You say
I only hear what I want to
I don’t listen hard
I don’t pay attention
To the distance that you’re running
To anyone, anywhere
I don’t understand if you really care
I’m only hearing negative, no no no
You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
Don’t worry, Mr. Blue, we’ll take good care of you
Just think of it as sense and not surrender
But never think again, that you can think again
Or you’ll get something you’ll remember
What will it take, to whip you into line?
A broken heart? A broken head?
It can be arranged. It can be arranged
Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don’t give yourself away
My father is a bastard,
My ma’s an S.O.B.
My grandpa’s always plastered,
My grandma pushes tea.
My sister wears a mustache,
My brother wears a dress.
Goodness gracious, that’s why I’m a mess!
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don’t, I’ll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they’re alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright
Oh, it’s too hot
(Too hot)
Too hot, lady
(Too hot)
Gotta run for shelter
Gotta run for shade
It’s too hot
(Too hot)
Too hot, lady
(Too hot)
Gotta cool this anger
From this mess that we made
I’m too hot (hot damn)
Call the police and the fireman
I’m too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire man
I’m too hot (hot damn)
Say my name, you know who I am
I’m too hot (hot damn)
And my band 'bout that money, break it down
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it’s a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it’ll be alright
Callin’ out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancin’ in the streets
Summer days drifting away,
But, oh, oh those summer nights…
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn’t be in summer.
Seeing you in summer
I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!
'Though we gotta say goodbye, for the summer,
Baby, I promise you this,
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter,
Sealed with a kiss.
It’s a long long while between May and December,
But the days grow shorter when you reach September…
Have a good time, but remember,
There is danger in the summer moon above.
Will I see you in September,
Or lose you to a summer love?
Now that’s gone too far to call a halt,
I’ll blame it on the moon,
'Cause it’s not my fault…
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossin’ you in style someday.
My dream maker, my heartbreaker,
Wherever you’re going, I’m going the same.
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
'Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be
Miles from nowhere
I guess I’ll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.
