ashes and nicotine fell to the floor
where nothing but emptiness rested before
expecting no fashion, expressing no passion
I made a beeline for the door
oh, when the ashtray fell astray
really in fact I need no cigarettes
but Alistair Crowley's wife sends her regrets
the aliens landed, a truce was demanded
abducting my family as pets
oh, when the ashtray fell astray
why should I mimic society's pace
another unfortunate caught in the race
modern time frantic destroys the romantic
and I see the stress in your face
oh, when the ashtray fell astray

I wish that I could be with you
but the sky is green and the grass is blue
a yellowed moon conceals the sun
you cannot stop what has begun
I wouldn't doubt if you're to blame
but nothing seems to be the same
Aurora Borealis glows
for obscure reasons no one knows
a light descends upon the scene
depicted in a magazine
flowers bloom within my mind
romantic motives lurk behind

Stab the needle into your arm
Feel the poison in your veins
Your head is spinning
Your mind is reeling
You do much more
You're gonna go insane
Drugs all night and drugs all day
You got your heroin and cocaine
You don't have sex or see your friends
All you do is destroy your brain
Now the drug takes control of you
You do just what it tells you to
The drug controls you every day
You do much more
You're gonna pay
In your head you hear a voice
In your mind you hear a call
Someone talking or someone saying
You want to die
But you ain't got the balls
You couldn't get your fix today
But you would've done it anyway
You slide the noose around your head
Next thing you know you are dead

Woke up on that misty morning
Wondering what I'd have to face
A savior lent a word of praise
And I fled to my inner space
Masses of humanity
Were gathered in the village square
Smiling faces stared at me
Patient urgings filled the air
My audience was veiled in black
The tension was unbearable
I hastily recited prose
And muttered ancient parables
But in moments of reflection
This great congregation wept
For the world was governed by
The foolish, ruthless, and inept
Indecision rules the land
What is right and what is wrong
Many faiths can contradict
And our devout can't get along
But complaints alone do nothing
To improve our bitter lives
We shall make our voice be heard
Should everybody toil and strive
Pleading with our mighty lords
And praying to our pagan gods
Rob the rich and feed the poor
For it shall serve the common cause
But our pain however was ignored
We soon went separate ways
In our absence nothing more was said
About the world's decay

I want to be in a b-movie
And I want to see the b-movie
Mad murder movies is what I like
Cheap science fiction is what I like
Mad monster movies is what I like
'cos I want to be in a b-movie
And I want to see the b-movie
I was mowin' the lawn
Just about ten
When a strange idea
Popped into my head
The next thing I knew
My neighbor was dead
'cos I want to be in a b-movie
And I want to see the b-movie
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Wants to destroy the human race
Day of the Triffids
And Godzilla too
Mars Needs Woman
What are we to do?
'cos I want to be in a b-movie
And I want to see the b-movie

I guess that I’ll address this note “to whom it may concern”
The ones who cry and wonder why but never really learn
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light
Was it money, was it drugs, was I a closet queer
How’d I come to hate the man that’s in my bathroom mirror
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light
Maybe there’s an answer in the works of Sigmund Freud
Maybe I’m a mama’s boy who turned out paranoid
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light
Maybe it’s a sane reaction to a world of fear
Learning how to hate the man that’s in your bathroom mirror
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light
I guess that I’ll address this note “to whom it may confuse”
The solid, sober citizens who’ve never known the blues
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light
Their questions all have answers
and their path is always clear
They taught me how to hate the man
that’s in my bathroom mirror
Life is cold and life is hard and I can see no light

Her overbite excites me
Her lisp turns me on
One look from her crossed eyes
And I'm gone
Nothing drives me crazy
Like the gap between her teeth
She rubs her mole across my ear
And I'm thrilled beyond belief
'Cos I've found that a woman
Don't have to be a babe with a tan
Ugly women work harder
At pleasing their man
She might not have a figure
But I don't have to beg
I know she'll always stand beside me
On her good leg (just one!)
She's got the kind of voice
That turns crystal into dust
But she loves it when I call her
My Picasso of lust
Now I've seen the kind of woman
Who can't even pass a mirror
Stay at home, girls
You ain't welcome here
A lot of people laugh
'Cos my woman's got feet (hahaha!)
But when it comes to making love
No bathing beauty could compete

out of the womb, on the way to a tomb
life goes by so fast
my brain is bled, time's the thing that I dread
I am the outcast, I am the outcast
won't you please open your eyes, look to the skies
I'm telling you lies
ashes and nicotine fell to the floor
where nothing but emptiness rested before
expecting no fashion, expressing no passion
I made a beeline for the door
oh, when the ashtray fell astray
really in fact I need no cigarettes
but Alistair Crowley's wife sends her regrets

abducting my family as pets
oh, when the ashtray fell astray
why should I mimic society's pace
another unfortunate caught in the race
modern time frantic destroys the romantic
and I see the stress in your face
oh, when the ashtray fell astray
lost in the crowd and fading away
failing ignition, my mind fell astray
my consciousness tattered, my ashes were scattered
I took my place by the ashtray
oh, when the ashtray fell astray

Thanks to Your Evil Ways
02:44

Going crazy, growing old
'Cos my love life is turning cold
Was affection really fake
Am I just too much man to take
Now I believe that a heart can be broken
Thanks to your evil ways
But in spite of the way that you hurt me
I'm gonna beg you to stay
Nothing pains me like your laugh
My emotions get split in half
Slept with friends I respect
Now my sanity is surely wrecked
And when you got me lost, I worried
You never brought me back
And when we brought out hearts together
I thought you enjoyed the attack
Will the things that I say
Ever make your confusion sway
'Cos I hang from this limb
And it's sad to see you loving him

Gone Away (1988 version)
04:03
|

|
Early Monday morning
As to light the darkness gave way
My arm hit your pillow
You were gone, gone, gone, gone away
Found your final letter
You had nothing left to say
And reality hit me
You were gone, gone, gone, gone away
So I took a shower
Tried to face that loneliest day
But life had no meaning
You were gone, gone, gone, gone away
Left the office early
I was too disturbed to stay
Played guitar and sang
'Bout lovers gone, gone, gone, gone away
Why were you dishonest
Name the faults that made you up and stray
Why am I still hurting
While you're gone, gone, gone, gone away
Will I find another that I love
With luck I just may
And perhaps one morning
She'll be gone, gone, gone, gone away

Life's No Carnival

It means no cheesecake, cotton candy, apple pie
As I awake the American dream lays down and dies
Lays down and dies
The Wall Street wasteland houses shells of broken life
My children shot the dog and now they eye my wife
They eye my wife
I saw a man with a controversial dream
Some rallied to his side, the others had their schemes
They had their schemes
I saw a man who challenged wrong, a man who fought
I saw a man betrayed, I saw a man get shot
A man was shot
And now I'm certain that the world is going blind
My possibility I can hide what's in my mind
What's in my mind
Life is no carnival, no circus of three rings
It's just a freak show playing to amuse the kings
Amuse the kings

I drove you back home and we fell into bed
satisfying my body but disturbing my head
now you're enigma and we're never in touch
heard you don't want me, could've figured as much
my swift fall from grace and your poker face
tell me Autumn's gonna chill me to the bone
we all have an ego, says we cannot be used
so was it your pleasure, must I be so confused
a bit deeper substance lurks behind this facade
so tell me the truth, at least give me a nod
my swift fall from grace and your poker face
tell me Autumn's gonna chill me to the bone
leaves are falling from the trees
they leave nothing but my hope
grey horizons, just like my soul
Autumn makes it hard to cope
so was your decision the one I heard voiced
did a friend with opinions ever leave you a choice
your friend needs a lesson in social affairs
he's cost you another, does he even care
my swift fall from grace and your poker face
tell me Autumn's gonna chill me to the bone
the well-wishers tell me I should just move on
love's unrequited and my chance is gone
but I'll remember the friction and subsequent flow
I'll hear your name when the Autumn winds blow
my swift fall from grace and your poker face
tell me Autumn's gonna chill me to the bone

Expatriate
03:45
|

|
Lying alone, no place is home
Inside, I turn off my light
My brain is gone, there is no dawn
As I sleep this long winter night
Gone are the wine, women and song
And I shall follow before too long
As it seems I've become an expatriate
Here I stand with the walls closing in
Deep in thought about the places I've been
Yet I can't see the back of my hand
Once a newt, just a cog in the wheel
Made a plan, brought the world to my heels
But they can't shoot me down in this land
Leaving myself a brain on the shelf
And a blue tint in my eyes
Finally I see the beauty of a tree
Finally I don't hear the lies
Down and out before my time
Scraping my clothes for my last dime
As it seems I've become an expatriate
Morbid jokes about a veteran of war
Warning me not be such a bore,
Waxing poetic about my town
On the run like a fugitive man
On the run no one gives you a hand
When your only expression's a frown

Your mind will say it's monotone, that mesmerizing beat
But hidden in synthetic drones, you might hear marching feet
As they take you to a temple and they hand you plastic dolls
Your fate is all too certain as the man in velvet calls
So you try procrastination, but the man in velvet screams:
All you need is love
So burdened with these orders, you might seek another thrill
And your confidence is rising as you move in for the kill
But the target's unfamiliar and it moves its weight too well
While you're struggling for your bearings and your aim's gone all to hell
Smiling faces may look pretty, but they just aren't worth your time
Just aren't worth your time

Mystery Girl

Good evening, are you alone
Well all I have is my telephone
And now that my greeting’s through
Exactly who the hell are you, mystery girl
She lives in paradise
With the hermits and the trees, so nice
But the city might do some good
I’d take her if I only could, mystery girl
Out of touch and out of reach
Restrained enigma
Who will contradict herself at times
To retain an aura
But when she talks to me
At times I can clearly see
Her veils conceal a game
That I play without a thread of shame

Dirty Little...
05:39

I stood at the mirror and admired my brown eyes
'Til I realized they should be green
Then I knew for a fact I was deeply submerged
though I saw no great change in the scene
And it's none of your concern
I pay my respects in irreverent ways
So if you can laugh, you're a friend
Nothing is sacred for we who see clearly
For life is a means to no end
And it's none of your concern
Some satisfy my body, some satisfy my soul
Some satisfy my image, some satisfy my goals
Some cannot see in the darkness
Some have the libidos tied up
Some spread untrue information
And some are just downright corrupt
Suddenly thrust upon a stage
My company's in demand
And suddenly everyone wants to give
The performing arts a hand
But it's none of your concern
I thought we were lousy, you never agree
But were all of your kudos sincere
For warm consolation, you offered your body
And took away any odd fears
But it's none of your concern
You were attracted by the glitter
You were held spellbound by the heat
You made a minor brush with stardom
You were in awe of such a feat
But your pride's unnecessary
'Cos I would jump at any chance
Would you guess I'm so pathetic
When I hold you in a trance
I make more remarks for material gain
And to hope to make up for lost time
Sometimes my scruples are put in a jar
And sometimes my love is a crime
But it's none of your concern
I wish I could stand at the mirror once more
But those green eyes make me feel small
I've mastered the ways of a stranger land
The mundane's most frightening of all
But it's none of your concern
Some satisfy my body, some satisfy my soul
Some satisfy my image, some satisfy my goals
Some cannot see in the darkness
Some have the libidos tied up
Some spread untrue information
And some are just downright corrupt
And I'm wondering why I will often feel shy
Though I'm brash and flamboyant and ready to die
And I'm versed in the arts, juggling too many hearts
How insatiably stupid to think that I'm smart
Dirty little girl, you make me sweat without regret
Dirty little girl, you help conceal what might be real
Dirty little girl, your worst requests are others' best
Dirty little girl, your push and shove ain't really love
Don't make me laugh while I take a drag
Dirty little girl

One More Chance

I could've sworn that this was love
I thought that when push came to shover
Your daily dose of indecision
Wasn't so much heart as head
I placed my life within your hands
Saved up the spine for steep demands
I set myself up to look like
The biggest jerk who ever said...
Give me one more chance
And I will make it up to you, et cetera
Give me one more chance
To prove that my old ways are through, et cetera
No matter what I say, I don't expect you'll stay
It didn't work on the last girl either
I could've sworn you were the one
I thought when all was said and done
A lapse in judgment was forgivable
A subject good as dead
I never thought about the cost
Or all the common ground we'd lost
I set myself up to look like
The biggest creep who ever said...
I could've sworn this thing would last
I thought the past was in the past
But everything I bury turns around
And buries me instead
I traded in your sacred trust
For bleary-eyed weekends of lust
I set myself up to look like
The biggest fiend who ever said...

Thanks But No Thanks
03:28

Her passions were impossible
And ill equipped to last
Her weapons were so subtle
That I never felt the blast
Her morals were rejected
They afford no convenience
To a woman who's impaled
Upon the past
And I say thanks but no thanks
I'd rather keep my wits about me
Thanks but no thanks
You were not the first to doubt me
Claiming you could love without me
Now you've got a splendid opportunity
Her talents were considerable
But she preferred to tease
Her greatest pleasure came
From bringing people to their knees
Her ethics were elastic
As befits the sort of hypocrite
Who revises their espoused beliefs
With ease
And when I'm philosophical
I say she's not to blame
All her family ever gave her was her name
But knowing her misfortune
Doesn't change the way I feel
She ought to dry her eyes and take the wheel
Kick those horses into life
And see her hometown
Through the rear view mirror

I cannot believe I said goodbye to you yesterday
I cannot believe that you have gone, gone, gone away
But if your plans should ever fail
I'll be the winds that fill your sail
I'll be the one that you can share a good laugh with
But if your dreams should ever die
I'll be the twinkle in your eye
I'll be the one that you can share a good cry with
May fortune smile upon you
Wherever you are
May you surrender to
A love that leaves no scar
May all your wishes be
Upon a falling star
And may your road go ever on
But if your heart should ever bleed
I'll be responsive to your need
I'll be the one that you can share a good life with

Jackie's got it figured out
She's gonna find a privileged man
Who doesn't mind providing her
With more than she deserves
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he didn't make a lot of bread
I heard that he's a singer
In a part-time basement band
And Jackie says, "why are all the good ones married,
Why are all the good ones gay?"
Jackie, they got wise to you,
Go, go, go away
Jackie's got it figured out
And if she gains a dozen pounds
She'll have an explanation
For her current lack of dates
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he simply wasn't cute enough
I heard that he was last seen
In the arms of her best friend
Jackie's got it figured out
She'll throw herself at any man
And if he doesn't back away
She'll sigh and call it love
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he couldn't stand another day
I heard that he's a singer
With an album on the charts

And we'd like you to try it
If the cops try to bust us
There's gonna be a riot
'Cos the gang's all here
Ace is in town
And before she's departed
Rusty's gonna show up
To get the party started
Sherri and Pew
Are flirting with each other
And Brian left the room
To have some fun beneath the covers
'Cos the gang's all here
I just got paid
And I'm in the mood
For a celebration
C.C. brought the booze
Trish has a snooze
And Adrienne looks like
She needs a vacation
Bradford had to work
He's gonna be here later
Heidi's tending bar
While I play bass guitar
And they're playing naked Twister
On the elevator
'Cos the gang's all here

When I was afflicted, I looked to the sky
I did as instructed without asking why
But being no stranger to absolute danger
I made my escape on the sly
In a land of dust and decay
When I was within a stone's throw of the fire
I pissed on the ruins of the ebony spire
My course was erratic, my ears filled with static
My nerves were a high voltage wire
In a land of dust and decay
When I was afflicted, I did what was best
The chaos of life was an adequate test
My heart, beating faster with every disaster,
Demanded a well-deserved rest
In a land of dust and decay

You say you want to know me biblically
You say you don't wear makeup 'cos of allergies
You're such an infant
You are so wild
And I would walk away, yeah, I could walk away
If you weren't such a poster child
Promises mean nothing when the lights go out
And I can't go on like this with so much doubt
I'm not your hero
That ain't my style
And I won't take the rap for a heart full of crap
In the mind of a poster child
Poster child
You just keep on wasting your time
Poster child
Thinkin' that you're gonna be mine
I won't be the victim of your passion play
And if I don't escape from her I might just stay
It's just my conscience
That's running wild
And I would walk away, yeah, I could walk away
If you weren't such a poster child
Poster child
You just keep on wasting your time
Poster child
Thinkin' that you're gonna be mine

While plastic was booming
The old world was burning
And some golden ages
Are slow in returning
But don't get your hopes up
Only to be twisted
We're not unaccustomed
To being blacklisted
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)
When subtlety died
You were lost in the screaming
Aspiring to nothing but
Yesterday's dreaming
That's not to say that
You lack any merit
You play by the rules
And that's fine for a parrot
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)
Still we stick around
So many wrongs must be righted
We have never been
Trendy, hip, or in
We wouldn't join you
Even if we were invited
Still we stick around
Surrender would ring so hollow
No one else around
Plays this crazy sound
We lead ourselves because
We weren't born to follow
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)

I set myself up to look like
The biggest fiend who ever said...

Her passions were impossible
And ill equipped to last
Her weapons were so subtle
That I never felt the blast
Her morals were rejected
They afford no convenience
To a woman who's impaled
Upon the past
And I say thanks but no thanks
I'd rather keep my wits about me
Thanks but no thanks
You were not the first to doubt me
Claiming you could love without me
Now you've got a splendid opportunity
Her talents were considerable
But she preferred to tease
Her greatest pleasure came
From bringing people to their knees
Her ethics were elastic
As befits the sort of hypocrite
Who revises their espoused beliefs
With ease
And when I'm philosophical
I say she's not to blame
All her family ever gave her was her name
But knowing her misfortune
Doesn't change the way I feel
She ought to dry her eyes and take the wheel
Kick those horses into life
And see her hometown
Through the rear view mirror

I cannot believe I said goodbye to you yesterday
I cannot believe that you have gone, gone, gone away
But if your plans should ever fail
I'll be the winds that fill your sail
I'll be the one that you can share a good laugh with
But if your dreams should ever die
I'll be the twinkle in your eye
I'll be the one that you can share a good cry with
May fortune smile upon you
Wherever you are
May you surrender to
A love that leaves no scar
May all your wishes be
Upon a falling star
And may your road go ever on
But if your heart should ever bleed
I'll be responsive to your need
I'll be the one that you can share a good life with

Jackie's got it figured out
She's gonna find a privileged man
Who doesn't mind providing her
With more than she deserves
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he didn't make a lot of bread
I heard that he's a singer
In a part-time basement band
And Jackie says, "why are all the good ones married,
Why are all the good ones gay?"
Jackie, they got wise to you,
Go, go, go away
Jackie's got it figured out
And if she gains a dozen pounds
She'll have an explanation
For her current lack of dates
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he simply wasn't cute enough
I heard that he was last seen
In the arms of her best friend
Jackie's got it figured out
She'll throw herself at any man
And if he doesn't back away
She'll sigh and call it love
Jackie had a boyfriend
But he couldn't stand another day
I heard that he's a singer
With an album on the charts

Gonna have us a bash
Everybody's got an invite
The weekend is here
And we're gonna party all night
We've got a new drink
And we'd like you to try it
If the cops try to bust us
There's gonna be a riot
'Cos the gang's all here
Ace is in town
And before she's departed
Rusty's gonna show up
To get the party started
Sherri and Pew
Are flirting with each other
And Brian left the room
To have some fun beneath the covers
'Cos the gang's all here
I just got paid
And I'm in the mood
For a celebration
C.C. brought the booze
Trish has a snooze
And Adrienne looks like
She needs a vacation
Bradford had to work
He's gonna be here later
Heidi's tending bar
While I play bass guitar
And they're playing naked Twister
On the elevator
'Cos the gang's all here
