Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time Yeah, almost every time
Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time
I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975 Yeah, 1975
I see scratches and the idiot kids I watched them getting high Out in the cold blue sky Watch and wonder as the asphalt babies burned Dancing in the flame, laughing all of the while
I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975
Watch and wonder as they fade away... Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Yeah, almost all of the time Dull, damaged, and blind... Whoa, 1975
I 'm not alive, 1975 I was not alive, 1975 I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind 1975 Watch and wonder as they fade away...
~~~Annabella's Song~~~
See you roll your eyes You know it makes me smile Yes you are like the sun to me All bright as liquid fire I feel so powerless Hold you up above the world Yeah you are quite a lot of trouble For such a pretty little girl
I know I'm never home I'm always miles and miles away Here I'm runnin' out of time Say the things I need to say I call you on the phone You will not talk to me Yeah you just don't understand You are my everything
Anna, Anna Tell me what you want Tell me what you need Anna, Anna You are never alone...
I like to watch you play When you don't know I'm there I watch you in your sleep at night Reach out and touch your hair I wanna make this world Be just how you want it to be Yeah you just don't understand You are everything to me
chorus
~~~Blondes~~~
You are a loser just like I was You are a loser like the rest of your friends You're a loser in the worst way I think you're losing just to make up
Yeah I've seen the light All around your face
I see you dying in the highway I see you climbing up the hill I see your sunshine on your blonde hair I see you worshipping the thrill
Yeah I've seen the light All around your face Yeah I've seen the light Shine in your eyes Yeah I've seen the light Light from another place Now I know its not real Yes I know it's not real... Yes I know it's not
Yeah I've seen the light All around your face Yeah I've seen the light Shine in your eyes Yeah I've seen the light From another place Now I know it's not real...
~~~Detroit~~~
I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend All bright-eyed and happy in pain I am dreaming of a Michigan girl See her come around Fall down, break & scatter everywhere... I close my eyes and I can see her waiting
I am pleading for a Michigan dream girl I am pleading for a Michigan girl See her come around Big lie wrapped inside her little glove... I close my eyes and I can see her waiting patient for me I cover my ears I clear my mind She starts to fade... (I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend) She's starting to fade... (I am dreaming of a Michigan girl)
I close my eyes I see her waiting oh so patient for me I cover my ears I close my mind She's starting to fade
~~~Drunk Again~~~
Kathy please just go away Don't let Hazel see you when you're high Just take a walk to your sleazy bar Come back after I've come down
Cross the street On your knees Makes me ashamed It's hard to sleep I can't shake your pain You get high, you'd just throw it away
Hey Kathy please give me a break I told you not to come here when you're drunk again I'm sober now just 30 days All alone and working hard to stay that way
Cross the street On your knees Makes it hard It's hard to see I can't shake your pain You get high, you'd just throw it away
Kathy please, yeah yeah I don't want to see you when you're down Just leave me be and go away You're not going to pull me down I won't let you throw it away
~~~For Pete's Sake~~~
We had a mutual friend and he said You've been talking again I'm not responsible for your life falling apart I'm not responsible
You and me could have been the best friends That we'd never had You've done everything that you could to damage me, damage me I'm walking away I'm closing my eyes I'm letting it go, letting it go Hey I'm telling you now I'm drawing the line Don't say it again Just keep it inside It happened to me, in love with the same girl Nobody's fault, yeah nobody's fault Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man Yeah keep it in...
You and me could have been the best friends But we'd never had the best friends I'm walking away, letting it go I'm closing my eyes I'm telling you now I'm lonely again, just keep it inside Hey, it happened to me, in love with the same girl It happened to me, me over you Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man Keep it in Yeah keep it in...
~~~Happy Hour~~~
Hey, makes me wonder, Why I just let them slip away, I'd trade my family and my friends, For an endless happy hour I know, sometimes I talk too much Hey, have a drink with me, And I will tell you what I think, Yeah I know I look like I am just some drunk to you, But I know who I was, And I know who I am
Hey, Hey, Hey makes me wonder, How I just do it every time Yeah, pushin', pullin', Until they just slip and fade away
I still know who I am...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, have a drink with me, And I will tell you when I'm done, Yeah, trade my family and my friends For an endless happy hour
I still know who I am...
~~~Hateful~~~
She is livin' far away from a lonely man in the San Francisco Bay, He is dreamin' hard of a girl all claid in bad plaid and mad at the whole world
All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent freaks, All of them are six feet tall all of them are hateful to me
She sleeps alone and wet with her phone in her face all tied up in her old bed, She walks alone everyday up and down the rainy streets in her own weird way
All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent freaks, All of them are six feet tall all of them are hateful to me, Hateful, yeah they're hateful to me...
Getting very hateful
~~~Lame~~~
Then they came on me They dragged me from the bar Still wet from sweat and beer I bruise so prettily by men blinded by their fear These men Broke my back and made me lame
Then she said to me I'd give you everything to make it like before To make you love me like you used to Make you love me more She said to me Your life is large but your mind is lame
I can't believe my eyes When I see the truth and all the things I've done And every place I'm queer I never stay I run I know now why I live in shame
Lame...
It's hard to sleep at night
I hardly ever sleep at night
~~~Local God~~~
You do that Romeo Be what you wanna be Look like you runnin' in place Do that stupid dance for me Do that Romeo That go-go Romeo I see you twist and turn You look so stupid, happy, and numb
Be my Romeo Please be my voice in this world I can't sing the songs that you sing I can't find the gorgeous words Will you be my Romeo? My go-go Romeo I see you twist and turn you look so stupid
I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys We do what we want, yes we do what we want I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys We do what we want, yeah we do what we want
Be my Romeo Tell me all about your love Tell me all about your pain Baited breath and rubber gloves Be my Romeo My go-go Romeo I see you twist and turn you look so fuckin' stupid
I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys We do what we want, yes we do what we want Summer days can lead to the bad times The world gets larger everyday Yeah, yeah, the summer days can lead to the bad blood That leaves me feelin' stupid, happy, and numb Stupid, happy, and numb I feel so stupid, happy and numb Stupid, happy and numb
I feel so stupid...
I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys We do what we want, we do what we want
~~~The Swing~~~
Never said I was innocent I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you Never said I was anything good I should die from the shame from what I put you through
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead I will take the blame for everything You know I just wanna help you forget
We are still living on broken glass We are still numb because it just keeps happening All your friends, they can kiss my ass They only see the simple things that they wanna see
Let me be the one to make the pain go away Shave my skin and show a brand new face You know I just wanna know that you're okay
You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now Sometimes I think The power is better than a hard drug Sometimes I think The power is better than anything Sometimes I think Letting go is just like giving up Sometimes all I think I wanna do is die inside All I wanna do is die inside All I ever think about is you and me falling apart
Never said I was innocent I will burn in Hell for the things I have done to you Never said I was anything good Na na na na...
Let me be the one to make the pain go away Shave my skin and show a brand new face You know I just wanna know that you're okay Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead I will take the blame for everything I just wanna help you forget
Sometimes I think Letting go is just like giving up Sometimes all I think about is falling apart
~~~American Girl~~~
She was an American girl Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life Somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to And if she had to die tryin' She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night She stood alone on the balcony She could hear the cars roll by Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there She crept back in her memory God, it's so painful when something that's so close Is still so far out of reach
chorus
~~~Bad Connection~~~
Morning, this morning the curtains are shut I'd ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me The radio reporter said the line's all dead He told me that I oughta write a letter instead Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me
Yes I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby won't know That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go Can you hear me Can you hear me at all Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call
And if I write a letter it won't get there on time I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me My car's all ready and my bags are all packed I'm late already and I won't be back Can you hear me, I've been calling all day Can you hear me
chorus 3x
Can you hear me at all?
~~~The Boys are Back in Town~~~
Guess who just got back today Those wild eyed boys who'd been away Haven't changed, hadn't much to say But man I still think those cats are crazy They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town
You know that chick who used to dance a lot? Every night she'd be on the floor Shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool She was red hot I mean she was steaming That time over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't wanna know forget her The boys are back in town, spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill Drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys wanna fight You better let 'em That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long It won't be long 'till Summer comes Now that the boys are here again
~~~Connection~~~
All I want to do is get back to you Connection, I just can't make no connection But all I want to do is to get back to you
Everything is going in the wrong direction The doctor wants to give me more injections Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections And I don't know if he'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection But all I want to do is to get back to you
My bags they get a very close inspection I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em They're dying to add me to their collection I don't know if they'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection But all I want to do is to get back to you
~~~Don't Change~~~
I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all directions Resolution of happiness Yeah, things have been dark for too long I don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Yeah, don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I found a love I had lost It was gone for too long Hear no evil in all directions Execution of bitterness Message received loud and clear
I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all directions Resolution of happiness Yeah, things have been dark for too long
~~~How Soon is Now?~~~
I am the son, I am the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does
I am the son, I am the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I'm the son and heir of nothing in particular
chorus
There is a club if you'd like to go You could meet someone who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home and you cry and you want to die
~~~The Joker~~~
Some people call me the space cowboy Some call me the gangster of love Some people call me Maurice 'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People keep talking about me, baby Said I'm doin' you wrong Well, don't worry, don't worry 'Cause I'm right here at home
Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner I play my music in the sun I'm a joker, I'm a smoker I'm a midnight toker I sure don't want to hurt no one
You're the cutest thing that I ever did see I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
chorus 2x
~~~Our Lips are Sealed~~~
Can you hear them They talk about us They're telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them See right through them Yeah that happens to you Nothing gets through for you Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Yes, our lips are sealed
When we walk by Then we must chose In our defense Silence When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Yes, our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey hey hey Our lips are sealed
Hush my darling, don't you cry Quiet, angel, forget their lies
Can you hear them They talk about us Telling lies, telling lies That's no surprise Can you see them See right through them Yeah that happens to you Nothing gets through for you Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Yes, our lips are sealed Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey hey hey Yes, our lips are sealed
~~~Pocahontas~~~
Aurora borealis The icy sky at night Our paddles break the water In a long and hurried flight From the white man and the fields of green And the homeland we've never seen
They killed us in our tepee They cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the big guns and the wagon wheels come Yes, and the night falls on the setting sun
They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little room at the top of the stairs With an Indian rug and a pipe to share
I wish a was a trapper I would give thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas And to find out how she felt In the morning on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen
Yes and maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astrodome and the first tepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Pocahontas
~~~Santa Baby~~~
Santa baby, just slip a guitar under the tree for me Been an awful good boy Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue Yeah, I'll wait up for you dear Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree With some decorations bought at Tiffany's I really do believe in you Let's see if you believe in me too
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring Yeah, I don't mean on the phone Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks Sign your X on the line Santa baby, now hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed Think of all the girlies that I could've kissed Next year I could be just as good If you'd check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, forgot to mention just one little thing, a ring I don't mean on the phone Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
~~~Search and Destroy~~~
I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm I'm a runaway son of a nuclear A-bomb I am the world's forgotten boy The one who searches and destroys
Honey please help me out Somebody gotta save my soul Baby please plea for me
Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology Ain't got time to make no apology Soul radiation in the dead of night Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey gotta strike me blind Somebody gotta save my soul Baby please take my mind
I'm the world's forgotten boy The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology Ain't got time to make no apology Soul radiation in the dead of night Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey please strike me blind Somebody gotta save my soul Baby please take my mind
I'm the world's forgotten boy The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
~~~Sin City~~~
Diamonds and dust Poor man last, rich man first Lamborghinis, caviar Dry martinis, Shangri-la I got a burnin' feelin' deep inside of me It's been burnin' But I'm gonna set it free
I'm going in to sin city I'm gonna win in sin city Where the lights are bright Do the town tonight I'm gonna win in sin city
Ladders and snakes Ladders give, snakes take Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief You ain't got a hope in hell, yeah that's my belief
Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim They're gettin' ready, cause I'm comin' in So spin that wheel, cut the crap, and roll those loaded dice Bring on the dancin' girls and put the champagne on ice
I'm going in to sin city I'm gonna win in sin city Where the lights are bright Do the town tonight I'm going in to sin city
~~~Southern Girls~~~
I been north, I been east, to the California beach There's only one place I know where to find you And you Southern girls got a way with your words and you show it You say hump and I'll jump You say go and I know, waste no time gettin so close to you And you remember the way to find out that I wanted to thank you
Ooh baby needs some brand new shoes You get out on the street, you got nothing to lose I feel your crazy and everyone says it Southern girls, you got nothing to lose
I've been up, I've been down I've been weak, I've been strong But I've never met someone like you And you'll never know that if I found you I'd thank you You say hump and I'll jump You say go and I know, waste no time gettin so close to you And all you Southern girls got a way with your words and you show it

You might think this boy he loves you, Southern girl You make it hard, oh so hard I been north, I been east, to the California beach There's only one place I know where to find you And you Southern girls got a way with your words and you show it
chorus
~~~Speedracer~~~
Here he comes, here comes Speedracer He's a demon on wheels He's a demon and he's gonna be chasing after someone He's gaining on you so you better look alive He's busy revving up the powerful Mach-5 And when the odds are against him and there's dangerous work You can bet your life Speedracer will see it through
Go Speedracer
Go Speedracer
Go Speedracer, go
He's off and flying as he guns his car around the track He's jamming down the pedal like he's never coming back Adventure's waiting just ahead!
~~~What Do I Get~~~
I just want a lover like any other, what do I get I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do I get
What do I get, whoa, what do I get What do I get, whoa, what do I get
I'm in distress, I need a caress, what do I get I'm not on the make, I just need a break, what do I get
What do I get, whoa, what do I get What do I get, whoa, what do I get
I only get sleepless nights Alone here in my half-empty bed For you things seem to turn out right I wish they'd only happen to me instead
What do I get, whoa, what do I get What do I get, whoa, what do I get
I only get sleepless nights Alone here in my half-empty bed For you things seem to turn out right I wish they'd only happen to me instead
What do I get, whoa, what do I get What do I get, whoa, what do I get
I just want a lover like any other, what do I get I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do I get
What do I get, whoa, what do I get What do I get, whoa, what do I get
Well let me tell you now (What do I get) No love (What do I get) No sleep at night (What do I get) Nothing that's nice (What do I get) Nothing at all, at all, at all...
'Cause I don't get you
