1. _ Maybe I Know
Maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do
I hear them whispering as i walk by
She's gonna break his heart and make him cry
I know it's me they're talking about
I bet they all think i'll never find out
But maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do
Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday she'll love me
Someday she'll settle down
But maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do
Oh, maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do

2. _ Wicked Little Critta
the pro is here to lead the way, to save the day
(wicked little critter)
He clips the puck from bobby orr, he shoots he scores
(wicked little critter)
As he proceeds to torch the place, as he proceeds to scorch the place
As he proceeds to torch the place, scorcher, torcher, scorcher
(wicked little critter)
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
And he pops a wheelie on his minibike
And he burns rubber, and he peels out
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
And he clips the ball from havlicek
And havlicek is used and abused
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
He decides to ditch, and he ditches
And nobody knows where he ditched
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
It's a wicked little guy
Wicked pissa little guy
Wicked scorcher little critta
He's a wicked little guy
He's a dink
Way to go
I like him
I got problems

3. _ I've Got A Fang
glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
Girlfriend took me to meet her dad
He didn't like me because i look so bad
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
Girlfriend took me to meet her mom
Her head exploded like a atom bomb
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang
Glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Hiya, hiya, hiya, hi
Don't be so jaded
I'm quite sincere
Though we may differ
You'll be right here
Top of the heap
Kings of all we survey
The last thing's a clinker
Who says it's not?
Just try your best
It's all that we've got
It's all that we've got
It's all that we've got

5. _ Mr. Xcitement
cafe con pan, cafe con pan,
Rock on my hubba, the beat is blubba
Being stingy on the pike collect the one into the otha
Careen in tandem, the sea into the landem
The people in the pix they want to scarf and dig the clamdem
Awwwwwwwww yes! mr excitement!
We nix the glaben, the knifey-knife is staben
Protrude into the hoobalicious scoff the extra aden
I write the mooky, my verse is extra spooky
Like flansy in a soda can, it's trooky-trooky-trooky
Awwwwwwwww yes! mr excitement!

6. _ Unforgotten
Don't have to be
Your only one
Don't have to be
Something from now on
Don't have to be
What i want at all
Just have to be
Unforgotten
I know your new boyfriend
And you belong with him
The truth is my one regret
The truth is my one regret
Just have to be
Unforgotten
Just have to be
Unforgotten
Don't have to know
What i'm thinking now
Don't have to know
Better days than these
Don't have to know
Where i've been so long
Just have to be
Unforgotten
I know you're leaving now
If i had figured out
Just how to be
Unforgotten
Just how to be

Stormy pinkness

Fills my jolly cup with gloom*
Your progression

Forty days this afternoon
The things we cherish are small indeed
So much the larger the need
Stormy pinkess
Set me thanklessly free

8. _ Confusing The Mind
Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind
Let's start one step at a time
Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind
Always remember, there are two diseases in any business
Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children
Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children
There's no need for confusing the mind
Or... or or filling up the mind with those little things that that

10. _ Finished With Lies
now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
I should have my head examined
They'll see when they look inside
I won't have to say a word
I'll stop thinking what i shouldn't be thinking
I'll make everyone believe me
Can't you see i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
You'll think it's a lie
Couldn't we just put away the ancient history
Throw up our hands at the unsolved mysteries
I'm going to have my head examined
I'll prove you were wrong about me
Move the needle telepathically
I'll turn everything around and confuse you
Talk faster and faster till i lose you
I'll fix it so you can't remember what was true
And there'll be nothing to remind you
Starting now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
Lies, lies
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie

12. _ Token Back To Brooklyn
The token back to brooklyn fell between the grating
And we're just watching it sinking
The fare went up to one hundred dollars
And we can never go home again
The bill collector's drinking lighter fluid
And says he'll tell our parents
Our feet start running at a furious pace
But we can't get away
Notes
The dial-a-song demo version (sometimes called "get away"):
Get away
Get away
The token back to brooklyn fell between the grating
And we're just watching it sinking
The fare went up to one hundred dollars
And we can never go home again
The fare collector's drinking lighter fluid
And claims he killed our parents
Our feet start running at a furious pace
But we can't get away

15. _ One More Parade
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street
Rollin' of the drums and the tramping of the feet
General salutes and the mothers wave and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed, light the flame
One more parade
Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed, light the flame
One more parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand
Ten thousand ears need only one command
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
Don't be ashamed, war's a game
World's in flames, so start the parade

16. _ Concrete And Clay
You, to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
You, to me
Are soft as summer in that dawning love we share
That something rare
The sidewalks and the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begin to crumble
But love will never die
You know we'll see the mountains crumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and i will be
In love eternally
That's the way
That's the way love was meant to be
All around
I see the purple shades of evening
On the ground
The shadow's fallen, once again you're in my arms
So tenderly
The sidewalks and the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begin to crumble
But love will never die
You know we'll see the mountains crumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and i will be
In love eternally
That's the way
That's the way love was meant to be
The sidewalks and the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begin to crumble
But love will never die
You know we'll see the mountains crumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and i will be
In love eternally
That's the way
That's the way love was meant to be
That's the way
That's the way love was meant to be

17. _ The Edison Museum
The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above
Folks drive in from out of town
To gaze in amazement when they see it
Just outside the gate i look into the courtyard
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
Through the iron bars, i see the black maria
Revolving slowly in its platform
In the topmost tower, the lights burn dim
A coiling filament glowing within
The edison museum, once a bustling factory
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of industry
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey
Behind a wooden door, the voice of thomas alva
Recites a poem on a phonograph
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving pictures
The loyal phantoms of his in house staff
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out
The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
The oldest, greatest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey

19. _ When Tornados Take Over The World
When tornados take over the world
There'll be no time for fretting
No fussing and complaining anymore
When tornados take over the world
You won't have your folks
To blame for all the stuff that's your fault
Your friends will be swirling
Right above your disembodied head
When tornados take over the world
All the things in the fridge
That fell on the floor will disappear
And all of your neighbors
Will be waving their flashlights at your house
Your friends will be swirling
Right above your disembodied head
When tornados take over the world

20. _ Sensurround
sensurround
When i was only a zygote
I still remember the time
When there was nothing to know or to think about
Except the sound of my mind
And the sound from outside
Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround
If mom had known she was expecting
She might have gone to see "jaws"
Instead of picking the film where the sound effects
Came right up through the floor
And i'd be differently formed
Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround
Accidentally in a coal mine
It was found
When they accidentally dug too far down
And found the sensurround
I still don't know who conceived it
Or where they got the idea
But there it was in the aisle by the exit sign
A woofer covered in wood
To shake the world when it should
Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
Made the fakeness realistic
When the action went ballistic
One degree shy of sadistic
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround
If i could swim under the water
Without having to breathe
If i could follow the trail to the ocean floor
I think i know what there'd be
Down there waiting for me
Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
Made the fakeness realistic
When the action went ballistic
One degree shy of sadistic
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround

22. _ Bangs
bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness i dig your bangs
Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head
Once with a girl i fell in love sometime ago now she had...
Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs
Bangs
Are like a pocket t-shirt
As casual as that while fully intentional
And in case you think i'm here cause i like making chit chat
Just remember what i said the money's under your hat
Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs
Bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness i dig your bangs
Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head
And although i like you anyway, check out your haircut
A proscenium to stage a face that needs no makeup
Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs

23. _ We Love All The People
We love all the people
And we love to rock the house
No one knows we're coming
So no one's coming out
To this particular rock club
Have we played this club before?
Y'see i can't remember
If we've played this club before
Put your hands together
Get on your knees and pray
Next time we come around here
We won't be back this way
Or to this particular rock club
Is that really the p.a.
Or just somebody's radio
Left in the corner of the room?

Brainwashin' our fighting boys

Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore
They're searching for the missing chimp

The missing chimp is sewing gimp with me

Brainwashin' our fighting boys

Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore
They're safe and sound
With its arms akimbo
Little legs are danglin'
In the pond, its big toe

Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore
They've been forced to live
In a land of love
Forced to live

Feel-good sublet of the summer

Four flight up and
Find yourself knowing

27. _ Reprehensible
Each night i lie awake
Completely alone
A voice is calling, and i tremble
For it's not my own
My own
I can't ignore it
Although i try
The intrusive whisper fascinates me
Here's why
Here's why
The secrets gather 'round as the voice recites
The secret history of my immortal soul
Indestructable
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
The record of my
Unspeakable crimes
In previous lives
In previous times
Indelibly stains
The pages of history
Indestructible
Indefensable
Reprehensible
Night after night a voice recites my misdeeds
And puts me to sleep
But tells me that i
Won't remember a thing
When morning comes at last
I rub my eyes
Remember nothing and thinking
Only of my plans
My plans
The world is spinning 'round and i'm on the top
And nothing in the world can ever make me stop
Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
And only i know
Who's responsible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Me

Different from the eyebrows up
Seems like only yesterday
Our d-i-v-o-r-c-e
I love you both and yuletide is pure
H-e-double-l for me
And we just go nuts at christmastime
That's when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime
But it's another year before we're together again
Hi, this is john of they might be giants
As you're driving down the highway at 100 miles an hour with your head wagging out the window,
We urge you, please, put down the phone
We just go nuts at christmastime
That's when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime

29. _ Mink Car
it's knocking off my diamond wig
Knocking me down unto the platinum ground
Woke up in a beautiful dream alone
Alone
I got hit by a mink car
Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar
And the silver chauffer says that it's all in your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead
In my dream she is reaching past my hollow core
Then her smile is the open sign on an abandoned store
I got hit by a mink car
Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar and the silver chauffer says that it's all
In your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead

Floorboards creak and footsteps heard
Headlights turn into the drive

32. _ She Thinks She's Edith Head
back in high school i knew a girl
Not too simple and not too kind
We both grew up, but i heard she'd changed
From a new wave fan to another kind
She think's she's edith head
But you might know she's not
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up
She think's she's edith head
Or helen girlie brown
Or some other cultural figure
We don't know a lot about
It's been years since i moved away
But at christmas i come home
And i saw her reflection
In the window of a store
She was talking to herself
Not too simple and not too kind
I walked on by, it was complicated
And it stuck in my mind
She think's she's edith head
But you might know she's not
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up
She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now
She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now

Relaxing on my* hands and knees
Relaxing on my* face
Reclining in the bear-trap of its tender warm embrace
Glazed with coniferous green
Glazed with excitement and dread
Exhausted from oversleep
Awake but still in bed
The shaving razor's rusty but the sting brings you exactly back to
Maine
Is** the world that went south
Maine
Is** a punch in the mouth
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine
Is the devil you know
Maine
Is the heaven below
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
I love you anyway (i love you anyway)
I promise there's no other state (there's no other state)
But only if you stay away (but only if you leave)
And leave me to my ugly state*** (me to my ugly state)
And give me back my evil heart so i can see you as you are in
Maine
Is the world that went south
Maine
Is a punch in the mouth
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine
Is the poison you love
Maine
Is the hell from above
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart

34. _ Lullaby To Nightmares
Have you ever seen a bloody egg?
Glass in hand, lying up in bed
That's the time to sing this cowardly lullaby
And you ought to know why
Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low
In the night where batwings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Wouldn't you like to try?
Have you ever heard the blackbird's song?
Summer days, all summer long
Underneath a shady tree a shadow sitting next to me
And we stare at the sun
Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low
In the night where batwings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die
Wouldn't you like to try?

Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and i can think again
I'll remember what it was
You have to carry all your things
You can't misplace them
There's nowhere to place anything
Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and i can think again
I'll remember what it was
They're all shouting something at us, waving and pointing
They revamped the airport completely now it looks just like a night club
Everyone's excited and confused
Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they start the love machine and i can love again
I'll remember what it was
Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here

38. _ South Carolina
The other day my neighbor has a dented bike
Second day he called me from intensive care
Says he needs a picture of the dented bike
For the evidence of what a wreck he had
Accident
Accident
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garcon summoned, have a new cocktail
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garcon summoned, have a new cocktail
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big south carolina wreck
I crash my bicyle
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big south carolina wreck
I crash my bicyle
And i won some damages and they were punitive
By which i mean the punishment was damaging
It crushed my head
It crushed my head
Garcon, where's my drink?
Wreck!
Observe the front wheel spinning upside down
Wreck!
The red reflector fragments strewn around
Wreck!
The back wheel's 'o' is now a letter 'd'
Wreck!
I was an 'i' and now i am a 'v'
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garcon summoned, have a new cocktail
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garcon summoned, have a new cocktail
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big south carolina wreck
I crash my bicyle
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big south carolina wreck
I crash my bicyle
If i had to do it all again, buy* bicycle
If i had to do it, i would crash my bicycle
I'd crush my head
Collect the bread
Crash my bicycle

39. _ The King Of Wingo
Long ago, in a bucket of mud
There was a newborn cell that was hungry for blood
It was conflicted by two contrary hearts
And it divided into constituent parts
Then they conflicted some more
Then the two became four
Then there were eight on the scene
And the little one screamed
I am the king of wingo
The king of wingo
Yes, i'm the king of wingo
The king of wingo
I am the king of wingo
The king of wingo
Yes, i'm the king of wingo
The king of wingo
I run the mud
I get the blood
I have the hearts
I am the parts

now every evening, all my day's work is through
I call my baby and ask her what we could do
.... she doesn't seem to dig that
And then she asks me why don't i come to her flat
And have some supper and let the evening pass by
Playing records, the sounds of groovy hi-fi
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah
My baby loves me, she gets me feelin so fine
And when she loves me, she lets me know that she's mine
And when she kisses, i feel the fire get hot
She never misses, she gives it all that she's got
And when she asks me if everything is ok
I give the answer, the only thing i could say
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah
We'll play a melody and turn the lights down low so noone can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'd be noone else alive in all the world except for you and me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's hard to tell you, because i'm trembling still
No need to ask me if everything is ok

It's hard to tell you, because i'm trembling still
But pretty baby, i want you all for my own
I think i'm ready to leave these others alone

While they were staring at the citgo sign
Is when they lost our trail
They thought we were part of a caravan
But we had other plans
You can't catch me
Where i'm gonna fall
You can't catch me
Where i'll hide
This world's too cold
This nova rolls
I'm moving to the sun
93 miles times a million more
Quite a trip we've planned
I must drive now carefully (i must drive now)
And figure where we'll land
You can't catch me
Where i'm gonna fall

42. _ Edison Museum
The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above
Folks drive in from out of town
To gaze in amazement when they see it
Just outside the gate i look into the courtyard
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
Through the iron bars, i see the black maria
Revolving slowly in its platform
In the topmost tower, the lights burn dim
A coiling filament glowing within
The edison museum, once a bustling factory
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of industry
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey
Behind a wooden door, the voice of thomas alva
Recites a poem on a phonograph
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving pictures
The loyal phantoms of his in house staff
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out
The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
The oldest, greatest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey

For time had made me wait too long
Each watch i smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch i smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
Of 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
At 25 o'clock
The ticking seconds hear them call
My spell of hours will make you fall
Each timer that i break
Will halt the flowing sands
Each timer that i break
Will put you in my hands
At 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine

Just spinning that pool cue all over the room
And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe

Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive

You could be a float for the 4th of july
Based on your theme of "wallflowers grown wild"
Look thru your peephole, you've won every prize
Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive
In your monkey suit on a cigarette break
The lunchtime crowd, they won't even blink
But you'd be sad if they did
But you'll be sad...

Salutations paint his karma, bend joints in fighting words
Got his mean streak from his mother, ha ha ha
Now love boats paint his liver, with eyes on the city lights
Collapsin' on the upbeats or relaxin' for the night
He steps into a crazy hotel, the desk clerk hands him soap-on-a-rope
What does he mean by this?
Bellhop takes his flashlight, takes john up to his room
Va-va-va-voom this is a sweet life, anthrax on the couch
We're here to entertain you, or have you seen this episode
We're the ancient order of robot dolls, we're putting you at the controls
Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel
Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel
Sports cars and the gamblin', john's winning every night
Well there's certain smells john can't repel, but momma it can't be right
He bolts awake laughing, but no one's in his room
And the big boss man doesn't understand why john can't smile no more
We're here to make you happy, that's all that we are programmed for
But you say this pleasure's a pain for you
Sebastian c. could tell you more
Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel

Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet

Making jokes about their old boyfriends

Talking about their portrayal
On t.v. where an actress sits

Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass round the picture of a mobius strip

As she runs out of things to say
And grabs my coat to walk away
How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this

Always worrying about their hair
Got tired of wasting all my time
Now i'm not worrying at all
How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this

And i could tell you, you belong with me

Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
Why then am i in bed?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head
May i direct your attention to the following simile
You're like the coasts of an ocean
Buried beneath is a submarine cable
Connecting the opposite shores that surround it
My man
How can he stand?
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle
My man won't walk again
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain
Why can't the message be sent?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head
When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean
For instance an anchor or mooring
The cable can be disrupted and even be severed
Which halts the transmission across it
There is no way to repair the break
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
My man
How can he stand?
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man

Now, in the summer of life, sweetheart
You say you love but me
Gladly i give all my heart to you
Throbbing with ecstasy
But last night i saw, while a-dreaming
, the future old and gray,
And i wondered if you'll love me then, dear
Just as you do today?
Will you love me in december as you do in may?
Will you love me in the good old-fashioned way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in december as you do in may?
You say the glow on my cheek, sweetheart
Is like the rose so sweet
But when the bloom of fair youth has flown
Then will our lips still meet?
When life's setting sun fades away, dear,
And all is said and done,
Will you arms still entwine and caress me?
Will our hearts beat as one?
Will you love me in december as you do in may?
Will you love me in the good old-fashioned way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in december as you do in may?

57. _ House Of Mayors
They are crowding the stage of these hallowed confines
Representing the parties
In here are enshrined the one hundred-odd figures of men
Wearing suits, who in sum
Constitute the assembly of the house of mayors
Stacked in columns and rows
Dressed in period clothes
Near a wig, a pince-nez affixed to a nose
And the full complement's in attendance at the house of mayors
(house of mayors)
House of mayors
(house of mayors)
House of mayors
(house of mayors)
House of mayors
(house of mayors)
House of mayors
And they're all up there, on the stage
And we're introduced to them all
And they're all still standing up there
When the last tour exits the hall
The effect is so real
That it's chilling to watch
As the creaking automatons all lurch
Into action, and act out historical deeds
And make speeches, sign legislation
And turn their heads and blink their eyes
Though the room has a faintly musty smell
You forget where you are, you are under their spell
And the spell that was cast was the ballot for the house of mayors
George finby!
Alexander whigmore!
Patrick o'barr!
Conrad spectacle!
Carl van krieg!
Antonio botton!
They are all still standing in there
In the dark in there, in the night
Similarity lurks under styles of moustache
These anemic, loyal, ???*
With a woman attending in fashion
In fashion; if some other face
Looked too much out of place
Would it spoil it for everyone else?
Some express disappointment when leaving the hall
Some feel cheated or mad--bear in mind, one and all
The next act of the show is an infinite row
Of unoccupied chairs, in a big room upstairs
In the house of the yet-to-be mayors

Ten miles from nowhere
There's a story that's true
About a fine girl
And a boy just like you
They fell so deeply
But then fell apart
Now they say the same words
Of what used to be
What used to be
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
He drops his car keys
And crawls on the ground
Finds her old haircomb
She'd wear into town
Can't bear to keep it
Or throw it away
Gets back down on his kness
Put it back where it lay
Back where it lay
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
Notes
There is a different song on dial-a-song with the same tune as this. it is titled "free bird's rebirth," and goes:
Listen dear people
To a story so sad
About a poor boy
Who never went bad
He got some chain mail
But he broke the chain
Now he must sing free bird
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again

Okay, okay, settle down everyone. okay, please, please.
Alright, it's showtime everyone. listen, i've got a story to tell.
When i first accepted the job as personal manager and stylist for they might be giants, the boys said:
"mario, integrity is everything! you keep the money. we'll live on love--the love we have for sophisticated head-bobbing music!"
But i told them, "you guys are gonna have to change everything! flansburgh, you need new clothes. that fringe jacket and platform shoes thing is completeley out! and linnell, shave the beard and get yourself a hair transplant. maybe an accordion would be good. i don't know."
Boy, were those guys mad at me. but it's all water under the bridge, now. i'll tell ya, my boys have crossed over with a look and sound all my own. i guess you could say i made them, but i prefer to think i simply own them.
Ladies and gentlemen, my boys, the only band that refuses to be a force to be reckoned with, those twin quasars of rock, let's give a warm round of applause for they might be giants!

63. _ Summer Breeze
In a summer house out on cape cod
A number of years ago
My cousin charles heard on the radio
On weei
The story of an automobile
That had driven from its garage
And killed a number of couples kissing
Down by the oceanside
Charles thought about the ocean's ways
Down the road just a mile
And as he turned off the radio
He saw with his own eyes
The very same door handle they spoke of
Hooked to that radio dial
And the summer breeze blew in the window
That hadn't been open before
So if you hear a radio
You had best beware
Be sure there's not a car around
'cause the legend still remains
There's a car without a handle
And that car is still at large
There's a car without a handle
And that car is still at large

As i dump the bottle out and i count the advil up again?
Don't interrupt me as i struggle to complete this thought
Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself
And i'm not done
And i won't be till my head falls off
Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat
And i'm hitting them again but i don't know where i put my notes
Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern i smile and face my audience
Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink
And when i lean my head against the frosted shower stall
I see stuff through the glass that i don't recognize at all
And i'm not done
And i won't be till my head falls off
Though it may not be a long way off
I'm not done talking yet
I'm not done talking yet
And when i lean my head against the frosted shower stall
I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall
And i'm not done
And i won't be till my head falls off
Though it may not be a long way off
I won't be done until my head falls off

66. _ Inside The Puppet Head
As your body floats down third street
With the burn-smell factory closing up
Yes it's sad to say you will romanticize
All the things you've known before
It was not not not so great
It was not not not so great
And as you take a bath in that beaten path
There's a pounding at the door
Well it's a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity
He says "the good old days never say good-bye
If you keep this in your mind:
You need some lo-lo-loving arms
You need some lo-lo-loving arms"
And as you fall from grace the only words you say are
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Ads up in the subway are the work of someone
Trying to please their boss
And though the guy's a pig we all know what he wants
Is just to please somebody else
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
It would be a better thing for everyone involved
And we wouldn't have to cry
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Memo to myself: do the dumb things i gotta do
Touch the puppet head
Quit my job down at the carwash
Didn't have to write no-one a good-bye note
That said, "the check's in the mail, and
I'll see you in church, and don't you ever change"
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
I'll see you after school
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

67. _ Next Plane To London
I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine
Told her i was gonna be a star
But to do it i would have to go far away
But i'll come back someday
And take her away
I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine
Said that over here i wasn't in
Down in hollywood i couldn't find a friend
Who would help me get in
Or listen to me
I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine
Maybe over there i'll get a start
Only hope by leaving i don't break her heart
The more important part
Than any record on the chart
Next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine
Next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
Whoa-whoa

68. _ I Might Be Giants Too
They might be giants
This world might go too far
I should be saving those tears
I need to know, so won't you care, do you? (they might be giants)
This world might go too far
I should be saving those tears
I need to know, so won't you care, do you? (they might be giants)
This world might go too far
I should be saving those tears
I need to know, so won't you care, do you? (they might be giants)
I might be giants, too

69. _ Hovering Sombrero
hey hovering sombrero
Gently waving in the air above the meadow
Softly floating in the sky outside the window
Hovering sombrero don't be shy
Don't... don't be shy
Don't be... terrified
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero
Time is flying like an arrow
And the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow
And it makes the pages of the calender go flying out the window one by one
Til a hundred years are on the front lawn
And the old familiar things are mostly all gone
But the old sombrero just keep hovering on
Hovering sombrero hover on
Don't be burdened by regrets
Or make your failures an obsession
Or become embittered or possessed
By ruined hopes remember
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero

70. _ Bread Hair
I'm a wigged-out daddy with bread on top
I dig an easy-bake granny with a whiskey mop
If you love me, you needn't the whole wheat crop
'cause they had a useless battle and'll never stop
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
You're drivin' all my hope away
I'm a pumpernickel-do for you, dough you do
Use a yarmulka of hallah bread if you're a jew
I belong to cayope*, i be the wheat for you
Yeast and flour, bake an hour, it's annoying shampoo
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Drivin' all my hope away
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
You're drivin' all my hope away
That's a gone rug, buddy

72. _ Hopeless Bleak Despair
i never knew what everybody meant by endless, hopeless bleak despair
Until one day when i found out
The first time i ever left my house
It saw me and followed me home
And stayed with me for my whole life
For years and years i wandered the earth
Condemned to a life of bleak despair
Then one day i looked around and found
It had disappeared
All this bleak despair
It was always there
And then one day it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day it disappeared
All i had ever wanted in my life was only to be free of it
It drove away my family
It made me lose my job
Whenever anybody saw it
They'd say get out of here
For years and years i wandered the earth
Sick of my life, looking forward to death
The one day i looked around and found
It had disappeared
All this bleak despair
It was always there
And then one day it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day it disappeared
For years and years i wandered the earth
Until i died and went to hell but my
Despair had ascended to heaven
That's how i finally got rid of it

73. _ Christmas Cards
Every christmas card i write
Every christmas card i write
Has been stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Has been stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write
On the little desk in the corner of my room
I find stolen the next day
I find stolen the next day
All of the christmas cards i write
Become stolen the next day
From my room
In my little desk in the corner of my room
Every christmas card i write
Is stolen
Is stolen
Every christmas card i write
Been stolen
From the little desk in the corner of my room
It's been stolen
Every day
Every christmas card i write
Has been stolen from my desk
I don't know why
It's been stolen
It's been stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen

74. _ Cyclops Rock
i taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind
I'm sick like chuckie was sick, my defeated heart keeps beating on
I won't die, like chuckie won't die, but i'm not here to socialize
Gotta find a new place to hang out, because i'm tired of living in hell
I'm a mess since you cut me out but chuckie's arm keeps me company
I'm a fright with my tombstone smile
All the children run away from me
Gotta find new friends to hang with because you're all afraid of me
I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind
It was sweet like lead paint is sweet but the after effects left me paralyzed
I just stare with my one glass eye hoping you won't be back again
There's a whole new generation waiting to be wrecked by you
I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind
I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind

75. _ On The Drag
You're only happy when you're sad
You're top fueled and you're bad
Parachute in your back pack and
Your knees under your chin
And your boyfriend's getting mad
At all the time you waste
Trying to put your finger on it
The allure of st. marks place
On the drag, on the drag
You're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
It's a genuine disaster
And it's come to make you king
On the drag
"i won't die until i'm dead,"
Are the first words that he said
Don't try to interrupt him,
'cause he's never gonna stop
And the time is standing still
With all this time to kill
And i'm trying to walk away
From 1st avenue to a
On the drag, on the drag
It's a genuine disaster
And we've crowned him with his crown
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting for disaster
And we crowned him with his crown
On the drag
