(I feel numb)
Don’t struggle
Don’t jerk
Don’t collar
Don’t work
Don’t wish
Don’t fish
Don’t teach
Don’t reach
(I feel numb)
Wee! It’s fun to be in an upside-down world
There’s fish that fall out of the sea
There’s upside-down clocks that make everyone late
Upside-down food that won’t stay on your plate
In an upside-down world, in an upside-down world
If you’re looking for love
In a looking glass world
It’s pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn’t trade you for another girl
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don’t get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go
Yeah, go
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good at times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I live my life on my own
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait, without you
With or without you
With or without you
When you’ve seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we’re all one
And life flows on within you and without you
But life goes on, you know it ain’t easy
You’ve just gotta be strong if you’re one of the six teens
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain’t easy
You know you’ll never go wrong 'cause you’re all part of the six teens
Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry?
Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky?
Did you ever lie awake and wonder why?
Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died?
Now it’s time to slow things down
Because I told you life speeds up and up and up
Are you sleeping? Can you hear me?
Do you know if I am beside your side?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
My lips are moving and the sound’s coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you’re in a daze
It’s like the feeling at the end of the page
When you realize you don’t know what you just read
They worship me and all I touch
Hazy eyed, they catch my glance,
Pleasant shudders shake their senses
My warm momentum throws their stance.
You’ll feel me coming
A new vibration.
From afar you’ll see me
I’m a sensation.
Live, baby, live
Now that the day is over
I got a new sensation
In perfect moments
That’s impossible to refuse
Sleep, baby, sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes
Like a god into our room
All perfect light and promises
Got a hold on you
A new sensation, a new sensation
Right now, it’s gonna take you over
A new sensation, a new sensation
Crack, baby, crack
Show me you’re real
Smack baby smack
Is all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck
Give me your head
Before you start professing
That you’re knocking me dead
Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I’ll bet you’ll feel nuts
Yes, I’m Siskel, yes, I’m Ebert
And you’re getting two thumbs up
You’ve had enough of two-hand touch
You want it rough, you’re out of bounds
I want you smothered, want you covered
Like my Waffle House hash browns
Comin’ quicker than FedEx, never reaching apex
Just like Coca-Cola stock, you are inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I’ll catch the first junk to Soho
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it’s no myth
Maybe she’s just looking for
Someone to dance with
Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese
It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat Siamese?
Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain.
But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet-and-sour pork
But Garfield’s on my fork.
He’s purrin’ here on my fork.
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know
How come you’re always such a fussy young man?
Don’t want no Captain Crunch, don’t want no Raisin Bran
Well, don’t you know that other kids are starving in Japan?
So, eat it, just eat it
Don’t wanna argue, I don’t wanna debate
Don’t wanna hear about what kind of food you hate
You won’t get no dessert 'til you clean off your plate
So eat it, don’t you tell me you’re full
Just eat it (eat it), eat it (eat it)
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it
Terry got a muffin and he buttered it down
Buttered it down
Buttered it down
Terry got a muffin and he buttered it down
Buttered that muffin down
Johnny got some popcorn and he popped it up
Popped it up
Popped it up
Johnny got some popcorn and he popped it up
Popped that corn right up
The muffin man is seated at the table
In the laboratory of the utility muffin Research kitchen.
Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon,
He gathers an Intimate quantity of dried muffin
Remnants and brushing his scapular aside,
Procceds to dump these inside of his shirt
He turns to us and speaks:
“Some people like cupcakes better.
I for one care less for them!”
