Different Light

You think i'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say i'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession into the ground

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say i'm haunting you

So why do you call me
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

You hold me responsible
Yeah, so i stand accused
Of causing all the trouble
After high school
Between him and you

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
But i was a good girl
Yeah, 'til you taught me
What it means to be true

Why do you call me
I know you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' valentino
By a crystal blue italian stream

But i can't be late
'cause then i guess i just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic monday
I wish it was sunday
'cause that's my funday
My i don't have to runday
It's just another manic monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if i had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time

'cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what i'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That i have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Debbi

Busted down and broken
All in two
But you never thought
This could happen to you

Wake up, stumble
Trip and fall
You had so much
And now you've lost it all

How could you do it
It's not like you
To be the one to lose
Why did you do it
It's not like you
But i'll be around for you

Such a sad and sorry
Twist of fate
You tried to change
But it's too late

If you ever find out
What to do
Well, then it'll all
Come back to you

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the japanese with their yen
The party boys call the kremlin
And the chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an egyptian
Walk like an egyptian

If she knew what she wants
(he'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(he could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(but he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her

But she wants everything
(he can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(she don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(but she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her

I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next i'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain

Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly

No sense thinking i could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
