Stay right there, go no further
Don't get a doctor, don't get my mother It's too far to walk, gotta decide Turn around, we're takin' a ride So take another pill from your purse Take a little ride in a hearse We're takin a ride We're takin a ride We're takin a ride Going real fast, hanging out the window Drinking in the back seat, half the bottle/at full throttle The light was green, so was I The radio's blasting, turn that shit off 90 miles an hour, slidin' on grease I got my doubts we'll make it in one piece Just takin a ride We're takin a ride We're takin a ride Stay right there, go no further Don't get a doctor, don't get your mother Out of the car, your hands on the hood Takin a ride but it's doin' no good |

Everybody that's on my block
They're tired of me that ain't no shock And I ain't got no idols I ain't got much taste I'm shiftless when I'm idle I got time to waste They tried to tell me that I should learn They told me it's best I wait my turn I can't wait forever I can't wait that long I'm shiftless when I'm idle I want to play this... I'm shiftless when I'm idle I'm shiftless when I'm idle I'm shiftless I'm shiftless |

One, two, three, four
Try to breathe some life into a letter Losing hope, never gonna be together My courage is at it's peak You know what I mean How do say you're O.K. to An answering machine? How do you say good night to An answering machine? Big town's got its losers Small town's got its vices A handful of friends One needs a match, one needs some ice Call-waiting phone in another time zone How do you say I miss you to An answering machine? How do say good night to An answering machine? I get enough of that Try to free a slave of ignorance Try and teach a whore about romance How do you say I miss you to An answering machine? How do you say good night to An answering machine? How do you say I'm lonely to An answering machine? The message is very plain Oh, I hate your answering machine I hate your answering machine I hate your answering machine... |

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
After a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall And sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in back with the loudmouths You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay at the house And everybody wants to be special here They call your name out loud and clear Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway Everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear Cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed? Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall |

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten We are the sons of no one, bastards of young We are the sons of no one, bastards of young The daughters and the sons Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom Elvis in the ground, there'll ain't no beer tonight Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten We are the sons of no one, bastards of young We are the sons of no one, bastards of young The daughters and the sons Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word (war?) to name us The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest And visit their graves on holidays at best The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them We are the sons of no one, bastards of young We are the sons of no one, bastards of young The daughters and the sons Young...take it, it's yours... |

Read about your band in some local page
Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm I headed up north, you headed north On and on and on and on What side are you on? On and on and on and on What side are you on? Weary voice that's laughin', on the radio once We sounded drunk, never made it on Passin' through and it's late, the station started to fade Picked another one up in the very next state On and on and on and on What side are you on? On and on and on and on and... Pretty girl keep growin' up, playin' make-up, wearin' guitar Growin' old in a bar, ya grow old in a bar Headed out to San Francisco, definitely not L.A. Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name And if I don't see ya, in a long, long while I'll try to find you Left of the dial |

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool? Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while. [Chorus:] Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that song." Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice. Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice. Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face. Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place. [Chorus:] I never travel far, without a little Big Star Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards. Falling asleep with a flop pop video on. If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe. [Chorus:] |

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake Wonderin' if I'll sleep Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street But you take the skyway It don't move at all like a subway It's got bums when it's cold like any other place It's warm up inside Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride Beneath the skyway Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say Up in the skyway Skyway Skyway (sky away) |

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow I promise not to blow the address again Lights that flash in the evening, Through a crack in the drapes Jesus rides beside me He never buys any smokes Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes See you're high and lonesome Try and try and try Lights that flash in the evening, Through a hole in the drapes I'll be home when I'm sleeping I can't hardly wait I can't wait. Hardly wait. |

Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor Never finishes, she abandons Never shows a soul And she's kind of like a movie Everyone rushes to see And no one understands it Sittin' in their seats She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be Well she dances alone in nightclubs Every other day of the week People look right through her Baby doll, check your cheek And she's kind of like a poet Who finds it hard to speak Poems come so slowly Like the colors down a sheet She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be I've been achin' for a while now, friend I've been achin' hard for years Well she's kind of like an artist Who uses paints no more You never show me what you're doing Never show a soul Well, I saw one of your pictures There was nothin' that I could see If no one's on your canvas Well, I'm achin' to be She closes her mouth to speak and Closes her eyes to see Thought about an' only loved She's achin' to be Just like me |

If there's a temporary lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull Man, I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from I was from Canada Well, I best become unstunned And if it's just a game Then I'll break down just in case Oh yeah, we're runnin' in our last race Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo I dreamt I was Surfer Joe An' what that means I don't know A dream too tired to come true Laughed a rebel without a clue And I'm searching for somethin' to do And if it's just a game Then we'll hold hands just the same So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut And I could purge my soul perhaps For the imminent collapse Oh yeah, I'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while and I'll be you A dream too tired to come true Laughed a rebel without a clue Won't you tell me what I should do And if it's just a lull Why'm I bored right outta my skull Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull And if it's just a game Then we'll break down just in case Then again, I'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while You be me for a while You be me for a while and I'll be you |

A "hush" was the first word you were taught
And they watched you wear The clothes they claimed they bought They brought you down To watch the merry-go around In fall, you knew how much A trouble doll around your neck when you lost You wouldn't make a sound But I could hear your little heart pound And I watched your feet slip off the ground Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams You wake to another day and find The wind's blow'in out of key with your sky Only you can see And the rain dancin' in the night Everybody stands around in daylight Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams And everybody thinks she's sick She's got two worlds she can pick And she's sad Hush is the only word you know And I stopped listening long ago They ignored me with a smile You as a child But the trouble doll hears your heart pound And your feet say goodbye to the ground Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down. it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams Merry go round in dreams Merry go round in me Merry go round Round and round in me Merry go round Round and round in me |
