[Pariah]

The other day I checked my bank account

And I could swear it was the wrong amount

And I didn't understand, 'cause I've been working hard

 

For the life of me, I didn't know where it went

I hadn't even paid the rent

Then the Mercedes pulled up into the yard

 

Oh, Lord, I should've seen it coming

This time I'm in deep

 

Well I'm headed to the poor house or headed to jail

And if I end up there I ain't making bail

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case

'Cause I ran out of money some time ago

But to look at my wife you'd never know

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste

On a beer budget

 

Well, my throat dried up and my heart just sunk

As she motioned me over and popped the trunk

And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile

 

And there I was greeted by quite the crew

There was Louis Vuitton and some Jimmy Chu

And that was just the fellas that were sitting on the top of the pile

 

I said, "Baby, there's a Walmart a block away

And I don't think they sell these brands"

 

Well I'm headed to the poor house or headed to jail

And if I end up there I ain't making bail

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case

'Cause I ran out of money some time ago

But to look at my wife you'd never know

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste

On a beer budget

 

All the bills are in my name

They're gonna hall my ass away

And I won't see her pretty face at all

'Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall

 

Well I'm headed to the poor house or headed to jail

And if I end up there I ain't making bail

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case

'Cause I ran out of money some time ago

But to look at my wife you'd never know

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste

On a beer budget

[Xavier Onassiss]

Bo Diddley had him a rockin' big time
But he never made a solitary dime
Ya'll might laugh but it just ain't funny
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money ?

The record man gave him a rag-top car
Said, "Bo, you gonna be a rock 'n roll star
He didn't know he doing anything wrong
When he signed away all of his songs

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Round the world in a station wagon
Workin' the road till his tail was a draggin'
Rockin' and a puffin' and makin' 'em dance
But never once seeing that cash advance

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?

Call the FBI, call the IRS, call the BMI, call Leonard Chess
You know, Bo Diddley never saw enough
From "I'm a Man" and "Who Do You Love ?"
They just ain't cheatin' some rock 'n roll singer
Remember Bo Diddley is a gun slinger

Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley

That's right
Pay Bo Diddley
and Pay Little Richard, too
While you're at it

Pay Bo Diddley, and Little Richard, too

[Joe Walsh]

I am the thief of the highway
Rich man, you better take hold
'Cause last night, while you lie sleeping,
I came to steal all your gold

All the King's horses
All the King's men
Surrounded the chapel
To trap me within

A Lady in waiting
Lips red with rouge
She offered me pleasures
I could not refuse
No, no, no

For I was born
Born for adventure
Women, whisky and sin
No, I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end

All the King's horses
All the King's men
Were drinking and dancing
At Fezewig's Inn

They spoke of my capture
And of my escape
They called it misfortune
But I called it fate
No, no, no

For I was born
Born for adventure
Women, whisky and sin
No, I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end

[Joe Walsh]

When Captain Jonas Psalter
Sailed his ship to sea
Anne Bonny kept him company

The skull and crossbones flew
Above the ocean blue
The captain's men where a pirate's crew

The ships they sought to take
Were of the Spanish Main
A gift from Ferdinand of Spain

And though you rob and kill to find your dream
Your crimes are hardly what they seem

Tortuga held the treasure of a thousand kings
So Jonas planned to steal everything

Two hundred men stood guard
Around the fortune's nest
But Psalter's steel slew all the rest

And when the smoke had cleared
And bloody bodies lay
Everyone could hear the minstrel play

Woah, woah, Jonas Psalter
You've captured every prize
There is to dream of in one life

And so we wonder why
We found you in your bed
With that bullet in your head

[Joe Walsh]

Woke up in rainy autumn
Morning mist beginning to wane
And the birds of the winged trees
Calling my name

Careless the clouds above me
The wind is gently lifting my hair
Where the rivers of the wind fall light rain
Now stand bare

Listen to the flowing streams
Golden in the shelter of my dreams
Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love

Walk alone through the garden
The leaves are wet with morning's tear
And the whispering of someone
Is drawing me near

Content to rest awhile
Pondering the motion of time
Over unforgotten memories
Dipped in wine

Listen to the flowing streams
Golden in the shelter of my dreams
Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love

The god of dusk is falling around me
The night air now restless and dank
Yet the fields are specked with flowers
Few and rank

Moon reflecting off the water
Rippling an image to me
Of the way that it is
And the way that it's going to be

Listen to the flowing streams
Golden in the shelter of my dreams
Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love

Bangkok! Oriental setting

But the city don't know that the city is getting

The crème de la crème of the chess world

In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

 

Time flies! Doesn't seem a minute

Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it

All change! Don't you know that when you

Play at this level, there's no ordinary venue

 

It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings

Or, or this place!

 

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples, but the pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

And if you're lucky, then the god's a she

I can feel an angel sliding up to me

 

One town's very like another

When your head's down over your pieces, brother

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

 

Wait a minute!

You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've seen 'em all!

 

Tea girls, warm and sweet

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist

Whose every move's among the purest

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine!

 

One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the devil walking next to me

 

Siam's gonna be the witness

To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

This grips me more than would a 

Muddy old river or a reclining Buddha

 

Thank God I'm only watching the game

Controlling it

 

I don't see you guys rating

The kind of mate I'm contemplating

I'd let you watch, I would invite you

But the queens we use would not excite you

 

So you'd better go back to you bars, your temples

Your massage parlors

 

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples, but the pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

A little flesh, a little history

I can feel an angel sliding up to me

 

One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the devil walking next to me

[Enforcer84]

I know 

I must try

if I want a different life

 

So baby, 

Here I am

 

If I love you 

Don't leave me, Dear

If I trust you

Don't think that I'm weak

 

I have tried 

to protect

this little heart of mine

so I haven't loved

this might be my first time

[Ternaugh]

Give me time to realize my crime
Let me love and steal.
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real.

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why.
In my heart the fire is burning
Choose my color find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step a step too far.

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry.

Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow, words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You've been talking but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything's not what you see it's over again.

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry.

Give me time to realize my crime
Let me love and steal.
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real.
If it's love you want from me then take it again.

[death tribble]

My apologies. This was not a dare but intended as a threat.

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

[Ternaugh]

Well, I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

(I won't back down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
(I won't back down)
And I won't back down

[Joe Walsh]

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been "When it's right, it's right"
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be here any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
And the thought of loving you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think
Like nibblin' in a little afternoon delight

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please' be waiting for me baby when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up an appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
And the thought of loving you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

[Enforcer84]

Yeah

 

I love to watch you walk

So raw like a jungle cat prowls

I love the way you talk

You whisper your secrets out loud, ooh

I'm tangled in your eyes

Nothing can stop me now

Throw my caution to the wind

Be my savior, be my sin

 

I'll follow where you lead

I hunger, thirst, and bleed

And I will touch the world inside you

Love, I fall down on my knees

I'd borrow, steal, I plead

Just to touch the world inside you

 

Slide through the darkness

A slip of the tongue on your heart, ooh

Creep like a steam-train

Nothing can tear us apart, ooh

So tell me you love me

Just for a little while

Come on honey let me in

Be my savior, be my sin

 

I'll follow where you lead

I hunger, thirst, and bleed

And I will touch the world inside you

Love, I fall down on my knees

I'll borrow, steal and plead

Just to have the world inside you

Ooh, the world inside you

I fall down on my knees, yes I will

Borrow, still and plead

 

Ooh, yeah

 

Throw my caution to the wind

You're my savior, you're my sin

I'll follow where you lead

I hunger, thirst and bleed

And I will touch the world inside you

Oh, love, I fall down on my knees

I borrow, steal and plead

Just to touch the world inside you

 

Honey, I need the world inside you

I got to touch the girl inside you

 

[Pariah]

Well, I stepped off the bus in Memphis 

And stumbled into the first saloon I could find 

I bellied up to the rail and summoned my barkeep 

I ordered up a tequila, some salt and a lime 

And she said, "Son, you ain't from around here, is ya?" 

And I said politely, "No, no ma'am, I ain't."

She said, "Sonny, let me give you a little bit of friendly Southern advice,

We don't use that junk around here for nothing 'cept, well, maybe thinning out paint."

 

And she said, "Son, why don't you take a look around and tell me what you see."

Well, I saw a lot of white felt Stetson hats and gatorskin boots

You know, and every Southern man who had a lady on his arm was drinking whiskey.

 

So I said, "I do not wish to be out of order, ma'am. I am not a tramp or a bum.

The dusty Mexican borderlands are where I have just come from,

And with all due respect and deference, tequila is my preference."

 

So she said, "Relax, honey, you know I would never treat you wrong."

And then she poured me up three fingers of that old Number 7.

She said, "Rest assured, darlin', if we're drinkin' it down here in Dixie,

That's 'cause that's what they're pourin' up in Heaven."

And I said, "Ma'am, your hospitality is well intentioned,

Yes, I know you mean to treat me well. It's just that

Where I come from, born and raised in Arizona, don't you know,

Me and my friends be more likely to be found drinking what they serve down in Hell."

 

And she said, "Son, why don't you just take a look around and tell me what you see."

Well, I saw a lot of furrowed brows under them white felt Stetson hats

And every Southern man who had a lady on his arm was looking kinda angry.

 

So I said, "I do not wish to be out of order, gents. I am not a tramp or a bum.

The dusty Mexican borderlands are where I have just come from.

And with all due respect and deference, tequila is my preference."

 

(Okay, Scotty J., take it away)

 

So she said, "Hey, look, you little pole-cat, you better knock that whiskey back

Before Southern folks get angry and we come and skin you to the bone.

And I ain't exactly sure how that old saying goes, boy, but I do know it underscores the fact

That you best be drinking what the Romans drink when you're drinking down in Rome."

And I said, "Ma'am, I can see that you just do not understand.

And I've been trying to get a proper drink out of this bar now the WHOLE DAMN NIGHT,

So kindly set me up that tequila, honey, and let me get it into my blood

And I will take you and your whiskey-sipping Southern boys up on that there fight."

 

And she said, "Son, why don't you just take yourself a look around and tell me what you see."

Well, I saw a lot of grinding teeth, and I saw a lot of clinching fists out there

And every Southern man who once was over there sitting at the bar was up and coming after me

 

So I said, "I do not wish to be out of order here, gentlemen,

I am not a tramp, and I am not a bum.

The dusty Mexican borderlands are where I have just come from,

And with all due respect and due respect and deference,

Yeah, with all due respect and deference, mmmm,

With all due respect and deference...

 

Gentlemen, kindly do not throw me out ass backwards for hankerin' for a less civilized spirit. 

Why don't I just mosey on along And find my tequila on my way back...

West."

 

Adios, rogando y con o mas rodando.

Katie, bar the door, pass the gunpowder, and praise the Lord,

And as I make haste, yet slowly, to mis amigos you may deem lowly and unholy,

I will tell them what I've learned. Though I've been gulagged and I've been spurned

Si a Roma fueres haz como vieres, or When in Rome do as the Romans do.

But Memphis, why not try something new,

And when the barbarians arrive here at your gate,

Treat us not with fear and hate, for we come not to conquer, or be rude

But to raise a glass and say, "Salud."

[Clonus]

Empty eyes and they are such lonely ones
Under city lights, you feel you're the only one
That's left alive, up and down the empty streets
No stars in your sky, nothing's where it used to be

Oh put some levity back into this life
Take the disillusion away
Put away the things that go bump in the night
That pull you under

That pull you under!

[Michael Hopcroft]

Its a beautiful world we live in

Its a beautiful world
Its a beautiful world
Its a beautiful world
For you, for you, for you

 

Its a wonderful time to be here

Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair
Makes me want to say

Its a wonderful place
Its a wonderful place
Its a wonderful place
For you, for you, for you

 

Hey tell me what I see
Boy and girl with the new clothes on
You can shake it to me all night long hey hey

 

Its a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care
Makes me want to say

Its a beautiful world
Its a beautiful world
Its a beautiful world
For you, for you, for you

For you (Its a beautiful world)
For you (Its a beautiful world)
For you (Its a beautiful world)

(Its a beautiful world)
(Its a beautiful world)
(Its a beautiful world)
(Its a beautiful world)
(Its a beautiful, beautiful world)
(Its a beautiful, beautiful world)

[Hermit]

We are two mariners
Our ship's sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
It's ribs are ceiling beams
It's guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But, I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the whores and hounds
(oh, oh)

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
(oh, oh)

And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind
Then, one day in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But, before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave"

It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat
But, never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever, once turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
(oh, oh)

One night I overheard
The prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty
The following day
I shipped to sea
With a privateer
And in the whistle
Of the wind
I could almost hear
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave

There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"

And then, that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed
And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale

(oh..)

Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth
But, oh, what providence
What divine intelligence
That you should survive
As well as me
It gives my heart great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear
So lean in close
And I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
(oh, oh)

[Ternaugh]

Memories how they fade so fast
Look back there is no escape
Tied down now you see too late
Lovers they will never wait

 

I am a camera
I am a camera

 

Take heart I will never let you go
If you only let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts

 

I am a camera, camera, camera
I am a camera, camera, camera

 

There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea
Taken in tranquility

 

Take heart I will never let you go
If you only let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts

 

I am, I am a camera
I am a camera, I am a camera

 

I am, I am a camera
I am a camera,I am a camera

 

There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea

[Enforcer84]

When you're hurt

Scared

Feel you can't go on

 

With this world

Closing in

All your hope is gone

 

Don't you worry

Don't care at all

Just you call me

I want you to know, want you to know

 

I will be there, baby, baby, baby

I will be there

When you're standing in a world wishing you could escape it

And you pray to your god, tell him you just can't take it

Can't take anymore, then open your door

I will be there

 

When your friends

Let you down

It cuts like a knife

 

And the old

Devil wind, yeah

It blows through your life

 

And those times

When you

Feel you are in Hell

 

Think of me

If you're alone

Pick up the phone

I want you to know, want you to know

 

I will be there, baby, baby, baby

I will be there

When the world is in chaos and you're scared of the night

I will stay with you, 'til the sun brings the light

When the rivers are rising and the tide it takes you down

And you feel you're losing hold and there's nobody around

Don't you worry, I won't let you drown

I will be there

 

If you're lonely

Today

Tomorrow

Tonight

 

If you

Look around

But

There's a hope in sight

 

And those times

When you

Feel you are in Hell

 

Don't you worry

Don't care at all

Just you call

Don't care at all

I want you to know, want you to know

 

I will be there, baby, baby, baby

I will be there

When the world is in chaos and you're scared of the night

I will stay with you, 'til the sun brings the light

When you're standing in a world wishing you could escape it

And you pray to your god, tell him that you just can't take it no more

No more

No more

 

And the rivers are rising and the tide it takes you down

And you feel you're losing hold and there's nobody around

Hey, hey, don't you worry, I won't let you drown

I will be there

I will be there

 

When you're scared of the night

There ain't a friend in sight 

And when it turns to light

I will be there

 

There ain't a friend at all 

Your back's against the wall

Oh Darling just you call

I will be there

 

You can't take anymore

You're heart it hits the floor

When you open the door

I will be there

 

When you're scared of the night

There ain't a friend in sight 

And when it turns to light

I will be there

 

There ain't a friend at all 

Your back's against the wall

Oh Darling just you call

I will be there

 

You can't take anymore

You're heart it hits the floor

When you open the door

I will be there

[Greywind]

Baby, I never gave my heart to anyone, oh no
Used to think that love was a game
I used to make it just for fun
When we spent the night together
Didn't mean it meant that much
Now I just can't live without your touch

I didn't wanna to need you, no
I didn't wanna want you like I do
I didn't mean to fall
Didn't wanna care at all
I didn't wanna need you
Like I need you now

I can't get no sleep
'Coz I keep thinking of you all through the
night, oh yeah
My eyes can't wait to see you again
My arms can't wait to hold you tight oh yeah
And when you're laying here beside me
There is nothing else I need
Never thought that this could ever be

I didn't wanna to need you, oh no
I didn't wanna want you like I do
I didn't mean to fall
Didn't wanna care at all
I didn't wanna need you
Like I need you now

I've always been free
To leave when I wanna leave
But it's not up to me anymore
I didn't wanna need you ...

I didn't wanna to need you, no
I didn't wanna want you like I do
I didn't mean to fall
Didn't wanna care at all
I didn't wanna need you
But I need you now

[Greywind]

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison...

One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison (Poi-son)

I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah
Well I don't want to break these chains
Poison (Poi-son)
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my brain
Poison (Poi-son)
And I don't want to break these chains
Poison

[Greywind]

Loneliness is the coat you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothing to lose, but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely
Without you
Baby
Oh, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
When you're without love

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Not anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Bring it back, baby
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Oh, baby

[Greywind]

I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same

And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for your children
That the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for your children
That the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

When the final line is over and
It's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more

(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store)

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch!

They're marching down the halls
They're crawling up the walls
They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy
Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!

Remember Herman Farbage
While taking out his garbage
He turned around and he did see
Tomatoes hiding in his tree
Now he's just a memory!

I know I'm going to miss her
A tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today
They're marching into San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!

The mayor is on vacation
The governor's fled the nation
The police have gone on strike today
The National Guard has run away
Tomatoes will have their day!

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch
Lunch, lunch
Dinner or lunch, lunch, lunch
Dinner or luuuuuunch

Too good to last
How those four words ring in my ears
A voice from the past has been heard again
Whether it's real or not, I can't say I care

 

But my memory's goin' and my mind is losin' its grip
I'm walkin' on thinnin' ice
Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for

 

Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

 

How can I fight a fire that comes from inside myself
That threatens a total end
So much to lose when I still had so much to learn
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for

 

Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

 

Millions of people, won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments, dissolve into nothin'
As I prepare for the oncoming night

 

Already I feel a creeping coldness, chilling my bones
Dulling my sight and mind
Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed
Nature dies and is reborn but I shan't weather this coming storm

 

Not for me to die with children around my bed
After a happy life
Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in its course
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for

 

Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

 

Millions of people, won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments, dissolve into nothin'
As I prepare for the oncoming night
