Pariah

Recommended Posts

Well she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash
And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend
And I really tried my best to get across to her
But nothing she would say could be defended

 

Well her birthday suit it was her only present
When I looked into her eyes, no history
And I told her eating people wasn't pleasant
But she laughed a snake eye laugh and walked away from me


And I watched her as she walked across the coals
I watched her as she walked across the coals

 

Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird
And I'm your nightmare surfer babe
Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard
You still looking for the perfect microwave?

 

So I really did my best to get across to her
I said: "One day every pebble hits the beach"
And I kissed her face and held her like a long-lost friend
But she was too far out there to be reached
To be reached
She was too far out there

 

She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird
I'm your nightmare surfer babe
Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard
'You still looking for the perfect microwave?

 

And the sun came up over the mountain
And the waves rolled in across the bay
And the fabulous brightly-coloured birds flew up out of the forest
And she said "Well we're all heaven's beautiful children living together in paradise
Lie down my dear... you're going to enjoy this"

 

And she looked like she'd had sex
With a Tyrannosaurus Rex

 

Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird, old man
I'm your nightmare surfer babe
Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard
'You still looking for that perfect microwave?
Perfect microwave

She came down from Cincinnati
It took her three days on a train
Looking for some peace and quiet
Hoped to see the sun again

But now, she lives down by the ocean
She's taking care to look for sharks
They hang out in the local bars
And they feed right after dark

 

Can't you feel them circling, honey?
Can't you feel them swimming around?

You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town

 

She's saving up all of her money
Wants to hit it south in May
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
Somewhere down Monserrat Way
But the money's good and the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She's getting post cards from the road

 

Can't you feel 'em closing in, honey?
Can't you feel 'em schooling around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town

 

Sailed off to Antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Looking for some peace and quiet
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now, she feels like a remora
Cross the school still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
Of the sharks that can swim on the land

 

Can't you feel 'em circling, honey?
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town

Packing up

Ready to leave
Heading out
It's been a good night
Now we're going home

 

Heading out
Into the dark
Moving fast
Lights cut a path
Through the gathering gloom

 

Arrive alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes
Arrive Alive...
Eyes in the night
They're keeping me right
They're guiding me
Arrive Alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes

Eyes in the night
Keeping me right
Eyes in the night

 

Flying through
Towns cloaked in fog
Looking in
People asleep
Now they're safe and warm
Behind closed doors

 

Lying back
Feeling the speed
Knowing that
We're on the move
Now we're eating up
The miles from home

 

Arrive alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes
Arrive Alive...
Eyes in the night
They're keeping me right
They're guiding me
Arrive Alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes
Eyes in the night
Keeping me right
Eyes in the night

Arrive alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes
Arrive Alive...
Eyes in the night
They're keeping me right
They're guiding me
Arrive Alive...
We're heading for home
Before the dawn comes

 

Eyes in the night - Arrive Alive
Eyes in the night - Arrive Alive

If I could I would change how it went for us
If I could I would redo everything
If I could I would change what they think of us
If I could I would

 

Out of a dream, a mystical dream
Where reason flies
A forever scene of one figurine
Where beauty never dies

 

It's all about moments and if you were there
You'd see all the lust and the fire in her stare
The context is fluid, the subject is sin
The moment of madness begins

 

Lady Macbeth
Marked for death
Lady Macbeth
With every breath

 

Lady Macbeth
I see you everywhere
Every beat of your heart
Every breath in the air
It's dark in the day every now and again
Your story is just 'round the bend
The dream that never ends

 

Into the fire, the forever fire
It's out of control
Send bishop to squire into the mire
They won't make your whole

 

It's all about living the life that you make
You're haunted by ghosts of the lives that you take
You'll never repay it the cost of your sin
The moment of madness begins

 

Lady Macbeth
Marked for death
Lady Macbeth
With every breath

 

Lady Macbeth
I see you everywhere
Every beat of your heart
Every breath in the air
It's dark in the day every now and again
Your story is just 'round the bend
The dream that never ends

 

Out of a dream, a mystical dream
On wings of desire
A forever scene of figurine
A never-ending fire

 

It's all about moments and if you were there
You'd see all the lust and the fire in her stare
No rest for the weary, no end to the scene
Like some kind of evil machine

 

Lady Macbeth
Marked for death
Lady Macbeth
With every breath

 

Lady Macbeth
I see you everywhere
Every beat of your heart
Every breath in the air
It's dark in the day every now and again
Your story is just 'round the bend
The dream that never ends

 

If I could I would....

Beneath the moonlit sky
Shadows walk beside the water
Sad goodbyes

Whispered on the shore

 

Hear those wind chimes play
They serenade the shadowed lovers
Sing and fade away
Like California promises

 

"I will never love another
Wait for me 'til I return"

 

But she never will
He waits for her beside the water
Faithful still

To California promises

"                       "

"                       " 

- the complete lyrics of the 1812 Overture

(Sorry, not sorry)

 

There actually are lyrics—the original orchestration called for a large choir—and the English translation apparently looks something like this: 

 

Mighty Lord, preserve us from jeopardy.
Take Thee now our faith and loud crying in penitence.
Grant victory o'er our treacherous and cruel enemies
And to our land bring peace.
O mighty Lord hear our lowly prayer,
And by Thy shining holy light.
Grant us, O Lord, peace again.
O mighty Lord hear our prayer
and save our people
Forever, forever!

Ridin' in the slow, slow lane
Throttlin' down
Ridin' in the slow, slow lane
Taking time to look around

 

Everybody's heading into town
But we are not
Volume's up and the window's down
Feelin' hot, hot, hot

 

You and me together, babe
Gonna let it all roll
'Cause everything is better now
When we take it slow

 

Ridin' in the slow, slow lane
Life's the blink of an eye, my, my
Ridin' in the slow, slow lane
Blue angels paint the sky

 

We don't have a worry
Just a surfer and his girl
Everything is in our reach
Not a care in the world

 

Great to get a second chance
Won't need a third
Only one direction now
Shout it out, forward

 

Drivin' in the slow, slow lane
Watch the fog disappear, my dear
Ridin' in the slow, slow lane
Maybe stop and grab a beer

 

Oh, that summer sun, wind in your hair
Half the fun is getting there

 

When you're ridin' in the slow, slow lane (slow lane)
Good life's in our reach
Ridin' in the slow, slow lane (slow lane)
Meet us at the beach

 

Drivin' in the slow, slow lane (slow lane, slow lane)
Ridin' in the slow, slow lane (slow lane)
Drivin' in the slow lane (slow lane)
Ridin' in the slow lane (slow lane)
Slow lane

Where did you sleep last night?
Under the cold street light
Who last called you by your name?

 

Where did you leave your peace?
Other half of your broken leash
Why did you run so far away?

 

Lost dog
Something 'bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?

 

I don't know if I want to know where you've been
Lost dog
Maybe I'll let you in

 

Home's not a word you say
Something made you stray
Off like a feather in the wind

 

Where do you find the ground?
Let yourself be found
If I open my door

 

Make you my friend
Are you gonna run off and get lost again?

 

Lost dog
Something 'bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?

 

I don't know if I want to know where you've been
Lost dog
Maybe I'll let you in

 

You don't have to live this way
Hiding from the pouring rain
Running through the hunger and the pain

 

Lost dog
Something 'bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?

 

I don't know if I want to know where you've been
But lost dog,
Maybe I'll let you in

 

There's a broken in your eyes and it pulls me in
Will you let anybody get close again

I've no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there
At nine
I don't think the registrar
Will be very pleased
When we show up an hour late
Like two frozen peas


Both now facing for the first time
Presently and past
Something that begins with M
And ends in alas
More than not complete disaster
Even form the start
What could it be...
It's Matrimony

 

I know how you've dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money we'll save
And you'll see it's worthwhile
It won't please our mums and dads
But they don't even know,
Besides if they did what's the betting
They wouldn't even go

 

You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony

 

I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
That have made me so glad
Every other hour that I spend with you
Is not in the least bit sad
Quite the opposite in fact
And if you don't believe me
Here's the proof
Ask me if I and I'll say "Aye, I do"

You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony

 

Marriage-the joining together of the two people
For better or for worse Till death them do part
Ole !

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile

This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life

Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking

Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside

Gee but it's great to be back home,
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long my friend,
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree.
It's the same old story
Everywhere I go,
I get slandered,
Libeled,
I hear words I never heard
In the Bible.
And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine,
Two steps away from the county line,
Just trying to keep my customers
satisfied,
Satisfied.

Deputy Sheriff said to me
Tell me what you come here for, boy.
You better get your bags and flee.
You're in trouble boy,
And now you're heading into more.
It's the same old story
Everywhere I go,
I get slandered,
Libeled,
I hear words I never heard
In the Bible.
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine.

The long and winding road, that leads, to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door
The wild and windy night, that the rain, washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way

Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know, the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back, to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here, a long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me waiting), lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands
my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and a one-man band.

Homeward bound,
I wish I was homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me,
the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be,

Homeward bound,
I wish I was homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me
in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me.

Homeward bound,
I wish I was homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.
Silently for me.

I can think of younger days when to live for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow

How can you mend a broken heart ?
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (tell me)
How can you stop that old sun from shining ?
What makes the world go round ?

How can you mend this broken man ? (yeah)
How can a loser ever win ?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one ever told us about the sorrow (so)

How can you mend a broken heart ? (and mine is)
How can you stop the rain from falling down ? (baby)
How can you stop that old sun from shining ?
What makes the world go round? (and sometime I have to say, yeah)

(Tell me)
Help me mend my broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna live again, baby

How can you mend this broken man ? (yeah, somebody tell me)
How can a loser ever win ? (baby)
Help me mend my... This old broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again

How can you mend this broken heart ? (somebody please tell me)
How can you stop the rain from falling down ?
(I wanna know. I know my my clothes are all wet, tell me)
How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me ?

And let it be like they said it would be -
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me ?

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

And when you're out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me ?

And when you've got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be
Following you

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you

You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all

There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be
Following you

I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand

I'll never beat you
I'll never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by

You, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend

No need to worry
No need to cry
I'm your messiah and you're the reason why

'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

You're just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make you happy when you're sad
Make you good when you are bad

I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscious
I am love
All I really need is to know that
You believe

Yeah, I would die for you, yeah
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you

Yeah, say one more time

You, I would die for you
Darling if you want me to
You, I would die for you
2 3 4 You

I would die for you
I would die for you
You, I would die for you
You, I would die for you

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean

To ride on the crest of the wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living

In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing

Part of beginning to understand


Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to,
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit

The men who have served you so long and so well

 

Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world

To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell

Joyful and loving in letting it be.

 

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to,
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit

The men who have served you so long and so well.

 

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to,

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H club

Both active in the FFA


After graduation Mary Anne went out

Lookin' for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town

And all she found was Earl


Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married

ThatWanda started gettin' abused
She'd put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And makeup to cover a bruise

 

Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

 

Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide

 

That Earl had to die

Good bye, Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted alright to me, Earl
You feelin' weak?
Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl
Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp, Earl

 

The cops came by to bring Earl in
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their hats and said, "Thank you ladies
If you hear from him let us know"

 

Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all

 

So the girls bought some land at a roadside stand
Out on highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
And they don't lose any sleep at night

 

'Cause Earl had to die
Good bye, Earl
We need a break

Let's go out to the lake, Earl
We'll pack a lunch

And stuff you in the trunk, Earl
Well, is that alright? Good!

Let's go for a ride, Earl

 

Ooh hey hey hey
Ah hey hey hey
Well, hey hey hey

Met a man on the street last night
He said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night
Thought he was crazy till
I watched Him heal a blind man
I watched Him heal a blind man, now I see

 

I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore

 

Met a girl in a chair with wheels
But no one else would see her
Met a girl in a chair with wheels
Everyone was so afraid
To even look down on her
And she just spread her little wings and flew away

 

I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore
Live here anymore

 

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

 

Met a kid on a bridge last night
Contemplating freedom
Met a kid on a bridge last night
And he said, "I'm tired of this maddening life
And I'm ready to go meet Jesus"
I said, "He's a friend of mine
Met Him just last night
And it's all right, yeah
It's all right, yeah"

 

I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore
Then I will walk, yes I will walk
With patience through that open door
I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go
I'll live this life until this life
Won't let me live here anymore
Live here anymore

 

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

 

Met a man on the street last night
Said his name was Jesus
Met a man on the street last night

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on an assembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black

 

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand

 

I'd get it one piece at a time and it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round

 

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years

 

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home

 

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a '53 and the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone

 

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adapter kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlights, it was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on

 

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin"

 

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds

 

I got it one piece at a time and it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around

 

Uh yeah, Red Ryder, this is the Cotton Mouth
In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac come on,

Huh, this is the Cotton Mouth
And negatory on the cost of this mo-chine there, Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Uh, what model is it?

 

Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58 '59 automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile....
