I want to tell you about something special
I want to tell you what makes men need I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into I think I'm talking 'bout love and greed You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed A man in love willing to walk through fire A greedy man like a moth to a flame A man in love willing to go half crazy A greedy man likely to go insane You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed To love and greed To love and greed To love and greed So the trap's been set and you've took the bait You saw it all go down just a little too late But now you're hooked and to your surprise You saw how some of it was real and some was lies But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much And there's never been a cure for that as such You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home But like it or not you're no longer alone A man in love don't know what he's doing A greedy man always says he does A man in love sold his soul up the river That's where a greedy man's soul always was You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed To love and greed To love and greed To love and greed |

I'm mulling it over
Thoughts at a grasp You know I'm taking it in now So much, so fast I'm riding a feeling Into deeper seas I can't seem to fret now It don't bother me 'Cause I'm mulling it over, yeah Said I'm mulling it over I said I'm mulling it over I said I'm mulling it over Oh, mulling it over... I said I'm mulling it mulling it Mulling it mulling it Mulling it over mulling it over Twinkle twinkle little star Wish I could afford a guitar Sing a song of sixpence, pocketful of rye Wish it was more than crumbs I could buy Meet forever after Don't he dress real well You know he's clutching his chest now Or couldn't you tell Desperate to score now No matter how hard he tries You know he's strung out on future See it in his eyes And I'm mulling it over Said I'm mulling it over I said I'm mulling it over I said I'm mulling it over and over and over and over and over, yeah |

Ya know,
There's this park, you see, in New York That's what this song is about Where we used to grow up And, um, hang around And then we started moving on And started going on the road We weren't home that much But, back then they had this really great idea When we hit town These parks were prime real estate, you see And if we could keep them nice-looking We could charge more rent for the places around town Now, I know you guys have that here around Boston But, you know, in New York They had this great idea that there had to be a crack-down So we could sweep the park clean of the undesirable elements And we figured, what could we do? Besides vote Perhaps we could tell a song To you Through the musical medium And then you'll know So here we go I really hope so Well, here it is... Rich man smells smoke, he smells something burning green Doesn't like the odor, better put some badges on the scene Put a blue suit on everybody you see hangin' round And if that don't work, we're gonna close that park down... But anyway Yesterday a man was busted trying to walk his dog Cop didn't like his attitude, say that he was against the law Shoot everybody with a mutt this side of the town And if that don't work, we're gonna close that park down... Preach on, my wounded Chandler You know when you're walkin through that park one night Whether your skin is black or white And you feel that particular pressure on the back of your head And the hairs on the back of your neck start to stand up And you hear a (police call) Trust those hairs Because if you're big or burly Or even short and surly Or if your cat's named Shirley You could be walkin through that park And meet with the most undesirable disaster Compliments of your taxes I'm not saying its gonna happen I'm not saying that it will definitely happen But it could happen Because it has happened I mean, it could be you Or you, or you, or you, or you Those guys back there Yeah, that guy, yeah definitely Those three, easily Yup, you Yup, that guy That guy Him Those guys up there Stinky or Scarface Anybody Well, enough of my yacking What about your truth and your mother's apple pie I guess it's all another part of your grand designing lie Should I tell you something pretty so you don't end my way of life Or should I come up from behind with some stolen, bloody, rusty knife Well maybe I should sit by and watch you kill my friends And maybe I can learn to love you and hope you never end Perhaps I can learn to hate you but I think I already do All I know for sure right now, it's gotta be me or you While your uncle rolls his joints with his fifty dollar bill I'm off in some other park, and I'm laughing at you still Laughing my saggy ass of at you baby C'mon tell me all of your stories Tell me about your politics Tell me anything Tell me how you blame your kids Tell me |

Well I've guessed your name and I'm sure you know mine
I'd like to discuss our mutual friend I can't help but feel that I left him behind Does he still stay with you or did his pain ever end I guess I don't deserve to know If he ever let go I guess I don't really need to see If he wound up with you or did he ever break free When we were both young, you took us in And taught us to play survival games He'd lost so much that you let him win But I had a home so it just wasn't the same I had the strength To look you in the eye And say goodbye I was lucky And I didn't have to play Does he still stay with you or did he get away I used what I had and I escaped I smelled something good and I followed its track But all he could smell was the world that you shaped It took all my strength and I just couldn't look back I remember him Calling after me I keep that memory The last thing he screamed out aloud Was "Hey don't you leave me alone!" Yeah he might live with you but he called me his home I guessed your name and some day so will he Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free Cause one of these ides he's gonna break... |

A thousand times a prophet
A New York City prophet They lie there all forgotten I wonder who will hear them next Well it won't be me and it won't be you Kind of makes you wonder who Any sympathetic ear would do Who's gonna hear them next? Well, lie prophet lie For the sky is much too high Keep it in your eye And memorize the moon Dream prophet dream Don't you listen to them scream We know they didn't hear you yet But you're bound to get there soon What do you think we'd hear them say? Would they drop down on their knees and pray? Would they tell us that it's all okay? Who do you think will ease their pain? And if we dare to listen As the tears freeze up and glisten With the current savior risen Who do you think will ease their pain? Lie prophet lie For the sky is much too high Keep it in your eye And memorize the moon Dream prophet dream Don't you listen to them scream We know they didn't hear you yet But you're bound to get there soon What will our mighty future be? For there ain't no prophet here to see That narrows it down to you and me Do you want to live or die? Well we've chosen death with its toll begun You know, I've always pictured life more fun Too bad we couldn't ever act as one Do you want to live or die? Well, lie prophet lie For the sky is much too high Keep it in your eye And memorize the moon Dream prophet dream Don't you listen to them scream We know they didn't hear you yet But you're bound to get there soon |

The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling I can do no wrong I've got a long way to walk Can't afford my next meal I tell a few lies but my hunger is real And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years Mademoiselle tell me do you play Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay I watch her walk away in haste There's just no accounting for some people's taste And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years Big angry man in the doorway there Just keep on walking like I don't care Why you giving such and evil eye Could it be you were ignored by every passerby And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years Play in the park for tobacco and food Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude Tourist don't want me to end his show But this colorful attraction got places to go And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years Sit at the pier watch the sun go down Another lost little boy in a big old town I want to laugh I want to cry But no matter how hard I try It won't mean a thing in a hundred years No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years (2x) |

I lied and told her I loved her,
She didn't care, but anyway I told her we'd still be friends, And she didn't care, but anyway I tried last week for to call her, She wasn't home, but anyway I think I'll spend my life alone, I really don't care right now, but anyway It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands I'm quitting cigarette smoking It's bad for me, but anyway I don't think the TV was joking When it told me this, but anyway The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats It's my life he's trying to save, but anyway I found out that I've got eye cancer Too many television waves, but anyway It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands Some day an answer will find us Quite a long shot, but anyway I think the past, the past is behind us Be real confusing if not, but anyway I put all my hope in tomorrow It's gonna be great, I can tell but anyway I see a new, a new day a dawning I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands |

I said "I love you"
She began to cry She said she needed a friend I said "I'll try" Soon we'd say nothing Somehow I never wondered why You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'd loved her always She didn't know I tried patience Let a friendship grow I tried to keep her That's what made her go You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone Beauty and the beast Was how it seemed to be A love like hers Ain't meant for guys like me Some call me crazy Some politely call me free But either way you see You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk I love you with a passion that you just don't know And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so I could rant, or rave, or play some little game But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act Cuz you set me free I'm a man among men But when I think of what I missed it starts all again Now alone in the darkness of each new day My heart is on its own I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away Watch this bassman take me home I guess some day Love will soon be here And maybe then I'll see things more clear I guess I got excited Cause it felt so near And You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone But I know I'd give my life Just to hold her now And who knows I might see her around Hopes can always go up Tears can only come down You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone Hey... You see she left me |

I walk right by him and he's freezing his ass off
He could be dead, I'm supposed to walk away I won't remember a thing come the summertime Handful of quarters make me feel okay Ah, ah, who's gonna have to pay? Ah, ah, who do I love today? I love what's mine ‘cause what's mine is all mine Gives me a reason to go get more Don't really care where I go to get it I ain't too clear about "What's yours is yours" You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door If you don't like a single thing that I'm saying If you're offended when I demonstrate Don't mean a damn to me and I shall continue Hope you won't mind if I control my fate Ah, ah, who do I have to fight? Ah, ah, to defend my created right I'll defend what's mine ‘cause what's mine is all mine It's what I'd fight for, it's for what I'd bleed I roll the dice on the grand experiment While I am strong I will get what I need You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door If you're concerned with the moral imperative If you are tripping on the right thing to do Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay I think there's money in a book about you Ah, ah, what have you got to lose? Ah, ah, which are you gonna choose? I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine Gonna make a million on the folly of men Don't even care about no consequences Turn my damnation into chapter ten You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door Oh Oh yeah |

Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend Who needs to humor me and tell me lies Yes humor me and tell me lies And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find And when you're feeling open I'll still be here But not without a certain degree of fear Of what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down Oh yeah And shake me and my confidence About a great many things But I've been there I can see it cower Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings Of a bad play where the heroes are right And nobody thinks or expects too much And hollywood's calling for the movie rights Singing hey babe let's keep in touch Hey baby let's keep in touch But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down Ha la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking And I've got some news for you It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop And there ain't a whole lot that you can do Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder Perhaps I've grown a little cynical But I know no matter what the waitress brings I shall drink in and always be full Yes, my cup shall always be full Oh I like coffee And I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea I still got this dream that you just can't shake I love you to the point you can no longer take Well all right okay So be that way I hope and pray That there's something left to say But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down |
