Road to ruin

I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO (2:42)

Hanging out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do

Tonight

Wait! Now!

Hanging out all by myself
Cause I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do

I WANTED EVERYTHING (3:19)

I heard about the Easter bunny
Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy
There was no Mom or Daddy

I wanted everything

I had the world on my shoulder
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it
Some kind of employment

All day working on a truck
Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary
No tip for the delivery

Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket
And I'm goin' in after it
I wanted everything

DON'T COME CLOSE (2:45)

You know it's generally known
You got everything at home
Kisses out of desperation
Bring you more aggravation

And you don't come close
You don't come close
You don't come close
You don't come close

You bring out your souvenirs
Soak them wet with your tears
You lose your imagination
Out of more aggravation

You turn red with rage
But act your age
Only thing that your regret
You need more time to forget

I DON'T WANT YOU (2:26)

You said that you'd be true
Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

I don't want you
Don't want you
I don't want you

Anymore

You said that you'd be mine
Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

I don't want you
Don't want you
I don't want you

I want you, I want you to stay
But I guess that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

NEEDLES AND PINS (2:21)

I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away

Still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Oh, I thought I was smart
I stole her heart
Didn't think I do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see just how to save me

And get down on her knees
That's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Oh no, oh no

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong
I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong

Because I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away

Hey, needles and pins
Needles and pins

I'M AGAINST IT (2:07)

I don't like politics
I don't like communists
I don't like games and fun
I don't like anyone

Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like Jesus freaks
I don't like circus geeks
I don't like summer and spring
I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs
I don't like waterbugs
I don't care about poverty
All I care about is me

I don't like playing ping pong
I don't like the Viet Cong
I don't like Burger King
I don't like anything

And I'm against it

I WANNA BE SEDATED (2:29)

Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport
And put me in a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no, oh ho, oh no

Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no, oh ho, oh no

Ba-ba-bamp-pa
Ba-ba-ba-bamp-pa
I wanna be sedated

GO MENTAL (2:41)

I've gone mental

Out of the hospital
Out against my will
Life is so beautiful
I've gone mental

Mental, mental

I've killed my family
They thought I was an oddity
Life is so beautiful
I am a vegetable

Staring at my goldfish bowl
Popping phenobarbitol
Life is so beautiful
I've gone mental

Sitting on my window sill
Life is so beautiful
I've become irrational
I've gone mental

QUESTIONINGLY (3:22)

Questioningly
Her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?

Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl
That I once may have knew

But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry

In the morning
I'm at work on time
My boss tells me that I'm doing fine

When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle movie on the TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me, just me
Questioningly

SHE'S THE ONE (2:12)

Yeah, yeah, she's the one

When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so

She's the one

Yeah, yeah, she's my girl

Know I'll never find a girl like you
But in my heart I'll always love you

Know I'll never find a girl like you
But in my heart I'll always be true

Yeah, yeah, she's my girl
The best girl in the whole wide world

BAD BRAIN (2:24)

I used to be an A student
I never used to complain
I used to be a truant
But I'm still the same

Bad bad brain

I used to go to parties
I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain

I used to be in showbiz
I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain
I used to have a name

Now I'm on the Bowery
I can't remember my name

IT'S A LONG WAY BACK (2:21)

You by the phone
You all alone
It's a long way back to Germany
