Precious

I like the way you cross the street
'Cause I'm precious.
Moving through the Cleavland heat,
How precious.
You're taking nights and all the kicks:
You're so precious.
But you know I ain't shittin' bricks,
'cause I'm precious.

He's picked at fifth and Euclid Avenue:
Was real precious.
Hotel, still and comin' into view.
How precious.
Pity that you bruised my hip,
'cause I'm precious.
You shouldn't let your manners slip:
You're too precious.

Make me wanna -
Make me wanna -
Maybe make it.

We were bound, bound, bound, bound to show it.
We want to do it, do it, do it, do it on the pavement.
Maybe, maybe I'm going to have a baby.
We want to do it - do it all night.

I was feeling kind of ethereal.
'Cause I'm precious.
I got my eye on your imperial.
You're so precious.
Now, Howard the Duck and Mister Strausbow Straid:
Precious.
Trapped in a world that they never made.
But not me, baby - I'm too precious.
Fuck off!

This is mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know

Up The Neck

Anger and lust,
My senses running amok.
Bewildered and deluded,
Have I been hit by a truck.
With my tongue inside his [...?...],
Felt like the time in the womb.
But I woke up with a headache that split my skull,
Alone in the room.
I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees,
Ip to my neck with my teeth sunk into my own flesh.
I said, baby, oh sweetheart.
Lust turns to anger,
A kiss to a slug.
Something was sticking,
On the shag rug, look at the tiles.
I remember the way he groaned,
Moved with an animal skill,
My face in the sweat that ran down his chest,
>It's all, very, run of the mill.
I noticed that his scent started to change somehow,
His face went berserk, veins bulged on his brow.
I said baby, oh sweetheart.

Bondage to lust,
Abuse of facility.
Blackmailed emotions confused,
The demon and devilty.
I was sure his attentions were sweet,
And that mine were as well.
But a wish is a shot in the dark,
When your coin's down the well.
I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head,
Up into my neck I said, said, said,
Dead.
I said baby, oh sweetheart.

Tattooed Love Boys

I ran twenty doors,
Around the house, black and blue
Between love boys
Tore my knees up getting tattooed
Cause I needed, to find out what the thing was for
Been reading, a man time came to explore.

I went apewire
Cause I thought, like I like it
Little tease, but I didn't mean it
But you mess with the goods doll, you gotta pay.

A good time was guaranteed for one and all
With tattoos, target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called
While I, I, I found what the wait was about.

I was a good time
Yeah, I got pretty good
Changing tires, upstairs bro.
I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for.

Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed,
You got paint stick, all over the scars, lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay
But ha ha, too bad
You know what they say.

Stop sniffling
You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man
Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You are that.

The Wait

Said the wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it
The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts
The wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, neon light, late night lights hurt
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby

Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride slapped child hurts
The wait child, crest-felled child, tear eyed child hurts
The wait child, bus-stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby

I said child child staring into the street light
Messed up child, lonley boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten (repeat)

Said the wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, bus-stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, pool-hall child, pin-table now hurts
The wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child, child, child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby

Stop Your Sobbing

It is time,
For you to stop, all of your sobbing,
Yes it's time you stop, all of your sobbing.
There's one thing you gotta do,
To make me still want you,
Gotta stop sobbing at all, gotta stop sobbing at all.

It is time, for you to laugh, instead of crying,
Yes it's time, you to laugh, so keep on trying,
There's one thing you gotta do,
To make me still want you,
Gotta stop sobbing at all, gotta stop sobbing at all.

Each little tear,
That falls from your eye,
Makes, makes me want,
To take you in my arms
And tell you to stop all of your sobbing.

There's one thing you gotta do,
To make me still want you,
And there's one thing you gotta know,
To make me want you so,
Gotta stop sobbing at all, gotta stop sobbing at all.

Kid

Kid, what changed your mood,
You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too.
I think I know,
Some things you never outgrow.
You think it's wrong,
I can tell you do.
How can I explain,
You don't want me to.

Kid, my only kid.
Look so small, got so quiet,
I know you know
What I'm about, I won't deny it.
But you forgave what you don't understand.
You turned your head,
You dropped my hand.
All my sorrow, all my blues,
All my sorrow.

Shut me up, go away.
Fool of grace, you cover your face.

Kid, precious kid,
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry.
I know,
Angry tears are too dear, you won't let them go.

Private Life

Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me;

Getting tired of your theatrics, your acting is a drag.
It's okay on T.V. 'cause you can turn it off,
But don't try me.
Yes your marriage is a tragedy but it's not my concern.
I'm very superficial I hate anything official.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.

Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death.
You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath.
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret shit that's so wet,
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.

You ask me for my advice I say, 'Use the door.'
You're still clinging to somebody you deplore.
And you want to use me for emotional blackmail.
I just feel pity when you lie and contempt when you cry.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.
Private life, private life, leave me out.
Private life, drama baby leave me out.

Lovers of Today

I tried to talk to my baby,
I said "No, no, no, no baby, please don't cry,"
No, no, no baby, please.
All of the leaves come down,
Everytime babies cry.
All of the leaves come down.

I put my arms around my baby,
I said "Hush, hush, hush, hush baby sleep tight, now."
Hush, hush, hush baby sleep.
All of the birds start to sing,
Everytime babies dream.
All of the birds start to sing.

Oh...

Nobody wants to see
Lovers of today happy so sure,
They're going to part.
Nobody wants to be,
With someone so afraid they're going to be the broken heart.

I kissed the eyes of my baby,
I said, "Dream, dream, dream, dream baby all night, long."
Dream, dream, dream all night.
All of the stars in the skies,
Twinkle like my baby's eyes,
All of the stars in the sky.

I tried to talk to my baby.
No, no
Oh, oh
No, no, no

No, I'll never feel like a man in a man's world.

Mystery Achievement

Don't breathe down my neck no
I got no trophies on display
I sign them away
I mean what the heck
All of your promises
Dont fill me with pride no
I just want to get out on the floor
And do the Cuban Slide Slide Slide Slide

Chorus:
Everyday every night time I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind on my mind on my mind
Everyday every night time I feel
Mystery achievement
You're so unreal

Mystery achievement
Where's my sandy beach yeah
I have my dreams like everybody else
But their out of reach
I said right out of reach
I try to ignore you
Your demands are unending yeah
I got no Ts on my skin,
But you know me: I love pretending.

Repeat chorus
