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 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 02:16
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
