I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
And his wizard's hat He spoke of his movie and how he was makin' a new sound track And then we spoke of kids on the coast And different types of organic soap And the way suicides don't leave notes, Then we spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine I was speakin' to Bill who was given to pills and small racing cars He had given them up since his last crack-up had carried him too far Then we spoke of the movies and verse And the way an actress held her purse And the way life at times can get worse, Then we spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine Ah, she's a wild child, and nobody can get at her She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone Without a house or a home and then she asked you, please, Hey, baby, can I have some spare change Oh, can I break your heart ? She's a wild child, she's a wild child I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions, how they made her ill But life in the theater, is certainly fraught With many spills and chills But she'd come down after some wine Which is what happens most of the time Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes Till we spoke of Loraine, ah, always back to Lorraine I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead by mutual friends He thought it was funny that I had no money to spend on him So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese And sang of our lives and our dreams And how things can come apart at the seams And we talk of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get at her She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone Without a house or a home and then she asked you, please, Oh, baby, can I have some spare change Now can I break your heart?"

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine We went to school, he was my best friend And I thought our friendship would never end In high school he played football And me, I didn't do anything at all He made touch-downs, while I played pool And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool Then we both went to collage He studied medicine while I studied foliage He got A's and I got D's He was going for his Ph.D. Then I decided to drop out Things were getting a little too hot Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor Then war broke out and he had to go But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so When he came back, he wasn't quite the same His nerves were shot, but not me Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door Billy was a friend of mine I grew up with him ever since I was nine We went together through school And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool |

going to public school During recess in the concrete playground they lined us up by twos In alphabetical order, Reagan, Reed and Russo I still remember the names And stickball and stoopball were the only games that we played And I wanted to be like my old man I, I wanted to grow up just like my old man I wanted to be like my old man I wanted to dress like, I wanted to be just like I wanted to act like my old man I wanted to be like, I wanted to act like I wanted to be just like my old man And then like everyone else I started to grow And I didn't want to be like my father anymore I was sick of his bullying and having to hide under a desk on the floor And when he beat my mother it made me so mad I could choke And I didn't want to be like my old man I, I didn't even want to look like my old man I didn't even want to seem like my old man A son watches his father, being cruel to his mother and makes a vow to return only when He is so much richer, in every way so much bigger that - - the old man will never hit anyone again Like my old man (just like my old man) like my old man Like my old man (just like my old man) like my old man and can you believe what he said to me he said, "Lou, act like a man" (walk like a man) Why don't you act just like a man act like your daddy, act like a man (just like my old man) Oh, why don't you act just like a man like your old man (walk like a man) (Just like my old man) (Just like my old man) |

You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself
you know that I'm not seeing anyone else You just keep your ear down to the ground yell your head off if you hear a sound Here's a whistle, a badge and a phone you can arrest me if I'm not at home And if I don't keep my word I swear I'll keep away Here's some books and a puzzle by Escher here's Shakespeare's Measure For Measure Here's a balloon, a rubber band and a bag why don't you blow them up if you think you've been had Here's a castle, a paper dragon and a moat an earring, a toothbrush and a cloak And if I don't keep my word I swear I'll keep away I swear I'll keep away, from all we've ever done I'll keep away the good times, I'll keep away the fun I swear I'll join the army, or maybe the marines I'll start to wear designer suits and put away my jeans I swear that I'll keep away, from all my old-time friends I'll throw away my records, I'll try to make amends I swear I'll give up gambling, and playing with the rent I'll give up food and drinking, I'll give up a life ill-spent Here's a yardstick you can measure me by here's a coupon, maybe there's something you want to buy Here's a bandied in case you cut your feet here's a rubber mallet you can use on your front teeth Here's a gun no one uses anymore and a bracelet made of some expensive ore And if I don't keep my word you won't see me anymore I swear I'll keep away, from dignity and pride I'll keep away from abstracts, I'll keep it all inside Well, I'll just wrap me up in butter, and melt me on a shelf I'll fry in my own juices, I'll become somebody else Well, I'll just swear to keep away, from everything that's good I'll lie down in the gutter, where I really should I swear I'll light a candle, to every modern foe I swear I'll close the book on this, and not see you anymore 'cause I just got to get away |

Some people are into the power of power
The absolute corrupting power, that makes great men insane While some people find their refreshment in action The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors Growing up in public, growing up in public Growing up in public, growing up in public with your pants down Some people are into sadistic pleasures They whet their desires and drool in your ears They're quasi-effeminate characters in love with oral gratification They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears They're gonna do you in public, 'cause you're growing up in public They're gonna do it to you in public, 'cause you're growing up in public with your pants down Some people think being a man is unmanly Some people think that the whole concept's a joke But some people think being a man is the whole point And then some people wish they'd never awoke Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions Down to a size neither regal nor calm A prince hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct Caught in the middle with your pants down again Caught in the middle, I'm really caught in the middle I'm caught in the middle, caught in the middle deciding about you |

Smiles, I was taught never to smile
I was told the stylish smiles of buffoonery chicanery and larceny abound My mom said unless someone sticks you right in front of a camera a smile is the last thing that you wanna do Those smiles, those mirthless toothy smiles Smiles, they all smile on TV The quizmaster with his withered crones the talkshow hosting movie stars, the politician licking feet The mugger, the rapist, the arsonic lover all smile out from the news, at one time or another Those smiles, those garish sickly smiles When I was young my mother said to me never, ever, let anyone see that you're happy Smiles, never, ever let them see you smile they'll always put you down With those smiles, never, ever let them see you smile they'll always put you down With your smiles, never, ever let them see you smile don't you know they'll make you go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) |

Walking, he stared raptly at her face
On his lips, her smell, her taste Black hair framing her perfect face With her wonderful mind and her incredible grace And so, he woke, he woke her with a start To offer her his heart For once and for all, forever to keep And the words, that she first heard him speak Were really very sweet He was asking her to marry him, and to Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, why don't you think it over She said, "Somewhere, there's a faraway place Where all is ordered and all is grace No one there is ever disgraced And everyone there is wise And everyone has taste," And then she sighed, well La Dee Dah Dee Dah You and I have come quite far And we really must watch what we say Because when you ask for someone's heart You must know that you're smart Smart enough to care for it, so I'm gonna Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, I'm gonna think it over |

Legendary hearts tearing up apart with stories of their love their great transcendent loves While we stand here and fight and lose another night of legendary love Legendary loves haunt me in my sleep promises to keep I never should have made I can't live up to this I'm good for just a kiss not legendary love Romeo, oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo he's in a car or at a bar or churning his blood with an impure drug He's in the past and seemingly lost forever He worked hard at being good but his basic soul was stained not pure and when he took his bow no audience was clapping Legendary hearts tear us all apart make our emotions bleed crying out in need No legendary love is coming from above it's in this room right now And you've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to make what's right You've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to keep your legendary love |

A perfect day to get out of bed
shower, dress, shave, kiss you on the head Then I hit the office and my head starts to swim A perfect day to just walk around see a violent movie, check the sounds But even on the street when I hear a phone ring my heart starts to beat when I get home I don't want you to speak Don't talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt with work, with work How many dollars, how many sales how many liars, how many tales How many insults must you take in this one life I'm in prison most of the day so please excuse me, if I get this way But I have got obligations to keep so be very careful when you speak Don't talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt with work, with work Please don't talk to me about work don't you talk to me about work I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt with work, with work Don't talk to me about work don't you talk to me about work Don't you talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work Don't you talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work Don't you talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work Don't you talk to me about work please don't talk to me about work ... |
