Buoy
03:54
|
|||
I'm terrified by the notion
Of sleep walking into the ocean
My mind carrying my body
Out to the sea
The waves would take me further
Than I ever thought they would
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
But I'd be better as a buoy
But I think I'm lost at sea
I'd be swallowed by a whale
But I think I'll tell the tale
Of how someone like me ended up this way
I'd get caught up in conversations
That I never thought I would
I'm in my boat trying to stay afloat all day
But I'd be better as a buoy
But I think I'm lost at sea
I've been swimming in the wrong direction
But it gets the best of me
I've been thinking about the notion
For far too long
Coming back to the place where I started from
I'm in my boat trying to stay afloat
Been out here all day
Coming down to see the ground
Beneath my feet away
I'm coming back but it's coming in
Washed out to sea
Yeah but I'd be better as a buoy
But I think I'm lost at sea
I've been swimming in the wrong direction
But it gets the best of me
I've been locked in the conversation
That I never thought I would
I've been swimming in the wrong direction
But it gets the best of me

The Carlton

So the only show that I used to watch
Before I'd go to school everyday
Was with the guys from Southern California
His cousin was the Prince of Bel-Air
I remember times when you were standing there
Without a care and then I realized that you were mine
And that you would compare to no one other babe
I a million and a half years
I could never find anyone like you
In two million and a half years
I could never find anyone
In my head, in my head
I can see you baby doing The Carlton (x4)
(musical break)

Almond Joy

You know I took my baby
Down to the candy store
She wanted something sweet
I ain't talking Almond Joy
And then I took my baby
Down to the candy shop
She said she likes the taste
And the feeling of the pop, ROCKS
How many licks does it take
To get to the center ahhhhh of
A tootsie, a tootsie, a tootsie
a tootsie POP
And then I saw my baby
Around the girl next door
They say that three is company
But I ain't keeping any score
And so I took them both
Down to the candy shop
They said they like the taste
And the feeling of the pop, ROCKS
How many licks does it take
To get to the center ahhhhh of
A tootsie, a tootsie, a tootsie
a tootsie POP
You know I took my baby
Down to the candy store
She wanted something sweet
I ain't talking Almond Joy

Regenerated

Regenerated like I was some kind of spy
Regenerated like I was nothing at all
Regenerated like I was back from the dead
Regenerated like I was nothing at all
I've been trying, I've been trying my best
I'm getting no where and I'm getting there pretty fast
I've been doing, I've been doing it all
Just trying to save the world
If I could just get two more
I bet I could beat your high score
If I could just get one more
But I lost all my lives
Guess I'll go outside and play
Regenerated like I was some kind of spy
Regenerated like I was nothing at all
Regenerated like I was back from the dead
Regenerated like I was nothing at all
I've been trying, I've been trying my best
I'm getting no where and I'm getting there pretty fast
I've been doing, I've been doing it all
Just trying to save the world
If I could just get two more
I bet I could beat your high score
If I could just get one more
But I lost all my lives
Guess I'll go outside and play
Guess I'll go outside and play
Guess I'll go outside and play

Costa Rica Costa Rica
I'm going back to Costa Rica
Costa Rica Costa Rica
I'm going back to Costa Rica
I would buy you a souvenir
If I don't spend all my money on beer
I would buy you something nice
But this girl wants to do SWIGS twice

The Kid Comes To Town
03:35
|

The Kid came to town looking for some answers
Asked the sheriff if he'd seen a man with this posture
The sheriff said "no son, I don't believe I have
But if you looking for a girl I know the one you had"
The Kid looked aghast and stared for a moment
Isabella is her name and I'll kill the man that stole her
I took a train from far away
I brought the angel of death and I came to make it rain
Blood from the sky will be coming down
You ain't got no future now that The Kid has come back to town
I hate to tell you son but your Isabella is gone
And the man you're looking for, we hung him up at dawn
The answers that you're searching for are six feet underground
But if you want to drown your sorrows I'm sure there's a bar around
The Kid pulled a pistol swiftly from his side
I know it was you! You son of a bitch and I'll be glad to watch you die
I took a train from far away
I brought the angel of death and I'm gonna make it rain
Blood from the sky will be coming down
You ain't got no future now that The Kid has come back to town
(Howl)
The sun is setting low in the god-forsaken town
Only thing left for The Kid to do is load another round
He put the pistol to his dome and pulled the trigger tight
And the story of The Kid ended that night
I took a train from far away
I brought the angel of death and I'm came to make it rain
Blood from the sky has been coming down
I ain't got no future now that I've come back to town
