooled them again
He's an ultra-sweety guy
And a master of disguise
He's a model citizen
Just keep believing that, my friends
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm an all American
I'm a hostage in a city of creeps
They've got mercenary guards that watch me sleep
They'd like to kill me slow and bury me deep
In the heart of Texas
I'm a martyr and I'm a sadist
Might be the Savior here to save us
I'm a friend of Sammy Davis, casually
He's a model citizen
I think I've got them fooled again
He's an ultra-sweety guy
I won't let down my disguise
He's a model citizen
Just keep believing that, my friends
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm an all American
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm a model citizen
I'm an all American



DANCE YOURSELF TO DEATH

Oh, my liberated parents
They are goin' out tonight
They read the hippest magazines
And they've loosened their uptights
Dad's wearin' real tight Levis
And some Gucci tennis shoes
He got a T-shirt custom made for him
Saying give me pot, not booze
I get a kiss goodbye
I get all numb and high
From all the smoke left on their breath
I smile and wish them well
And then I pray like hell
They go and dance themselves to death
Mom's hair's all green and dirty
She wears a high tech Devo suit
She changed her name to Xerox
She hides Quaaludes in her boots
Oh, and me, I'm all real embarrassed
When I hear the things they do
They kinda compromise my social position
And my coolativity is suffering, too
I get a kiss goodbye
I get all numb and high
From all the smoke left on their breath
I smile and wish them well
And then I pray like hell
They go and dance themselves to death
Ahh, dance
Real hard
I get a kiss goodbye
I get all numb and high
From all the smoke left on their breath
I smile and wish them well
And then I pray like hell
They go and dance themselves to death
Come on Momma
Come on Daddy
Come on skinny
Come on fatty
Shake it, Martha
Shake it, Larry
Shake it, Mr. Coronary
You gotta dance, dance
Come on and dance, dance
You gotta dance till you're outta breath



HEADLINES

Do a show, save a child
Raise a million bucks that'll last a while
Fight at parties, buy a horse
Lose a couple, win that big divorce
I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
Saw my chance, I made my break
I took the biggest float in the Rose parade
I got jailed, no disgrace
A hundred million people saw my face
I called a conference with the press
Announced my marriage plans in a wedding dress
I climbed a building at six-below
On New Year's Eve without a stitch of clothes
I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as they spell my name right
I hope that they can catch my best side
Popped out from a cake
At the President's ball, what a big mistake
Fifty guns aimed at me
I was nearly killed, but what publicity
Nominated, something big
I stole the hottest scene says the Globe And Trib
I did a movie, here comes the light
But I was starving then, so that's alright
I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as the spell my name right
Oh, I hope that they catch my best side
Keep my sidewalk status starbright
Feel free to walk on me tonight
Just don't spit on me
Headlines...
