Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re
In the rotogravure.
Seem like the whole world walking pretty and you can’t find the room to move
Well, everybody better move over, that’s all
'Cause I’m running on the bad side and I got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Asking only workman’s wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Well I’d stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
Pretty woman, walkin’ down the street
Pretty woman the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
She’s a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
should be the star of a Hollywood movie
Cookin’ in the kitchen, insects on the bone
Hazy, lazy, dream world drippin’ on
Waitin’ for a time bomb, yeah, tick tick tick away
Somethin’ on the radio, yeah yeah, drip drip drip all day, yeah
Aphrodisiac jacket
Napoleon machine gun
Livin’ on a subway, yeah yeah
From dusk till dawn, yeah
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine gun ready to go.
Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip…
To the sound of the beat…
And the man at the back said “Everyone attack”
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, “Boy I wanna warn you”
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
He gave a grand party for friends a relations
who did not forget him when come to the wall
and if you’ll but listen I’ll make you’re eyes glisten
of the rows and ructions at Lanigan’s Ball
After the ball is over,
After the break of morn –
After the dancers’ leaving;
After the stars are gone;
Many a heart is aching,
If you could read them all;
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball.
There’s got to be a morning after
We’re moving closer to the shore
I know we’ll be there by tomorrow
And we’ll escape the darkness
We won’t be searching anymore
If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I’m the love that you’ve looked for, write to me, and escape
He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune
Body water is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune
Now I’m dreamin’ of a huge jihad,
And the Fremen all think I’m God –
Maybe I do, too,
And don’t it make my brown eyes,
Don’t it make my brown eyes,
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow’s wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Blue eyes,
Baby’s got blue eyes,
Like a deep blue sea,
On a blue, blue day…
See him drink… from a bottle.
See him eat…from a plate.
Cute, cute…
Little baby.
We wanna make him stay up all night!
