sunshine dreams
golden amber beams
wind kisses your hair
love is everywhere
let's take a trip to that lake
lagoa da vela
i know you'd love that place
sadaude! estou apaxionado!
sunshine dreams
rainbow colored streams
hearts open to life
won't you be my wife?
let's take a trip to the desert
rub' al khali
that's where we first fell in love
ya'aburnee!
oh, what a life!
knowing we will never be one
(we will never be one)
i'll still try to get to know you
(but i'll try to get to know you)
as long as i see the sun
(until my time is done)
let's take a trip back home
just me and you
we'll fall back into bed
we'll fall back into...
sunshine dreams
meeting at the seems
everything is one
love has just begun

penny, dearest penny
what's the matter?
tears are falling into your ice cream
let's go outside
let's take a ride
and when you're better we'll try again
just because the life inside you has died
our love will survive
penny dearest, penny
what's the matter?
won't you put down those tiny clothes
let's take a walk
let's have a talk
in a way i'm relieved it didn't work
just because the life inside you has died
our love will survive
it's for the best cause i wasn't ready
us being parents just seemed so crazy
now we can just love one another
live our lives just for each other
penny dearest, penny
just because the life inside you has died
our love will survive

uncle ciggy the summertime crooner
i saw him a couple weeks ago
second leg of the tour
oh man, what a show!
uncle ciggy and his rock roll band
make their way across the heartland
he ain't ever going back home
his life is on the road
his family gave up long ago
the man they loved is no more
he's uncle ciggy the summertime crooner
he played the hits
from every disc
two encores, i caught the drum sticks!
uncle ciggy and his rock roll band
another tour across this land
his daughter misses pa
he misses her and her ma
he eases our heartaches
the kind he lives with every day
he ain't ever going back home
his life is on the road
his family gave up long ago
the man they loved is no more
he's uncle ciggy the summertime crooner

grey tuesday here in LA
and everything is fine
everything is great!
i've got a date with fortune and fame
you know my outfit's tight, my future's so bright!
i’ll find myself on the venice boardwalk
looking up at the passersby
feeling sorry for the passersby
but i know they’ll be fine
grey tuesday here in LA
and everything is fine
everything’s the same!
if i want a j
i’ll go smoke a j
and then pass out in the street
piss my pleated jeans
i’ll find myself on the standard rooftop
looking down at the streets below
feeling sorry for the people below
but i know they’ll be fine
no one ever makes it In this godforsaken place
but i know that i will — i'm the exception — just look at this face!
grey tuesday here in LA
and everything is fine
everything’s ok
if i want some h
i'll go find some h
miss opportunities
but i'm so skinny!
i’ll find myself on the hollywood hills
looking down at the city below
feeling sorry for the people below
but i know they’ll be fine.
grey tuesday and everything's great!
this whole city's my runway
this whole city's my scene
and i know i'll be famous
i'll be a celebrity

it was only after...

i loved a girl with red hair
wish i remembered her name
wish i knew her still
i didn't love her when i had her
it was only after...
and now she don't love me
it wasn't meant to be
we're born alone
we die alone
it's a lonely life
it's a lonely world
i loved a girl with green eyes
she made me want to sing
she made me want to try
i didn't love her when i had her
it was only after...
now she's gone away
i didn't have a say
we're born alone
we die alone
it's a lonely life
it's a lonely world
take your chances if you'd like
you didn't ask for this life
keeping promises to be
a better person, maybe happy
we're born alone
we die alone
it's a lonely life
it's a lonely world

mystery train
03:06
|
|||
|
she was far too young to be wearing a black veil
she wanted to rip it off but she caught the lord's stare
grandfather sat, put a hand upon her knee
said, "darling isabelle, one day you will see
the lord works in mysterious ways
you just have to trust, believe, and pray"
she left the wake. she wanted to be alone
walked down the streets they once both had known
each passing tree redolent of his face
each passing thought a reflection on his grace
she saw the train station, a train leaving soon
so she hopped aboard, she didn't care where it was going to
they said, "he's in a better place"
she wished they hadn't had to say anything
they asked, "if she needed anything?"
she wished they hadn't had to ask anything
and she road that mystery train
taking her away
out to somewhere
away from this pain
they said, "he's in a better place"
she wished they hadn't had to say anything
they asked, "if she needed anything?"
she wished they hadn't had to ask anything
the lord works in mysterious ways
you just have to trust, believe, and pray

mamacita! mademoiselle!
can you see that singing belle?
flames of love danced in my mind
illuminated by her sight
and when i first heard her call
i made the boys stop and listen
one and all
(listen up boys!)
never sweeter has one sung
take us in her direction!
and tell me why, lorelei
why did you kill us, lorelei?
the fairest maiden with fairer hair
from the cliff i met her tempting stare
she beckoned me with a wave of her hand
as our boat raced towards the land
and when i first heard her call
i made the boys stop and listen
one and all
(listen up boys!)
never sweeter has one sung
take us in her direction!
and tell me why, lorelei
why did you kill us, lorelei?
our boat smashed upon a hidden ridge
the men were thrown, tossed adrift
i cursed the fates for doing this
now i would never know your kiss
and when i first heard her call
i made the boys stop and listen
one and all
(listen up boys!)
never sweeter has one sung
take us in her direction!
and tell me why, lorelei
why did you kill us, lorelei?

illogical love
03:15

she's so pretty
but she's not crazy enough for me
she's so witty
but she's not crazy enough for me
i guess i want to destroy myself
i guess i have to hurt myself
romantics all doomed to fall...
she's so charming
but she's not careless enough for me
she's so darling
but she's not careless enough for me
i guess i want to destroy myself
i guess i have to hurt myself
romantics all doomed to fall...
all i need is an illogical love!
she's so pleasing
but she's not selfish enough for me
she's so appealing
but she's too damn perfect for me
i guess i want to destroy myself
i guess i have to hurt myself
romantics all doomed to fall...
all i need is an illogical love!
an illogical love!
a senseless love, nonsensical love
detestable love, regrettable love
indefensible love, undependable love
forgettable love, upsettable love

all the trees show signs of decay
while the boys play their war games
marching forward
proud nonetheless
are our souls long past worth saving?
forgot that love could maybe change things
mother cries
her heart an open grave
didn’t even get to say goodbye
see that angel came down from heaven?
with the payload that we’ve been forgetting
can you say
you've had a good run?
didn’t know it had been decided
aren’t we glad we don’t have to fight it?
indolent monkeys
meek as always
didn’t even get to say goodbye

they're all rosies
03:57
|
|||
|
it seems you’ve met a rosie
she’s just another girl
she’s bound to break your heart
she’s bound to steal your soul
your father met a rosie
your mother was she
they consummated their love
that’s how you came to be
drinking grapes after dark in a subway or a park with a rosie
throw the champagne out the bed sharing sweet love instead with a rosie
and what’s the difference anyway?
i don’t think they’re all the same
even if… they’re all rosies!
she’s just another rosie
she’s just another girl
she’s meant to bring you down
she’s meant to wreck your world
your father had a rosie
until she went away
leaving him with nothing
but loneliness and pain
sending cares to the wind, sharing lips and sins with a rosie
throwing clothes on the floor, never worry, close the door with a rosie
and whats the difference anyway?
i don’t think they’re all the same
even if… they're all roses
i don’t care pa what you say
i love rosie and she loves me
just because it didn’t work out for you
doesn’t mean our loves not true
i don’t care pa what you say
me and rosie are going away
just because it didn’t work out for you, i know rosie loves me and i… rosie? rosie?

ain't it funny?
03:17
|

baby, i care for you
or at least i used to
oh yeah
but now you’re making me so blue
not the color, the feeling — don’t get confused
oh what do i do?
i wish i could get back to green
like the springtime, an afternoon dream
oh yeah!
baby, i used to like to spend my time with you
in fact its the only thing i ever wanted to do
but now i sit around and wait
just to find a lover, i’ll one day love to hate
i thought i could smoke all the cigarettes in the world
with you, yeah you!
aint it funny how love means to fuck you?
baby, i used to love all the games you’d play
putting holes in my heart every day
but now i miss those parts of me
that disappeared, went with your company
i feel like i set my sights just on you
and now that you’re gone
my heart refused to move on too
aint it funny how love means to fuck you?
i don’t want another i just want you
i’m fucking up my life just for you
when i see another girl i think of you
i know i fucked myself but you fucked me too
ain’t it funny how love means to fuck you?

dave, when are you coming home?
davey boy, mother's pride and joy
last thing she heard him say was
"dave quesadilla, damn pleased to meet ya"
he joined the core to fight the war
fights for freedom, fights for yours
dave quesadilla, when will we see ya?
he was a damn good son
he was a patriot
dave, when are you coming home?
he drove the tanks, rose the ranks
made his men into better men
dave quesadilla -- our finest leader
sarge had said that he's got the head
dave didn't fear anything
dave quesadilla, when will we see ya?
he was a damn good son
he was a patriot
on patrol in a real hellhole
grenade tossed, landed on the floor
davey boy gave his life
but he saved our souls!
he was a damn good son
he was a patriot
dave, when are you coming home?
the men knocked, his mother stopped
a flag pressed, a small box
dave quesadilla -- a hero for real
mother cried, she wondered why
god had let her dear boy die
dave quesadilla, when will we see ya?
he was a damn good son
he was a patriot

staring at a face
10 miles wide
looking for a place
somewhere to hide
lost my mind in texas
strange since i’ve never been
heard on the news
it had happened again
12 men shot
5 men dropped
more bullets on the floor
oh no no
marching cops
filling blocks
meeting in the streets just to mourn
oh when will it stop?
another mother gone
when will it stop?
another father gone
when will it stop?
another child gone
have we had enough?
when will it stop?
have we had enough?
of feeling hate
never love
getting sick of
seeing blood
despise ourselves
in spite of our ourselves
we can’t give up
on peace and love
don't give up
(on peace and love)
never give up
(on peace and love)
oh when will it stop?
another sister gone
when will it stop?
another brother gone
when will it stop?
another child gone
have we had enough?
when will it stop?
have we had enough?
of taking lives
helpless cries
the cutting knife
only divides
we can choose
to make it right
but we can’t give up
on peace and love
don't give up
(on peace and love)
never give up
(on peace and love)

damn bird woke me up this morning
shrieking slurs at a quarter to five
well, i hate to say i thought about
setting that bird free
knowing very well, that he would probably die!
i’ve got a date set for this evening
with a girl that i’m sure to meet today
and i bet that it goes lovely
because man she’ll be so lovely
we’ll fall in love and be married in may!
my, oh my
how time flies
when all you do is fantasize
about changing everything in your life
i saw a cat playing in the parlor
singing my songs better than i ever could
so i gave him a nickel
then a scratch, a little tickle
and i said i guess you’re my new best friend!
well, me and cat set out for providence
selling artisan crafted balls of string
and i know that we’ll be fortunate
successful, men of means
selling strings for bows to the indians on mars!
my, oh my
how time flies
when all you do is fantasize
about changing everything in your life
is it wrong to dream?!
(depends on the dream)
is it wrong to make believe?!
(why do you need to make believe?)
if everything that’s real, ain’t real to me
if escaping from my life can set me free?
then all you can do is fantasize
about changing everything in your life
