Soft-spun around
Does elocution make a sound?
Echoing lost & loud
Some move along
When 1st impressions prove them wrong
We travel near & gone
She's unknown
But leave it alone . . .
You know the last lines give it away
So far & felt
Go feign a fortune for yourself
Wound up on someone else you know
Uh-oh!
Soft-spun around
Does disillusion make a sound?
Echoing lost & loud
She's unknown
But leave it alone . . .
You know the last lines give it away

I went out with my baby one Saturday night;
Ev'rything was doin' alright
'Til I took a little baby
And shook it like never before
She said if I shake another baby
She won't be my baby no more
We got back to the house
About half past 10
That's where I did it again
I shook a little baby
Just like I did before
She said if I shake another baby
She won't be my baby no more
Well . . .
Shake-a-baby . . .
Don't shake a baby
Shake-a-baby . . .
Don't shake a baby
Shake-a-baby . . .
Don't shake a baby
Shake-a-baby . . .
Don't shake a baby
Shake-a-baby
I won't shake-a-baby no more!

Sunny days end
We all know this
Are we thankful for the time
That we've spent?
In the morning
I hope you notice
I'm still waiting for my chance
To get . . .

Belligerent Feet

===================================================
No time out in the street
On two belligerent feet she stands
But it's out of my hands
One to remember the veil
Three for emotional sale
I know I'm not willing to go home
But she thinks comin' along
Well, she thinks comin' along
She thinks comin' along is a good thing
She thinks comin' along
Well, she thinks comin' along
She thinks comin' along is good
And I told her I would
Hear out the devious plans
Made for a lecherous man
She's gone but I wanna be wrong
Face down over my head
Give me a bullet instead
I could but I know that she would now
Because she thinks comin' along
Well, she thinks comin' along
She thinks comin' along is a good thing
She thinks comin' along
Well, she thinks comin' along
She thinks comin' along is good
And I told her I would
Yes I told her I would
Well I told her I would now now
No time out in the street
On two belligerent feet
She stands . . .

Microscopic Me
02:50
|

===================================================
Microscopic me
Upstage infinity
Robotic slingshot eyes
Attempts to demonstrate
Convalescent dreams
Nightmare in Amsterdam
Electric rubber band
Inside it's raining out
I entertain the notion
If I wade into the Ocean
I may drown
The heart is beating ever-faster
And the echo of it's laughter's
Ringing loud . . .
Poor ol' microscopic me
Microscopic me
So long soliloquy
Necrotic key lime pie
Train wrecks that punctuate
Pearly whites agleam
Shoeshine in Amsterdam
This suicidal man;
Shoot him before he jumps
I entertain the notion
If I wade into the Ocean
I may drown
The heart is beating ever-faster
And the echo of it's laughter's
Screaming loud . . .
Poor ol' microscopic me

===================================================
My broken leg
Seems to feel all right
And I don't scream
In the middle of the night
I haven't danced too much
Since the fall
No, I don't dance too much
Now at all . . .
My doctor said . . .
But I feels it's time
To break it down once more
Too many times
I've felt like this before
No longer do my crutches
Hold me down
I'm free to fall
Into fantastic sound . . .
It sounds like this . . .
It's too late
You've seen my face;
Alien to commonplace
It's too late
You've seen my face;
Alien

I know a man
Who is lookin' for a man
He's searchin' for a man
Quite like me
I am a man
Who can mystify the man
Who may undermine a man
Unlike he
Your little footsteps
Know how to tip-toe outta sight . . .
Your little footsteps
Know how to tip-toe . . .
When I look into your eyes
If & when I realign
When I look into those eyes, yes
I pray these thoughts . . .
Pray these thoughts . . .
I pray these thoughts aren't mine
Don't turn away I
Fear I must say
I've kissed those lips before
While you were sleepin'
Some years ago . . .
I've kissed those lips before
Your little footsteps
Know how to tip-toe outta sight . . .
Your little footsteps
Know how to tip-toe . . .

Presto Strange~O

===================================================
I saw her on the showroom floor
She struck a pose & I wanted more
I said I loved her summer line
Then she undressed me with her eyes
The way she won me over
Was like a bangle to the brain
I wanna push her over . . .
Is that strange?
When they lock the doors at night
I wonder if she comes alive
She's metal rods & plastic parts
But I know what's in her heart
Blow-out sale event!
I said, "I bet!"
Why's this mannequin
The one I can't catch?
The way she won me over
Was like a bangle to the brain
I wanna push her over
And see if she can say my name
Oh, I'll make sure to show her
'Cause I know she would do the same
She'll come before it's over . . .
Is that strange?

Chooch (Bye, Bye Birds)
08:25
|
|||
===================================================
Well, I lost my wooden nickel
On the porch swing where I laid
I found a girl to tickle
But she had a wooden leg
She said, "I can give you money,
If'n you take out the trash!"
Well, I had to give her credit
'Cause she didn't pay with cash
Bye, bye birds
Get back home
It's a long way down
So you'll know
There's a song in my head
And a bum in your bed
I don't know where I'm bound
But I still got to go
If you see me when I'm drunk
Pick me up down the road
Well, I found her at a wedding
Where we bargained with the lord
He called us up to heaven
But we wound up on the floor
Paul Woodhouse played a stand-up
That he stole from Woody Pines
He said, "That boy's just a chooch,
I wouldn't trust him in a bind!"
So bye, bye birds
Get back home
It's a long way down
Just so you know
There's a song in your head
And a bum in my bed
I don't know where I'm bound
But I still gots to go
If you're drunk when you see me
Pick me up down the road
(But don't get another DUI)
