Pop Song'89
Hello I saw you I know you I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather?
Should we talk about the government?
Hello my friend are you visible today?
And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange
Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Get Up
Sleep delays my life
Where does the time go...go
I don't know
Sleep sleep sleepy head
Wake it up...up
You've got all your life
Way up ahead
Dreams they complicate my life
Dreams they compliment my life
I've seen you laying pined
I've seen you laying pined
Life is rough...rough
I've seen you laying down...down
With the loving kind
I know life is hard...hard
Well now
Where to turn?
This time there's no escape
To dreamtime
You Are The Everything
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around you
The sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
You feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty
Of the light of music
The voice is talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
Stand
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now
Now stand in the place where you were
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
So stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now
Now stand in the place where you were
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
The reason is calling
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you were
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
The reason is calling
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
So stand!
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now
So stand!
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now
Now stand in the place where you were
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
Stand in the place where you are
Stand in the place where you are
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
So stand!
World Leader Pretend
I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down
The Wrong Child
I've watched the children come and go
A late long march into spring
I sit and watch those children
Jump in the tall grass
Leap the sprinkler
Walk in the ground
Bicycle clothespin spokes
The sound the smell of swingset hands
I will try to sing a happy song
I'll try and make a happy game to play
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it's like to go outside
I've never been
Tell me what it's like to just go outside
I've never been
And I never will
I'm not supposed to be like this
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay
Hey those kids are looking at me
I told my friend myself
Those kids are looking at me
They're laughing and they're running over here
They're laughing and they're running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?
I said I'm no supposed to be like this
Let's try to find a happy game to play
Let's try to find a happy game to play
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay...okay

Turn You Inside-Out
Divide your cultured pearls and paste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
This is not the wasted race
They spoke loud
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It's what you do
I could turn you inside out
I could turn you inside-out
But I choose not to do
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
Hairshirt
I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life
I Remember California
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
The willow at high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
The simple wave I must confide
I guess we took a slow ride
I guess it's just a gesture
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
This
The willow at high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
The simple wave I must confide
I guess we took a slow ride
I guess it's just a gesture
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
