My nerves are jumping
Actin’ like a fool,
Well your kisses they burn,
But my heart stays cool
Time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it’s time for a cool change
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided, the future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, “Come down,” I threw up
Ooh… growin’ up
You’re like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget
I wonder what lies beyond our memory’s confines
If memory is the true sum of who we are
May your children know the truth
And shine like the brightest star
J’accuse! ![]()
BIP:
Before you cross the street, take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While you’re busy making other plans,
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy
In loving he gave all he could know
All lipstick like a wave
And like a blue eyed lonely boy
To every friend a slave
Wild birds flock to me
Guide me, my Ravens
Find the way through the woods and snow
Let your eyes be mine seeking for the valley of death
Come this far, I am willing to face the twin-headed beast’s breath
Over the river and through the woods,
To grandmother’s house we go;
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh,
Through the white and drifted snow!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
It’s Christmas at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke we’re gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
Party at ground zero
A B movie starring you
And the world will turn to flowing
Pink vapor stew
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one’s Pink?
So, so what
I’m still a rock star
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and then said, “well, I made the big time at last”
Then I saw you standing there
With a smile I couldn’t share
Just looking around everywhere
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there
Standin’ on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me I’m in a rock ‘n’ roll band.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin’;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
