It's just a look, and it makes the boys quiver
Yes, it's the look, and now they remember Had they forgotten...what this all means? I think they want to forget And they hope that this time (Chorus) I won't look, I've got other things to do now I forgot what it was, I've got to get to work now (And they) set an example for us (I see it!) It can happen to me too (And it) didn't make any difference to us (But I) Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble With our love, With our love, With our love They hear the words, such as "You're really special" (And they) can't face that feeling (And they) can't really tell I look out the window (And I) I call that education (And I) see all my friends standing out there (And I) I call that education (sophistication) (Repeat chorus) Had they forgotten...what this all means? Things come and go (and I see 'em) And I won't be neglected (not this time!) (Repeat chorus) |

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best An' I'm startin' over.. I'm startin' over in another place Lemme tell you a story Big chief with a golden crown He's got rings on his fingers And then he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands An' don't choo dare sit back Now don't choo dare sit down And don't choo dare speak up! And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh who could've asked for more? And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do Ooh what a day that was. There are 50,000 beggars Roaming in the streets They have lost all their possessions They have nothing left to eat Down come a bolt of lightning Start an electrical storm Starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I'm dreaming of a city It was my own invention I put the wheels in motion A time for big decisions And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else at all Ooh what a day that was. Oh a day that was Ooh that's the way it goes There's a million ways- to get things done There's a million ways- to make things work out. Well I'm going right through And the light came down Well they're roundin' 'em up from all over town They're movin' forward and backwards They're movin' backwards and front And they're enjoying themselves Moving in ev'ry direction And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who know the difference between right and wrong And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was. (We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live And in a great big room and That's the way we live.) x3 |

Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me around I feel numb - burn with a weak heart (So I) guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's okay I know nothing's wrong . . nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - -she lifted up her wings Guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be . . . where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh |

Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and
smiled. You might think she would say something, but you'd have to wait a while. Well the lady don't mind. No, no, no, the lady don't mind She just turns her head and disappears, I kinda like that style Little boat that floats on a river, it's drifting through a haze She stops by whenever she wants to, well, there she goes again Well, it's no trouble at all. No, no, no trouble at all Well, what she does is all right with me, and I kinda like that style Come on. come on. I go up and down. I like this curious feeling. I know, I see. It's like make believe. Cover your ears so you can hear what I'm saying. I'm not lost but I don't know Where I am. I got a question. All right. All right. This is what we like. Who knows, who knows, What I'm thinking She says love is not what she's after, and everyone knows. Each time she looks in the mirror, she lets her feelings show. Well, the lady don't mind No, no, no, the lady don't mind. Well, what she says is all right by me, and I kinda like that style Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Here we go again I don't know, I don't know, What I'm sayin'. Hey man. Hey man. I sure don't feel the same She likes to say what she's feeling Hey. Did I get a big surprise. I know you think so. Come on. Come on. She says anything. Who knows, who knows, what she's thinking. |

I will fight, will fight with my heart
I will fight, will fight with understanding In my mind the weather never changes Skill overcomes unfavorable conditions A straight line exists between me and the good thing I have found the line and its direction is known to me Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good thing Try to compare what I am presenting You will meet with much frustration Try to find...similar situation You will always find the same solution As the heart finds the good thing, the feeling is multiplied Add the will to the strength, and it equals conviction As we economize, efficiency is multiplied To the extent I am determined the result is the good thing So I say: I have adopted this and made it my own Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong |

I see the shapes,
I remember from maps. I see the shoreline. I see the whitecaps. A baseball diamond, nice weather down there. I see the school and the houses where the kids are. Places to park by the fac'tries and buildings. Restaunts and bar for later in the evening. Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas. And I have learned how these things work together. I see the parkway that passes through them all. And I have learned how to look at these things and I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me. I couldn't live like that, no siree! I couldn't do the things the way those people do. I couldn't live there if you paid me to. I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean. I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends. Look at that kitchen and all of that food. Look at them eat it' guess it tastes real good. They grow it in the farmlands And they take it to the stores They put it in the car trunk And they bring it back home And I say ... I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me. I couldn't live like that, no siree! I couldn't do the things the way those people do. I wouldn't live there if you paid me to. I'm tired of looking out the windows of the airplane I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere. It's not even worth talking About those people down there. Goo Goo Ga Ga Ga Goo Goo Ga Ga Ga |

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so.... Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose... Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead. He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people....They had also molded their faced according to some ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear- ance....This is why first impressions are often correct... Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them.... They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way there, and then changed their minds. He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake. |

Wilder than the place we live in I'll take you there, I'll take you there And I don't mind some slight disorder Pull up the roots, pull up the roots And no more time for talkin' it over Pull up the roots, pull up the roots Well I have a good time When I go out of my mind And it's a wonderful place And I can't wait to be there And I hear beautiful sounds Comin' outta the ground Someone musta been high But I guess it's all right |

But I don't know where it is Where it is Well, I know where it is But I don't know what it looks like What it looks like Well, I know what it looks like, But I don't know where she comes from Well, I know where she comes from, But I don't know what's her name. (and she said) This is a perfect world I'm riding on an incline I'm staring in your face You'll photograph mine And I've been walking, talking Believing the things that are true And I've been finding The difference between right and wrong...good and bad See me put things together Put them back where they belong Am I just like the others Have I always been singing the same song CHORUS Somebody said that it happens all over the world I do believe that it's true And the sun's coming up And we're doing all the things that we should Doesn't everbody here believe in the things we do? (And she said) CHORUS It's a strange situation What's wrong with you? Baby...baby...baby What you doing in my house? And it's all true There's nothing wrong with you (And I said) CHORUS |

God laughs at people like us I see it coming Like coming down from above The clouds roll by and the moon comes up How long must we live in the heat of the sun Millions of people are waitin' on love And this is a song about people like us People like us (Who answe the telephone) People like us (Growing big as a house) People like us (Gonna make it because) We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love.

I think you take it...a little too far It's...not so cool to have so many problems But don't expect me to explain your indecisions Go...talk to your analyst, isn't that what they're paid for You walk, you talk...You still function like you used to It's not a question...Of your personality or style Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good In a world where people have problems In this world where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time (Here we go again) |

So take your hands out of your pockets And get your face adjusted I heard it, somebody lied And I'm staring out the window Gonna let this thing continue In its natural time Round heads, square heads Get settled in You can hear my belly rumble There's a voice that starts to mumble Woo! It's starting to sing Protons, neutrons I ate a rock from the moon Got shocked once, shocked twice Let's see what it can do Man in the moon, moon in the man I got a rock in my throat Upside, upside down My tummy starts to talk...(What it say?) Gonna rock it till I shock it Gonna kick it till I drop it Woo! Love at first sight You can kick it, you can poke it Ooh, I think you broke it What about that? Skin from a snake, blood from a stone You know that ain't no lie I got hundreds of expressions Try to make a good impression Woo! Right between the eyes I don't mind--let me go I don't mind--I don't know Let me be--why not stay I feel numb--let me play I got wild imagination Talkin' transubstantiation Any version will do I got mass communication I'm the human corporation I ate a rock from the moon Moon in the rock, rock in the moon There's a moon in my throat You might think I'm wasting time You might laugh, but not for long Hey!

Money won't change you I haven't got the faintest idea Everything seems to be up in the air at this time I need something you change your mind Drugs won't change you Religion won't change you (What's the matter with you?) I haven't got the faintest idea Everything seems to be up in the air at this time I need something you change your mind Science won't change you Looks like I can't change you I try to talk to you, to make things clear but you're not even listening to me... And it comes directly from my heart to you... I need something to change your mind. |

Do you remember anyone here?
No, you don't remember anything at all I'm sleeping, I'm flat on my back Never woke up, had no regrets There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops There's a party up there all the time They'll party till they drop Other people can go home Everybody else can split I'll be here all the time I can never quit Take a walk through the land of shadows Take a walk through the peaceful meadows Don't look so disappointed It isn't what you hoped for, is it? There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops I'm stuck here in this seat I might not stand up Other people can go home Other people may go split I'll be here all the time I can never quit Everything is very quiet Everyone has gone to sleep I'm wide awake on memories These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait These memories can't wait |

Nothing can come between us
Nothing gets you down Nothing strikes your fancy Nothing turns you on You don't have to wait for more instructions No one makes a monkey out of me We lie on our backs, feet in the air Rest and relaxation rocket to my brain Snap into position Bounce till you ache Step out of line (and) You end up in jail Bring me a doctor I have a hole in my head They are just people And I'm not afraid Doctor, doctor We have nothing in our pockets We continue But we have nothing left to offer Faces pressed against the window Hey...they are just my friends Check this out, don't be so slick Break our backs, it goes like this We are born without eyesight We are born without sin And our mama protects us From the cold and the rain We're in no hurry Sugar and spice We sing in the darkness We open our eyes (Open up) I can't believe it And people are strange Our president's crazy Did you hear what he said? Business and pleasure Lie right to your face Divide it in sections And give it away Well, there are no big secrets Don't believe what you read We have great big bodies We got great big heads Run--a, run--a, run it all together Check it out Still don't make no sense Makin' flippy floppy Tryin' to do my best Lock the door We kill the beast Kill it! |

Guess I grew up too fast And I forgot my name We're in cities at night and we got time on our hands. So leave the driving to us. And it's the real thing. And you're rolling In the blender With me. And I can love you Like a color TV. Now love is here C'mon and try it I got love for sale Got love for sale And now love is here C'mon and try it Got love for sale, Got love for sale. You can put your lipstick all over my designer jeans. I'll be a video for you. If you turn my dial. You can cash my check if you go down to the bank You get two for one For a limited time. Push my button... The toast pops up Love and money Gettin' all Mixed upu And now love is here C'mon and try it. I got love for sale Got love for sale Love is here C'mon and try it I got love for sale I got Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love |

Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came He sees the foreigners in growing numbers He sees the foreigners in fancy houses He thinks of days that he can still remember...now. Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands Mojique sends the package to the American man Softly he glides along the streets and alleys Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover He feels the time is surely now or never...more. The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart (Come to) Drive them away Drive them away. The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart (Come to) Drive them away. Drive them away. Mojique buys equipment in the market place Mojique plants devices in the free trade zone He feels the wind is lifting up his people He calls the wind to guide him on his mission He knows his friend the wind is always standing...by. Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away Mojique waits for news in a quiet place He feels the presence of the wind around him He feels the power of the past behind him He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on. The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart (Come to) Drive them away Drive them away. |

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go Heard of some grave sites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, couple of visas Don't even know my real name High on a hillside trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? why go to night school? Gonna be different this time? Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard I can't write nothing at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines I know that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now Don't know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive |

...Pretty!
What is? Brand new? Well that's not the way I think of you. You'll touch me, in a minute; but that's not what I want to do. We are two strangers, We might never have met. We can talk forever, I understand what you said. But I'm...no in love. What does it take to fall in love? Do people really fall in love? ...Happy! Is there time for this? Is this responsibility? Girl time, boy time, is that the difference between me and you? I won't ask any questions, Who needs to make a new start? I choose to believe you, I said before that I can't. ...'Cause I'm not in love. What does it take to fall in love? Why would I want to fall in love? ...Feeling! Take it easy baby...Don't let your feelings get in the way. Some day, I believe, we can live in a world without love. I can answer your questions, If you won't twist what I say. Please respect my opinions, They will be respected some day. Because we don't need love. I believe that we don't need love. There'll come a day when we won't need love. |

Never get to say much, never get to talk Tell us a little bit, but not too much Right about then, is where she give up She has closed her eyes, she has give up hope I'm walking a line-I hate to be dreaming in motion I'm walking a line-Just barely enough to be living Get outa the way-No time to begin This isn't the time-So nothing was done Not talking about-Not many at all I'm turning around-No trouble at all I'm keeping my fingers behind me, 'hind me I'm walking a line-Divide and dissolve.

In...my...sensations
I believe that I...was Born with the things that I know I want...to talk... Like ev'ry Before I decide what to do And I fell all over and I Couldn't stand up I can't be critical I can't won't stop Such a happy day For me Bring a happy day To me Send a happy day To me And a happy day Came to me come to me here it come... I'm...only...looking Feel like my heart Has a will of it's own I feel...feel nice inside Right here And now it's...summer again The story that I told The story I made up I was foolin' around but I Can't won't stop Such a happy day For me Bring a happy day To me Send a happy day To me And a happy day Come to me, come to me, here it come... This...boy...is in motion Some density Moved right beside me I want My sentence Right here But now I'm far away A sign was given but Many years have passed Cost a little bit to love you but I Won't can't stop Such a happy day For me Bring a happy day To me Send a happy day To me And a happy day Came to me come to me here it come... It's alright |

There's a word for it
And words don't mean a thing There's name for it And names make all the difference in the world Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Let X make a statement Let breath pass through those cracked lips That man was my hero And now that word has been taken from us Some things can never be spoken Some things cannot be pronounced That word does not exist in any language It will never be uttered by a human mouth Give me back my name Give me back my name Something has been changed in my life Something has been changed in my life Something must be returned to us Something must me returned to us |

I . . . Who took the money?
Who took the money away? I . . . It's always showtime Here at the edge of the stage I, I, I, wake up and wonder What was the place, what was the name? We wanna wait, but here we go again... I . . . takes over slowly But doesn't last very long I . . . no need to worry Evr'ything's under control O - U - T But no hard feelings What do you know? Take you away We're being taken for a ride again I got a girlfriend that's better than that She has the smoke in her eyes She's moving up, going right through my house She's ginna give me surprise Better than this, know that It's right I think you can if you like I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair And nothing is better than that Down, down in the basement We hear the sound of machines I, I, I'm driving in circles Come to my senses sometimes Why, why, why, why start it over? Nothing was lost, everthing's free I don't care how impossible it seems Somebody calls you but you cannot hear Get closer to be far away Only one look and that's all that we need Maybe that's all that it takes All that it takes, all that it takes All that it takes, all that it takes I got a girlfriend that's betther than that And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...) I got a girlfriend that's better than that Now everyone's getting involved She's moving up going right through my heart We might not ever get caught Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying cool I got a girlfriend that's better than that And nothing is better than you I got a girlfriend thats better that this And you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense I got a girlfriend that's better than that And nothing is better that this ( is it? ) |

Damn that television ... what a bad picture!
"Don't get upset, It's not a major disaster". "There's nothing on tonight", he said, "I don't know what's the matter"! "Nothing's ever on", she said, "so ... I don't know why you bother." We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times. People fighting over little things and wasting precious time. They might be better off ... I thing ... the way it seems to me. Making up their own shows, which might be better than T.V. (CHORUS) Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations. Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations. They've enlisted all their family. They've enlisted all their friends. It helped saved their relationship, And made it work again ... Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit. There might even be a spinoff, but they're not sure 'bout that. If they ever watch T.V. again, it'd be too soon for them. Bob never yells about the picture now, he's having too much fun. (CHORUS) Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations, Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations. They've enlisted all their family. They've enlisted all their friends. It helped save their relationship, And made it work again ... So think about this little scene; apply it to you life. If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right. Just look at Bob and Judy; they're happy as can be, Inventinting situations, putting them on T.V. (CHORUS) Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations. Dod is on the street today, scouting up locations. They've enlisting all their family. They've enlisted all their friends. It helped save the relationship, And made it work again ... |

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared, some are spots Feel like a murder but that's alright Somebody said there's too much light Pull down that shade and it's alright It'll be over in a minute or two I'm charged up, don't put me down Don't feel like talking, don't mess around I feel mean, but I feel okay I'm charged up, electricity Is that what you calling The boys are making a big mess This makes the girls all start to laugh I don't know what they're talking about The boys are worried, the girls are shocked They pick the sound and let it drop Nobody knows what they're talking about I'm charged up, [Incomprehensible] Don't tell the truth, I just tell lies I'm picking up, but I left off I'm charged up, it's pretty intense I'm charged up, don't put me down Don't feel like talking, don't mess around And I feel mean, I feel okay I'm charged up, electricity That's right, [Incomprehensible] |
