I'm learning to love
The sound of my feet
Walking away from
Troubles I don't need
I'm not gonna do it any more
All I have to give is love
And I'm not sure that's ever enough
All I have to do is walk away
From things that look too tough
I'm not gonna do it any more
I don't like the way things are headed
Complication setting in, need to simplify my life
I don't want to be told what to do
And I'm not gonna do it any more
I've built a pile of stuff
I never needed in the first place
I guess I won!
I never even knew the score
Everyone acts to protect
the things they have
Until they find there was
So much more to be had
I'm not gonna do it any more
I'm fed up with the way things are
Complications setting in, need to simplify my life
I'm sick and tired of being told what to do
And I'm not gonna do it any more

When you try to figure it out
Wondering what you're all about
One day you'll understand
that I'll be your man
Don't you think it touches me
To hear you cry out loud
To watch you be run over
By the crowd
And when you're feeling so terribly blue
Always remember I'll always be true
You think when the times get tough
I might be on my way
You think when I've had enough
My eyes will start to stray
Before you think much further now
There's something I think you should know
Nothing on earth that I wouldn't give for
Nothing worth half as much to live for
Nothing I do that I wouldn't do for you
Cuz who could do better than you
Nobody better than you...
When you try to sort it all out
Wondering what we're all about
One day you'll understand
that I'll be your man

Chameleon Boy,
you're forever changing,
forever hanging your hangups on me
Chameleon Boy
I got no more time
To cater to the dreams you think will set you free
Chameleon Boy
While I appreciate your style
It's my patience that you try
Chameleon Fool
When you're feeling joyful
You can spread the sun
But you change with every passing wind
Chameleon Fool
Chameleon Boy
You're forever losing,
forever choosing new and different ways
Chameleon Boy
Got no more time to cater to
The shattered dreams of yesterday
Chameleon Boy
Chameleon Boy
While I appreciate your style
It's my patience that you try
Chameleon Fool
When you're feeling joyful
You can spread the sun
But you change with every passing wind
Chameleon Fool

All Hung Up
02:43
|

I don't know why
but you've captured me just to set me free
It makes me mad --- Why should I feel so sad?
It's hard to bear
To see you there a million miles away from me
Dreaming where you'd rather be...
I don't know what's going on any more
Watching you walk out the door
Feeling lost and blue
Guess I'm all hung up on you
Day after day
I've been waiting here so patiently for you
To come back to me
Night after night
Dreaming empty sleepless lonely dreams
wondering how it could have been...

Rendezvous Lovers

I'm seeing a girl
She's really the rage
Says she's real vinyl
I think she's real front-page
Claimed by another
So we're real undercover
Meeting discreetly
Rendezvous Lovers
She said not to worry
My story's just fine
But we gotta hurry
There's never much time
Climbing up back stairs
We're real undercover
Meeting discreetly
Rendezvous Lovers
Rendezvous Lovers
Rendezvous Lovers
Rendezvous Lovers
Rendezvous Lovers

I'm Ok, You're Ok
03:50
|

You think you are such a nun
I know you could be lots of fun
You see you're so innocent
I see you in that moral tent
And though my body keeps telling me lies
Things will be different when my pilot light's out
I know my pinups cause me to perceive your mind as gorgeous
What could I be thinking about?
I've had lot's of fantasies of women who would beg me “please”
I've had blueprints and hotel room keys
Passionate screams on a carnal breeze
And as I spy you considering me
My glands just throb with ecstasy
A draftsman's life is very nice but you're architecture today
Another thing altogether
Ever since the 7th grade, it's been just a little lust parade
And you, you might have felt the same if daddy didn't have you spayed
I see you're just a cardboard box
A receptacle for these meaning less talks
I see you're just a windowpane
I look through you on clouded days
And penetrate you in so many ways
That estrogen mistress, man's best friend
That estrogen mistress, man's best friend
My little friend.
Ever since the 7th grade, it's been just a little lust parade
And you, you might have felt the same if daddy didn't have you spayed
So don't deny me, don't send me home
It doesn't excite me to be alone
And please accept me, and be my wife
If you don't want trouble accept my life, accept my life

Skyshades

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la Ooh la la la
The moon's in your head
So your eyes shine with night light
The stars in your hair
Help me make it through the dark night
Picturesque postcards
Of you out of line
And silver black satin
To show me the like
So sing me a skyshade of blue
And dance me a picture of you
Paint me a song colored green
And only you'll know what it means
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la Ooh la la la
Lorelei
Conducive to laughter
That's really quite rare
Got stars on my ceiling
To show you just how much I care
So sing me a skyshade of blue
And dance me a picture of you
Paint me a song colored green
And only you'll know what it means
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la Ooh la la la

Everybody Wants To Be Me
02:05
|
|||
I drew a line around a space
A circle formed to take it's place
When I turned around to flee
The circle had encompassed me
Walking on a tightrope with my head in a noose
Dancing on the tension, trying to shake loose
Everybody says it's not a great place to be
But now everybody wants to be me
Moving forward way too fast
People say that it can't last
But if you were me and I were you
I'd wanna be you...
Ain't it cold how things get old
And fade away before their due
Ain't it sad when things got mad
To find I couldn't depend on you
People ask me, “Bill, how does it feel
to be under the wheels of a moving train?”
Everybody says it's not a great place to be
But now everybody wants to be me
Moving forward way too fast
People say that it can't last
But if you were me and I were you
I'd wanna be you...

Look at me, oh lady won't you look at me
Tired of gazing, and I'm really eager to please
I'm dying for you to take liberties
You're just a charge-account shopping spree
When my credits revoked
It makes me feel so free
Look at me oh lady won't you look at me
I'm tired of waiting, and I know you're getting tired of Steve
You could take me so seriously
These ocean-side romances make me feel so free
When the rip tides come
And carry you out to sea
My heart shoots craps
It can feel
We agreed to loaded dice
I'm really glad you arrived
Your halter top fits you really nice
Look at me oh lady won't you look at me
With your digital watch, check the time until you're tired of me
You could take me so seriously
You're just a charge-account shopping spree
When you're credit's revoked
It makes you feel so free

Just Pass Me By
02:22
|

Just pass me by, like you’ve done it before
Just pass me by, I won't be asking for more
Every day I’m down on my knees
Praying to god for somebody won't please help me
You know?
Just pass me by, someday I’ll get up off the floor
Somebody to love, if not, then what is it for?
Every day I go down on my knees
Praying to god, won't somebody please help me
You know?
Money & love, both nice, but what is it for?
When you can’t find the key to open your front door
Maybe then I'll get off of my knees
Praying to god for somebody please to help you
You know?

I Know What You're Doing
02:43
|

I know what you’re doing hanging out downtown
I know what you’re doing now that I’m not around
Down on the corner, hanging out on the street
Down on the corner, all the people you meet
I know what you’re doing and I know it’s not right
I know what you’re doing, but it’s not worth the fight
I know what you’re doing, you can’t fool me
I know what you’re doing, I don’t like what I see
I see you
You may not want me to
But I can’t help see through
You, me, who?
You can’t have it both ways,
I just have to say
I know what you’re doing, I know what you’re doing
I know what you’re doing, I know what you’re doing
And I know
What it’s doing to me…
I know what you’re doing and it can’t last long
I know what you’re doing, and it’s feeling so wrong
I know what you’re doing, and it’s something to see
I know what you’re doing
I don’t like what I see
I know what you’re doing, got my eyes on you
I get reports every minute, every hour on the hour
Every day of the week.
I see you
You may not want me to
But I can’t help see through
You, me, who?
You can’t have it both ways,
I just have to say
You know I know what you’re doing
You know I know what you’re doing
And I know what it’s doing to me

Rough One
02:49
|

You ask me to spank you when you're bad
You measure your pleasure by the size of pain you've had
You're a rough one, looking for a tough kind of love
I've had enough now, I don't know what I've been thinking of
You take all deliveries to the rear
You're not happy 'til you're all in tears
You're a rough one, looking for a tough kind of love
I've had enough now, I don't know what I've been thinking of
You're too tough for me
You play way too rough for me
That's quite enough for me
And no more whippings please
You want to be beaten, whipped and chained and more
All that kissy-face stuff leaves you bored
You're a rough one, looking for a tough kind of love
I've had enough now, I don't know what I've been thinking of
You're too tough for me
You play way too rough for me
That's quite enough for me
And no more whippings please

Thanks a Lot
03:01

You never show when you say you're coming over
You don't even call, why don't you just say it
We make the big plans, only later they're smaller
Why can't you just say you don't want to do it
Thanks for the thoughtfulness
Thanks for the time
Thanks for wasting all of mine
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot!
You're never home when expecting me over
You don't leave a note, why don't you just say it?
We make the big plans, but I guess you forgot
Why can't you just say you don't want to do it?
Thanks for the thoughtfulness
Thanks for the time
Thanks for wasting all of mine
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot!

Somebody to Love
02:34

not the kind of girl
that gets second looks on the street
She's 6 foot 3, 280
(so not too petite)
Can do more work in a day
Than 10 men in a week
Smokes cigars, eats garlic raw
And never critiques
Just another person
Looking for somebody to love
8 billion people on earth
Gonna find somebody to love
Got muscles that would shame
Any modern Mr. Physique
No one kicks sand in her face
at the beach
Got a crew cut, chews tobacco,
Has a 5 o'clock growth on her face
Not concerned with fashion trends
Avoids anyone with style or taste
Just another person
Looking for somebody to love
8 billion people on earth
Gonna find somebody
somebody to love

Tomorrow is Another Day
02:09
|

When you look at me
Don't know what to say
Something happens to me
Words get in the way
Who knows what's wrong
When feeling warm desire
It feels so right
You're the fuel for my fire
I'll take my chances
Let come what may
Tonight is tonight and tomorrow is another day
When you look at me
Words get in the way
Something happens to me
Please don't go away
How do I know if what I'm feeling tonight is real?
I don't know if it's right, It's just the way that I feel
I won't tell you what to do or say
Tonight is tonight
Tomorrow is another day
I won't tell you what to do or say
Tonight is tonight
Tomorrow is another day
