Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find  
Superman or Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me  
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!  
A you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne  
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own  
'Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mine

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape,  
You don’t spit into the wind,  
You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger,  
And you don’t mess around with Jim.

Now this band’s going to play from nine to one.  
Everybody here’s gonna have some fun,  
Doing the Mess Around.  
Oh, doing the Mess Around.  
They’re doing the Mess Around,  
Everybody’s doing the Mess Around!

I remember when you were down  
You would always come running to me  
I never denied you and I would guide you  
Through all of your difficulties  
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world  
This is Captain America calling  
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees  
So will you catch me now I’m falling…

Love, love will keep us together  
Think of me, babe, whenever  
Some sweet talking girl comes around  
Talking me down  
Hear with your heart and you won’t hear a sound.

Well you could burn me up with evil eyes  
and you know I’m gonna to stick by you  
and you could cut me down and tell me lies  
and you know I’ll still be true  
cause in a cold and lonely world like this  
there’s a lot of things you can’t predict  
and when you spend your last two dimes  
and trouble’s trailing close behind  
you’ll find I’m gonna be there too

You got me sneakin’ and a-peepin’ and runnin’ you down  
This can’t go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby

Do you wanna change  
Or do you wanna stay the same  
You got me running rings around the night again  
Do you wanna feel  
Or do you wanna feel the same  
Don’t let them tell you, you’ll never change the game

Something’s going on, don’t let it die  
Something’s going on, accept it don’t deny  
Something’s going on, don’t let it die  
Something’s going on

You know I woke up this mornin’ people  
the first thing I did was to look into your eyes  
in that space where I used to find so much truthfulness  
there was a stone cold pack of lies

You know that somethin’ goin’ on  
Somethin’ goin’ on and I don’t know what it is  
Somethin’s goin’ on people  
All right

Woke up this morning  
Felt around for my shoes  
That’s when I knew I had those  
Walkin’ blues

Early one morning the sun was shining  
I was laying in bed  
Wondering if she’d changed it all  
If her hair was still red  
Her folks they said our lives together  
Sure was gonna be rough  
They never did like Mama’s homemade dress  
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough  
And I was standing on the side of the road  
Rain falling on my shoes  
Heading out for the East Coast  
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues getting through  
Tangled up in blue.

I fell in love with A gal I thought was kind.  
Fell in love with A gal I thought was kind.  
She made me lose ma money  
An’ almost lose ma mind.

Weary, weary, Weary early in de morn.  
Weary, weary, Early, early in de morn.  
I’s so weary I wish I’d never been born.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth,  
The north side of my town faced east,  
And the east was facing south.

She came in through the bathroom window  
Protected by a silver spoon  
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders  
By the banks of her own lagoon

Druscilla Penny, how’s your head?  
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?  
It isn’t easy for a girl  
when she can’t decide if love is wrong or right  
I hope I live to see a change,  
could you ever really love?  
Ever really care?  
Ever really get it together?  
No.

The lunatic is in the hall  
the lunatics are in the hall  
the paper holds their folded faces to the floor  
and every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon  
and if there is no room upon the hill  
and if your head explodes with dark forbodings too  
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
