Fountains of Wayne Lyrics
1: Radiation Vibe
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches
And now you slouch
He didn't mean it
He's just a dumb ape
Reading Playboy
On your couch
And now it's time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what's wrong
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on
Don't it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
I went to Pittsburgh
And joined a pro team
Talk about a bad dream
I broke a knee
But I can still croon
And make the girls swoon
Isn't that the way life's
Supposed to be
But now it's time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what's wrong
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on
Don't it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on
And now it's time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what's wrong
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on
Don't it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Baby baby baby
Come on, what's wrong
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on
Don't it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on

2: Sink To The Bottom
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
The ocean is big and blue
I just wanna sink to the bottom with you
Cars on the highway, planes in the air
Everyone else is going somewhere
But I'm going nowhere, getting there too
I might as well just sink down with you
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
The ocean is big and blue
I just wanna sink to the bottom with you
I just wanna
Out on the highway, up in the air
Everyone else is going somewhere
They're going nowhere, and I'll be there too
I might as well go under with you
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
I wanna sink to the bottom with you
The ocean is big and blue
I just wanna sink to the bottom with you
I just wanna sink to the bottom with you
The ocean is big and blue
I just wanna sink to the bottom with you
I just wanna
I just wanna
I just wanna

3: Joe Rey
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Rey came from Spain
Across the ocean in the frozen rain
And he loves
Point point pointing the finger
Joe Rey is stoned all day
With two hairdressers in a Chevrolet
For a while
I think Joe Rey's gonna linger
Joe Rey is not so pretty
I can't understand why he's so in demand
He stays out late in the city, sometimes, sometimes
Joey Rey smokes at three
Barks like a pigeon
And watches TV
He's cool, cool, cool, cooler than I am
He knows what I don't know
Got seventeen different words for snow that he signs
Signs to a deaf girl named Diane
Joe Rey is not so pretty
I can't understand why he's so in demand
He stays out late in the city, sometimes, sometimes
Joe Rey is not so pretty
I can't understand why he's so in demand
He stays out late in the city, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Joe Rey came from Spain
Across the ocean in the frozen rain
And he loves
Point point pointing the finger
Joe Rey loves
Point point pointing the finger
Joe Rey loves
Point point pointing the finger
Joe Rey loves
Point point pointing the finger

4: She's Got A Problem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know a girl who should never be alone
I know a girl who should never be alone
She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb
I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
Everytime she goes outside she barely gets home alive
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb
Oh yeah, and I can see the signs
Oh yeah, cause she's only killing time
Oh yeah, and she's not long for this world
She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5: Survival Car
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't you wanna ride in my
Survival car
We can take the long way home
Through Central Park
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road ain't there
And only riding on the path we made
To Union Square
Doing like the young folks do
In west coast towns
Plowing like a banshee through
The overground
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road won't dare
And only riding on the path we made
To Union Square
Everybody hit the ground
I think I might have missed my calling
Everybody turn around
The light's about to change
You better stand aside
Why you wanna walk
Don't you want to ride ride ride ride
Don't you wanna ride in my
Survival car
We can take the long way home
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road won't there
And only riding on the path we made
To Union Square
And only riding on the path we made
Riding on the path we made
Riding on the path we made
To Union Square
Don't you wanna ride in my
Survival car
We can take the long way home

6: Barbara H.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a small girl Barbara sure has got a big crush
The kind that makes you want to break stuff
And blame it on a man you don't know
She came down to New York City in a big bus
Nine hours driving and you can't just stay home
So it doesn't matter which way you go
And now all day the radio's been playing the same song
Can't shake that tune but it's ok
Maybe the world isn't so small
Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
And each day Barbara wakes up in a bad way
Tells me quietly she has absolutely nothing to say
But I don't seem to mind
She says she won't listen to the band play
She hates songs that never seem to go away
Now neither will mine
And now all day the radio's been playing the same song
Can't shake that tune but it's ok
Maybe the world isn't so small
Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
And now all day the radio's been playing the same song
Can't shake that tune but it's ok
Maybe the world isn't so small
Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
Barbara knows
Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all

7: Sick Day
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out the girl in the Harbor Tunnel
Crawling to work six feet under
And the day has barely begun
They're all chewing gum
And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station
Lead us not into Penn Station
Cause the best part's just begun
We're all becoming one again
And she's making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machine's not working
She's a hell of a girl
She's alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin
She's on her way
She's taking a sick day..soon
And here is the man pushing paper past her
Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
But the day goes on and on
He daydreams of his lawn
And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over
The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
Til the path train finally comes
The platform's full of bums again
And she's making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machine's not working
She's a hell of a girl
She's alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin
She's on her way
She's taking a sick day..soon
And she's taking her time
As she's tossing a dime
At the man in the cardboard coffin
It doesn't have to be fine
She's ahead of the line
And doesn't have to be here too often
She's making a play
She's taking a sick day..soon

8: I've Got A Flair
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got a flair
For pulling your hair
And making you crazy
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's something I do well
I've got a flair
For making you care
You know you should hate me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's something I do well
Well you know I never meant to hurt no one
But I got a knack for getting things undone
And I got a way of ruining your fun
All the time
I've got a flair
For holding a stare
And holding you downtown
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's something I can tell
Well you know I never meant to hurt no one
But I got a knack for getting things undone
And I got a way of ruining your fun
All the time
I've got a flair
For getting in your hair
And making you crazy
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's something I do well
It's something I do well
It's something I do well
------------------------------------------------------------------------
9: Leave The Biker
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems the further from town I go
The more I hate this place
He's got leather and big tattoos
And big scars all over his face
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom
He's got his arms around every man's dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Now his friend leans over and says
Looks like we got us a fag
I wonder if that guy's read one word
That wasn't in a porno mag
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause his kitten got run over and died
He's got his arms around every man's dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom
He's got his arms around every man's dream
He crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart

10: You Curse At Girls
------------------------------------------------------------------------
They say you curse at girls
Don't you know it isn't right
You could get yourself in trouble
You've been living in a different world
Looking for another fight
Sifting through emotional rubble
Hey boy, don't you get it
One day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone
Hey boy, you can bet it
You'll be blue
Each time you curse at girls
You curse a little at yourself
Don't you know a girl gets angry
Hey boy, don't you get it that
One day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone
Hey boy, you can bet it
You'll be blue
They say you curse at girls
Don't you know it isn't right
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:Please Don't Rock Me Tonight
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was ready when the big day came
My shoes were good and polished
And you know how bad I wished
I had somebody special to blame
But you know I never care to lay
A blame on for my hairdo
You know it isn't easy to do
When the DJ isn't humming
A part of me suffers too
Baby, please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
I'm not in the mood
I didn't mean to make the trendy guy mad
But the feeling I'm immersed in now
Can only turn a good party bad
Somehow, somehow
You know it isn't easy to do
When the DJ isn't humming
A part of me suffers too
Baby, please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
I'm not in the mood
I'm not in the mood
And you know it isn't easy to do
When the DJ isn't humming
A part of me suffers too
Baby, please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
Please don't rock me tonight
I'm not in the mood
I'm not in the mood
Please don't rock me tonight
I'm not in the mood
Please don't rock me tonight
I'm not in the mood
------------------------------------------------------------------------
12: Everything's Ruined
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slow down
There's gonna be trouble
You're gonna forget
What you're doing
One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined
Hold on
You're gonna be sorry
You're gonna regret
What you're doing
One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined
And you ought to know
You ought to know
There's only one way this can go
You ought to know
You ought to know
All of the ups and downs, the highs and lows
Slow down
There's gonna be trouble
You're gonna forget
What you're doing
One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined
One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined
