Some Things Never Change (cassette version)
. . .



girl of my dreams she don't love me
always the way it seems to be
my baby doll
light of my life she turns it on
over my head not close enough
my baby doll
baby doll
you look so good
baby doll
you feel so big
baby doll
you let me have it
why did you do it baby doll
quick-tempered queen knows what she wants
and what I got is what its not
my baby doll


. . .



i'm a disco dancer
but i've got no place to go
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
im a disco dancer baby
but my feet wont touch the floor
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
oh no
i've been sleeping twenty years or more
I remember a long time ago
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
nya nya nya nya
now im back to change your mind
now im moving right in time
in a world that's turned unkind
I see what's going on behind my back
im a disco dancer
I keep dancin' on and on
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
oh no
im a disco dancer baby
but I think that something's wrong


. . .



some things never change
hang your head
I saw the news today o boy
a thousand stories that we've seen before
small minds play at some big time games
and everybody else pays
make no mistake they're on the take
they like to keep it that way
some things never change
I saw the light today o boy
it come on flashing bright in red and blue
the man steps in with a terminal grin
blue skies turn to grey
young men die and children cry
why is it always the same

life must be eaten
or at least bitten into
to get past the surface
the moment of truth
you know when its right
Lyricsits sweet deep inside
its real and its better
that some things don't change

I saw the news today o boy
a thousand pictures of the lies we live
small minds play at some big time games
and everybody else pays
they're on the take and they don't give breaks
they like to take it away
some things never change
hang your head


. . .



who are you and who am I
except a couple of people
wasting lots of time
worrying about the future
forever asking why
some people go on living
while others die before their time
yet there's never been a reason
whatever is is right
if only just because
its much too big a fight
like the painter who is way ahead
or worse still far behind
you only punch yourself out
when you start swinging blind

these are the things too often gone unsaid
these are the things that keep
you better off than dead
these are the things that keep running through your head
woo oooo
Lyricsthese are the things too often gone unsaid

who are you and who am I
except a couple of people
with nothing else to do
but follow vain obsessions
making gestures towards the truth
while trying to ignore it
when its convenient to
the symbols we believe in
sometimes turn inside out
reshaping each dimension
were so sure about
dreams get so frustrated
fantasies turn pranks
a simple ounce of common sense
is money in the bank.


. . .



well its an open road
and its full of life
but it stops somewhere
cause time keeps ticking away

let me tell you about a boy
an average spud
he was twice in love
with two very different girls
knowing life was short
he told them both the truth
but they already knew

now he's a happy guy

well its a random turn
on a game show wheel
and it stops somewhere
cause time keeps ticking away

let me tell you about a man
a tragic case
love kicked in his face
he shriveled up and died
from a broken heard
reincarnated as a work of art
he's got a brand new start
hey!
Now he's a happy guy.


. . .


You know I can be found sitting home all alone
If you can't come around at least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well baby, if I made you mad something that I might have said
Please just forget the past the future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't want no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Ah let's go to a preacher and let us say I do
Then you'll know you have me and I'll know I got you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't need no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't want no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of

dr. jekyll
and mr. Hyde
a real nice guy with a na na n-na nasty side
in trouble
he tried to hide from himself
good gawd
sad man
couldn't face up to the yin and the yang
everybody
all of us got a shadow

who knows what lurks in the hearts of men
the shadow knows
we become what we do not what we pretend

between the intention and the expression
between the emotion and the response
falls the shadow

sometimes I fail to follow through
on things that I want to do
Lyricsother times I find myself doing the very things I hate.

Reverend jimmy
and Tammy belle
big time pumpers with a story to tell
wait a minute
their fingers pointing at you
pay attention
listen up
don't try to deny it or cover it up
everybody
all of us got a shadow


. . .



hell is where you put me
and hell is where you're going to
until the next life
I say this twisted prayer for you
may the torment you put out
come back around twice multiplied.

Even though you let me go
I've got to let you know
I'd cry if you died.

The past is where you see me
the past is what will bring you down
destiny a moon eclipsed
in the shadows all is darkness now
may the evil in your heart
be your one and only friend for life

you pretend I don't exist
I have to let you know
I'd cry if you died
Lyrics
somewhere special
voices form words
and the words have meaning
so I reach out for someone new
and I wonder
will it ever be alright
(then I hear you secret radio
signaling that its time to go)

hell is where you put me
and hell is where well meet again
I will be waiting
to repeat a scene that never ends
molten pools of mockery
reflect a million sleepless nights
even though you acted low
I've got to let you know
I'd cry if you died


. . .



I grew up in a typical way
so I keep trying to unwind
cause I'm agitated
in this place so full of hate
I keep trying to unwind
you might think it's pretty obvious
so tell me what I say, hey!

I way born in a typical way
so I keep trying to go back
and I'm agitated
in this world so full of pain
I keep trying to go back
you might think its pretty infantile
so tell me what I know, hey!

Day and night forever trading places
good and evil sleeping side by side
in this world full of plenty of stuff
you'd think there'd be enough love to go around, hey!

LyricsI was picked in a random way
to be a singing dancing fool
and I'm agitated
in this place going less than great
I', just a singing dancing fool
if you don't like what I keep talking about
then tell me what I say, hey!
I'm agitated
if you think you got it all worked out
then tell me what to know, ho!
I'm agitated
tell me what I say
do the mashed potatoes
tell me what I say
I'm feeling amputated
educated
I'm agitated


. . .



if you ever had a clue
you never acted like you knew
when you took away the reasons
and you chopped my heart in two
once you start to doubt
when you don't know what it's about
its time to read the warning signs
of a man turned inside out

for a guy needs a good reason
something to prod him on
when you chopped me up like liver
it all started going wrong

so I bought a fiberglass helmet and
some goggles to match
I'm a human bullet baby
and you haven't seen the last
of a man turned inside out
I'm a man turned inside out

so I got myself a position
and I'm working my way up
took a three way lucky number
now I'm heading to the top
once you start to doubt
when you don't know what it's about
it's time to read the warning signs
of a man turned inside out


. . .



remember luv
sexi luv
its a breath of fresh air
on a day when the sun isn't shining
it's like a rose that grows
through the concrete in the middle
of a parking deck

remember luv
sexi luv

a smile as wide as a semi
burning bright as the lights on a highway
its the city that never sleeps
where I wander like a tourist
with my camera in hand

remember luv
its all around you
so let your sexi feelings grow
luv
sexi luv


. . .



when I see you
I want to holler
you make me steamy
under the collar
you - you know you're my
sweet hot Chihuahua
if I can't have you
I'm gonna get blowed up
said blow up
hot Chihuahua
why don't you treat me to
your special flavors
I can reciprocate with
some special favors
your such a hazard but
you are my pleasure
don't get me boiled up or
I'm gonna blow up


. . .
