Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky Suddenly he breaks into song I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone Hello, speak up, is there somebody there? These hang-ups are getting me down In a world frozen over with over-exposure Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me You're a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks All the difference in the world is just a call away And I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone Yes I'm waiting by the phone I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me Yes I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me |

Two boys on a playground
Tryin' to push each other down See the crowd gather 'round Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind You're a black soldier, white fight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? Keeps the kids off the streets Gives 'em something to do, something to eat This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life |

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin' I was a key that could use a little turnin' So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I could't keep Promised myself I would't weep One more promise I could't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray *Run away train never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I Should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mistery seem so faded I can go where no one else can go I know,what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night. earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it *Repeat Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain A little out of touch. little insane It's just easier than feelin' with the pain *Repeat Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems to stay |

I'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart
I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart If I can keep it up If I can keep it up I've been complaining like a broken record Gonna get what I want if it takes forever If I can keep it up If I can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing I know it seems funny tryin' to understand It's just that things don't always go the way you planned Still you keep it up Still you keep it up Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down I'm just a-holdin' out, just a-hangin' round Tryin' to keep it up Just to keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x4) 747's gonna take us away Take us up to heaven, gonna be okay If we can keep it up If we can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x8) |

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

I gotta get on
I gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Will I be on the streets tomorrow Will I have to beg and borrow Will I have to go back to the job I left behind Could you still make it With a guy who never made it Would you look into my eyes if I were to go blind Gotta get on I gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Now will you leave me for another Send me running back to mother Will I have the time to tell you how I really feel Am I just getting slower Or are you just talking faster Do we need bad disaster to make it plain to see That all these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head Do I just feel like cryin' Cause I'm sick and tried of tryin' Trying to convince you this ain't how it has to be The ground you walk on's sacred The sky above awaits you So cast all your frustrations to the bottomless sea Gotta get on Gotta get on out All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head Gotta get on out of my head |

Lives in a little lonely town
No one's around except for the drinking Nobody ever gets around But those who leave the township sinking May you rot in heaven Gotta be home by seven And the field burns away The sky breathes it in So why sit and wait for the new world to begin I'm comin' out across your border With new orders for you to take I'd really like to take out your daughter Down in the water, down by the lake When the cold water's on her skin I can feel how long it's been And the neighbors will all be there And no one will know what to wear So why sit and wait for the world to begin I got a lot I gotta do Just to get through the end of the day It hardly ever even happens But I go to sleep the same anyway And you can't believe in yourself You can't believe in anyone else So why sit and wait for the new world to begin |

Quittin' after one more last one
Tired of playin' the clown If I want your opinion I'll ask ya I can get myself down Night driving without headlight Wearin' sunglasses too Lookin' good but sure don't feel right Anything to be cool Doin' hopscotch with my legs tied Jumpin' rope in wet cement Black leather in midday sunshine All your mother's money's spent Doin' time on the metal detector Like to drown in your pool Coverin' up everything that's defective Anything to be cool A burning heart could be so cool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool for you Holdin' on to what's left of real life Anything to be cool (x4) A burning heart like an April Fool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool I'm a mid-spring snowfall, joke's on you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool (x3) |

I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face So seriously I took her I was a disgrace I was out of line; I was out of place Out of time to save face See the open mouth of my suitcase Sayin' leave this place Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to get a good job With honest pay I might as well join the mob The benefits are okay Standing in the sun with a popsicle Everything is possible With a lot of luck and a pretty face And some time to waste Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to dance at a funeral New Orleans style I joined the Grave Dancer's Union I had to file Trying to do the right thing, play it straight The right thing changes from state to state Don't forget to take your mace If you're out walking late I liked to see your face You left without a trace You leave without a trace |

You never grow out of mischief making
You never grow out of taking You never grow out of complicating When simple things are waiting But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of contemplating When it ain't worth debating You never grow out of mistake making You never grow out of faking But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear (x6) And will I ever, ever, ever get over it |

I don't own you but I know you're mine never disown you never treat you unkind but once in a while you get on my nerves once in a while you get what you deserve I need you ninety-nine percent of the time ninety-nine percent of the time if I asked you what |

Tell me how you get that shine
You must polish all the time Though I know your job is thankless They will thank you up in heaven Oh, the sun maid Looking for the shade Though they say she's not too bright She takes care of all the light Without you it's cold and stark We would all be in the dark Without the sun maid She never gets paid Searching for the shade Oh the sun maid You are so taken for granted With each and every seed that's planted And the earth is so demanding All the young girls are out tanning With the sun maid She's such an old maid She never gets laid Oh the sun maid Now you're tired, your day is over Now the moon is one day older |
