Oh, mmm
Well, well, well, I bought it
Down on all fives
Let me crawl
If I want I could die
Oh, my hair

[Refrain]
Time for a decision to be made:
Crack up in the sun
Lose it in the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
Razzle dazzle, razzle droll
Time for this one to come home
Razzle dazzle, razzle die
Time for this one to come alive

[Chorus]
And hold my life
Until I'm ready to use it
Hold my life
Because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
 

[Verse 2]
Well, well, well
Anyone could tell
Pass it off
As a lucky shot
Ooh-leh-do
Hate 'em
Someday soon
Face 'em

[Refrain]
Time for a decision to be made:
Crack up in the sun
Lose it in the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
Razzle dazzle, razzle droll
Time for this one to come home
Razzle dazzle, razzle die
Time for this one to come alive

[Chorus]
And hold my life
Until I'm ready to use it
Hold my life
Because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
 

[Bridge]
Just might, just might, just might

[Refrain]
We might crack up in the sun
But we'll lose it in the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
Razzle dazzle, razzle droll
Time for this one to come home
Razzle dazzle, razzle die
Time for this one to come alive

[Chorus]
And hold my life
Until I'm ready to use it
Hold my life
Because I just might lose it
Because I just might lose it
Hold my life
Baby, hold my life

[Outro]
Hold my, hold my
Hold my, hold my
Hold

Cruisin' in the sunshine
Ain't yet been to bed
And I could hear the motor whistlin'
Something's awful wrong again
Hey, give my regards to Broadway
Tell 'em I got change to spare
One big buck
Gonna have to suck up here

[Chorus]
Anything you want, dear
Is fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Everything you say, dear
I'll buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Buy, goodbye

[Verse 2]
Talkin' about some pictures
Now, wouldn't that be a scream?
Well, movies are for retards
Like me and Maybelline
Hey, give my regards to Boston
Ask 'em who'll buy the beer?
Don't wanna get pop
Find yourself a rockin' chair
 

[Chorus]
Anything you want, dear
Is fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Everything you say, dear
I'll buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Buy

[Verse 3]
We ever get passed the dice, dear
Goddamnit, I'm gonna roll
The people there pick your nose clean
So what we owe, owe, owe?
Hey, give my regards to Broadway
Tell 'em I don't even care
If you want a good joke
Why split? You'll go broke right here

[Chorus]
Anything you want, dear
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Everything you say, dear
I'll buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
And anything you want, dear
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
And everything you say, dear
I'll buy, buy, buy, buy, buy
Buy, I'll buy

On the bus, That's where we're riding
On the bus
Okay, don't say "hi," then
Your tongue, your transfer
Your hand, your answer

[Verse 2]
On the bus
Everyone's looking forward
On the bus
I am looking forward
And it really ain't okay
I might die before Monday
They're all watching us

[Chorus]
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Ooh, if you knew how I felt, now
You wouldn't act so adult, now
Hurry, hurry, here comes my stop

[Verse 3]
On the bus
Watch our reflection
On the bus
I can't stand no rejection
Come on, let's make a scene
Oh baby, don't be so mean
They're all watching us
 

[Chorus]
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Ooh, if you knew how I felt, now
You wouldn't act so adult, now
Hurry, hurry, here comes my stop

[Outro]
Ooh, if you knew how I felt, now
You wouldn't act so adult, now
They're all watching us
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus
Kiss me on the bus

Goin' down to the pool hall
You're lookin' for the eight ball
When it comes, when it comes
Only want a little, you need a ton

[Chorus]
Gimme one good dose of thunder
Gimme one good dose of thunder

[Verse 2]
Gimme, gimme, in a hurry
Texas added to Missouri
When it comes, when it comes
Only takes a little 'til you want a ton

[Chorus]
One good dose of thunder
Gimme one good dose of thunder
I can feel it startin' to rumble

[Bridge]
When it comes, when it comes
It only takes a little 'til you need a ton

[Chorus]
Gimme one good dose of thunder
Gimme one good dose of thunder
And I can feel it
Oh, gimme one good dose of thunder
Gimme one good dose of thunder
I can feel it startin' to rumble

She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tie
Always on the ball, she's always on strike
Struttin' up the aisle
Big deal, you get to fly

[Hook]
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky

[Verse 2]
Paid my fare, don't wanna complain
You get to me, you're always outta champagne
Treat me like a bum, don't wear no tie

[Hook]
'Cause you ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
And the sign says, 'Thank you very much for not smoking'
My own sign says, 'I'm sorry, I'm smoking'
Don't treat me special, oh, don't kiss my ass
Treat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class
 

[Verse 3]
Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
Garbage man, a janitor and you, my dear
A real union flight attendant, my oh my

[Hook]
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothing but a waitress in the sky

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere, there's a party
Here, it's never ending, can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

[Chorus]
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong's your kind, I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party, down the line

[Verse 2]
Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work and never going fishing
Water all around, never learn how to swim, now

[Chorus]
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong's your kind, then, I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party, down the line
At the swingin' party, down the line

[Verse 3]
Bring your own lampshade, somewhere, there's a party
Here, it's never ending, can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail
If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If being strong is what you want
Then, I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party, down the line
Everything in time
At the swingin' party, down the line
Catch the time
At the swingin' party, down the line

Ohhh! God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
"It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten"

[Chorus]
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons

[Verse 2]
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, no way he'll be here tonight
Income tax deduction, one hell of a function
"It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten"

[Chorus]
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
Now the daughters and the sons

[Bridge]
Unwillingness to claim us
Ya got no warrant to name us

[Verse 3]
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
"If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them"

[Chorus]
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young
Daughters and the sons

[Outro]
Young Of young Young Young (Young)
Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours

Got a big switchblade, drop drop bill a tease
There's a deal goin' down, it don't go down without me

[Pre-Chorus]
The rumors keep on spreadin'
All over town

[Chorus]
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down, down
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down

[Verse 2]
Skinny as a rail and you think you got what it takes
The only exercise you ever get is the shakes

[Pre-Chorus]
The rumors a-keep on spreadin'
All over town

[Chorus]
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down, oh
 

[Verse 3]
Get back to the hills, get back to, back to where you belong
Finally found out which way the wind blows

[Pre-Chorus]
The rumors keep on spreadin'
All over town

[Chorus]
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down, down
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down, down
Lay it down, clown
Lay it down

Read about your band
In some local page
Didn't mention your name
Didn't mention your name
Sweet Georgia breezes
Safe, cool and warm
I headed up north
You headed north

[Hook]
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?

[Verse 2]
Weary voice that's laughin'
On the radio once
We sounded drunk
But you never made it on
Passin' through and it's late
The station started to fade
Picked another one up
In the very next state
 

[Hook]
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on and...

[Bridge]
On

[Verse 3]
Pretty girl keep growin' up
Playin' make-up, wearin' guitar
Growin' old in a bar
Ya grow old in a bar
Headed out to San Francisco
Definitely not LA
Gonna mention your name
Gonna mention your name

[Outro]
And if I don't see ya in
A long, long while
I'll try to find you
Left of the dial
Left of the dial
Left of the dial

You and I fall together
You and I sleep alone
After all, things might be better
After one, and there's one that's long gone
For the moon, you keep shootin'
Throw your rope up in the air
For the kids, you stay together
You nap 'em and you slap 'em in a highchair

[Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to take care of ya
All you're ever losin' is
A little mascara
Little mascara
Little mascara

[Verse 2]
Afternoon, things are quiet
Settle back now if you can
Stations clip by like a rocket
Don't you worry if you wonder why he ran

[Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to take care of ya
All you're ever losin' is
A little mascara
Little mascara
Little mascara
 

[Bridge]
He let you cry
Cry
He let you cry
Your eyes out
He let you cry
He let you cry
He let you cry
Your eyes out

[Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone Ma'd be scared of
All you're ever losin' is
A little mascara
A little mascara
A little mascara

[Outro]
He let you cry
He let you cry
He let you cry
Your eyes...
He let you cry
He let her cry
Let her cry
Her eyes...
Cry, oh
Cry
Let her cry

Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst after a hard day of nothin' much at all
The summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass, there ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
And sometimes I just ain't in the mood to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food, I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out, loud and clear

[Chorus]
Here comes a regular, call out your name
Here comes a regular, am I the only one here today?

[Verse 2]
Well, a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town and once, the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now, I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear

[Chorus]
'Cause here comes a regular, call out your name
Yes, now here comes a regular, am I the only one who feels ashamed?

[Verse 3]
Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes, he says, "Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut"
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy, the fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts
First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow, turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that last, then comes the snow, ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
