Mr. Palmer is concerned with the thousand dollar question
Just like Roger he's a crazy little kid
I've got the time if you've got the inclination
So cheer up Palmer, you'll soon be dead

The noose is hanging, at least you won't die wondering
Sit up and take notice Tell it like it is
If I were near you I wouldn't be far from you
I've got a feeling you know what you did

Time to put your money where your mouth is
Put 'em in a field and let 'em fight it out
I'm running so fast my feet don't touch the ground
I'm a stranger here I'm going down

Let's get down to the nitty gritty
Let's get this show on the road
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
I'm breathing hard - open the door

Brain dead, and made of money
No future at all
Pull down the blinds and run for cover
No future at all

Who would've thought it, that's where I am
No future at all
Don't sweat it, that's where I am
Whoa, carry me down, down, down, down

By that night, news of Palmer's death had traveled back to the
camp. Spirits were low and Colonel Forbin felt devastated. Even
though he had only been in Gamehendge for one day, he had
already developed a deep hatred for Wilson. He wanted
desperately to help the revolutionaries, but without Palmer, it
seemed hopeless. He wandered slowly through the camp and passed
Errand Wolfe, sitting by the fire with Rutherford, who had
returned that afternoon. He walked on and soon found himself
outside of Tela's hut. Forbin knocked and walked in. Tela sat
behind a makeshift desk in the center of a room that was
littered with small cages containing spotted stripers, a tiny
three-legged breed of animal. The unit monster sat in the
corner. The colonel took a step toward Tela and spoke. 'I needed
to come here tonight' he said, 'to tell you that I've fallen in
love with you.' He looked to her eyes for approval but her face
remained frozen in an expressionless stare. An awkward blanket
of silence fell over the room and hung for a long moment before
being shattered by the sound of the door swinging violently
open. It was Rutherford the Brave. The ironclad knight rushed
across the room and gripped the throats of Tela and the unit
monster in each of his mighty hands. They struggled to break
free but even the unit monster was no match for Rutherford's
power and soon it was over. The bodies fell to the floor in a
lifeless heap. Colonel Forbin stepped forward from where he
stood in the corner unable to contain his confusion and rage and
screamed 'WHY?' His question was answered by Errand Wolfe who
had quietly slipped through the doorway during the confusion.
'She was a spy,' he said, and explained to Forbin that she had
been sending information to Wilson using the spotted stripers as
carriers. Roger's death had aroused his suspicion, and Palmer's
had confirmed it. The colonel stood in silence in a world that
had turned up-side-down so many times that he no longer knew
which way was up. It had all seemed so simple when he first
arrived. Good versus evil, and of course he had sided with good
as he had done all his life. And now, he stood and stared into
the eyes of Errand Wolfe and he saw evil. The entire picture
began to seem like an enormous puzzle with one piece missing,
and the colonel knew what that piece was. 'Within twenty-four
hours,' he said to Errand Wolfe, 'You will have the Helping
Friendly Book.' And even as the words were leaving his lips, he
found himself running out the door and into the forest, not
towards Prussia, but toward the great mountain looming in the
distance.

3.Jesus Just Left Chicago

Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Hey hey
Workin' from one end to the other
And all points in between

Took a drive through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine
Took a drive through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine
Hey hey
Went out to California
Through the points and through the pines

You might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same
Might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same
Hey hey
Don't have to worry about nothin'
'Cuz takin' care of business is His name

Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Hey hey
Workin' from one end to the other
And all points in between

Thanks everyone!
This is a very cool room, I don't know how many of you
Were here last time, but...it's good to be back
What's that?
Sounds good, Mike!! Sounds great, Mike!!!

Thank you man! Thank you.. OK.... Mike?
He likes the way it sounds!
I know!


4.My Mind's Got A Mind Of His Own

My mind's got a mind of its own
It takes me out a walkin' when I'd rather stay at home
Takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone
My mind's got a mind of its own

I've been doing things I thought I'd never do
I've been getting into trouble without ever meaning to
I'd as soon settle down but I'm right back up again
I feel just like a leaf out in the wind.

(chorus)

I seem to forget half the things I start
I try to build a house and then I tear the place apart
I freeze myself on fire and then I burn myself on ice
I can't count to one without thinking twice

(chorus)

I tell myself to do the things I should
And then I get to thinkin' that them things ain't any good.
I tell myself the truth but know I'm lying like a snake
You can't walk on water at the bottom of a lake.


5.It's Ice

I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice
The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice
While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my
choice

Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask
I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask
None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in
I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin

He's fallen on the ice, it cracks
Will he plunge in and join me here?
He meets my eyes, to my surprise
He laughs in full light of my frown
My double wants to pull me down

Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone
The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own
I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul
He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control

And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time
He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine
Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights
Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.


6.Swept Away

Much ado is all I see
And feel like it's surrounding me
The crowd intrudes all day
'Til I'm finally swept away

I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away


7.Steep

Much ado is all I see
(although my roots were deep)
In fact it is surrounding me
The seething crowd intrudes all day
(I sank in hillsides deep)
Until I'm finally swept away

Although I thought my roots were deep
(the rivers that erode)
I sank them into hillsides steep
And riverbanks that soon erode
(and canyons overflow)
And canyons that have overflowed


8.It's Ice

I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice
The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice
While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my
choice

Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask
I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask
None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in
I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin

He's fallen on the ice, it cracks
Will he plunge in and join me here?
He meets my eyes, to my surprise
He laughs in full light of my frown
My double wants to pull me down

Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone
The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own
I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul
He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control

And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time
He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine
Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights
Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.


9.Theme From The Bottom

I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top
I live upon morsels you happen to drop
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up
On the way upwards, the colors come back
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
And the night seems to go on incredibly long

So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything you'd like to try?

Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
Jumbled events that have less than no worth
Time in the forest to dig under rocks
Or float in the ocean asleep in a box

Or sink just below all the churning and froth
And swim to the light source or fly like a moth
So toss away stuff you don't need in the end
But keep what's important and know who's your friend

So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?

If I'm swimming by


10.Tube

An asteroid crashed and nothing burned
It made me wonder
Do tigers sleep in lily patches?
Do rhinos run from thunder.
I got an ache in my left ear
I felt a twinge but I still could hear.
Made me think, I would not be burned,
but rather give myself to science,
I felt that I could help
To science, I felt that I can help

Paranoid the doctor ran,
Shouting his graphic translation
A fortnight of horror,
Gang wars and hails of wretches
Spewing forth their color
He purposely waited till I was done
To knock on the lavatory door
Accusing me of ruining the fun,
He knocked on it some more
The fun, He knocked on it some more.

An orange soon is raw inside
An apple or a grape
To put forth a cloud of Mercury
If run over by a car
On a freeway in Los Angeles
Once the spraying has been done
It's a sport made from necessity
You're a portrait of your past,
There's a mummy in the cabinet.
Are there no more arrows left?

What's that rubber bottle doing here?
How's that napkin for a roof
Ten cents to a dollar now
For a shelf of pregnant hens...

Robert Palmer is a plore
Begansa, gansa, gansa
So stupendous, living in this tube.

12.Slave To The Traffic Light

Slave to the traffic light
Slave
See the city, see the zoo
Traffic light won't let me through


13.Timber

I'm gonna pull this timber `fore the sun go down
Get it `cross the river `fore the bars come down
Drag it on down that dusty road
Come on Jerry, let's dump this load

I said 'Timber, ho!', timber, woah this timber's gotta roll
I said 'Timber, ho!', timber, woah this timber's gotta roll

My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule
Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two
Done everything a poor mule can do

(chorus)

Jerry's shoulders stood six foot tall
Pulled more timber than a freight could haul
Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore
Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more

(chorus)

The boss said 'Jerry' and it made him jump
Jerry ran and kicked the boss on the rump
My old Jerry was a cool mule
Had it been me I woulda killed that fool
Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head
Jerry took that bullet and he stomped him dead
Stomped that boss til he heard him scream
Sure don't care he was so damn mean

(chorus 2x)


14.Wolfman's Brother

Well it was many years ago now
But I really can't be sure
That's when it all began then
I heard that knock upon my door

And the wolfman's brother
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me

The telephone was ringing
That's when I handed it to Liz
She said, 'This isn't who it would be,
If it wasn't who it is'

It's the wolfman's brother,
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me

So I might be on a side street
Or a stairway to the stars
I hear the high pitched cavitation
Of propellers from afar

It's the wolfman's brother...
Come down on me

So with meaningless excitement
And smooth atonal sound
It's like a cross between a hurricane
And a ship that's run aground

It's the wolfman's brother
Coming down on - coming down on me


15.Boogie On Reggae Woman

I like to see you movin' right accross the floor
I like to do it to you 'til you holler for more
I like to reggae but you're much too fast for me
I like to make love to you, you can make me scream

So boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with you?
Boogie on reggae woman
What you trying to do?

I like to see you fall deep in love
I like to see you under the stars above
I like to see both of you fall deep in love
I like to see you in the raw under the stars above

So boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with you?
Boogie on reggae woman
What you trying to do?

Boogie on reggae woman
What you trying to do?
Boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with you?


16.Reba

Reba sink a boulder in the water
Reba tie a cable to a tree
Reba stuck in a game of lipstick perfume flypaper
Reba press a razor to a slide cross a needle with a prune

Knee deep in the motel tub
Reba dangle ladle form her lip
dip
sip
Reba babble to the nag with the lipstick perfume
mutter to a farmer in a truck

Take a peek at the cheetah, Reba
cheetah on the prowl in a cage
sink a boulder in the water
tie a cable to a tree

Mutter 'nature' to the nag
with the lipstick perfume
Reba flush a fleshfarm leftover
thunder in a circle
down the pipes

Bag it
Tag it
Sell it to the butcher in the store

Reba put a stopper in the bottom of the tub
picked up a jar unscrewed the top
and watched it drop into the water

A little scoop of plaster mix
some coffee grounds and mud
and then she stirred it with the ladle
that her Grandmother had bought her
threw in a pot of melted wax
a forefoot and a hoof
apple core, worms galore
and a can of some corrosive

coconuts and chloroform
some wicker and some cork
Toxic waste, some purple paste
she hoped was not explosive

Reba dip a ladle for a taste of her creation
and she knew that what she make
would be the finest in the nation


17.Guyute

Guyute was the ugly pig
Who walked on me and danced a jig
That he had learned when he was six
Then stopped and did some other tricks

Like pulling weapons from his coat
And holding them against my throat
He lectured me in language strange
And scampered quickly out of range

I'm bouncing like a newborn elf
I can't remain inside myself
Guyute glances in my eyes
And manages to hypnotize

Me as I sleep the sleep of death
He sucks from me my only breath
That I had breathed since I was ten
I hope this happens once again


18.Possum

I come from atop the mountain baby
Where the people come to pray
I come from atop the mountain baby
Where the people come to pray
There ain't no truth in action
'Less you believe it anyway

I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
The road was his end
His end was the road
So they say

Whoa possum...
possum, possum...
POSSUM
Whoa possum...
possum, possum...
POSSUM
Whoa possum, possum
Your end is the road

I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
The road was his end
His end was the road
So they say

Whoa possum...
possum, possum...
POSSUM
Whoa possum...
possum, possum...
POSSUM
Whoa possum,
Your end is the road
Whoa possum, possum
Your end is the road
