If you’re havin’ trouble with the high school head  
He’s givin’ you the blues  
You want to graduate but not in his bed  
Here’s what you gotta do  
Pick up the phone, I’m always home  
Call me anytime  
Just ring 36, 24, 36, hey  
I lead a life of crime

All you gotta do is pick up the telephone and dial now

I’m not supposed to share that code with anybody  
Mmm, but I’m a real bad boy, what can I say  
When I two-factor authenticate

Sittin’ in the movie show  
Thinkin’ nasty thoughts  
Better be a gentleman or you’ll turn me off  
That’s right, lemme tell it

Nasty, nasty boys, don’t mean a thing  
Oh, you nasty boys  
Nasty, nasty boys, don’t ever change, huh  
Oh, you nasty boys

Sittin’ thinkin’ sinkin’ drinkin’  
Wond’ring what I’ll do when I’m through tonight  
Smokin’ mopin’ maybe just hopin’  
Some little girl will pass on by  
Don’t wanna be alone  
But I love my girl at home

I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks  
I stay out all night, and I smoke and I drink  
I’m a wanted man, and I’m blowing town  
Don’t waste your time trying to hunt me down  
The cops are saying I belong behind bars  
And I’m guilty (guilty) I’m guilty as charged

Maybe the sun’s light will be dim  
And it won’t matter anyhow  
If morning’s echo says we’ve sinned  
Well, it was what I wanted now  
And if we’re victims of the night  
I won’t be blinded by the light  
Just call me angel of the morning, angel  
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby  
Just call me angel of the morning, angel  
Then slowly turn away  
I won’t beg you to stay with me

I know I wanted to be free  
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be

But if you see me walking by  
And the tears are in my eyes  
Look away, baby, look away  
And if we meet on the street someday  
And I don’t know what to say  
Look away, baby, look away

Don’t look at me  
I don’t want you to see me this way

So many days you passed me by  
See the tears standin’ in my eyes  
You didn’t stop to make me feel better  
By leavin’ me a card or a letter

Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)  
Oh, yeah (if there’s a letter in your bag for me)  
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why’s it takin’ such a long time?)  
Why don’t you check it and see one more time for me?

Now most every morning  
I stare out the window  
I think about where you might be  
I’ve written you letters that I’d like to If you would just send one to me

When I walked through the door  
My wife she lay upon the floor  
And with tears her eyes were sore  
I did not know why  
Then I looked into her hand  
And I saw the telegram  
Said that I was a brave, brave man  
But that I was dead

I’m drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin  
I’ll sleep when I’m dead  
Straight from the bottle, twisted again

The grand old painter died last night  
His paintings on the wall  
Before he went he bade us well  
And said goodnight to us all  
Drink to me, drink to my health  
You know I can’t drink any more  
Drink to me, drink to my health  
You know I can’t drink any more

Starry, starry night  
Paint your palette blue and gray  
Look out on a summer’s day  
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills  
Sketch the trees and the daffodils  
Catch the breeze and the winter chills  
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand  
What you tried to say to me  
And how you suffered for your sanity  
And how you tried to set them free

Well, if you can’t dig me, you can’t dig nothin’  
Do you want the real thing, or are you just talkin’?  
Do you understand?  
I’m your garbageman  
Yeah, now it’s up from the garage and down the driveway  
Now get outta your mind or get outta my way  
Now do you understand?  
Do you understand?

Oh, I’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan  
Won’t you hop inside my car?  
I’ve got pictures, I’ve got candy, I’m a lovable man  
And I can take you to the nearest Star

I’m your vehicle, baby  
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go  
I’m your vehicle, darling  
By now, I’m sure you know

That I love ya (love ya)  
I need ya (need ya)  
I want ya, got to have you, child  
Great God in Heaven, you know I love you

(A very creepy song.)

In the summertime, when the weather is high  
You can stretch right up and touch the sky  
When the weather’s fine  
You got women, you got women on your mind  
Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find

Asked a girl what she wanted to be  
She said, “Baby, can’t you see?  
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen  
But you can do something in between”  
“Baby, you can drive my car  
Yes, I’m gonna be a star  
Baby, you can drive my car  
And maybe I’ll love you”

They’re gonna put me in the movies  
They’re gonna make a big star out of me  
We’ll make a film about a man that’s sad and lonely  
And all I gotta do is act naturally
