1. _ Son Of Sam
Something's happening, don't speak to soon
I told the boss off and made my move
Got no where to go
Son of sam, son of a shining path, the clouded mind
Couple killer each and every time
I'm not uncomfortable, feeling weird
Long revered options disappear
But i know what to do
Son of sam, son of a doctor's touch, a nurse's love
Acting under orders from above...
King for a day...
Son of sam, son of a shining path, the clouded mind
Couple killer running out of time
Shiva opens her arms now
To make sure i don't get to far
I may talk in my sleep tonight cause i don't know what i am
I'm a little like you, more like son of sam

2. _ Tom's Start
Activity is killing the actor
And a cop's standing out in the road turning traffic away
There's nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my nothing else could have been done
Made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life a lie, you know
I told him he shouldn't have sent her
He'd only be making it worse
Bothering somebody else
But i he that he'd never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
Oh my nothing else could have been done
She made her life a lie
So she might never have to know anyone
Made her life a lie, you know
What i used to be will pass away and then you'll see
And all i want now is happiness for you and me
What i used to be will pass away and then you'll see
And all i want now is happiness for you and me. . . .

3. _ L.a.
The gentle little elaine,
Spinning his hat on a cane
Stepping out, out for change
"good morning all, it's a beautiful day"
The generals are winning a war
Seemed suicidal before
You came alone, now
I'll protect you, long as you stay
Lllllaaaaa
One of a kind
You'll be walking in the sun
Living in the day
Last night i was about to throw it all away
If patience started a band,
I'd be her biggest fan
Look at me, i'm talking to you
I don't want the lead in your play
The star's just a part of the scene
The gentle man in green
Paying off, out on the street
I can't go home, it's not on my way
Llllllaaaaaa
Things are never done, car's parked in the sun
Living in the day
Last night i was about to throw it all away (4 times)

4. _ Somebody That I Used To Know
i had tender feelings that you made hard,
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred.
So when i go home, i'll be happy to go -
You're just somebody that i used to know.
You don't need my help anymore,
It's all now to you, there aint no before,
Now that you're big enough to run your own show
You're just somebody that i used to know.
I watched you deal in a dying day,
And throw a living past away,
So you can be sure that you're in control,
You're just somebody that i used to know.
I know you don't think you did me wrong,
And i can't stay this mad for long,
Keeping a hold of what you just let go -
You're just somebody that i used to know.

5. _ Junk Bond Trader
Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain at
Attention looking backward
In a pool of water wishes with a blue songbird on his
Shoulder who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me
I picked up the song and found my picture
In the paper the reflection in the water shouted
"are you men still trying to salute
People from a time when he was
Everything he's supposed to be?"
Everything means nothing to me

6. _ Color Bars
color bars:
I see color bars when i come
Sargeant rock broke the key off in the lock
To where i come from
Sir, no sir.
We have no power in the air
The battle's on the ground
Laying low again,
High on the sound
Bruno s. is a man to me
You're just some dude with a stilted attitude
That you learned from tv
You'll undo
But i'll be connecting everything
The traffic in my town
Riding high again,
High on the sound
Everyone wants me to ride into the sun
But i ain't gonna go down
Laying low again,
High on the sound

7. _ Stupidity Tries
Got a foot in the door
God knows what for
And it'll cut me down to size
Stupidity tries
Everything here is free
Everything but you and me
This painting never dries
Stupidity tries
So then a shoulder
Raised a cheer
Coloring the sky with ash
Because they found some privateer
To sail across the sea of trash
The enemy is within
Don't confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries
And so i go from floor to floor
Looking for a port of call
Another drunk conquistador
Conquering the governor's ball
I couldn't think of a thing
That i hope tomorrow brings
Oh what a surprise
Stupidity tries

8. _ Taking The Easy Way Out
You'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used
Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused
I got stuck on the side you know, i never chose
But it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
There's no escape for you except in someone else
Although you've already disappeared within yourself
The invisible man who's always changing clothes
It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
Well i don't want you making mistakes
I wish you luck i really do
But the problem with the puzzle
Whatever's left to you
I heard you found another audience to bore
A creative thinker who imagined you were more
A new body for you to push around and pose
It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

9. _ Pretty Mary K
Almost forgot
Started to say
Rode into the sun
Asked everyone
Haleluja
Pretty mary k
I found faith in the infirmary
There's a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty mary k
Here's what you get
For things that haven't happened yet
Happened upon pretty mary k
But a soldier's uniform
Waved me away
Walk 'round the door
Talked to st. james
Though i'm already done
Ask everyone
Have you seen her
Pretty mary k
Have you seen her
Pretty mary k

10. _ Everything Means Nothing To Me
Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain at
Attention looking backward
In a bowl of water wishes with a blue songbird on his
Shoulder who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me

In the paper the reflection in the water shouted
"are you men still trying to salute
People from a time when he was
Everything he's supposed to be?"

11. _ Can't Make A Sound
I have become a silent movie
The hero killed the clown
Can't make a sound
Nobody knows what he's doing
Still hanging around
Can't make a sound
The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me
Bored in a role, but he can't stop
Standing up to sit back down
And lose the one thing found
Spinning the world like a toy top
Till there's a ghost in every town
Can't make a sound
Eyes locked and shining
Can't you tell me what's happening?
Why should you want any other, when you're a world within a world?

12. _ In The Lost And Found (honky Bach)
The imitation picks you up like a habit
Riding in the glow of the tv static
Taking out the trash to the man
Give the people something they understand
Mistake a nervous flash for a fine-line smile
Junk bond trader trying to sell a sucker a stock
Rich man in a poor man's clothes
The permanent installment of the daily dose
And you tell me, "fool, you tell it like it is"
Your wall's gone wider than your head trip is
Checking into a small reality
Void as a drug you take too regularly
>>The acolyte's laugh; the broken crutch
>> The first true love folded at the slightest touch
Brought down like an old hotel
People digging through the rubble for things they can resell
"happy holidays," said sid the saviour
Believe in love i still favour
I won't take your medicine
I don't need a remedy
To be everything i'm supposed to be
I don't want nobody else
I can do it by myself
We're meant to be together
Now i'm a policeman directing traffic
Keeping everything moving, everything static
I'm the hitchhiker you recognize passing
On your way to some everlasting...
Better sell it while you can
Better sell it while you can
Better sell it while you can
Better sell it while you can

13. _ Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?
The question is wouldn't mama be proud?
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty pose that you're taking as
As an emcee, oh, of the great pretender
I should sure think so
Wouldn't mama be proud?
"can i take your order?"
Asks the heavenly host
Ticket to the jetstream
Blowing coast to coast
The long stemmed glasses, a movie
And a pleasant dream in mid air
You gotta tell me quickly
Cos we're almost there
Wouldn't mama be proud?
If you look out your window
And the sky's gone black
Well kid you're on the right track
If i send you postcards
From the side of the road
Photographs of moving
Parts about to explode
If i call to keep it together
Like you say i can do
To transmit a moment
From me to you
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?

14. _ Everything Reminds Me Of Her
I never really had a problem because of leaving
But everything reminds me of her this evening
So if i seem a little out of it, sorry
But why should i lie?
Everything reminds me of her
The spin of the earth impaled a silhouette of the sun on the steeple
And i gotta hear the same sermon all the time now from you people
Why are you staring into outer space, crying?
Just because you came across it, and lost it
Everything reminds me of her
Everything reminds me of her
Everything reminds me of her

15. _ I Better Be Quiet Now
Activity is killing the actor
And a cop's standing out in the road turning traffic away
There's nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my nothing else could have been done
Made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life the lie, you know
I told him he shouldn't upset her
And that he'd only be making it worse
Involving somebody else
But i knew that he'd never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
Oh my nothing else could have been done
She made her life a lie
So she might never have to know anyone
Made her life the lie, you know
What i used to be will pass away and then you'll see
And all i want now is happiness for you and me
What i used to be will pass away and then you'll see
And all i want now is happiness for you and me. . . .
