*** Tape Song

You've got to [x4]

Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick
Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick to you

Six kinds of glue
Won't hold you [x4]
Oh my oh, oh my
You've got to

You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to go straight ahead

Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit.
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you
I said time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you

You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to to go straight ahead

Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit.
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you
I said, six kinds of blue
Won't hold you, won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my you've got to
You've got to, you've got to

You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to go straight ahead

*** Black Balloon

Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashin' in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time

Farewell my black balloon [x2]

I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you it's not comin' true?

Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you
Farewell my black balloon

*** Last Day of Magic [Dostoyevski's Crime and Punishment]

Went to parties
Two parties ending

What if you move?
What if you hide?
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide

A little tornado
A little hurricane roar
Last day of magic
Where are you?
A little tornado
A little hurricane roar

Went to parties
Two parties ending

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the dust of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Where are you?
A little tornado
A little hurricane roar
Last day of magic
Coming through
The eye of the storm
And I hold on to
A little tornado
A little hurricane roar

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the dust of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Put the whole ride through
The eye of the storm
In a single room
A little tornado
A little hurricane roar
Cavalry come,
Cavalry go,
Cavalry leave me alone
A little serenade, oh
My little cup of cane roar
Last day of magic
Where are you?
A little tornado
A little hurricane roar

*** No Wow

You're gonna have to step over my dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more

And all the people you see coming by to save you
You're make-believing-on in your mind
Your eyes are holy rollin', looking, beating, knocking
The ceiling gets closer to you all the time

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more [x3]

You're gonna have to step over my dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more [x3]

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like [x2]
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like [x2]
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like [x2]
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like [x2]
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore [x2]

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down [x2]

There ain't no wow now ...

*** I Call It Art

I wonder, wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art

A no good, a no one, a no show
A too much, perfection, to say no
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art

In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art

I wonder, I wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art

*** Cheap and Cheerful

I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy 'coz you're borin' baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat
'Coz love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got the same needs as a dog
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)

*** Night Train

Sleep tight on the night train, no pain
I don't remember
Won't a couple of years do some good for you?
No your eyes got bigger.

All my lovers take the train
All my lovers, all my lovers.
