In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes
With the freighters towering over me I can hear the jets flying overhead Making lines across the darkening sky And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for me Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round (alright) So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free And I could get away from you And you could get away from me And we could live each separately in our cities in the sun Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round (alright) In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosphorus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing ((Platters:Smoke Gets In Your Eyes|Smoke Gets In Your Eyes)) And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round I don't know I don't know I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) I don't know (Why you say you are not in love with me) Why you say you (music stops) are not in love with me |

No phone No phone,
I just want to be alone today No phone no phone Ringing stinging, Jerking like a nervous bird Rattling up against his cage Calls to me throughout the day See the feathers fly No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone No phone no phone I just want to be alone today Rhyming chiming got me working all the time Gives me such a worried mind Now I don't want to seem unkind But god, it's such a crime No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone... Shaking quaking, waking me when I'm asleep Never lets me go too deep Summons me with just one beep The price we pay is steep I've been on fire and yet I've still stayed frozen So deep in the night My smooth contemplations will always be broken My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken No I don't have any change but here's a few subway tokens No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone No phone no phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone |

You keep pushing me away
In spite of what you say I found out yesterday That I've been wasting all my time Trying to make you smile Trying to make this seem worth While you've been pushing me around In spite of what I do Trying to make things good for You, take your economy car and your suitcase Take your psycho little dogs Take it all away... You've been racing through my mind You're picking up in speed You're driving recklessly It's like a car crash happening on my street Broken bodies at my feet And sirens on the way They're too late 'Cause nobody's going to save us We're a rubbernecker's dream We're burning gasoline Go take your economy car and your suitcase Take your psycho little dogs Take it all away... And go Go ahead and destroy this Better come with an army Are you feeling, feeling okay baby? Na-na-na-na-na-na Take your economy car and your suitcase Take your psycho little dogs Take it all away |

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf Is a small reminder of a simpler time When a crumpled up pair of trousers lost a brand new dime Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you When I'm on the ground I roll through town I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around I'm a dime , I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I am determined not to be dented By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented... I'm a dime , I'm fine And I shine In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around There's a ringle jingle near the underpass There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash I'm a dime, I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I'm silver-plated, I'm underrated You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call... I'm a dime , I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime, I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime, I'm fine And I shine |

Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear X2
Where's the air? X4 After car after bus after car after truck After this my lungs will be so fucked up I wish I was in that Mercedes Benz Sealed away from my scents I'd have the music high going 95 Too much, too much, too much, too much... Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear X2 Don't you care? Don't you care? Don't you don't you don't you care? After car after bus after car after truck After this my lungs will be so fucked up I wish I wasn't just a pedestrian Breathing all this in I look up at that grey sky It makes me want to... (ohhhh) Too much, too much, too much... Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear. |

Who draws the crowd,
who plays so loud baby, it's the guitar man. Who's gonna steal the show, you know, baby, it's the guitar man. He can make you laugh, he can make you cry, He will break you down, he will get you high. And something keeps him going miles and miles away, to find another place to play, and night after night - who treats you right, baby, it's the guitar man. who's on the radio, you know, baby, it's the guitar man when he comes to town and you see his face and you think you might like to take his place something keeps him drifting miles and miles away searching for the songs to play then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along and you want to get the meaning out of each and every song and you find yourself a message and some words to call your own.. and take 'em home. |

So we think that we're important
And we think that we make sense And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence And you can soak your bread in gravy You can soak your bread in soup But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you So you know you'll always be waiting Always be waiting for someone else to call Yeah you know you'll always be waiting Always be waiting I say always be waiting... And you can soak your bread in water You can soak your bread in wine It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time And you can do it to your conscience You can do it all the time You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine But you know you'll always be waiting Always be waiting for someone else to call Yeah you know you'll always be waiting Always be waiting I say always waiting I say always be waiting |

She'll hang the baskets on the walls
Don't you know I've seen it all before She'll hang the baskets on the walls But I've seen it all before, heard the slamming of the door Come summer, come fall Come winter, there'll be baskets on the floor He'll go to buy her turtle wax But in his mind, he won't be coming back She'll hang the baskets on the walls But I've seen it all before, heard the slamming of the door Come summer, come fall Come winter, there'll be baskets on the floor But I've seen it all before, heard the slamming of the door Come summer, come fall Come winter, there'll be baskets on the floor She'll hang the baskets on the walls She'll hang the baskets on the walls She'll hang the baskets on the walls She'll hang the baskets on the walls |

People you love will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair, your teeth Your knife will fall out of its sheath But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie People you hate will get their hooks into you They'll pull you down, you'll frown They'll tar you and drag you through town But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show... People you hate will get their hooks into you They'll pull you down, you'll frown They'll tar you and drag you through town But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show |

When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it When the house was standing You'd never have believed The bricks and mortar have all given way At first they resisted but then they began to sway How can you say forever is at your command How can you say the future's in the palm In the palm of your hand... When the house was standing You'd never have believed it When the house was standing You'd never have believed That gaping hole was once a foundation Where you stand now were tools in the basement How can you say forever is at your command How can you say the future Is in the palm The palm of your hand |
