Introduce Yourself

Don't put that thing too close to my head
It took this long just to get ahead, he says
He knows for sure, but that he can't decide
Between his decency and this matter of pride
So he's growing up on time, he's growing up in the middle...
And it burns, and it burns, the sun burns
Oh, now i can really feel it. how could you ever stand it?
We've got the same ideas, we got the same old fears;
Different colors sometimes, but hey, who cares?
It's just years that shears our lives apart, like the
Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart, he couldn't do it. push!
So he's growing up on time, i'm growing up in the middle...
Oh, now i can really feel it. how could you ever stand it?
I'm not the kind of person who would say it, if it wasn't the truth
And then you go and tell a friend that her heart's on fire
And it has no meaning.
Now and only now i know the difference when you tell me
There is no difference.
So she's growing up on time, she's growing up in the middle...
Now's the time to evaluate between the love you give
And the love that you take.
"it's not a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it,
It's just a difference of opinion, that much i can take."
So i'm growing up on time, i'm growing up in the middle...
And it burns

'HEY!' WHAT?? 'Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you're doing
that whatever it is you're doing. 'Oh yeah, why?' I dunno it just
doesn't seem like something ]you'd[ be doing that's all ]you[ of all
people, know what I mean? 'Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the
day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said, 'Anne,
Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, it's been bugging them since the
day that I was born.' She said 'Do whatever the hell you want to do!
Now is the time to do whatever you want, and it will still turn out
great. You've got the world at your feet.''
I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and she's
tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then the rest
of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hollow...

I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne.

Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess queen with the juice
What's this? I see she brought her whole uplown contingent. First there's
Jon E., he always loves a party, he's followed by Vinnie, who's feelin'
kinda skinny, he says 'Hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat, she
says 'Vinnie you're always starving man get away from that fridge!
Here comes Lucy, she's feelin' really sexy, she's followed by her
boyfriend, who'd better not turn around, this time, or he's bound to lose
her, and here comes Jamilla, who's got the cream soda...

I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne

It doesn't really matter, the things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder, up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air is cold, you're messing with my mind
Hey! You do it every time, Hey! And the season comes around
Once more,once more.

It doesn't really matter, the things you try to say
It doesn't really matter, you say 'em every day
Right now just give me more blood
Just give it to me deep red
A flowing river crimson
A flowing river burning with desire
It's great, but I never said how great
Hey, you never really asked, well, I'm asking you right now
So shut up and explain
What's on your mind
In this dark hour
I said it doesn't matter, I can't be that much fatter
And you'll never get as much blood
From a phony Blarney, stone, rock, hard, Granite!?! Solid.

From the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave you
plenty to scorn, well right on! Then you said in a song that life was
gettin real tough, but hey I think that you're bluffing, what of it?

Introduce yourself (right on!)
Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo means
nada nunca. Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet my pants
every time that I see your face (who are you?)

Introduce yourself (right on!)

Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on?

Introduce yourself (right on!)

'And after all the feelings go, I see I still love you so,
I just thought I'd let you know now that everything's okay,
And you are on your way back, back to where you came,'
She said with pain in her heart, it was there from the start.
Now I know why everything turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest, I want flourescence every day and night
For the rest of my life, open your eyes, won't you?
Can't you see you're so beautiful to me?

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a crime of love
And he won't be happy till he sees your blood

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A son of a bitch and he's digging a ditch
For you my friend, my lucky one
So grab your things it's time to run to the other side

Where love takes pride, and your souls
The only thing that stays alive
Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!

Looking back on when I left you...
Crying in pain
Don't look back...[1st verse]

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain, in-credible pain
I understand. You have to be your own person. And that's ok with me.

Hurts, Hurts, Hurts, Like a like a motherfucher
Love. it hurts. it kills. Like a sonofabitch.
That feeling. It gets me. Down inside. Deep down there
No further. Keep going. Oh man that's right out my system
