Title
- On the day the duck was born
- The fox was watching all along
- He said, "land ho!" when he saw the duck
- The duck came up onto the land
- The fox saw her and he just laughed
- That good-looking fox only knew one trick
- He could break hearts just lickety-split
- The duck knew this game she had to quit
- And her own pond she was headed to quick
- Goodbye little fox
- Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan
- Transmission's shot, no back up plan
- Will they hitch a ride?
- Or get into a fight?
- Move to the West Coast
- Pack up their things
- The winters are gray
- Now so are the dreams
- They tried, to make it all right
- All out little wishes have run dry
- Made it to the water, waded in the lies
- When we felt the heat
- Couldn't turn it into fire
- Too caught up in our own desires
- Said "I do" in the month of May
- Said "I don't" the very next day
- Will they try again?
- Or is it doom for them?
- Moved to a city
- Where hippies run wild
- Everything's white
- Now so are their smiles
- They tried, to fight the good fight
- We're split right in half
- It's making me crazy
- A two-headed brat
- Tied to the other for life
- A family feud
- The Red and the Blue now
- It's truth against truth
- I'll see you in hell, I don't mind
- Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
- Rest you head on this heart of mine
- Tell me, honey, cause you look so blue
- Just how did they, did they get to you?
- If it's all a waste of time
- I'm gonna spent it
- Yours and mine.
- Someone's in the kitchen
- Cooking hearts over the stove
- Don't lie to me, never say goodbye to me
- I don't want to be here alone
- Someone's at the front door
- Selling Band-Aids for our sores
- You can bleed it, as long as they don't see it
- We're not going to be ignored
- Come on darling, let's hang around
- Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town.
- If it's all a dirty shame,
- I'm gonna do it night and day
- Did you ever get the feeling
- That you don't belong
- Said the teacher in the classroom
- I think there's something wrong
- But your desks are too heavy
- And your walls are too white
- Your rules are all wrong
- And it's either run or fight
- I'm still running
- I'm still running
- Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
- Rest you head on this heart of mine
- Come on darling, let's hang around
- Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town
- If it's all a waste of time
- I'm gonna spend it
- Yours and mine
- I spend the afternoon in cars
- I sit in traffic jams for hours
- Don't push me
- I am not ok
- The sky is blue most every day
- The lemons grow like tumors
- They are tiny suns
- Infused with sour
- Lonely as a cloud
- In the Golden State
- Was the summer that I spent..."
- The only substance is the fog
- And it hides all that has gone wrong
- Can't see a thing
- Inside the maze
- There is a bridge adored and famed
- The Golden spine of engineering
- Whose back is heavy
- With my weight
- Be still this old heart
- Be still this old skin
- Drink you last drink
- Sin your last sin
- Sing your last song
- About the beginning
- Sing your song loud
- So the people can hear
- Be still this sad day
- Be still this sad year
- Hope your last hope
- Fear your last fear
- You're not the only one
- My falling shape will draw a line
- Between the blue of sea and sky
- I'm not a bird
- I'm not a plane
- I took a taxi to the Gate
- I will not go to school again
- Four seconds was
- The longest wait
- My baby loves me
- I'm so happy
- Happiness makes me
- A modern girl
- I took my money
- And bought a TV
- TV Brings me
- Closer to the world
- My baby loves me
- I'm so hungry
- Hunger makes me
- A modern girl
- I took my money
- And bought a donut
- The hole's the size of
- The entire world
- My baby loves me
- I'm so angry
- Anger makes me
- A modern girl
- I took my money
- I couldn't buy nothin'
- I'm sick of this
- Brave new world
- My whole life
- was like a picture
- of a sunny day
- My whole life
- looked like a picture
- of a sunny day
- So you want to be entertained?
- Please look away
- We're not here 'cause we want to entertain
- Please go away (don't go away)
- Reality is the new fiction, they say
- Truth is truer in these days, truth is man-made
- If you're here cause you want to be entertained
- Please go away
- If you're heart is done, Johnny get your gun
- Join the rank and file, on your TV dial
- You come around looking 1984
- You're such a bore, 1984
- Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore
- It's better than before
- You come around sounding 1972
- You did nothing new with 1972
- Where is the fuck you?
- Where's the black and blue
- Hey! Look around they are lying to you
- Can't you see it is just a silly ruse?
- They are lying, and I am lying too.
- All you want is entertainment,
- Rip me open it's free
- 1, 2, 3! If you wanna take a shot at me,
- Get in line
- 1, 2, 3! I've had all my shots
- and I'm fine
- 1, 2, 3! If you haven't had enough of me,
- Well get in line, line
- 1, 2, 3! You too deserve it now,
- it's all right
- 1, 2, 3! We can drown in mediocrity
- It feels sublime
- 1, 2, 3! It feels like someone pushed the rewind
- 1, 2, 3! Give it to me easily,
- my feeble mind needs time
- 1, 2, 3! Make it sweet and syrupy with rhyme
- [Don't drag me down,
- I'm not falling down]
- The grip of fear is already here
- The lines are drawn,
- Whose side are you on?
- Sweet like my tomato
- Red cherry tomato
- Down at the market pick out the ripe one
- Tempting me sorely and I want to bite one
- Wait, wait save it for later
- We had a good time at the beginning
- It tasted just like all the things I was missing
- I'll go at full boil 'til you
- stop stop stop stop me
- Later
- Stay and I will make you dinner
- Taste, each dish will be better
- After the first bite say it's delicious
- But then appetite isn't what we'd predicted
- Would you want to head it up later?
- Rollercoaster, want to go back to the way things were
- I'm on a rollercoaster, want to get back on the Tilt-a-Whirl
- I'm dizzy and faithless, where is the ground?
- You said this thing would not go upside down
- Rollercoaster, want to go back to the way things were
- All right...
- Sweet like my tomato
- Red cherry tomato
- I know that some of our days are bitter
- Stay will me honey and things could get better
- Wait, wait until later
- I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
- The water's bloody with the ones who came before
- Hey, she made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
- Yeah, you know you gotta pray for,
- Something better than what you've got
- I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
- This runway's rotten with the dirt and the weeds
- Hey, he made you say it, yeah they made you say it
- Yeah, you know you said it out loud
- You never stay for, now you gotta pray for
- Something better than what you've got
- I booked my ticket
- And I packed my bag
- My flight is leaving
- And our time had passed
- I'm tired of knocking on a door that just won't budge
- Locked out of the engine I'm just a wheel that you have spun
- But who's to say I don't have wings
- But who's to say I don't have wings
- My dear, look at my face. I've been waiting for you in the same old place. I've got a long time for love. Jewels could spill from my cup. But it's all locked down, and I'm all locked up. I've got a long time for love. A woman is not a girl. I could show you a thing or two. I've got a long time for love. Come on let's go to the mat. Hit the floor honey, let's battle it out. I've got a long time for love.
- Slow moves and dirty tricks
- Want it like you never have
- Timing and tiger strength
- Strategy will put you past
- Show me your darkest side
- And you better be my bloody match
- First things first, let's play a game. It won't hurt, just say my name. I've got a long time for love. Roll the dice, pick your card. Let's see if your number is up. I've got a long time for love. Pony up, try and guess my hand, what have I learned from experience? I've got a long time for love. Let's call it my royal flush, I'll show you what to do with it. I've got a long time for love.
- Slow moves and dirty tricks
- Want it like you never have
- Timing and tiger strength
- Strategy will put you past
- Show me your darkest side
- And you better be my bloody match
- Let's call it love.
- My dear, look at my face. I've been waiting for you in the same old place. I've got a long time for love. My body is all shook up, like a bottle of pop and I wanna go off. I've got a long time for love. Lock the door, lock it on up. I won't let you out 'til I've had enough. I've got a long time for love. One thing, one thing more, one thing more before you go. I've got a long time for love.
- Slow moves and dirty tricks
- Want it like you never have
- Timing and tiger strength
- Strategy will put you past
- Show me your darkest side
- And you better be my bloody match
- Oh little light
- That shines for me in the dark of the night
- Oh little sigh
- Sometimes I follow you all the way home
- I would almost have to ask you
- I hate to be led
- So give me a spark I can look for instead
- How do you do it
- This bitter and bloody world
- Keep it together and shine for your family
- How do you do it
- With the visions of worst to come
- Live in the present
- And spin off the rays of sun
- Oh little beam
- Splitting the fog and the dirt in between
- Oh simplify
- Like a problem you try to work out in your mind
- I would almost have to ask you
- It's clumsy when said
- So give me a spark I can look for instead
