Hey kid,
I got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic-book-tattoo
And you'll never be anything
What will you do with your life,
of that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket-ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Straight suits, they don't understand
she tried, that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket-ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me
They can't see what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boy spinning in their own little world
Time up and so we won't say a word
They keep the boy spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket-ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman, are you out there
Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there
They can't feel me They can't see what I found out They can't see, they can't see.. you know, you know, you're jumping from a high jump
Are you still out there They can't see and I just move this mountain Hide your love, hide your love. So many know you know, but then, oh they can't see...

Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes
I'd have the record-books
Sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
Hand hammers, he used one on me
Cold walls, little boys
Get in with them, bubblegum-tree
And...
Sugar
Bring me sugar
All the robins bring
Bring me many things but...
Sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know and I know,
I don't know me very well
And I know and you know,
if they found me, ah..
Sugar
He brings me sugar
And all the robins bring
They bring me many things but...
Sugar
Oh, sugar...
Sugar
Ah, sugar

This house is like Russia
with eyes cold and grey
You've got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
to hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
buried deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says,
you ain't savin' no souls
And my father says,
you ain't makin' any money
My doctor says,
you just took it to the limit
And here I stand...
with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
what you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then...
have a seat while I
take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
But my priest says,
you ain't savin' no souls
And my father says,
you ain't makin' any money
My doctor says,
you just took it to the limit
And here I stand...
with this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
what you don't like
Let me hear it one more time
Then...
have a seat while I
take to the sky

Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star."
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness
where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cotton coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

A little dust never stopped me
now he liked my shoes I kept
them on. Sometimes I can hold my
tongue sometimes not when you
just skip-to-lou my darling and you
know what you're doin so don't even
You're just too used to my honey
now
you're just too used to my honey
and I think I could leave your
world if she was the better girl So
when we died I tried to bribe the
undertaker cause I'm not sure
what you're doing or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey
now
you're just too used to my honey
don't bother coming down I made
a friend of the western sky don't
bother coming down You always
like your babies tight
turn back one last time love to
watch those cowboys ride but
cowboys know that cowgirls ride on
the Indian side
and you know what you're doing
don't even

daisy dead petals
that is her name
she's in her phone booth phase, so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray,
she can turn it out with a heal on she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say, knowing they're around the corner.
Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
daisy dead petals, that is her name.
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here.
she said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
dancing on a dime, hearing mother cry,
maybe she's around the corner.
got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
on my back with, on my back with some dirty dishes.
falling down, falling down, all over the river.
falling down, falling down, falling down.
wish what i'm feeling could go on like this forever.
falling down falling down falling down.
and since we're down might as well stay,
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray.
she's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town.
knowing what they'll say, knowing she tastes like a hamburger
maid, but
"these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
she said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Master Shamen I have come
with my dolly from the shadow side
with a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
All the angels all the wizards black and white
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel them touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet you have come
from the woman clothed with the sun
your veil is quietly becoming none
call the Wanderer he has gone
and all those up there are making it look so easy
with your perfect wings
a wing can cover all sorts of things

God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own ?
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking ?"
Well I dreamed, I dreamed...
I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down
Well I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay
Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down ?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down"

In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now.
But I find that I have, now, more
Then I ever wanted too
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left you
there, you, are here in my head and
Running around and calling me
come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so...
I, I held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor,
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south all
Fav'rite of mine you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear
makes it all...
Hey, do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me?
Here in my head.

Everybody wants something from you,
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink Mustang.
When I think of what we've done to you
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons.
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don't belong in nets.
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me ?
Mary, like Jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
Everybody wants you sweetheart,
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk are running dry,
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream?
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?

Turning back ten thousand years it's all a blur where the taxi's go
Monster man a willing friend Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows gonna get caught in her rug babe
 
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Boats made out of paper float dreams made up for the banana king
Darling crumbs you have lapped freely of devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

It's so nice to live here,
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
it's someplace to call my own.
It's all kinds of people
Familiar places, smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian.
But the 'Birds' are the best,
The best of Baltimore.
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind.

Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore.
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
in a working american city
with all the people who make it that way.
It's time to jump in a taxi
for Thirty-third Street
knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
watching Weaver's Show.

begged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way

Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.

when you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you'd wanted too
then I thought you'd like to
maybe on a tuesday

I heard they'll be dressing
something kind of maggoty
rolling with froppity

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed, dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you found him - lala la
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?

Go to bed, the priests are dead
And go singin' low again
Go to bed, past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play, I said, two can play

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty had a great big fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a [sony?] and some Camembert cheese
She said "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh, yeah, take me to the river
Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river
You know I like the way it runs, yeah"
He said, "Everything's going my way"
he said, "Maybe it's my la-lucky day"
And he said, "anything you want
I can give"
She said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "Anything"
She said, "Up there, baby
Get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like custard in the summer, honey
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen
What it takes to be...oh

Poppa I know
There's a Frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
Maybe I'll grow up to be
As wise and as good as he
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone
Poppa I'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's Plate long ago
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
cause you're still here telling me still
"Slap them boys if they're naughty
Make them crawl, make you haughty"
Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes a reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
Now I'm pretty sure
That I think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes kind of like Gidget
A funny little chance like an Indian Brave
He said "We all grew fat when the white man came"
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make them crawl
Make them grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them potatoes
And you make them with laddies hands
I know you're my pappy's baby.

Here, I said
don't even let this go
and it's
hey to that old man.
I'm coming in the graveyard
with my little tune,
it's June
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
to sing you to sleep now

Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Well Jackson made deals
A thief down to his heels
Had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide
a Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Mmm, we know it's not Caroline
Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride
but in their eyes we know it's not Caroline
Yes, yes, America.
Hey, ah, America.
who discovered your ass?
The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang.
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

"you do your thing"

well hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it's grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes she promises a show
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her
for you
for me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
if I'm marooned o'er where the purple people go
then lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me

and on and on
the nurses make it clear
just when you escape
you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour
it could save the world

so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me

aaa laaa
aaa haa
for her
for her
mmmm-hmmmmmm

Walking with you
Hand in palm, palm in hand
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever land
Next to my heart where you belong
Walking along
Singing a song
Walking with you
Walking with you
Heart in steps, Step on beach
Beach in sun, have some fun
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever hand
Over your heart to me
Walking along
Smiling our song
Walking with you
I know a place, where you can stay
Footsteps to a door open all day
Walking with you walking with you
Walking....
Walking with you
Life in eyes, light in your eye-eyes
I know you love me too.
Walking with you...
Walking with you...
Walking with you...
