Take me through the centuries to supersonic years  
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears  
All I have to give you is a love that never dies  
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house  
With a beautiful wife  
And you may ask yourself, well  
How did I get here?

Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you,  
And I’m wondering what it is I should do  
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face,  
Losing control, and I’m all over the place

Where am I going?  
And what will I find?  
What’s in this grab-bag that I call my mind?  
What am I doing alone on the shelf?  
Ain’t it a shame,  
No one’s to blame, but myself…  
Which way is clear?  
When you’ve lost your way year after year?  
Do I keep falling in love  
For just the kick of it?  
Staggering through the thin and thick of it,  
Hating each old and tired trick of it.  
Know what I am,  
I’m good and sick of it!

How lucky can one guy be?  
I kissed her and she kissed me  
Like the fella once said,  
“Ain’t that a kick in the head?”

nd don’t it seem like  
Kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find  
(Oh, you don’t need kicks, girl)  
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind  
(You just need help, girl)  
Before you find out it’s too late, girl  
You better get straight

If you ever plan to motor west  
Travel my way, take the highway that is best  
Get your kicks on Route 66  
It winds from Chicago to L.A.  
More than two thousand miles all the way  
Get your kicks on Route 66

I get no kick from champagne,  
Mere alcohol  
Doesn’t thrill me at all,  
So tell me, why should it be true  
That I get a kick out of you.

The egg was spawned in our mutation pit  
In the bowels of your Earth it was grown  
Feeding on the blood of you loinspawn  
And all the filthy load that was blown  
Now the time is right for birth  
And whatever it is shall stalk the Earth  
What it looks like, I care not I just hope it kills a lot  
Crack in the egg  
Crack in the egg  
The time is right  
Crack in my pipe

It’s like a whirlwind of emotions that occurs when moms and dads fight.  
It’s like when a girl grins and a motion of hers that holds your arm and grabs tight.  
Hurl him into the ocean. One of those cold sweat, heat flash types.  
But extreme fluctuations and temperature changes have been known to crack pipes…  
Crack pipes…  
crack pipes.

Who do you call when your feet won’t move  
And you need a shot of rhythm and blues  
Tell me who do you call, baby  
(Call the) Roto-rooter, baba, troubleshooter

Say, up in Harlem at a table for two  
There were four of us: me, your big feet, and you  
From your ankle up, I’ll say you sure are sweet  
From there down there’s just too much feet

Yes, your feet’s too big  
Don’t want you 'cause you feet’s too big  
Can’t use you 'cause you feet’s too big  
I really hate you 'cause your feet’s too big

Chocolate flavored love  
Licorice lips like candy  
Keep my cocoa handy

Creme tangerine and montelimar  
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart  
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it’s good news  
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out  
After the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart  
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart  
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues  
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out  
After the Savoy truffle

Man, I haven’t got a chance

Do you know  
Exactly how to eat an Oreo?  
Well, to do it  
First you unscrew it  
Very fast.  
Cause a kiddle  
Eats the middle  
Of the Oreo first  
And saves the chocolate cookies  
Outside for last.
