Problem With Decision

Walking in the rain
melting in the sun
man I'm lonely
and when the stars come out at night
I'm so blue
memories all the time
fogging up my mind
what was I thinking when I got rid of you
I have no problem with decisions
sometimes you gotta think twice
before you turn off the television
try to make it feel alright
stays on through the night
til' the light
tonight
Maybe you're a little drunk
maybe I'm a little slow
I don't know
maybe it's better left unsaid
someone's gonna wind up dead
then you'll know
Your body holds tight
but your mind's letting go
I'll try to hold tight
hound dog eyes just let it show
I have no problem with decisions
but sometimes you gotta think twice
before you turn off the television
try to make it figure alright
stays on through the night
til' the light
til' the light...
tonight
I'm still walking in the rain
I'm riding to the sun
and the stars...
It's all made of stars...

She hears herself moan
rocking her phone
her face is wet
someone else's sweat
man I love this song
Jam's That's Entertainment
And it's fine, she's fine, we're fine, I'm fine
last song of the eighties, made to melt your mind
rocking on the lanes
ghosts of Devo
at the Rock and Bowl
You're a little fast
I'm a little slow
better left unsaid
sometimes I don't know
Your bodies alright
your mind makes me go
twisting on the lanes
to Elvis Costello
And it's fine, she's fine, we're fine, I'm fine yeah
last song of the eighties, made to melt your mind
rocking on the lanes
Joey Ramone clones
at the Rock and Bowl
And it's fine, she's fine, we're fine, I'm fine yeah
last song of the eighties, made to blow your mind
rocking on the lanes
Joey Ramone clones
at the Rock and Bowl (repeats)

On the Run

"On the Run", lyrics and music by Manoog Hadeshian.
Kind of feels like a hangin'
that eerie silence when they cut the outlaw down
seems to last forever
on these helpless weary streets
It's so lonely at the station
no one needs a ride in this ghost town
and our bodies can't remember
what its like to be alive
I'm hiding from the sun
I'm dreaming in the dark
we're all on the run
yeah we're on the run
Silent strangers own the sidewalks
only sounds you can hear is the songbirds sing
did you know that they existed
...such a beautiful thing
Don't touch it with your finger
keep your hand off your face
better stand your distance
it's best to stay in one place
I'm hiding from the sun
I'm dreaming in the dark
We're all on the run
yeah we're on the run
on the run

Rainy Day Friday

It's another rainy day Friday
...understand
It's the things I do on Tuesday
tell me who I am
Mondays I hope for Saturdays
Tuesdays I hope for Saturdays
Wednesdays I hope for Saturdays
and sunshine, so I can go out and play
It's another rainy day Friday
know the tune
trapped in here inside my weakness
TCM's on the tube
Mondays I hope for Saturdays
Tuesdays I hope for Saturdays
Wednesdays I hope for Saturdays,
and sunshine (repeats), so I can go out and play

Trippin' for You

You say you wanna play guitar
ride your bike real far
swim nudie at the beach
from our heads down to our bike seats
Why can't you see
you were put here in this town for me
you say I'm trippin', yes I am
I'm trippin' for you
Say you want to take some drug...I'll get you
but only if it's natural...you betcha
so we get high and run in the sun
can I get a kiss when this day is done?
My ain't she sweet
from her head down to her bike seat
you say I'm trippin', yes I am
I'm trippin' for you...awe
trippin' for you...now
The sun makes my motor run
the breeze makes my body seize
the sun makes my motor run
now we're gonna have some fun
Why can't you see
you're pudding in this town for me, me, me
you say I'm trippin', yes I am
I'm trippin' for you...awe
trippin' for you...now
I'm trippin' for you...awe

Needle in a Camel's Eye
04:06
|

Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long glance
And you'll go oh, oh, oh, oh.
Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so, so, so, so, so.
Birds of Prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day.
Why ask why
For by the by and by,
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye

No One Today
04:58
|

|
Change in the weather
earth's in motion
buildings shake
that's devotion
And I'm down (I can't make it go away)
I'm no one today
I'm lost (can't fake it away)
no one today
Down in the valley
cats they stare
there's snakes here
in the grass somewhere
And I'm down (I can't make it go away)
I'm no one today
I'm lost (can't fake it away)
no one today
Run up the mountain
lungs are fragile
jump in the ocean
bob for apples
meet me in the bushes
make me want to
take me
to your frozen igloo
And I'm down (I can't make it go away)
I'm no one today
I'm lost (can't fake it away)
no one today

Nova the Zen Babe
03:34
|

|
Eyes give away her imagination
says she is me she ain't mistaken
she is mystical down to her name
She reads Jack Kerouac, falls in love
never says anything cause thinks she's too tough
she's intellectual down to her games
Where she's got to go you can't wait
tell her that your leavin' looks like she'll break
if I could speed her up or just slow me down
Nova the zen baby makes me smile
if we can't be friends this year, try again next time
Oh we are lovable, just wait and see
In the summertime
Wind it blows the weeds around
looks like silk, oh yeah
Only laugh never to cry
in the summertime, summertime (repeat/fade)
