DESERT ISLAND

I'll be the madness that carries you away
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day
I'll be the desert island where you can be free
I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

We'll develop muscles from cracking coconuts
Let our clothing drop off feel each other's butts
Start a better country where we can get things done
Make a fortune turning sand to silicon

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

While we're still holding on counting days until we're
gone
Can we spend some time alone in our free love zone

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

DON'T LOOK AWAY

Don't look away
I don't think I could stand it
So don't look away
'cause my heart couldn't handle it
There's a fire in your eyes
And it's melting the ice
In my heart
So don't blink an eye
They're so beautiful open
Just let them cry
Or the spell will be broken
The moments in your gaze
Have been turning to days
In my heart
We've never met
And yet
We're in love
Never forget
One look is enough
Just as long as you
Don't look away
We can never be lovers
There's one chance to take
There won't be any others
I'll be spending my life
With your eyes like a knife
In my heart

DREAMS ANYMORE


he put his fist through the window
and his foot through the door
cause she don't believe in his dreams anymore
no, she don't believe in his dreams anymore
and what's more, she's probably right

so he drives through the night with his foot to the floor
cause she don't believe in his dreams anymore
better hopelessly single than hopelessly poor
and she don't believe in his dreams anymore
no, she don't believe in his dreams anymore

and what for? they just drag you down
if she's stuck in this town she can work in the store
but she won't believe in his dreams anymore

DRIVE ON DRIVER


Drive on, driver
There's no one home
We waited hours
she didn't come
It's such a pretty little end
But it doesn't mean anything
Drive on

Drive on driver
Don't you cry
I gave her everything money could buy
You always said that girl
deserved the whole wide world

Drive on
and take me to the airport
I need to be extremely far away
so I can forget about her
I might forget about her someday

Drive on, Randy
It's all gone wrong
have some brandy, sing me a song
Something soft and low
can we please just go?

Drive on

EITHER YOU DON'T LOVE ME OR I DON'T LOVE YOU

Lost roads and towns of which nobody's found the name.
All the children drowned and there's no one around to
blame.
Lost roads and towns left to wilder in seed and snow.
As the sun goes down that's where I'd like to go.

***
Every time you feel wonderful, baby, I feel bad.
Either you don't love me or I don't love you, oh yeah.
When you remind me of all the good times I feel sad.
Either you don't love me or I don't love you, oh yeah.
***

You and me in the waiting room of a disused railroad
station,
scavenging for a few antiques,
we'll make a fortune just have patience.
If we find an old signal box you can write your
dissertation.

EPITAPH FOR MY HEART

"Caution: to prevent electric shock do not remove cover
No user-serviceable parts insde Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel"
Let this be the epitaph for my heart Cupid put too much poison in the dart
This is the epitaph for my heart because it's gone, gone gone
and life goes on and on anon and death goes on, world without end
and you're not my friend Who will mourn the passing of my heart
Will its little droppings climb the pop chart Who'll take its ashes and,
singing, fling them from the top of the Brill Building And life goes on,
and dawn, and dawn and death goes on, world without end and you're
not my friend

FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE WOLFBOY

She can make you feel like filth
She can make you feel like a star
She will scratch till her hand is bloody
But she'll love you more for the scar
She remembers the recent past
She's something the cat dragged in
She's a trollop in paisley, so,
(C): Take her down to the woods where the wolfboy lives,
So the villagers say,
And the three of you evaporate into the night
Till you both fall in love with him
With a face like an African mask
And the strength of ten men
When she's wrong
She's in charge in the world at large
And her novels are all very long
She belongs on the astral plane
She's probably a hologram
Put her back in the padded cell (C)
So you'll dress head to foot in lame
And you'll dance in December snow
When the sky turns to wine you'll embrace
And forget everything that you know
She can tell you the will of the gods
Butter won't melt in her mouth, but you will
Don't bother to ask her name (C)

FAMOUS


I know you've tried
I know you've cried
I know you're died
A little inside but
(C): Baby you could be famous
You could see your marble face all around
Baby you could be famous
If you could just get out of this town
Just get out of this town now
Baby you could be famous
You could sell the world a new look and sound
Baby you could be famous
If you could just get out of this town
Just get out of this town now
You sold your soul
To rock'n'roll
Gave up control
But here's your loophole:
(C)
You are the queen
Of every scene
You are the king
Of everything.
(C)

FEAR OF TRAINS


It was the army train that took her daddy from her
It was the bible train that took her momma too
And that high loud whistle made her horse run away
But the straw the broke the camel's back was you

It was the government train that took away her
childhood
It was the KKK that took away her past
It was the white man's will that hers be broken
But that barefoot girl could run too fast


CHORUS:
Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with
a
Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat
Everything she loved went down the dragon track
She had a fear of trains


BRIDGE:
In the beet fields of Montana
She's always coming on dead rails
to break the plow and whisper "Honey,
bound to live is bound to fail"

And in a park in San Francisco
her momma shrieks about the Lord
And down the dead rails there's an echo
The wind is whistling all-aboard

CHORUS

It was the wagon train that took away her country
It was the oil train that took away her land
She could have been the belle of the ponderosa
but that was not the fat man's plan

CHORUS

FIDO, YOUR LEASH IS TOO LONG

Fido, your leash is too long
You go where you don't belong
You've been digging in the rubble
Gettin' bitches in trouble
Fido, your leash is too long

Fido, your leash is too long
I don't know where I went wrong
You scare me out of my wits
When you do that Shitzhu
Fido, your leash is too long

Fido, you've gone far enough
I must have all of your love
You just run out of luck
I don't care what you foxhounds
Do, but your leash is too long
