New Killer Star
|

See the great white scar Over Battery Park Then a flare glides over But I won't look at that scar Oh my nuclear baby Oh my idiot trance All my idiot questions Let's face the music and dance Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you All the corners of the buildings Who but we remember these The sidewalks and trees I'm thinking now I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way A new killer star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way The stars in your eyes I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go See my life in a comic Like the way they did the Bible With the bubbles and action The little details in color First a horseback bomber Just a small thin chance Like seeing Jesus on Dateline Let's face the music and dance Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you All the corners of the buildings Who but we remember these The sidewalks and trees I'm thinking now I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way A new killer star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way The stars in your eyes I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way Ooh ooh I got a better way Ready, set, go |

Pablo Picasso

Well some people try to pick up girls And get called assholes This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare and So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Well the girls would turn the color Of the avocado when he would drive Down their street in his El Dorado He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not like you Alright Well he was only 5'3" But girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not in New York Oh well be not schmuck, be not obnoxious, Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole Remember the story of Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Alright this is it Some people try to pick up girls And they get called an asshole This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare and so Pablo Picasso was never called... |

Never Get Old
|
|
Better take care I think I better go, I better get a room Better take care of me Again and again I think about this and I think about personal history Better take care I breathe so deep when the movie gets real When the star turns round Again and again He looks me in the eye says he's got his mind on a countdown 3, 2, 1 Forever I'm screaming that I'm gonna be living on till the end of time Forever The sky splits open to a dull red skull And my head hangs low 'cause it's all over now And there's never gonna be enough money And there's never gonna be enough drugs And I'm never ever gonna get old There's never gonna be enough bullets There's never gonna be enough sex And I'm never ever gonna get old So I'm never ever gonna get high And I'm never ever gonna get low And I'm never ever gonna get old Better take care The moon flows on to the edges of the world because of you Again and again And I'm awake in an age of light living it because of you Better take care I'm looking at the future solid as a rock because of you Again and again want to be here and I want to be there Living just like you, living just like me Forever Putting on my gloves and bury my bones in the marshland Forever Think about my soul but I don't need a thing just the ring of the bell in the pure clean air And I'm running down the street of life And I'm never gonna let you die And I'm never ever gonna get old And I'm never ever gonna get I'm never ever gonna get I'm never ever gonna get old And I'm never ever gonna get And I'm never ever gonna get Never ever gonna get old |

The Loneliest Guy
|
|
Streets damp and warm Empty smell metal Weeds between buildings Pictures on my hard drive But I'm the luckiest guy Not the loneliest guy Steam under floor Shards by the mirrors frame Clouds green and low No sign, no nothing now But I'm the luckiest guy Not the loneliest guy All the pages that have turned All the errors left unlearned, oh Well I'm the luckiest guy Not the loneliest guy In the world Not me Not me |

Looking for Water
|
|
Silver leaves are spinning round Take my hand as we go down and down and down Looking for water But I lost God in a New York minute Don't know about you but my heart's not in it (Looking looking looking) I'm looking for water I'm looking for water (Looking looking looking) I can't breathe the air Can't raise the fight 'Cause all we've got left is a beat in the night And I'm Looking for water Looking for water Looking for water Looking looking Take my hand as we go down and down Leave it all behind nothing will be found I'm looking for water I'm looking for water Looking for water (Looking looking) I'm looking for water Looking everywhere Looking for water Looking here and there I'm looking for water I'm looking for water Looking for water (Looking looking) I can't live in this cage I can't eat this candy To the ends of the Earth To this pain in my head The look in your eyes That never means never The dawns early light Baby dumb is forever (Looking looking) (Looking looking) Looking for water (Looking looking) I'm looking for water |

She'll Drive the Big Car
|
|
She waited by the moon She was sick with fear and cold She felt too old for all of this Of course she never showed She lugged her suitcase to the bus Melted home through the snow North along riverside She slips beneath the sheets A husbands quiet devoted wife But strangers sad and nervous By the dawns early light Loves lies like a dead cloud On a shabby, yellow lawn Up on riverside She'll drive the big car He'll sit behind She'll keep an eye on Jessica South along the Hudson She'll turn the radio high Find a station playing sad, sad soul Just a little bit louder now South along the Hudson yea Just a little bit faster now Just a little bit louder now Just a little bit angry now South along the Hudson, yea And she'll drive the big car And talk herself insane Just a little bit louder now Just a little bit angry now Way back when Millennium Meant racing to the light He promised her a dream-life He'd take her back to street-life Away from violent water With its Cormorants and leaves Up on riverside She'll drive the big car But he'll sit behind Bursting her bubbles of Ludlow and Grand South along the Hudson She'll turn the radio way up high Find a station playing sad, sad soul Just a little bit louder now South along the Hudson Just a little bit faster now Just a little bit louder now Just a little bit angry now South along the Hudson, yea Just a little bit faster now Just a little bit louder now Just a little bit angry now South along the Hudson, yea She'll drive the big car He'll sit behind She'll keep an eye on Jessica Just a little bit faster now Just a little bit faster now |

Days

Hold me tight Keep me cool Going mad Don't know what to do Do I need a friend? Well, I need one now All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you All I've done I've done for me All you gave You gave for free I gave nothing in return And there's little left of me All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you In red-eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again My crazy brain in tangles Pleading for your gentle voice Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you All the days of my life All the days of my life All the days I owe you |

Fall Dog Bombs the Moon
|
|
Hope little girl Come blow me away I don't care much I win anyway Just a dog I'm God damn rich An exploding man When I talk in the night There's oil on my hands What a dog Fall dog is cruel and smart Smart time breaks the heart Fall dog bombs the moon Devil in a market place Devil in your bleeding face Fall dog bombs the moon What a dog There's always a moron Someone to hate A corporate tie A wig and a date Just a dog These blackest of years That have no sound No shape, no depth No underground What a dog Fall dog is cruel and smart Smart time breaks the heart Fall dog bombs the moon A devil in a market place A devil in your bleeding face Fall dog bombs the moon What a dog |

Try Some, Buy Some
|
|
Way back in time Someone said try some I tried some Now buy some - I bought some... Oh oh oh After a while When I had tried them Denied them I opened my eyes and I saw you... Not a thing did I have Not a thing did I see 'till I called on your love And your love came to me Through my life I've seen gray sky Met big fry, Seen them die to get high... Oh oh oh And when it seemed that I would Always be lonely I opened my eyes and I saw you Not a thing did I feel Not a thing did I know 'till I called on your love And your love sure did grow Won't you try some Baby won't you buy some Won't you try some Baby won't you buy some |

Reality

Tragic youth was looking young and sexy The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief The tragic youth was going down on me And I swear Woo hoo Yes I swear I built a wall of sound to separate us And hid among the junk of wretched highs I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha Struggling for reality Ha ha ha ha Woo hoo Ha ha ha ha Whoo hoo Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight Da da da da da da da da da Now my death is more than just a sad song Da da da da da da da da da And I swear Woo hoo Yes I swear Woo hoo I still don't remember how this happened I still don't get the wherefores and the whys I look for sense but I get next to nothing Hey boy welcome to reality Ha ha ha ha Woo hoo I've been right and I've been wrong Now I'm back where I started from Never looked over reality's shoulder Ha ha ha ha Huh ha ha ha Woo hoo |

Bring Me the Disco King
|
|
You promised me the ending would be clear You'd let me know when the time was now Don't let me know when you're opening the door Stab me in the dark, let me disappear Memories that flutter like bats out of hell Stab you from the city spires Life wasn't worth the balance Or the crumpled paper it was written on Don't let me know we're invisible Don't let me know we're invisible Hot cash days that you trailed around Cold cold nights under chrome and glass Led me down river of perfumed limbs Sent me to the streets with the good time girls Don't let me know we're invisible Don't let me know we're invisible We could dance, dance, dance through' the fire Dance, dance, dance through' the fire Feed me no lies I don't know about you, I don't know about you Breathe through the years I don't know about you, I don't know about you Bring me the disco king I don't know about you, I don't know about you Dead or alive, bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king Spin-offs with those who slept like corpses Damp morning rays in the stiff bad clubs Killing time in the '70s Smelling of love through the moist winds Don't let me know when you're opening the door Close me in the dark, let me disappear Soon there'll be nothing left of me Nothing left to release Dance, dance, dance through' the fire Dance, dance, dance through' the fire Feed me no lies I don't know about you, I don't know about you Breathe through the years I don't know about you, I don't know about you Bring me the disco king I don't know about you, I don't know about you Dead or alive, bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king |
