Location: Avondale, AZ | Her hair is black.
It's the length of her back.
As she turns around, she smiles.
She gives a wink
to make me think
She knows I've been watching her for awhile.
I like it but then I wrote it. |

Location: closely held secret | It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
And they say that one day Joshua
Made the sun stand still in the sky
But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made
Forged in the fires of human passion
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
And with these our hells and our heavens
So few inches apart
We must be awfully small,
And not as strong as we think we are
And the Master said their faith was
Gonna make them mountains move
But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
Just at the thought of how I lost you
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
And if you make me laugh,
I know I could make you like me
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
But when we can't do that I know that it is fright'ning
What I don't know is why we can't hold on,
We can't hold on.
When you love you walk on the water,
Just don't stumble on the waves.
We all want to go there somethin' awful,
But to stand there it takes some grace,
'Cause oh, we are not as strong
As we think we are |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | A man sits down to write a letter, but instead he writes a book
The book begins -
Dear Sir, I don't know if you're interested but you're wife is a whore
A man gets on a train and proceeds to take all his clothes off
He begins to play with himself, and he says
"In my country, this is definitely not offensive"
A man pours petrol through his neighbour's letterbox
And throws in a match
The house is engulfed in flames
As the neighbours jump from the upstairs window
He films the whole thing on video
He plays it back to them later in hospital
"Things have been pretty dull at home without you" he says
A man pushes a lawn mower two hundred miles on his knees
To the tomb of the unknown gardener
"Great one" he cries "I've done my penance. I bring my offering.
Grant me, grant me, grant me, pest-free roses"
Psycho Street, friendly people down on Psycho Street
Good neighbours down on Psycho Street
And if you need a hand, need a friend, we understand
And if you need a pal, we'll be there, anyhow
Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street
A man stakes his neighbour's cat to the barbecue and turns on the gas
"Now are you going to talk" he says
"Or am I going to have to get nasty?"
A man has an inflatable doll made
That looks exactly like his wife
He murders his wife, dissolves her body in acid
And marries the doll
Three years later, he leaves her for another doll
A man hands his son a brick and says
"Son, throw this brick through the greenhouse next door"
The boy does
The boy next door throws one back
It hits the man on the head and mortally wounds him
"Ah well" he says, as his life blood trickles away
"Boys will be boys"
A thoughtful woman sends her best friend a parcel
Inside, it says, is a free sample, full body beauty treatment
But really it contains acids and chemicals
When her friend tries it, her hair falls out,
Her face is wrinkled and her body scarred
The thoughtful woman turns to her husband and winks
And says "Pre-emptive strike"
Psycho Street, friendly people down on Psycho Street
Good neighbours down on Psycho Street
If you need a hand, need a friend, we understand
And if you need a pal, we'll be there, anyhow
Oh Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street
Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street |

The mental image of you typing out those lyrics while in your "jammies" has totally creeped me out. Totally.
Schroeder...If this creeps you out too, it's not to late. Just change your tickets to arrive in Detroit and you can travel with us. |

Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot is running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey Aqualung
Lying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Hey Aqualung... |

Location: closely held secret | Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese
It ain't pork or chicken but a fat Siamese?
Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain.
But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet-and-sour pork
But Garfield’s on my fork.
He’s purrin’ here on my fork.
CHORUS
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boy.
They fry it real crisp in dough.
Chou Lin asked if I wanted more
As he was dialin’ up his buddy at the old pet store.
I said "Not today. I lost my appetite.
There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight."
I was suckin’ on a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boys.
And that is when I knew.
CHORUS
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon.
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork
But it’s purrin’ there on my fork.
There’s a hair-ball on my fork. |

Location: Whitecourt, Ab | I think that there's a problem here,
my voice just don't sond right.
I left myself on the answering machine
said; "I'm back in town tonight".
I feel a step out of the wilderness
All squint-eyed and confused...
But even babies raised by wolves'd know
exactly when they've been used.
See when it starts to fall apart,
Man, it really falls apart.
Like boots and hearts, oh when they start,
They really fall apart.
Fingers and toes, fingers and toes,
Are forty things we share, forty-one
If you include the fact that we don't care...
Tragically Hip
Ever been at the end of a relationship,
But too dumb to end it?

We're all gonna die someday, Lord
We're all gonna die someday
Mama's on pills, daddy's over the hill
But we're all gonna die someday
It's hurts down here on earth, Lord
It's hurts down here on earth
It's hurtin down here cause we're runnin outta beer
but we're all gonna die someday

All of my friends are stoned, Lord
All of my friends are stoned
Janie got stoned cause she could't get boned
but we're all gonna die someday

Location: ms | drivin all day, we both said nothing
you had your face in a magazine
i tuned in to the oldies sation
got blew away in a time machine
this world is so amazing
the sun is shinin and it's rainin too
i waited all my life for you
i don't mind sometimes not talkin
sometimes there aint a thing to say
anyway i know what your thinkin and
i kinda like it when you think that way
think i'll just keep on drivin
anywhere will do
i waited all my life for you
(chorus)
all my life, i knew you were out there
all my life i knew, you were waitin somewhere
some people tell you everything they're thinkin
say yes they will and then they never do
i never have to ask you to speak up
every word you say is true
say you'll be mine forever
never leave me blue
i waited all my life for you
(repeat chorus)

Location: Braman, OK | Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut,
Called the doctor, woke him up, and said,
"Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"
"Now let me get this straight;
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
called your doctor, woke him up, and said,
'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?'
You put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both down,
You put the lime in the cocount, you're such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning. |

in the Danger zone
there's a rumblin' groan
down below
there's a big dark town
it's a place I've found
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND
they're alive, they're awake
while the rest of the world is asleep
below the mine shaft roads
it will all unfold
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND
all the roots hang down
swing from town to town
they are marching around
down under your boots
all the trucks unload
beyond the gopher holes
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND
--Tom Waits "Underground" from
the album "Swordfishtrombones" |

Location: closely held secret | Walkin' down by the golf course
Watchin' the golfers golf
Watchin' them hit them golf balls
They're ridin' in their golf carts
Mr. Jones shot an eagle
Mr. Smith shot a par
Mr. Green shot a bogey
He's down drinking in the clubhouse bar
I'll never be no caddie
Totin' another man's bag
No I'll never be no caddie
Wavin' another man's flag
Watch out for that sand trap
Wear your golfin' shoes
Watch out for that frog pond
Watch out for them golfin' blues |
