Lyrics

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don’t put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day’s events.
The river

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren’t permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

Lyrics

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.

Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.

Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.

All the world’s indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage.

Lyrics

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime…

Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge…

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I’ve got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

Lyrics

Who left you hanging on that peg all alone?
You look near mint to me babe and I wanna make you my own
I wanna be your captain, my Pon Farr is a-risin’
So step on over here girl, my love is enterprisin’

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me show you some conventional love
I don’t mean to boast, I don’t mean to brag (ooh love long and prosper)
But I’m a man whose only issues all come in mylar bags

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me give you my conventional love
I’ll give you my heart, I’ll treat you nice (ooh love long and prosper)
And the games that I play only have twenty-sided dice

They’re polyhedral!

Let’s hit the dealer’s room and get you something fine
That collectors bust of Cthulhu reminds me of how you blow my mind
Now let me take you dancing in my best Starfleet dress uniform
You’ll want to tap my mana once you’ve seen me perform

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me show you some conventional love
I don’t mean to boast, I don’t mean to brag (ooh love long and prosper)
But I’m a man whose only issues all come in mylar bags

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me give you my conventional love
I’ll give you my heart, I’ll treat you nice (ooh love long and prosper)
And the games that I play only have twenty-sided dice

Uh oh
Saving throw!

And when we get to mating, I’ll always treat you kind
I’ll never bend you too far back or ever crease your spine
But there’s one thing I won’t promise, there’s one thing I won’t do
Can’t leave you in the box babe, this collector is coming through

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me show you some conventional love
I don’t mean to boast, I don’t mean to brag (ooh love long and prosper)
But I’m a man whose only issues all come in mylar bags

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me give you my conventional love
I’ll give you my heart, I’ll treat you nice (ooh love long and prosper)
And the games that I play only have twenty-sided dice

Let me be your conventional lover
Let me give you my conventional love
I’ll give you my heart, I’ll treat you fine
And I’ll make sweet love to you while we’re watching Deep Space Nine

Lyrics

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire

Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oooh
Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oh oh oh
Ai yai yai oh

You start a conversation you can’t even finish
You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oooh
Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oh oh oh
Ai yai yai yai

Ce que j’ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire, ok
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite

Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Oooh
Psycho killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Lyrics

Hey, don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out
And looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves
When you’re away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Hey, you know they’re all the same
You know you’re doing better on your own
So don’t buy in
Live right now and
Just be yourself
It doesn’t matter if it’s good enough
For someone else

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Hey, don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out
And looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
And don’t you worry what their bitter hearts
Are gonna say

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright

Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who’s the only one?
Hey little sister, who’s your Superman?
Hey little sister, who’s the one you want?
Hey little sister, shotgun!

It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again

Hey little sister, who is it you’re with? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey little sister, what’s your vice or wish? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey little sister, shotgun, oh yeah
Hey little sister, who’s your Superman?
Hey little sister, shotgun!

It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again, ow!

“Pick it up!
Take me back home, yeah!”

Hey little sister, what have you done? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey little sister, who’s the only one? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I’ve been away for so long (So long)
I’ve been away for so long (So long)
I let you go for so long

It’s a nice day to start again
C’mon, it’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again, ow!

There is nothing fair in this world, baby
There is nothing safe in this world
And there’s nothing sure in this world
And there’s nothing pure in this world
Look for something left in this world

Start again
C’mon, it’s a nice day for a white wedding, wow!
It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day to start again

I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down

See who’s hangin’ ’round

One way, or another, I’m gonna lose ya
I’m gonna give you the slip
A slip of the hip for another
I’m gonna lose ya, I’m gonna trick ya

One way, or another, I’m gonna lose ya
I’m gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way, or another, I’m gonna lose ya

I walked down the hall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
See specials on rack
Then get lost in the crowd

One way, or another, I’m gonna get ya
I’ll get ya, I’ll get ya get ya get ya get ya
One way, or another, I’m gonna get ya
I’ll get ya, I’ll get ya get ya get ya get ya

Lyrics

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first beatle song
Love me do i think it was. From there it didnt take him long
Got himself a guitar used to play it every night
Now he’s in a rockn roll outfit and every things all right
Dont ya know

Johnny told his mama mama i’m goin away
I’m gonna hit the big time gonna be a big star some today
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eyes
Johnny said dont cry mama smile and wave goodbye
Dont ya know

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are

Johnny made a record went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by, surprised it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around and said well i made the big time at last

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer’s day
If you listen to the wind you cand hear him play
Don’t you know, don’t you know

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are

Don’t come hangin’ around my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Now woman, I said stay away,
American woman, listen what I say.

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don’t come knockin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your shadow no more
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say.

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be.

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away

Gonna look you right in the eye.
Tell you what I’m gonna do
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go, woman
I’m gonna leave, woman
Goodbye, American woman
Goodbye, American chick
Goodbye, American broad …
