She's A Girl

She doesn’t have to worry she’s a girl
Well I’ve been around with a lot of girls
but I can’t understand what makes their world turn round
Well I’m no saint father figured it out,
mama never had a clue what it was about ‘cause she’s a girl
she’s a girl, ooh
she’s a girl, oh yes she is,
so watch out boy she won’t make you happy
‘cause she’s a girl and that’s not what she’s for,
she’s crazy for you for just five minutes more
I used to think that life was sweet,
but twice a little girl knocked me off my seat and I never got up again, girlfriend, my love for you will never end,
‘cause now it’s all we had
What was isn’t anymore since she showed me to the door
Now every morning I wake up right at eight,
and go to the store looking for a date with a girl
but when I called her she was already watching a movie,
Breakfast Club at Tiffany’s and drinks later on ooh with a “friend”
Is it a girlfriend a boyfriend?
I just don’t know about this one
How I wonder what happens up in her head
Does she wanna see a movie or wanna get fed?
Or do both?
Or walk along the beach forever?
I’m crazy for thinking, I had a chance with you.
Girl, Girl.... How I long to hold her but I don’t know what to say.
There’s sushi-barbeque party Saturday,
Whoa, yeah sweet
Try to forget, I used to buy her flowers
and walk her around this little town for hours
Hoping that she would notice the things that I did
Now that she’s older she doesn’t have to worry
No, she takes her time, because she knows I’m in a hurry
Still waiting for that someone that’ll sweep me off my feet
Girl, Girl
I put my hand into some soft bush,
thinking the sweetest flower to find was a girl
But the thorn it stuck me to the bone
and oh I left that flower alone what a girl
She’s a girl, ooh
Love is handsome and love is fine,
gay as a jewel when it’s first new
but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like summer dew Just like me from you
I left my mother with my father’s hand,
my brother will too once he’s a man ‘cause she’s a girl
My brother got involved he got carried away,
now he’s married and she’s here to stay, she’s a girl,
She’s a girl, ooh
I wonder what she thought as I did it with her
Did she think about my brother, ‘cause he was first?
Now my sister won’t talk to her best friend anymore
how sad, we’re sorry about girls
What was isn’t anymore, since she showed me to the door
come down a level, sit tight you devil, on your disco high whoa,
memories, now it’s all I have,
what was isn’t anymore since she showed me to the door
A disaster out at Black Rock City,
I got worked harder than anyone’s ever seen, ooh she’s a girl
Late that night at that same city,
neither one of them could get any sleep, he was alone
and she was in the center camp all ready to bone with another man
Then seven lonely people got carried away,
locked in a room and they started to play with each other
There were four little boys but only three of those girls
But just down the hall in the other room
asleep unaware, a sight unseen
he lay unengaged
as she finally flowered close enough to be his roommate
She felt like she was free

I’ve got an ace in the hole and I’m savin’ rock n’ roll
but I can’t forget the one that got away
Cruisin’ round town in a mini-van with snow-studded wheels
I won’t go out in style gotta keep it real
I’ve got a stack of cash drawn to rock it with the Rolling Stones, no
So if you wanna come along tonight get ready to go girl
There’s a fire on the roof but were goin’ at it under the sheets
We’re digging up a hole,
Saving rock n roll with this band
Headstones
She can’t make her mind up
Your love it always seemed too good
It’s better if that we forget about it
The memories steal the moment still
The death of rock n’ roll is like the One that got away
Slipped through your fingers and now your mind’s stuck on replay
No one’s ever gonna top the beats of Led to the Z, no
We might as well just take it back up to the M O Z
So sad and uninspired, You’re living in it after the peak
We’re bringing back the soul Saving rock n’ roll with this band
It’s just a song
but were bringin’ the blazing heat
I’ll tell you boy I’ve got an ace in the hole and I’m saving rock n’ roll
Headstones
She can’t make her mind up
Her lovin’ always felt too good
It’s better if I just forget about it,
the memories fill the moment still
Unfeigned love steals over me when I’m fixed on you
The pain of separation doesn’t seem to wane with days gone by
And he wanted to be rockin’ to the finish line
Everybody’s having a good time tonight
Flyin’ high, so high,
George Bush is a bad ass, bad ass man
His daddy is the bad ass leader of a bad ass klan
And mama Bush doesn’t even give it up
And mama Bush doesn’t even give it up Just tell it like it is,
He wanted to stay rockin’ to the finish line
You can’t forget about the pain if you don’t know the game
Your being hunted in the wild and you don’t understand
I’ve got an ace in hole and I’m saving rock n’ roll
You’re playing golf but you’re drivin’ passed the green
All you’ve got to do is
go with the flow in the got a name game of rock n’ roll
Remember you would always turn on the tube and you’d see him
He’s the one that you all know
We all loved him so, now he’s gone
In this song we’re bringin’ the blazing heat
All you’ve got to do is
go with the flow in the got a name game of rock n’ roll
The death of rock n’ roll is like the One that got away
Slipped through your fingers and now your just runnin’ astray
No one’s ever gonna top the beats of Led to the Z, no
We might as well just take it back up to the M O Z ....
We might as well just go back to making A...R...T...
I’ve got an ace in the hole and I’m saving rock
Just go with the flow in the gotta name game
I’ve got an ace in the hole and Mama Bush doesn’t even give it up
You can’t forget about the pain if you don’t know the game
I’ve got an ace in the hole and I’m saving rock n’ roll
You’re being hunted in the wild and you don’t understand
You’ve got to go with the flow in the got a name game of rock n’ roll
You can’t forget about the pain if you don’t know the game
I’ve got an ace in the hole and mama Bush doesn’t even give it up
You’re being hunted in the wild and you don’t understand
You’ve got to go with the flow and mama Bush doesn’t even give it up
I’ve got an Ace in the hole and I’m saving rock n’ roll
Just go with the flow in the got a name game of rock n’ roll
I’ve got an ace in the hole but mama mama Bush
doesn’t give it up, she doesn’t give it up

So happy
I feel so good
And my name is Mud
And I’ve got your ex-girlfriend over at my house (I’m telling you)
I brought you something more than a mattress to store
I brought you a story
She needed help washing her back when she showered
I couldn’t help wanting to make love
and I’m sure you know she’s fine
She’s keeps going, but I’m waiting
‘cause I wanted to ask you if it’s alright if I held her hand
and what was going on?
While you were making yourself ill
with thoughts of a woman who couldn’t love you
and you were ready to give yourself up to a luscious lady
But now she’s telling me I gotta get even
Well I’m gonna try my best
Listen to what I’ve got to say
but the timeline’s gonna stay out of the story
‘cause you wouldn’t even understand it
I’ve been taken her all over the world and I’m just getting home
Might as well just get married
‘Cause you know the pressure’s on
My little sister just tied the knot with some Australian Don Juan
Digging like a mole
oh, Lord, oh
People seem to stare when we walk down the street now
My baby is on my arm for real now
And she’s all over my pillow talking chances and chasing children
Keep it coming and I’ll have her coming over to my house for more
We shake it to the soul
In the name of Rock n’ Roll
I’ll be taking her all over the world when you’re just getting home

Now who knew there’d be such a big problem having happiness come to you?
Who knew that sex would destroy us?
And when you saw that my fur was on fire
Why didn’t you avert your eyes?
Ooh I’m a rhino watching you as you discover
You call me horny and you giggle
And you steal my photograph while I eat grass
From your warped perspective I take shelter behind the tall grass
And summer comes late this year
and so what your doing you’re messing with my head
Snapping photographs
I’m no dumb giraffe, I’m nothing special
And if you were the last white tiger on the face of this earth
I’d be the last abstinent female white tiger
You can live your life lonely like a lonely old tiger on the mountain top Come down, Calm down
Come down from the mountain hard as a tumbling boulder
Fall where you may I’m gonna offer you
National Geographic centerfolds
They can try but they won’t bring me down
Kibbles n’ bits and your big mamas tits and penthouse downtown
Paint up your body drink a hot toddy come and see us sometime soon
Well we love the way you look at us but don’t look back
Don’t fuckin’ feed the animals, how about that ??
Look how thin I got since they don’t feed me squat
Nobody’s watching if you’ve got food
Whoah look at me I’m playin’ in the water
Ducks and penguins have a real good time
And when you saw that my fur was on fire
And my loins were burning with animal lust
For the fruit of us
The cheap desire to fill up the nursery
The badger lays his hands on the porcupine
I’m hungry
Starving sexually
My dog got ran over
My mama just died
What can you say?
One went for a little bit longer ride
Now and then I’m reminded of each of them by fleas
Birds fucking bees
Stranger things have happened
Down on my knees
Scooping up a bats hand with a napkin
While I’m napping
Or was it just a dream of mine ?
Unicorns resist existence
Their persistence is ridiculous
Just like this
And who knew the problems with sleeping out on the street?
And all the animals going in and out of heat
And the full moon comes around and my dog starts to howl
And meets a neighbor dog and the bitch gets fucked til’ who knows when?
I can’t sleep out here again
‘fore my mama said I’m a make man of you
She didn’t know what I already knew
Swinging crazy
Impossible baby
What you know about a crocodile monkey ?
‘fore my mama said I’m a make man of you
She didn’t know what I already knew
Swinging crazy
Impossible baby
What you know about a crocodile monkey?
My mom said I’d suffer the fate of the damned
if I didn’t keep my hands to myself
but touching came so natural the animals just hated me

Goodbye Kiss

I told myself this is not something to hold on to
Don’t get ahead in your head
I couldn’t even control my own self again
I’m falling in a lonely hole
Where only bones are gathered
And mole hairs all been scattered
‘Cause they’ve been eatin’ on the suckers that fall to their death
Just one more time
Tell me you’ve got something to do
You ain’t got enough in your heart for one more
trip to the moon, my girl
Just tell me that you’ll give me that goodbye kiss
Right in the way of another dream
I bet she can’t sleep without a boy to kill right next to her little pillow
So go home
I’ll forget it all
Don’t think I’m gonna be your fool
Deceptions of another promised love
Just walk away run from everything again
You never had nothin’
So go home
I’ll forget it all
Don’t think I’m gonna be your fool
Deceptions of another promised love
Just walk away run from everything again
You never had nothin’

Stand By Your Man

A misunderstanding
Soulmate revision of someone watching this world alone
Years go by and faces fade from your day
Ask her if she isn’t fit to wear?
With crystal vision
Stand by your man
Everything is beautiful Armloads of tragedy
A second beginning
The same old story
of little boys come and then they go babe
Just stand by your man
Stand by your man
Southern California’s newest crowded highway
Street sweeping lonely streets of me
Stay together I don’t think so,
Than be with me she’d rather be alone
If she could only stand by her man
And the resulting smile searching
You’ll find him I swear
Just stand by your man
Bored blindly watching
The same old story of little boys coming and then going,
Stand by your man
Try to make him happy just once babe
Stand by your man
Little boys come and then they go girl
Just stand by your man
Will you ever stand by your man?

Bound and Broken
This building’s on fire
Bursting at the seam
Dreaming of creaming
Hog tied and left outside
I was deep fried
I was freeze dried
Left high and dry
Clutching the consolation prize
Perfect

One Summer’s Dream
Now but a moment
There was enough in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Quite lovely was she
And he walked through a forest
She could swear she’d laid eyes on before
A girl who felt like she was free
I walked as she talked
She with a non-believer
Of mysteries not so quickly forgotten
And later she saw
As I slipped off my robe and followed a naked man into the water
A family style meal girl you were free
Half beautiful love that she couldn’t wear
Waiting for someone who just isn’t (there)
There she was
A bridge to a new love
So fragrantly sweet that she is the only
One summer’s dream
Bread from the batter
Cellar I’m sold on grapes not forgotten
Become wine
And dusk into evening
Come morning’s first knight I’ll be drunk again
No kiss goodnight girl you were free
Now that she’s older she doesn’t have to worry she’s a girl

Lucky (she is mine)
03:26

Why was it so hard to find before I saw her?
Lucky to find a pillow when she sleeps her head
So long as it’s there when she wakes up tomorrow
The summer sun in her hair sparkling new
I’ve waited so long to hear her whisper songs into my ear
As it goes away
Another day
So lovely to know
She is mine
Why was it so hard to find before I saw her there on the couch?
She does not want to even hear me out
My it was so hard to find before I saw her
There by the door
Searching for the answers
I don’t know but it’s good
Away this summer’s day so lovely to know
She is mine
Clean, fair, and clear
Insisting that I brace her hand long-term
Fleeting stones
Yet radiant and free
Wondering truly you and me
Tethered and wanting
And making them in twos
But spaced out and separate by threes
Bustling
Just like a weary dream
Accounted for
Another ring
She is mine
Why was it so hard to find before I saw her there by the door?
Searching for the answers evermore
No other rings
Away another day
So lucky to know she is mine
