I never knew a man
could tell so many lies.
He had a different story
for every set of eyes.
How can he remember
who he's talkin' to?
'Cause I know it ain't me,
and I hope it isn't you.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I’m not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an’ more
But it ain’t me, babe
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe

Sweet the sin
Bitter than taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out

You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

In the tall buildings sit the heads of our nations
Worthy men from Spain and Siam
All day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan
Now up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 for the midnight condition
Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission

And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

So it's goodbye to the sunshine
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
I’m going to work in tall buildings
Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.

Well I died in Penn station tonight, oh lord
Well I died in Penn station tonight, oh lord
In Penn station tonight

With a toothbrush and a comb
Five dollars and dead cell phone, oh lord
No photo I.d.
No past to torture me, oh lord
No past to torture me

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

Some people talk behind your back
Others keep it hid
Some people carry grudges, you know
For something you never did
I don't carry anything
Unless you count this torch, for you
Someday I might just lay it down,
But that day ain't coming soon
Come on darlin'
When you gonna open up your heart for me?
I keep it all together for the sake of the kids.

Lock the door and close the blinds
Theyre coming for me girl and I aint got time
If they ask you, darlin, oh about what I did
Baby you gotta keep it hid

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrians
I know you're out there
With rage in your heart and your megaphones
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

Dead leaves always give up motion
I no longer feel the motion
Where prophecy fails, the falling motion
"Don't report this, agents of fortune"

Caught you with your backfield in motion, baby
I'm gonna have to penalize you
Backfield in motion, baby
You know that's against the rules
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

My parents used to follow me around California...
"You know it ain't too late, you can still go back to college!"
Well, one of you wanted a lawyer, the other wanted an author.
But tonight, you'se are both just gonna have to settle... for rock and roll!

I took month long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath...

There's room at the top, they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

It's a long, long, way to the top of the world
On a rough road that winds round and round
It's a long, long way to the top of the world
But it's only a short fall back down

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

They say he was sick 'cause he didn't play by the rules
He just showed the wise men of his day to be nothing more than fools
They stamped him and they labeled him like they do with pants and shirts
He fought a war on a battlefield where every victory hurts
Lenny Bruce was bad, he was the brother that you never had.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

They say you have the right to peacefully protest
unless you're poor or your black, then you're under attack
Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.

I don't love the mountains
I don't love the sea
I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Or smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
It's money that I love
It's money that I love

Come here baby, I got a needle for your eye
I got a mountain of money and drugs for you to try
I know I'm a fuck up and at least twice your age
Do some of this, I'll manipulate you for days

Thinking up the alibis that everyone's forgotten
Just another mother's boy gone to rotten
They pat some good boys on the back and put others to the rod
But I never thought they'd put me in the
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

And they put you on the day shift
