FLAIR hey, hey, hey, what's your name? ain't going away I'm here to stay baby what's your game hey, what's your name? ain't going away I'm here to stay baby what's your game I want to tell you that I think I really need you / I love the way you comb your hair and the way you smear your makeup-makeup / the way you wear that inevitable flair I want to tell you that I think you're really groovy / maybe we could go to walgreens and a movie / and the way you smear your make-up make-up, maybe we could do a little shake-up shake-up… hey, what's your name? ain't going away I'm here to stay baby what's your game hey, what's your name? ain't going away I'm here to stay baby what's your game I want to tell you that I think I really need you / I love the way you comb your hair and the way you smear your makeup-makeup / the way you wear that inevitable flair don't let me down don't mess me round / don't let me down don't mess me round hey, hey, hey baby what's your name? |
HOLLOW TREE well…there’s a place in my hometown where we first met and played as kids / In the woods behind our houses filled with hills and fields and trees and we loved our hollow tree / on a boat dock plagued by disrepair at the lake where we first kissed / we were older not much wiser then still filled with innocence / we still loved our hollow tree why do we grow apart and not know what we miss? / warm, distant memories of stupid youthful bliss… and now I go back to that town my tree is gone and so are you took away so painfully by a plague I never knew still older not much wiser how I miss our hollow tree and I wish you could have known me better i’ll always have you but you’ll never know me (rpt.) well…still I go back to that town where we first met and we first kissed and I wish I could have known you better… why do we grow apart and not know what we miss? warm, distant memories of stupid youthful bliss i’ll always have you but you’ll never know me (rpt.) never know me |
SHANG RI LA over the mountains a beautiful city / you whisper to me "we could never afford it" just look in my eyes and I'll show you the meaning the voices are clear in the place I've been dreaming the place in my head, shang ri la we'll dig through the earth till we wind up in china / the devil might say that we never will find it / a gold shrouded highway will guide us I know it the voices are clear in the place I've been dreaming the place in my head, shang ri la, the place in my head, shang ri la too many times our dreams fall by the wayside / time after time they just fly so look in my eyes and together we'll die there / the place in my head shang ri la...the place in my head, shang ri la IT’S TRUE today I heard the news about you / it hurt cuz all along I knew / so now I'm telling everyone, now I'm telling everyone the news / it's true today I saw the truth in your eyes / it hurt cuz I believed your lies / and now there's next to nothing I can do / so now I'm telling everyone, now I'm telling everyone the news / it's true so don't be wrong and play along / and when you're lonely just be strong / baby, just be strong today I heard the news about you / it hurt cuz all along I knew / so now I'm telling everyone, now I'm telling everyone the news / it's true |

VANCOUVER you got a monkey on your back and it's got something to tell you you know your veering way off track and we're not sure what compels you your baby's gone away / she took the westbound plane / she's in vancouver in the rain there's only one thing you can do... you've got the devil on your shoulder and he whispers in your ear his suggestions getting bolder / his implications crystal clear your mommy's gone away / she took the heaven train / and you drink to hide the pain there's only one thing you can do / you gotta get over it your baby's gone away / she took the westbound plane / she's in vancouver in the rain there's only one thing you can do... you gotta get over it, you gotta get over it, you gotta get over it, yeah you got a monkey on your back and there's nothing left to say but you gotta get over it, yeah that's the only way |
INSIGNIFICANT we live, we die, no one seems to wonder why we’re all so insignificant the air we breathe it feeds a hundred million things i feel so insignificant tell me what it’s all about…something to be looking for something to allay my doubt…tell me what we’re living for you say you are a mega-superstar and you are so incredible you say you care you hundred-thousandaire but you are so invisible tell me what it’s all about…something to be looking for something to allay my doubt…tell me what we’re living for we live, we die, and still I wonder why we’re all so insignificant if god above could send me one great love i might not feel so insignificant |

HOUSE OF SABLE i'm living in a house of sable / a fur lined cave i'll be a good boy if I'm able / I'll be so brave to look you in the eye and tell you just what I think i'm just a man of fortune but I'm on the brink oh, house of sable well you've had your hard times brother you'll never know / how good you've really got it you've retained your soul i'm livin' in a house of sable but it's grown so cold while you hardly fill your table-but your heart is gold oh, house of sable i'm livin in a house of sable baby and I'm sitting on a velvet throne... |
SHINY NEW I called my friend's house every morning we played with our new toys everyday and we should have seen it as a warning- nothing that's so nice usually stays we wear it out or move about, it's true it was shiny new and precious too it meant the world to me and you wanted my first bike when I was seven it sat in a window down at the store all glittery blue and looking like heaven and when you saw it you let out a roar we wore it out and moved about, it's true it was shiny new and precious too it meant the world to me and you now I've got a good friend she's dying of cancer and I've got a good friend she died of old age I guess I'm just shallow I'm dying of loneliness but you have a baby the world can be saved she'll jump about and leap and shout, it's true she's shiny new and precious too she means the world to me and you |
OUTSIDE CHANCE even though we’re not together, you’re the one I call / when I’m sad or lonely - feelin’ bad or horny… and through all the stormy weather, summer, spring or fall, you’re the one I think of - on the lonely brink of… and like a hurricane am I blowin’ everything I have ever dreamed of late at night I’ll sit and wonder if we’re really through / i’ll recall the good times and make small the bad times… and though we were rent asunder / one thought still rings true you’re the one I think of – on the lonely brink of… and like a hurricane am I blowin’ / everything I have ever wanted – or needed and on the outside chance that you were meant for me-some things just ain’t meant to be. even though we’re not together, you’re the one I call, when I’m sad or lonely - feelin’ bad or horny… and through all the stormy weather, summer, spring or fall, you’re the one I think of - on the lonely brink of… and like a hurricane am I blowin’ everything I have ever wanted or dreamed of… and on the outside chance that you were meant for me- guess we’ll have to wait and see… |

JUST AINT ENUFF i saw the man and felt like crying / his brother lay beside him dying- sad, so sad and have you ever had the feeling / the kind that sets your heart a reeling, glad, so glad sometimes I'm feeling like we've all been had hold me for the rest of your life, hold me don't drag your wheels with your heart on your heels if you can't make a wish to be glad don't drag your wheels raise a hand help to heal - don't be sad it just aint enuff to be mad just when you feel a part of something and then it all turns into nothing- sad, so sad and if you lose your one and only there's not much worse than being lonely- bad, so bad sometimes I'm feeling like we've all been had hold me for the rest of your life, hold me don't drag your wheels with your heart on your heels if you can't make a wish to be glad don't drag your wheels raise a hand help to heal - don't be sad it just aint enuff to be mad…to be mad... |
DESDEMONA you said you were leaving on a long trip / and sadly i asked you where you'd go you said you were flying your new spaceship / andromeda stars your new home you said you were leaving in the morning when all of the stars were in line you said you could use a companion / have stars in our eyes for all time all i wanted was to be with you- all I wanted was to be with you I smiled to myself at your whimsy but went right along with your plan but you didn't lie about your spaceship, and now i'm one fucked up starbound man- yes I am we'll fly away together / we'll fly into the sun / we'll find the secret of the planets god, I hope we brought a gun you said that the stars they would guide us but you didn't even have a clue reality hit me like a black hole / what the hell have i gotten myself into all i wanted was to be with you- all i wanted was to be with you tell me where we're going baby / you might just drive me crazy desdemona find our way back home- our way back home! |
