- Time won't change you
- Money won't change you
- I haven't got the faintest idea
- Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
- I need something you change your mind
- Drugs won't change you
- Religion won't change you
- Science won't change you
- Looks like I can't change you
- I try to talk to you, to make things clear
- but you're not even listening to me...
- And it comes directly from my heart to you...
- I need something to change your mind.
- Hold the paper up to the light
- (some rays pass right through)
- Expose yourself out there for a minute
- (some rays pass right through)
- Take a little rest when the rays pass through
- Take a little time off when the rays pass through
- Go ahead and mis it up...Go ahead and tie it up
- In a long distance telephone call
- Hold on to that paper
- Hold on to that paper
- Hold on becuase it's been taken care of
- Hold on to that paper
- See if you can fit it on the paper
- See if you can get it on the paper
- See if you can fit it on the paper
- See if you can get it on the paper
- Had a love affair but it was only paper
- (some rays they pass right through)
- Had a lot of fun, could have been a lot better
- (some rays they pass right through)
- Take a little consideration, take every combination
- Take a few weeks off, make it tighter, tighter
- But it was never, it was never written down
- Still might be a chance that it might work out (if you)
- Hold on to that paper
- Hold on to that paper
- Hold on because it'll be taken care of
- Hold on to that paper
- Don't think I can fit it on the paper
- Don't think I can get it on the paper
- Go ahead and rip up, rip up the paper
- Go ahead and tear up, tear up the paper
- Think of London, a small city
- It's dark, dark in the daytime
- The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
- If they want to, if they want to
- CHORUS
- I'm checking them out
- I'm checking them out
- I got it figured out
- I got it figured out
- There's good points and bad points
- Find a city
- Find myself a city to live in.
- There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
- A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
- Look over there!...A dry ice factory
- A good place to get some thinking done
- Down el Paso way things get pretty spread out
- People got no idea where in the world they are
- They go up north and come back south
- Still got no idea where in the world they are.
- Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
- Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
- Do I smell? I smell home cooking
- It's only the river, it's only the river.
- Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons,
- packed up and ready to go
- Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,
- a place where nobody knows
- The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
- I'm getting used to it now
- Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto,
- I've lived all over this town
- This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
- this ain't no fooling around
- No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
- I ain't got time for that now
- Transmit the message, to the receiver,
- hope for an answer some day
- I got three passports, a couple of visas,
- you don't even know my real name
- High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
- everything's ready to roll
- I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime,
- I might not ever get home
- This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
- this ain't no fooling around
- This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.,
- I ain't got time for that now
- Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
- Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
- You oughta know not to stand by the window
- somebody might see you up there
- I got some groceries, some peant butter,
- to last a couple of days
- But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
- headphones, ain't got no records to play
- Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
- Gonna be different this time
- Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
- I can't write nothing at all
- This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
- this ain't no fooling around
- I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
- I ain't got no time for that now
- Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
- we blended with the crowd
- We got computer, we're tapping pohne lines,
- I know that ain't allowed
- We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
- or in a suit and a tie
- I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
- I don't know what I look like!
- You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
- we make a pretty good team
- Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving,
- you ought to get some sleep
- Get you instructions, follow directions,
- then you should change your address
- Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day,
- whatever you think is best
- Burned all my notebooks, what good are
- notebooks? They won't help me survive
- My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
- the burning keeps me alive
- Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,
- don't want to catch no disease
- Try to be careful, don't take no chances,
- you better watch what you say
- Do you remember anyone here?
- No you don't remember anything at all
- I'm sleeping, I'm flat on my back
- Never woke up, had no regrets
- There's a party in my mind...And it never stops
- There's a party up there all the time...They'll
- party till they drop
- Other people can go home...Other peoplle they can split
- I'll be here all the time...I can never quit
- Take a walk through the land of shadows
- Take a walk through the peaceful meadows
- Try not to look so disappointed
- It isn't what you hoped for, is it?
- There's a party in my mind...And I hope it never stops
- I'm stuck here in this seat...I might not stand up
- Other people can go home...Everyone else will split
- I'll be here all the time...I can never quit
- Everything is very quiet
- Everyone has gone to sleep
- I'm wide awake on memories
- There memories can't wait.
- Air...Air
- Hit me in the face
- I run faster
- Faster into the air
- (I say to myself)
- What is happening to my skin?
- Where is that protection that I needed?
- Air can hurt you too
- Air can hurt you too
- Some people say not to worry about the air
- Some people never had experience with...
- Air...Air
- It can break your heart
- So remember when the weather gets rough
- (You'll say to yourself)
- What is happening to my skin?
- Where is that protection that I needed?
- Air can hurt you too
- Air can hurt you too
- Some people say not to worry about the air
- Some people don't know shit about the...
- Air...
- Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
- The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
- The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
- They play it once again, they play it all night long.
- Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
- Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

- Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
- Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
- could be so exciting, and so much fun.

- could be so exciting, could be so much fun.
- Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.

- I'm mad...And that's a fact
- I found out...Animals don't help
- Animal think...They're pretty smart
- Shit on the ground...See in the dark.
- They wander around like a crazy dog
- Make a mistake in the parking lot
- Always bumping into things
- Always let you down down down down.

- They never come when you call them
- They're never there when you need them
- The nevere come when you call them down down down down.

- They have untroubled lives
- They think everything's nice
- They like to laugh at people
- They're setting a bad example
- (Go ahead) Laugh at me.
- Electric guitar gets run over by a car on the highway
- This is a crime against the state
- This is the meaning of life.
- To tune this electric guitar
- An electric guitar is brought in to a court of law
- The judge and the jury (twelve members of the jury)
- All listening to records
- This is a crime against the state
- This is the verdict they reach:
- Never listen to electric guitar
- Electric guitar is copies, the copy sounds better
- Call this the law of justice, call this freedom and liberty
- I thought I perjure myself, right infront of the jury!
- Is this a crime against the state? No!
- This is the verdict they reach:
- Someone controls electric guitar.
- And all I see is little dots
- Some are smeared and some are spots
- Feels like a murder but that's alright
- Somebody said there's too much light
- Pull down the shade and it's alright
- It'll be over in a minute or two.

- The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
- They pick the sound and let it drop
- Nobody know what they're talking about
- I'm charged up...I'm kinda wooden
- I'm barely moving...I study motion
- I study myself...I fooled myself
- I'm charged up...It's pretty intense.
- I'm charged up...Don't put me down
- Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around
- I feel mean...I feel O.K.
