1.Fire At The Pageant

Holland's papa wouldn't stay in the ground
Dead and buried and he walked into town
Lord God, what is Ma to do?

Mama's so mad cause he muddied up his suit
Caught in a thorn bush, blowin' on a flute
Lord God, what is Ma to do?

James: 12456789Thousand
Ian: Fire, Fire at the pageant
Farley: would everybody calm down, please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

James: 12456789Thousand
Ian: Fire, Fire at the pageant
Farley: would everybody calm down, please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

If he did drive into town
Everyone would stand around, and stare
Holland's daughter would catch a glimpse
In the mirror as she clinched her hair

Holland's papa wouldn't stay in the ground
Dead and buried and he walked into town
Lord god what is Ma to do?

Mama's so mad cause she can't scare him off
Even if she's wrapped in a tablecloth
Oh Lord what is Ma to do?

James: 12456789Thousand
Ian: Fire, Fire at the pageant
Farley: would everybody calm down, please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, Calm down

James: 12456789Thousand
Ian: Fire, Fire at the pageant
Farley: would everybody calm down, please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down


2.Container Ship

I can see the container ship in the sea
I can see the container ship in the sea
I can build a home in Albany

Came around the world from old Japan
Came around the globe from old Japan
I wonder if it has a dance band

But what if pirates come
What if the pirates come
What if the pirates come
You have come


3.Honda Civic

Race, race, race and pivot
I could do that with a Honda Civic
Where do you belong,

Chase, chase, chase the girl
I could get her with a string of pearls
Where do you go, maybe Tokyo

He's got the money
To buy the blue car
He just needs a ride
To the dealership
1996

I can see my fiancee
In the passenger side
I got a bad suspicion
They're planning a Florida trip.

One, two, three kids
The handsome one's in showbiz
I've always been sort of a hotshot
From the floor

Place, place, place your bets
Better watch your mouth
I could break your neck
I'll race the nation toward Celebration

There's a confrontation
At the Wonderbread warehouse downtown
Security cameras are mounted on the gate
1998

Three shots in the windshield
Four in the passenger side
Now there's mass confusion
Clogging up the interstate

Race, race, race and pivot
I could do that with a Honda Civic


4.Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone, Oliver Stone
You really love the movies
Oh what a night for dancing with the one you love

Sunset hill, sunset hill
I really miss those parties
Oh what a life we lived then
I guess that's come and gone

But somewhere in the space
Those parties still remain
I need to find how that letters climb
I'll catch a cab from there to witness your premiere

From London's eye down Venice beach
Around the rings of Saturn
High over there my light sail
to find the shimmering dream

But somewhere in space
There's a shimmering place
I need to find how that letters climb
I'll catch a cab from there to witness your premiere

Oliver Stone, Oliver Stone
I fear your sets have vanished
Oh paradise, you're a poltergeist
A thing that no one sees

But somewhere in space
There's a shimmering place
I'm still upset at that worthless tramp
For leaving me to die on that winter night


5.Ponzi

Bowling Green is the perfect place for girls to meet boys
Don't go skipping around
Where you're not invited
The man knows how to dress
Seen him in the Wall Street press
He's a toastable philanthropist
He's the chair of the company

He takes you to Palm beach
and now your wedding's arranged
The Royal hawaiian hotel
Billions in charities
Now your mothers in tears
Pacing through the kitchen hears
Your name on the Fox Five news
and a fraud investigation

Turn on the tv, its your daughter Mrs. Kain
Turn on the tv, its your daughter Mrs. Kain
How could it end this way, never could tell
at the royal hawaiian hotel

Panama all the way to Anaheim
that's where the Giants sleep
A boy in a Bentley
A party of the political elite
Posing on the tenth hole green
Hungry for a photograph with the man of a century

Turn on the tv, it's your daughter Mr. Kain
Turn on the tv, it's your daughter Mrs. Kain
how could it end this way, never could tell
at the royal hawaiian hotel

Why did it end this way
How did it end this way, Mr Kain
How did it end this way
How did it end this way, Mr. Kain
How did it end this way, Mr. Kain
How did it end this way, Mr. Kain


6.Back In The Dancehalls

The honeymoon is over
The honeymoon is over
I'm back in the dancehalls again
Back in the dancehalls again

Kids are all so violent
Kids all so violent
I'm a fool for the latest trends
I'm a fool for the latest trend

Robitussin and an a-toy
Slow dancin' with a stranger's death
Damn, it feels good to be back again
Damn, it feels good to be back again

Girls in strange attire
I really love Richard Pryor
I don't care about anything
Smooth jazz in the evenings

In the room, you made a mess
On the floor's a cocktail dress
Oh, how it is that I was born
To die young and blow a horn

Line of K and a diet Sprite
Take my hand, let's drift through this night
Damn, it feels good to be back again
Damn, it feels good to be back again


7.Dallas

Ocean of stars, why've i gone so far?
i miss my home
i hear those engines drone
the runway is set
let's move this fucking jet, i have to go
despite all the sleet and snow

just a late night host leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
and i've never in my life felt so alone

i worked for the show
stars would come and go
i worked the lights,
i even swept some nights
but now i'm the host that's worthy of a toast
don't you agree my little honeybee

just a late night king leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
i'll be at 17th and broadway by tonight

so far away from all these wonders
even as the roulette spins
i just courted seventeen miles
came upon all winds bend
even in dreams of light
i can still hear her call through the tall grass and weeds
and i know i'll never be the same on this road to calvary

just a late night host leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
and i never in my life felt so alone
and i never in my life felt so alone


8.Cus's Catskill Gym

June 1986, place Catskill, New York
Went to the gym but he couldn't get in
Cus D'Amato told him to fight

He's a hell of a fighter
Iron Mike
Swing
Iron Mike

All my fighters call me Mr. Rooney
And holler at me, pick a bone
Coulda got you a Cus but they'll never get us
No disrespect, Mike, Cus is gone

It's time we go for the title
Iron Mike
Swing
Iron Mike

Stay away from Don King
Stay away from Don King
Stay away from Don King
Stay away, stay away

Burn down old Vegas Strip, burn down
Burn down old Cus's Gym, burn down
Daytime TV, court dates and bankruptcy
Suckle you through a maze of pay per view

Burn down old Vegas Strip, burn down
Burn down old Cus' Gym, burn down
You still gotta fight, so burn it all Kid Dynamite
Oh, Iron Mike, burn on


9.Refrain

there's a letter on the office floor
I'm off to the great kaleidoscope
just a letter and nothing more
I'm off to the great kaleidoscope

will you leave me with a kiss
though I've warned you of the mystery
in that grim northern rim

there's a swallow on your mother's lawn
I ring her doorbell til my finger broke
I asked the swallow where my love has gone
she's off to the great kaleidoscope

will my future be revealed
with the turning of a wheel
in that grim northern rim


10.Best I Ever Had

Cypress Grove
That's where I'm heading
It's way down Lexington
By the corner bar

I get off work
Around eleven
I'm sure they'll let you in
If you come in style

And I won't treat you so bad
'Cause you're the best I've ever had
Oh oh oh

Your father's gone
The famous criminal
Buried with his Pa in Illinois

His love's asleep
In a turning windmill
Laying with a wanted Iriquois

But we don't need to sleep at all
'Til the lights of Newburg fall

Saturn's bright
The kids have scattered
Half of all I own is in my fist

Tie together your sheets
Throw 'em out your window
And meet me where the ocean meets the cliff

Just like Joseph Kennedy
We'll explode into the sea
Oh oh oh


11.River Jordan

river jordan, won't you wake my pharoah
so he can teach my people
to walk the straight and narrow

come lie beside me
in a horse drawn carriage
drug through the thorns
past the morgue, past the parish

oh lord i wanna go
back to the land that i once knew
far past these fields of bloody snow
back to the sand
back to the sand
back home again

fuck the news
fuck the house of blues
fuck my whole career
you don't want me here

let me know
where my love ones go
it's not fair to keep it hid
tell me what i did
take me back
to when the world was black
before the sun was made
a picnic in the shade

oh lord, oh lord, i wanna go
back to the land i once knew
far past these fields of bloody snow
back to the sand
back to the sand
back home again
