Lyrics


1. WHO’S THERE

You, you look to the stars for answers
Your face glowin' in blue
You smile at the thought that there's somethin' out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country

Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder

Who's there
Who's there

Fond of a night out in California
It's late an interruption in space
Your smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses

Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons bumber stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder

Who's there
Who's there

A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theater doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous mens co-ordinance
Point at the moon
And the children gather and wonder

Who's there
Who's there

Who's there
Who's there
Who's there

2. DIGGIN' YOU SCENE

Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey, I wanna play on the team that you despise


Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor running man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I'm keeping her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing


Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene


On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell


Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene


Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence

I'm so digging your scene


My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on, right on, right on
Hey hey, I wanna play for the team that you despise


Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene


Don't change
I love that you're deranged
You've got me trapped and caged
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene

3. I JUST WANNA SEE

A planet on the go
It's okay watching the weeds grow
And if you listen really hard
The earth she hums when it's dark

Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see

The aqueducts overflown
Watching the branches and dolls go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks when she's pale

Sleeping on the ceiling the flies don't fall
Dust bunnies found their way to a wall
And I don't even want to understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see

Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see, I just wanna see

4. WASTE

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen

Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman

Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take

I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen

Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste

Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen

5. ALL STAR

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger
And her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead

Well the years start coming, and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking The Backstreet?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about your's?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored

Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking The Backstreet?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all star get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

6. SATALLITE

I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face it's pointed straight up towards the smog
I know, I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning X-ray vision as you roll on by?

Now you must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating or maybe not yet

I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart
But you'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it as I watch your dust

You do it, you do it for me, yeah you do it, you do it for me
Yeah you do it, that's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine

I send out to you
Frequencies exceeding the speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
The satellite that will orbit your mind 'til your down

That's how I know, that's how I know
I'm the asteroid that will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know, that's how I know
Speeding towards you burning out of control

Yeah, you do it, you do it for me, yeah you do it, you do it for me
Yeah you do it, that's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine
That's how I know that you are mine

7. RADIO

Radio free fall
The cat walk to the show
All bets are on for those in the known
Oh no
There's a caterwaul in Hollywood
Who would have ever thought
All planets in line with the disco ball

Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down

America give it a name
Call it a miracle
All bets are on for those on a roll
Oh no
Sold and bought straight San Jo
Who would have ever thought
We'd spoil the sport and be on top

Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking new kid in town

San Jo who would've ever thought
Hollywood get yourself sold and bought
Radio

Radio video and don't forget the talking show
And never forget that you're good to go
Oh no
It's a cattle call
In fifteen minutes you're a Neanderthal
All planets in line with the disco ball

Who did you know coming up
Who will you know going down
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking new kid in town

8. STONED

Leave me alone, I'm over it and everybody's movin' on
I can't see my tomorrow
And yesterday has come and gone
So, leave me alone

My mind is blown but it's my own, so deal with it
I'm feelin' fine most of the time
I may be on the outside but no one's gettin' in
So, leave me alone

We're okay, reelin' in the days
We're alright, we're just gettin' high
Let us be, it'll be all right

I got no strife I'm lovin' life, could you say the same?
You don't have to move to groove
So come on up and see me but leave that judge behind
'Cause I'm loving life

We're okay, reelin' in the days
We're alright, we're just gettin' high
Let us be, it'll be all right

We're okay, reelin' in the days
We're alright, we're just gettin' high
Let us be, it'll be all right

I'm gettin' stoned and what's wrong with that
The President seems to be just fine
Come on up and see me
Come on up just know that I'm gettin' stoned

I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned

We're okay, reelin' in the days
We're alright, we're just gettin' high
Let us be, it'll be all right

It'll be alright, it'll be alright

9. THEN THE MORNING COMES

Paint the town
Take a bow
Thank everybody
You're gonna do it again
Are are the few, the proud
You are the antibody
Mind soul, and zen

And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning come

Take your knocks
Shake them off
Duck everybody
You're gonna take them again
You are you foe
Your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian

And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way the you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
And when it comes it moves so slow
Kinda like it's saying I told you so
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt

And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody

It's just the way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk
Like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes

10. ROAD MAN

Road man driving in the road van
He's got to beat the clock to the next town
Road man driving in the road van
I set up the sound system for the band

Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says, "No, no, no the show must go on"

Road man driving like a mad man
Breaking land speed records in the van
Road man he don't mind police man
Leaving a trail of ripped up citations

Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says, "No, no, no the show must go on"

Road man heavy load
He's got to stop and smell the rose
Road man he says, "No, go
I've got to be the king of the road"
Of the road

Road man didn't see the train man
Until it was too late to slow the van
Meanwhile the band is waiting for the road man
Who was crushed by his beloved sound system

Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says, "No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no the show must go on"

"The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go

11. FALLEN HORSES

A long summers day, stretching out the cold
Searching for the answers
And some say I'm not alone
Could you tell me, where I might find fallen horses?
Their spirits they fly

Blinded by the whiteness staring at the sun
I'm wishing that I had wings so that I could become one
Would you help me, if I wanted to die?
I could ride off with horses tonight

Tell me why
Why, oh, why?
I said, "Why
Why, oh, why?"

Now that I've arrived here, I know I'm not alone
All my friends among me, tell me welcome home
But could you tell me, where I might find
The one I'm looking for, 'cause her wings have arrived

Tell me why
Why, oh, why?
I said, "Why
Why, oh, why?"

Tell me why, why, why
Why, oh, why?
Tell me why, why, why
Why, oh, why?

12. DEFEAT YOU

Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of "What's on your mind"
You jive, you shuck, you bob, you weave
And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve

And you've got it good as bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out

Hey, I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey, I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you

All that knowledge, all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the others try to take your spot
You wanna make them stop but you gotta make them stop

Would you do anything whatever it takes?
Jacks in the road, yeah, fix the breaks
It's the instinct that's got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night

Hey, I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey, I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you

It's what we are, it's what we are, it's what we are

Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive, you shuck, you jab, you stick
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick

Your honor, your honor it's not me
It's the invisible, visible evil powers that be
Untraceable, insatiable having to feed
Yeah, you cry when your wounded and you laugh when they bleed

Hey, I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey, I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you

Hey, I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey, I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you

It makes it that much better to defeat you
It makes it that much better to defeat you
It makes it that much better to defeat you
It makes it that much better to defeat you

13. COME ON, COME ON

Walking out of the door, I'm on my way
Can you tell me just where I'm going
Occupational skills would you give me a clue
What to do 'cause my minds in motion
Just trying to relax I find myself on the couch
With big plans but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me or the way that I'm thinking

Come on come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on come on and tell me why is it taking so long
For you to recognize and stop

Another day in the sun I'm having fun
Feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky a plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breathe
I take a look and I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe, my oh my

Come on come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on come on and tell me why is it taking so long
For you to recognize and stop

I took a trip to the bar does my money go far
Can you show me just how to spend it
Moving around I like the sound
I find myself looking pretty stupid
If I had a gal she'd be in a dress
I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight
They're gonna run me out of town

Come on come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on come on and tell me why is it taking so long
For you to recognize and stop stop stop stop

Come on come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on come on and stop

14. HOME


Yea
(Yea)


Well, here I am at my front door
And oh what an odor is rising
It seems I've stood, on this porch at lesser times
Now I've been down the road
You know the one you've dreamt about
And that surprises you
And I'm sure you'll chalk it up to some sell out crime


Home
What do you do when opportunity knocks
When success stalks and along comes fame?
Do you open the door or watch in horror
Through the peep hole as they go away?
Lottery or poverty, you're a commodity, so what's it gonna be?
I'm moving on
I'm moving on


Home
I'm going home
I'm going home


Sitting in that same spot
There with the other lot whinin'
And you know this must be just a mirage
Ain't no doubt, I ain't got the clout, that's defined, by you
But oil stains are all you're gonna find in my garage
(Hey)
Whatcha gonna do, when the fun stops
When the boat rocks and the crew gets old?
Make up your mind it's about time
Because at this time, you're staying

Home
I'm going home
I'm going homeHome
I'm going home
I'm going home

15. CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF YOU, BABY

I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Yes it's true
Baby yes it's true
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishin that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
It feels so nice I want your arms to wrap around me twice
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Right or Wrong
Baby Right or Wrong
When you had to go I hated the thought
I always wish the night was twice as long
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
YAAAAA
Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this
I get to wishing that there was two of you
My heart crys out more baby
I love you so much
I wish that there was more of you to touch
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
Can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
