1.Aches And Pains
Over the river climbing up the hill
Like a digital reproduction
A frequency that kills
Women weep, dogs faint, the police beg
But she won't stop that feeling
Going up and down their legs
Aches and pains
I swear some women have fangs
I'll help you count your scars tomorrow
You spoke out loud when you should bite your lip
Now the joke's on you my friend
And you can't get it fixed
Your zipper broke, she stole your socks, you lost your shirt
She grabbed you by the nose
And she rubbed it in the dirt
Over the river climbing up the hill
Like a digital reproduction
A frequency that kills
The big old dog just lost his bone
So now he begs
But she won't stop that feeling
Going up and down and up and down his leg
2.Save Me
I was a monkey dancing in the trees
Out where the jungle used to be
Before the lumber company
Took my home away from me
Save me, save me
Speaking for those who cannot speak
Save me
It takes a thousand years to make
What can be wiped out in a day
Bulldozers plowing through the rain
Another forest washed away
3.Robobo's Beef
If you watch the news on t.v.
It's enough to make you sick.
Think we need a new solution
Think we better find it quick
'cause we're in acceleration
And there ain't much time to think
Trigger fingers are gettin' itchy now
Oh, they've got us on the brink.
I refuse to hate the russians
And i ain't scared of the chinese
'cause they're people just like we are
And they got their families
They don't want their young men dying
For a piece of foreign ground
And they're tired of taking orders
And being pushed around
Being pushed around
But it's gonna happen soon
From here to every distant shore
When people everywhere refuse
To take it anymore
This world is shrinking day by day
The boundaries are obsolete
Still every man breaks his back to pay
And make some arsenal complete
How can we build more weapons
Knowing what we'll use them for?
How can family men assemble
The machinery of war?
You gotta wonder.
4.Not Worlds Apart
A mountain range or a shining sea
Don't mean a thing to a satellite
Information sent and received
Throughout the day and night
When will we send a message loud and clear
We're in the same boat not worlds apart
All in the same boat not worlds apart
Not worlds apart
Systems come and systems go
Birds fly over the borderlines
People gaze at the starlit sky
Searching for a sign
When will we get the message bright and clear
And i wanna learn
Learn how to listen
Listen to my heart
Not worlds apart
5.Nobody's Fool
Money to burn, i'm on fire
Danger danger, i'm hot-wired
I'm in the business of pleasure
A big demand for leisure
I'll have my drink at the pool
I'm nobody's fool
Roll me over, roll me the rojo
Life is tough, or so i'm told
I'm in the business of pleasure
A big demand for leisure
I'll have my drink at the pool
I'm nobody's fool
Nobody's fool, i'm on fire
Nobody's fool, i'm hot-wired
6.Highway 2
Return to highway 2
The danger zone
Highway 2,
The danger zone
Highway 2,
The danger zone
Everybody go to highway 2
The danger zone
Lookout!
7.Little Blue River
All your tears
Make me shiver
Sometimes i think
You're a little blue river
I don't want to see you cry
But i've got to leave tonight
The floor is filled with all my things
Now i know what fortune brings
All my talk just fills the air
It always leaves us nowhere
Everybody's faucet drips
On every wall something sticks
8.Rabbit Manor
Ooh ooh oooh lunch with hugh
Ooh ooh oooh breakfast too
Up all night, don't you know
In pursuit of the big ego
O o o rabbit manor
Up at rabbit manor
Ah ah aah new sensation
Ah ah aah sweet young things
Retired jocks, aging actors
Courtesans kneel before the king
O o o rabbit manor
Up at rabbit manor
9.Holy Mack
Lord we pray, give us this day
Our daily bread
Every week it costs the meek
Another arm and leg
Lord we pray, the american way,
Cut us a break
Who can believe in the lottery
Or lady luck
Give us some good ol' rent control
When times are tough
'cause money is funny,
When you think there's plenty
There's never enough
Holy mama now, have a little mercy
Have a little mercy on me
Holy mackerel, i'm a little fish
Drowning in a great big sea
Lord we ask, show us a path
Where ends will meet
How to address this modern stress
And how to compete
Show us affection
And give us directions
To easy street
10.Complicated Potatoes
A fat man like me
Can never bother with tea or brie
I must go right to the main source
And wolf it down like a rhinoceros
But a woman like her
Can tease me with a warm hors d'ouevre
She slices and dices nicely
Which has a way of enticing me
Armed with an apron and spatula
She is a post-modern goddess of love
So why does she feed me pate'
When she knows what i'm gonna say
Complicated potatoes again?
Complicated potatoes
She spices her icings precisely
Arousing me aromatically
I had a recent rhinoscopy
So i could smell every recipe
Still she leaves me on pre-heat
When she knows that i love to eat
Complicated potatoes again
Complicated potatoes
11.You Can Buy Friends
A squat greek sips his ouzo
Fingering his gold neck chain
Robust corn-fed american beauties
Lick the salty rim of margaritas
In the corner lies a comatose musician
Dreaming on the job again
You can't buy love
But you can buy friends
Upon her breast a shiny crucifix
Holier than me i guess
Sheds friends like a snake sheds skin
Her laughter sounds so venomous
In his corner lies the once proud musician
Thinking on the job again
12.The Best Laid Plans
What happened to the sweet love you and me had
Where did all of that stuff start to go so bad
What happened to the sweet love you and me had
Where did all of that stuff start to go so bad
Out of control
Walking on the edge of my soul
Bad, out of control
The best laid plans never get laid
The best laid plans
Never get laid
13.Old Fat Cadillac
I wish i had an angel
To tell me what i should do
With all these troubles
Stuck on me like superglue
Angel, my spirit's so tired
Oh, my spirit's so tired, yeah
I wish i had an atlas
To show me where to go
To rid my self of these
Emotional clothes i've outgrown
Oh, my spirit's so tired
Angel, my spirit's so tired, yeah
But if i had an old fat cadillac
I'd sit there in the back seat and stare all day
I'd never drive my old fat cadillac
Where is there to go to get away?
'so, mr. president, what should you and i
Propose to say...about this fallout business,
Raining all over our parade.
Maybe you should sit up front and i'll sit here in the back
And we can both admire my old fat cadillac.
Look at that dash!
Look at that amazing upholstery, yes!
Think of the plans,
Think of what a man can build with his hands...
And maybe, maybe we can rent a cable t.v., yes...
And plug it right in, right here in this beautiful back seat...
And maybe mr. president,
You could fix a big martini.
Maybe you should fix a big martini, yeah'.
But if i had an old fat cadillac
I'd sit there in the back seat and stare all day
I'd never drive my old fat cadillac
Where is there to go to get away?
14.Girl With Clouds
She makes
Me wait
She turns away
She pretends she doesn't hear a word i say
She's a girl with clouds in her head
Her room,
The sky
She shuts her eyes
And she's never alone even when she's by herself
She's a girl with clouds in her head
15.Man Behind The Curtain
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
He knows what's best for you
You get what you want what you get what you want
What you get what you want what you get what you want what you.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
He knows what's best for you
I got what you need what i got what you need
What i got what you need what i got what you need what i
One two three four five
Six seven eight nine ten
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
He knows what's best for you
So pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Pay no attention pay no attention
16.Figure It Out
(arduser/belew/fetters/nyswonger)
You don't retain your calm
Either you're an anvil
Or sell me your aunt
And your car is almost gone
Figure it out
My bag's against the wall
You knocked me up,
You didn't knock me out
And i'm god about to brawl
Figure it out
Talk beheads the cat
Shoes off the couch
Or i catch a rat
But i'll rent you a riot hat
Figure it out
My bulk's across the mall
A wounded ham was an animal
And i've got a bout of gall
Figure it out
My back's against the wall
Figure it out
And i'm not about to crawl
Figure it out
