DATING DAYS

Three women in thirty days Tell me seriously
Our dating days Are over and done  Our dating days are dead and gone
Thirty women in three days Tell me permanently
Our dating days Our dating days it was fun but now it's gone
Our dating days are just  a phase  Did you hear, hear me clearly
It seems that no matter how much I drink I still seem to stay sober
It seems that no matter how young I am I seem to still feel older
Three men are going to hell Thirty women are going to jail
Jonah swore he swallowed the whale Thirty thirsty women
Three hundred women in three hour Told me boy forget the flowers
Christ told a man called Legion Come into the fold and start preachin'
Your devil days are over and gone Your weary days are dead and done
Your happiness has begun        Your happiness has begun
Did you hear me clearly       Did you hear me clearly


LIES

Well I'm reading this poem and it's so profound And I like it's rhythm and I
I like it's sound It's by a very famous poet no critic can criticise
And then I pause a moment and I start to realize He's tellin lies lies lies

On the motel T.V. I dig the evangelist He'll tell you all about that
And then he tell you all about this He's preachin' up a storm by the sea of Galilee
He's mixin' up the truth with something funny I start to see He's tellin lies lies lies

I never had this problem with nobody in the government
I guess I always figured they never mean what they meant
And GOD help us all not to be so stone surprised When we wake up in the stars
with the skies In our eyes if we keep tellin' lies lies lies

NIGHTMARES

It seems that the problem is very deep 'Cause everytime I try to sleep
I have nightmares Thinking about getting together with you
It seems that the problem is very deep 'Cause everytime I go to sleep
I have nightmares Thinking about getting together with you
Thinking about getting back together again with you

No no I wouldn't say so I would not call it a curse
But what worries me then Is when I wake up if it might be worse

Oh every time i take my sleeps then you come and give me the creeps
in my nightmares Thinking about getting together with you
Oh every time fall asleep then you come and give me the creeps
in my nightmares Thinking about getting together with you
Thinking about getting back together again with you

FAT

I hope you got fat,  I hope you got really fat   'Cause if you got really really fat
You just might want to see me come back         I hope you got fat
I don't care I don't care how heavy or how skinny
I don't care no I don't care no how heavy or how skinny
Just gimme gimme something to love A little extra weight Would never look
no nicer on nobody else but you And I could always use a little bit more
to hold on to And If I get a fright in the middle of the night I'll cling to you

FOOL IN THE FULL MOON

I've been following women all afternoon Don't turn around to soon
I've been following you all afternoon Following you A fool in the full moon
Something's got a hold on me When I get a hold on you Following women after dark
Nobody knows what's in my heart
Let your loving be I'm a lechery I do not spread leprosy
I will not touch But let me see Following you A fool in the full moon
My building's burning down and I cannot breathe
Following you who won't believe Perfect peace I cannot perceive
When I'm following you I'm a fool in the full moon

JUST LIKE MY FATHER

I'm just like my father But I am much worse He hurt his mother I hurt mine worse
I'm just like my brother But I am much worse He hurt his wife I hurt mine first
It hurts It hurts It hurts to be like Cain  Ain't no way I'm not able Y'know what I mean
I'm just like my father But I am much worse He hurt my mother I hurt her worse!
I'm just like my brother But I am much worse He hurt his wife I hurt mine first
Never stop the never stopping

MOTHER OF A GIRL

You look like you could be the mother of a girl, a girl I hated more
than any other girl in the world The way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace
I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face No I'm not joking, yes I was choking
You look like you could be the mother of a girl, a girl I loved more
than any other girl in the world The way that I treated her was totally a crime
I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind  No I'm not joking, yes I was choking
You look like you could be the mother of a boy, a boy who bored me more
Than any other man in the land The way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk
I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt  No I'm not joking, yes I was choking

NOTHING WORTH LIVING FOR

There's nothing worth living for tonight
Tell me that there's something worth living for tonight
Don't let me down Don't let me drown
The pain is somewhere very close to me

OUTSIDE THE PALACE

I've been outside the palace I've been outside the gate
I still don't feel I made any mistake
When I got off that train I felt my feet hit the ground
I didn't want to go where that gravy train was bound
GOD help me to see I've been loved all along
And not get too confused between the moonlight and the dawn
If I go back to the palace I'll walk right thru' the gate
Nobody knows how much here was at stake
I might get on that train, feel the wheel on the track
Move it up the mountain like a foregone fact
GOD help me to know I've been in love my whole life
And not to get so confused between the struggle and the strife

SEE MY SHIPS

See my ships They are sailing in and out of the harbour
Will they go together or must they stay apart Yes I know it's in my heart
Surely you see what's inside of me
Jesus is coming soon I can hear Gabriel blow his trumpet tune
This I know our lord is coming soon
Mercy mercy me Marvin Gaye was shot by his father O my father have mercy on me
Cold kane O my cheap thrill O my shame for Cain and the devil
Momma I need water I'm thirsty Surely you see what's inside of me

TELEPHONE BOOK

I look at my telephone book I can't stand the way it look I hate to think the way
you took Me down into a burning rage I wrote your name on every page
But you don't return my calls I'm ready to bust down these walls I'm going down
Niagara Falls in a barrel of fun Hey ain't I a lucky one you don't return my calls
My telephone is the color red The red is all in my head Some things are better left unsaid
Is that why you don't try To acknowledge or reply why you don't return my calls
Did you hear from an old friend I knew once way back when
I did some bad things to myself and my health Or did you happen to hear an old song
I once sang Did it make your sweet sweet blood run cold in your veins
And will you never think of me the same

WORLD WE'RE LIVING IN

I can't go out no more I just better stay at home
I can't go out no more I just better stay all alone
Cause what am I gonna do If I see someone I'd like to do something to
What am I gonna say If I see someone I want to say something to
What am I gonna If I see someone who'd like to do something too
I can't help being careful Did you notice the world that we're living in
Did you notice, did you see Something might happen to me
Did you notice a chill in the wind Did you notice the world that we're living in
People are dying just because they had a little
Girlfriend..... Is not my girlfriend   My neighbor is not my lover
Boyfriend is not my boyfriend My brother is not my lover
Behavior is not my behavior My neighbor is not my savior
Didn't you notice the world that we're living in
