1.Bad Harmony

We don't know what we're talking about
That's just words in our libretto
I don't know if the sum of our stretto will end up a terrible
shout
We left the ground and we floated above this town that never got
better
We got drowned in the sea of love and i know that it's gonna get
wetter
We're like bad harmony
We're like bad harmony
We're a couple of wannabees who do not know what they are doing
we're like bad harmony
We're like bad harmony
We are good compnay going down the road to ruin i hope we will
better
I hope we will better
I hope we will better


2.I Switched You

I was alone in my big bed those lonely nights i tried to reach
you
Your putting me on
Messed with my head but have you heard i'm going to teach you
You will find out that you miss my lovin' ways
But don't you know i switched you-switched you
I switched you
I switched you
I switched you
I hear that sound
That clickety-clack
That train returning who bewtiched me
Now you're around you want to come right back
Forget about the way you ditched me
Now you found out that you miss my lovin' ways
But don't you know i switched you-switched you
Now you found out that you miss my lovin' ways
But don't you know i switched you-switched you
Messed my head messed my head
Why you going putting me why you going putting me why you going
putting me on?
T-t-t-tell me why


3.Western Star

Sun she burns mean and big i think i'll go to cafe noir
Big screen turns me on i'm gonna be your western star
How hard can it be?
I get my freon bingo inside your cool soft sarong
Rolling on the moquette inside a cul-de-sac kampong
How hard can it be?
How hard can it be when you're a western star?
Shining and free don't you know that a star burns best?
How hard can it be?
I said now how hard can it be?
She's so sentimental she's got my picture in her head
The tool-man is in her dreams
I was lifted when she said how hard can it be?
And now he's headed skyward standing up on piles of plywood
And all he thinks about is how he looks like heroes-period bowie
And his figure blocks the light
And he takes away the night
And he's dancing to the new bolero
You soy un pistolero i'm not shakin' in my boots
I'm ruler of this moon boy so if you move i shoots
How hard can it be?


4.Tiny Heart

You are a fine exception
And now i do not know what to do
There is no use in-uh capturing me
Though i know that you easily could
I do not mind if you laugh at me
Just don't misunderstand where you stood
I don't believe in the art so i'm-uh just telling you
There's not a part inside of me you could call a heart
There isn't any part of me with a little heart
(little heart)
I have got such a tiny heart
(little heart)
You could say that i don't have one
(little heart)
It's true
I think that everything is a fad i know that is a negative view
I think all love is-us gonna turn bad and now i do not know what
to do
Because the moment you start it that is when you are through
(little heart)
You are a fine exception
(little heart)
And i have got such a tiny heart
(little heart)
It's true


5.You're Such A Wire

Why do you hate me?
Why don't you just simmer down?
You could be doing great things
Instead of just pushing me around
Or maybe just be sleeping
Even you at times must get tired
You're such a wire
You're such a wire look at you
You're such a wire look at you packing it blasting it
You're such a wire
The world it looks so big but it feels so small
I'm snapping like a twig in this dried up dying fall
I think the winter is gonna be a real whirligig
Why do i hate you?
That's because i am full of it
If all your dreams came ture then you must be completely full of
it
You won't catch me weeping 'cause you know that i'm not a crier
I'm such a wire
I'm such a wire look at me
I'm such a wire look at me packing it blasting it
I'm such a wire


6.I Love Your Brain

He was hurting for the answers
He was serving up the questions
He was searching for a guru he was lucky that he knew you
When i saw your fine physique i was into you like a train
And i love it when you speak you're so urbane
Oh, i love your brain
Yes, i love your brain
Ooh, i love your brain
I'm gonna say it again
Love your brain
It's a beautiful brain
I wanna be with your brain
I wanna sleep with your brain

She was looking like a roman
She was cooking it with fire
She was talking right to me
And i couldn't unglue me
Though i am no duke of earl you are my chatelaine
I love the way the world drives you insane


7.Billy Radcliff

Billy radcliffe didn't go to town and when he looked up he was
really looking down catching blue in his eyes that were brown
billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe owned by the state from his first breath to the
cemetery gate he was the first boy born in space billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe very first one he really had lived just a cursed
son a split in half man sang the cherubim billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe saw what the devil man saw a spot of blue in the
black of the eye of the lord such a cruel love is the kind that
has wrought billy radcliffe
Billy sadly didn't live long he had to stay there because he
wasn't too strong he's stepping out the door blowing up like a
bomb billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe very first one really a hatched man a light
switch son a split in half man sang the cherubim i bet you cried
when he died now didja, now didja?
Now billy radcliffe saw what the devil man saw a spot of blue in
the black of the eye of the lord now billy radcliffe saw what
the devil had and i feel very bad for william radcliffe


8.Smoke Up

Stone was in me when i was rougher
Now my power has suffered in this hour
Of my oversleep alone with the beast and my skull choppers
Now i'm just a name dropper
And i'm bust in these deep slumberweeds
Stone was in me

It's so damn late
It's so damn dark
Pull up those drapes
Hey, let's see just where we are here it comes

I finally woke up
That's right
'cause i've got to make something work out
I sent some smoke up
That's right
'cause i've got to make something work out
That's right
I've got to make something work out
That's right
I've got to make something work out


9.So Hard To Make Things Out

I'm going out to big plains
To see the spirits rise
Out tonight to watch them do their thing
If you're coming out with big plans
To find some paradise
Well, there's nothing here to do but limboing
And some went back
They couldn't face the black
And they're going back today with their personal things
I couldn't go back
I didn't have the knack
So i'll be staying on with my personal things
Yeah, i'll be staying on with my personal things

Well they call this a life i live on the ninety-sixth floor
And they all it a life he lives that's they guy next door
Life on the mighty brick tiers
I tried on the ninety-sixth floor
Mighty brick tiers
Ninety-sixth floor
Something had to give

Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out
Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to make things out
Why is it so hard to live? it's just so hard to mkae things out
Why is it so hard to live?

Well i have a suggestion as you bark your querying
Well there ain't no congestion on a dark hyperion
In the night night night night night
In the night night night night night
No congestion
Dark hyperion
Why why why why

Well i'll tell you my philosophy things must've been grand
Way back in the old country in a younger land
Now i can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait to see them rise
Now i can hardly wait yeah for it to materialize
Now i can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait to see them rise
They're so hard to make out
They're so hard to make out

11.I Think I'm Starting To Lose It

Everybody got something to say and they're coming on strong like
a smooth operator
Everybody got something to say but i'll be moving along and i'll
see you all later

Logos is on the perch
I got some heaven in my head
Chaos is just a quirk
I got some heaven in my head
Pathos is-a starting to hurt
I got some heaven in my head
Mythos is-a gumming the works
I got some heaven in my head

I think i'm starting to lose it
I think i'm starting to lose it
I think i'm starting to lose it

Chaos is on the perch
I got some heaven in my head
Pathos is-a starting to hurt
I got some heaven in my head
Mythos is-a gumming up the works
I got some heaven in my head


12.I Want Rock & Roll

I want to go back to fifty-five
Ten before i was burned alive
There ain't no use in a stupid dream
My head is tired from this enthymeme

I want to hear the holy ramage
I don't mind a little ear damage
Henry sloane in my soca soul
I'm not ashamed to say i want rock & roll

I'd like to hear some cubby checker
Crush my heart with desmond dekker
Little itty bitty of freddy fender
Start me up return to sender

I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
I want to go back to fify-five
Ten before i was burned alive
The world can be so very cold
Nothing to say except i want rock & roll
If you're going to san francisco
Just remember it all is disco


13.Skeleton Man

I'm a skeleton i'm a skeleton man
Hold my skeleton hold my skeleton hand
I met a child in the hills from the people of the corn
It's been 800 years since this child was born
And in his ribs i found a pearl
An offering from the corn world

Hold my hand
We'll walk in the hot sun
Hold my hand
In the hot sand
Down in the valley where there used to be the farms
Doctor digger found a room full of arms
And now there's just a dog that barks
Chained to a one-man trailer park


14.So. Bay

On the sidewalk the shitty sidewalk
I guess i'm gald rolling off of my feet
On the sidewalk the shitty sidewalk
Some noisy guy is saying something to me

I roll a straight line
On the buss line
Naked behind a painted line
Over train tracks
Over beer cans
Over blacktop soft beneath the sun

By the buildings now
By the liquor store
I'm going inside gonna get me a coke
It's end of work time
Down at the liquor store
Guys cashing their checks trying to buy coke

On the sidwalk the shitty sidewalk
I guess i'm gald rolling off of my feet

It's almost night and i just might
Head to the strand down by the sea
Down at the edge
Edge of the world
That's where i really want to be
And if i'm broke then i will cope
Just rolling around is fine with me
Just rolling around is fine with me
Just rolling around is fine with me
