CANCION:
'Losing My
Religion'
Oh, Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up-------
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up-------
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try----
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream-----
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try------
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

'Man On The
Moon'
Mott the Hoople and the game of Life. Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match.
Monopoly, Twenty one, checkers, and chess.
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess.
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk.
i'll see you heaven if you make the list.-----
Hey, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby.
Are we losing touch?
If you believed
they put a man on the moon,
man on the moon.
If you believe
there's nothing up my sleeve,
then nothing is cool.----
Moses went walking with the staff of wood.
Newton got beaned by the apple good.
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp.
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask.
Hey, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby.
Are we losing touch?
If you believed
they put a man on the moon,
man on the moon.
If you believe
there's nothing up my sleeve,
then nothing is cool.
Cool.------
Here's a little agit for the never-believer.
Here's a little ghost for the offering.
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's.
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling-----
Hey, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby.
Are we losing touch?
If you believed
they put a man on the moon,
man on the moon.
If you believe
there's nothing up my sleeve,
then nothing is cool.

'Bad Day'
A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick
Free Teflon whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve------
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down------
Have you ever seen the televised St. Vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in- pants glances.
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthetized
Save my own ass, screw these guys
Smoke and mirror lock down----
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
The papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more-----
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please------
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please------
We're dug in the deep the price is steep.
The auctioneer is such a creep.
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal.
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Please stay tuned--we cut to sequel
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down------
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times,
Lord, Count your blessings.
Ignore the lower fears
Ugh, this means war.-----
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please-----
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please------
I saw the light, it can't be right..-----
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down------
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please-----
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please---
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.
Please------
It’s been a bad day.
Please don’t take a picture
It’s been a bad day.

Love'
This one goes out to the one i love This one goes out to the one i've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one i love----

This one goes out to the one i've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time

CANCION:
'Leaving New York'
It's quiet now And what it brings
Is everything-------
Comes calling back
A brilliant night
I'm still awake----
I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there-----
You don't need me
To tell you now
That nothing can compare-----
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown.
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around.-----
It's easier to leave
than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud.
Leaving New York, never easy.
I saw the light fading out----
Now life is sweet
And what it brings
I try to take
But loneliness
It wears me out
It lies in wait------
And all not lost
Still in my eye,
The shadow of necklace
Across your thigh, I might've lived my life in a
Dream but I swear it.
This is real.-----
Memory fuses
And shatters like glass,
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you
It's what I feel----
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown.
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around.----
It's easier to leave
than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud.
Leaving New York, never easy.
I saw the light fading out
you find it in your heart,
it’s pulling me apart,
you find it in your heart, change--
I told you, forever
I love you forever.
I told you I love you
I love you forever
I told you, forever
I love you forever.
I told you I love you
I love you forever
you never, you never
you told me forever...---
You might have laughed if I told you
you might have hidden a frown.
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around.--
It's easier to leave
than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud.
Leaving New York, never easy.
I saw the light fading out ----
Leaving New York, never easy.
I saw the light fading out
Leaving New York, never easy.
I saw the light fading out---
