We're All In Love We're all in love! We're all in love! We're all in love! We're all in love! We all sleep in one great big bed People like to think we're sick in the head Everything to them is just a functional fit Got a bad reputation, just won't quit Defame with great suspicion, hostility Despisable, phenomenal, illusory Pretty fancy words for not really real Love ain't pretty, it's the way that we feel because We're all in love! We don't care! We're all in love! What could they do to us? We're all in love! You can do whatcha wanna but We're all in love! Jumpin' round the stage like teenage girls Castin' our swine before the pearls Don't fuck with us, what people say They go to work, we go to play! Drunk on the joy, a-singin' a song Lovin' hard as the day is long Excommunicated, then canonized When love is strong, life intensifies because We're all in love! We're all in love! We're all in love! We're all in love! We love fightin' like lovers do Love makin' up in a hour or two A kiss on the lips, unseemly for a man Least we don't go around holdin' hands Most times we don't, but don't stop tryin' With the music we got to manifest the divine To beam it up with love and let it rock on down Til every creature hip to the ultimate ground because We're all in love! What do we care? We're all in love! It's our life! We're all in love! You can do whatcha wanna, but We're all in love! We don't care! We're all in love! (in love) We're all in love! (in love) We're all in love! (in love) We're all in love! Love! Love! Love!
Runnin' Around Whoo! All right! Yo! (wolf whistles) All right, boys, here we go now.. Why should gay boys get all the good seats? (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Little girl, god gave ya two good feets for (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Your legs are crossed and your shoe is danglin' Yo! (???)the shape I'm in Come on baby, let's get over the street So goddamn great, I wanna kiss your feet! Since I was a boy, loved them high-heeled shoes (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Just lookin' at you in 'em takes away my blues (Runnin' around, runnin' around) I'm right behind ya, flyin' up them stairs Yo... What we do up there, I don't care I be lovin' what I seen from here You got flesh-colored underwear! Let's play secretary, let's have a little fun (Runnin' around, runnin' around) I'll take dictation, you're the bossy one (Runnin' around, runnin' around) On a desk that's just yea-high Duh..... You spread your wings just like a butterfly My god, it's almost made ya deified I love you, baby, cause you ain't shy Taste so sweet, feel I been glorified! Sexless Italian actress at the Vatican (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Confessin' to a demented clergyman (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Esmerelda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Beauty and the Beast, Cocteau is to blame! (Runnin' around, runnin' around) Who cares what the neighbors say? (Runnin' around, runnin' around) They gonna talk about us anyway! (Runnin' around, runnin' around) The young gravedigger and the corpse (Runnin' around, runnin' around) I love you, baby, you're so warped!
Penty Of Music Feeling a great sadness today Don't wanna indulge it or shoo it away It belongs to the whole world The boys and girls It ain't just mine Like joy and love, it's always there Don't know how I tune in, don't know why that I care But I can't pretend This don't feel like the end And everything is fine Feel exiled from the divine Me and these sad friends of mine Just waitin' down here Drinkin' beer And losin' time I hear plenty of music I see superfluous beauty Everywhere Why should I care? What does it matter to me? The myth of life is a song Nature, too, is the song Don't you destroy the song Cause when the song is gone You'll be gone too Don't know how it went astray Seem like the whole world is an ashtray Just floatin' around A broken-down Low-end galaxy Don't know what I did to get sent here Must have been something bad that I done There in a world gone mad Feelin' sad I guess I'm sorry Don't need no one to love me Oh please, dance up above me What does it matter? Don't need a ladder What's it to me? I hear plenty of music I see superfluous beauty Everywhere Why should I care? What does it matter? I hear plenty of music I see superfluous beauty Everywhere Why should I care? What does it matter to me? What's it matter to me? It don't matter to me Nothing matters to me...
Dance Like A Monkey You designed so intelligent Ain't no way that was an accident C'mon shake your monkey hips My pretty little creationist Oh yeah! Ain't gonna anthropomorphize ya Or perversely polymorphasize ya Little girl you look so sweet You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child You just started ten thousand years ago Presto Adam and Eve and go man go Abel died, Cain took his life And headed straight to the jungle to find a wife (Wow!) Non-believers blame it all on apes It's monkey time - I wanna see you shake Evolution is obsolete You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child Stomp your hands and clap your feet You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child Oh one more time yo! It's monkey time!! C'mon pretty baby, won't you take a chance? Be my natural selection, and dance dance dance Exorcise your demons with that monkey grin 'Cause we're gonna inherit the wind Let 'em fight it out in the supreme court That's such a mad lame indoor sport Wave your arms and legs in the air Rock it like a monkey like ya just don't care Evolution is so obsolete Gotta stomp your hands and clap your feet - come on! You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey You gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child Dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child Dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey Dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child
Punishing World Universe is drama and it plays this game Got so involved, forgot we're all the same Appears so real and it does it so well Some of us in heaven, some are in hell On the edge of our seat, don't know where it's gonna go 'Til we're all throwin' bombs, screamin' "On with the show!" In a Punishing world Incredibly Punishing world Vortex of defensiveness in which I quake Escaping conflicted, the conflict I try to escape Try to find some comfort, what i find instead Like changing my position on a cement bed A mess of anxiety that lusts and loathes Livin' in terror of debt, and in the misery I know In a Punishing world Incredibly Punishing world Subterfuge, Orwellian doublespeak A consciously awarin' little ego-freak So much bullshit everywhere I go Amazing how many things there are that aren't so In a Punishing world Incredibly Punishing world Punishing world Punishing world Instead of compassion, lots of love and joy A vast competition, compulsion to destroy Further from line I get in spirit and mind Selfishness makes stronger all the ties that bind I laboriously make em with my words and thoughts 'Til they're impossible to break I'm stuck, I'm done In a Punishing world Incredibly Punishing world It's a punishing world Punishing world Such a punishing world Punishing world What a bummer Punishing world All summer Punishing world Man it's a punishing world Punishing world Yeah, a punishing world Punishing world It's a punishing...
Maimed Happiness It's a maimed happiness I keep trying to acquiesce It's like a tempestuous child You play with and humor to keep Quiet as you possibly can Til finally it goes to sleep Life takes a lot of finesse It's a maimed happiness Keep myself to every way Both refined and uncouth Then maybe once in a while I can be with the truth Don't know if there's that much to be said For this world, or the time that we spend I doubt that I'd wanna live This wasted life over again Yeah I been to the doctor Said there ain't much he can do "You got the human condition Boy, I feel sorry for you." There's a sorrowful joy I known since hours ago Joyful sorrow, I guess It's a maimed happiness.
Fishnets And Cigarettes I was sittin' there all alone I was prayin' you would come home I was listenin' to an old blues song (Baby, I'm wounded Wounded and bleeding Won't you ease my pain?) You're gettin' a little impatient Smokin' like a mental patient Happiness Fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who I impress? A mind ensnared by love (???) And it's treatin' me so unkind But in my heart it's an old blues song Playful and bitchin' Mischievious and earthy Happiness Fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who I impress? A mind ensnared by love Talk about slayin' the snake You got my heart bound up in shame But in my soul it's an old blues song This life can be so tragic Until you see the magic Happiness Fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress I'm talking 'bout happiness Fishnets and cigarettes A pagan monkey in a dress Tell me who I impress? A mind ensnared by love (*mumbled lines* Hey baby Hey baby Don't let me cry in vain)
Gotta Get Away From Tommy Tommy's got a brother named Thomas And another brother named Tom. Their father's a professional fighter And I think so is their mom. Gotta get away, Gotta get away Get away from Tommy But Tommy won't get away Won't stay away from me Get away from me, Tommy Tommy gets his wisdom through excess Tommy don't hold no scorn Transcends limits of his culture The very one from where I was born Gotta get away, gotta get away Get away from Tommy But Tommy won't get away Won't stay away from me Get away from me, Tommy! Tommy don't follow no tradition The song that he sings is his own I can hear the shame bells ringing I don't wanna die alone. Gotta get away, gotta get away Get away from Tommy One time and won't get away Won't stay away from me Gotta get away, gotta get away Get away from Tommy But Tommy won't get away Won't stay away from me Get away from me, Tommy!
Danching On The Lip Of A Volcano Been cravin' more life and more love That lives in the soul of my heart Don't wanna be no artist I'm a dancin', singin' work of art You lit my heart with fiery aggression and you showed me The fury of love, sex and affection that ya owed me (In danger) But I ain't scared (In danger) I found the splendor there (Dancin') Atop a flamin' pit (We're dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) Right on the lip of a volcano Nature with its true voice cries out, undissembled, "Be as I am!" Revealed in its wildest, most generous incarnation (In danger) Devil-may-care (In danger) The fire's everywhere (We're dancing) So let the fire lick (We're dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) On the lip of a volcano Let's dance! In the center of action of my psyche's need for love I want liberation and joy In a paroxysm of intoxication, inspiration Ain't no way to be coy (In danger) A blazing glare (in danger) I found the splendor there (Dancing) Won't letcha slip (We're dancing) Let the lava rip (We're dancing) On the lip of a volcano (Dancing) We are creating it (We're dancing) So let the fire rip (We're dancing) Right on the lip of a volcano A volcano A volcano Thrown in the dance with the mystics Burning me up with its music Sensualistic Ritualistic Alchemistic Polytheistic
I Ain't Got Nothin' When I come down And all my money is spent Try as I may, I don't know where it went All the good times And all the fun that I had Just can't remember when I felt so bad It don't make no sense And it seems so odd And it makes me wonder if there's a God I ain't got nothing After the fall I ain't got nothing I got no one to call I ain't got nothing Feeling so small I ain't got nothing Nothing, nothing at all This is not how The end should have come Who could imagine this when I was young? Where is everybody? It's not the way I wanted it to be But the path I took They've all outgrown The party's over I'm all alone I ain't got nothing After the fall I ain't got nothing Feeling so small I ain't got nothing I got no one to call I ain't got nothing Nothing, I got nothing at all All the magic I swore that I knew Just disappeared, it hasn't left a clue No one's talking On my behalf Here in the silence as I force a laugh There was a time I coulda cried Even my feelings have crawled up and died I ain't got nothing After the fall I ain't got nothing Feeling so small Against the wall Now ain't that something? Nothing, I got nothing at all... Thanks to rgnoffo for these lyrics
Rainbow Store Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store That pretty little doll that I'd seen before Stayed too long with the borderline My emotional landscape was strip-mined. What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir She knew I was watchin' her Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form Started gettin' glad that I was born She walked right up to me Said, "What's it gonna be?" At the Rainbow Store She came over and she pulled my hair Said, "Hey boy, whatcha doin' here?" "Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon." She knew it wasn't true but she was cool Pushed my neck against the elevator door Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before Made a face so sweet and mean I went down like a submarine She walked right up to me Said, "What's it gonna be?" At the Rainbow Store Went all the way down to the abyss It felt like almost happiness Never thought I'd find myself here Without guilt, and without fear I never knew it could be all right I never knew bliss not to be finite You never know despair or languishment Once you live to complete this illusionment She walked right up to me Said, "What's it gonna be?" At the Rainbow Store She walked right up to me Bam! went my ennui At the Rainbow Store
Gimme Luv And Turn On The Light Something has shot me through Just like the livin' truth Gimme luv and turn on the light How long has it been dark Without the slightest spark Gimme luv and turn on the light All light shines in darkness Where else could it shine? Could it? We're the proper troglodytes Everybody loves a fight Gimme luv and turn on the light This is infinity This is eternity This is my destiny! Foolishness and wisdom are practically the same Indifferent to the opinions of the world Of the world Of the world! Jumpin' out of room and life (?) It's all struggle and strife Gimme luv and turn on the light When I come over the hill With a folded dollar bill It's "Baby where you been so long?" Our shortcomings may be more Than merely human after all After all... after all... after all... After all.
Take A Good Look At My Good Looks Spirit slumbers in nature And awakens in mind And finally recognizes Yourself in time Call us what you will but Love made us like this So what? Yeah, this whole world is just Artifice Take a good look at my good looks Then close your eyes Keep the picture in your mind 'cause I'll be gone One rainy day, I saw ya smiling You let me stay awhile And it was all right Living with you, not even trying The pain is long gone And it's all right! Take a good look at my good looks Then close your eyes Keep the picture in your mind 'cause I'll be gone Hellishly transparent Utterly divine Every little timeless gesture of Valentine Memories hold onto illusion Cause we're just human And that's all right (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) Duality is so confusin' You think you're not dreamin' Then you open There's no foundation No final resting place Only emptiness and Hellish grace Some rainy day, I'll find ya crying With love and animus Sparkling in your eyes (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) But you'll be the one to recognize me You'll all get lost Every time I fall (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) Nothing you say will scandalize me You'll be all right You're just like it is (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) It's all right, it's all right! Our noisy years will seem like moments In a film of Eternal tears (Take a good look at my good looks, baby) Seems so long to have romance (fade out...) (Take a good look at my good looks, baby)
