Last night
I took a walk into the back of my mind
through the trash and the warning signs
there was a party full of jokes and clich`s
I couldn`t think of anything to say
and so I slipped into the men`s room there
I saw my hair a way it`s never been before
I took the stairs from my head to my heart

Jet set ski shop quasi silver porche jacket
Bleached blonde forty-dollar foster grant
Capped teeth two-inch eyelash
Pseudo gamma delta doll
Adidas in heat

Beer slob Saturday addict pops another top
"kill that sonovabitch," he screams at the t.v.

I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray
But i didn't know it'd never go away
Until i answered when my telephone rang
Bad days coming my way
'cause i heard my baby saying
She's gonna be leaving me
Bad days must be on my tracks
'cause i heard my baby saying

She arrives like a limo
Smooth and moving
On the prowl through the crowd
To the beat of the city
She glows in the dark
Wherever she parks
Concrete crumbles and the night rumbles

I'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat
Dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tailpiece
I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef

There's a mando-Linda Evans talking on the
Phone call a Porter Wagoner tailor-made underwear
Every dog has his Dayton Ohio Hitler
Says to button your fly Tijuana place a Bette Midler

Hello honey, how is every little thing?
Sure I'll be glad to meet you at the beach at ten
I wanna be your brown-eyed handsome man
Plant my feet in the sand
Maybe you could be the Sunkist queen
In your cool Raybans
Ooohweee, you and me babe
Here comes another summer of love

Long ago and far away in a different age
When I was a dumb young guy
Fossilized photos of my life then
Illustrate what an easy prey I must have been

Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument

One big mistake some people make is when they take for granted
Love will always stay the same
Because eventually love needs attention or it has a tendency
To fade away
That is why I'll always give you
Every little thing you may have only dreamed of
All I wanna give you
Every little thing

Yes, he was a fish head
His frontal lobe a retread
He rode a little motor scooter
They said he was a neuter
Tried to be a masher
He was a failure as a flasher
What made it most regrettable
He thought he was incredible

People like us have our eyes on the stars
And we keep informed via TV Guide
And we entertain in a house of cards
But the trouble remains
In our sleeping hearts

Wake up! Get out,
Get out of this house of cards

it was raining cats and dogs
between a rock and a hard place
so I drove him up the wall
and down to the wire
at the drop of a hat,
an arm and a leg
he lost his head
for a piece of cake

They had a courtyard pool at the Hotel Delight
I decided to sun myself
there was no-one in sight
just a small patch of sunlight left out there
that's where I placed my chair

Then a woman came out
and she placed her chair right smack in front of me

Wouldn't it be great
To see the african plains
Before they lay them to waste
And only the bones remain
Wouldn't it be poetry
To shoot holes in the poachers we see
With an elephant gun

I don't wanna live
Anywhere
I wanna live, I wanna live everywhere
In a rolling big house
Full of fresh air
A motor bungalow,
Round and comfortable
Like a highway yacht with a shower,

Hold me down
I'm a wounded man
Give me all your love
Give me everything
Breathe me in
Like a piece of sky
On a bed of flowers
On the longest night,

Every now and then
You find someone you really like,
But sometimes in the end
They may not fit you right

My baby's in love with a shoe salesman
The man who works down the block
Yes, she's in love for the first time, again

She’s demure...friendly...loving and good-looking
Good-looking and wealthy
She is tall, pretty, thin, blonde
A loving person, great personality, fun to be with
Independent, gorgeous, rich, powerful
Liberal yet she’s very romantic
Of course, she’d have to have the perfect figure

I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world

I stand alone in my concrete cell
Where people stare and toss me coke cans
I guess it's better than being poached
But I'd give my horn just to see my homeland

Late last night
I was speaking with my wife
When she turned into a momur
Tried to put me uptight
I said "you don't scare me"
Then she let out a scream
That's when my heart started jumpin'
Like a broken t.v.

I recall as a boy we would hop the freights
Wasn't nothin' but a kick back then
There was no better thrill for my anxious heart
Than a long flatcar

Headin' out of the yard
And I knew even then she was in my blood
Like the time when I first hired on

Time wasted, wasted worrying
Hurrying down the same street
Time beats with every moment
Eroding from under my feet

Time waits, it waits for no one
And here I sit, I'm standing still
Time waits

Hot tribal night
Underneath fluorescent skies
Bonfires rage strange
Wild, waving, shouting Picasso faces

In the guise of a lioness
The wind kisses her burning dress
You can feel her animal eyes
