What do you see
You people gazing at me
You see a doll on a music box
That's wound by a key
How can you tell
I'm under a spell
I'm waiting for love's first kiss
You cannot see
How much I long to be free
Turning around on this music box
That's wound by a key
Yearning
Yearning
While
I'm turning around and around
What do you see
(Truly Scrumptious)
You people gazing at me
(you're truly truly scrumptious)
You see a doll on a music box, that's wound by a key
(scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait)
How can you tell I'm
(when you're with me)
Under a spell I'm
(it's so delicious)
Waiting for love's first kiss
(honest truly, you're the answer to my wishes)
You cannot see
(Truly Scrumptious)
How much I long to be free
(though I may seem presumptuous)
Turning around on this music box that's wound by a key
(never ever ever go away)
Yearning
(my heart beats so unruly)
Yearning
(because I love you truly)
While I'm turning around and around
(honest, Truly I do)

So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home
You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home
And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
Oh unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
Oh, calamity, is there no way out, oh yeah
Ooh, take it, take it out
Take it, take it out
Oh yeah
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been,
If you'd had more time
So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
Took the long way home
You took the long way home
You give a little love and it all comes back to you
You're gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do
Took the long way home
You took the long way home

I Send my Love to You
03:15
|

I send my love to you
I send my hands to you
I send my clothes to you
I send my nose to you
I send my trees to you
I send my pleas to you
Won't you send some back to me?
Send your ways to me
Send your call to me
Send you days to me
Send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When i would have you there
You will be...
The moon is falling
My wounds are calling
My head is bleeding
And I'm a duck
The lake is cracking
It hears me quacking
Fuck the land, and two if by me
Send your ways to me
Send your call to me
Send your days to me
Send it all to me
And when i'm high and square
When i would have you there
You will be...

Promise I will always be
Steady and sure
Everything that passes me
Frantic and blurred
Who am I to change what was always here?
I could never turn back a thousand years
Doesn't matter anyway
These are just words
Everything I take from you
I will return
Tell me how to get to the morning train
I will never run, I will always stay
Tell me when the mountains fall
I will just wait
Everyone will turn away
I will look straight
If you'll be my eyes, I can always stand
All that I would ask is that you guide my hand
Now if you need someone to talk to
You can always talk to him
And if you need someone to lean on
You can lean on him
He knows how hard we're trying
He hears the babies crying
He sees the old folks dying
And he gives us all his love
He's smiling down on us
From up above
He gives us all his love
One more thing before I go
One more thing I'll ask you Lord
You may need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
Don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fist into the earth
And I've read your books
It seems that you could use another fool
Well I'm cruel
And I look right through
You must have more important things to do
So if you need a murderer

Last Caress

I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
Go
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
Well, I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death
One last caress
One last caress, sweet death
One last caress, sweet death

If you don't walk as most people do,
Some people walk away from you,
But I won't! I won't!
If you don't talk as most people do,
Some people talk and laugh at you,
But I won't! I won't!
I'll walk with you. I'll talk with you.
That's how I'll show my love for you.
Jesus walked away from none.
He gave his love to ev'ryone.
So I will! I will!
Jesus blessed all he could see,
Then turned and said, "Come, follow me."
And I will! I will!
I will! I will!
I'll walk with you. I'll talk with you.
That's how I'll show my love for you.

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Singing the blues when the Red Sox lose,
it's a crisis in your life.
On the run 'cause all your girlfriends
wanna be your wife.
And the laundry ticket's in the wash.
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad, there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
When the weight of the world has got you down
And you want to end your life,
Bills to pay, a dead-end job,
And problems with the wife.
But don't throw in the towel,
'Cuz there's a place right down the block...
Where you can drink your misery away...
At Flaming Moe's
Let's all go to Flaming Moe's
When liquor in a mug
Can warm you like a hug.
And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...
Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody oo Somebody oo
Somebody who loves me yeah
Somebody oo Somebody oo
To hold me in his arms oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Once upon a time she was fine
And good people knew her name
I was from the ocean floor
But I remember the look in her eyes
True love the birds would sing
And the trees would call her
Name as she walked by
Love was grand until that magic day
She turned me into nothing
Let's talk about something else
I'm starting not to see myself
She went so far away
But I still see her everyday
Nothing
Let's talk about something else
Can't see myself with anyone else
Please oh please
Let's talk about something else
Before I cry....
Waa, waa, waaaaa
She can't see me, but I can
I guess I am the invisible man
She can't see, what would be
Nothing hurts worse
Than being nothing
The invisible man
Some things are hard to understand
The invisible man
Nothing worse than turning into
Once upon a time she was fine
And good people knew her name
I was from outside
Where all the animals and
All the trees were happy
What's wrong I'm standing over here
It's just weird that she can't see me
It's as if she waved her magic wand
And somehow turned me into nothing
The invisible man
Some things are hard to understand
The invisible man
Nothing worse than...
She can't see me, but I can
I guess I am the invisible man
She can't see, what could be
Changed her mind and turned me into nothing
