Bad Vibes

My friend parker is a painter a poet and a groove
He came around on wednesday
And made me think about you
Now he seemed to be a daddy-o
And yes i am too
This is for you m.b.
You made me so happy

Now lenny's got trousers
And bobby's got the wig
There's a lot of friendly people
I'm not so sure about this
Now little prince has got the cream
I've got a new drum machine
Hey you m.b.
You taught us all how to be groovy

All the children now are dancing to the music
And the music never stops
Do they think that they know something we know not
We're gonna rock
Just like marc
We're gonna rock
Just like marc
We're gonna be groovy

Just like marc
We're gonna do it in the park
Woodland rock
We're gonna do it in the park
Just like marc

We're gonna be groovy daddy-o's

As a child i laughed a lot didn't you?
Now it seems i cry a lot
Tell me true, don't you?
Are you now?
Are you now?

You tripped me up
You put mushrooms in my tea
You rolled me, took advantage of me
You tied me up
I see blisters on my wrists
Do i recall you doing the wild thing on me
Do you know what
I think that i liked it
Do you know what
I think i'd like to do it again

You tripped me right up
You put mushrooms in my tea
You rolled me, took advantage of me
You tied me up
I see blisters on my wrists
Do i recall you doing the wild thing on me
Do you know what
I think that i liked it
Do you know what
I think i'd like to do it again

I know that i've been wrong
And i have no one to hang it on
So i take you by the hand
And i ask you please to understand
I just want to see you smile
But all i ever do is make you cry
Hah hah, hah hah

Guess i'm tough to be around
Babe you're tough to be away from
You know every place i've been
Every place i wish i'd never seen
Now i just want to see you smile
But all i ever do is make you cry
Hah hah, hah hah

You know what you're doing
It's a very special thing to ruin now
You know what you're doing
But you don't know why
Oh oh

Now i know what you've been thinking all along
You're saying oh oh no mister wrong
Oh oh oh mister wrong
Oh oh oh

To the corner of the market
Place your wager to the price of tea in china
And the smell of dirty money
On your fingers, in the honeypot is empty

Fall together, pretty boys, don't you cry

Wrote the sequel to the bible
Bought the rights to the original sin
Made the movie, did the business
Took a mortgage on a mortgage on a loan

Fall together, right now, pretty boy

Sold the lamborghini baby
Got the baby, now your broker's on the phone
From the land of wine and plates
Send your resume, we'll call you back jack

Fall together, right now, over me

'cause nothing very good or very bad
Will ever last for very long
Nothing very good or very bad
Will ever last for very long
Nothing very good or very bad
Will ever last for very long
Nothing very good or very bad
Will ever last for very long, no

You used to be mean
You used to be cruel
But you were laughing then
And it was no accident
Where did the mean man go
Is he chasing his shadow
Is he unhappy to report
That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore

You know it all
You've got all the answers
But if that's the case
What's with the long face
It's very easy to be brave
With your good foot in the grave
It's very easy to be cold
When there's no one in the world you want to know
It's very easy to be suave
When you're on your guard
Like you always are

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
And morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors
You face up the mirror, mister pimp or whore

Is it hard to let go
At the foot of the rainbow
Just to be informed
That the chase was your reward
Here have a crock of gold
Keep it for when you're old
Like a week on tuesday
Hey wise man say
It's very easy to be brave
With your good foot in the grave
It's very easy to be cold
When there's nowhere in the world you want to go
It's very easy to be suave
When you're on your guard
Like you always are

The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
And morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors
You face up the mirror, mister pimp or whore
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
And morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors
The morning is broken, mister pimp or whore

Put me in the ground
Put me in the ground
Come on put me in the ground
The morning is broken
(the morning is broken as you mourn your life)
Come on put me in the ground
(the sun goes down and now the shadows arise)
Come on come on put me in the ground
(the morning is broken as you mourn your life)
The morning is broken
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
And morning is broken as you mourn your life

You've been talking in circles now for years man
Lesson number one is change your attitude
People would like to help you

All you ever wanted was a picture with the queen
Ah, welcome to london
When you've arrived, well you stay or you leave
Don't you know you're quite certain
Nothing is so pretty as it used to be, no indeed

Could you entertain us with a song
With a very special melody
We could sing along
And you know you should be grateful
But i let it pass
'cause you can't get arrested
But you could kiss my ass
In hollywood, yeah yeah, doo doo doo
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

So you'd like to save the world
I suggest you take one person at a time
And start with me
Not an ordinary girl
Not someone that i should hit upon
And ask, "hey what's your sign babe"
Have you been reading my mind
(what did you find)
Nothing more or less terrestrial
Could i keep you in mind

Did you really cry
When you saw the hole in the sky
Did you really hold your head and hide your eyes
Well that's all right
You might call it ultraviolet radiation
It's only sunlight

So you'd like to save my world
If you could free my inner child
Then i could free your inhibitions babe
Or would you like to mother me
I love the way you wear
That motorola generation chic mama

Have you been reading my mind
(what did you find)
Nothing more or less terrestrial
Could i keep you in mind

Did you really cry
When you saw the hole in the sky
Did you really hold your head and hide your eyes
Well that's all right
You might call it ultraviolet radiation
It's only sunlight (sha la la sunlight)
Ah yes it is (sha la la sunlight)
Ah yes it is now (sha la la sunlight)
It's only sunlight
You might call it ultraviolet radiation

So you'd like to save the world
I'd really like to help you
I'd really like to be you for a while
Is that all right
And i could call it ultraviolet radiation
It's only sunlight (sha la la sunlight)
Don't you know (sha la la sunlight)
It's only sunlight (sha la la sunlight)
It's only sunlight
But you might call it ultraviolet radiation
