Styling, you know you are
styling
So turn to the mirror and
blow yourself a kiss
It goes just like this
You've done it a thousand
times
It's as easy as drinking
wine, only now it's blood
Here it come again
(treating you so kind)
Till it comes again
(leaving you no mind)
Your feelings, they flow
without reason
So look to the stars above
and
Blow it all away
I come without warning
Some call me morning,
I wipe all your tears away,
the evil ones I kill
Here it comes again
(treating you so kind)
Till it comes again
(leaving you no mind)
Taking the form of pain this
time
It never treats you unkind
Your followers, lead them
blind
And suck away their lives
Cause yours depends on it
Here it comes again
Chasing the night away

2.ANNE'S SONG
"HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing,
just wondering why it is you're
doing
that whatever it is you're
doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it just
doesn't seem like something
you'd be doing that's all you of all
people, know what I mean?
"Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the
day I was born, huh? I asked
my friend Anne about it. I said, 'Anne,
Anne, Anne, what am I supposed
to do, it's been bugging them since the
day that I was born.' She
said 'Do whatever the hell you want to do!
Now is the time to do whatever
you want, and it will still turn out
great. You've got the world
at your feet.'"
I never claimed to be different,
I only said I was bored and she's
tired of your uniqueness,
it sends her over head first then the rest
of her follows, the breath
of life, it never left her hollow...
I can do everything, she
said, she said with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight,
cause I'm with Anne.
Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit
Island princess queen with the juice
What's this? I see she brought
her whole uptown contingent. First
there's
Jon E., he always loves a
party, he's followed by Vinnie, who's
feelin'
kinda skinny, he says "Hey
Anne I'm starved what you got to eat, she
says "Vinnie you're always
starving man get away from that fridge!
Here comes Lucy, she's feelin'
really sexy, she's followed by her
boyfriend, who'd better not
turn around, this time, or he's bound to
lose
her, and here comes Jamilla,
who's got the cream soda...
I can do everything, she
said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight,
cause I'm with Anne

3.INTRODUCE
YOURSELF
From the day I was born,
I took the bull by the horns, and gave you
plenty to scorn, well right
on! Then you said in a song that life was
gettin real tough, but hey
I think that you're bluffing, what of it?
Introduce yourself (right
on!)
Now two decades gone by and
I know that's a long time, para tiempo
means
nada nunca. Cause I'm still
the same asshole and I still wet my pants
every time that I see your
face (who are you?)
Introduce yourself (right
on!)
Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall,
Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime,
Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on?
Introduce yourself (right
on!)

4.CHINESE
ARITHMETIC
Candle light, it burns in
every hole of your eyes
It's beautiful, how much
you'll never realize
So hush my love, there's
something I'm to tell you now
Your time has come, around
again my sleepless one
Your friend was young, hung
and plastered
He never knew his own disaster
I think it's good, in fact
it was faster
Cause it was you that he
was after
Hold me now, as if you'll
never let me go
Unhand me now, as if you've
always known my name
His love was king, his love
was master
He needed more, he needed
always
He searched in vein for love
and shelter
In every soul, in every hallway
So you thought she'd be sweeter
than your girlfriend Peter
Well give it a second chance
cause you've yet to meet her
We got the same ideas, we
got the same old fears
They're different colors
sometimes, but, hey, who cares?
Just years that tears our
lives apart
Just like the time that you
tried to teach your cousin to walk
He couldn't do it-push!-you
told him twice
Well, I do man but it just
don't jive
Tried so hard to control
my behavior
I tried so hard, so hard
to believe you
But now I live only to deceive
you...
So KICK and SCREAM!!!
[topo]
5.DEATH MARCH
There's nothing I'd like
more than to let you in
But now you're on the other
side and there's no way...
To feel your breath of life
upon my face
Cause with the state you're
in there wouldn't be a trace
No I wake up every night
with this emptiness inside
Hasn't been the same since
you left without a trace
Quit the human race, did
you? Camina con la muerto?
[topo]
6.WE CARE A
LOT
We care a lot about disasters,
fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA
shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation
and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease,
baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
We care a lot about the gamblers
and the pushers and the geeks
We care a lot about the crack
and smack and whack that hits the street
We care a lot about the welfare
of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people
cause we're out to save the world
YEAH!
And it's a dirty job but
someone's gotta do it
We care a lot about the army
navy air force and marines
We care a lot about the SF,
NY and LAPD
We care a lot about you people,
about your guns
about the wars you're fighting
gee that looks like fun
We care a lot about the Garbage
Pail Kids, they never lie
We care a lot about Transformers
cause there's more than meets the eye
We care a lot about the little
things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot about you people
yeah you bet we care a lot,
YEAH!
Well, its a dirty job but
someone's gotta do it
And it's a dirty song but
someone's gotta sing it

7.R n' R
Don't put that thing too
close to my head
It took this long just to
get ahead, he says
He knows for sure, but that
he can't decide
Between his decency and this
matter of pride
So he's growing up on time,
he's growing up in the middle...
And it burns, and it burns,
the sun burns
Oh, now I can really feel
it. How could you ever stand it?
We've got the same ideas,
we got the same old fears;
Different colors sometimes,
but hey, who cares?
It's just years that shears
our lives apart, like the
Time you tried to teach your
nephew to fart, he couldn't do it. PUSH!
So he's growing up on time,
I'm growing up in the middle...
Oh, now I can really feel
it. How could you ever stand it?
I'm not the kind of person
who would say it, if it wasn't the truth
And then you go and tell
a friend that her heart's on fire
And it has no meaning.
Now and only now I know the
difference when you tell me
There is no difference.
So she's growing up on time,
she's growing up in the middle...
Now's the time to evaluate
between the love you give
And the love that you take.
"It's not a matter of opinion,
when it comes down to it,
It's just a difference of
opinion, that much I can take."
So I'm growing up on time,
I'm growing up in the middle...
And it burns

8.THE CRAB
SONG
"And after all the feelings
go, I see I still love you so,
I just thought I'd let you
know now that everything's okay,
And you are on your way back,
back to where you came,"
She said with pain in her
heart, it was there from the start.
Now I know why everything
turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest,
I want fluorescence every day and night
For the rest of my life,
open your eyes, won't you?
Can't you see you're so beautiful
to me?
Don't look back as a matter
of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to
break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked
his world
Now it's your your head that
he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't
think twice
Cause he knows just what
he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a
crime of love
And he won't be happy till
he sees your blood
Looking back on when you
left me
Standing in the rain
Don't look back as a matter
of fact there's
A son of a bitch and he's
digging a ditch
For you my friend, my lucky
one
So grab your things it's
time to run to the other side
Where love takes pride, and
your souls
The only thing that stays
alive
Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal
jive!
Looking back on when I left
you...
Crying in pain
Don't look back...(1st verse)
Looking back on when you
left me
Standing in the rain, in-credible
pain
I understand. You have to
be your own person. And that's ok with me.
Hurts, Hurts, Hurts, Like
a like a motherfucher
Love. it hurts. it kills.
Like a sonofabitch.
That feeling. It gets me.
Down inside. Deep down there
No further. Keep going. Oh
man that's right out my system
[topo]
9.BLOOD
It doesn't really matter,
the things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder,
up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air
is cold, you're messing with my mind
Hey! You do it every time,
Hey! And the season comes around
Once more,once more.
It doesn't really matter,
the things you try to say
It doesn't really matter,
you say 'em every day
Right now just give me more
blood
Just give it to me deep red
A flowing river crimson
A flowing river burning with
desire
It's great, but I never said
how great
Hey, you never really asked,
well, I'm asking you right now
So shut up and explain
What's on your mind
In this dark hour
I said it doesn't matter,
I can't be that much fatter
And you'll never get as much
blood
From a phony Blarney, stone,
rock, hard, Granite!?! Solid.

10.SPIRIT
She looked at me and did
the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then
just walked away
then the lights came on and
it was over
to my surprise, she wasn't
a girl at all
so I packed it up and took
to a rock show...
where you can feel the pulse
getting stronger
& you can only hear the
beat for so long
I asked if there was any
way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and
act as if...
you worship the very ground
on which they walk on...
no way
a temporary absence of gesture
a hidden meaning known to
everyone
a slight misconception of
leizure
don't see how that could
hurt anyone...I know...but
spirit, excellence, further
down the road,
these are the tools you'll
need further down the road.
so lets pack it up and take
it somewhere special...
from a quintessential, existential
nightmare
to a sanctuary waiting in
the sun
