Put a stake through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you’re slaying the dreamer
Blame me, it’s me
Coward, a good for nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on the paper
It’s a dream come true, which one will it be?
It’s a dream come true, we’ll just wait and see
Only the lucky ones get to steal the show
Only the lucky ones really get to know
Only the lucky, only the lucky ones get lucky
What’s the deal, spin the wheel
If the dice are hot, take a shot
Play your cards, show us what you got
What you’re holding
If the cards are cold
Don’t go folding
Lady Luck is golden
She favors the bold, that’s cold
Stop throwing stones
The night has a thousand saxophones
So get out there and rock
And roll the bones
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you’ve been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
Well, she’s all you’d ever want
She’s the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She’s got style, she’s got grace, she’s a winner
She’s a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she’s a lady
Talkin’ about that little lady
And the lady is mine
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight.
She likes the theatre, and never comes late.
She never bothers with people she’d hate.
That’s why the lady is a tramp.
After eight
A rendezvous with Kate
She works late
I’ve had a hard day watching color TV
Let me be weak, let me sleep and Dream Of Sheep.
Oh I’ll wake up to any sound of engines
Every gull a seeking craft
I can’t keep my eyes open
Wish I had my radio
I’d tune into some friendly voices.
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
Sated!
Now that I masturbated
I’m in love but I’m hated.
I don’t follow the crowd
But I said you… Your covered in vile spew
My filthy chunks are all over you
Sit around and watch the phone, but no one’s calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don’t like the one she’s got
When masturbation’s lost its fun, you’re fucking lonely
Body and beats, I stain my sheets – I don’t even know why
I’ve got an uncontrollable urge
(He’s got an uncontrollable urge)
I’ve got an uncontrollable
It’s got style, it’s got class
So strong, I can’t let it pass I gotta tell you all about it
I gotta scream and shout it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don’t you ever be sad
Lean on me in times of bad
When the day comes and you’re in doubt
In a river of trouble about to drown
Hold on, hold on
I’m coming, I’m coming
Hold on, hold on
I’m coming, I’m coming
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
Silently she opens the drawer
Mother’s little helper is coming out for more
Strategically positioned before the midday show
Her back is arched, those lips are parched
Repeated blow by blow
But what if I’m a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don’t care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice.
And it’s been here silent all these years
Good journey, love, time to go
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
In the horizon I see them coming for you
The mermaid grace, the forever call
Beauty in spyglass on an old man’s porch
The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears
What would touch me deeper
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes
That know why?
Now you say you’re lonely,
You cry the whole night through.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
Now you say you’re sorry,
For being so untrue.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
