Kara's Flowers--The Fourth World

Soap Disco
==========

The crowd was getting old
The disco's back or so I'm told
There's really nothing here
Except a pair of tired ears and we say

Hey mama
I'm something
Check it out
See what it's all about cause this is
Soap Disco
So charming
See the floor from a cleaner point of view

The kid's were set to go
We're rockin' new to something old
Just look around the scene and you'd see

Bright lights and
Clean colors
Check it out
See what it's all about cause this is
Soap Disco
So charming
See the floor from a cleaner point of view

Future Kid
==========


Getting closer to the swine
Contemplating over wine
Are you sure we have the time
Hope that we can make new kinds

The nation's grabbed you
Persuade you to stay
But when they stabbed
They started to play

Green is stunningly in store
Teddy ruxpin is a whore
Class is this new product here
Purchase your's they'll disappear

The nation's grabbed you
Persuade you to stay
But when they stabbed
They started to play
The nation's grabbed you
Persuade you to stay
And what have you
They started to play
The nation's grabbed you
Persuade you to stay
But when they stabbed
They started to play
The nation's grabbed you
We'll stay away
But when they stabbed you
Started to play
Yeah 

Myself
========

I have told
all of my enemies
very politely
to go home

I have seen
all of your remedies
now won't you let me please
go home

I can't find anything
to be sad about
they say I'm doomed
but I feel fine

I have tried
so very hard as hell
to stay away from hell
and live upstairs

But when I see
all of your remedies
I try quite desperately
to go home

I can't find anything
to be sad about
They say I'm doomed
but I feel fine

But if I'm sitting here lonely
with no one to hold me
at lease I'll have my health
I'm trying to control myself

I have told
all of my enemies
very politely
to go home

I have seen
all of your remedies
now won't you let me please
go home

I've been acting irresponsibly
but what could possibly
go wrong

I have choked
on all your remedies
now won't you let me please
go home

SOLO

but if I'm sitting here
lonely by myself
I can't control myself
I'm trying to control
myself!


Oliver
=======

I was overblown by all the card sharks.
And the muggers that day

Several million lovers
of that dress that's in the window display
And every day they'd say

Oliver
Oliver
Oliver
Oliver don't stay

She was quite a woman
Quite an understanding woman she was
Sure I really loved her
But she acted like a mother to me
And she loved me and I'd scream

Nancy
Nancy
Nancy
Please take care of me

Oliver, Oliver
Oliver, Oliver
Oliver


Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh


I was overblown by all the card sharks
And the muggers that day


Several million lovers
of that dress that's in the window display
And every day they'd say


Oliver
Oliver
Oliver
Oliver don't stay


The Never Saga
==============

She was at home and feeling fine
The family life it was divine
She sat alone with tired eyes
patiently listening to the sighs

I found out
I found out
She never has the time
I found out
to make his demons

They snatched her willingly she left
They wondered why she'd accepted that
She knew that she'd be saved but how
She knew that future kid was on the prowl

I found out
I found out
We could both run wild
I found out
me and future's child

I found out
I found out
We could both run wild
I found out
Me and future's child
I found out
Never's far too long
for me to sing this song


Loving the Small Time
==================

Save our lives
Can't revive
Your magic place is nearing hell
Set it straight 
Can't relate
I hope your friends treat you well

All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling
All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling


You saved our lives
And took our dives
You waited for the time to sell

All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling

All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling

Save our lives
Can't revive
Your magic place is nearing hell
Set it straight
Can't relate
I hope your friends treat you well

All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling
All the waiting
Killing fading
And I'm falling
I'm falling

Yeah
Yeah

Save our lives
Save our lives
Save our lives


To Her, With Love
=================

See my dear I'm thinking of you
My how she has grown
her building blocks have all gone home
And being there is always where
I'll be
You'll see

Take your doll
House dreams and make them real
I've seen the sun
I'll guide your
inspirations along
And don't let them stop you from being someone's friend
Don't bend

I hope you
always keep your hand this close to mine
And I hope you
never hesitate to wonder why
Wonder why
Wonder why
If you need a shoulder mine is here
And I love you
And no one can tell you what to do
And roses and diamonds could never take
the place
of your face
I hope you
never hesitate to wonder why
wonder why
wonder why


Sleepy Windbreaker
==================

We filled the day with careless displays
Going sailing with nothing to say
When I fell
We could tell

Now you're torn apart
The sun's driving fast
Taking photographs
It's morning at last
And the sailors are taking a stand
With their heads buried deep in the sand

Feeling well
Life is swell
When I fell
We could tell
Hooray
When I fell
We could tell
Feeling well
Life is swell

Pantry Queen
============

Your wind blows
Your mind falls down
Just give me
The time to drown

Your wind blows
Your mind falls down
Just give me
The time to drown

The boys are
digging the ground
But I can't stop spinning around

One day you will let me be
What I wanted you to be

The boys are 
stopping the ground
from taking
those things we found
Someday you will let me see
all of the things we used to see

Someday you will let me be
all of the things we used to be
Someday you will let me be
the champ you wanted her to see

My Ocean Blue
=============

I once heard Captain Dan tell me a story
about this lovely girl who's name was Jane
She was deep and vast and filled with glory
Aaaahhhh
Her bottom served as home for hull and anchor
She's always fit to quarrel with the wind
The great Titanic yes it's she that sank her
Aaaahhhh
Then she heard me
Say that oath that
made everything clear
I love you you
My ocean blue
I like the way your sea sees me
My darling Jane
She speaks to me at times thru falling rain
Now twas time to manifest her vigor
Was she fit to quarrel with the wind?
The air was strong but Jane she was much bigger
Aaaaahhhh
Then she heard me
say that oath that
made everything clear
I love you
My ocean blue
I like the way your sea sees me
My darling Jane
My darling Jane
My darling Jane
I speak to you at times thru falling rain
I speak to you at times thru falling rain

Captain Splendid
================

Nobody cares
about ocean affairs
He's by himself 'cause nobody loves him
Cleaning his sand
Filled boots with his hand
Looking for something but nothing sees him

Happy was he
in spite of his knee
That wasn't there because of his day job
There was a man
who took to the band
paying attention tried to adhere him

And he ran
And he shot
But his rivals were sharp
And the kids
in the sand
struggled finding a plan

Seemingly fine
he slipped on his wine
Terra was healthy but not on a mission

There was a sea
A mythical tease
Our cannons were shot
"til we couldn't afford them

Others would have died alone
Angels all worked free
Timeless fairs and sing-alongs
Speaking naturally

And he ran
And he shot
But his rivals were sharp
And the kids
in the sand
struggled deep hand in hand
All the way
from the bay
I could hear them say
All the time
we were dead
And I'm Cap' Splendid

And he ran
And he shot
But his rivals were sharp
And the kids
in the sand
struggled deep hand in hand
All the way
from the bay
I could hear them say
I don't care
if we're dead
And I'm Cap Splendid
