Got to go. Talk to you later.

I Wouldn't Bet The Farm 
 
 
 

We were friends

And that's how it begins

We moved slowly through a park one summer night 

I've been meaning to tell you that I've been somewhat upset

Not that it is important, but I haven't done it yet

I know better than to fall in love, if that's what you call it

I wouldn't bet the farm, but I guess that's what I did 

Your know I'm lost without you

I'm paralyzed

That's why I've got to

Repair my whine

In the nick of time

Shoo the mime

I know I ought to 

Now and then I want more than a friend

And I'm willing to destroy what isn't mine 

Why why why?

Truck 
 
 
 

I thought about it

But you were wrong

I shouldn't stop it

Doing it all night and all through the day

I might dick around forever 

No no

Maybe so 

In and out of lanes up and down the avenue

Hoping that a truck will come and run me over soon 

Now I know I've got it

I see a stranger and I have to shout it

Maybe the things I say and do are not too cool

But it's so unlikely

Only Human 
 
 
 

Late last night she gave me a hand

You know that I love it and I don't give a damn

Can you relate to me lovely, several hundred more times?

If you fell through the ceiling that'd be mighty divine

She's got long lash eyes and faking surprise

Get my balls, decide

Maybe I should go hide 

Human

Only human

Whether she leaves

Whether shallow 

The same thing happened the very next day

Until I grabbed me a napkin after cleaning my plate

She said that I look good when I'm going away

So I kept on walking till I got to LA

There were song men cheating on fourth of July

And a threadbare suit that was easy to try 

The same thing happened the very next day

Until I tipped up to the wall and ordered Mount Gay

A splash of coke and a lime and oh! I can't pay

The sun keeps a howling down about "What'd that criminal say?"

You've got that seminal hit that flew back you gack bit of that push and pull back

Over that love shack here's a forecast you can't shoo that bitterland tune back

Mr. Wonderful 
 
 
 

I'm feeling well I'm feeling fine

I've got the blues and they're not mine

Everybody loves to see

A greedy man feeling ugly 

And I might fall tomorrow

With these wounds I stole and borrowed 

It chokes me up to have to see

It cracks me up to hear your dreams

And what you really think they mean 

Everybody pays to see

A handsome man take money 

And I might fall tomorrow

It's a bull market on sorrow

Idiot Box 
 
 
 

Please leave me out of this

All I wanted was a kiss, don't you believe me?

When you go back and forth, could it be that

Your love is pure for sport though you seethe at

My buddies the highons, who follow the Lions

The trouble with crying is that I'd be lying 

All I ever wanted was a true love

Without feeling I would have to memorize the words to her favorite song

And it's by me 

Please lead me into bliss

All I want is to be missed, you've got to believe me

When you go back and forth could it be that

Your love is of a sort that I sneeze at

Listen to me, listen to me

I'm not going to be what you want me to be 

We live in idiot box

I Want You To Do Things That I Say 
 
 
 

Oh no not this again

I thought that you knew it

I'm a particular man

I'm crafting my bliss 

I thought that you understood how to engage me

No no don't hesitate

You know I'd like this chance to relate

I'd like to take this chance to relate

I want you to do things that I say 

Tell me it's forgivable

Gabby, make me a highball

Be unforgettable

Catch me when I fall

Imbecile grin and all 

Here we go from the top again

I hope that you get this

I'm a very motivated man

With an opportunity to state

I'd like to take this chance to relate

I want you to do things that I say

Hard To Believe 
 
 
 

Who wants her now?

A queue from a crowd winds around several city blocks

She's been interred by her own words

And her suitors' panting speech is mostly slurred 

Baby, you are hard to believe 

And it's all in the way she loves to share

All the misery that she can not bear

To relate to her glad-handed affairs 

The high life is hers

It just occurs every time she opens up her mouth

And when she does, it is because

Her elephantine pride has spied a mouse

Don't Hurry Me 
 
 
 

Don't hurry me

I'm not laying in bed

I'm out on the street

Just like I said

Head in the left lane and feet in the right

I'm comfortable here

All day and all night 

Don't hurry me

I heard what you said

Move it or lose it

And it is my head 

But can I draw flies?

Yeah! 

Please mister sir you don't understand

I'm really tired and I've been taking a nap

Don't hurry me 

Oh!

Oh! Oh! my head

You have driven over my head

If I could stand

I'd lay down again

Blues In Diane 
 
 
 

Blues in Diane

Will I ever get to see her again?

Can I even believe till then?

She's been so far right 

Blues in Diane

Walking slowly in the sea and the sand

Like in a movie where they're holding hands

And they never fight 

We don't like to speak about it

But when we do we shout it to the moon 

We don't like to scream about it

We leave 'em in our little thought balloons

Bitter Greens 
 
 
 

I hear laughter up among the cobwebs

They rise and fall with the evening breeze

I'm lying on my back on top of valentines

Never sent, they make me sick to read 

I say I do and then I don't

I say I will and then I won't

Uh uh baby, it's my turn to hide 

From blonde to black to brown and then to redhead

She sighs and I'm in darker clouds

It didn't make much difference when I knew her

It doesn't make much difference now 

Bitter greens with vinaigrette

Your table sir for one is set

Your waiter's name is Steve

He's kind of slow 

I say I will and then I won't

I say I do and then I don't

Uh uh baby, it's my turn to fly 

I've always wanted to be by your side

I've always wanted too much

I think if I forget her I'll be alright

Though we both know I'm the one that's up and gone 

Bitter greens with vinaigrette

Your table sir for one is set

Your waiter is deceased

Help yourself

When You Wake Up 
 
 
 

Come to me, don't slip away too far

You can be too much the way you are 

I'd love to stay, but really

Call me someday when you wake up 

Please believe I'm not in the mood for a fight

Can't you see?

I've only turned out the light 

I would love to say sincerely

It'll be ok as it once was

I don't want to stay and I know it's early

Call me someday when you wake up

Ruthless 
 
 
 

I'm mounted on the fences that have organized my head

As cameras roam the country side

If they don't shoot me I'll be dead

I was sent here to protect the crop

But I'm tempted to defect and drop the first approaching thought 

All the functionary heads I've tumbled

How can I subvert this mental state?

This dagger poking dictates I might fumble

I'm ruthless

I'm afraid 

The pile of severed noses rises higher to spite my face

Should I lop off another one or reconsider my fate?

In the stillness I know as God

There is a serious lack of dialogue

And it troubles me 

Here's one last boring episode of that sitcom in which I starred

I felt it was a drama and that really fed the lark

But I'm not amused

I'm gonna pitch strikes through that picture tube

July 
 
 
 

Here where I rose and I fell

Crickets cajoling

I in the once and future dwell

Troubled with not knowing 

This is not the place that I want to be

Not even a race that I want to lead

Should have been ahead but I'm on my knees

Can't even begin to take the dis from ease 

Now what the rumor foretold

Is slowly unfolding

How in this heat I can still feel cold

Is nothing consoling 

Maybe it's just July

I'm Gonna Dedicate This One To You 
 
 
 

Whatever you said, I've already heard

You've said it a thousand times

I rest assured 

I'm wasting my time 

Whatever you said, it all sounds the same

You've shown up a thousand times

And you'll show up again 

I'm gonna dedicate this one to you

And your romantic lies 

I'm all out of moonshine, I know it's serious

You've said it a thousand times

I'm almost curious
