Lady sings the blues  
She tells her side  
nothing to hide  
Now the world will now  
Just what the blues is all about  
The blues ain’t nothing but a pain in your heart  
when you get a bad start  
When you and your man have to part  
I ain’t gonna just sit around and cry  
And now I won’t die  
Because I love him

I’ll have a Blue Christmas without you  
I’ll be so blue thinking about you  
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree  
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me

And the when those blue snowflakes start fallin’  
That’s when those blue memories start callin’  
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white  
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

I want an alien for Christmas,  
Bring me an alien this year.  
I want a little green guy about three feet high,  
With seventeen eyes who knows how to fly.  
I want an alien for Christmas this year.

…I awake every time I fell asleep  
I have these terrible nightmares  
Like something I caught  
I see now  
I’d just be aware…  
I’d just…  
My mind refuses to remember  
We can’t get away  
Every night as soon as I fell asleep  
…make an incision…  
I just had to do whatever it wanted  
I was about seven  
(Anytime)  
That’s when the scars appeared  
(Anytime, anywhere)

She came to Earth  
Only love in her heart  
Looking for DNA  
So she pulled me apart

You drive all night and then you see a light  
And it comes right down and lands on the ground  
And out comes a man from Mars

Last night I met a man from Mars, and he was very sad  
He said, “Won’t you help me find my girlfriend, please?”  
So I asked him, “What does she look like?”,  
And the man from Mars said, she’s

Eight foot two, solid blue,  
Five transistors in each shoe,  
Has anyone seen my gal?  
Lucite nose, rust-proof toes,  
And when her antenna glows,  
She’s the cutest Martian girl.

You know she promised me, recently,  
She wouldn’t stray,  
But came the dawn, she was gone  
Eighteen billion miles away.

Well twirl my turban, man alive  
Here comes Mister Five by Five  
He’s one of those big, fat, bouncin’ boys  
Solid avoirdupois

Mister Five by Five  
He’s five feet tall and he’s five feet wide  
He don’t measure no more from head to toe  
Than he do from side to side

Mister Five by Five  
Got fifteen chins and a line of jive  
He’s a mellow old cat, a real hep fat  
He be Mister Five by Five

I know a man, maybe you know him, too  
You never can tell; he might even be you  
He knelt at the altar, and that was the end  
He’s saved, and that’s all that matters to him  
His spiritual tummy, it can’t take too much  
One day a week, he gets a spiritual lunch  
On Sunday, he puts on his spiritual best  
And gives his language a spiritual rest  
He’s just a faaa…  
He’s just a fat little baby!  
Wa, wa, waaaaa…  
He wants his bottle, and he don’t mean maybe

Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time,  
And maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you.

Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,  
You hung me on a line.  
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you.

It’s amazing  
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light  
It’s amazing  
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright  
It’s amazing  
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s permanent vacation  
And how high can you fly with broken wings?  
Life’s a journey, not a destination  
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings

Take these broken wings  
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free  
When we hear the voices sing  
The book of love will open up and let us in

I wonder wonder who, be-do-do who  
Who wrote the book of love

Looking up you see my spirit glow

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
