1: My Name is Jonas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My name is Jonas! I'm carrying the wheel Thanks for all you've shown us But this is how we feel Come sit next to me, pour yourself some tea Just like grandma made, when we couldn't find sleep Things were better then Once but never again We've all left the den, let me tell you 'bout it The choo-choo train left right on time A ticket cost only your mind The driver said "Hey man, we go all the way" Of course we were willing to pay! My name is Wepeel ! Got a box full of your toys They're fresh out of batteries But you're still making noise! Making noise! Tell me what to do Now the tank is dry, now this wheel is flat, and you know what else! Guess what I received in the mail today Words of deep concern, for my little brother The building's not going as he planned... The foreman has injured his hand The dozer will not clear a path The driver swears he learned his math ! The workers are going home. Workers are going home. The workers are going home. The workers are going home. YEAH! The workers are going home. The workers are going home. The workers are going home. Yeah yeah yeah! My name is Jonas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2: No One Else ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My girl's got a big mouth, with which she blabbers a lot She laughs at most everything, whether its funny or not And if you see her, tell her its over now I want a girl who will laugh for no one else When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf When I'm away she never leaves the house I want a girl who laughs for no one else My girl's got eyeballs in the back of her head. She looks around and around, you know it makes me sad to see her like that Please don't believe her, she says that for anyone And if you see her, tell her it's late I want a girl who will laugh for no one else. When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf. When I'm away she never leaves the house. I want a girl who laughs for no one else. And if you see her, tell her its over now! And if you see her, tell her its over now. And if you watch a girl Wucha Wucha Wucha Wucha! I want a girl who will laugh for no one else. When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf. When I'm away she never leaves the house. I want a girl who laughs for no one else. No one else, yeah! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3: The World Has Left Me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place, an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I just made love with your sweet memory One thousand times in my head You said you loved it more than ever You said You remain, turned away, turning further every day.... The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place, an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I talked for hours to your wallet photograph And you just listened You laughed enchanted by my intellect Or maybe you didn't You remain, turned away, turning further every day.... The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place, an empty space Has filled the void behind my face You remain, turned away, turning further every day.... The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place, an empty space Has filled the void behind my face Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe... it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4: Buddy Holly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whats with these homies dissing my girl?

Lets go today, in a heartbeat! Heartbeat! Heartbeat! Don't bother to pack your bags, or your map You won't need them where we're going We're going where the wind is blowing Not knowing where we're going to stay Holiday Far away, to stay On a Holiday Far away. Lets go today, in a heartbeat! Heartbeat! Heartbeat! Heartbeat! Heartbeat! We will write a post card to our friends and family in free verse We will write a post card to our friends and family in free verse {In the word with carrol at, jot her in his pilgrim land and this road will never die...} We will write a post card to our friends and family in free verse Lets go away for a while You and I, to a strange and distant land Where they speak no word of truth But we don't understand anyway Holiday Far away, to stay On a Holiday Far away, to stay On a Holi! Lets go away/Far away Lets go away/to stay Lets go away/On a holi... Lets go away/Day, far away Lets go away/to stay In a heartbeat! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10: Only In Dreams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can't resist her She's in your bones She is your marrow, and your ride home You can't avoid her She's in the air In the air And in between molecules of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. Only in dreams, you'll see what it means Reach out our hands Hold on to hers But when we wake, it's all been erased And so it seems... only in dreams You walk up to her Ask her to dance She says "Hey baby, I just might take a chance." You say its a good thing That you float in the air In the air Up where there's no way I will crush Your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces Only in dreams, you'll see what it means Reach out our hands Hold on to hers But when we wake, it's all been erased And so it seems... only in dreams Only in dreams Only in dreams Only in dreams! Only in dreams! Only in dreams! Only in dreams
