"Eye"
(Ferranti / Schulsinger / Wray / Meadows)
I-
I really love you with my eye.
And, I-
I really love you with my other eye
I-
I really love the things you do.
And I know you know I,
You know I'm so in love with you.
(You know I'm so in love with you.)
If I'm seen sprayin' by the garden wall
and you can catch me by my favorite ball
and if you only see I got a oui in my France
you're gonna have to catch me first, so-
dance, dance, dance!
I know-
I know you like the way I look.
And I, in return,
I really like the way you cook!
I-
I know you like the way I feel.
And I know you know I-
I dig your little sister's eel.
(I really dig yo sister's eel!)
If I'm talkin' while I'm sleepin'
In those tiny little shoes they sneak, sneak, sneak in,
Just a open up the cage and a pop da parakeet in
for those tiny little eyes they PEEP PEEP PEEPIN'!
If I'm seen sprayin' by the garden wall,
If you catch me by my favorite ball
And if you only see I got a oui in my France
You're gonna have to catch me first, so-
Dance, dance, dance.
Dance, dance, dance!
Dead people shootin' at bugs.
Why, why?
You want Anita Pye,
you want to eat a pie,
have illusion of life?
Reality is fantasy, reality is confusion:
confusin' confusion, confusin' Confucianism,
for usin' all the dead people
shootin' at bugs!
Why, why?
I don't wanna die!
I don't wanna dye all the rest of my hair!
It ain't fair!

"Grunkeys"
(Ferranti / Schulsinger)
In a Turkish town,
In a Turkish bath,
Learning Turkish taffy
and eating Turkish math.
Whirling hors d'oeurvishes,
From a Turkish girl,
Grabbing whirling turchushes,
Painted like the world.
Then a Turkish woman
Turk ush to the zoo
Filled with Turkish animals
And lots of Turkish doody-doody-do-do-DO!
Don't eat the Turkish jerky,
It'll make you wacky as a jerk.
Don't eat the Turkish jerky,
It'll make your turkey hurt!
It'll make you wacky as a jerk!
It'll make you wacky as a jerk!
I love to see the grunion run,
I run to see the grunion love,
I see the grunion love to run,
I see the grunion run to love.
I greet the sun with gloves and rum,
I rub the seat with scum and doves,
I'd like to give you a slab of meat
With a bone in the middle you can play it like a geetar!
Then, Ghobanifar,
(in a Turkish mood,)
Squeezin' Turkish na-a-asties
with a turkish dudy-dude-dude-dude.
My apologies if this isn't what you want!
My apologies if this isn't what you want!
Take the screaming turkeys,
And the grunions too,
Put em' in a blender; voilà!
"Grunkey stew-ew-ew-ew"!
My apologies if this isn't what you want.
My apologies just to show you that I care.
My apologies if this isn't what you want.
My apologies to show you that I care
just a little bit about ya, baby!

"Love-On"
(Schulsinger / Ferranti)
I woke up this morning
to find love on my pillow.
Love all over the blanket
right there next to me.
Love on my pillow.
I got up from bed to find
love in the bathroom.
Love was in the shower
love squeezing the tube.
Love on my pillow.
Another love on my pillow.
I'm in your hair!
(solo)
Oh, love feeds the donut
and love eats the doggie.
Oh, love brings me hot garbage
and love takes out the coffee.
Love on my pillow.
Another love on your pillow.
I'm in your hair.
I'm everywhere.
I'm fucking every-fucking-where!

"Eleven"
(Schulsinger)
(For you I'll never write a fancy song!)
I promise not to tell you
that I love you.
For you, I'll never
write a fancy song.
I'll never use a big word
to express the way I'm feelin'.
If you like, I'll hurt you
hard as the night is long.
Eleven e-l-e-v-e-n!
Eleven o-n-e and t-e-n!
I'll put you on a leash
and take you everywhere I go.
If you got a will,
I think that I can break it.
You'll do the things that I like to do,
even though I know you don't,
'Cause you need a boy to tell you
and you take it!
Eleven e-l-e-v-e-n!
Eleven o-n-e and t-e-n!
(solo)
Eleven e-l-e-v-e-n!
Eleven o-n-e and t-e-n!
I'll make you cry
if it's the last thing that I ever do.
You should be grateful
that I do all this to keep you.
And if I showed to you the softness
that I really kept inside,
You'd call me "weak"
and look for stronger boys to break you!
Eleven e-l-e-v-e-n!
Eleven o-n-e and t-e-n!

Lie, Cheat & Steal

"Lie, Cheat and Steal"
(Ferranti / Wray / Fuelleman)
You better face the fact,
There ain't no merit in an honest act.
You gotta raise some hell,
It's not that hard to tell,
That the only way
That you're ever gonna make it is to
Wipe off your face
And prepare to do some stompin'.
Lie, cheat and steal
Your way to fame and fortune;
The other way don't work, but this one does
Lie, cheat and steal your way to fame and fortune!
You're runnin' out of steam,
It doesn't pay to be part of a team,
You gotta use your head,
Tell 'em that they aren't hungry,
As you take their bread,
You're gonna have to face it,
So wipe off your face
And prepare to do some cha-cha-cha!
Lie, cheat and steal
Your way to fame and fortune;
The other way don't work, but this one does
Lie, cheat and steal your way to fame and fortune!
(solo)
Lie your way to peace and love,
Cheat your way to happiness,
Steal your way to wealth and health.
Cuz' that's the way it works today,
This is all I have to say:
Cuz' you gotta lie to just get by,
C'mon now, steal, cheat and lie!
It is the easy way out,
But that's just what this damn world is all about,
You gotta justify your act,
Cuz' baby, you gotta know the facts!
You got to know the facts!
Lie, cheat and steal
Your way to fame and fortune;
The other way don't work, but this one does
Lie, cheat and steal your way to fame and fortune!
You gotta face the music
Although the tune, it might make you sick,
You gotta raise your voice,
Sometimes in life, you got no choice!
Now that you know the way,
I know you're gonna make it,
And now that you know your lines,
you no longer have to fake it!
Lie, cheat and steal
Your way to fame and fortune;
The other way don't work, but this one does
Lie, cheat and steal your way to fame and fortune!
Lie, cheat and steal
Your way to fame and fortune;
The other way don't work, but this one does
Lie, cheat and steal your way to fame and fortune!

"Reds"
(Meadows)
Well I went to a cantina late one night,
it was near to my place.
I was searching something special
just to help make me fall on my face.
Wasn't looking to dance or to drink,
or to smoke, or for anything,
except what we all know as "reds"
Reds! Reds! Reds!
Well I found what I was looking for,
I knew that it had to be real.
They came fresh from the factory
and nobody had broken the seal. (No they hadn't!)
Took a handful or two.
It's that "somethin'-special-feeling" that i get
when i down my reds.
(trip)
Miguel: Hey man!
Tomas: You been lookin' for me, man?
M: I been lookin' for you!
T: Well, I got news for you; you found me, man!
M: That's right! I want to know if you got something for me!
T: I sure do, man, it's your lucky day! I got something sleek and blue, man!
M: That doesn't sound very good!
T: Okay, how 'bout something in a cool, orange, man?
M: Aw, woah, man, what are you talking about?
T: Okay, okay, I know what you want now; green, green is mean, man!
M: Hey, I clash with that color, man!
T: Okay, well, what is it you want from me, man!?
M: Something tiny, shiny and red!
T: Oh, okay! I got just what you need, man!
M: Okay, now look over there and tell me what you see!
T: What- your girlfriend on a leash, man?
M: No, man, that is'nt my girlfriend on a leash- that's my wife! And she wants a red, too, man!
T: Okay, you want two reds, man, let me check... OOOOooooooooooohhhhh - I got no reds for you today, man!
M: You got no reds for me, today, man?
T: I got no reds for you today, man!
M: You really bum me out!
T: If I don't get ared, man, I don't know what I'll do, I need a red, man, you gotta give me a red, man, I really, really need a red!!!! MAN!

"This Place"
(Meadows)
(Ba-Paaa!!!)
I had a dream,
But my dream
It's dead.
Bumps,
In my mind
On the streets
In my head.
(Ba-Paaa!!!)
In the clouds
There are eyes
On your face.
See?
Watch the clouds
Cause if you're here
Let's behave.
This place
Like a doctor spear
This place
They set this nation weird
This place
Can't see where my hands are free
This Place
I don't know what I want to be.
(Ba-paaa!)
It's the night
I like the night
Hey, you were stranded.
There
On the ground
You were found
When they landed.
(Ba-Paaa!!!)
Like a tree
Or a bush
Or a flower,
Time
Is the day
And what is sweet
Will turn sour.
This Place
Like a poison pen
This Place
Like a boy named "Dread"
This Place
Can't see when my eyes are free
This Place
Don't know what you want from me.

(I am "Joey'; a plastic toy.
A posable boy with a bone!
Won't you play with me?
My name is "Joey", what is yours?
I'll be your pal,
Won't you stay with me?)
His name is Joey, a plastic boy.

He means no harm,
Cuz' he smiles a whole lot!
(A posable boy with a bone)
His name's "Joey",
What is yours?

He's always waiting for his time to play.
(Won't you play with me?)
(I am "Joey"; a plastic toy.
A posable boy with a bone.
I am "Joey"; a plastic toy.
Won't you play with me?)
He's a lovable boy, with a bone!
(Won't you stay?)
He hasn't a family or even a pet.
(I'll be your pal!)
His name is "Joey" and he wants to know yours!
(What is yours? What is yours?)
He's always waiting for his time to play!
(Won't you play with me?)
(I am "Joey"; a plastic toy.
A posable boy with a bone!

Won't you - won't you - won't you play with me?)

"In My Mind"
(Meadows)
One thing is for certain when you're hung up,
everyone will take you for "uncouth".
Touching all the garbage when you're strung up,
tends to make the average soul aloof.
In my mind...
I wish you'd try and see what's in my mind...
In my mind...
I really want to tell you,
won't you ask me all about it,
Cuz it's somewhere in my mind.
Bread is eaten when it should be broken,
Tie my hands behind me when I come,
Getting through is easy with a token,
Take it all and never leave a crumb.
In my mind...
I wish you'd try and see what's in my mind...
In my mind...
I really want to tell you,
won't you ask me all about it,
Cuz it's somewhere in my mind.
I drive to the car wash
Jjust to clean my skin,
But you might as well forget it cuz
you're never going to win.
(I think, therefore you are!)
(solo)
In my mind...
I wish you'd try and see what's in my mind...
In my mind...
I really want to tell you,
won't you ask me all about it,
Cuz it's somewhere in my mind.
Plastic this and phony that are standard,
Heat it up o you can see the fumes,
Accepting all that is could be a hand-out,
Shining in your head is all that glooms.
In my mind...
I wish you'd try and see what's in my mind...
In my mind...
I really want to tell you,
won't you ask me all about it,
Cuz it's somewhere in my mind.
In my mind...
I wish you'd try and see what's in my mind...
In my mind...
I really want to tell you,
won't you ask me all about it,
Cuz it's somewhere in my mind.

"Carpenter Tacks"
(Meadows)
Take a crooked step,
Then walk a crooked dog.
Look at what you've done,
Then find someone for flogging.
Celery strings and napkin rings,
There's no need for other things,
Stepping on a rose.
Mary had a lamb,
She dressed it like a man.
Pulled him by a chain,
And then he ate a ticket.
Celery strings and napkin rings,
There's no need for other things,
Stepping on a rose.
Looking at the other ones,
Who dined on tea and cake,
Knick-knacks and carpenter tacks
Are all you take!
Misses Muff fit tight,
Beside a place that's loose.
Spiders came along,
To tighten knots on her noose.
Celery strings and napkin rings,
There's no need for other things,
Stepping on a rose.
Looking at the other ones,
Who dined on tea and cake,
Knick-knacks and carpenter tacks
Are all you take!
