Lyrics

1. FOURTH OF JULY

I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
And your dog refused to look at it
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
It was no bigger than a nickel

And if it don't improve
Then I have to move
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile

I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
And I decided to have a Bed In
But I forgot to invite anybody

And when I fell asleep
The neighbors had a peep
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile


2. HEARING VOICES

Your lips ain't movin
Your body's still
But voices are talkin somewhere
I hear a jukebox
French fries and beer
And people are talkin somewhere

And I know there's no one home
But I won't put down the phone
I can't think where I should be

I search the kitchen
Put my ear to the wall
I look in the freezer again
Sometimes a notion
Swells like the ocean
Then I can't think where I should be

And I know there's no one home
But I won't put down the phone
I can't think where I should be


3. SPOOK

When you went blind
And I nearly lost my mind
It didn't last
Cause you have another eyelid

And when you smile
Then you give yourself away
It's all too much
And you have another eyelid

But when you cry
Then I know we are in trouble
It's all too much
And you have another eyelid


4. SUMMERTIME

Nighttime at the boulevard
And I'm walkin home with you
The heat is just delicious
And you know just what to do

Mornin is so perfect
But the noontime makes me tired
Parkin in the park now
And I'm so glad that you were fired

Goin to the movies
I found a shelter from the sun
Heard a gruesome story
About a couple on the run


5. WAY UP HIGH

Down to the clouds
Up from the roof
I missed the band
Why so aloof?

Way up high and goin too fast
Way up, way up high

Open your eyes
Come see my quilt
Big as the bed
Look what I built

Way up high and goin too fast
Way up, way up high


6. LISTEN THE SNOW IS FALLING

Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between Empire State Building
And between Trafalgar Square
Listen the snow is falling over town

Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between your bed and mine
Between your head and my mind
Listen the snow is falling over town

Between Tokyo and Paris
Between London and Dallas
Between your God and mine
Listen the snow is falling everywhere

Snow dream
Snow fall
Snow fly
Listen
Listen


7. SORRY

Well I'm sorry `bout the weather
And I'm sorry that the drive was much too far
Seems like everything is business
And we're sorry all the time

When we're home (All alone)
What is home? (On your own)
Home is home (All Alone)
Where we love the weather

Are you sorry that you love me?
Am I sorry I love you too?
Seems it doesn't make a difference
That we're sorry all the time

When we're home (All alone)
What is home? (On your own)
Home is home (All Alone)
Where we love the weather

All alone (What is home?)
On my own (What is home?)
All alone (Home is home)
And I love the weather


8. MELT AWAY

My head will turn to yellow
My eyes will turn to green
My voice will turn to mellow
But still I can't be seen

Melt away
I wanna melt away
Melt away

Can you tell the difference
Or do I sound the same?
I do just what I want to do
This is my favorite game

Melt away
I wanna melt away
Melt away


9. KING OF SPAIN, PART TWO

Golden star
Silken grace
She my queen
Pull the drapes

On my own
On my own

Red guitar
Silver amps
I can't lose
Watch me dance

On my own
On my own

10. HERE SHE COMES NOW

Originally performed by The Velvet Underground

Now, if she ever comes now now
If she ever comes now now
If she ever comes now now

Now, if she ever comes now now
If she ever comes now now
If she ever comes now now

Oh, she looks so good
And oh, she's made out of wood
Just look and see
She's made out of wood

Just look and see now now now
Made out of wood now
