Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries
Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
No more!
No more!
Nothing!
No more!
No more!
Ever!
No!
More!
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter patty valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, my god, they killed them all!
Here comes the story of the hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
Three bodies lyin there does patty see
And another man named bello, movin around mysteriously.
I didnt do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only robbin the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin, he says, and he stops
One of us had better call up the cops.
And so patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin
In the hot new jersey night.
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin carter and a couple of friends are drivin around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda s~!+ was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In paterson thats just the way things go.
If youre black you might as well not show up on the street
less you wanna draw the heat.
Alfred bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and arthur dexter bradley were just out prowlin around
He said, I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates.
And miss patty valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, wait a minute, boys, this ones not dead
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.
Four in the mornin and they haul rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin eye
Says, whad you bring him in here for? he aint the guy!
Yes, heres the story of the hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubins in south america, fightin for his name
While arthur dexter bradleys still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin the screws to him, lookin for somebody to blame.
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
You think youd like to play ball with the law?
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin that night?
Dont forget that you are white.
Arthur dexter bradley said, Im really not sure.
Cops said, a poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and were talkin to your friend bello
Now you dont wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
Youll be doin society a favor.
That sonofab$&&! is brave and gettin braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He aint no gentleman jim.
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
Its my work, hed say, and I do it for pay
And when its over Id just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.
All of rubins cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made rubins witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy n!+*~%.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The d.a. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.
Rubin carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Bello and bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fools hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldnt help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While rubin sits like buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
Thats the story of the hurricane,
But it wont be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time hes done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, Come on, Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
(solo)
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
but I have become comfortably numb.
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin and the joint began to swing.
You shouldve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

We're in a road movie to Berlin.
Cant drive out the way you drove in,
So sneak out this glass of bourbon,
And we'll go.
We were once so close to heaven,
Peter came out and gave us medals,
Declaring us the nicest of the damned.
You said you were the king of liars,
And I believed you and called you sire,
But I realize now that I have been deceived.
We're in a road movie to Berlin.
Cant drive out the way you drove in,
So sneak out this glass of bourbon,
And we'll go.
You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now you're desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, I'm perfect in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?
cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that youre needing me is just the time
That I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... you wanna know why?
I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside, maybe its something I cant explain
cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
But if youll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
They're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will never tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
Im a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I'll promise
Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me
Learning more and more about less and less and less
On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
Can you memorize the scenes
They'll be different next week
Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is
Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have
Come along for the ride you just know you should
You just know you should
Can you tell can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is
Hated to see you sad when I left
There's just no good in that but the good part was
That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out
Into the lives of the new
I want you to come along for the ride
How long will you stay for your whole life
You just know you should
Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is
Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me
Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me
when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find
love and peace of mind
On these streets again
will it ever end
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Cant see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light
Cant wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what theyll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
Ill find my way from wrong, whats real?
The dream I see
You see me now, a veteran
Of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary
Why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free
You see me now a veteran
Of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
And I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

Shake me, shake it, dont break it baby
Shake me, all night, she said
All night long
All night long baby
Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And thats all I seem to do
That no one should desert you
And thats all I seem to do
I got to tell you, goodbye mama
Weve taken this too far
Been trying to tell you whats going on
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
Its all I came to do
Its all I came to do
Now Im down in the light
And I must be dreaming it
Cause I see clearly, I see angels here
Bringing something to me, mother mercy
I told a lie, I didnt mean it
Goodbye mama, Ive taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah
I dont want to hurt you

Thats all... been down a long
Been down a long, long way
Torn like an old dollar bill
Screaming Trees
Way down yonder in Louisville
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
I wants ta tell ya
Ah, the cat was rough and tough he would strut his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death
When he walked by, they all held their breath
He's a fightin' man, sure enough
And then Bill got himself a wife, now he leads a different life
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
They say that heaven is like TV
A perfect little world that doesn't really need you
And everything there is made of light
And the days keep going by
Well it was one of those days larger than life
When your friends came to dinner and they stayed the night
And then they cleaned out the refrigerator
They ate everything in sight
And then they stayed up in the living room
And they cried all night
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old stories
They're haunting me
This is nothing like I thought it would be.
Well I was out in my four door with the top down.
And I looked up and there they were
Millions of tiny teardrops just sort of hanging there
And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
And I said to myself
What next big sky?
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Their spare change falls on top of me
Rain falling
Falling all over me
All over me
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old Stories
They're haunting me
Big changes are coming
Here they come

I was born in a house with the television always on.
Guess I grew up too fast,
And I forgot my name.
We're in cities at night and we got time on our hands.
So leave the driving to us.
And its the real thing.
And you're rolling
In the blender
With me.
And I can love you
Like a color
TV.
Now love is here!
Cmon and try it!
I got love for sale!
Got love for sale.
And now love is here!
Cmon and try it!
Got love for sale,
Got love for sale!
You can put your lipstick all over my designer jeans.
I'll be a video for you,
If you turn my dial.
You can cash my check if you go down to the bank (Down at the bank)
You get two for one
For a limited time.
Push my button...
The toast pops up
Love and money
Gettin' all
Mixed up.
And now love is here,
Cmon and try it.
I got love for sale,
Got love for sale.
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish ways
I know every type of love
better far than they
If you want the thrill of love
I have been through the mill of love
Old love
New love
Every love but true love
Wanna show you something like
The joy inside my heart
Seems I've been living in the temple of the dog
Where would I live, if I were a man of golden words?
And would I live, at all?
Words and music, my only tools
Communication
And on her arrival, I will set free the birds
It's a pretty time of year, and the mountains sing out loud
Tell me, Mr. Golden Words, how's about the world?
Tell me can you tell at all?
Words and music, my only tools
Communication
Let's fall in love with music
The driving force in our living
The only international language
Divine glory, the expression
The knees bow, the tongue confesses
The lord of lords, the king of kings
The king of kings
Words and music - my only tools
Communication
Chloe don't know better
Chloe just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years of difference
But those lessons never learned
Chloe danced the tables in the french quarter
She's always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say
And I won't forget
Time spent laying by her side
Time spent laying by her side
And dreams like this must die
and a dream like this must die
and a dream like this must...
You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
Talkin' to my altar, say life is what you make it
And if you make it death well rest your soul away
Away, away, yeah child
It's a broken kind of feeling she'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin' better say your prayers, child
I wanna tell you that I love you but does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down, again
Again, my friend again, oh yeah
So I'm singing
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
I used to treat you like a lady now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight, yeah
I owe the man some money so I'm turnin over honey
See Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time, oh yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and it's unkind and
It'll leave me alone, yeah
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know, yeah
So don't burn your bridges woman
Cause someday, yeah
Kick it!
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and it's the kind that
Baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on,
Com' on yeah I said baby don't burn your bridges
woman
Waters rise, but I’m not going
Though the river’s overflowing
Still my eyes keep turning
To all the bridges that you’re burning
Heaped with all your treasures
All your old desiderata
And all the while I’m reading
Your errata, your errata
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing
'Cause the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing.

We can dance, if we want to...
We can leave your friends behind, 'Cause your friends don't dance. And if they don't dance... Well... they're no friends of mine.
I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find.
And we can act like we come from out of this world... leave the real one far behind.
And we can dance.

With friends like you, who needs enemies?
It means you ain't right, you ain't never going
You're out of the car, you're afraid of any kind.
You shake my hand, when you're pissing on my leg
Fine, you lose, you don't mean this misery
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine. NO!
You talk real trash when I'm not around
Goons around they're going to tear me down.
They're all "just screw it, they got better things to do"
Smile through your teeth, you talk bunch of nerve
You're judging you, you're going to stab my back
Your time's run out, I've got nothing left for you.
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
So I've wasted all of my time
I'm leaving you far behind, Yeah!!!
So I'm blowing out the wings I'm ticking stuck
You can stall the doll or you ball the wall
Your ditzy ways got the best of you
So I'm leaving your sake and all your glory
You and me it's the end of the story.
Get out of my way, I've got better things to do
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
So I've wasted all of my time
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
So I've wasted all of my time
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
I'm leaving you far behind
So I've wasted all of my time
I'm leaving you far behind, Yeah!!!
With friends like you, who needs enemies??
It means you ain't right, you ain't never going
You're out of the car, you're afraid of any kind.
You shake my hand, when you're pissing on my leg
Fine you lose, you don't mean this misery
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.
I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didnt get to sleep last night till the morning came around.
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first ones named sweet anne marie, and shes my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, Ill spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee
The first one says shes got my child, but it dont look like me.
Set out runnin but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Reverend Cleophus James: And now, people... and now, people... When I woke up this mornin', I heard a distubin' sound. I said "When I woke up this mornin', I heard a disturbin' sound!" What I heard... was the jingle-janglin'... of a thousand lost souls! I'm talkin' 'bout the souls of mortal men and women, departed of a good life. Wait a minute! Those lost angry souls, roamin' unseen on the earth, seekin' to find life... they'll not find... Because it's too late! Tooooo late yeah! Too late for they'll never see again... the life they choose not to follow. Alright! Alright! Don't be lost when your time comes! For the day of the lord cometh... as a thief in the night!

You give me that look that's like laughing
with liquid in your mouth
like you're choosing between choking
and spitting it all out
like you're trying to fight gravity
on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this
Feels like reckless driving when we're talking
It's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
But no one's going to sympathize when we crash
They'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
and we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
I'm sorry I can't help you, I cannot keep you safe
I'm sorry I can't help myself, so don't look at me that way
we can't fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this.
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
The Greatest
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
I never talk to guardian angels, never look at evil past
The dying swan of sad creation, going fast away
We are born again like a phoenix passing,
Vanish like a soldier's death,
Hear the breath of moving thunder.
Red hot blow the ashes to the sky...
Shadows of war, screamin' past lies
Shadows of war, emotional ties
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what do you trying to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
And everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo
I once was lost
But now I'm found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing
You better listen up, since you screwed me you've been on my mind
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because
Hey, (I got an angry soul), Baby (I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, (and now you're gonna see), Sugar (that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome

New York
Has been buried in the snow since last Saturday.
The papers said
The storm had passed over you.
Thank you
For the play you wrote about Heloise
And her injury
At the hand of an almighty memory.
And I might guess that you'd press a rose in its pages,
Where Abelard confesses his love and his pain to her lips.
Nora, it was no sin.
They could turn the other cheek,
Or take it on the chin.
But, Nora, it was no sin.
This Christmas
Is as blue for you as it was for me.
All those angels
Trumpeting their ecstasy.
And your husband
Has accepted a parish in Greenland.
I met him drowning his vows at the bar.
There we raised a first, the next, a third glass to you.
Hunched on our barstools, calling our truce by your name.
Nora, there is no sin.
We could turn the other cheek,
Or take it on the chin.
But, Nora, there is no sin.
Nora, there is no sin.
Nora, there is no sin.

Change could happen any day,
So says the whipporwill.
It hangs 'round for the seeds I leave
Out on the windowsill.
"Be free, fool, be free, you fool,"
She sings right up until,
As if to show me how it's done,
She leaps into the blue.
Change could happen any day,
So say all the guards
In the prison I have built around
My solitary heart.
I tell myself that I'm alright,
That it's not so bad a place.
Truth is, I'm just scared to death
Of walking through that gate.
Change could happen any day,
So say my true love's eyes.
They see into my shadows
With their sweet, forgiving light.
She smiles and says "Come on, let's go,
Let's stroll the boulevard.
It's such a shame to waste the night
Just sitting in the dark."
Change could happen any day,
So said the mountaineer
Before he turned to face his cliff,
Without a trace of fear.
Yodelay-he-oh, yodelay-he-ooh,
He sang right up until
He cought sight of that open blue
And became a whipporwill.
He cought sight of that open blue
And became a whipporwill.

Hey!
I thought I heard somebody say
That dog ain't going home
Until he gets his bone,
Hey!
They said that way he'd be ok,
So when he's home alone
He'd bark ain't nothing wrong!
Now watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Now watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Hey!
My baby said to me
I feel so Devo,
I don't know what to do!
Hey!
It's ok because she's free,
How low can you go?
That’s really up to you!
Now, watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Now, watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Now, watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Now, watch us work it,
Work it out!
Watch us work it,
Work it inside out!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!
Baby we can work it out,
Let's put it back together!

I'm not knocking your want to carry that home.
Took it with you when you moved and got it broke.
Found the pieces, we counted them all alone.
Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero.
I can't be your apologist very long.
I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on.
Count your blemishes - you can't. They're all gone.
I can't see your response putting them back on.
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall,
So they can see it all,
And you're so occupied with what other persons are occupied with,
And vice versa,
And you've become what you thought was dumb.
A fraction of the sum, the middle and the front,
And now it's coming back - hasn't come too far.
I was trying to help but I guess I pushed too hard,
And now we can't even touch it,
Afraid it'll fall apart.

I messed up again when I tried
You spend all your money and I
And, oh! By the way,
With all you did nothing has changed
So lie like a waste by the side
As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
And I don't feel the need to go on
I was happier singing along the way
I had things, I need to say
But now it's like a swallowed tape
That holds up my face from inside
As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
So woe is me
Oh woe is me, yeah
I cracked my head and broke my... heart
And the hell of it is what we are
We finish and wish we could start again
Our skin tears away as
Our memories fade with age
And we don't even know 'til it's gone?
But everything just fell apart
'Cause everything just falls apart for me
So woe is me
It all falls apart you see
So woe it me
It all fell apart
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
Everything just comes down
It falls around me
'Cause, well...
Everything just falls uhhhh
So woe is me
It all falls apart you see
So woe is me
It all fell apart
But I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
Everything just falls a...
