Something/anything?

There ain't a man alive today
Who doesn't want to have the world in his hand
And everything to go his way
And abuse what he don't understand
Some people never can be satisfied
Less they push somebody else around
But i can't give no aid or take no side
I just watch them drag each other down because

Some folks is even whiter than me
Some folks is even blacker than me
I got myself caught in the middle somewhere
And that's just where i want to be

I'm talking bout the outside
Talking bout the inside too

I spent a lot of time alone
And when i'm gone you won't remember my name
But i ain't never been nobody's boss but my own
And i hope that you can say the same
And i feel just like everyone around
I like so sing my songs of change like a crooner
But if we was all to live another mile uptown
I think we'd like to get it changed a whole lot sooner

See that girl, watch her dance
If i knew her name i wouldn't have to sit on my hands
If my mouth don't work i get some help
And she don't mind if i don't keep my hands to myself

You're all right
You put up such a good clean fight
I'm afraid that you lose tonight
S-l-u-t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me

You're so clean, so refined
You don't care to get messy just to have a good time
She's got saggy thighs and baggy eyes
But she loves me in a way i can still recognize

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe i think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe i shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as i do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes i can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'cause i never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that i'd be with you if i could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if i ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think i should

Instrumental with: "breathless, i'm so breathless"

Tell everyone that i am sorry, truly sorry
For all the wrongs i done
I never meant to hurt nobody
Lord i never want to do no wrong

I have lied, i have begged and i have cheated
And i know my ship won't be coming in
As i lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind

Take hold my hand, hold it tighter, ever tighter
You must believe that i love you still
But my strength, it grows weaker, ever weaker
And my body has lost its will

Oh my lord, i have lost once again
And i got no one to help me find my way
But i never wanted to hurt nobody
And i never wanted to do no wrong

"hey baby, you're on a subliminal trip to nowhere.you better get your trip
Together before you step
In here with us!"

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to wolfman jack
If you want yourself a day man, well i don`t mind
You just ditch him when the sun goes down
'cause the moon shines bright
And everything's all right
When the wolfman, he creeps into town

Now you maybe want a man who throws round his money
But he ain't as cools a wolfman jack
And you might want yourself a man
Who don't act so funny
But he ain't your fool like wolfman jack

I don't mean to treat you evil
I'm just a good boy gone bad
But if i catch you after dark walking through the park
I'm just liable to do something mad

You maybe think you know what love is about girl
But it's nothing 'til it's wolfman jack
And everybody knows, you go round and shout it
That your only thrill is wolfman jack

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to wolfman jack
I may miss your loving while i'm on my back
But you can't escape from wolfman jack
You can't do this to me

Look me in the eyes baby, now you cut that jive
You know the wolfman's just about
The number one cat alive
You got my great big eyes spinning round in my head
How could you love another man instead?

I think i'm gonna love it
I think i'm gonna love it
Because i know someday someone else will see it my way
And then i'll know i was not wrong
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
They think that i'm no good
But i will make myself understood
'cause i believe it all along

I think i'm gonna love it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me

I know the time is gonna come
When i will mean something to someone
Until that day i'm hanging on

Black maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stop dead
You're a liar, this i know
I watch you go around my head

Oh, i'm going down slow
You scare me so
Oh, you never let go
You scare me so

Gay deceiver, my eyes they burned
My insides turned, my brain it rolled
Unbeliever, but now i've learned
I took my turn, i come up cold

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
Though i knew there was something wrong
And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'cause i saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
'til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But i tried to run,
Though i knew it wouldn't help me none
'cause i couldn't ever love no one, or so i said
But my feelings for you
Were just something i never knew
'til i saw the light in your eyes

But i love you best
It's not something that i say in jest (ha ha)
'cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And i ran out before but i won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes

One more day
They said we'd be home for christmas
But i'm still here today
One more day
I went to see the first lieutenant
He said shut up and wait
One more day, no word

We don't pick no more trees 'til the union ok
If they don't get a contract soon
Then i don't think we can stay
One more day, no word

All alone, all my friends are gone
Ears of stone, eyes gone blind
Too little to do and too much time

I haven't seen my girl in a year last july
She hasn't even written a letter but i try not to cry
One more day, no word

I am a viking of some note
Knut's my name and here i float
Out on the sea in a great big boat
And i'm the one who beats the drum in time
To stroke the oars that drive our galleons on
And while we rowed we had our song
And we had our god, and it may seem odd
But at least there was a cause
Caught a wind and we upped the sail
Lost two ships when it turned to a gale
Down went a third when she rammed on a whale
Though we despaired we could not fail
And through it all we never faltered
Late at night i lay on the decke
Wondering whye i risk my necke
Picture myselfe in a sinkinge wrecke
Ande downe i'me goinge notte knowinge whye
I just can't quite recall the reason why
It's such a drag to carry on
But there was a cause, but there was a reason
If you like i'll be your viking
Sit you down to a nordic meal
Give you strength that you might wield
A viking sword and a viking shield
And off we'll sail in mighty ships of yore
Perhaps we shouldn't let our hands get sore
We need someone to pull the oars
And to do the chores
So we need a cause, so we need a reason why
(erik is here!)

In a voice soaked with euphoria:

I went to the mirror this morning
I looked in the mirror instead
The first thing to come into focus
Was a face wrapped all around my head
There's something sticking out of the middle
I guess it's my nose (i suppose)
I just don't recognize those eyes
All these years i've been watching from the other side

The voice is now one of brutal stupefication. the underlying question is - "if
You went crazy, would you know it?"

Uh oh, here i go thinking them crazy thoughts again.
Who is that there? you mean i been walking around
In that all these years? what's it all about?
Where's it all at? i don't want to get heavy but
What am i doing here? uh

My lip has a dark spot upon it
(the voice of a mature adult who's comprehensive
Capacity has suddenly been reduced to that of a
Cherrystone clam)
My teeth look like plastic in chips
And there on my chin i discover
One lonely red and arrogant zit
I went about my business this morning
You got to get out of bed and make that bread
But try as i may to get away
I won't forget what i seen in the mirror today

Boogie on out to a brand new day.
Get off your back and dance!

I seen my eyes. i seen my nose. my lips. my teeth.
My, my gums. i seen my gums! i looked all the way
Down my throat! i looked at my ears. i looked real
Hard at my ears. i looked at my hair. i think i'm going
Bald. i had hair all over the sink or something...
