Platinum Collection

We don't wear that uniform;
Paper men from pages torn right off the press (it could be tass):
Suits for the regime.
The media's gone and had a baby.
Seventh wave, another navy.
I live in america: gridlock on the street.
Tell that girl you like her badge.
Tell that man you're the nazz.
Tell them you're not the last walking in parade.
Dressed to test you up the road.
Tighter than the latest clothes.
Close the circle, walk in row, walking in parade.
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Carrying the standard stick and marrying the politik.
You won't know tomorrow what went down today.
Look at me; i'm in tune: references around my room.
Just another secret school, another cycle going by.
You never looked like that.
Don't look like me.
Don't take it back.
You never had a name like that, never had a color.
Walking like a millionaire.
Walking on imported air.
Change the way you comb your hair and watch what you walk under.
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?

I'm on e.
I'm on e.
I'm on e.
Got nothin' to say.
I used to have a car of my own.
I'm on e.
I'm on e.
I'm on e for england.
Laid out for maybe a week.
I've walked my feet to the bone.
I'd give my life for a car of my own.
I'm on e.
I'm on e.
Two weeks ago saturday i was on tv.
I'd like a show of my own.
But you see i'm still on e even though everything is happening to me.
So when your drivin' on home don't regret your loan.
I'm on e.
I'm on e.
I gave my car to a guy named vinnie.
I feel like gassin' my feet.
They've totalled (?) and skipped a beat.
I used to have a car of my own.
28 or 58.
Walking to refrigerator.
To the pump, do the bump.
Still on e, i'll think of something.
I'm on e and i'm on e.
I'll never have to stop my feet.
28 or 58.
Walking to refrigerator.
To the pump, do the bump.
Still on e, i'll think of something.
I'm on e and i'm on e.
I'll never have to fill my feet up.

I need city lights, defense, and weaponry.
No way of knowing my life expectancy.
I learn resistance like i learn to see.
A living witness.
A lonely refugee.
I'm a war child.
I'm a war baby, and that's the difference between you and me.
I'm a war child.
My occupation is being occupied.
I stop at the corner to be identified.
Across the border they pretend victory.
I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny.
You weren't discovered by khmer rouge.
We hear of "the troubles" on the nightly news.
Plo lovers courting after the curfew.
Your father and brother have the west bank blues.

Oh, don't ya know?
Don't wanna see ya any more.
Put up or shut up.
Ya spell, ya read, d.o.o.r.
Ya got a big mouth and i'm happy to see your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be.
If you talk much louder you could get an award from the federal communications board.
Don't be cruel.
Be a thing - sweet thing as a rule.
Don't be sad.
I left you in the street.
You're pre-fab.
I had to get away.
Don't go away sad.
Don't go pre-fab.
Don't go be bad.
Don't go away mad, just go away.
Oh, don't ya know?
Don't wanna see ya here no more.
Pack it and move it.
Ya spell, ya read, o.u.t out.
Don't be bad.
A mad hatter's beret.
Sometimes you look, like you just made an escape.
Don't be mad or lose your medicaid cool.
Of course, cool rhymes with fool.
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had.
Don't go away sad.
Don't go away mad,
Just go away!
Oh, don't ya know?
I don't wanna see ya curse and pout.
Pack it and move it.
Ya spell, ya read, o.u.t out.
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had.
Don't go away sad.
Don't go away mad,
Just go away!
Go away!
Go away and stay away!

Every day you've go to wake up and disappear behind your makeup.
Take away your calendar watch and you can't keep track until your heart attack.
Hey, i'm living in a magazine, page to page in my submarine!
Hey now, cindy, you can't get to me, need an elevator.
Hey, i'll see you later, 'cause i'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world, no more, no more.
Yeah.
I can be whatever i want to.
I talk to me, i even agree.
Every day's a holiday.
You can look through the glass and take a photograph.
You will never ever walk on the moon, leave your body and float through the room.
You could never conquer me, 'cause i'm not here and you're not there.
And, and i'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world, no more, no more.
Yeah.
Didn't i ever tell you i was gone?
Didn't i ever tell you i was gone?
Bye bye!
I can do anything at all.
I'm invisible and i'm twenty feet tall.
Pull the plug on your digital clock and it all goes dark and the bodies stop.
Hey, i'm living in a magazine, page to page in my teenage dream.
Hey, now, mary, you can't follow me, without a satellite.
I'm on a power flight 'cause i'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world, no more, no more.
I'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world.
I'm not living in the real world, no more, no more, no more.
No more, no more, no more.
No more, no more, no more.

Once i had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
Once i had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out i was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but i was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
In between "what i find is pleasing" and "i'm feeling fine", love is so confusing.
There's no peace of mind if i fear i'm losing you.
It's just no good, you teasing like you do.
Lost inside adorable illusion and i cannot hide.
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside.
We coulda made it cruising, yeah.
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light.
Once i had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.
Seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.

Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they're stepping lightly.
Hang each night, in rapture.
In rapture.
Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it's finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody's fly.
D.j. spinning, i said, "my, my."
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
Francois, c'est pas flashe non due.
And you don't stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from mars.
And you try to run but he's got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.
And then you're in the man from mars.
You go out at night eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don't stop.
You keep on eating cars.
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet.
Face to face.
Dance cheek to cheek.
One to one.
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe.
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He's eating bars.
Yeah, wall to wall.
Door to door.
Hall to hall.
He's gonna eat 'em all.
Rapture.
Be pure.
Man to man, body muscular.
Sismic decibel by the jugular.
Wall to wall tea time technology and a digital ladder.
No sign of bad luck in rapture.
In rapture.
In rapture.

When i met you in the restaurant you could tell i was no debutante.
You asked me what's my pleasure, "a movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming.
Dreaming is free.
I don't want to live on charity.
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity.
People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.
Feet feet: walking a two mile.
Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile.
I never met him, i'll never forget him.
Dream dream: even for a little while.
Dream dream: filling up an idle hour.
Fade away, radiate.
I sit by and watch the river flow.
I sit by and watch the traffic go.
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold.
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming.
Dreaming is free.

In babylon on the boulevard of broken dreams, my will power at the lowest ebb.
Oh what can i do?
Oh buccaneer!
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?

What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back.
Wants his baby back.
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache.
She can't concentrate.
Pick up the beat, you can move like you're made out of vapor.
"catch me if you can" is what she said with her hands.
Come on and take me back.
Can you take her back?
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine, the world slows down and she stops on a dime.
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician.
Still she knows she'll never lose a thing.
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string.
Still you know she'll never slip away.
Keep time in your head, counting in your head.
Slow motion.
I can play with time.
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine.
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head.
Slow motion.
You can play with time.
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine.
Stop and live in your dreams at night, rolling in your bed.
Slow motion, you can stop on a dime.
Slow motion, you ought to try it sometime.
Take me back on another track.
Take me back, take me back.
Slow motion, you can pick up the beat.
Slow motion, you can stop on the street.
Take me back on another track.
Take me back, take me back.

I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
Dry your eyes, sunday girl.
Hey, i saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide, sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd.
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.
Live in dreams, sunday girl.
"baby, i would like to go out tonight".
"if i go with you my folks'll get uptight".
Stay at home, sunday girl.
When i saw you again in the summer time, if your love was as sweet as mine, i could be sunday's girl.

You know he can't be tested.
He can't be read or found.
Urban gray takes breath away.
He wants to push his pedal to the ground.
And the night's what's right.
Puts him at the wheel.
Well, i eat danger.
Any stranger is all right.
Feel hot to go like jimmy o.
Dodging flying objects at the show.
And the lights make me fight.
In detroit 442...
Maybe, baby, i could ride with you.
This town's a concrete factory and dad and mom look just like me.
I'm on the plant assembly line.
Too late now.

Crowded puerto rico.
Humid puerto rico.

The boring mountains.
You say you wanna take out to las vegas.
Viva, viva las vegas.
I heard it.
I did it.

Paying still.
Compliments and promises can't fool me twice.

No one else you know?
Your wife should know.
You say you wanna put me on some tv show.

Beat it creep, dematerialize.
Beat it creep, dematerialize.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't do the wild things that he did before.

(ooh)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad, 'cause i know that he did it for me (and i can see) and i can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't comb his hair like he did before.
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more.

(ooh)
But he's not the same.
There's something 'bout his kisses... that tells me he's changed.
I know there's something missing inside.
(tell me more)
Something died.
(still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before.

(ooh)
I wish i didn't care.
I wish i'd never met him.

They're waiting out there, so i got to set him free.
