1. _ Facade
A little girl trapped in her knowledge and craft
Came tripping to my room last night
I cooked her a steak and i tried not to fake
And still make everything alright
She had dreads in her hair and problems and cares
She tried hard not to let |
2. _ She Call Me Daddy
She's gone
I froze her out
Move by move
First i didn't hold her hand
Then i didn't touch her in bed
Then i wasn't tender with her upsets
Then i just told her to go
And still, she didn't go
I had to push.
Now this place is peaceful as a grave
It's dead quiet without her
And her stupid t.v. shows
And young girl laughing
I was always ashamed she read cosmopolitan
I should have been proud of her
What did she want that was so bad?
She just wanted to believe that someone would
Love her and look after her always
She called me daddy
She called me daddy

3. _ Espanol
Soy un gringo
Americano
Del pais brutal y frio
Nada de esa mierda
Es mi culpa
Y un dia yo vi la salida
Ya yo hablo espanol
Ya yo hablo espanol
Ya yo hable espanol
Yo hablo espanol
Vendi la esposa
Vendi los ninos
Tome un chance a currar mi vida
Yo corr |
4. _ Motorcycles
I saw her in a dream but it wasn't true
Through the smoke and fire
Of the exhaust fumes
She just laughed and loved me |
5. _ No Shit
It was in the winter of my fiftieth year
When it hit me
I was really alone
And there wasn't a hell a lot of time left
Every laugh and touch that i could get
Became more important
Strangely, i became more bookish
And my home and study meant more to me
As i considered the circumstances of my death
I wanted to find a balance between joy and dignity
On my way out
Above all, i didn't want to take any more shit
Not from anybody

6. _ Miss Argentina
Her skin is copper and her voice is spanish red
Her vibe is golden |
7. _ Corruption
From the drip drip drip of the teardrops
To the chink chink chink of the cash
To the end end end of the friendships
To the wack wack wack of the bash
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
From the tick tick tick of your time's up
To the yes yes yes of |
8. _ Avenue B
Rapper standing on the corner
Wrappers flying in the wind
Waitress up from alabama
Can't believe the cold she's in
And me, i'm sitting in my castle
On the verge of a divorce
And if i haven't got a hassle
I'll create my own, of course
Still i gotta live with my feelings
But i know about science too
And fame and death and money
And what they do to you
And i am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on avenue b
I bought about a hundred candles
I'm burnin' em both night and day
I'm sleepin' when i should be eatin'
Cryin' when i should be gay
My girlfriend's warm and loves me
She's knockin' but she can't get in
I'm a product of the paranoia
Of the age i'm in
And i am gonna need a miracle
I'm really gonna need a miracle
I'm really gonna need a miracle
Tonight on avenue b
I see the students out my window
They're walking in their student clothes
Eatin' books and information
To make their understanding grow
But this much i understand
It's hard to be an empty man
But since i gave `em every part of me
I ain't free
And i am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on avenue b
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
I am gonna need a miracle
Tonight on avenue b

9. _ Long Distance
Alone with the phone again
The deepening light seeps in my mind
I'm desperate to hear a voice
Can this really be my choice?
I'm fifty and i'm tricky
And i'm sick of being alone
You're twenty-five and pretty
But you're old enough to know
That actions form a pattern
And the heart's the last to know
And i'm waitin' for another friend
Callin' long distance again
My mind is an antique room
There's overstuffed chairs and carpets too
Where nobody ever comes
It's a good place to run away from
And i'm runnin' from a love
With every step i take
And if i can fall for you then
From the last one i am saved
And it's a cold grey wet december
Shity shity day
And i'm waitin' for another friend
Calling long distance again
You're dark and your french voice is lovely
And you're bright eyes light the receiver across the miles
I'm listening close and i'm hoping
To learn love, but i don't know how
Calling long distance again
Calling long distance again
I'm calling long distance again
Calling long distance again

10. _ Shakin' All Over
When you move in right up close to me
That's when i get the shivers all over me
Shivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over
Just the way you say goodnight to me
There's a feeling on the side of me
Shivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers in my kneebone
Shakin' all over
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling i'm inside of me
Shivers down my backbone
I've got the shakes in my thighbone
Oh shivers in my knee bone
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
When you're moving right up close to me
That's when i get the shivers all over me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling outside of me
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over

11. _ I Felt The Luxury
She sat on the pavement
As i pulled in the drive
Wearing leopard skin velvet
And shiny black eyes
"she looks like a sleeper"
Said my wife at the time
She had curls like delilah
And a smile like the sun
She held my poor corpse
Like she'd never be done
And the caption in my mind said
"this is the one"
But i'm strong and i'm disciplined
And i avoided her for years

12. _ Nazi Girlfriend
I want to fuck her on the floor
Among my books of ancient lore
So i will make a full report
I got a nazi girlfriend
It's not the four-inch heels she wears
It's not her baby-fine blond hair
It's more the desert in her stare
I've got a nazi girlfriend
She's not the colt
That she once was
She's elegant
But youth is lost
Still she has ways to make me talk
I love you nazi girl
Her french is perfect
So's her butt
She wears two crosses
Tangled up
She's independent
She's not dumb
Tough little nazi girl
So now i've fucked her on the floor
Among my books of ancient lore
And i have made a full report
About a nazi girl

13. _ Afraid To Get Close
Watching the cat sleep on my pillows
Afraid to get close to anyone and afraid not to
The need of all creatures to be warmed and touched
The girls who want dads
I think the writing is eating up myself
Preventing any togetherness with anyone
Hurting and recycling people over and over again
How much longer?
How many more?
I held her in my arms and i didn't want to realize
She was putting her life in my hands
