Hey, hey cowboy, hey cowboy
Ain't i seen you hanging around the nashville?
Didn't you used to be a packy back in the west end?
Is that right, is that right?
Well i see you been through so many changes
Heavy changes
I can't say i'm hip to where you're coming from
I can't say i hip to where you're going

Well i see something's growing in the back of your mind
I give you the willies
You don't like my kind
But i can sing like a jingle
Sting as bad as any

Hey, that you? is that still you?
You're looking mighty new wave
I hardly recognize you with that shish kabob through your face
But that's all right, yeah, that's all right
I guess you're trying to make a statement
You been out on the street
Looking for somebody to carve on
Well you can ramble,
Just don't go carving on me

'cause i don't mind the fashion
I've lived with your mind
I dig on the passions
The rest is just crap
I can sing like a jingle
And sting as bad as any

Hey, don't i know you?
Ain't i seen you before?
Yeah, you're the one doing a pyramid party
Down in marina del ray
With their spoon and friends
Still going through them changes
You got your pants full of money
And your nose in the air
You're a record producer
I don't really care
'cause i can sing like a jingle
Sting as bad as any

I went down to the river
To see what i could find
I cried out, "this world is not for me
They don't appreciate my kind."
And the river called my name out,
"i'm afraid you must be wrong.
It's much too shallow here for suicide.
You had better move along."
And ...

Selfish love will just bring you pain
But selfless love is never in vain
Selfish love will just bring you pain
But selfless love is never in vain
It's never in vain

So i climbed up to the mountain
And i saw my purpose clear
I was just about to take the leap
When a voice rang in my ear
"i am just a little mole hill.
You made a mountain out of me.
No man is as blind as he
Who will refuse to see."
Because ...

I was standing in the city
In the dirty grey of dawn
And i looked up at the sky and cried,
"how can you let this go on?"
And a voice said, "i know things are tough,
But i'm doing all i can.
Just don't tell me how to do my job,
You just wouldn't understand."
Remember ...

Space cowboy:
Breaker, breaker, breaker, this is the space cowboy out here,
And i am four light years away from the planet saturn.
Anybody out there got your ears on?
Why don't you tell me about it?

Jupiter moon:
Hello [...] space cowboy. this is jupiter moon talking at you
From mulitoid space. got some folks over here on your back door.
No one over here at your front door. looks like we got us a
Cosmic convoy.

Space cowboy:
Ah, tell me something now, we got that jupiter probe out there
Still?

Jupiter moon:
Yeah, [...] right behind you, following you.

Space cowboy:
Well tell me something, got any word on mr. spock out there?
Is he looking around for us?

Jupiter moon:
Ah, word i get is you better slow down a little bit. i know
He's pushing 19 g's right now, and i think that's a little
Above the limit.

Space cowboy:
Yeah, i know, i know, i'm rigged up, but i thought i could
Make up a little time here. i lost so much time coming around
The sun.

Jupiter moon:
Yeah i know, scooby doo for me too, sun spots [...]
Ok, space cowboy [...]

Space cowboy:
[...] and i'm putting the hammer down. it's been fun running
With you. we'll see you next century.

Jupiter moon:
[...]

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For god herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

"all right, all right ladies,
Settle down now, settle down"

Now, the usual formalities
Everyone, hold all your questions please
You'll all have your opportunities to
Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese

But upon this juncture i must state
How immensely you appreciate
The illusion of grandeur i create
When every trait i overrate
And every word gesticulate
In praise of the motherland

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For god herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

"quiet please, quiet, i'm still speaking"

Irregardless of to what we pledge
The electorate gives me the edge
And the boost to my ego that can't be measured
Ruling you is such a pleasure

Speaking of good taste in dames
I submit to you my list of names
Maybe some of them come up short on brains
But good at diplomatic games
And sycophantic without shame
I give you the cabinet

The privilege is strictly ours
To have you watch while we devour
The crumbs of presidential power
That we can grub from lilly

She's got the wardrobe we adore
Her teeth are perfect, what is more
She knows what having friends is for
We're silly over lilly,
Silly over lilly
'til we're ill, we'll sing it shrilly

Lilly is the nation's pride
And we love her like a mother

"you like me, you like me"

You don't know what this means to me
To be the one you run to see when
You need a mother

"all right, i feel good
I'm a [partridge?]
I'm ready to take you all on
First question please"

Tell us the end, tell us the end
Can you confirm the rumours goin' 'round?
For the record, one time being
Terms of truth are being spread around

"all right, all right, settle down buddy
Are you ready to get an answer to your questions:
Yes, yes, no, maybe, no,
Maybe, not a wink, i wasn't there,
I don't recall, the dog ate it.
Now i certainly hope that clears up the air
And we can get on with important business now"

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
For the record
One time, prime minister

Sources state
That the archbishop's hiding some
Thing of interest
Something of interest

Sources state
Maybe you're just a puppet of
Special interest
Some special interest
Special interest
Some special interest

We would like to know your posture please
On the hard line's platform policies
Like providing free to all the nation
Mandatory mass castration

For the sake of common decency
The judeo-christian society
Wants to guarantee a pregnancy
To anyone past twenty-three

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
We've fresh ugly rumors going 'round

For the sake of party unity
I've some photographs you'd like to see

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For god herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

All right ladies, settle down now

Submitted for your inspection
The evolutionary erection
Of primitive man
But before we explore the question of his sense of style
We must point out his predilection
To cover his glands

Brothers, we've been led to believe
That between adam and eve
There was nothing to hide
Were it not for eve's primal haste
Or a leaf strategically placed
Who knows what she'd decide
Eve and some guy named clyde

That's why life is a drag
Life is just a pose in a rag
You can play the part of
Pusher or pastor
Of harlot or hag
Life is just a dressing game
Life is a drag

The argument can be rendered
All bodies are forcibly gendered
By how they are wrapped
And though popular opinion holds this
Makes us civilized
So much deference is attended
By what's in one's lap

History proves that
Who wears the pants is as much a mere circumstance
As a matter of time
Ultimately, why should we care
Where one buys one's lace underwear
If one is so inclined
Show me yours, i'll show mine

That's why life is a drag
Fashion is a long running gag
We can deck you out in sequins or spandex
A mohawk or shag
Who remembers unisex?
Life is a drag
It's a drag
What a drag

You can be a stag in a bag
They won't know until you're stiff
On a slab and they look at the tag
What you see is what you get
Life is a drag

Let's just say
We hereby conspire
That a change of attire
Is all part of the plan

Something that was so long suppressed
Starts to show when you wear a dress
And if clothes make the man
They can unmake the man

That's why life is a drag
Life is just a pose in a rag
You can play the part of
Pusher or pastor
Of harlot or hag
Life is just a dressing game
Life is a drag
It's a drag
What a drag

Fashion is a long running gag

Aren't you glad they found a way to look hip
When your butt starts to sag

Praise the lord, designer jeans
What you see is what you get
Who remembers unisex
And who are you calling fag
Life is a drag

If i have to be alone
Then i should make my mind serene
After all you're born alone, you die alone
You might as well spend every moment in between alone

But if i have to be alone
Then it will be on my own terms
I can never talk about it, ever show it
Even though the world is watching while i squirm alone

And your bleeding heart friends say, "isn't it sad?"
Then they go make love
While you go insane. insane!
It drives you mad! mad!

My mind, i love my mind
And if no one can feel the same
I'm a computer with a name
And i've got no one else to blame
If i have to be alone

And if nobody understands
That special creature that is me
And if they fail to see the me i see
Then no one else knows truly what it means
To be alone

Maybe once in a lifetime you lose your will
Then you can let down your guard
But they cower in fear. in fear.
It makes you ill! ill!

My heart, my burning heart
And if no one will quench the flame
I'm not obliged to do the same
And then they'll have to share the blame
Because i have to be alone
Because i have to be alone
But i don't want to be alone

The smell of money
Like flies and honey
Appeals to something
More immediate than mere foreplay
And now if you're hungry
This one is on your mind
The aroma takes my will away
Who does this young man think he is?
Who needs this turgid love he gives?
For though he strives to please me
He can't hit the spot like fifty g's can
How can i help but notice
The smell of money
It makes me runny
I want a man whose been endowed
And is preparing to pay
And if you're tipsy
It even smells like love
The aroma takes my will away
It takes my will away
The aroma takes my will away!
