Strange shapes light up the night  
I’ve never seen 'em though I hope I might  
Don’t ask if they are real  
The Men in Black, their lips are sealed

Fantasy fills my mind  
To leave this place before my time  
Release myself from earthly care  
My dream may be your nightmare

I turn my hopes up to the sky  
I’d like to know before I die  
Memories will slowly fade  
I lift my eyes and say  
Come on take me away  
Come on take me away

Come here girl, close to me  
A thousand stars your eyes can see  
First one we see tonight  
I wish I may I wish I might

I turn my hopes up to the sky  
I’d like to know before I die  
Memories will slowly fade  
I lift my eyes and say  
Come on take me away  
Come on take me away  
Come on take me away  
Come on take me away

From the deepest of the darkest of night  
On the horizon, bright light enters sight tight  
Cameras zoom, on the impending doom  
But then like BOOM black suits fill the room up  
With the quickness talk with the witnesses  
Hypnotizer, neuralizer  
Vivid memories turn to fantasies  
Ain’t no M.I.B.'s, can I please  
Do what we say that’s the way we kick it  
Yaknahmean? I see my noisy cricket get wicked on ya  
We’re your first, last and only line of defense  
Against the worst scum of the universe  
So don’t fear us, cheer us  
If you ever get near us, don’t jeer us, we’re the fearless  
M.I.B.'s, freezin up all the flack  
(What’s that stand for?) Men In Black

She came from Planet Claire  
I knew she came from there  
She drove a Plymouth Satellite  
Faster than the speed of light

Planet Claire has pink air  
All the trees are red  
No one ever dies there  
No one has a head

Ahhhahhhahhahh

Some say she’s from Mars  
Or one of the seven stars  
That shine after 3:30 in the morning  
WELL SHE ISN’T

Ahhhahhhahhahhahhahh

Daddy where are you now  
Forgot about your vow?  
You promised you’d return and take me to Earth  
Did you have to fight that war  
What was it all for?  
The honor of one’s name, what is it worth?

I’m all alone - we’re all alone  
My future’s unknown - our future’s unknown  
I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars

Mother did you hear me cry?  
You never told me why  
You put me in this world of rock and dust  
No friends for playing games  
No foes who scorn my name  
Computerized machines of steel and rust

Is this my home? - this is our home  
This desolate dome - this desolate dome  
I call out to the stars: I’m alone in my house on Mars

I’ll never smell the ocean breeze  
I’ll never climb the highest trees  
I’ll never feel the burning sun  
I’ll never meet my chosen one - in my house…

But I’ve been walking through the night and the day  
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray  
And sometimes it seems maybe God’s gone away  
Forgetting his promise and the word he’d say

And we’re lost out here in the stars  
Little stars big stars blowing through the night  
And we’re lost out here in the stars

I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.

Ain’t thou watching my film  
Analyzing me  
Rusty chalk-dust walker  
Checking up to see  
If we should pull the plugs out  
On all of history  
And all the mystery, yeah  
Of things that shouldn’t be  
Things that couldn’t be, no  
Things that had to be

Don’t you see?  
Don’t you see?  
It’s going up, up, up  
It’s going up  
It’s going up, up, up  
It’s going up  
Let’s get the hell out of here  
Let’s get the hell out of here  
Going up  
Going down

D’ya wanna know what’s wrong with the world?  
Everywhere there’s people with no flowers in their hair

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?  
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?  
We could flow among the stars, together you and I

For we can fly, up, up and away  
(For we can fly)  
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon  
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon  
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky

For we can fly, up, up and away  
(For we can fly)  
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under the twilight canopy  
We’ll search the sky for a star to guide us  
If by some chance you find yourself loving me  
We’ll find a cloud to hide us, keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there, in my beautiful balloon  
Way up in the air, in my beautiful balloon  
If you’ll hold my hand, we’ll chase your dream across the sky

For we can fly, up, up and away  
(For we can fly)  
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon, balloon

Up, up and away  
Up, up and away  
Up, up and away

Up all night, sleep all day  
Up all night, sleep all day

When evenin’ comes I am alive  
I love to prowl around in the streets  
Its the moonlight that controls my mind  
Now I’ve got the power to speak, yeah

(Awake from dusk to dawn) Under the city lights  
(Stars are shinin’ down) They’ll be shinin’ down on you and I  
(And when morning comes) I’ll hold you till the mornin’ light  
Everybody sing it now

Up all night, sleep all day  
Up all night, sleep all day  
That’s right  
Ah ahhh ahhhhh

I get up in the evening  
and I ain’t got nothing to say  
I come home in the morning  
I go to bed feeling the same way  
I ain’t nothing but tired  
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself  
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can’t start a fire  
You can’t start a fire without a spark  
This gun’s for hire  
even if we’re just dancing in the dark

I blocked the path of his retreat  
He turned and stepped into the street  
A dozen guns spit fire and lead  
A moment later, he lay dead  
The town began to shout and cheer  
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo  
(Ringo… Ringo… )  
The story spread throughout the land  
That I had beaten Ringo’s hand  
And it was just the years, they say  
That made me put my guns away  
But on his grave they can’t explain  
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo

I’d like to be under the sea  
In an octopus’s garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about  
The coral that lies beneath the waves  
Lies beneath the ocean waves  
Oh, what joy, for every girl and boy  
Knowing we’re happy and we’re safe  
Happy and we’re safe

We would be so happy you and me  
No one there to tell us what to do

I’d like to be under the sea  
In an octopus’s garden with you

Down here all the fish are happy  
As off through the waves they roll  
The fish on the land ain’t happy  
They’re sad ’cause they’re in a bowl

But fish in the bowl is lucky  
They’re in for a worser fate  
One day when the boss gets hungry  
Guess who’s goin’ be on the plate

Under the sea  
Under the sea  
Nobody beats us  
Fry us and eat us in fricasee  
We what the land folks love to cook  
Under the sea we off the hook  
We got no troubles  
Life is the bubbles  
Under the sea  
Under the sea  
Since life is sweet here  
We got the beat here naturally  
Even the sturgeon an’ the ray  
They get the urge an’ start to play  
We got the spirit  
You got to hear it  
Under the sea

Under the sea  
Under the sea  
There’ll be no accusations  
Just friendly crustaceans  
Under the sea

What, am I to wake up suddenly and then  
enroll at the local college, earn me a degree  
and I could work weekends?  
If I’ve worked real hard  
I could mow your back yard

I can go to Europe, travel with my friends  
I can blow a thousand deutsche marks  
to get drunk in a pub with some Australians  
Buy a giant backpack  
sew a flag on the back

I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)  
I never want to do that stuff  
I think never is enough (yeah never is enough)  
You never have to do that stuff

Sacrifice my life  
Neglect my kids and wife  
All for you to be happy  
All those sleepless nights  
And countless fights to give you more  
And then you say how dare that  
I didn’t write you back  
I must be too good for you  
I only care about myself

What would you say  
If I walked away  
Would you appreciate  
But then it’d be too late  
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways  
Everything is never enough

Do that to me one more time  
Once is never enough with a man like you  
Do that to me one more time

Oh, baby, do that to me once again

Pass that by me one more time  
Once just isn’t enough for my heart to hear
