XYLOPHONE TRACK


To my dear,dear mother
I leave myonly shoes
To my dear, dear mother
I leave my only shoes
By the time you read this
I will have died of the blues
Scream little choo-choo
Bang your xylophone track
You can wail all night long
but you can't bring her back
I've done so much crying
the flesh has left my bones
I've done so much crying
the flesh has left my bones
I can play my ribcage
like a xylophone

YEAH! OH, YEAH!


Are you out of love with me?
Are you longing to be free?
Do I drive you up a tree?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Do I drive you up the wall?
Do you dread every phone call?
Can you not stand me at all?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Though I need you more than air
is it true you just don't care?
Are you having an affair?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
When we met I thought
money was everything
so I let you buy the house,
the car, the ring
but I can't take your perpetual whining
and you can't sing
I though if we live apart
we could made a brand-new start
Do you want to break my heart?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
I've enjoyed making you
miserable for years
found peace of mind in
playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold
and silver tears, but now my dear
What a dark and dreary life
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Of, I die, I die, I die!
So it's over, you and I
Was my whole life just a lie?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!

YOU AND ME AND THE MOON


Brian Wilson 1960 and vine
Summer kisses
In a pendleton shirt
Songs and gentle words
Granted wishes

When I look in your eyes I go soft inside
And the sound of your voice sends
Shivers up my spine
And at the slightest touch we're in love
You and me and the moon

In a cool gay bar where the people are entertaining
When the sun pops in we'll still be talking and champagning

Underneath the strobe light
We'll dance all night
I'm a little bit shy, you're easy on the eye
And at the slightest touch we're in love
You and me and the moon

When you look in my eyes I go soft inside
And the sound of your voice sends
Shivers up my spine
And at the slightest touch we're in love
You and me and the moon

YOU LOVE TO FAIL


Maybe tomorrow I'll see love in your eyes and mine will
dry
Maybe tomorrow we can learn how to fly on these nasty
little wings
(C): And I wanna take you out but you always refuse
'cause you only play the games that you know you can lose
You love to fail, that's all you love.
We don't know why you've been gone
Somebody said you're on the run
You're living where wild horses run
Well, hey, whatever turns you on. (C)
I'll be your confidante
Come and go as you please
I'll honor and protect my Wagner in dungarees. (C) (C)

YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND


you think I'll run not walk to you
why would I want to talk to you?
I want you crawling back to me,
down on your knees yeah
like an appendectomy
sans anaesthesia

you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

you want what you turned off, turned on
you called it (at?) sunset, now it's dawn
you can't go 'round just saying stuff
because it's pretty
and I no longer drink enough
to think you're witty

you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

you want to kindle that old flame
I don't remember your real name
it must be something scandalous,
lurks in your shadows
if you needed santa claus
to buy your gallows (almost certain that's wrong but no idea what he says otherwise)

you think you can leave the past behind
you must be out of your mind
you think you can simply press rewind
you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

you must be out of your mind, son
you must be out of your mind.

YOU'RE MY ONLY HOME


I will stay if you let me stay and I'll go if you let go but I won't go far
away because you're my only home I will hide what you want hidden and I'll
roam if you say roam but I'd just as soon you didn't because you're my only
home When you cancel dinner plans When you cross the street and you don't
take my hand When you make impossible demands I wish I didn't understand, but...

ZEBRA


So we got married in Venice in June
So what?
We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon
So what?
and the rest of our lives
is one long honeymoon
well, that doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
you'd buy me a beautiful pearl
but you've already bought me
all of the pearls in the world
so there's one thing I crave
when my days become ho-hum and blah
I want a zebra
We've got so many tchotchkes
we've pratically emptied the Louvre
In most of our palaces
there's hardly room to manoeuvre
I shan't go to Balie today
I must stay home and Hoovre
up the gold dust
That doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
you'd buy me the Great Pyramid
Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did
But there's one think I need
if you won't think I'm greedy, my deah
another zebra
Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra

ZOMBIE BOY


Two roosters I slew
and with all of my might
I prayed, hard, for you
in Haiti at night
Your skin has turned blue
and your hair has turned white
Must be the voodoo
of this Haitian moonlight

We can't take day trips
but Oh! those moonlight strolls
dressed up in silk slips,
high heels and mink stoles
You swivel your hips
as I work the controls
No blood ever drips
when I widen your holes

zombie boy...

You seem to have died
of some form of the pox
They left you inside
your tiny black box
I heard when you cried
and I answered your knocks
Let's make you a bride
with another two cocks

You look pretty pure
for so long in the ground
You smell like a sewer
but you don't make a sound
I feed you ordure
to keep Poopsie spellbound
I like to be sure
you'll be sticking around

zombie boy...
