Chinatown

in the tiny tiny hours
(be) tween the evening and the day
we have placed our final bets
we have come out to play
fancy drinks a lucky toasts
i like this time the most

you're out all night
chasin' girlies
you're late to work
and you go home earlies

lookin' lost in chinatown
why are we hidin' from our friends
rushing 'round in taxi cabs
is it time to make amends
you'll get yours and i'll get mine
you can't be lucky all the time

you're out all night
chasin' girlies
you're late to work
and you go home earlies

Sideshow by the Seashore

then i painted your face
on a twenty dollar bill
but it isn't legal tender
and i think about you still
and all the comfort in words
provide no comfort
we can all go mad together
that's what friends are for

and at the sideshow by the seashore
the girls are dressed as mermaids
an electrical storm has caught us in a trap
maybe if i yell at you
you'll trust in what i'm sayin'
but i'm keepin' all the secrets
and i have nothing else to say

Moon Palace

seventeen dreams for you
they'll all be gone tomorrow
pull me a face
and say something witchy
it's time to get out of your bed

some people talk like babies
others say nothin' at all
give me a slug
from the wonderful jug
it's time to get out of your head

well we're travelin' light
gonna speed through the night
only now you recall
it means nothing at all
you were stuck in a dream
and you wanted to scream
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothin'

don't wanna go to class
said they could kiss you goodbye
you've got no choise
feel like christopher boyce
time to get out of your bed

words you don't understand
are all makin' sense tonight
it's hard to think straight
when you're feelin' so great
only wanna get out of your head

well we're travelin' light
gonna speed through the night
only now you recall
it means nothing at all
you were stuck in a dream
and you wanted to scream
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothing at all

well we're travelin' light
gonna speed through the night
but it's nothing at all
no it's nothing at all

Double Feature

shall i tell you once again
i didn't change my mind
it changed all by itself
now they say that i'm unkind
there was nothin' i could do
no decision to be made
little by little
it caught me surprise

i don't know why
i can't say how

who'm i gonna be
what am i gonna do
i've been foolin' everybody
i've been uptown at the zoo
i have seen the chimpanzes
in the afternoon sun
it's quiet at the snakehouse
and my legs are turned to jelly

i don't know why
i can't say how

who're you gonna be
when you walk into my life
i turned so sentimental
cause i have no one to talk to
over and over
it's a merry go round
it changed all by itself
don't you say that i'm unkind

23 Minutes in Brussels

left my hotel in the city
everything was clear and set
you were on your way and sittin' pretty
that was just a bait and switch

say a prayer
for you and me
say a prayer
tell me do you miss me

23 minutes in brussels
why can't they just leave us alone
are we gonna to get into a tussel
cannot take an airplane home

say a prayer
for you and me
say a prayer
tell me do you miss me
(repeat)

Lost in Space

it's true
you're lazy
you're tired
and crazy
and you know there's something more
but you can't give it a name
someone's selling all your heroes
and they seem so tame

you heard it all before
and said your case was tragic
you heard it all before
and now they say it's magic

you need
time off
for good
behavior
and you know there's something else
but you can't give a name
someone's selling all your heroes
and it seems such a shame&127

you heard it all before
you said your case was tragic
you heard it all before
and now they say it's magic

you heard it all before
they said your case was tragic
you heard it all before
and now they say it's magic

Rhythm King

your earings area dancin'
they're flyin' in circles
your janglin' jewelry
is hypnotisin'
your girldfriends met for coctails
leavin' you behind
giggles 'round the table
never you mind

wait for an answer
good things will come
good things will happen
you're gonna get some
good things are comin'
ahhhhhhh......

headin' for tacoma
and drivin' too fast
nixon's in a coma
and i hope it's gonna last
women turn to flowers
men turn to snakes
you're turnin' in to someone else
never you mind

wait for an answer
good things will come
good things will happen
you're gonna get some
good things are comin'
ahhhhhhh......

Kalamazoo

well the week is to short
but the days is so long
livin' with sick people
makes me feel so strong
and as the sun peaks in
on an afternoon drunk
all the green green bottles
but it won't last forever

nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee wah.....
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee hey-ooo......
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee wah.....
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee hey.......

well if the war is over
and the monsters have won
if the war is over
i'm gonna have some fun
and as the sun peaks in
on an afternoon drunk
all the green green bottles
but it won't last forever

nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee wah.....
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee hey-ooo......
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee wah.....
nim-nee nim-nee nim-nee hey.......

Hedgehog

it's no fun, it's no fun
reading fortune cookies to yoursself
are you a fox or a hedgehog
do you care anymore

wastin' time, wastin' time
wastin' time all the while
i don't know what you're sayin'
but i hate it anyway

a celebrity friendship
and another fashion victem
he's annoying, she's a liar
i don't know how she picked him

wastin' time, wastin' time
wastin' time all the while
i don't know what you're sayin'
but i hate it anyway

can you make time for me
would you make time for me?
i will wait patiently
it's no good
it's no fun

Freakin' and Peakin'

give me an answer
wrap it up
up to the top and back
freakin' and peakin'
loosin' touch
can't tell the wrong from wright

out on the streets
sugar in the streets
thinkin' we'd talk without speakin'
she was pointing at me
but i was pointing at you
can't tell the wrong from wright

gotta keep movin'
movin' on
before it gets too much
she was pointing at me
but i was pointing at you
can't tell the wrong from wright
