Farewell

Can't seem to find my way
Someone tell me what to say
Where am i going
Where did i come from
I don't know, i don't know

Almost got to paradise
But the smoke always gets
In my eyes
Everything i do is wrong
I'm so bad . . . so bad

Late at night, they're asleep
I'm awake, get the urge
Hit the street, jump a curb
Alleyway, dark and wet
Set the trap, i forget
Who i am. but i know
I'll get you . . i'm so bad

I was born inside a cage
Never knew anything but rage
Although i tried so hard to adjust
Love is something i don't understand
Take what i need and i get what i can
Oh . . . i'm so bad

I wake up in the morning so tired
Dreamt that i was walking through fire
The fire didn't hurt me though
We're old friends

Can't seem to find my way
Someone tell me what to say
Everything i do is wrong

Pass the time, lie in bed
Hotel room, t.v. set
Got to move, might be dead
Catch a ride, i'm awake
Join a crowd, hidden blade
Buy a drink, you better pray
I don't get you
I'm so bad . . . so bad

i love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When they're around they make me feel
Like i'm the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good

They don't care if i'm a one way mirror
They're not frightened by my cold exterior

They don't ask me questions
They don't want to scold me
They don't look for answers
They just want to hold me
Isn't this fun
Isn't this what life's all about
Isn't this a dream come true
Isn't this a nightmare too

(repeat first verse)

They don't care about my inclinations
They're not frightened by my revelations

Uh oh take a second take
Uh oh it's a mistake
Uh oh i'm in trouble
Uh oh the little girl was just to little
Too little, too little, too little
Isn't this what life's all about
Isn't this a dream come true
Isn't this a nightmare too . . .

And i don't care what people say
And i don't care what people think
And i don't care how we look walking down the street

(repeat chorus)

(repeat first verse)

I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do i pray to to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
Straighten out this crooked toungue...
My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow.
My mind has wandered from the flock you see.
My mind has wandered, the man just said so.
My mind has wandered, i heard it on tv.
And the flock has wandered away from me.

-chorus-
All around the world now
Like a big bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
Tv sets and telephones
Here it comes just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello insanity

I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally, i'm morally impure
I am a disease and i am unclean
I am not part of god's well oiled machine
Christian nation, assimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the streeet
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on tv

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin
While he mental fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me

Let's imitate reality
Let's strive for mediocrity
Let's make believe we're all the same
Let's sanitize our little brains
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, i'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep

Christian sons, christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

Christian nation, make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family falues while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get danny quayle

(chorus)

I'd love to take you home with me, i'd love to tuck you in
I wish i could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight, i'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky

(chorus)

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I wish that i could keep you in a precious chinese box
On sundays i would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, i'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hair, i'd love to see you dead.

Oh mary wasn't happy with the life that she led
She was a simple girl without much to say
So one day she just upped and left her dreary home
And she left all her friends behind to wander all alone
And at first she was afraid, she was so far away
From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway
Oh mary won't you please come...

Well in time she found that
The mountain that she had been taught
Her whole life, that she must avoid
And though at first it hurt, and no one could comfort her
She finally came to appreciate it
And she like it, she like it - oh wasn't she surprised
And though still alone, she grew so much inside
Oh mary won't you please come...

And after a time, she became so sublime
She could look in peoples eyes and read their minds
Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally
She would long for her past and the memories they bring
She decided to return to her old home town
And her heart was burning with all the things she found
Oh mary won't you please come...

So, mary came back and at first no one recognized her face
And her friends were all a little bit afraid
When they heard what she had to say
They all slowly backed away
And her family took her aside and put their arms around her
They said mary won't you please come back to us now
There is still time to repent for all your sins
And mary started to cry when she realized
That she'd never come home again in her life

Oh mary won't you please come
Mary won't you please come home...

Hey, i've got a commentary without much to say
You know those damn kids drive me crazy every day
But all i ever think is something to complain...
And i wish that they would all just go away
'cause all i really want is to be just like them
Just wanna be just like them...
Just wanna be just like them...
Just wanna be them.

Hey, i've got a commentary without much to say
If you forgive me i'll be getting on my way
And i forgot the whole damn point of this whole song
And i'm complaining now, complaining for so long...
For so long...
For so long...
I really want all those things that i can't have
All i really want is to have you so bad.

Hey, those stupid kids have really gotten out of hand
And now i think it's time we all take up a stand
And then together we will raise our voices high...
Our voices high...
Our voices high.

Hey, though at this moment i can't think of what we'd say
I guess we really want to be just like them...
Just want to be just like them...
Just want to be just like them.

Hey, i've really thought a thousand times about this day
I've been expecting it in each and every way
The possibilities preoccupy my mind
And i'm so fortunate to be so very kind...
So very kind...
So very kind.

What i really want is all those things that i can't have
What i really want is to have you so bad
I'm so jealous i can barely see straight from my head
And it burns from the inside 'til i wish i was dead.

Please, mama don't be angry with me.
Please, papa don't be angry with me.

And i'm so sick and tired of all those stupid things you say
And this monkey sitting on my back won't go away
And i'm standing here with my dick in my hand
Waiting for an invitation to the promised land.

Please, mother don't be angry with me.
Please, father don't be angry with me.

Hey, i've got a commentary without much to say
And all those damn kids drive me crazy every day
But all i ever think is something to complain...
To complain...
To complain.

Hey, i really wish that they would all just go away
'cause all i really want to be just like them
Just wanna be just like them...

And i'm so sick and tired of all those stupid things you say
And this monkey sitting on my back just won't go away
And i'm standing here with my dick in my hand
Waiting for an invitation to the promised land.

Please, mother don't be angry with me.

Piggy met baby in a disco bar
Baby said, what a cute little piggy you are
When he took one look at her rocket tits
He smiled real wide and said "baby, you're it"

Piggy said baby won't you come with me
My little place is three steps away
Piggy gonna take us both to paradise
He said "come on little baby, won't you please be nice"

So piggy and baby sauntered into his crib
Said, "here it is baby, this is where i live"
Won't you take a load off, can i fix you a drink
Baby turned real slowly and said, "piggy you stink"

Piggy said baby, do you have a smoke?
Baby said no, she was tryin to quit
Piggy was speechless for a couple of beats
When his jaw dropped open and he said... "shit"

Now piggy and baby had some swingin times
And though piggy was stupid,
Baby sure didn't mind
Baby said, "lets go straight to the stars"
And piggy said
"huh? .... whatever"

Baby and piggy took a walk in the park
It seems that piggy was in kind of a fix
He owed seven bills to a couple of sharks
Who were gettin kind of itchy in their finger-tips

So they figured it was best to clear out for a while
Piggy had lots of friends, or so he would boast
And his little piggy habit was kind of out of control
So they packed up his lincoln, and head for the coast

Baby started smokin again on the way
Piggy's little habit was making him sweat
So they stopped off in vegas for a couple of days
To scam some cash up and make a few bets

They went and shacked up in a place on the strip
Piggy made some calls and baby got sick
Baby turned to piggy with a desparate plea
"c'mon piggy, you know what we need"

But the problem, you see, was that they were broke as shit
So piggy asked baby if she'd turn a few tricks
She argued at first, but she finally agreed
With a couple of shiners, she hit the street

Now piggy felt good, and piggy felt mean
And piggy was high on his self esteem
So he pulled out his piece, in front of a cop
But the cop said "fuck you" and piggy got popped

Now everybody tells me you're the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since i don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world turn upside down
When did you change your mind, when did you lose the juice
Now where did you get your attitude
When did you give it away, what did the old man say
And how many babies did you kick today
Now how many nights can the full moon shine
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine
When the blood has flowed against the tides of time
And the water flows forever
Hey hey hey!
Now i'm gonna build a boat, i'm gonna make it float
'cause i'm getting the chase for a faraway place
Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind
And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend
With a boat for two, just me and you
You can be my teacher, i can teach you too
Gonna try a few things that i've never done
Maybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some fun
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
While i dance a jig under the eyes of mars
When we get to an island where no one's ever been
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
And i stand with my thing hanging out in the wind
Where the water's sweet like honey
Hey hey yeah hey hey yeah!
I've been feeling a chill, from the east wind blue
It's been creeping up slow, have you felt it too?
Have you noticed the look? have you felt the feel?
Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed
Have you heard what they say, did you read the news
Said the old man's coming home a-singing the blues
Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide
Make your ears turn red, make you gonna cry
Now how many children gonna lose their minds
How many crying girls will be left behind
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking... yeah
Now everybody sing to the heavens above
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
Won't you clack your teeth, won't you smack your hands
Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand
Won't you jiggle your butt, won't you wave your arms
Won't you look like you just came off of the farm
Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two
Won't you help your neighbors, won't you do the do
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you eat the cake
Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face
Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight,
That you tasted the water and the water was right
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you dance the dance
Won't you wake up please, come on out of your trance
Everybody make believe that you disappear
For a second or two, gonna feel so queer
And you left behind all your rage and fear
And it made you feel like water

Here's something to think about
Where would we be without nasty habits, nasty habits
Makes me want to scream and shout
Life would be so dull without nasty habits, nasty habits
All those naughty little things that we don't discuss publicly
Nasty habits, nasty habits
Tell me your secrets, tell me your name, tell me your secrets

Does it please you to employ little girls or little boys
Nasty habits, nasty habits
Do you like to romp and play by yourself when they're away
Nasty affair what do i care
Do you peek at magazines filled with doggies and leather queens
Nasty habits, nasty habits
Tell me your secrets that no one should hear
Whisper them softly into my ear i won't tell, i won't tell

People act so proper when they're going 'bout their business
Cup of coffee, lfriendly conversation
'til they get home,
'til they get home

Turn the phone off, lock the door and shut the curtains
Make sure that the neighbors are without suspicion
No one will know
No one will know
Nasty habits i must condone
No one knows what i do when i'm all alone
Nasty habits i'm so ashamed

Nasty habits here to stay now they'll never go away
Try and stop you'll have to pay
Nasty habits are here to stay

(repeat chorus)

Nasty habits i must condone
No one knows what i do when i'm all alone
Nasty habits i'm so ashamed
But we must not let that stop our little game
Nasty habits are so much fun

Nasty habits here to stay now they'll never go away
Try and stop you'll have to pay
Nasty habits are here to stay

(from beatles version)

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, i'm crying.
I'm crying, i'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar alan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.

We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again

When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am i to cast a shadow
Who am i?
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time

Chorus:
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...

And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am i?
And if you think i'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love

(chorus)

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes

(chorus)

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said if you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell

But johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was
Ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didn't want to learn things
(had other interests)
He liked to burn things

The lady down the block
She had a radio that johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the care
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

It's not his fault that he can't believe
It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away
He'll go away

(repeat chorus)

Hey there johnny you really don't fool me
You get away with murder
And you think it's funny
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Hey there johnny boy
I hope you fry!

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

Chorus
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . dead man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

Chorus

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

Chorus
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on t.v.?

Oh boredom is so terrible, it's like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse
Than when there's nothing on t.v.
I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I've been reborn so many times
I can't remember them all
(and i say)

Chorus

Just like someone on t.v.!

I think i'll be a teddy boy, i think i'll be a hunk
I think i'll be a tough guy and i think i'll be a punk
I might just be a fashion star
All dressed in frilly rags
Or perhaps i'll cross the other side
And walk around in
Drag!

Chorus

Just like somebody on t.v.!

Do you like to be just like a rock
In the middle of the sea
Do you want to suffer by yourself
In a pool of blissful misery
Do you want to feel like a saint in artists' clothes
With a rosary in your hand
Do you wanna be crazy like van gogh like a
Stranger in a
Strange, strange land

Would you rather push the buttons
And be feared by all humanity
Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum
Do you wanna be stupid, just like me

Chorus

Just like somebody on t.v.!
Who do you want to be . . . . . . .

You worry too much / you make yourself sad
You can't change fate / but don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / it's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i don't want to die

I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (i'm as)
Clever as can be, and i'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!

You think you got it rough / what about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / and he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i
Don't want to die (but) . . .

No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)
