Flying over the Grand Canyon
Or some other big riverbed
Listening to the Captain talking
About some turbulence ahead
Hours in the air
Hours more in store
Layover in Nevada
Then it's back up into the air
Gone so far away
I don't know where to go
Gone so far away
And being so far away's too close to home
I went all around the world to find you
Now I'm a world away
Every place reminds me
How you said I couldn't stay
Had to leave your house
Had to leave this town
I don't want to be anywhere
If you don't want me around
Gone so far away
I don't know where to go
Gone so far away
And being so far away's too close to home
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't ask me where I live
Don't ask me where I'm staying
Or who I'm staying with
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't ask me where I've been
I'm just going
I'm just going
Gone so far away
I don't know where to go
Gone so far away
And being so far away's too close to home

Worth Your While
02:55
|

I'm gonna get you pregnant again
And that's the last you're gonna see of me
I don't wanna be cruel
I won't lie to you
But that's the way that it's got to be
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
You're gonna look back and smile
I'm gonna ring you out
I'm gonna sink in deep
You're gonna have a good time right about now
You're gonna have a good night's sleep
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
You're gonna look back and smile
Even angels want a piece of the action
Everybody's looking for some satisfaction
I'm gonna lay you flat on your back
You're gonna curse my name and wish me back
We're gonna get wild
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it worth it your while
You're gonna look back and smile
We're gonna get wild

San Diego
04:09
|
|||
This gun's for hire
Too shot to fire
Too blown to know
Frayed at the wires
I went to Westworld
I did my best girl
But sometimes the programming goes awry
Before I go to San Diego
There's something you should know
I might not come back again
You never know which way the wind blows
Is it blowing me to San Diego?
We shut down after dark
We swam with the sharks
If you bring the frozen peas
It makes them all go crazy
Eating all the edibles
Everything's incredible
All the girls are young
And easy
Before I go to San Diego
There's something you should know
I might not come back again
You never know which way the wind blows
Is it blowing me to San Diego?
Don't the shoreline look pretty?
I'm not trying to write another song
About another city
Before I go to San Diego
There's something you should know
I might not come back again
You never know which way the wind blows
Is it blowing me to San Diego?

Germany
03:56
|
|||
The sinister accent
The cold Teutonic stare
The Hollywood heavy
Everywhere
Since World War II
And what you did to the Jew
That was generations ago
It's got nothing to do with you
How long must Germany pay for her crimes?
How long must I?
It might have to be forever
I caught her heart
And brought her here
We got an apartment
But I never made it clear
How lost I was
How little I had to give
I never told her
Til the day I left
How long must Germany pay for her crimes?
How long must I?
It might have to be forever
It's not the same
There's no comparison
What if God's to great
To know the difference
When He's dealing out the punishment?
How long must Germany pay for her crimes?
How long must I?
It might have to be forever

Only The Human League
03:47
|
|||
I heard an ancient dance song
Timeless and dated
It reminds me of the date we had
How long I sat and waited
Only adolescent memories
Can touch the soul that hides within me
It's the memory of a memory
The feeling of a feeling
My heart is like a fortress
A city under siege
I thought I had a human moment
But it was only The Human League
We all feel that fascination
But that fascination fades
Love turns to lust
And even that gets lost with age
Only self-indulgent frenzy
Can touch the heart that hides within me
Steel turns to rust
Self regard turns to self disgust
My heart is like a fortress
A city under siege
I thought I had a human moment
But it was only The Human League
Didn't you ever want me baby?
Would you want me now?
Did you ever want me baby
Who could want me anyhow?
My heart is like a fortress
A city under siege
I thought I had a human moment
But it was only The Human League

Candy Moon
03:23
|

It's a candy moon
You better taste it soon
Cause when the moonlight tastes this sweet
The next girl you meet
Could be your true love
It's a candy moon
Starry night in June
And the next the boy that you meet
Might just sweep you off your feet
He could be your true love
Hey it's a candy moon
Hey good lookers
It's all dripping with sugar
Oh can't you taste it
Don't you waste it
Take me back when we were young
And the whole night was right there on your tongue
It was a candy moon
When I met you
It was night just like this
And if you give me just one kiss
I'll be your true love
Hey it's a candy moon
Hope to see you soon
On a honeymoon
It's a candy moon

Hitched
02:17
|
|||
First they were strangers
And that was safe
These two looked at each other
And they knew that that wasn't how they wanted to behave
So they got together and now no other
Is ever gonna do
Now they've decided
They got the love that's true
They're getting hitched
They're getting hitched
Soon you won't know who's who
And which is which
They're getting hitched
They're getting hitched
You can tell
They've got the itch
They're getting hitched
Soon they were cooking
And before too long it wasn't even funny
Cause she's so good looking
And he, well, he must have a lot of money
Every day
It's like they're floating by on a bubble
Here comes trouble
They're turning into one of those married couples
They're getting hitched
They're getting hitched
Soon you won't know who's who
And which is which
They're getting hitched
They're getting hitched
You can tell
They've got the itch
They're getting hitched
Life might be a bitch
But they don't care a bit
They're getting hitched

Troubled Sunbeam
04:56
|

Found a trouble sunbeam she was bouncing off the walls
Caught you in my prism and I put you in my mirror ball
Now every Friday night it shone like a Sunday morn
And every day was better than the day before
You can't keep a sunbeam you can't keep it all the time
Flashes on and off and she goes right out of her mind
She'll shine you in your eyes and make you blind
Oh you went right out the window leaving me behind
Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me
I went to Jamaica, I went to Jamaica Queens
I went to Coney Island and all the places in between
More and more it feels like was all just a beautiful dream
Fading on awakening, wondering what it means
Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me
I know I was wrong
I know I was wrong
I know I was a tyrant
Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me

Sleep All Day
04:09
|
|||
Saw your face
In a cool blue light
We swam through space together
All night
But that bastard Sun
Broke the spell too soon
Keep's breaking in
All afternoon
I could sleep all day
I could sleep for days
I could sleep all week
I could sleep forever
Let me have my dreams
Til the morning breaks
And takes them away
I could sleep all day
Roll me out
I've got so many things to do
I lie right back
And dream of you
Drag myself from the bed
Straight to the desk
Start typing letters
Oh Dear God I need a rest
I could sleep all day
I could sleep for days
I could sleep all week
I could sleep forever
Let me have my dreams
Til the moment breaks
And takes them away
I could sleep all day
And I'm more tired
Than before I lay down
Oh my arms and legs
Are so heavy
But I can't quit now
Cause I've got to get out
Got to clean myself
Got to get ready
But I'm not ready
I could sleep all day
I could sleep for days
I could sleep all week
I could sleep forever
Let me have my dreams
Til the morning breaks
And takes them away
I could sleep all day

Mermaid
03:19
|

Neil Young left his wife of many years for the lovely Darryl Hannah
She played a mermaid, played and android, played a one-eyed femme fetale
And now Neil Young, he wants to capture her in song
The woman behind the glamour, he's got to wonder, can it even be done?
Love takes us strange places
Love leaves us in the wilderness
Love makes us take chances
If we knew any better we would never
Let ourselves be swept away
Florentino loved Fermina from far away for many years
Fermina she got married, with her husband buried Florentino reappears
He had so much love to give her, they went up and down the rive
When asked how long this could go on they said "Forever"
Love takes us strange places
Love leaves us in the wilderness
Love makes us take chances
If we knew any better we would never
Let ourselves be swept away
You're my mermaid
I'm your sailer
I want this love
To last forever
But there's danger in every wave
You've got to be brave
Love takes us strange places
Love leaves us in the wilderness
Love makes us take chances
If we knew any better we would never
Let ourselves be swept away
But I swear this love is here to stay

Haunted mansion in the woods
Looked like it hadn't seen a soul in years
Fixed it up the best I could
Cleared a path out to its door
Said Girl that's yours
Despite the noise at night
I thought we'd live in it together
And everything would be all right
And we'd live like that forever
I'll be faithful I'll be true
I give all my love to you
I'll be patient I'll be strong
You're what keeps me holding on
And I give all my love to you
The voices gave you no rest
You thought that you were going crazy
But our mysterious guest
Said "I'm afraid it's not that easy
I know the history of this place
It starts in love, it ends in murder!"
You laughed right in his face
Told him "That's absurd sir."
I'll be faithful I'll be true
I give all my love to you
I'll be patient I'll be strong
You're what keeps me holding on
And I give all my love to you
Last thing I saw
Was a figure in the drapes
And I was torn apart
But I think you escaped
Cause I walk these halls
And I haven't seen a soul in years
And I haunt this house
Just hoping you'll appear
I'll be faithful I'll be true
I give all my love to you
I'll be patient I'll be strong
You're what keeps me holding on
And I give all my love to you
