jimmy jimmy

hey jimmy
what's the matter you tonight
nothing to do
can't think of anything to do
got get out of here
goout and watch a fight
open up some heads
go for life
that's not dead
got to get some kixs instead
of just sitting around
thinking about what's wrong
with everything in your life
tonight
you can't see too well
what's going on
but there's something going on
that you donn't know about
america
nobody's getting off
we're all in this together
nobody's getting off
it must be now or never
nobody's getting off
must must this drag on forever
nobody's getting of
we're all in this together
hey jimmy
they're calling you back
they want you to come back
and take put the garbage
they want to talk to you
about something
they found in your drawer
under a hustler magazine
they want to cool you out
and ignore your problems
they want you to stay  in line
waht happened to my baby
where did he go wrong
why can't he be like other kids
just go along
what's the matter
with these kids today
hey jimmy
you don't look so good tonight
are you depressed
or something
you look spaced out
isn't there something
you could be doing
instead of watching tv
or listening to the fm
don't you want to think about nothing
don't you want to do something
are you pretending
nothing's wrong
america
it can happen here

something to grab for

if tou want to hang on my shoulder
i'm standing here
if you want to do all over
let me get near
if you were another pretende
i'd pass you by
if you were a lost weekender
maybe i'd try
when you gonna give me something to grab for
when you gonna put it in my sight
when you gonna give me something to grab for
when you gonna show me what it's like
if you want to talk about it
i go the time
when you're looking so enchanted
you cover my minf
if you think i'll wait forever
maybe you're right
there's no such thing as now or never
there's only twlight
if you want to take it lighty
i won't make a sound
if you want to make me over
i won't turn you down

prove

you could show me all your photographs
you cold leave me hanging high
tou could tell me about the mystery
hiding in your eyes
there's one too many reasons
why i should be with you
but i'll just be in season
just like you want me to
tou don't have to prove  a thing
pretty girl pretty girl
tou could tell me secrets
that i would only keep
you can have your soup du jour
when you're fast asleep
shen you turn me over
i won't waste your time
put on your precious makeup
you won't stand in line
i'm standing in your doorway
i know you never lock it
i won't try to walk away
with somenthing in my pocket
everything you want to do
it easily gets done
even on a rainy day
you could pull the sun

i can't wait

for your love
i can't wait
for your tooch
i can't wait
for your slinky amile
i can't wait
for your angel heart
i can't wait
cause when you hold me
i melt away
and when you hold me
i wan't  to stay
nigh to night
day to day
i just can't wait
for your love
for your whisper soft
i can't wait
for your bright nite eyes
i can't wait
for your silky sway
i can't wait
i'd be so glad if you came today
i can't wait

connect up to me

you talk close to me
i know your ways
i feel your dreams
you talk close to me
fairy domes and princesses
living in illusion
touch me free
i need your nite light
close to me
i need your nite life
fantasy
when the dance bight flies
and the broadway screams
connect up with me
i feel your heartbeat
pounding soft
i'm talking off
you stick close to me
the right intrusion
is what we need
the touch is free
i'm watching your slick trick
still life moving
and ever so softly
letting it go
still by windows
some are still running
thinking they dreamt you
but never to know
connect to me
i need your nite life

a quick one

how about a quick one
the endless night
has just begun
you know it's never like it seems
and when you wake up
it's going to feel just like a dream
so won't you hold on hold on
don't you leave me here tonight
everything will be all right
i know it's hard for you to take
and in the distance
you don't want make the same mistake
so won't you hold on hold on
don't want to lose your delight
don't want to ever say goodnight
there's going to be blue stars tonight
and when you wake up
there's going to be a diferent light
so won't you hold on hold on
don't you leave me here tonight
everything will be all night
i don't need a stranger touch
just for something new
i'm not looking for too much
but love is overdue
you think it's too to be true
when you wake up
there's someone fallin' over you

out of control

well someday you'll be sorry
that you flucked around and waited
for amsterdam and lillywhite
so heavenly sedated
it's faster than speeding bullet
tonight someone's blasted
it's easier for you to tell
why no one ever lasted
keep it out of control
you don't have to think too much
we're all trying to help you out
show you how to save yourself
so you got no doubts
prima donna jesus moon
you'll be waiting now forever
some people call you speedo
they just think they're só clever
keep it of control
in the thick black nite
blow tray can you see
fly the pawns curly sight
it's the easy way out
it's the double take hidden
it's the long gone beach lawn
infested with headlights
touched
instrument landing
keep it out of control

take a walk

under the cold and darkly sky
you trip the light and go
through the love gates sweet and wild
hou close you'll never know
take a walk take a walk down
yougot to split crazy town
take a walk a walk down
you got to turn life around
i remember the nite you ran
just a prisioner of the dark
you were waving that chinese fan
trying to hit the easy mark
take a walk take a walk down
take a look around
take a walk take a walk down
you got to turn this dream around
you were taking off by youself
you were seaching for a safety place
still hoping for a little help
showing off a little lece
take a talk a walk down
take a look around
take a walk take a walk down
you got to turn this life around
take a look take a look around

sneak attack

suffocation in the center
paradoxical on the edges
we're shooting the moon
watch out for rockets
cold cream windows nervous smiles
back to blankets for awhile
wasted children dance alone
living in the gone world
it's a silent flight
for a satellite
sneack attack
who's going to wake you up
when they come for you
pinch of life burns and files
vigilante mode elite
locked into a red head
it's a silent flight
for a satellite
sneak attack
we're shooting the moon
watch out for rockets

time bomb

i live in a world
of manufactured joy
and factory parts
i live in a world
of dancing lips
and prima donnas
i live in a world
of time store dummies
and slingshot rummies
i live in a world
of lonely hearts
and dispassionate pigs
i live in a world
of murderers
and priests
i live in a world
of pistols
and doomslayers
i live in a world
of computer games
and cops
i live in a world
of war
and wigwams
and i'm sitting on a time bomb
i live in a world
of businessmen
and breath soap
i live in a world
of confusion
and incertainty
i live in a world
of glamour
and god fear
i live in a world
of tv news
and blow ups
i live in a world
of wasted envy
and beatitudes
i live in a world
of technology
and tinsel
i live in a world
of garbage strikes
and jackknives
i live in a world
of night screams
and rainbows
