Love Junk

The Pursuit Of Happiness Love Junk歌詞
1.I'm an Adult Now

作詞:Moe Berg

Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite them
I've got my own reasons to drink now
I think I'll call my dad up and invite him

I can sleep in till noon anytime I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult, it's no cliche, it's the truth

'Cause I'm an adult now, I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people, they can get away with murder

I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl, boy loses girl
More like, man tries to understand what the hell went wrong

'Cause I'm an adult now, I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
I'm an adult now, woah, woah, I'm an adult now
Yeah I'm an adult now

I can't take any more illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals
Like some cheese eating high school boy

'Cause I'm an adult now, I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

Sometimes my head hurts
And sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long

For I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of people
Whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's failing
Who just can't seem to get it up

Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it but I sure don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy is screaming in a leather jacket,

Woah, I'm an adult now, I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now, woah, woah, I'm an adult now

Yeah I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
I'm an adult now, woah, woah, I'm an adult now
Ah I'm an adult now, woah, woah, I'm an adult now


2.She's So Young

作詞:Moe Berg

As much as she'd like to believe
She's leading a brand new wave
That uniform that she wears
I see it on the street every day

She looks heavenward
And struggles to find the right cliche
You've got to find your own space
Have a nice day

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question the herself
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question the world
Like I do, like I do

Like the wisdom of ages
Will flow from her tongue
This is the delusion of the young

She says she'll lead with her heart
But her heart really doesn't know at all
I'll get no satisfaction out of seein' her fall

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question herself
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question her life
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question herself
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question the world
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question herself
Like I do, like I do

She's so young
She's got the answers
She doesn't need to question the world
Like I do, like I do


3.Looking For Girls

作詞:Moe Berg

I'm looking for someone that I can play with
I don't care if she's skinny, I don't care if she's fat
As long as she goes for boys like me
'Cause I like them like that

She might be a Catholic
She might be a nurse
She might give me a child
Or gonorrhea or something worse

She might be a painter
Or a communist with my luck
But that the the kind of girls
You really want to fuck
Yeah, so I'm looking for girls

Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls

I might find her in a car
I might find her in a cave
I might pull her from a shopping mall
I might pull her from the grave

I want to kiss her lips
I want to see her dance
I want to see her wriggle and jiggle
Right out of her pants
Yeah, so I'm looking for girls

Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls

I'm looking for someone
With a voice that's true
And I'm going to be nice to her
May she'll be nice too

Then I'm going to do it
Gonna do it to her
Four hundred and eighty-seven thousand times
Yeah, so looking for girls

Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls

Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls
Looking for girls


4.Man's Best Friend

作詞:Moe Berg

He's the one, the one that you love and he's a friend of mine
And the two of you are happy together as long as the sun shines
But I'm always here to lend you a shoulder when it rains again

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend
But I'll be your man's best friend

Well, I guess it's no secret to any of us, how I feel about you
But to live it out vicariously through him is the best that I
can do
If it's true that love is only a game, well then I can play it
pretend

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend
But I'll be your man's best friend

This is not a lover's triangle 'cause I know what you see in him
Don't you know that a love unrequited is still love in the end?

He's the one, the one that you love and he's a friend of mine
And the two of you are happy together as long as the sun shines
But I'm always here to lend you a shoulder when it rains again

'Cause I'm not the kind you want for your boyfriend
But I'll be your man's best friend


5.When the Sky Comes Falling Down

作詞:Moe Berg

One night you might decide
You want to sleep so deep that you rise into the sky
One moment everything becomes clear
You want the sun to stop shining so bad
That you just close your eyes

Oh no, it's not the worst thing you can do, oh
Oh no, might be the only thing you can do
When the sky comes falling down, oh
When the sky comes falling down, oh

One morning you might look at yourself
And see your shadow has left you
And you're at the end, you're at the end
When you discover you've stopped dreaming at night
And the man that you saw as a child
Is misshapen and bent

Oh no, it's not the worst thing you can do, oh
Oh no, might be the only thing you can do
When the sky comes falling down, oh
When the sky comes falling down, yeah

One moment everything becomes clear
You want the sun to stop shining so bad
That you just close your eyes

Oh no, it's not the worst thing you can do, oh
Oh no, might be the only thing you can do
When the sky comes falling down, oh
When the sky comes falling down, yeah

When the sky comes falling down, oh
When the sky comes falling down, oh


6.Beautiful White

作詞:Moe Berg

She buys stripes and colors
She wears purple and black
Her arms jingle and jangle
Her lip kiss me, go smack

Her boots stomp and clomp to my door
The boots that cowboys wear
She's got sticky little tangles
In her big yellow hair

When she comes to me
In the dim morning light
She strips away the colors
Revealing beautiful white, beautiful white

She's got a big gray overcoat
She just dumps on a chair
But she paid a lot for those trousers
She'll handle them with more care

Bought her that sweater for Christmas
Now it lies on the floor
One black sock then another black sock
She's hidden no more, oh yeah

When she comes to me
In the dim morning light
She strips away the colors
Revealing beautiful white, beautiful white

When she comes to me
In the dim morning light
She strips away the colors
Revealing beautiful white

When she comes to me
In the dim morning light
She strips away the colors
Revealing beautiful white, beautiful white

Beautiful white
Beautiful white
Beautiful white


7.Consciousness Raising as a Social Tool

作詞:Moe Berg

She went looking for the solution
To a problem that did not exist
She found answer and she found some friends there
Consciousness raising as a social tool

She went looking for some direction
And to ease her loneliness somehow
She left her husband and she left her family
'Cause she prays to a new God now

Feeding the wonder, feeding the hunger
Feeding the need to believe
Looking for love and looking for someone
Looking for somewhere to be

She went looking for the solution
To a problem that did not exist
She found answer and she found some friends there
Consciousness raising as a social tool


8.Walking in the Woods

作詞:Moe Berg

I think it was her skirt that first attracted my eye
I looked at her shoes and then her face
She seemed soft and genuine
She smiled when she caught me so I diverted my look
When I lifted my head she was back inside her book

And I wished I could walk over and just say hello
She's the kind of girl it would be nice to know
But that's not the kind of thing that you're likely to do
On a subway train at 8.am, are you?

We walk the streets like we are walking in the woods
We walk the streets like we are walking in the woods
You never know when you see a pair of eyes
If you're seeing a friend

Two weeks later I was riding the same train
I saw her face and then I read the name
It said she'd been beaten pretty bad
There was a picture of her grief-stricken Mom and Dad

And I wondered what happened to her books and her things
If she was wearing the same skirt and those same earrings
And I'm sorry pretty girl, that I didn't get to meet you
But when you walk in the woods sometimes
The wolves are gonna eat you

We walk the streets like we are walking in the woods
We walk the streets like we are walking in the woods
You never know when you see a pair of eyes
If you're seeing a friend


9.Hard to Laugh

作詞:Moe Berg

Everyone who sees you
Thinks you should be smilin'
‽That girl, she's so pretty
That girl, she's so beguilin'”

Everyone who sees you
Thinks you should be happy
Thinks you should coo-coo her
And start actin' all sappy

But it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'

People always asks you
Why you're so serious
'Cause your woman's got a body
That would make most men delirious

Yeah, she's got a body
Of that you're painfully aware
'Cause every time you see it
You wanna pull out your hair

But you know it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
And she's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh
When you know that she's been cheatin'
Had her hands around him
She's been givin' it a beatin'

Well, it's hard to laugh
When you know that she's been lyin'
But you've got to laugh
To prevent yourself from cryin'

Hard to laugh
Hard to laugh
Hard to laugh


10.Ten Fingers

作詞:Moe Berg

Every time I see your hair falling across your face
Want to get down on my knees, pray to you, yeah
Every time I see your hands hanging loosely at your side
Ten long fingers, I just want to run and hide

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Every time I see your lips, every time I kiss your cheek
I know that soon you'll be gone and I won't see you for weeks
How do you think that makes me feel, knowing that you're out
there
Wondering where you're going and wondering who you're seeing

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Sometimes I get like a restless dog, I wander the streets
Looking for someone who can block you out of my mind
Sometimes I wish I'd never, I wish I'd never heard your name
Wish I'd never felt your legs wrapped around me

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
Is that the way it feels for you?
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me

Feels for you
Feels for you
Feels for you
That's the way it feels for me


11.Tree of Knowledge

作詞:Moe Berg

He takes a bite of the apple
And a vision appears
He follows the light until the image is clear
He sees her porcelain beauty
Against another man's skin

He hears her moaning
A way she hadn't for him
With grotesque fascination
He watches until they fall still
He burns with the knowledge of good and evil

He feels like he's falling, falling
Out of grace and into knowledge
He watches with dry eyes
Eyes that have changed
One final memory of the vision remains

Her playful body enjoying the sweet taste of sin
The dance of love that's now foreign to him
Day turns to night and night turns to day
He puts the illusions of his childhood away
With the new understanding, he builds a world of his own
Outside the garden, he finds the will to go on
