unknown

Yesterday a postman
Delivered to me
The pictures that i've longed to see
A special place

A wheel in the sky
Half a mile wide
Will they have a place for me
Up in space

I'm on my way to l"5
I want to stay in l"5

I'm about to empty
My savings account
Hope i have the right amount
To pay the fare

If i can't leave today
I might stow away
Hiding in a storage tank
I'll get there

I'm on my way to l"5
I want to stay in l"5
Save me a place in l"5
Give me some space in l"5

Paperwork in triplicate
And endless delays
Waiting for the departure day
I hope it's soon

If you hear from my wife
I've got a new life
Somewhere between this town
And the moon

Consider the riddle that is man
From his perch at the top of darwin's ladder
Though the rules he little understands
Plays at life as if it really mattered
When before all our eyes
A parading of lies
And reality splatters

But we have dreams, wonderful dreams
While we live in dreams, terrible dreams
We're only waiting, waiting for

Entropy, mindless entropy
Beseech it not,
For it has no thought of anything
All things are equal to
Entropy, heartless entropy
It knows not love, for it shows no love
For anything, anything

Breathes there a soul so dull
It has not striven to attach some meaning
To the chaos that invades the human skull
At the thought that some force is intervening
And this thought we call god
Keeps us straight as a rod
While all else is careening

But we have dreams, beautiful dreams
But we live in dreams, perverted dreams
While we are waiting
There's no stopping

Entropy, skulking entropy
That lustless rapist who plants its seed in
Everything, everything, everything

Yes, there is a thing call wisdom
But we've never had it
We are too preoccupied with
How to iron-clad it
There was never a chance
There was never a chance
Let us dance!

What about our fearless leaders?
What about our necks?
What about the church of jesus?
How 'bout drugs and sex?
What about our precious freedom?
What about free will?
What about our precious freedom?
What about free will?
What about our precious freedom?
Entropy will win!
What about the rule of reason?
Entropy will win!
What about our precious freedom?
What about free will?
What about our precious freedom?
What about free will?
Entropy!
We're all up against it
Entropy
We're all up against it!

Entropy can't take away your freedom
Precious freedom
There's no freedom
No shelter
No heaven help us!

Entropy crushes everything
Entropy smashes everything
Entropy cleanses everything
Everything!

What good is money unless it brings
That certain something
For the girl who's got everything
Here is an item you can't pass by
Won't even cost you one thin dime
I won't give up until you own me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Precious possession, your private property
The price is right so won't you buy me
For a song, you can have me, for a song

Just for a minute stand in my place
You'll understand what i want you to say
Give me a whisper or give a shout
Clue me in, i'll work it out
I'll never break down, i'm maintenance free
And i come with a life time guarantee
You just can't pass up this opportunity
Don't hesitate 'cause if you want me
For a song, you can have me, for a song

I belong to you (hand in hand together)
I belong to you (love in two forever)
You're the only song i need
So let your heart sing, sing for me
If you're serious then you can sample me
I'm nearly yours but you know nothing comes for free
You don't need money, you have security
I'm sure you've got one somewhere, you can keep me
For a song, you can have me, for a song

Have mercy, have mercy baby
Have mercy, have mercy on me

Well i went to see a gypsy
And had my fortune read
She said, "todd, your baby's gonna leave you.
The bags are packed up under the bed."
And i cried...

I said, "if you leave me baby,
Girl if you put me down,
Well i'm going to the nearest river child,
And jump overboard and drown."

Well now hey hey baby, hey hey now
What are you trying to do?
Well now hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through.

I say, "if you stay here baby,
Tell you what i'm going to do.
I'm going to work two jobs, seven days a week,
And bring my money home to you."
And i'm crying...

Would it be wrong of me
To interrupt your little fun
You always run away
If i've got something serious to say
But you belong to me
If you belong to anyone
And when i call you, you must come
Come as you are

It isn't every day
I have to ask you to come out
I've never tied your hands
Just don't like to make demands
I've never needed you
The way i need to have you now
So when i call you, you must come
Come as you are

Don't you change a thing
Don't make a move
Only come as you are right now
Think i'm dying for your love
This is everything i ever need
So won't you come as you are right now
Before i die without your love
Forever, crying for your love
And maybe someday
You could be dying for my love

Just remember i'll always belong to you
If i knew if i belong to anyone
And if you need me i will come
So if i call you, you must come
Come as you are

Don't you change a thing
Don't make a move
Only come as you are right now
I think i'm dying for your love (i'm dying)
This is everything i ever need
So won't you come as you are right now
Before i die without your love
I think i'm dying for your love
Can't you see me crying for your love

Dying for your love
Crying for your love
Dying for your love
Can't you feel my love
Don't you want my love
Feels like i'm dying without your love

There is an essence in the water
There is a spirit in the sky
There is a spider drawing webs
To crucify a fly

The fly is drawing nearer
Just as if he knew
How we all must fit the pattern
How the pattern must fit you

Everybody say amen
These are the dreams of ordinary men
This is the world that we'll be living in
Out of the dreams of ordinary men

I mistook all your intentions
But you never did deceive
I have a helpless fascination
For the web you wove for me

We had nightly public beatings
But we slept in private hells
And i feel no guilt or vengeance
We just couldn't help ourselves

So what's the answer i have to find
To change my world like i change my mind
And change my life
If i could only change my dreams

Just give me one good reason
I know somehow, there's got to be one
I wasn't born every minute of every day
I never feel this way

I fought hard to keep my freedom
But when i think of things that we've done
I give what i keep, and i keep what i give away
Is this a good sign, i'm on a thin line

One good reason is all i need
Say the word and i'll cut you free
What was nothing just yesterday
Could be something that's here to stay
One good reason and i might go either way

Give me some indication
It's not my imagination
Something is born every minute of every day
Something could come my way

I just need one good reason
To make me stay instead of leaving
I never knew how to be any other way
Maybe there's still hope
I'm on a tight rope

One good reason is all i need
To take the heart that is tempting me
Make a move that could change your life
Never know if it's wrong or right
One good reason is all i need tonight

It just takes one good reason
My body sweats, my hands are freezing
I don't make decisions like this every single day
What do i have to say
Just give me one good reason
Give me one good reason

She looks good
But she's not all together right
All the parts are not screwed on tight
There's a touch of tragedy

When she moves
I can see the secret showing through
She'd deny it if she thought i knew
But she could never hide from me

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
She looks so satisfied
But i've known about her much too long
She can't conceal what she feels inside

I'm going to show her that
Piece by piece
Inch by inch
I can put her back together again
I'll supply the love she lacks
And give her back
Exactly what she needs
Bringing it piece by piece

All i need to find a way around her defense
Is just a little common sense
I don't have a strategy
I'll be there, like i have so many other times
She'll reveal to me a certain sign
That only i can see

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
She seems like she's complete
But it's obvious it's been too long
Since she believed what she needs is me

Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
But she's not fooling me
Everybody wants to lead her on
But i believe what she needs is me
(what she needs is me)

They say you know your way around
They say you are a man of the world
You say she is a new kid in town
You think she's just another girl

You get suspicious that something is wrong
No explanation why it lasts so long
And by the look on your face, everybody knows
You can't deny that you feel exposed

You can feel the heat when the night is gone
You been burnt by the midnight sun
When you look for relief but you can't find none
You been burnt by the midnight sun

Like a train running down the track
It's too late, things are out of control
There's no way she can take you back
There's no release for the brand on your soul

You never noticed the touch of her hand
You messed around with things
You don't understand
Now you sit in darkness while a new day dies
Her face is shining when you close your eyes

When you feel the heat when the light is gone
You been burnt by the midnight sun
When you look for relief but you can't find none
You been burnt by the midnight sun

I know the feeling, you wish you'd been warned
Now you and i are brothers in arms
'cause i know the pain 'cause i know her kind
One left a feeling burning in my mind

And you feel the heat when the night is gone
I been burnt by the midnight sun
And i look for relief but i can't find none
I been burnt by the midnight sun

I can feel the heat when the light is gone
I been burnt by the midnight sun
And i look for relief but i can't find none
I been burnt by the midnight sun

Sometimes things fall apart
That's god's love in disguise
And when i break your heart
That's my love in disguise

When you awake in pain
It should come as no surprise
I'm not sure i care
But it still must be there
My love in disguise
And all you want are sweet lies

I see my problem now
Her love was in disguise
Some fear that won't allow
Her love to shed this guise

Ian, don't be a fool
Look what she's done
She'll do it again

Pale, pure, and virgin things
So frail, it turns from my eyes
It hides while i become
So hurt my heart is numb
When love is in disguise
The best you have is sweet lies

Ian she'll be our downfall
Don't believe your eyes
Lies! and she'll leave you all alone

Possessiveness and jealousy
We recognize easily
That which we claim to prize
No one can recognize

The poor young sap is unaware of
Things that we are all aware of
The knife she hides behind her back
Misery! he gets his share of

The flowers must pollinate
The beasts are forced to mate
Woman and man decide
Yet we're not satisfied
God's love is in disguise
And all we want are sweet lies
Sweet lies

Long live the glorious revolution

What's going on
Oh, mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother,brother
There's for too many of you dying
(too many dying)
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today yeah
Father,father
There's no need to escalate (no need, there's no need, no need)
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some love and understanding here today
Picket lines, with picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on come on talk to me
So you can see what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

Mercy mercy me (ecology)
Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh things ain't what used to be
Oh where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the air that blows from the north and south
Poison underground and in the sky
Birds and animals who live nearby bye bye die
I want you

Drumgoole, my dear, i must admit
Your life's been one long pile of shit
I must be nuts, at least a bit
To want to be involved in it

But given the alternative
Who knows how we'd be forced to live?
When worlds collide, when worlds collide?
With you, drumgoole, at my side
And at my side!
And at my side!

With worlds colliding in on us
Drumgoole must be trigamous
Pray, say we shall be man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

When worlds collide, the chivalrous
Drumgoole performs the frivolous
And dares to make it man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

That one's mine, he's my concubine
He'll get more out of me
Than what you peons call "love"
Hands off him, that one's mine!

Your favors do not satisfy
I've witnesses who'll testify
And though drumgoole is thin of thigh
She's worth a try, she's worth a try

Though nature was not generous
Her breasts are not as pendulous
Yet still they would be man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

Now according to the law this week
Still evolving even as we speak
Any woman may, at her discretion
Have her pick of losers

Since the breed has dropped so in quality
We abolish, hereby, monagomy
If you don't quite fancy this selection
We've got lots more losers

I've seen all that i need to see
I've fallen for their flattery
And so we shall be man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

When world's collide, the rest of us
Won't be here with the best of us
For these, they shall be man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

Correct me, honey
I smell no money
And when the chips are down
You'll be back around this finger here
I never said that i was in love with you
I never said that i was not, my dear

Why must this girl have everything?
How quickly he forgets the sting
For though she feigns to please him
She is talentless except to tease him
Don't think we haven't noticed

We'll have a shower
And i'll allow her
She seems amused with you
It's so hard to keep her entertained
We'll all go "nudies"
And you can bring your friends
Just keep the one who's nuts for tits restrained!

My long term memory
Is not what it should be
Some tiny spark of love
Helps me find the proper words to say
Your smell of money
You filthy, lying bitch
Is just about to make me puke!
Go away
Please go away!
It's time to make us man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

We've simplified, no muss, no fuss
And vows are now superfluous
I just declare you man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

Wait a minute! wait a minute!
Georgianna, get over here with that law book
Listen up everybody

I've the law book right in front of me
Article sixteen dash thirty-three
"when consenting adults shack together
They're connected legally"

Though he wants to eat and have his cake
There's a pact with me he cannot break
So the rest of you go rot forever
This one will stay here with me

When worlds collide, the devious
The cunning, and the mischevious
Our not-yet-happy-home divide
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

When worlds collide, this friend of us
Is forced to be a succubus
Cruel fate is not upon our side
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

Connie! connie!
This urgent telegram is just in from parliament
Well don't just stand there, let's gloat over it
Aw oh, i don't think you're going to like this
"must clear the old regime' away
The residue must be destroyed
As of 9:00 o'clock today
Contracts with men are null and void"
What!

You're free, my boy, i'm proud to say
And so without further delay
I now declare you man and bride
And man and bride and man and bride!

When worlds collide, the least of us
May get to share the feast with us
For now we four are man and bride
'til worlds collide, 'til worlds collide
We're men and bride!

Maybe i'm better off
If i never leave this cell
Maybe i've lived enough
In a world as free as hell (just as free as hell)
Where you keep on thinking
While it's stinking
You enjoy the smell
And you lick the bowl as well
Love's out there
They tell you
They sell you anything to make you happy
Then it all just turns to crap
So maybe i'm better off
Than i was when i was young
Now that i know the cost
When you try to love someone
Guess i'm better off
In jail at thirty-one

What about all my friends?
Now i won't have to watch them die
And every time they sell out
I won't be there to question why
They can get so high
On the butts they're kissing
While they're pissing
'way each other's lives
As they shag each other's wives
No shopping, co-oping
None of the grand design to sooth the masses
'til it's time to pay your taxes
Maybe i'm better off
Than i was in days gone by
Now that i know the cost
When you set your sights too high
Yes i'm better off

It's jailbreak time for ian

Maybe i'm better off
Now that i've kissed her off
Now that they've whisked me off to the slammer and
Maybe i'm better off
Now that she's pissed me off
Now that my fist takes on a new glamour and
Maybe my mind's run off
Maybe i've just gone off my head
Maybe i've just gone 'round the bend
Maybe i'm in my own little world

It's jailbreak time for ian
Praise the lord, it's jailbreak time for ian
What the hell took you so long?

Life hands you new chances
Uncertain circumstances
Set you back
But then you win the lotto jackpot
Every time you give up (every time you give up)
Then you give up being young
Everything has a cost
That's the way this world is run
Maybe i'm better off
Now i'm free and thirty-one
I'm free, male, and thirty-one
