Motel California [1996]

Dialogue
I got no use to call you
I got no reason to miss you at all
I can't pretend I love you
Although you got me by the balls
I got no use
I got no use
I ain't got time to kill you
Spend too much time behind these walls
I can't pretend I love you
Although you got me by the balls
You weave your web around me
And all your eyes confuse me
You drain my balls beneath me
And then you try to eat me

Sandwich
She was a good witch
She was a bad witch
But all I really wanted was a mother fuckin' sandwich
A bandit left handed
The woman drove me crazy
But I couldn't understand it
You could try to break me, take me
But you'll never understand
You could funnel, tunnel
But you'll never truly comprehend
That's what I say
You could bleed me, feed me
But you'll never truly be my friend
You could move me, move me, move me
But you'll never see the end
That's what I say
A fish over here, a fish over there
Here a fish, there a fish
Everywhere a mother fuckin'
Fish over here, a fish over there

Would You Like to Be There
Somewhere the evening sun
Is falling down, the day is done
How I'd like to be there, how I'd like to share
Somewhere the darkness frowns
And hides behind the ones in doubt
Would you like to be there, would you like to share
With me, 'cause my arms are stretched a mile wide
Under the ocean floor, the sand is crawling up the shore
How I'd like to be there, 'n how I'd like to share
Under the western sky, the days are slowly passing by
Would you like to be there, would you like to share
With me, 'cause my arms are stretched a mile wide, yeah
The more you see, the more you know
The more you see, the more you know
The more you see, the more
Somewhere the songbird sings, but hears there's no-one listening
How I'd like to be there, 'n how I'd like to share
Out in the blackened sea, there's unison and harmony
Would you like to be there, would you like to share
With me, 'cause my arms are stretched a mile wide
The more you see, the more you know
The more you see, the more you know
The more you see

Little Red Man
American flag wraps round the pole
And the little red man is taking control
The man with the puppet
Starts to juggle your dreams
And the world that you live
May not be what it seems
Hold onto sorrow, it constantly lies
And the things that I thought always kept me in stride
Smoke cigarettes till the light came to see
Read the fine print on the wrong guaruntee
Little red man
You're kind of young
Now it's time to retreat
You're the right people, the wrong ones for me
Some turn to apples and lemons of spice
Wings of tomorrow will swallow your pride
I'm just a dreamer, swimming in my mind
I'm just a dreamer in my mind
I'm just a dreamer, laughing into mine
I'm just a dreamer in my mind
Drinking the sunlight
The salt from the sea
You're the wrong people, the right ones for me
Circular motions and things that are found
Wings of tomorrow you won't hear a sound

Bicycle Wheels
Life is to be lived on the positive tip
Never lose the ground
You never gonna slip
If you never lose the ground
Always draw the line
Never wear the frown
Should've got myself some bicycle wheels
Should've got myself some bicycle wheels
Should've got myself some bicycle wheels
On the wings of steel
There's dinosaur's in countries
Everyone that I've seen
There's dinosaur's in countries
If you know what I mean
I always keep a watch on the ever changing future
Doing what I want
And you could do what suits you
I said throw your hands in the air
I like to see your armpit hair
Throw your hands in the air
I like to see your armpit hair
Life is to be lived on the positive tip
I'll never lose the ground
You know I'm never gonna slip
Never gonna slip, cause I never lose the ground
Always draw the line
You know I never wear the frown

Father
Beat me down, one more time
Words of love, hard to find
Gotta find my mother, she won't lie
Where the hell's my father
Farther, farther
You like to lie
Swimming in the water
One last time
Imagination cross my mind
I beat the bush, I beat the bush
Shove me down
Where the hell's my father
Farther, farther
You like to lie
Father, old man, can you find me
Father, old man, do you care
Father, old man, can you find me
Do you care
Father
You like to lie

Undertow
The pain is gone
The rain and storm they stumble down
The sun disguised again today
The wagon rolls, it's axis bound
Another bottle cracked today
The game moves on
The people push and move so hard
Where now don't those flavors go
Answer now
Your questions move like undertow
Off to find your island now
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows
Everybody's laughing
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows
Too long today
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows

Shine
Just a grain of sand on a thousand beaches
Just like dust in the wind
Try to understand why I go to pieces
Don't know where to begin
Got a smokin' hand, nobody knows plan
But I can feel it, it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything
I'm gonna have to get it out of my head
Got a screaming hand, shadows are all my friends
Cause they conceal me when I overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads
I still shine
Got a smokin' hand, no one can understand
But I can feel it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads

Strange
All the way from across the sea
From the man to you, from the man to me
Four white sticks with good intentions
Feed the flame for my protection
I want to know what you want
To find what I don't
But now it's yesterday
Falling down a broken spiral
Heed the flame for no tomorrow
Back up on your feet again
Hold my hand, I'll be your friend
Cause the leaves are falling, falling down
Falling down again

12 Cents
Watching, waiting
You know it shouldn't take this long
Leaning, forward
I know it couldn't possibly take much longer
I know the pain moves on
And I feel the same for the wrong
Angels, walking, floating on and on
Breathing, eloquent
I know it couldn't possibly wait much longer
Searching, so long
I know we'll find a way
Reaching all alone
I know they couldn't possibly hate much longer

Menace to Sobriety [1995]

God

God, please push me in the right direction
God, I'm hoping that you'll understand
God, I'm trying to make amends now
God, I'm asking for your guiding hand
Everybody's got the wrong opinion
Everybody says what's on their mind
Everybody's got the wrong tradition
Everybody pray to the man
God, I'm reading in your holy books now
God, I'm singing and I'm not afraid
God, I'm looking for the only way out now
God, I'm hoping that I can be saved
Everybody's got the wrong religion
You won't say what's on your mind
Some won't hear why others listen
Everybody pray to the man
Why don't you ever answer questions
Now my faith is slipping away
I'm looking in a different direction
Believing is the only way
Everybody's got their own tradition
(everybody's got the wrong religion)
Everybody's got their own salvation
(everybody's got the wrong submission)
Everybody's got their own religion
(everybody's got the wrong tradition)
Everybody pray to the man

Tomorrow's World
You don't even know me
You don't even care
I've got something for you
You must this beware
Don't say that it's over
I'm still a part of you
Our love is eternal
Hope in tomorrow's world
Your life's getting closer
Will you make the grade
Slowly going nowhere
Will you die afraid?
Everybody dies

Clover
I'm, protected by the leaves of the four leaf clover
And i, refuse to die for you
And i, was tempted but the apple made me stronger
And i, spit it up on you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you
I'm infected by the lies that made me colder
And i, I put my trust for you
Time has passed me by, my soul is getting stronger
And i, I never lie for you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you
I'm protected by the leaves of a four leaf clover
And i, I never lie for you
And i, expect to die for my life won't live much longer
And i, I never lie for you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you

C.U.S.T.
I'm frank sinatra in a rock 'n roll band
I'm a hevayweight demon with a heavyweight plan
I'm uncle sam with a joint in my mouth
And my v8's floored when I headed down south
This ain't hell, sure ain't heaven
Pull on over to the seven eleven
Stop rich now, pontiac here
Big blue love budweiser beer
Can't you see them
Can't you see them
Gi joe I'm stretch armstrong
Every blade of grass I'm the water in the bong
I'm aqua man I'm the devil with a grin
Ambidextrous now 'cause I use both limbs
East palo alto, age 26
Full love circle not one love missed
A1 liquor, berone's too
Crown royal, no. 502
Can't you see them
Can't you see them
August 27th on a calendar scale
And on this day I went to jail
The blue man on my trip and on my ride
See I gotta go and will I survive
I'm the man and I do and I don't
I'm the man and I will and I won't
I'm the man and I could not lie
Why most should live now some should die

Milkman's Son
Let the burning bridges tumble down
Let the water come and flood the ground
Burn a hole into the southern sky
I only wanna be walking by your side
When I see tomorrow I see you there
When I look around I'll see you everywhere
Your face is etched into my mind
When it's all said and done
I'm feeling like the milkman's son
Let your darkest spirits fly away
Come again but you won't come today
Spend the last time of my worthless job
I only wanna be walking by your side
I'm feeling like the milkman's son
Said I'm feeling like the milkman

Suckerpath
I've got the hair
I've got the teeth
I've got the eyes
Well peggy, take a look outside the window
I've got the car
I'm the lead singer
I'm the man
She, she come to me and set me free
That makes me feel good
She, she's new york grown I'm all alone
She makes me feel good
Never going down a suckerpath baby
She, she makes me real and sex appeal
That makes me feel good
She, she fills my soul, it makes me whole
That makes me feel good
Never going down a suckerpath baby
Now all day as you're calling me lazy
Never going down the suckerpath baby
Never go down never go down
She treats me like a foolish child
And laughing all the while
Makes me wanna be alive
She sees me in a different light
And knows I'll be alright
Makes me wanna be alive
All the things I could have said
Some days now I wish I'm dead
A foolish child an awesome dream
I think you know just what I mean
Never going down a suckerpath baby
Come on come on
You don't want to ride me I don't even care
You don't even move my style now
I don't even care now

Cloudy Skies
Well, they keep on taking my heart
And they keep on taking my soul
They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile
And now it seems it's been a while since anyone smiled
They don't know me
They don't know me
But my name is on the highway sign, never look behind
All those troubles are gone, nothing left but to run
So meet me down and don't be shy
A place where we can hide
There ain't nothing to fear
There ain't no-one back here
But you and I and these cloudy skies
So it's time to leave our home
And see the faces we've out-grown
Through the years we've kept our backs to the wind
So long, farewell, good-bye my friend

Jesus Rode a Harley
My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the lord must have seen me with his big red eyes
So I stepped out to the clouds
The holy father was getting down
And as I ordered a round of drinks
He said I got a little story tell me what you think
Moses used to sniff the lines
Noah used to rock the boat sometimes
Mary used to get undone
Jesus rode a harley davidson
All the angels were gathered around
Leather boots and lace night gowns
And one started to kiss my feet
She said the lord got a red light on at every street
My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the lord must have seen me with his big red eyes

V.I.P.
Shut up, talking out your ass
With your fake-ass grin and your backstage pass
Front row at every single show
But your heart's in the wrong place
It's in the rat race
I don't know what you're trying to prove
Always fucking at my band
When we're laying down a fat groove
I got no jealously not towards security
Why are you always bringing me
Stay the fuck away from me
I'm talking to you v.i.p.
I'm talking to you
I know the power you possess
Playing cool rock for the all access
Big which, it's jealousy
I see that your heart's in the wrong place
You can't follow me
I don't know why you're kissing my ass
Cause as soon as I turn my back you start stabbin'
I'm reality, you can't just even bother me
I'm the one they came to see
Stay the fuck away from me
I'm talking to you v.i.p.

Oompa
In the beginning
Had to pay for all man sins
Oompa doompa doopady doo
I've got another riddle for you
When you lie in your bed
We'll come in, kill you dead
Oompa doompa doopady doo
I've got another coming for me
If you lie, if you cheat
You'll lie dead, watch your fate
The power of metal, never forget

Candle Song
Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
So now I'm sailing on the oceans so wide
I'm all alone, me and my daydreams and i
Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
So I'm the captain my ship's got a hole in the side
I'm all alone, me and my daydreams at night
Can you see me walking through the trees
Can you hear me laughing in the breeze
Can you see me walking through the trees
Can you hear me laughing in the breeze
Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
Across the water I watch my ship waves goodbye
I'm all alone me and my daydreams at night

As Ugly As They Wanna Be [1991]

Madman
Disneyland is the place to be,
c'mon baby, just you and me
Hand in hand, to Disneyland,
we go ! Not slow
Happiest place, in the world until a madman grabs a girl;
Hand in hand, with the madman she goes ! Oh oh !

Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
madman is loose... in Disneyland. (in Disneyland)

Come here little girl if you wanna see, Peter Pan's Magic
Flight on L.S.D.
Up and down, all around, we go ! Whoa oh !

Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
madman is loose... in Disneyland. (in Disneyland)

Madman is loose in Disneyland, he's back here by popular de-
mand
Madman is loose in Disneyland, he'll take no shit but he'll
take your head!

Surprise, Surprise, I'm comin' at ya' live
I sure as hell ain't Mickey Mouse, I'm a killer in disguise
You can run and you can hide
But you ain't gettin' away 'cause I got you in my sight

Axe wieldin', child stealin'
I'm a mad motherfuckin' man and I'm loose!... in disneyland!

have you heard the news, madman sure is loose
Got you by the noose, have his way with you
Nothin' you can do, headlines in the news
Madman sure is loose, in Disneyland

Disneyland is the place to be, in California, by the sea
Sunny day, well A.O.K., for now, and how

Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
madman is loose... in Disneyland. (in Disneyland)

Whiplash Liquor
Suburban white alcoholic trash
We ain't glam and we ain't trash
We're victims of a society
That fucks with me about sobriety

They say don't drink this and don't drink that
'cause it does a little more than just make you fat
It's a serious disease that you learn about in school
And if your dad's an alcoholic you'll be one too

Mom and dad don't have a clue
The one-fifty-one is now eighty proof
And all the times I borrowed the car
Not as a ride but as a shitface bar

Fuck yeah! I got the venom in my veins
God damn! This shit is drivin' me insane
Boo ya! I ain't ever gonna be the same
Whiplash liquor, sure is quicker
Makes you sicker, it's the best!

Weekend comes and my parents are gone
It's time to party once I mow the lawn
Havin' fun ain't that a fact
It's rock 'n' roll in the cul-de-sac!

Invite everyone and your neighbors too
It's gonna be a whacked out rock 'n' roll zoo
But don't be blabbin' it around my mother
But invite everyone and your skate rat brother

Fuck yeah! I got the venom in my veins
God damn! This shit is drivin' me insane
Boo ya! I ain't ever gonna be the same
Whiplash liquor, sure is quicker
Makes you sicker, it's the best!

Too Bad
Too many times I've seen your kind
Washed upon the shore
Too many times you locked me out
Johnny knockin, knocking at your door

You're looking past the mirror
Yes you've reached the other side
You're striving for the pinnacle
But you're holding on too tight

And when you hold the ticket
For your one way ride
You wonder where you're going
And you can't hide

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
What you gonna do
Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
Now your time is through

So many highs and lows right now
What are we to do
You know we're trying so damn hard
Johnny just to try and talk to you

You're swimming in an ocean
It's so black and cold
I feel you got the notion
And it's eating at your soul

And when you hold the ticket
For your one way ride
You wonder where you're going
And you can't hide

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
What you gonna do
Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
Now your time is through

She said, she knew the answer
He was falling - a falling faster
Round and round and round - no where to go
Someone had to help the boy
He said no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

So many mixed emotions
And they're driving you insane
A grip on some reality
Silence quiet on your window pain

You're looking past the mirror
Yes you've reached the other side
You're striving for the pinnacle
But you're holding on too tight

Everything About You
I, hate the rain and sunny weather
And I, hate the beach and moutains too
(and) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
And I, I, I, hate the country side too!

And I, hate everything about you!
...everything about you!

I don't like a thing about your mother
And I, I hate your daddy's guts too
I, don't like a thing about your sister
'cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too.

And I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around
I, hate everything about you!

everything about you, everything about you, everything about
you

Some say I got a bad attitude
But that don't change the way I feel about you
And if you think this might be bringing me down
Look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown!

I don't really care about your sister
Fuck the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her

One thing that I did to your lady
Put her on the bed and she didn't say maybe
I know you know everybody knows
The way it comes, the way it's gonna' go

You think it's sad
And that's too bad
'cause I'm havin'
A ball hatin'
Every little thing about you!

Everything about you, everything about
I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you

Funky Fresh Country Club
Funky fresh tunes
And you're walking down the street
And you're trying to find the girl
That you really want to meet

You're flying past the reef
And you're drinking shrunking heads
You wake up in the morning
And you wish that you were dead

As you stagger home
In the blackest form of night
The rollers out in force baby
They're looking for a fight

You try to play the game
You try to pass the test
But the only thing in sight baby
Is the sight of your arrest

Jail cell - living hell
Cains off me I'm free
Doing time - one more time
Mine, all mine, all mine

Now the country club is cold
And the country club is mean
The attendants at the country club
Ain't something to be seen

If you're messing with my girl
You're messing with your life
Cause I'm gonna cut you
With a big, big knife
You bet your fuckin' life!

Now as you stagger home
In the blackest form of night
The rollers out in force baby
They're looking for a fight

You try to play the game
You try to pass the test
But the only thing in sight baby
Is the sight of your arrest

Jail cell - living hell
Cains off me I'm free
Doing time - one more time
Mine, all mine, all mine

I wanna tell you a story baby
I hope you wanna hear
I wanna tell you a story baby
I hope you wanna hear

Going downtown in the back of a car
Some motha'fucka' left the door ajar
Remember what your parents said
Be home by eight and in your bed

Now as you stagger home
In the blackest form of night
The rollers out in force baby
They're looking for a fight

You try to play the game
You try to pass the test
But the only thing in sight baby
Is the sight of your arrest

Jail cell - living hell
Cains off me I'm free
Doing time - one more time
Mine, all mine, all mine

America's Least Wanted [1991]

Neighbor
Sittin' in your front yard, drinkin' lemonade
Suburban life, a pretty wife, you think you've got it made
But you don't know, what's in store, for you and your family
I'm movin' in, right next door, won't you welcome me?
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I hope I didn't ruin your day
Won't you be my neighbor?

I brought my life, my ugly wife, my dirty dog with fleas
My kid's a punk, and I'm a drunk, this I'm sure you'll see
Yeah you don't know, what it's like, to live in misery
Welcome to, home sweet hell, dissatisfaction guaranteed
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And if I could I surely would
Invite you in and say
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?

C'mon I don't think you'll find
A place to live in peace of mind
You're gonna live in misery
When you're livin' next to me
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...aaaah
Won't you be my, won't you be my funky(fuckin') neighbor?

Well I drink, and I stink, I smoke, yeah I'm a joke
I try all night and day to get a piece of the action, a-haa
And you should know by now you're never gonna forget, a-aaa
Now I know just what you're thinkin'
It could be out 'n' you're drinkin'
So don't you knock it until you try it
It could be you in a little while
I hope I didn't ruin your day

Cool ending bit
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I dig your wife, she sure is good
It's a beautiful day in the neighboorhood... ha, ha, ha

Goddamn Devil
Rape, D.U.I., assult and battery
These are things that will bring you to me
Murder and theft and all of the above
You can bet your life I know what you're thinking of
I've takin' you and I'll take your friends
Don't worry, we'll all meet in the end
'Cause life's a bitch and then you die
Trust me baby cause I don't lie

I'm the Goddamn Devil, this job pleases me
I'm the Goddamn Devil and I do it for free

I know the story about your life
If you killed your brother or you beat your wife
And I am here to punish you
You can't fool me cause I ain't no fool
The time has come to say goodbye
The end is here for those who cheat, steal and lie
There will be torture and there will be pain
Cause this is hell, baby, die in flames.

I'm the Goddamn Devil, this job pleases me
I'm the Goddamn Devil, Satan if you please
I'm the Goddamn Devil, this job pleases me
I'm the Goddamn Devil, and I do it for free

I don't care about you, don't care about your life
Don't care about your children or about your wife
I'm here to do my job so if you broke the law
You're checking in with me
But you can never leave....

There's one way out if you dare
We'll make a deal, you'll grow your hell
As Satan's child you'll start a band
And spread the word across the land

I'm the Goddamn Devil, this job pleases me
I'm the Goddamn Devil, Satan if you please
I'm the Goddamn Devil, better believe in me (only me)
I'm the Goddamn Devil!

Come Tomorrow
About the time I'm eight years old
I met the Devil, kept my soul
Walkin' out on lakes of fire and I'm gone
Walkin' in a wonderland
And I don't really understand
The place I'm comin' to right now today

Chorus
Come tomorrow, you could see the light
Come tomorrow, break it right down to the place you were before

Fifteen years on down the line
I guess you'd say I'm doin' fine
Wandering down that same old road again
Walkin' in a wonderland
But Alice doesn't understand
The place she's comin' to right now today

Chorus

On your knees, you'll be begging me please
As you feel the disease
You're going down again tonight

See me runnin', watch me fall
I guess you'd say I've finally found my own,
See me cryin' and wonder why
I guess you'd say its time to die today

Chorus

Panhandlin' Prince
Sittin' on a rusty park bench baby
Not much else to do
Smoke cigarettes and rink my Mickey's
Fine malt liquor brew
As I start drinkin' and I start thinkin'
That death is on my side
If my heart stopped beatin', the street kept reekin'
That's suicide.... that's right!

I grew up in the inner city
A dark part of this town
Just another innocent backwoods victim
Society like to put down
You can call me a boozer, or call me a loser
It really doesn't matter to me
I got a bench for snoozin', some sauce to keep boozin'
That's all I neeed

Chorus
I keep it comin', sometimes I don't know why
I'm gonna do it 'til the day i die

Consider me the duke as I dine in your dumpster
Unsanitary engineer
Baron of the bench the panhandlin' master
Well, I'm pullin' twenty G's a year
I know it ain't much but at least I'm in touch, yeah
With reality
And I wouldn't trade no places to be in rat races
No siree!

Chorus

Yo, Mr. Trump, can I ask you a question
You got some spare change for me sucker?
'Cause I'm down and out and there ain't no doubt
That I am here to stay

Yeah you see me lyin' with my brothers
In the gutter with my paper bag in hand
Yeah the streets are cold but at least
There's soul and that's all I need!

You'll take away my peace of mind
You'll leave me there to rot and die
But look again, my careless friend
The world you live is just a lie
It's a give and take, the more the fake
The more the pain, the more you lose
Live your life, don't take no sides
N'seize the day and drink your booze!

Busy Bee
Everybody's alright with me
Possibly you'll disagree
Busy Bee watch the world go by

Everybody's alright with me
That's just the way I choose to be
Everybody's on my mind
Can't sit aside and watch this world go by
That ain't me

Chorus X2
Busy Bee watch the world go by

Everybody does their time
The people walk in crooked lines
Everybody's got their choice
But often we don't use our voice

Chorus X4

Busy Bee watch the world go by
How could you be so blind?
Some people they just ain't satisfied
Watch the world go by

I always hear the school bell ring
Let the children dance and sing
Just let us find what's been lost
So many people get torn and tossed away

Chorus X3

World go bye X3
Watch the world go bye X3

Nice ending bit
Everybody's alright with me

Don't Go
Chorus
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, next time I need you
Baby please don't go

Remember when I met you
School dress on
I never could forget you
And Baby now you're gone

I'm goin' around, around today
Just tryin' to find the truth
It doesn't really matter anyway
When I'm livin' without you

Chorus

I said come on little darlin'
Baby don't you see
I'd never do you harmin', no
It's just you and me

I'm in the corner right now
Waiting for your love
You better make your choice now
Before a push comes to a shove
Yeah things seem kinda different
It ain't the way it was
Remember what your mama said
The bond that lies is us

Chorus

I'm by the phone, I'm all alone
Just waitin' and a prayin' that maybe you'll call
I gotta know right now, should I stay around, should I stay a while
Should I stand here crying or baby should I fly - yeah!

Oh come on darlin', Don't you se and don't you know,
I gotta have your lovin', now now I'll never let you go
Tryin' to find that girl of mine
She's so far away
And I am cryin' - yeah!

So Damn Cool
I wanna know, why the people are everywhere... and...
I wanna know, where to go if I get scared... and...
I wanna be, in a place where no one cares, and...

I, I, I wanna know you!
'Cause you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!

I wanna feel like I'm floatin' in the air... and...
I wanna know if the sun'ss gonna bleach my hair... and
I wanna know why life's so unfair and...

I wanna know you!
Because you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!

Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me!
And who knows if I'm feelin' all right!
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me
Who knows what is runnin' around in my brain

Now that I'm done and I seen it
And don't think that I'm tryin' to complain
Don't think I'm lyin' 'cause I mean it
n' all you people out there don't look at me to lay
all of your blame 'cause you need me
and you want me to go down
in flames with the rest
But I'm so sick of denyin'
What is runnin' around in my brain

Same Side
It doesn't matter who you are
Or what you're gonna be
People from all walks of life
You gotta have diversity
We're all in this together
And together we shall be
You gotta be a friendly neighbor
If you're gonna live next to me
We're all

Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Walkin' down the same streets
The streets that are all around

You could be my brother
Or you could be my friend
But don't turn your back on me
Cause we'll be here 'til the end
Yeah, we're all in this together
And we all have that dream
To live in perfect harmony
Like a family that's the scene
Yeah, we're all...

Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Walkin' down the same streets
The Streets that are all around
Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Shufflin' to the same beat
The beat that's all around

Stumblin' down on D.P., keggers all around,
Laughin' at the police as they try to take us down
Hangin' with each other, yeah hangin' with our bro's
We all love one another, from our heads down to our toes

Cats in the Cradle
My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you."

Chorus
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon.
"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I don't know when. We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw?"
I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do."
He said, "That's okay." And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
"You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

Chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?"

Chorus

I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you."
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

Chorus

I'll Keep Tryin'
If I had the time and lotsa money
The I'd take you 'round the world
'N' if I had a dime for every penny
Then I'd buy you diamonds girl
You don't even know how much I love you
And how much I wanna be...
Your knight in shining armor, yeah, baby
THat's good enough for me...

Chorus
And I'll keep tryin'
Yeah I'll keep tryin', to make you mine
...mine all mine
I hope you're buyin', I hope you're buyin'
All of my lines

Now if I was the king and had a castle
Then you'd surely be my queen
We would live up in the tallest tower
And we rarely would be seen
You don't even know how much I need you
And how much you mean to me
I'm dog without a bone hear me cryin'
And it's time for you to see that...

Chorus

Everything About You
I, hate the rain and sunny weather,
and I, hate the beach and mountains too;
(and) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
and I, I, I, hate the countryside too!

Semi-Chorus
and I, hate everything about you!
... everything about you!

I, don't like a thing about your mother,
and I, hate your daddy's guts too,
I, don't like a thing about your sister,
'cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too.

Chorus
and I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around,
I, hate everything about you!
Everything about you,
Everything about you,
Everything about you!

Some say I got a bad attitude,
but that don't change the way I feel about you,
and if you think this thought might bring me down,
look again 'cause I ain't wearin' no frown!

I don't really care about your sister
Forget the little bitch cause I already kissed her

One thing that I did to your lady
I put her on the bed and she didn't even say maybe
I know you know everybody knows
the way it comes, the way it's gonna go
You think it's sad,
And that's too bad,
'Cause I'm havin'
A ball hatin'
Every little thing about you!

Everything about you, Everything about...
I, get sick when I'm around
I, can't stand to be around
I, hate everything about........... you! hehe

Madman '92 Re-Mix
Disneyland is the place to be, c'mon baby, just you and me;
Hand in Hand, to Disneyland, we go! Not Slow;
Happiest place, in the world 'til the madman grabs a girl;
Hand in Hand, with the madman, she goes! Oh oh!

Chorus
Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin',
Madman is loose.... in Disneyland (in Disneyland)

Come here little girl if you wanna see, Peter Pan's magic flight on L.S.D.
Up and down, all around, we go! Whoa oh!

Repeat Chorus

Madman is loose in Disneyland; He's back here by popular demand;
Madman is loose in Disneyland; He'll take no lip but he'll take your head!

Surprise, Surprise, I'm comin' at ya' live;
I sure as hell ain't Mickey Mouse, I'm a killer in disguise
You can run and you can hide;
But you ain't gettin' away 'cause I got you in my sight;

Axe Wieldn', child Stealin';
I'm a mad mother and I'm loose!... in Disneyland!

Have you heard the news, madman sure is loose,
Got you by the noose, have his way with you;
Nothin' you can do, headline in the news,
madman sure is loose in Disneyland.

Disneyland is the place to be, in California, by the sea;
Sunny day, were A.O.K., for now, and how;

Repeat Chorus

Mr. Recordman
Chorus
Mr. Recordman, do you know who I am?
Mr. Recordman, do you really think I can?

I've takin' a likin' to your game
I think we all, we feel the same
Is this a dream or is it real
You say you want to cut a deal?

Chorus

Don't need much time to think about
I'm sure that you have got the clout
I only hope that you're my friend
And stand by me until the end

Chorus

Sell a lotta records 'n' tour 'round the world,
Make a lotta money 'n' meet lotsa' girls
Mr. Recordman, do you really think I can?

It sound like music to my ears
I've dreamed of this for many years

Sell a lotta records 'n' tour 'round the world,
Make a lotta money 'n' meet lotsa' girls
Have a lot of fun and hang with my bro's
'Cause these boys and this band is all that I know

If not for the money and not for the show
Are you here for me or here for the dough?
Mr. Recordman, do you really give a damn?
