You’re sitting ‘round by the 7-11 Drinking cola and a’ talking tough I’m cotton mouthed At the sight of your sweetness And I know you’re gonna call my bluff Ooo ooo ooo You look like somebody That the whole wide world could love Ooo Ooo Ooo I really am nobody That is, nobody to speak of It’s a mighty funny way to start Why did I give you every piece of my heart? When I know you’re gonna tear it apart Oh if I could have you For only just a moment I’d live like a second Was more like forever And a day You’re singing songs Like you’re making an album With Lindsey and the Fleetwood Mac You’re laying down at the foot of my sofa Drawing circles right on my back Ooo Ooo Ooo You say that we’re friendly I’d say that we are more than that Ooo Ooo Ooo The space in between us Tells me right where we are a

Setting Sun 03:47
Will it be special? Will it be cruel? Will you see Jesus? Will he see you? Will you want a ventilator? Will you want the machines? Will you pay for it later? Do we know what that means? It’s just the setting sun Why does it make you blue? You’re not the only one It’s gonna happen to Will you be sleeping? Will you be in love? Will you get a reminder? Or will you get a shove? Will it happen tomorrow? Agonal at sunrise. Do you want to see it coming? Or do you want a surprise? I get all tangled up and worried about it I know you worry too I guess when we finally close our eyes Our worries will be through Will you fight it like a tiger? Will you let it come sweet You are so very shy, girl Will you fear the release?

Lester Bangs 03:51
Play tangerines Play the songs For the bums and tweekers Oooo……Feel the fuzz Squeeze the juice From those orange speakers I’m alive When I play that music Don’t you know It’s revived A quiet heart It told me so It told me so Baby, Lester Bangs told me you and me could (we could learn the) rock and roll Pick up your guitar ‘cause it’s better when it’s all home grown Mama told me so I love the glow Love the smell Of those tubes and wires I’ll fall asleep With my head On the amplifiers We don’t get paid We don’t need love We don’t need food We won’t get laid We came to play We came to groove Baby, Lester Bangs told me you and me could (we could learn the) rock and roll Pick up your guitar ‘cause it’s better when it’s all home grown Yeah, it’s better than a heaven that we ain’t a gonna get to know We do it cause we love it, we do it cause it’s in our soul It’s in our soul Mama told me so Oh, Fender amps Vibro champs It’s electric sunshine Oh, Marshall stacks Backward tracks It’s a super fun time

Adam called me yesterday just to show he cares Susan’s stopping by to help me rearrange my chairs All my friends take comfort in my lonely company My mother checks in twice a day before she’s had her tea Everybody’s happy when I’m around Cause everybody loves you when you’re down Some folks need a ruler just to measure their own nose Some folks need a metric to fee l happy in their clothes Friendly people come my and bask in their own glow Ask me if I’m feeling fine and if I’ve learned to cope Everybody’s happy when I’m around Cause everybody loves you when you’re down Everybody loves you when you’re down and oout you know When you’re picking up the pieces of your broken heart and soul Thery invite me to their parties just to make themselves feel good And everybody tells me I look better than I should All my friend take comfort in my lonely company My mother checks in twice a day before she’s had her tea Everybody’s happy when I’m around Cause everybody loves you when you’re down Everybody’s happy when I’m around Cause everybody loves you when you’re down

Go Nowhere 03:53
Spent some days down in Tucson, Arizona Making some time with a jukebox jackpot gal Rolled my way down to Southern California And slept in the arms of rambler and a ranger pal I’m looking for place that’s still With clear-eyed girls and daffodils I’m looking for a place where I can ease my mind Oh, I wanna go nowhere Into the wind, on the take, on a tear I just feel asleep Into a deep narcotic dream And it’s easy To believe in Yes there’s somewhere I can breathe in Stopped for drink outside of Macon, Georgia Met with some friends who only made me feel more alone Sat right there and drank down a Coca-cola It was sweet for a moment but now that moment is gone (Man I never get no rest?) I’m running like a man possessed With finding hope and happiness Somewhere ‘round the corner and down the line (Around the corner and further on down the line (With a notion of some happiness I just can’t find) Oh, I wanna go nowhere Into the sea, in the sun, in the air I just feel asleep Into a deep narcotic dream And it’s something That I’m hearing Oh I feel like Disappearing Maybe I’ve got it wrong Maybe I’ve got it right Baby how am I gonna sleep When my head is so uptight?

The morning made liar Of the clean and true words you said the night before You made yourself a fire And built an effigy of cigarettes and alcohol I know you’re bad / I know you Say you won’t be sorry someday Say you won’t be sad Say that I’m your kind of habit Sunday’s not so bad It’s gasoline you favor It burns clean enough to run the engine true girl Your mouth is sweet to savor It tastes dangerous when you let your tongue through I know you’re bad / I know you Say you won’t be sorry someday Say you won’t be sad Say that I’m your kind of habit Sunday’s not so bad You say you like my color I’m the blueset boy, bluer than you’ve ever seen Hold my breath forever Waiting for your go light, waiting for your go light Green, go green Say you won’t be sorry someday Say you won’t be sad Say that I’m your kind of habit Sunday’s not so bad

You said you wanted some rock and roll distance You said you wanted just to be left alone You said you met upon too much resistance But nobody really knows where you’ve been They tell me you’ve been gone with the wind Nobody really knows where you’ve been You’ve buried yourself down deep in the burrough A pretty girl whose come into her own Don’t you know I’m that gonna be thorough And search every club on the scene I’ll look inside each magazine Oooh, I need my peaches and cream New York City’s not alright with me It’s taken all my friends into the make believe Vampires on the bus Man, they’ll make you bleed You virgins are the fuss of the bourgeoisie It takes a man just to say that he’s sorry It takes a man just to let well alone I’ve seen your sky and I know that it’s starry Baby you’ve got gold in your shins Babe you’ve got original sins Held together with diamond pins I’ve been uptown and the city is maddening A million pieces that move on their own I swear to God that I don’t know what’s happening This place can’t be good for your soul This place is gonna take it’s own toll And baby it’s swallowed you whole New York City’s not alright with me It’s taken all my friends into the make believe Vampires on the bus Man, they’ll make you bleed You virgins are the fuss of the bourgeoisie

So slow I feel listless I got up to pile of dishes It’s been weeks since I’ve been feeling OK Sunset Feel the splendor I’m eating dinner from a candy dispenser I wake up to see I slept through the day Oooo summer Oooo bummer You know we need to take the medicine I say we are the innocents You know we need to take our medicine You know we are the ones Oh my It’s all so hazy The summer sun makes me feel so lazy With my porcelain face, I’m a vampire in the light The Beach Boys Sound ironic We’re gonna mix ourselves a gin and tonic And shutter up the windows just to lock in the night Lovers float in the salt of the sea People soak up the glorious heat All the kids sing in fine harmony But that’s not for me Oooo summer Oooo bummer You know we need to take the medicine I say we are the innocents You know we need to take our medicine You know we are the ones

I’m a gonna stay in my room I’m a gonna stay ‘til the the dawn I’m a gonna shoot for the moon Baby, let’s get real gone I was born to ride on the thunder And to drink up the rain But I was born in a world without wonder Where the sun is explained They keeping us comfortable They keeping us free of fear But baby we’ll take a trip ‘Cause we’re the Interstellar Pioneers Chemistry has made me a savior And it’s made you one too Father’s worried about my behavior What are you gonna do? I don’t wanna go to work I want a new frontier We can buy it by the pound ‘Cause we’re the Interstellar Pioneers Oh we’re gonna blaze through the sky Oh we’ll leave the world behind/Oh we’re gonna have some fun Mama likes the look in my eyes When they get that special shine/Mama this is how it’s done Son, you gotta work! I’m a gonna stay in my room Maybe we can play it by ear I’m a gonna shoot for the moon Baby, we’re the interstellar pioneers

Mother nature is tired of your silly games You know you’ve all been warned There’s nothing meaner than a mother wronged like that And a woman scorned She’s building her whole holy arsonel of wind and waves She’s building her bombs out of chamomile Maybe it’s time you got way down on your knees The sea will sweep your houses back to the sand The flowers are taking your children back to the land She’s coming for you and your womenfolk You’re all compost and ditch She’s cutting he losses starting now Cause payback is a bitch Don’t you know this time that it’s personal, you’ve cut it too deep She’s sneaking around the corner now With her jasmine shears she’s playing for keeps Oh she’ll be a lady when she slices your hand The flowers are taking your children back to the land The sea will sweep your houses back to the sand The flowers are taking your children back to the land

Nail Biter 04:30
Leave, leave what you know At the door with your bags and your overcoat Strip right down to your cell And bathe in the healing waters of our hell Clear, clear your brain Cause your alabaster skin is like cellophane Barely holding in your pleasure and your pain It will be hard but you’ll find you’l find yourself again What you need is a stabilizer Something to push in your head We all know you’re a real nail biter Your cuticles are raw and red Life, lay right on in We’ve prepared the warmest pool of the medicine It’s made of hope and gelatin Let’s all breathe out the doubt that lies within Feel, feel the light Now your technicolor dreams have all turned to white And you’ve learned to tell the wrong things from the right And you’ll rid yourself of the nasties in the night What you need is a stabilizer Something to push in your head We all know you’re a real nail biter Your cuticles are raw and red A head full of stars you got a galaxy in your mind – yeah You feel up and down and sometimes a waste of time – yeah We have just the pill that will keep your demons in line – yeah There’s a little dry mouth but soon you’ll be feeling fine my friend

It’s a hummer In the summer When the world begins Oh elation The vibrations Make you want to spin You are a winner You are a beginner You’re perfection A confection Sugar cane, it’s true You can capture All the rapture With your eyes of blue Pretty pictures On the fixtures Fill the living room Kiss your mother Kiss your brother Kiss your daddy too You are a winner You are a beginner You are a winner You are a beginner
