 Lone Rhino » Die lirieke [+ Voeg +] |
1. _ Shoe Salesman
Every now and then
You find someone you really like,
But sometimes in the end
They may not fit you right
My baby's in love with a shoe salesman
The man who works down the block
Yes, she's in love for the first time, again
He's got her heart tied up in a knot
With all his talk about the price he can give
He's got her sold on the life they could live
Just like the slippers in the window there
He says they make such a cozy pair
My baby's in love with a shoe salesman
It makes me feel like a sock full of holes
It all began when she window-shopped
An' pretty soon he was holding her sole
Now she's in love with that man down the street
And he's in love with her feet
I try to think everything is alright,
But who's gonna keep my feet warm at night
Oh, i love her even though
She's made a heel out of me
My baby's in love with a shoe salesman
Now i don't fit her, no, i don't fit her
Now i don't fit her anymore

2. _ Big Electric Cat
She arrives like a limo
Smooth and moving
On the prowl through the crowd
To the beat of the city
She glows in the dark
Wherever she parks
Concrete crumbles and the night rumbles
Big electric cat
She dances through the street
Like the flame of a fire
Everybody's hypnotized
Everybody perspires
Even little children cry
Grown men shout
The dogs bark
The lights go out
Big electric cat

3. _ Swingline
Swingline throughout the backyards of the midwest
Lean back, baby, in your seat on the train
Look through the window pane
Look at that kid over there with no underwear
And a silly dog who doesn't care
His mother stretches to reach the clothes line
While a mean neighbor leans on the population sign
Non-stop through the backyards of the midwest
Eavesdrop, baby, from your seat on the train
Look through the window pane
Some kinda buick left in a stream
It used to be somebody's' dream
A town stares at the summer heat waves
Past a smooth afternoon,
Ready to close for the day

4. _ Stop It
Well i wrestle with my toothbrush each morning at noon
I stumble into the bathroom and have my shampoo
I'm livin' in a suitcase; lookin' for a call
Leerin' at the telephone and laughin' to the wall
Now i got me a sweet thing she keeps me insane
She lays on my chest in the morning if it rains
I'm livin' in a suitcase; lookin' for a call
Leerin' at the telephone and laughin' to the wall
I'm a road dog at the motel holiday
I often wonder what i wanna say
Give me stage lights on a hot night
And the bottom line is a real good time
While the waitress is waiting for the waiter to wink
She checks on her checks and she drinks on her drink
I'm livin' in a suitcase; lookin' for a call
Leerin' at the telephone and laughin' to the wall
Now the nights go quickly when you're asleep
But i'm out shufflin' for someplace to eat
Like a breakfast at the egg house, a waffle on the griddle
I'm burnt around the edges but i'm tender in the middle

5. _ The Lone Rhinoceros
I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world
I stand alone in my concrete cell
Where people stare and toss me coke cans
I guess it's better than being poached
But i'd give my horn just to see my homeland
I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world
They say i am ugly,
Call me a beast
I hear them snicker
When i'm half asleep
Is beauty such a big commodity
I always heard it was only so deep
I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world
I know the zoos protect my species
They give me food, collect my feces
But i can't help it, i miss the past
I'll never again see my good old mudbath

6. _ The Momur
Late last night
I was speaking with my wife
When she turned into a momur
Tried to put me uptight
I said "you don't scare me"
Then she let out a scream
That's when my heart started jumpin'
Like a broken t.v.
She was a momur and it was just like i told ya'
She said "you better watch out, i might bite a big hole in ya'"
The very next morning
I was watching cartoons
When i thought i saw a momur
It was you know who
Well, she backed me in a corner
Tried to kill me with a broom
And shouted personal remarks
From across the living room
She was a momur and it was just like i told ya'
She said "you better watch out, i might bite a big hole in ya'"
Late last night
I was speaking with my wife again
When she turned into a momur again
Tried to put me uptight again
She took me favorite guitar
And she smashed it on the floor
When she danced around on top of it,
I thought i might get sore
She was momur

7. _ Adidas In Heat
Jet set ski shop quasi silver porche jacket
Bleached blonde forty-dollar foster grant
Capped teeth two-inch eyelash
Pseudo gamma delta doll
Adidas in heat
Beer slob saturday addict pops another top
"kill that sonovabitch," he screams at the t.v.
The thrill of victory, the agony of my feet
Adidas in heat
Sports awareness t-shirt
Sports awareness t-shirt
You have the paraphenelic regaliaof an athletic supporter
Forced to wear this t-shirt
Sports awareness t-shirt
You have the paraphenelic regalia
Of an athletic supporter

8. _ The Man In The Moon
There i stood in the night
Out on the broken pier
Me with my feet in the sea
You with your face in the clouds,
The man in the moon
And as i heard your voice,
Felt your laugh
Flood across the broken pier
I wanted to die right then and there
You smiled down across the waves
As if to say to me
"everything will be okay,
Be strong and true"
And i felt your eyes
Like the tide
Pulling me out into the air
For a moment in time
You held me there,
Father and son,
Home again'

9. _ Animal Grace
Hey, the makings of a real event
He slices through the urban air,
Immediate and confident
Yes, he's riding on a sonic wave
Defining a modern pose
Arriving in the status age
I watched the animal grace
Stir in his painted eyes
And spring into life on his face
Yes, the drama of a silent stage
His image commands respect
Personifies style and taste
Yes, he's magic on the t.v screen
Illuminating living room walls,
The power of his frequency
I watched, they took the stage away
Gone with the moving crowd
I felt so misplaced
Left with my naive guitar
There in the dim parking lot
I saw him leave in a car
I stood in my place
And quietly waved
Goodbye
To the animal grace
