I set my hand to writing you... it drifted off the page.
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake...
I haven't ate in days.
For unspoken value, aesthetic, and charm,
I'd smile at you sideways,
But the lighting is wrong.
I'm taking a picture, and counting the cost,
while the bells in my ears keep ringing.
I set my hand to writing you... it drifted of the page.
I nearly fell, I feel like a lowlife in hell
and I haven't slept in days and days, days and days...
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2,
play to the posters on the wall of my room.
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you...
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
In my ear bells are ringing.

Denis

Oh Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis doo-be-do, I'm in love with you.
Denis Denis, oh with your eyes so blue...
Denis Denis, I've got a crush on you.
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you.
Oh when we walk it always feels so nice,
and when we talk it seems like paradise.
Denis Denis I'm so in love with you.
You're my king and I'm in heaven
every time I look at you!
When you smile it's like a dream...
And I'm so lucky 'cause I found a boy like you!
(Denis Denis, oh won't you hold me tight?
Denis Denis, please can we kiss all night?
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you.)
Denis Denis, avec tes yeux si bleux,
(With your eyes so blue,)
Denis Denis, moi j'ai flashe a nous deux.
(I'm always thinking about us.)
Denis Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite.
(One deep kiss that will last for ever.)
Denis Denis, je suis si folle de toi.
(I'm so crazy about you.)
Denis Denis, oh embrasse-moi ce soir.
(Please kiss me tonight.)
Denis Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite.
(One deep kiss that will last all night.)

Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45)

Flight 45 was last seen alive on the runway,
leaving for some fun in the hot tropic sun (back next monday).
And our friends are at the airport...
Cousin Bill says, "enjoy the water sports".
As we fly into the mystery the film comes on and the Earth recedes.
Several hours out - 20 minutes south of Bermuda.
The communication's gone - something has to be so wrong.
And it must be Jesus calling...
The silver ship, the blue sea falling.
Death was in that poison wave and in it's gulf a fitting grave.
The coast guard said they might be found...
They know just where the plane went down.

Youth Nabbed As Sniper

Don't look in here, yeah.
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass,
his inner self glued to his .22.
Dirty metal in the speed of night,
lights and broken glass.
My heart can destroy all I see.
Moving streets all make me lonely!
Come to me and be mine only.
I can hide us far from sight,
but you must wait and I must fight this nothingness.
Walls, I see my little room...
I hear my parent's friends.
I hope that my actions make amends!
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how...
Here I lie so high above the crowd.
Busy streets all make me lonely!
Come to me and be mine only.
I can move us through the night,
but you must wait and I must fight this emptiness.
Black top burns with silent screams.
Others stop my dreams.
Lightning Crash! Crash! Crash!
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool.
I died in the evening after school.
Be mine only.
Be my own.
Be mine only.
Be my own.

Contact In Red Square

1 2 3 4
Although I'm young I got a job to do.
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe.
Call it a business trip.
Got to hide inside my trenchcoat and be clever .
I got my papers and a cyanide pill.
My polaroid's a taser in disguise.
There's a base in the hills,
and the wheat fields looks like Kansas in November.
Astrovia, sweet comrade, your nation is your gun.
Your love reads like the broken code you sent me.
One last contact in red square,
unless I have to run and the long arms of the K.G.B. detect me.
Can't trust a soul, secret messenger,
just the rules that lie like circuits in your brain and a cool .45.
The wind is ice and foreign air tastes strange.
I.C.B.M.
Bang! Bang! You're dead!
No one left to worry.
Kiss me quick, now I have to hurry.
Our last contact in red square,
unless I have to run
and the long arms of the C.I.A. detect me.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!

(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear

Was it destiny?
I don't know yet.
Was it just by chance?
Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear,
now I'm always touched by your presence, dear.
When we play at cards you use an extra sense.
(It's really not cheating)
You can read my hand, I've got no defense.
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear,
I am always touched by your presence, dear.
Floating pass the evidence of possibilities.
We could navigate together,psychic frequencies.
Coming into contact with outer entities.
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.
Stay awake at night and count your R.E.M.'s
when you're talking with your super friends.
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence, dear.
I am still in touch with your presence,
dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.

I'm On E

I'm on E.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
Got nothin' to say.
I used to have a car of my own.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
I'm on E for England.
Laid out for maybe a week.
I've walked my feet to the bone.
I'd give my life for a car of my own.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
Two weeks ago saturday I was on TV.
I'd like a show of my own.
But you see I'm still on E even though
everything is happening to me.
So when your drivin' on home don't regret your loan.
I'm on E.
I'm on E.
I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie.
I feel like gassin' my feet.
They've totalled (?) and skipped a beat.
I used to have a car of my own.
28 or 58.
Walking to refrigerator.
To the pump, do the bump.
Still on E, I'll think of something.
I'm on E and I'm on E.
I'll never have to stop my feet.
28 or 58.
Walking to refrigerator.
To the pump, do the bump.
Still on E, I'll think of something.
I'm on E and I'm on E.
I'll never have to fill my feet up.

I Didn't Have The Nerve To Say No

You got ants in your pants.
I don't understand.
I don't trust the flick of your eyes.
You're a viper and love's a fever.
You said something profane
and went for a vein but
in spite of your "delicate touch",
I should have known as much: I'm a bleeder.
I didn't have the nerve to say no.
I didn't have the nerve to say no.
You caught me surprised and my will resigned.
Torture the minds of them all.
You're a brain drain, you'd better beat it.
I'm following lines.
The blind leads the blind.
So hang me or grant me a stay.
You better cut me loose or hand me a noose.
There's no end to the problem of a bad situation.
Complication.
No, no, no, no, ah.
There's no end to the problem and frustration.
I need a vacation.
No, no, no, no, ah.
And I know I couldn't.
And I know that I couldn't say no.

Love At The Pier

We fell in love down at the pier.
You were sunbathing, I was around.
Soon we were sharing a beer.
We fell in love at the pier.
I'm no sentimental slob so don't think I'm queer .
You got somethin' baby, and it ain't just my beer.
Well, maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat,
or was it the sneakers you kicked of your feet?
I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin.
You tanned your oily body looking like sin.
Well, soon I was sweatin' and I wanted to leave.
You slipped into the water from to much grease.
Well, I saw you yelling.
I just couldn't hear,
so I screamed back at ya "Honey keep the beer!"
We never consummated our outside love affair.
Too much tar and water.
Too much hot air.
Oh, what a tragic end to love that was lost.
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost, but...
We fell in love down at pier.
You were sunbathing, I was around.
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend.
No more love splinters in my rear end.

No Imagination

Eyes that tell me "baby, you don't need no invitation".
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move.
I can see me in the morning; losing my direction,
deep inside my overcoat, looking for the door.
I don't wanna stay with you.
I just wanna play with you.
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead.
You think you're pretty, well, so do I.
You came to me but, passion eyes,
got no imagination to clutter up my head.
Eyes that mirror innocence and cannot sense the changes.
Lets have another drink, dear, before we get deranged.
I can see me in the morning; avoiding your detection,
slowly down the staircase, looking for the door.
All is fair in love and war but
I don't want your love no more.
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead.
You're fragile and you're very green,
conditioned by a milk machine.
Got no imagination.
Got no imagination.
No.
Take a walk, kid.
Eyes that tell me "baby, you don't need no invitation".
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move.
I can see me in the morning; losing my direction,
deep inside my overcoat, footsteps for the door.

Kidnapper

Uh hey! You've got an unnerving face
and twitching eyes like Norman Bates.
You got a cigarette, eye on a mirror.
Farm boy brown gas station sweeper.
You took that girl, you put the saddle on her.
Just thirteen, she's her daddy's apple,
and she don't know you're the kidnapper, uh-huh.
Uh hey! Your daddy's Whiskey Sam.
He's got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland.
Playin' solitaire, your mother fidgets.
You wanna be rich but you won't dig ditches.
She bitches like a brat.
She got the money.
People breaking their necks and she thinks it's funny.
Where's your old man now?
Nobody's home, uh-huh.
Kidnapper.
Uh hey! They call you Skinny Jim
and nobody knows the boat you're in.
They dipped your tail when you were back in school.
Well, you're a real strange cake but your nobody's fool.
So you took that girl and you put the saddle on her.
Just thirteen.
She's fresh out of diapers
and she don't know your the kidnapper, uh-huh.

Detroit 442

You know he can't be tested.
He can't be read or found.
Urban gray takes breath away.
He wants to push his pedal to the ground.
And the night's what's right.
Puts him at the wheel.
Well, I eat danger.
Any stranger is all right.
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O.
Dodging flying objects at the show.
And the lights make me fight.
In Detroit 442...
Maybe, baby, I could ride with you.
This town's a concrete factory
and dad and mom look just like me.
I'm on the plant assembly line.
Too late now.
Too far behind!
You said you wanna hang around.
No one really cares where you go.
Take your time.
Things never change.
In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you.
One more to market, one more piggie, and they all,
they all look just like me, yeah.

Cautious Lip

All the way down do it.
Another way down.
Why, yeah.
What do you know huh?
I seen you skip that cautious lip.
Now tell me this through that cautious lip.
You can be bit as I make you it.
I seen you skip that cautious lip.
A chance you'll fit that cautious lip.
It's just these things, not really gifts.
It's just these things, not really gifts.
I seen you skip that cautious lip.
I seen you skip that cautious lip,
but never miss my bouncing hips.
A girl so sweet.
A love so strong.
I seen you skip, I see you tip.
You can be bit as I make you it.
I seen you skip that cautious lip.
Ah I seen you skip that cautious lip.
Ah.
Cautious lip cautious lip.
You can be bit.
