I used to know you when we were young, you were in all my dreams
We sat together in period one, fridays at 8:15 Now i see your face in the strangest places: movies and magazines I saw you talking to christopher walken on my tv screen and i will wait for you as long as i need to and if you ever get back to hackensack i'll be here for you i used to work in a record store, now i work for my dad scraping the paint off of hardwood floors, the hours are pretty bad sometimes i wonder where you are, probably in L.A. that seems to be where everybody else ends up these days and i will wait for you as long as i need to and if you ever get back to hackensack i'll be here for you and i will wait for you as long as i need to and if you ever get back to hackensack i'll be here for you if you ever get back to hackensack i'll be here for you |

Is that supposed to be your poker face
Or was someone run over by a train? You’re minding your own business But you’re begging for forgiveness Just the same And it’s running back and forth inside your mind Just how that town defined you Dressed you up, painted on your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place You’re waking, trying not to be Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn The nighttime’s wrapped around you ‘Will be until it traps you on the dawn From the C-Train to the shiny tower Kicked around till happy hour found you Where you can drink that smirk right off your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place And here is your reflection In a building uptown A ghost is at some Madison Avenue display Like water under bridges You’re slowly passing by She sailed between the rooftops and the sky And the bourbon sits inside me Right now I’m a puppet in its sway And it may be the whiskey talking But the whiskey says, “I’ll miss you every day” So I taxi to an all-night party Park me in a corner, in an old chair Sip my drink and stare out into space And now you’re leaving New York For no better place And now you’re leaving New York For no better place |

Hey sweet Annie, don’t take it so bad
You know the summer’s coming soon Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon Your daddy told you when you were a girl The kind of things that come to those who wait So give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl Meet me at the Bay State tonight (Chorus) The snow is coming down On our New England town And it’s been falling all day long What else is new? What can I do, I wrote a valley winter song to play for you. (subsequently: But sing this valley winter song I wrote for you.) And late December can drag a man down You feel it deep in your gut Short days and afternoons spent puttering around In a dark house with the windows painted shut Remember New York, staring outside As reckless winter made its way From Staten Island to the Upper West Side Whiting out our streets along the way (Chorus) (instrumental break – main verse chords) (Chorus) |

The clock's running down
The team's losing ground To the opposing defense The young quarterback Waits for the snap When suddenly it all starts to make sense He's got all kinds of time He's got all kinds of time All kinds of time He's got all kinds of time All kinds of time He takes a step back He's under attack But he knows that no one can touch him now He seems so at ease A strange inner peace Is all that he's feeling somehow He's got all kinds of time He's got all kinds of time All kinds of time He's got all kinds of time All kinds of time [Bridge] He thinks of his mother He thinks of his bride-to-be He thinks of his father His two younger brothers Gathered around the widescreen TV He looks to the left He looks to the right And there in a golden ray of light Is his open man Just like he planned The whole world is his tonight |

Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee
Fifty million people out in front of me Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while Rain's coming down, I can't see a thing Radio's broken, so I'm whistling New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles It's not right It's not fair I'm still a mess And you still don't care I go to work I come back home But you're still gone and I'm still alone And the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone Oh no Stuck in a meeting on a Monday night Trying to get the numbers to come out right I'm getting tired, think I just might need a drink And as I'm reaching in the bottom drawer I'm dreaming 'bout the way it was before Life was so easy, I never really had to think It's not right It's not fair I'm still a mess And you still don't care I go to sleep When I wake up The pain sets in and it never stops And the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking On the desktop mailbox of my big black laptop Oh no It's not right It's not fair I'm still a mess And you still don't care I go to work I come back home But you're still gone and I'm still alone And the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking No no, the little red light's not blinking On my big black Radio Shack digital portable phone Oh no |

Workin' all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a dog around the track But when I get back home you're always there to rub my back Chorus: Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down Julie, I swear it's so hard to bear it And I'd never make it through without you around No, I'd never make it through without you around Verse: Hours on the phone makin' pointless calls I got a desk full of paper that means nothin' at all Sometimes I catch myself staring into space Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face Chorus Bridge: How did it come to be That you and I must be Far away from each other every day? Why must I spend my time Fillin' up my mind With facts and figures that never add up anyway They never add up anyway Verse: Workin' all day for a mean little guy With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel Chorus |

Halley's Waitress
never comes around She's hiding in the kitchen She's nowhere to be found I just want some coffee Is that too much to ask? Halley's Waitress Is not up to the task And when she finally appears It's like she's been away for years (Chorus) It's been so long So long Darling don't you know We miss you when you're gone So long So long Darling don't you know We miss you when you're gone Ahhhhh Halley's Waitress Has vanished once again She's talking to her agent She's calling all her friends Forget about the coffee I'll just take a check Halley's Waitress You know you'll get yours yet Ahhhhh 8x's (Repeat Chorus) |

While I down Kentucky bourbon
I am waiting for a call And the moon and stars tonight Are playing shadows on the wall With the moon the way it is, dear Would you answer out of spite Or are you feeling lonely tonight Cause I remember last time We were out under the stars Driving crooked down the highway Drinking beer in roadside bars And now and then I wonder Why this painful memory Can never find its way to you from me And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you Well the house I'm ringing up from Is a half a mile from you But with the reception I'm getting Might as well be Timbuktu And behind the door of your home Is a strange and foreign land Where you speak a language I don't understand And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar Like a thousand other times With an appetite for poison And a suitcase full of dimes And I'll wait there by the payphone With one hundred other guys With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you |

Driving on the lawn
Sleeping on the roof Drinking all the alcohol All the kids from school Will be naked in the pool While our parents are on Fire Island Cranking up the tunes 'Til the windows break Feeding chocolate to the dog Jumping on the couch 'Til the feathers all come out While our parents are on Fire Island We're old enough by now To take care of each other We don't need no babysitter We don't need no father or mother We're old enough by now Don't worry 'bout a thing Don't you remember Last December When you went to Steamboat Springs? Driving on the lawn Sleeping on the roof Drinking all the alcohol All the kids from school Will be naked in the pool While our parents are on Fire Island |

Peace & love, Peace & love
that’s all I’m thinking of, baby, Peace & love Riding around in a Volkswagen van Thinking of the people upside down in Japan Staring at the stars in a distant galaxy Wondering if there’s someone out there staring back at me Peace & love, Peace & love that’s all I’m thinking of, baby, Peace & love Lying on the floor just playing my guitar Trying to find a chorus for just the way you are Plane crash flashing on my TV Well it coulda been you, baby, it coulda been me We’ll never live forever but baby things could be worse ‘Cause when we get together we are one with the universe Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont Open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant Got crazy karma never harmed a single soul So if want to join me then together we’ll grow old singing: Peace & love, Peace & love that’s all I’m thinking of, baby, Peace & love |

Come on, now get your ass out of bed
You head what the man said The crew is already gone We were all kinda high, but man what were you on? Tried to take a shuttle to Spain They kicked me off of the plane I guess I'll go to Japan It all looks the same when you stump for the man And down in the valley we crawl in the alley Who knew the 101 was so long? Before you get sold, you get bought for a song Sake in aluminum cans It fell in the wrong hands And now we're chewing the scene Stumbling out of the Lexingoton Queen Walking through a German hotel And not walking ver well I gotta get to the van Excuse me, I'm weaving as fast as I can And tom won't admit he got lost in the city He's saying that the directions are wrong Before you get sold, you get bought for a song And down in the valley we crawl in the alley Who knew the 101 was so long? Before you get sold, you get bought for a song |

Multi-colored microbus
Plowing over rugged terrain We're jacking the radio Passing the afternoon train Around the roses she showed us Hyacinths and sage Gold plated garden tools Sunlamps and it's all the rage Stay low to the ground or they'll sniff you out You never know what you will find When you go Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind Gather round the gas tower don't it kindo look like a bong I heard it backwards Hidden in a Pink Floyd song Stella Radiata It's got to set your mind at ease Spinning on the tire swing Flying like Tarzan through the trees And back to the bus when the sun goes down Try to aim it back into town We're riding Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind And coriander grows along the banks where we go walking at night Creeping slowly over the ground We tiptoe round the garden Trying not to tramp it down Stay low to the ground or they'll sniff you out You nver know what you will find When you go Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind |
