"Stop!"

Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed that night

In a big block dodge
It was two lanes wide
We wrestled with the heat and let the radio drive
There was something in the air
More deadly than fire
I picked up the key, the hotel clerk knew I lied

He said, stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down

Everybody see what's going down

It was a night I will forget
And I don't remember why
All she was wearin' was something I'd seen
From a late night show on cable TV
Where'd the ring go, that he got you
Would he know the way you felt
It's just one fling, before the bells ring
Don't hit below the belt

Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be running from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon

It is a night you may regret
Just don't ask me why
Bless me father for I have sinned

Can you get me out of this mess I'm in

Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed bye bye
Where's the time go, where's the love go
When you live out a fantasy
The sun will shine, you can brush it off
And say it never happened to me

Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be runnin' from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon.

"Courtney"

Everyone's gonna look at me, confounded by my decency
I've got no tales of personal tragedy
Everyone's gonna know my name, they'll talk about my new found fame
Alluding to my functional family

She said she liked a simple melody
She brought me onstage for a bow
I stood there laughing all I said was wow

Courtney loves me now

Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show
They're taking bets on when I'm history
All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings
And how that car phone's an absolute necessity

She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek
She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be
Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur

Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band
She whispers playfully you can open up for me
Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load
And laugh about our plans they're history

She said she liked the way I licked her feet
She brought me upstairs, showed me how
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Courtney loves me now

Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show
They're taking bets on when I'm history
All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings
And how that car phone's an absolute necessity

She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek
She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be
Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur

Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band

Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load
And laugh about our plans they're history

She said she liked the way I licked her feet
She brought me upstairs, showed me how
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

"Mercury"

Leave for the country let the day begin
I carry my share of original sin
I'm writing you a letter from a telephone
Sign it messenger man in the great unknown

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Swim up the river to the cedar trees
Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
Bicycle trail only runs so far

This is a place you can't get by car

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they're growing star to star

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

This is a place you can't get by car

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they're growing star to star

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

"Rain"

Well we've all been through it, thinking times are tough
And I'll see you through it, when you've had enough
And I'll be beside you, many feelings the same
Give back the ruin, give back the rain

Well we've both felt lovely, things are going our way
May you rise above me, may you have your day
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain

And you know it's the only bridge I know that's still above water
I'm praying my insurance is gonna pay
And you know it's the only road I know that's still above wa
