Vicious
|
|
Vicious you hit me with a flower You do it every hour oh, baby, you're so vicious Vicious you want me to hit you with a stick But all I've got is a guitar pick huh, baby, you're so vicious When I watch you come baby, I just want to run far away You're not the kind of person around I want to stay When I see you walking down the street I step on your hands and I mangle your feet You're not the kind of person that I want to meet Oh, baby, you're so vicious you're just so vicious Vicious hey, you hit me with a flower You do it every hour oh, baby you're so vicious Vicious hey, why don't you swallow razor blades You must think that I'm some kind of gay blade but baby, you're so vicious When I see you coming I just have to run You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun When I see you walking down the street I step on your hand and I mangle your feet You're not the kind of person that I'd even want to meet 'Cause you're so vicious baby, you're so vicious Vicious, vicious vicious, vicious |

Andy's Chest
|
|
If I could be anything in the world that flew I would be a bat and come swooping after you And if the last time you were here things were a bit askew Well, you know what happens after dark When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts And all the missionaries lose their bark Oh, all the trees are calling after you And all the venom snipers after you Are all the mountains boulder after you If I could be any one of the things in this world that bite Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash I'd rather be a kite And be tied to the end of your string and flying in the air, baby, at night 'Cause you know what they say about honey bears When you shave off all their baby hair You have a hairy minded pink bare bear And all the bells are rolling out for you And stones are all erupting out for you And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were groovin' on the street And just like in a movie her hands became her feet Her belly button was her mouth which meant she tasted what she'd speak, ooohhh But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, ooohhh It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooohhh Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose And curtains laced with diamonds, dear for you And all the Roman noblemen for you And kingdom's Christian soldiers, dear for you And melting ice cap mountains tops for you Oh, oh, and knights in flaming silver robes for you And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you Swoop, swoop, oh, baby, rock, rock Swoop, swoop, rock, rock Swoop, swoop, rock, rock |

Perfect Day
|
|
Just a perfect day drink Sangria in the park And then later when it gets dark, we go home Just a perfect day feed animals in the zoo Then later a movie, too, and then home Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spend it with you Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on You just keep me hanging on Just a perfect day problems all left alone Weekenders on our own it's such fun Just a perfect day you made me forget myself I thought I was someone else, someone good Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on You just keep me hanging on You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow |

Hangin' Round
|
|
Harry was a rich young man who would become a priest He dug up his dear father who was recently deceased He did it with tarot cards and a mystically attuned mind And shortly there and after he did find Jeanie was a spoiled young brat she thought she knew it all She smoked mentholated cigarettes and she had sex in the hall But she was not my kind or even of my sigh The kind of animal that I would be about Woh-woh-woh, you keep hangin' round me and I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Oh-woh-woh-woh, you keep hangin' round me and I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago all right now ah-huh-huh Kathy was a bit surreal she painted all her toes And on her face she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose And when she finally spoke her twang her glasses broke And no one else could smoke while she was in the room Hark the herald angels sang and reached out for a phone And plucking it with a knife in hand dialed long distance home But it was all too much sprinkling angel dust To AT and T who didn't wish you well Oh, but you keep hangin' round me and I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Ho-ho-ho-ho, you keep hangin' round me and I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Hangin' round Hangin' round, that's all you're doing baby Hangin' round Hangin' round |
