Just One Thing

Baby, I don’t want to waste your time
Feeding you some bullshit line
I don’t want to tell no lies
Nothings, sweet or otherwise
There’s just one thing I want to do
I want to make love to you
I don’t want to wine and dine
Hear your tales or tell you mine
Nothing else I need to know
You only need to say hello
No chatting on the telephone
I only want to take you home
‘Cause there’s just one thing I want to do
I want to make love to you
Let’s avoid the cinema
And not go to a sushi bar
I only wanna ride in your canoe
Look at you come walking by
See that glimmer in your eye
Yeah, I like to see you smile
I’d like to be with you a while
Just one look and then I knew
And I can tell you feel it too
Yeah, I want to make you mine
I never saw a girl so fine
There’s just one thing I want to do
I want to make love to you

Danger Zone
06:31

Like water rushing in a stream
Like an incandescent dream
Like a butterfly in the month of May
Everything just floats away
Footsteps bounding down the hall
Bouncing like a rubber ball
A pair of boots, a pair of twins,
I could’ve handled anything
Deep thrombosis, mighty bass
Strand of hair across your face
That beat that made my heart perspire
Your body set my mind on fire
Rain clouds gather in the sky
Never had a reason why
You should’ve said, I didn’t know
I didn’t want to see you go
A photo on the telephone
Cross into the danger zone
A whip, a mace, a leather glove
Anything at all for love
Anything at all for you
If I only had a clue
What I did or what I said
If I could see inside your head
Dirty streets and dirty minds
Disobey the warning signs
Dislocated rendezvous
I send another message through
And I hope it reaches you
And I hope it reaches you
I send another message through
So you can tell me what to do
You flip my lid
You rock my boat
You turn me into a billy goat
I’m dancing naked just for you
I want to eat you like fondue
You set my inner monkey free
I’m climbing up the crazy tree
I tear my shirt, I throw my shoe
Tell me, baby, what to do
You send me spinning
Like a toy boat in a hurricane
Tsunami in my heart
Flushing through my brain
My knees go weak
My brain cells fry
My heart explodes into the sky
Like a rocket shooting through
The atmosphere to get to you
A thousand volts
Electric wire
A human torch
My hair’s on fire
Help me, baby, I’m turning blue
Tell me, baby, what to do
You send me spinning
Like a toy boat in a hurricane
Thunder in my heart
Rushing through my brain
You flip my lid
You rock my boat
My tongue goes thick inside my throat
The crazy things you do to me
I can’t think and I can’t see
I think you know the antidote
I don’t sink and I won’t float
Help me, baby, I’m turning blue
Tell me, baby, what to do
I only want to be with you
Tell me, baby, what to do

The Bozone
05:44

|
It was out in the Bozone
Pine trees and cow bones
Huntley/Brinkley, old canoe
All the minutes slipping through
Big Sky mountain, valley town
I like to ride my bike around
Down on Main Street, up on Grand
Bird just inches from the hand
I brush my teeth with cheese
Espresso is my floss
I do just as I please
No one is my boss
I do what no one wants
I answer questions no one's asked
My sofa bed is glorious
The future comes at last
The future comes at last
Squeezing out the Crest again
Thinking of the now and then
Lazy lunchbox, afternoons
Braces, lip gloss, cherry spoons
Bubblegum geometry
Popcorn, pizza pie
Do you ever google me
My, how the time does fly
The kind of hat with ear flaps
Is the kind I used to wear
Now I like to feel the wind
Blowing through my hair
Look out, pretty lady
I bet you think I’m weird
Turn around and look again
The future’s disappeared
The future’s disappeared
Let’s go back up to your room
And practice making out
Go climb up my apple tree
And hear the bluebird shout
Take this pig to market
The arrow flies at noon
I’ll meet you at the fieldhouse
On the flipside of the moon
The cats are in the cat box
The band is up on stage
The wax is on the moustache
The words are on the page
The lamb is in the meadow
The cows are in the corn
The queen is in the parlor
The future’s being born
The future’s being born
Up the river, back in time
To the first line of the rhyme
Before its match was met below
How did it know which way to go
Sandwiched in the present
Filed like a nail
You know where to find me
Out on the dusty trail
It’s time to do your homework
It’s time to settle down
It’s time to get up off your butt
It’s time to move around
And when the crows are calling
And when the clock strikes ten
It’s time to turn to the next page
The future starts again
The future starts again

Hadn't Oughta
04:03

The lights were much too bright there
The music swam around
I can’t remember when I saw her
But I remember what she found
Her eyes were red as Frisbees
I heard the lightning crash
A storm of perfect fury
A goddess and her wrath
Well, we hadn’t oughta done it, we did it anyway
The rocket’s taken off, there’s nothing more to say
You can’t turn back the clock and start at yesterday
The chips are blowing in the wind and all will fall away
Down into the wet streets feeling kind of weird
Trailing into darkness, rainfall in my beard
I ducked into a doorway and I thought that I was clear
But you know I got it wrong, it was worse than I had feared
Smoke is curling round my ears, I think I’ve heard enough
Sweeper sweeping sidewalks, loosely piled fluff
The stars are moving brightly in the early morning air
Picking up the pieces, shake the idea from my hair
Well, we hadn’t oughta done it, we did it anyway
The rocket’s taken off, there’s nothing more to say
You can’t turn back the clock and start at yesterday
The chips are blowing in the wind and all will fall away

Ode To SEPTA

I pinned my dreams to the city bus
But it seems like they forgot about us
I’ve been standing out here since half past eight
And, wouldn’t you know it, the bus is late
If it came right now that would sure be great
But all I can do is stand and wait
I had to go downtown for an interview
I had my shirt tucked in and my tie on, too
With hope in my heart and time to spare
I went to the corner but the bus wasn’t there
I stood on that corner for way too long
By the time I arrived, that job was gone
Friday night I went to meet my girl
I was gonna take her to the top of the world
But the flowers I got, they turned from red to brown
I never got that night on the town
That girl said we needed some time apart
City bus, you broke my heart
Out on the corner there’s nothing to see
I've got someplace I need to be
Standing here checking the clock
Five more minutes and I’m gonna walk
Those busses come by one two three
Unless you have somewhere to be
You could bake to death in the heat of the sun
A puddle of sweat by the time it comes
And you know for sure when the rain does fall
You’ll never see a bus at all
