unknown

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

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

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!

Stormy pinkness
Human weakness
Fills my jolly cup with gloom*
Your progression
My digression
Forty days this afternoon
The things we cherish are small indeed
So much the larger the need
Stormy pinkess
Set me thanklessly free

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

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

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

And now you're even older
And now you're even older

You're older that you've ever been

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?

Mrs. cinderella
Please don't pound on my chest
I can not see you now
I can not have seen you before

When it turns twelve o'clock
I'll be back by myself
And you'll be back in his arms
As mrs. somebody else

Mrs. cinderella
Please don't knock down my door
You've been around the world
And i've been around my block

When i hear you say (when i hear you say)
I hear somebody talking (i hear somebody talking)
And when i hear you talking (and when i hear you talking)
I hear somebody say (i hear somebody say)

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

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
Dead

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

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

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?

The urge to take you grows more strong
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
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
At 25 o'clock

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
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
'til the end of time
'til the end
'til the end of time

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
You can't catch me
Where i'll hide
This world's too cold
So i'm gunna run
I'm moving to the sun

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
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

And pretty baby, i never knew such a thrill
It's hard to tell you, because i'm trembling still
No need to ask me if everything is ok
I've got my answer, the only thing i can 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

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
No need to ask me if everything is ok
I've got my answer, the only thing i can say
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah

I find it hard to believe
I find it hard to believe
That i'm embarassed at me
For being upset
Over acting so contemptuously (i find it hard to believe)
Acting so contemptuously (i find it hard to believe)
Acting so contemptuously (that i'm embarassed at me)
Acting so contemptuously (that i'm embarassed at me)
(for being upset over acting so contemptuously)
Acting so contemptuously (acting so contemptuously)
Acting so contemptuously (on me)
I find it hard to believe

i'll take back my pinata it's wasted on you
Just spinning that pool cue all over the room
And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe

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

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...

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

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
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

To follow orders coming down from headquarters
My man
How can he stand?

Completely covered in uninteruppted skin

Why i'd break his leg
I'd kill myself if i was somebody else
I'm feeling so beside myself

To paging mr. right*
Please to move your van
She thinks of him especially
I think he's kicking sand

In my face, just like in that ad
And i had to walk away feeling mad
To paging mr. right
Please to move your van

So i'm shaking down cupid 'cause i'm feeling so mad
I'd break his leg
I'd kill myself if i was somebody else
I'm feeling so beside myself

No, i'm shaking down cupid 'cause i'm feeling so mad
Why i'd break his leg
I'd kill myself if i was somebody else
I'm feeling so beside myself

Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet
And wish they could go home

Operators are standing by
Poking holes in the ceiling tiles
Making jokes about their old boyfriends

Operators are standing by
Talking about their portrayal
On t.v. where an actress sits
With a headset in outer space

That's enough talking, ladies

Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass round the picture of a mobius strip
And wish they could go home

And wish they could go home

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

Free bird
Free bird

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

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in the driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep
Half the boy and nothing else
You were once my sole desire
You could've built me up, but you made me lie to you
You never took me serious
And my heart betrayed my every word
Now love's not only for the curious
You said the writing's on the wall
Well, i should know 'cause i wrote it all

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in that driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep
Half the boy and nothing else
I wish that i could land in jail
I wish that you could set my bail for me
You always took me serious
And my heart conveyed my every word
Now love is only for the curious
I said the writing's on the wall
But you should know 'cause you wrote it all

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in the driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep

I need some lovin'
Some turtle-dovin'
To dry the ocean
Of tears running down my spine

I need some kissing
But i know you're listening
To all the radios
That tune in to read my mind

They say
Loose lips
Fat cheeks
White teeth
Big hair
Brass bed
With a sign that reads
Nobody rides for free

I need a honey
To spend my money
To call my phone machine
And hang me up at night

I need some lovin'
Some turtle-dovin'
To dry the ocean
Of tears running down my spine

i've been working hard, trying to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair and practicing my stare
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And i'm working undercover for the man

Planning midnight raids on our unsuspecting fans
While the roadies rig the video surveillance van
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And i'm working undercover for the man
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

Yes, i loved him like my brother
I loved him ambiguously
There's no way to measure the damage he has done

Counterfeit faker
Carries a grudge

Nervous, i walk through windows
I walk through a plate glass door
Silent, his presence mocks me
And draws me on some more

Counterfeit faker
The damage has been done

The damage has been done
The damage has been done
Counterfeit faker
Bring him on

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

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

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

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

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
