Flip Your Wig
Welcome to this world that we live in
Normal people going for a spin
And we don't realize
That it changes all our lives
Every day somebody's asking questions
Someone wants to know if I know
All the answers, or am I just guessing?
Guess we'll never really know
Sunday section gave us a mention
Grandma's freaking out over the attention
Now my friends abound
They're coming back around
Long distance on the other end
Says I need them for a friend
No matter what I choose
I'm the one they want to use
Every Everything
I've got something she wants
She's got something I need
Got a lock on my heart
And she's got the keys
Softly spoken words of love
These are what she says to me
Honey be a man get off your knees
Every heartbeat
Every movement
Every moment
Every sigh
Every everything
Something in my heart
Something in my arms
Fell in love with your
Possessive charms
Softly spoken words of love
This is what she says to me
Got a lock on my heart
And she's got the keys
Makes No Sense At All
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all
Sell yourself short, but you're walking so tall
Makes no sense at all
Is it important? You're yelling so loud
Makes no sense at all
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all
Makes no difference at all
I don't know why you want to tell me
When I'm right or when you're wrong
It's the same thing, in your mind, the only time
I'm right is when I play along
You concern yourself with evidence
It's evident to me
Well you say you've got the tiger by the tail
But I don't see these things that way
Hate Paper Doll
Hate paper doll
You never get cut, but you're looking at me
Hate paper doll
You never get back, but you never can see
Taking it all, cut from a sack that you got on TV
Paid for it all, taking it back 'cause I wanted it free
Wanted it free now, you just want it to be just like me
Green Eyes
It's a great big world
There's a million other guys
I feel so lucky when I look
In those green eyes
Is it the sun
That makes them so green
Those are the prettiest eyes
I have ever seen
Green eyes...
What makes them sparkle
What makes them shine
What makes those eyes of yours
Look into mine
Divide And Conquer
Well they divided up all the land
And we've got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisions
There's countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitude, longing to find out
Just what they're missing
They're lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodes
We'll invent some new computers
Link up the global village
And get AP, UPI, and Reuters
To tell everybody the news
We'll be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
But who's going to stop that burglar
From breaking in my house
If he lives that far away
We'll be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is to busy
And the neighborhood's getting out of hand
It's not about my politics
Something happened way too quick
A bunch of men who played it sick
They divide, conquer
It's all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer
Well I expect I won't be heard
Because my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer
They divide and conquer
Games
I could stay here the rest of my life
I could be happy, never be lonely
I don't need to go looking for misery
I could surround myself with my props
Playing my part, getting caught up
In a game, some game, that anyone can play
I could be proud of things I have done
Pretend I don't have to try to be someone
I could say that I've done it all before
I could get wiser, I could get jaded
I could remember, I could just fade away
In a game that anyone can play
I am so proud, I don't have to try
Never a need to justify it when
People say "Hey I was important too"
Memories go to reinforce
The things I have done, for better or worse
It's a game that anyone can play
Just when you think that all your answers are so right
You'll fade away and disappear from sight
The ones who said you're great will find another way
I could be sad, I could be lonely
I could still have some friends if I only
Didn't play the games I had to play
I was important when I was cool
Now it gets lonely playing the fool
It's a game that anyone can play
Find Me
Find me a country
Far from my home
Sent me on an airline
And they told me where I'm going
Well I know they tried to get me here
Just to see if I would fly
So find me
So I found this civilization
That they told me all about
There was boats inside of waterfalls
With people jumping out
Of the ocean that kept flaming up
But I know it's all a lie
So find me
There's a thousand million voices
They're screaming in my eyes
Preachers in the forest
Sirens in the sky
Well I walked around and I cried a lot
Thought that I would die
Find me
Flexible Flyer
Down on my flexible flyer
To the bottom how fast I would go
Just waiting for me under the tree
And out in the snow
A cowboy, a nurse or a fireman
There's so many things that you can be
You can set bigger goals, but set your soul
Yeah, set your soul free
Times, places and situations
Lead to an early grave
When we get there we see
Just what did we save?
If your heart is a flame burning brightly
You'll have light and you'll never be cold
And soon you will know that you just grow
You're not growing old
If the wheels of your wagon are rusty
You can paint them until they are new
You can roll down a hill, but if you can't
Then I pity you
Private Plane
You ask how far the farthest star is
To go by bus or to go by car is
Way too far, you couldn't say
You won't get there anyway
He says it takes a private plane
But you could never get back to your feet again
Unless you break the ball and chain
He says "Now, it's a private plane"
With all these places in your mind
There's no reason you have to find
Your private plane
Don't play that game
Keep Hanging On
Only angels have wings girl
And poets have all the words
The earth belongs to the two of us
And the sky belongs to the birds
You've given me so much happiness
That I'll wrap up and give you this song
You gotta grab it with both hands
You gotta keep hanging on...
The cat walks to the window
And I hear the key turn in the door
No one knows and anything goes
And everything falls on the floor
The apartment starts shaking
And the roof opens up to the sun
The crows flying in parallel lines
And golly isn't this great fun?
Laying in each other's arms
We're sleepy, we begin to nod
And we start to dream of grandiose things
Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God
You gotta keep hanging on
