Old Blue Sweater

I walk around all night thinking about you. I walk around all day can’t get along without you. I’d walk away but my love is here to stay so I’ll walk alone ’til you come home. A day without you seems like a year or two. What am I gonna do to get you back? My fault, fairweather friend, that we’re not together. Put on your old blue sweater; still smells like you. Guess I’ll just waste away until you come to stay. Oh what a day that’ll be, when you come home to me. So won’t you come home for just a little while? Won’t you come home so I can see you smile? I’d walk away but my love is here to stay so I’ll walk alone ’til you come home. These streets we walked around, just like we owned this town. When I was lost you found me crying. Now it’s just empty space; it’s you I can erase. Without your funny face I’m dyin’. I’ll make it up to you; do what you wanna do. Oh what a day that’ll be! When you come home to me…I blew it; you knew it; not much to it: my heart is on my sleeve. So won’t you come home...


Hex Me

Well she looks like a witch but she tastes like chicken and when she comes around you know that all the boys get smitten. It’s the deadly combination of fear and fascination that drives them out of their minds. Hex me! She ain’t no kitten and she ain’t so young but if she’ll let me hang around I’ll be the last dog hung. And I’ll take sloppy seconds if she’ll put ’em on a plate, just don’t call me late for dinner ’cause I ain’t got time to waste. Hex me! If you’re gonna talk dirty to me, you better mean what you say. I’ll wash your mouth out with my desire before I let you get away. They come from miles around ’cause the word is spreading fast, yeah, the world loves a woman with blood on her hands. It’s the deadly combination of sex and syncopation that drives them out of their minds. Hex me!


Cesare Said

Cesare said, "It’s no joy to be undead, walking around in clothes that don’t fit." Shadows painted on a wall and I’m the biggest fool of all, giving everything for a taste of eternity. Cesare said, "There’s a cabinet for my bed; the shame of my desire holds the key." Secret lives, butcher knives; a word of warning to the wise: Beware of what you wish for if what you wish is me. I feel nothing; call me cold.
In a trance I’m dancing on your grave. Killing time; memory unwind. I sleepwalk through the darkness and the day. Dream revenge without an end; go to hell and back again. Nothing ever changes and nothing stays the same. I feel nothing; locked away. In a trance I’m dancing on your grave. If I could get to the other side and stay there I’d be fine. I feel nothing; call me cold...I feel nothing; locked away...


The Suicide Pact

I’ve been waiting, saving my pennies; pennies from heaven, heaven above. You’ve been saying we should be married. Why should we marry when we’re so in love? Bluebirds fly overhead; we’ll be so happy when we’re dead. We’ll take a trip, no turning back. Our little suicide pact. Pills and poison, buried treasure; stormy weather brings me a smile. The deepest of oceans, the highest of buildings; so many choices, so little time. Write a letter, valentine; sign your name on the dotted line. Take a trip, no turning back. Our little suicide pact. For us there’s no tomorrow; there’s no today. We’ll stand still in yesterday. Kiss me once and kiss me twice; once for naughty, once for nice. Make your bed and say goodnight and I’ll see you in paradise. Our little, our little, our little suicide pact.


My Fascination

You put the wag in my tail, you put the buzz in my beehive and when I’m with you, it’s enough to just be alive. I don’t know nothing much but this much is true: my fascination is just another nail in the coffin. You put the skip in my step, you put the smile in my turnstile. I’d walk a city block or even a country mile for you. These things I’d do, this much is true: my fascination is just another nail in the coffin. I’ll be your umbrella if you’ll be my fella and I’ll keep you from the rain. Don’t you worry, in a hurry there’ll be sunshine once again. When we’re out and about, we only have eyes for each other. You make me wanna shout and tell the whole world that I love you! I know it’s nothing new but this much is true:my fascination is just another nail in the coffin. Sha la la la... I know it’s nothing new...


Sucker

I’ll cut off my nose to spite my face; drive your car off a bridge to cause you disgrace. You say that you love me; I’ll force you to touch
me all reeling, all writhing with maggots inside. Hate you, negate you, still I’ll take you. Lies, pity, envy, jealousy up, wrap it up, up, up for me; I’ll take it as is and no questions asked. You say, "I’ll make you a star!" I wanna know what’s in it for me...You talk about passion, you talk about fashion but I know it’s money that keeps you in line. Sweet little parasite, sucking off others; their songs and their dances, you won’t suck off mine. You like it sexy and you like it rough so why don’t you tell me when I’ve had enough? I’ll fuck you down and I’ll fuck you up. Just smile when you say it, just smile when you...You say, "I’ll make you a star!" I wanna know what’s in it for me...Cut me to ribbons and we’ll call it even. You say, "I’ll make you a star!” I wanna know what’s in it for me...


(She’s In) Another World

She walks around with her head up in the clouds; she’s so high, her feet don’t touch the ground. All down the street, yeah, the people stop and stare but she doesn’t even notice, she doesn’t even care. She’s thinking about him. He’s gone away but she knows it’s not forever; in a few more hours they’ll be back together. And she’s waiting for the moment when she’ll hold him so tight; wrap her arms around him and everything’s gonna be all right. She’s thinking about him. She’s in another world... Well I’m coming ’round the corner and I see him standing there. I’m the luckiest girl you’ll find anywhere and he’s never out of mind because he’s always outta sight. He’s my heaven on earth every single night. He says he’s been thinking about me. And that’s why he’s in another world...


The Day I Died

I hear the churchbells ringing so it must be Sunday morning; my head still pounding from Saturday night. I’m floating down the river, keep my neck above the water. It’s not the way I planned it but everything’s all right. No, it’s not the way I planned it, but lives have ways of wandering and where I’d hoped to aim for is not what fate saw fit to bring. Everything is going to be all right. Well I lost more than I gathered; another mirror shattered. Seven years bad luck is somehow no surprise to me. But if life’s just killing time with no reason and no rhyme, let the peace and grace and light of Sunday morning set me free. I remember, I remember... all the world held its breath when you leaned forward with a kiss... I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember this. Everything is going to be all right.


American Express

I go to work, I hit the sheets, I fuck the man. Out in the streets they shoot to kill, I fuck the man. I need a thrill; he’s such a tease, I fuck the man. Dirt and disease, I aim to please, I fuck the, I fuck the-- 24 hours a day; nothing makes it worth my while. 24 hours a day; it’s a long, long time ’til they let you die. I spank the dog, I smoke the pipe, I fuck the man. Believe the hype, the first one’s free, I fuck the man. New wave tv, acid rain, I fuck the man. Downsize your brain, no pain no gain, I fuck the, I fuck the-- 24 hours a day; nothing makes it worth my while. 24 hours a day; it’s a long, long time ’til they let you die. Oh, oh, oh... Take a number, make a mess, I fuck the man. My happiness American Express: fuck the man! You rise above, oh you’re so smug, you fuck the man! I saw you! 24 hours a day; nothing makes it worth my while. 24 hours a day; it’s a long, long time ’til they let you die.


Paris, France

C'mon and take a walk with me; you ain't got nothing else to do. The stars are out, let's talk about the dreams we'll make come true. So what, we can't get off the block; never-you-mind Paris, France. The night is young and full of fun, given half a chance.
A full moon, a fool's heart; that's a pretty good start. A full moon, a fool's heart and Paris, France. We'll build a castle in the air and live a lifetime in a kiss. Shut your eyes and we will ride like beggars on a wish because the world is where we are and right now that's you and me. Someday, come what may, we'll sail across the sea. A full moon, a fool's heart; that's a pretty good start. A full moon, a fool's heart and Paris, France.  Ain't it funny, when you got the money you never have the time but when the hours while away, you just have to stay because you're down to your last dime. Because the world is where we are and right now that's you and me. Someday, come what may, we'll sail across the sea to Paris, France! A full moon, a fool's heart; that's a pretty good start! A full moon, a fool's heart and Paris, France.


Dear John

I, I am unfrail; catch you by the tail. I’ll put a letter in the mail that says "Dear John." I could care less about your happiness. You made this bed, you made this mess so lap it up. Down in the hollow witching for water, I cussed and I cussed but it didn’t help a bit! You, you walk around just like you own this town. Well, I hate to let you down but you’re extinct. You do what you can; take it like a man. Another chip upon your shoulder, son of a gun. Down in the hollow witching for water, I cussed and I cussed but it didn’t help a bit! The one who got away, the one who wouldn’t say, "Daddy do it to me one more time!" The one who lived to tell, the one who broke your spell. It’s all just smoke and mirrors, monkeyshine. Down in the hollow witching for water, I cussed and I cussed but it didn’t help a bit! Dear John.



Get My Goat

You get my goat; I’ll slit your throat. I’ll cut your head off while I’m at it. We’ve got a date so don’t be late; I don’t think eight is all that early. You’re never ready. You’re never ready. We’re going steady, so what’s your problem? I’ll give you something to cry about! I could care less about how you dress, just bring plenty of money. Let’s make the scene before things get mean and, baby, don’t call me honey. You’re never ready... I’ll give you something to cry about!


Come Back

Come back, baby, come back. Don’t walk: run back. I don’t wanna hear no talk back so come back, baby, come back. I saw you downtown in the gutter, sucking on a stick of butter. You pathetic little creature. Come back, baby, come back. Happy happy monkey head. I want you in my bed. Come back, baby, comeback. Come back, baby, come back. I went to the doctor; he told me I was sick. Said you better come back, baby. Said you better kiss me quick. I fooled you once, I fooled you twice but this time, baby, I’ll be nice so come back, baby, come back... Shimmy shimmy coco puff you know you ain’t had enough. Come back, baby, come back; come back, baby, comeback. Hit me! Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! I saw you downtown...
Come back, baby, come back... Come back to me.


Admit It!

I know you did it; just admit it! I know you did it; just admit it! I spy with my little eye your back window late at night. What I saw it wasn’t pretty; what I saw it wasn’t pretty! I know you did it; just admit it... I saw you off the leash. I caught you killing time. What you said it sounded sick; what you said it sounded sick! You’re a creeper, you’re a sneaker, you’re a snitcher, you’re a thief. You’re a liar, you’re a lurker, you malinger, you retreat... I know you did it; just admit it... Think you’re above the law. You hit below the belt. What you said it wasn’t funny; what you said it wasn’t funny! Did it! Admit it!


Time To Say Goodbye

Nothing but a lie wrapped up in a smile; dead behind the eyes always was your style. Monday’s right as rain; Tuesday I’m to blame, then you make believe that I’m the one who’s insane. Call me second best so I’ll play second fiddle. Put me to the test and I’ll fail all your riddles. I’m hanging upside down; you’re laughing on the ground. Stop the world let me off of this merry-go-round. You bring the cloudy skies; I’ve finally realized that I’m better, better off without you. You’re such a rainy day; why won’t you go away and leave me better off without you. There was a time we used to shine, but those days are long gone by. No need to cry or wonder why; it’s just time to say goodbye, yeah! There was a time we used to shine, but those days are long gone by.
No need to cry or wonder why; it’s just time to say goodbye, yeah! You bring the cloudy skies; I’ve finally realized that I’m better, better off without you. You’re such a rainy day; why won’t you go away and leave me better off without you. Better off…


Barrel Of Monkeys

I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried real hard but I couldn’t get the money. He’s calling me baby but he ain’t my honey. I fell into a barrel of monkeys. It started with a rumor and it ended with a gun and somewhere in the middle I got burned up by the sun. When I rose up like a phoenix I was feeling #1. It just all goes to show you it ain’t over ’til it’s done. Who what where and I don’t know why but you’re only as good as the drugs you buy. Another suicide on the 405; another night of drinking in another dive. There’s a million dead stars in the night-time sky; I’d shed a little tear but there’s no time left to cry. I saw a giant head driving down Hollywood boulevard! I came from the land of ice and snow seeking fame and fortune where the plastic grows. Murder, earthquake, riot, fire--I tried to put it out
but it just fed my desire! I got a brand new name and a brand new nose and the crowd keeps yelling, "Baby go, go, go!" I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried so hard but I couldn’t get the money. Love me two times except for Sunday. I fell into a barrel of monkeys.
