When I want some lovin’
And I gotta have some lovin’
He says please, stop it, please
He’s so unusual…
Ain’t good looking, but you know I ain’t shy
Ain’t afraid to look girl, this is why
So if you need some lovin’, and you need it right away
Take a little time now, and maybe I’ll stay
But I got to ramble…
Everyday is not enough of your love
Everyday
I need the day and every nighttime too
Everyday
Everyday
Don’t you know what I’ve got inside
A love that’s been denied
A love that’s growing day by day
You’re such a pretty child
You’re about to drive me wild
Come on Babe
Now what you say
Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ closer
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
(A-hey, a-hey, hey)
And I’ve been riding on a ghost train
Where the cars, they scream and slam
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight
But I’d always tell you where I am
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
Two kinds of people in this world
Winners, losers
I lost my power in this world
'Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She’s a lot like you
Yes I’m going insane
You know I’m laughing at the frozen rain
And I’m so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?
Inside outside
Leave me alone.
Inside outside
Nowhere is home.
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen
Out of my brain on a train.
Condensation on the windows
Peering back at myself
Through the webs we have weaved
'Til this radiant morning somewhere else
Oh where have I been
Sorry I’m not home right now
I’m walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I’ll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I’ll call you back

Say hey, A&R, this is Mr. Rhythm and Blues
He said, “Hello” and put me on hold
To say the least the cat was cold
He said, “Don’t call us, child, we’ll call you”
If that cat could talk what tales he’d tell
About Della and the dealer and the dog as well,
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin’ word.
-“BB”-
To change the mood a little I’ve been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I’m looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I’m sober, I’ve forgotten what I’ve had
And everybody tells me that it’s cool to be a cat
Cool for cats
Well honey it ain’t your money
'Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
We always take my car cause it’s never been beat
And we’ve never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn’t be right
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night
I get around
Get around round round I get around
Tooling down the highway doing 79
I’m a twin pipe papa and I’m feeling fine
Hey man dig that was that a red stop sign
(Screeching bang! tinkle)
Transfusion transfusion
I’m just a solid mess of contusions
Never never never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me Bud
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamn fast
He never did win no checkered flags
But he never did come in last
Jerry was a race car driver
He’d say “El Sob number one”
With a Bocephus sticker on his 442
He’d light 'em up just for fun
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware
Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase
He sort of smiled, and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night, I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I’ll never know (No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Look out, look out, look out, look out!
