lyrics

cold duck
drink cold duck on tuesday
life goals are rarely realized
on tuesday
you can end up speeding ‘cross indiana
in the back of a toyota truck
on tuesday
other days are meant for decisions
other days are meant for epiphanies
but not on tuesdays
drinking cold duck in shotglasses
will make it last much longer
we’ll watch black and white movies
with English subtitles
and we’ll finish the bottle on tuesday
no day for eternal questions
we’ll find no answers today
no one knows the meaning of life anyway
on tuesday
drink cold duck on tuesday
life goals are rarely realized
on tuesday

 

black kawasaki
black kawasaki (i feel lucky)
black kawasaki (i feel lucky)
black kawasaki (i feel lucky)
sleek cheap
junk heap
too cool
too mean
rice burning machine
black kawasaki
never let me down
till i went to town
dumped it in the dirt
didn't get too hurt
wouldn't you know
i only broke my toe
(chorus)
called the man to see
where my bike would be
one hundred dollars
to get it out of impound
i'll just let it be
'cause i don't need that damned old black kawasaki
no, i don't need that damned old black kawasaki
(chorus)

 

blue eyed bandit
blue eyed bandit stole my heart away
i was so defenseless i didn't stand a chance
it was highway robbery at first glance
blue eyed bandit wanted
blue eyed bandit wanted
most wanted by me
i should call the sheriff or perhaps the fbi
read all the classifieds to see
if there's any stolen hearts for sale
if there's any stolen hearts for sale
(chorus)
they should put it in the paper i can see the headline now
front page news- girl's heart is stolen
convenience store robbery will be on page 5
(chorus)
i checked the walls at the post office
i didn't see your face on tv
but you're still upon the most wanted list with me
(chorus)
i don't want to see you in prison, i wouldn't even testify
be sentenced to wear a warning label
caution: heart stealer blue eyed
(chorus)

 

not in chicago
i thought that you loved me
but you never come around
i thought i could fly
but i only hit the ground
but i'm not in chicago
this much i know
i'm not in chicago
this much i know
i watch tv
but it's always the same
i met you once
i can't remember your name
(chorus)
there's so many things
i'll never know
will you ever love me?
do i drive too slow?
(chorus)
i see the wind blow, sometimes it rains
but it never snows
i wanted you to love me
but that's not how it always goes
(chorus)
i thought that you loved me
but you never come around
i thought i could fly
but i only hit the ground
(chorus)

 

shadows
shadows upon the mountain
shadows upon my soul
footprints in the hallway
no place can i go
always someone there
always someone there
like a bee within a hive
like the freeway out at five
not alone but lonely
looking for somewhere
no matter where i go
there’s always someone there
take away your gold
take away your gold
like a convict in a jail
like a ten penny nail
rain clouds on the floor
teardrops for my lover
who i'll see no more
someone’s at the door
someone’s at the door
like playing in this band
like a one night stand
shadows upon the mountain
shadows upon my soul
footprints in the hallway
no place can i go
always someone there
always someone there
like a bee within a hive
like the freeway out at five

 

I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t laugh at the moon
I don’t smile if I don’t want to.
I don’t laugh at the moon
Big headed jerks all advise me
They all play out of tune
But I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
The vision is overwhelming
But who should know better of course
The vision is overwhelming
The possibility still remains
But I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I didn’t play at the coffeeshop
I did not play at the bar
The ghosts of summer still haunt me
I wonder if they’ll give me any applause
But I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
Maybe I’ll sit here in the darkness
Maybe life bends downward
Gravity is the color of an orange
The audience remains slow in arriving
But I don’t smile
If I don’t want to
I’d send you a postcard
But I can’t afford the postage
I don’t play bluegrass
And I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to
I don’t smile if I don’t want to

 

angel dreams
dream your angel dreams tonight
dream your angel dreams tonight
rest is good
you are tired
so get back into bed and
dream your angel dreams tonight
dream your angel dreams tonight
there’s summer and silver clouds tomorrow
but the dreams are made tonight, so
(chorus)
rest your head
on your blanket of moonlight
hush, don’t make a sound, but
(chorus)
midnight has passed
dreams are waiting
before the dawn arrives, so
(chorus)
next week is the fall of the world
pray for my soul, and
(chorus)
