Bubblegum
03:25

|
Your cigarette was smoldering
and glowing red and yellow
glowing red and yellow
Five million words were spoken but you
had 'em right at hello
had 'em right at hello
And while the rest of all the universe
was your own Waterloo
You had all you ever really wanted
And when they want you
Oh, it's like a Mello Yello
And when they need you
Yeah, you're blowing bubble gum
And when they love you
oh, it's like a young bordello
When they lean close and
say you're not the only one
You had all you ever really wanted
Your idle mind was daydreaming
and feeling sweet and mellow
feeling sweet and mellow
You got our heartstrings singing
then you played em like a cello
played em like a cello
And while the rest of all the universe
was falling out of tune
you heard all you ever really wanted
you heard all you ever really wanted
vocal/instrumental/bridge
Your cigarette was smoldering
and glowing red and yellow
glowing red and yellow
Five million words were spoken but you
had 'em right at hello
had 'em right at hello
And while the rest of all the universe
was your own Waterloo
You had all you ever really wanted
Your idle mind was daydreaming
and feeling sweet and mellow
feeling sweet and mellow
You got our heartstrings singing
then you played em like a cello
played em like a cello
And while the rest of all the universe
was falling out of tune
you heard all you ever really wanted
you heard all you ever really wanted
And when they want you
Oh, it's like a Mello Yello
And when they need you
Yeah, you're blowing bubble gum
And when they love you
oh, it's like a young bordello
When they lean close and
say you're not the only one
And when they want you
Oh, it's like a Mello Yello
And when they need you
Yeah, you're blowing bubble gum
And when they love you
Baby, it's a young bordello
When they lean close and
say you're not the only one
You had all you ever really wanted
You heard all you ever really wanted
You had all you ever really wanted
You heard all you ever really wanted

Wasting Time
04:21

Time waits for the clock
that says it goes on
and on while you talk
of time wasted
We kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait
we kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait
we kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait
a long long time
waits and watches while you wind
the watch that says what's yours is mine
and while you mind the clock that stops
your wasted time
from wasting time
wasting time
what's yours is mine
wasting time

Long Lost Glass Shoe

Will you be my bucking bronco tonight
Will you play with me through the night
Will you be my one true love tonight
Honey you are such a beautiful sight
A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else well, it seems to fade away
Cuz you’ve got what I want; and you’ve got what I need
And honey it’s my hungry soul you feed
Will you give me kisses on the cheek
I bet you’ll sweep me right off my feet
You’re the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
You could be my beauty queen
A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else seems to fade away
You’ve got what I want; you’ve got what I need
And honey it’s my hungry soul you feed
Will you be my revolutionary fighting machine
I bet you’ll show me so many things
I could see going real real far with you
Cuz you found my long lost glass shoe
A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else seems to fade away
You’ve got what I want; you’ve got what I need
And honey it’s my hungry soul you feed

Red Blue

Come whenever they call you
Know whatever you know
Pink on the inside
Blue when you're feeling low
Go wherever they tell you
Even off to the war
Life on the outside
Love, your only reward
I only wanted
more than you ever could dream of
Love whoever they tell you
Be whoever you love
Red on the inside
Blue when you're breathing slow
I always wanted
all you were never thinking of
You only wanted
more than you ever could dream of

Mama's Little Baby

Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
All the little babies are feeling kinda crazy
Our eyes are looking hazy, it's no time to be lazy
We've been chasing it in circles around this crazy maze
and I'm tired of chasing the carrot they've tied onto the end of a
stringing us along for way to long
it's time we come together, it's time to be strong
instead of waiting on our mamas to carry us along
we'll rise up together, and stand up tall and
we'll stand for the truth and we'll say it out loud
cuz that's how we'll make our mamas proud
Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
All the little baby heads are filled with all the lies their fed
the little brother now is dead, the sister's hooked on pills instead
The neighbor lost his job again, can barely keep his family fed
and we're still waiting on the government to make the changes that they said
would lift us out of this mess we're in, but
instead we're sitting around with bruises on our chins
Well my mama always taught me to be brave and
to stand up for yourself even if you're afraid
cuz it takes a lot of noise if you're gonna make a change
so shout it from the rooftops, sing it in the rain yeah
Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread yeah
Mama's little baby loves, Mama's little baby loves,
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread yeah

Last Lucky Song
02:24

Don't you love that good-looking weatherman
Came on like a hurricane
Would have made a great tornado
Drank up too much rain, now your insides are
Bursting like a water main
Cooling off this hot potato
Thought I heard you moaning and wailing,
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaineâ€
And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary
And when your best friend's
old-fashioned fancy pantsy wedding
starts to feeling kinda funerary
That's when you've got to play
your last lucky song
Don't you know that hole in your teacher's head
Oh, it's like a sewer drain
leaking in and out again
Gonna stuff that hole full of Wonder Bread
Soak up all the strife and strain
Tell him it's a wholesome grain
Saw that teacher holding his head, he said
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaineâ€
And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary
And when that whitebread
old-fashioned spongey-wongey brainpan
starts to looking kinda green and hairy
That's when you've got to play
your last lucky song
Gonna hoe a row on the open plain
Then you fill it up again
Drag your clanking ankle chain
Gotta grow a row of your own instead
When they take your spade away
Dare them to unleash the rain
Got that warden crying and wailing
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaineâ€
And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary
And when that good time
old-fashioned honky tonky music
starts to sounding real contemporary
That's when you've got to play
your last lucky song
That's when you've got to play
