Odd Man Out
05:10
|
|||
Never fit in here
Never fit in there
No matter how I tried
I never fit in anywhere
Did what I could
To accommodate
But all of my efforts were in vain
And that's how it always will remain
When you're the odd man out
When you're the odd man out
When you're the odd man out
Of this world
Never was no good
Never was no bad
Never was too happy
Never was too sad
Changed my hair
Changed my look
But it never did me good
Guess I never understood
Never was too weak
Never was too strong
No matter what I did
Never could belong
People put me down
Said I'm a fool
And who was I to disagree
There was something wrong with me

You Can Close Your Eyes

You Can Close Your Eyes to the Things
You Don't Want to See
But You Can't Close Your Heart
To the Things You Don't Want to Feel
Move on up
Move on up
Move on up
To the movin' groove
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on the move
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Down to your soul
Get in sync
Get in sync
Get in sync
To the drum roll
You can close your eyes to the things
You don't want to see
But you can't close your heart
To the thing you don't want to feel
Move on in
Move on in
Move on in
Move close to me
Shake it to the left
Shake it to the right
Shake, shake, shake your booty

Secret Song
04:52
|
|||
Every night I say a prayer
I say a prayer for a dream come true
And every night I get down on my knees
I get down and I pray for you
I pray that you will hear me
I pray that you will find a way
This is my dream
My dream is love
This is my dream
My dream is love
It is my secret song
It is my secret song
Every night I say a prayer
I say a prayer that you will love me
And every night I get down on my knees
But I don’t see you above me
Still I pray that you will rescue me
I pray you will be the one
I pray to you and you alone
I pray that you will save my soul
I pray that you will find me
I pray that you will make me whole

Strange Days
05:19
|
|||
Can't make heads or tails of it all
Nothing seems quite right
People acting mighty peculiar
People acting none too bright
I walk around in a haze
In these strange days
These strange days
What became of all the nerds
Who were gonna save our asses
They only good thing they've come up with
Is an app to placate the masses
For that they get all the praise
In these strange days
These strange days
Most folks are fat, dumb and lazy
Don't wanna get anything done
Their idea of a good time
Is to let someone else have the fun
Me I hope it's all just a phase
In these strange days
These strange days
Kids got Starbucks in one hand
And a device in the other
They walk around like dead-eyed zombies
One after another
Nothing cuts through their malaise
In these strange days
These strange days

I am a stranger here
I don't belong no more
You've made abundantly clear
I am someone you deplore
There is no place for me
You shut me out with a wall
Everything that I've known
You've smashed it with a wrecking ball
There is no way to make our peace
If our hatred won't ever cease
This is your world
I just live here
This is your world
I just live here
I get it, yeah
I'll be on my way
See you later
Have a nice day
I don't mean nothing to you
I am but a speck of dust
You sweep out of your life
And treat me with disgust
Wish I knew what I did
That has made you hate me so much
Don't like the cut of my jib
Don't like my common touch
I guess you just hate the sight of me
I must remind you of a life carefree
You make all of the rules
And I'm obliged to go along
And rule number one
Says that I just don't belong
You live out your dreams
But I don't get to live out mine
You are at the top
While I am in a serious decline
Hope you're happy with what you got
While I learn to live with my shitty lot

I Don't Get You
05:41
|
|||
You say it's complicated
Like a puzzle with some pieces lost
"If you stand back you'll see the picture
If you look hard the details are nicely embossed"
I guess I don't see it
But then again I can be so shallow and blind
Guess I'll never know just what to think
What goes on inside your complex mind
So many things I don't understand
Can't you please lend me a hand
And I don't get you
Never did and never will
I don't get you
But I'm waiting for you still
You got a million excuses
To explain away all your various acts
Does it really matter what I think
When you've got such a handle on all of the facts
I want to show sympathy
But you make it so incredibly hard
There can be no bridge between us
When you always put up your guard
No I don't know where you've been
Could you please clue me in
You say I should trust you
And you have my best interest at heart
Well I won't be taken in
By the insincerity that you impart
Why do you just what you do
Well I can only speculate
If you don't hear what you say
All of your words will carry no weight
Talk to me loud and clear
In a voice that I can hear

My Shit Is Fucked
04:37
|
|||
Went to the doctor, she said I’m screwed
She said my health was anything but rude
“Your BP has gone through the ceiling”
She said it in a voice bereft of real feeling
“Take a Beta Blocker, take a diuretic
Overall I’d say you look pretty pathetic
Come back next week
We’ll see what we will see
Drink a lot of water
Don’t hold in your pee”
Just when I thought that my life totally sucked
It’s like I ain’t seen nothing
My shit is fucked
Came down with shingles
Unimagined pain
Couldn’t sleep for weeks on end
‘Bout drove me insane
Next thing I knew I had neuralgia
It was like being burned alive
And I was no brave soldier
I whooped and yelled
I hollered and screamed
Nothing could be worse than this
Or so it seemed
Just when I thought that my life totally sucked
It’s like I ain’t seen nothing
My shit is fucked
Went to the dentist
Hadn’t been in years
He said my teeth were shit
‘Bout brought me down to tears
“Gonna hafta pull ‘em all out
And replace ‘em all with fakes”
He didn’t sugarcoat it
Just said, “Dems da breaks”
“It’s what you get for poor hygiene
Now rinse your mouth out
With this here fluorine”
Just when I thought that my life totally sucked
It’s like I ain’t seen nothing
My shit is fucked

Blame It On the Angels
06:30
|
|||
You and your little girl
Stepped out into the street
You didn't look both ways
Got knocked right off your feet
It was quite a surprise when you both awoke
Had no idea that a car was coming
And the first thing you spoke was
Blame it on the angels
What they're up to well we can't see
Who's to say what's right or wrong
Not me, not me
Blame it on the angels
I'm just glad that they're here on our side
Good thing they're protecting us
Or we might've died
You live your life this way not taking responsibility
Somehow you have escaped the savages and their savagery
Whenever you feel depressed
Something lifts you off the ground
When all is silent
You can hear your own sweet sound
Oh those crazy angels
They got lots to answer for
Sometimes in the middle of the night
They come a-banging on your door
Just the other day you won the lottery
And you smiled and got all starry-eyed
When I asked you how you felt
"Thank the angels," you said, "The angels on my side"

Too Old to Fuck Around
04:33
|
|||
How many days do I have left
Don't know for sure but it's not a lot
I can't be wasting my time
With what little time I got
I know I'm being foolish
I know I'm being dumb
Might as curl up in a ball
And suck my thumb
What I am seeking it can't be found
And I am too old, too old to fuck around
The clock is a-ticking
And time is just flying on by
The things that I thought I knew
Gone in the blink of an eye
Wanna hang on
Wanna hold you with all my might
But when I open my eyes
I see you've taken flight
Got get on with it
Before I lose yet another day
Got to let you go
Much to my dismay
Once I had all the time in the world
At least that's what I thought
I fooled around and fell in love
A tempest in a teapot
I believed had tomorrow
But tomorrow has come and gone
And all that I got left
Is a measly denouement

Skin
04:33
|
|||
Wherever I go, there it is
It stands me up
When I take a whizz
It is my friend, it is my enemy
What I am, yeah it is me
This is the skin
The skin I'm in
This is the skin
The skin I'm in
It taste just like cinnamon
Skin
This skin I'm in
It is my shoes when I got no shoes
It lets me cry when I got the blues
It is the hat
The hat that stops the rain
It's got my back when I got the pain
It ain't never
Gonna let me down
It will cover me
Six feet in the ground
It is the coat that I adorn
It is the suit from when I was born
It feels good when I masturbate
I can love it and I can hate

Blue Skies Ahead
05:49
|
|||
Who am I
An ordinary guy
Waiting for the end of days
The signs are here
The signs are there
It's no passing phase
The future beckons like a twisted finger
Come to me, come to me
Can't resist it, got no choice
What will be will be
Blue skies ahead
I live in hope
Blue skies ahead
I need it to cope
It's been so overcast
Hope that goes away fast
What do I do to get through
Who can I rely upon
Is no one here willing to help
Before the great denouement
Got no cash, got no goods
Mostly bads in my brain
Would be swell if I could get some vitamin L
Flush the poison down the drain
Move to an island, get fat and tan
Take a nap in the afternoon, get myself a plan
Watch the rain again and again
It never stops coming down
The willow tree weeps no more
Its roots have all but withered and drowned
