Ask her why
She hasn't known
She wasn't there
Look to the sky
She hasn't flown
She doesn't care
Life is like a fingernail
Sometimes it gets too long
Life is like the skirt you wear
It's too long
Have you heard of the abuse?
She didn't move
Have you heard the news?
She has turned aqua blue
Then you find out
You've been living in a fantasy

Not to worry
Not to care
He didn't hurry
He didn't care
He began speaking
In a very general way
Faces in a crowd
Do you love me?
And do you care?
I am only
One to be shared
Aha, that's right
Do not worry
I will care
Faces in a crowd
Turning their heads
And shouting (laughing) in a
Very general way

Well I packed all my bags
out the door
Leaving these
nowhere shores to nowhere
Leaving today
Leaving today
Leaving all the nowhere shores
Going to the nowhere doors
Going to see her
if I ever meet her
on the journey
Will i get? I hope
Weather's getting better
A ha
Met a man named Larry
He said he could take me there
Said just smoke this son
I'll show you a place like none
you've ever seen before
So I believed so
You know
I walked through the weather
It didn't get better
Larry took me there
Said in all despair
You know
It was not the weather
That was making me feel better
I know
Larry took me there
Led me all the way
Said just smoke this son
Token of smoke it's a ----

Hard to be a hero
when you're Melvin Zero you know
Hard to be on your own
when you're parked in a tow away zone
Overload overload
core in my brain's beginning to melt
Thanks my dear but
ice packs won't help
No no no no

She was hot
She was mean
She was a killing machine
She was my baby
Such a long time ago
She said she found the way
I believed her
No I didn't, not for a moment
That's just the way
I wanted it to seem
I was living the dream
Still don't know
if she was coming or going
She was hot
She was mean
She was a killing machine
Ew Ew Yea Ew Ew Yea
Ew Ew Yea Ew Ew Yea
Yeah, it was really happening
Wished I could of believed them
Yeah, alright
It's going down now
It's going way down
Here we go
I wished I could of understood at times
what was going on
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Sometimes I felt so alien
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Somethings going down
She's really weird
you know that
That's one strange person there
I just really wonder what she's
thinking about
I mean that's one odd
cookie right there
What is going on
Nothings going on
It must be
Me
That's one really strange chick
you know that
What's her problem?

Most girls
hanging around you know
Some girls
go to and fro
Few girls
seldom ever go with
Jane
Jane
I don't know where
I don't know why
But I try and I try
Fast girls
flying' by to high
Girls in neutral
just glide right on by
Slow girls
seldom ever try
Jane
Jane
I don't know why
But I try and I try

If I could take a moment
into my hand
The die would be cast
it will be wildland
I shake my head
and wonder why
Why don't you open up
and let me in
I'll stay as long
as long as you will win
Don't you
turn your back
and walk on by
Magenta against black
black against grey
Grey against blue
and in the blue
there was you
Just sit back
and watch me try
An open field
I'm on my way
once again
The die is cast
and yonder lies
wildland
I turn my head
and laugh out loud

doesn't matter

She said we met in a desert sunrise
when it felt like rain
She said she'll never forget
that time in Spain
It doesn't matter anymore
She said she remembers nothing
of the time next door
I said I thought I saw her in there one day
buying a chair
The chair was painted violet and blue
I remember a day on the street
Just looking at peoples
as they pleased
It doesn't matter anymore

Sometimes
my mind starts to overflow
Wondering
about the places that you go
Well maybe I'll just
calm on down
Maybe the answer lies
in your face
Sometimes
I just turn my head away
Wondering
if all we said was
all we meant to say
Maybe another time
another place
Maybe the answer lies
in your face

Ain't getting me nowhere
The things I eat
Just come out the other end
The work I do
Don't make the pile any smaller
This life I lead
To think it will end

She said
you know that it's true
You're the only one for me and vice versa
I'm the only one for you
I said

Post the do not disturb sign darling
for tonight my heart is sincere
Let's party all night
you bring the drink
and I'll bring the song

Yesterday
There was
another way
More games to play
Where has it gone?
What happened to that song?
Guess it only seemed to be
Romantically
Today
There seems to be a better way
More things to say
What happened to today?
I've been holding on
Where has today gone?

took the train
03:51

Well I call her name
and there's no one there
and I believe
Where has she been
where has she been to me?
I waited for so very long
now I'm giving up hope
and I'm hanging the rope
Where is she?
Maybe another time
maybe another day
where is she
where is she?
10,000 miles away from me
I know there must be a way
any time of day
to reach me
Oh she took the train
Oh she took the train
Oh Ah
Three packs of matches ago
I wondered where and why oh
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Where is she?
I don't know
Woo, no no no
I've got three answers for her
She's got no questions for me
I've got nothing left to give at all
Hop on the train
Hop on the train
Hop on
Hop
This is never ending
never ending babe
Guess you knew it anyway
There is no stopping me
when I get this way
On the train
On the train
Where the hell's the train?

I sent you some flowers
coincides with your name
Can't ship my loving baby
Mmmm that loving
to care for those needs
that I love to fill so very well
Baby, won't you please
wait for me
Can't send it in a postcard
Can't send it over the phone
Guess I'll keep it in deep freeze
Ma Ma Ma Momma
Until I get back home to you
The things we love to do
Won't you please wait for me
I say woman
I say woman
I say woman won't you please
wait for me

time comes
02:42

It's hard to believe
this styrofoam cup will
be here long after
the time has come
And I don't
feel your warm body against mine
And colors don't matter
as much as they do now
When the time comes
When not a breathe is left in me
Not a breathe in me
Don't give my clothes away
When the time comes
Don't weep for me
but for yourself
On second thought
Don't weep at all
And when the day comes
Don't bring flowers to my grave

the way it goes

So that's the way it goes
Guess it only goes to show
The tides have turned
the fire's burned
and we both learned
from reality
Give your position up
Was the mission successful
and now where should we go?
That's the way it goes
