Jerry's yelling at the man in the Moon He's right outside of my window He acts like a madman from time to time I hope he brings it to a crescendo soon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry rides his skateboard down the street He's thirty-seven years old with six children He sees the world through a ten year old boy's eyes He doesn't even notice that it's raining outside Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon But sometimes he cries He wants me to console him But I know that he's lying about everything he's told me Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Says he's prepared to suffer the consequences What is his penalty for his immaturity Will he be cast into eternal darkness Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon |

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners At the Hotel Flamingo, wearing black market shoes This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder Christ, what's she doing with him She could be dancing with me She stirs the ice in the glass with her elegant finger I want to be what she's drinking, yeah, I just want to be 1-I saw you first, I'm the first one tonight I saw you first, don't that give me the right To move around in your heart Everyone was looking But I saw you first On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car She flies like a bird over his shoulder She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star (repeat 1) In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin' The radio is playing, she left her shoes out in the rain He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky He just made that story up, there ain't no girl like that (repeat 1) But I saw you first Yeah, yeah, yeah |

Please be quiet, everyone asleep Stella loocked her door and she requested some peace She teaches the English at the American school She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule She says it hard to worry about the future When your past is knocking at your door Sweet mistakes and information Have been her lovers before Hello all you losers You got nothing to fear This may not be the end of the world but you can see it from here She runs the motors and the music On the carousel ride She catches the children on the horses As they fall through the rye It hard to see the future When your back is bending over your shoes It hard holding on to nothing When you got nothing to lose Hello all you losers You got nothing to fear This may not be the end of the world but you can see it from here I guess you heard about ol?Pee Wee We had to tear his playhouse down Then they put him in the electric chair We have some fun now When you see her, give her some compliments On her looks Shebe wearin?a Mardi Gras dress Coming after you with words and books We given you the best seats in the house So don't be late St. Peter is at the door And he ain't no man to wait Hello all you losers You got nothing to fear This may not be the end of the world but you can see it from here Hello all you losers You got nothing to fear This may not be the end of the world but you can see it from here |

(Sally in the roses) I woke up today Everything's on my shoulders I never told her Such emotional love I hear what you say Yes I owe ya But I don't know ya And I smash soldiers with love I'll come there today To your station It's recreation This passing notion of love I hear what you say It's demonstration Crossing oceans above Crossing oceans above Hand on my shoulder Like I told her I control ya Crossing oceans above Sally in the roses What she knows is Such emotional love Such emotional love Such emotional love (repeat 3 more times) Not for beginners or Sunday sinners Court disasters A.J just killed his love Who's on the left and right lonely days and nights Who's your master When gods pass motions above I hear what you play On your station Smashing Soldiers with love Crossing oceans above Such emotional love Such emotional love Such emotional love Such emotional love I woke up today Everything's on my shoulders I never told her Such emotional love I hear what you say Yes I know ya But I don't owe ya And I smash soldiers with love I'll come there today To your station It's recreation This passing notion of love is crossing oceans above Such emotional love Such emotional love (repeat 7 more times) |

I'd like to take him out to dinner sometime Drive around in his motorcade Talk about those bills that ain't been paid and maybe later on, just for fun, We'll shoot off his submachine gun We'll shoot out the sky, shoot out the sea Shoot out those dreams about you and me Take my hand girl, I know where you've been Up the flag pole and back down again Walk on water or sink or swim When you're with me Her majesty, the Queen, is a pretty nice babe And I'd like to take her down to St. Petersburg someday Hand around with her friends and old Joe Kennedy After dinner I might give her a squeeze Then we'll just see how blue her blood really is And in the morning she can duce me to her kids Take my hand girl, I know where you've been Up the flag pole and back down again Walk on water or sink or swim When you're with me Well our lord Jesus he wants me to pray So I do every single day I don't know if I'm coming in very clear Supposedly he can hear me from here and sometimes he gives me a little relief When I'm down here on my knees But there's no redemption on judgment day For people like you and me Take my hand girl, I know where you've been up the flag pole and back down again Walk on water or sink or swim When you're with me |

I've ridden down Sunset I drank expensive wine I've been married 2 dozen times Raised ten children on a workman's pay And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday Of the full catastrophe of life I've sat in courtrooms had people call me names I've been to London town On a supersonic plane I was lovin' your wife While you were lovin mine And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday Of the full catastrophe of life I've opened my belt to trouble everyday Ain't looking for a fight But you know I won't run away From the full catastrophe of life I've seen the goodness I've known the baddest around I was tattooed when it first came out I shook the hand that showed Moses the way And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday Of the full catastrophe of life |

There may come a day when you grow weary Troubled waters stain the paper cup From other venues, other voices carry Spilled dreams soaking into thirsty dust Maybe then and there you'll find another Lover with a blank and empty heart Filled with breath and old sails to discover Strength to push the seas apart On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon Both of us circling round the moon There may come a day when you feel anger China cracked and glued by clumsy hands Veins of memory touching only hunger the heart devours what it cannot understand On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon Both of us circling round the moon Maybe it was then I saw my future Saw it as a shadow on the ground Beneath the earth old nails to discover Strength to hold my body down On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon On the day we met I began to want you, want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon the both or us circling round the moon both of us circling round the moon |

Someday this will all be over Nothing lasts forever Thank god for change I love you now, we should stay together No one's crying about a single thing Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can You may sleep where your lover leads you Come and brush these crumbs from my bed Tell me the truth, I will never leave you I'll be happy by the baby's bed Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can When this world becomes an ocean We will find the desert Right next to the pig's tail And watch the summer sun Corrugated roofs with little white houses Hide the dogs that walk on three legs Someday this will all be over No one's playing that pissin game Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can Large world turning No one can see the end Large world turning No one sees the end No one sees the end Large world turning Live while you can Live while you can |

What if I came knocking
On your front door some night? Would you open the window And drop me down the key? What if I came knocking On your bedpost that same night? Would you open up your heart Or try to get the best of me? What if I came knocking On your brain the next day And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty? Would you build up your big walls And try to hide behind that smile Or would you try to pull the wool right over me? So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came kicking And it scared you a little bit, And I came on strong Would you think That there's something wrong with me? Or could it be your fears Of trying something real Or just afraid to touch a... A guy like me? What if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) What if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) What if I came knocking On your front door some night? Ah-hah. So let's just say it worked out Like a storybook dream And we lived happily ever after. Fa la la la. But what if I came crying After just a few weeks And said I misread my heart, This is not really meant to be? Yeah. So if you hear some knocking On your window tonight You can bet that it's, uh, probably me. But let it be known That we're just a pair of tumbling dice And the outcome of these crap shoots Is hard to see. So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking On your front door tonight? Ah-hah. (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking? Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking (What if I came knocking?) Kick, kick, kick (What if I came knocking?) What if I came knocking On your front porch tonight, tonight? |
