"Introduce Yourself"

From the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave you
Plenty to scorn, well right on! Then you said in a song that life was
Gettin real tough, but hey I think that you're bluffing, what of it?

Introduce yourself (right on!)

Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo means
Nada nunca. Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet my pants
Every time that I see your face (who are you?)

Introduce yourself (right on!)

Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on?

Introduce yourself (right on!)

"Chinese Arithmetic"

Candle light, it burns in every hole of your eyes
It's beautiful, how much you'll never realize
So hush my love, there's something I'm to tell you now
Your time has come, around again my sleepless one

Your friend was young, hung and plastered
He never knew his own disaster
I think it's good, in fact it was faster
Cause it was you that he was after

Hold me now, as if you'll never let me go
Unhand me now, as if you've always known my name

His love was king, his love was master
He needed more, he needed always
He searched in vein for love and shelter
In every soul, in every hallway

So you thought she'd be sweeter than your girlfriend Peter
Well give it a second chance cause you've yet to meet her
We got the same ideas, we got the same old fears
They're different colors sometimes, but, hey, who cares?
Just years that tears our lives apart
Just like the time that you tried to teach your cousin to walk
He couldn't do it-push!-you told him twice
Well, I do man but it just don't jive

Tried so hard to control my behavior
I tried so hard, so hard to believe you
But now I live only to deceive you...


So KICK and SCREAM!!!

"Death March"
   
There's nothing I'd like more than to let you in
But now you're on the other side and there's no way...
To feel your breath of life upon my face
Cause with the state you're in there wouldn't be a trace
No I wake up every night with this emptiness inside
Hasn't been the same since you left without a trace
Quit the human race, did you? Camina con la muerto?

"We Care A Lot"

We care a lot
About disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
About Los Angeles falling in the sea
About starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
About disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock...Yeah!

We care a lot
About the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
About the people who live off the street
About the welfare of all the boys and girls
About you people cause we're out to save the world

Yeah!

And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!

We care a lot
About the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
About the NY, SF, and LAPD
About you people, about your guns
About the wars you're fighting
Gee, that looks like fun

We care a lot
About the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
About Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
About the little things, the bigger things we top
About you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot

And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....

"The Crab Song"

"And after all the feelings go, I see I still love you so,
I just thought I'd let you know now that everything's okay,
And you are on your way back, back to where you came,"
She said with pain in her heart, it was there from the start.
Now I know why everything turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest, I want flourescence every day and night
For the rest of my life, open your eyes, won't you?
Can't you see you're so beautiful to me?

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a crime of love
And he won't be happy till he sees your blood

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A son of a bitch and he's digging a ditch
For you my friend, my lucky one
So grab your things it's time to run to the other side

Where love takes pride, and your souls
The only thing that stays alive
Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!
Looking back on when I left you...
Crying in pain
Don't look back...[1st verse]

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain, in-credible pain
I understand. You have to be your own person. And that's ok with me.

Hurts, Hurts, Hurts, Like a like a motherfucher
Love. it hurts. it kills. Like a sonofabitch.
That feeling. It gets me. Down inside. Deep down there
No further. Keep going. Oh man that's right out my system

 "R N' R"

Don't put that thing too close to my head
It took this long just to get ahead, he says
He knows for sure, but that he can't decide
Between his decency and this matter of pride
So he's growing up on time, he's growing up in the middle...

And it burns, and it burns, the sun burns
Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?

We've got the same ideas, we got the same old fears;
Different colors sometimes, but hey, who cares?
It's just years that shears our lives apart, like the
Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart, he couldn't do it. PUSH!
So he's growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...

Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
I'm not the kind of person who would say it, if it wasn't the truth
And then you go and tell a friend that her heart's on fire
And it has no meaning.
Now and only now I know the difference when you tell me
There is no difference.
So she's growing up on time, she's growing up in the middle...

Now's the time to evaluate between the love you give
And the love that you take.
"It's not a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it,
It's just a difference of opinion, that much I can take."
So I'm growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...

And it burns

"Blood"


It doesn't really matter, the things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder, up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air is cold, you're messing with my mind
Hey! You do it every time, Hey! And the season comes around
Once more,once more.
It doesn't really matter, the things you try to say
It doesn't really matter, you say 'em every day
Right now just give me more blood
Just give it to me deep red
A flowing river crimson
A flowing river burning with desire
It's great, but I never said how great
Hey, you never really asked, well, I'm asking you right now
So shut up and explain
What's on your mind
In this dark hour
I said it doesn't matter, I can't be that much fatter
And you'll never get as much blood
From a phony Blarney, stone, rock, hard, Granite!?! Solid.

"Spirit"

She looked at me and did the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then just walked away
Then the lights came on and it was over
To my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
So I packed it up and took to a rock show...
Where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
& you can only hear the beat for so long
I asked if there was any way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and act as if...
You worship the very ground on which they walk on...
No way
A temporary absence of gesture
A hidden meaning known to everyone
A slight misconception of leizure
Don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but
Spirit, excellence, further down the road,
These are the tools you'll need further down the road.
So lets pack it up and take it somewhere special...
From a quintessential, existential nightmare
To a sanctuary waiting in the sun

"From Out Of Nowhere"

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start
I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
