TIME ENOUGH FOR ROCKING WHEN WE'RE OLD


There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old
We can rock all day in rocking chairs of gold
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love

There'll be time enough for talk in the nursing home
Darling, time enough to write an epic poem
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for talking in the home, my love

There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead
You will have a velvet pillow for your head
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead, my love

There'll be time for sex and drugs in Heaven
When our pheromones are turned up to eleven
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in Heaven, my love
And time enough for rocking when we're old

TOKYO A-GO-GO

I was only doing my job for the Company
with a gun in my pocket and no identity
I fell in love with you but we're not free. (C):
Tokyo A go-go, Tokyo A go-go
the dancing spies with evil eyes that walk the night
Tokyo A go-go, Tokyo A go-go
in colored scenes the dancing queens with laser beams.
You were just another boy only seventeen
well designed for giving pleasure
just a love machine
Now we've got to run away
We're turning green. (C)

TOO DRUNK TO DREAM

Sober, life is a prison
Shitfaced, it is a blessing
Sober, nobody wants you
Shitfaced, they're all undressing
Sober, it's ever darker
Shitfaced, the moon is nearer
Sober, you're old and ugly
Shitfaced, who needs a mirror?
Sober, you're a cromagnon
Shitfaced, you're very clever
Sober, you never should be
Shitfaced, now and forever!

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'Cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you

I gotta get too pissed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink wine not to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap

I know you think I'm insane
I know it's not appealing
But till I'm feeling no pain
Guess what I'll be feeling?

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'Cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you

I gotta get too fried to cry
Or I'll be crying all night long
I gotta get too high to sigh
Oh my God, where did I go wrong?

So why do I get plastered?
And why am I so lonely?
It's you, you heartless bastard
You're my one and only!

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'Cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you

I gotta get too pissed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink wine not to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap!

TORN GREEN VELVET EYES

You know the rain is gone when the sky is full of dust
and the tears are gone when your eyes are red as rust
and it just rains because it can and you just cry until
you can't

But I can feel my courage crumbling
and my heart just turns to ice
When I see myself reflected
in your torn green velvet eyes.

You know the night is gone when the sunlight burns your
eyes
and the cold is gone when the room is full of flies
and it's all a waste of time if you try to change your
mind
And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your
mind

TWO CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A COUNTRY SONG

You were just like me
You were one big bruise
In the game of life with your playing too lose
You were Jessy James
I was William Tell
You were Daniel Webster
I was the devil himself

Two characters in search of a country song
Just make believe, but so in love
Two characters been listin' all night long
for voices from Nashville above

Hell in eighteen wheels
at a hundred per
We went crashing through the Jersey barrier
But the road went on
over dale and hill
You were Calamity Jane
and I was Wild Bill

Two characters in search of a country song
Just make believe, but so in love
Two characters been listin' all night long
for voices from Nashville above

Two characters in search of a country song
Just make believe, but so in love
Two characters been listin' all night long
for voices from Nashville above

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE

There are two kinds of people:
a) my love and I
b) other
two kinds of people:
1) the gray
and 2) me and my love
All people fall into two camps
that ever twain shall be:
those lost in darkness without lamps,
and then,
my love and me...

UNDERWEAR


A pretty girl in her underwear
A pretty girl in her underwear
If there's anything better in this world
who cares
La mort, c'est la mort
mais l'amour, c'est l'amour
La mort, c'est seulement la mort
mais l'amour, c'est l'amour
A pretty boy in his underwear
A pretty boy in his underwear
If there's a better reason
to jump for joy
who cares....

VERY FUNNY


Everybody knows but me when you go where you shouldn't be Everybody knows
but me where you go when you're feeling free Everybody knows but me So you
go there for a laugh You just go to take photographs To believe that, I'd be
daft but yes I think you go for a laugh and you say, I love you honey Very funny

WALK A LONELY ROAD


When i was a little boy
Way out in the wood
I had neither friend nor toy
Never knew I could.

When I found this lonely road
Off I walked for good.
When I was a little boy
way out in the wood.

Walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you.
Half as lonely we will be
When we walk as two.
If the road goes straight uphill,
We'll admire the view.
walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you.

When I was a little girl
Only the lonesome plain,
I had neither pail nor pearl
Mostly wind and rain.
One day I set out along
A little winding lane,
When I was a little girl
On the lonesome plain.

Walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you.
Half as lonely we will be
When we walk as two.
If the road goes straight uphill,
We'll admire the view.
walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you.

WASHINGTON, D.C.


W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby, D.C.!
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby, D.C.!
Washington, D.C.
It's paradise to me
It's not because it is the grand old seat
Of precious freedom and democracy
No, no, no
It's not the greenery turning gold in fall
The scenery circling the Mall
It's just that's where my baby lives
That's all.
Washington D.C.!
It's the greatest place to be
It's not the cherries everywhere in bloom
It's not the way they put folks on the moon
No, no, no
It's not the spectacles and pagaentry
The thousand things you've got to see
It's just that's where my baby waits for me
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
Washington, D.C.!
It fits me to a T
It's not the people doing something real
It's not the way the springtime makes you feel
No, no, no
It ain't no famous name on a golden plaque
That keeps me that makes me ride that railroad track
It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back
It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back
