unknown

Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
Of how he found you lorraine

He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain...

I think i'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, i'll just fade
Fade you away

I watch your window from the street
I guess i'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you

Never thought i'd be so proud-
But i will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, i will fade, fade you away
I think i'm walkin' down your street...

Oh, love me now
It's just i need you now
You see it's just
I'm so lost
And i don't know who i am.

But i know what you want
You see it in the magazine
You read, your reading
My pulse when you touch
Turns my feelinings all around

If you need a perfect lover
A magazine cover
A magazine cover
Wait, wait some body...

I lack the enzymes
To properly digest lactose
I can't drink cow's milk
I can't drink milk from a goat
Yogurt, cottage cheese
Make me throw up
Please no cream in my cup

My stomach is swelling
I am lactose --- intolerant
My throat is constricting
I am lactose --- intolerant

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or
Rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
This is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way
Like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner
Where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
Through other eyes on other days
While going home --
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
To another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
With words half spoken
And thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
Wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
If you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
In and out the window
Like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo

Cut out
Cut out
Cut out
Cut out

The train was leaving at 10 after 10
I got to the station just in time to check in
I've been bumpin' my bags all around
I'm trying hard to never knock people down
But i can see i left a few on the ground
And as the train pulls away i can hear the conductor say

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train... train

I read my schedule but my train wasn't there
I re-read my ticket, it said going nowhere
Everybody had the same tatooed face
All the women and men dressed in lace
I think i gotta get out of this place
I should've got off before the engineer locked the door

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train, train train train hey !

"hey that's a neat tatoo you're wearing. by the way where'd you get it ?
Uh huh. say, is this an express train ? uh huh.
Snack bar ? uh huh. uh huh."

Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Another empty town fading to gray
Another coca-cola sign on the way
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day
And as the train pushes on,
We're headed for babylon
Oh no...

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train...
On the wrong train on the right track
We don't know if she'll ever come back

(talking) what train is this ?
Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day (talking)
"yeah, yeah i'll be right there yeah. i'm gonna get the next train yeah."

Baby i want the
Love you been savin'
Tell me the truth
Boy why you been waitin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

We could be sweethearts
We could be never
Did you forget
I love you forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

I can see by now
You don't want to know
Can't blame me if i love you so

I'll be your dancer
A silky eyed lady
Dreamin' of moonlight
Hopin' that maybe
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

We could be sweethearts...

(piano)

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are

Flyer fly me away
Higher til i can't see
Glider keeper of my dreams
Of whatever once was me

I was thinking of you
I was thinking all i was just thinking
Fly me away
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyer
You could make it last a long time
Well for all time
And for always
You could make it last forever
Was just thinking
Oh i was just thinking i was i was

Oh
Flyer dancing on the skylite
By play of my youth
Like a cryer clinging to a shadow
I go on and on and on on
And wishin' and
Thinking of you

I was thinking oh i was just thinking
Fly me awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyer

You could make it last a long time
Well, for all time
For always
You could make it last forever
Was just thinking
Oh i was just thinking i was i was
Oh....la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Da da da
Da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(guitar solo )

So when i sing my song
When my heart is beating stronger
I'm flying away
Flying away

Ohhhhh

Na na na na na naaaa na na
Na na naaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Na
Na na na na na naaaa na na
Na na naaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was just thinking....

We sleep together, close and warm
We calm each other through the storm
We set up home, but in a while
We're tempted by another's smile
When it's all played out
If the truth were known
You have to learn to live alone

We dance around the fading light
You hold me closer every night
You fell in love but i did not
But in the end you're all i've got
When it's all played out
When the truth is known
You have to learn to live alone

We fly around the world too fast
We cannot make one moment last
We love the crowd, we sing and play
We do it all, we get our way
When it's all played out
When the bird has flown
You have to learn to live alone

When we're all played out
If the truth were known
You have to learn to live alone

Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (like chairry !)
Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair !
Pee-wee's so excited,
'cause all his friends have been invited (that's you !)
To go wacky, at pee-wee's playhouse!

There's a crazy rhythm, comin' from puppetland (what that ?)
Dirty dog, cool cat, and chicky baby are the puppet band (yeah !)
He's got a couple of talkin' fish,
And a genie who'll grant a wish -
Golly, it's cuckoo at pee-wee's playhouse !

Globey's spinnin', mr. window's grinnin',
'cause pterri's flyin' by (hello !)
The flowers are singin', the picture phone is ringin',
And the dinosaur family goes, "hi!"
Mr. kite's soarin', conky's still a snorin',
There's the flashing magic screen.
The cowntess is so classy, randy's kinda sassy -
A nuttier establishment you've never seen !
Spend the day with pee-wee and you'll see what we mean ! (come on !)

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (wake up!)
'cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen -
Now we've given you fair warnin' !
It's gonna be that kind of mornin' -
For bein' wacky !
For getting nutty !
Golly, it's cuckoo !
At pee-wee's playhouse !

he met marmelade down at old moulin rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said hello hey jo wanna give it a go

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

Sat in her boudoir while she freshened up,
That boy drank all that magnolia wine.
On the black satin sheets where he started to freak.

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

He came through in with the money in the garden bags
Let them know we got the cake steaigt out the gate
Some women say that is for whores
But why spend mine when i can spend yours
So this is agreed for you i'm sorry
I'm gonna keep playing those cats for all that money
High heel shoes getting love from the blues
For the bad ass chicks from the roulin rouge
Hey sister, sow sister, better get that dough sister
I drink wine with dimands in the glass
By the case, thets the meaning of expensive taste

Gouchi gouchi ya ya
Mocha chocalata, creo lady marmelade

Marmelade, marmelade, marmelade

The lyrics as they performed it
When i see the sign that points "one way".
The lot we used to pass by every day.

Just walk away renee,
You won't see me follow you back home.
And as the rain beats down,
Upon my weary eyes.
For me it cries.

Your name and mine inside a heart, upon the wall,
Still find a way to haunt me,
Though they're so small.

Just walk away renee,
You won't see me follow you back home.
These empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same.
You're not to blame.

Samui kita no kuni wa ima, mori no juhyo ga kirei desho
Ima sugu kita no machi made tonde iketanara
Furushikiru yuki subete o oou,
Hito no kokoro mo, namida mo tsutsunde iku
Shiroi yuki no youna yasashisa ga hoshii
Nanimokamo yuruseru kokoro ga hoshii

Ehagaki de mitsuketa toui hi no yo, yuki no machi
Mado akari no nukumori totemo shiawase sou
Shiroi yuki no youna yasashisa ga hoshii
Kagiri naku hirogaru, negai wa yume...gin iro no yume

In the bosom of europa
Little liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as elvis
If she knew who elvis was

Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

By the shores of the gitchee goomee
She was floating on her bed
She was deaming of al jolson
And what she thought he said

He was looking in the mirror
He was putting on the paint
Said the hardest thing about this job
Is being what you ain't

Just an old white man
In a strange new world
Can you come out tonight
Little buffalo girl

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

From the loins of the liberace
Sprang a million little tunes
And they whirled around eliza
Like so many little moons
Every jewel held a secret
Every flourish held a clue
As he held her in a rapture
Singing i'll be seeing you

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

To my surprise, one hundred storeys high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
I tell ya', the folks were screaming, there was a', there was a' out of control, yeah...
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so i had to self-destruct
I tell ya', i tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Up above my head
I hear music in the air (i hear music in the air)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere...

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so i had to self-destruct
I tell ya', i tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(burn baby burn) down
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) down...
(burn baby burn)

Just can't stop...
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot...

You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free
You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free...

I dreamt last night that he held me tight
In a bar we knew way back when -
Drinkin' sloe gin
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin

Oh then the band played "goodnight, sweetheart"
One more dance and we were ready to go.
From the spark heel boppin'
To the light of a steamed window.

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
With them smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill ain't never gone.

Then i woke up in the dark to a different sound
That was coming from my radio
They were playin' somethin' else
'sides "go, johnny, go go go"
So i turned to my sweetie, said "roll over, honey
'cause your mama's gonna show you some fun."
I said "roll over, honey, cause
The thrill ain't never gone."

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
Those smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill is never gone.
...

Here we are
Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
Break the chain then we break down
Oh it's not real if you don't feel it
Unspoken expectations
Ideals you used to play with
They've finally taken shape for us.

What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now you'll say
You're startin' to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can
You mirror me stumblin' through those

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you're out of place

What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It's good, it's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you're out of place

What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It's good, it's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(scat)

I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local dj.
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over beethoven, i gotta hear it again today.

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think i'm rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
Roll over beethoven rockin' in two by two.

Gather 'round children and you will hear
The sound of a cricket crying in your ear
That's mother nature, she's crying out loud
This old earth needs some loving now, so

Chorus:
Put on your green shoes
Put on your green shoes
Mother nature, she's calling to you
To put on your green shoes

Put on your green shoes and walk with me
We'll go around back and plant a tree
Help it grow and you will see
The way the world was meant to be

Chorus

Wonder how the world would be
Without the shade of a redwood tree
Without all the fish, the birds and the bees
Springtime would be lonely, so

Chorus

(chorus)
Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on
Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town
And everybody yeah, tries to put my sloopy down
Well sloopy i don't care what your daddy do
Cause' you know sloopy girl i'm in love with you
And so i say now

(chorus)

Sloopy let your hair down girl let it hang down on me
Sloopy let your hair down girl let it hang down on me
Come on sloopy, come on sloopy
Come on sloopy, come on sloopy
Well it feels so good
You know it feels so good
Shake it, shake it, shake it sloopy
Shake it, shake it, shake it yeah

(chorus)

I had a love
Sweeter than you'll know
Oh i had a lifetime in a moment
He was a boy
I loved so tenderly
He could have been
But he walked away - oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby don't go
I thought maybe i should have
Told you long before
Something inside is erasing
The time back to the memory-
When you were mine.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy,
Are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me
Like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are
Ringing through my open ears exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are
Ringing through my open ears exciting and inviting me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

My oh my it's a quarter to eight
Don't shoot me down dreamboat i'm a late date
Don't ask me no questions i ain't got a smooth line,
Please a' wait a little longer tryin' to make it there on time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

Lazy, dizzy, daisy it's a quarter to whoops, uh, oh
Doin' nothing honey just a' thinkin' of you
So don't you give me no suggestions
While i ain't got the time
Won't ya move a little closer and a kiss
Me one more time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

It doesn't matter cause
I know that you would love me too-

But i was late late late.

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt i had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their donald duck light
And i frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Satellites buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The east
Or the west
This is the crap our children are learning
And oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'cos on saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
But, i'm not saying that the battle is won
But on saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
(repeated)

With every step i take i get one step in step with you
With every move you make i can't wait to make my move
Got your voice buzzing in my head and a rollercoaster down my spine
Well don't you know that boys will be boys
And i could never live my life without you
Sometimes you make me feel like i got a heartful of toys
Oh baby boys will be boys.

Tell me what can i do 'cause i can't change the things i said
I can't help the way i feel or what goes on inside my head
Bad news and broken dreams in time will fade away
Well don't you know that boys will be boys
But baby i'm a man since the day i found you.
Sometimes you make me feel like i got a heartful of toys
Oh baby boys will be boys.

And don't you know that girls will be girls
And i just wanna live any way that i want to
From either side of the fence vive la difference
So help me boys will be boys
Got your voice buzzing in my head and a rollercoaster down my spine
Well don't you know that boys will be boys...
Boys will... boys will be... boys will be boys...

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice.
Santa claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you are sleeping;
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake.

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

(repeat everything a second time)

You keep on knocking but you can
