Well fun and games and laughter for the chosen few
Here comes your nose and here comes you
Je suis suicide, je suis pain
Jabber indecision here we go again, I’m going
Oh we’re in love with beauty
We’re in love with wealth
We’re in love with mental health
I’m going cra-ya-yay-yazy
Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You’d leave me for somebody new
…
Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
I’m goin’ down to shoot my old lady,
You know I caught her messin’ 'round with another man
Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease
Most all of his grades was A’s and B’s
A real rip snorting, trigger squeezer
Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser
Though he had been known to make a couple C’s
Some were dying, some were weeping
Some were studying, some were sleeping
Some were shouting, Texas number one
Some were running, some were falling
Some were screaming, some were bawling
Some thought the revolution had begun
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I’ve seen the payoffs everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook?
Revolution calling, revolution calling, revolution calling you
There’s a revolution calling, revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
Pictures of never ending dreams
I can’t see what these images mean
Locked inside me can’t set the rainbow free
Like perishing flowers they sag and twist and die
There’s a revolution
There’s a revolution yeah
There’s a revolution
There’s a revolution
So welcome to the real world
Full of pain and hurt
Where there’s a million excuses,
And you know what they’re worth
You say you’ve got your big problems
Like everybody else
You won’t find any answers until you find yourself
Inner revolution, shake it up baby
There’s something in your life you don’t like,
You got the power to change it
Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C’mon C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)
I’m so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it’s you, girl, making it spin
You’re making me dizzy
What is this pulling, tugging at my
Limbs so heavy dragging me down again
So I’m hoping, this cold blue water
Scrubs me clean and spits me out again
Because I just want to feel the sunlight
Warm and soothing
The whirlpool’s mother wore a jacket
She’d sewn out of dental floss
It was stolen by a monkey
That sold it to an albatross
I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
Raisin’ it up, waxin it down
In a little white box that I can sell uptown
Uptown girl
You know I can’t afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She’ll understand what kind of guy I’ve been
And then I’ll win
And when she’s walking she’s looking so fine
And when she’s talking she’ll say that she’s mine
She’ll say I’m not so tough
Just because I’m in love with an uptown girl
Why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of day?
Why do they fall in love?
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?
Before I know it will reach defeat!
Tell me why, why, why
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
It’s no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov
Don’t stand, don’t stand so, don’t stand so close to me
Don’t stand, don’t stand so, don’t stand so close to me
Too close, too close for comfort; please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there’s such temptation
One thing leads to another, too late to run for cover
She’s much too close for comfort now
Don’t say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night’s too old
Tonights the night
It’s gonna be alright
Cause I love you woman
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now
