Hanging On The Telephone

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall.
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall.
I know he's there, but I just had to call.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door.
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore.
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long.
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong.
I want to tell you something you've known all along.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation.
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation.
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection.
Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
Hang up and run to me! Oh!

Picture This

All I want is a room with a view.
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you.
All I want is a room with a view, oh...
I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you shower.
I will give you my finest hour, oh, yeah.
All I want is a photo in my wallet.
A small remembrance of something more solid.
All I want is a picture of you.
Picture this - a day in December.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh, yeah.
All I want is 20/20 vision.
A total portrait with no omissions.
All I want is a vision of you, oh...
If you can,
Picture this - a day in December.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what I'm telling you.
Get a pocket computer, try to do what ya used to do, yeah.

Fade Away And Radiate

Ooh baby, I hear how you spend nighttime:
Wrapped like candy in a blue blue neon glow.
Fade away and radiate.
Ooh baby, watchful lines vibrate soft in brainwave time.
Silver pictures move so slow.
Golden tubes faintly glow.
Electric faces seem to merge.
Hidden voices mock your words.
The beams become my dream.
My dream is on the screen.
Dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955.

Pretty Baby

Stars live in the evening, but the very young need the sun.
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly.
A neo nebula from under the sun.
I was forming, some say I had my chance.
The boys were falling like an avalanche.
Ya ya baby, "La Dolce Vita" is a magic dance.
No one was listening.
Pretty baby, petite ingenue, teenage starlet, I fell in love with you.
You, you with the comb... you look ok in every way.
Ah... I, I should have known you'd look at me and look away, oh.
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly.
A neo nebula from under the sun.
Eyes that tell me "incense and peppermints".
Your looks are larger than life.
Long live innocence.
Petite ingenue, I fell in love with you.

I Know But I Don't Know

"Hey, y'know?"
"Uh, I dunno."
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
I give but I don't get.
I will but I won't yet.
I lose but I don't bet.
I'm your dog but not your pet.
Now I know but I don't care.
Then I know but I don't see.
Now I see but I don't know.
I care but I don't care.
I could but I won't be.
You can but not with me.
It's all a mystery.
Locked out without a key.
Now I care but I don't care.
And I know but I don't see.
Now I see but I don't know.
I know but I don't know.
Now I know that you don't know.
And I see that you don't see.
I care but I don't care.
I don't care that you don't know.

11:59

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax.
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten.
Time is running out.
Lock up all your memories.
Get outa here, you know that we can run.
Today can last another million years.
Today could be the end of me.
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive.
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night.
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean.
Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand.
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean.
We can run.
Today can last another million years.
Today could be the end of me.
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive.
Hanging on a frequency, burning like a fire.
Boy, you've got the motion down.
It's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control.
Don't leave me here.
Time is running out.
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean.
We can run.
Today can last another million years.
Today could be the end of me.
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive.

Will Anything Happen?

I always said you could make it.
I know what I said and I meant it.
I always liked the way you played guitar.
I always knew that someday you'd go far.
And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
You said you'd be through here again.
Please don't forget I'm here waiting.
You always said that you would never change like the people
that you've met and the places that you've been.
And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
I always said you could make it.
Just don't forget that I said it.
Cause I always liked the way you played guitar
and I always knew that someday you'd go far.
And if you do will anything happen?
will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
And if I do, will anything happen?

Sunday Girl

I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
Dry your eyes, sunday girl.
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide, sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still I wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd.
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.
Live in dreams, sunday girl.
"Baby, I would like to go out tonight".
"If I go with you my folks'll get uptight".
Stay at home, sunday girl.
When I saw you again in the summer time,
if your love was as sweet as mine,
I could be sunday's girl.

Heart of Glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
Once I had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out I was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
In between "what I find is pleasing" and "I'm feeling fine", love is so confusing.
There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you.
It's just no good, you teasing like you do.
Lost inside.
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide.
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside.
We coulda made it cruising, yeah.
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light.
Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.
Seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.

Just Go Away

Oh, don't ya know?
Don't wanna see ya any more.
Put up or shut up.
Ya spell, ya read, D.O.O.R.
Ya got a big mouth and I'm happy to see your foot
is firmly entrenched where a molar should be.
If you talk much louder you could get an award
from the federal communications board.
Don't be cruel.
Be a thing - sweet thing as a rule.
Don't be sad.
I left you in the street.
You're pre-fab.
I had to get away.
Don't go away sad.
Don't go pre-fab.

A mad hatter's beret.

Don't go away sad.
