1. HOLIDAY IN MY HEAD

Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent


Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear


Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head


I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hittin' the snooze so I can keep on dreamin'



I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room


Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head

2. YOUR MAN

I don't know why I'm with you
The only right thing I do is get along with you
And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me
It's true
I talked to you late last night
You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
Oohweooh


But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And even when I get home somehow you're still alone
It's true
I don't know why you're with me
The only reason I see some sort of fetish thing
Some people like to be pleased and
Some like to be teased
Which are you

I tried to warn you but you said just play dead
As long as we stay
True


But you weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not




Did your head not receive the shape of everything
That you are and I am
I shouldn't be happy as your man

You know that I am

I play guitar all night long
And I know hundreds of songs and I'll just play them all
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone I'm with you
As long as we stay true--whoowoowhoowoo whoowhoowhoo--



You weren't listening when I told you everything
That you need I ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not



3. PACIFIC COAST PARTY

Get your motor running
California Interstate 1
Pacific Coast Party
If you got to work today
Get yourself a new vocation
Pacific Coast Party
You don't have to mind father time mother nature
Get yourself in line take your time
And watch it slip away
Just quit your bitchin' bite your tounge
Save it for a rainy day son
Pacific Coast Party
Get your ticket pack your bags
Come and join the celebration
Pacific Coast Party
If you want a fine piece of mind
Come and get it
Get yourself in line take your time
And watch it slip away
Pacific Coast Party
Hey I heard somebody say work harder than you play
But I never missed a single day's party
Word I never heard a word I turn the other way
Pacific Coast Party

4. SHE TURNS ME ON

We're on the move
The ride was rough but she was smooth
Waiting in the wings just doing her thing
Locomoting to the groove
Number one, have some fun, that's the rule of the road
Lois Lane, Mary Jane, we may never get home
Arlene, Annette, Angelena
Making the scene it a green Karman Ghia


Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
She turns me on

The style was wild like millionaires
My savoir-faire got everywhere
It was nothing but a thing if you're wondering
But now she isn't there

Suzie Q, Peggy Sue, won't you tell me your name
Betty Lou, make it two, if you really got game
April and June got the word now
May got play in a lei at the luau


Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, I threw her away and I crave yesterday
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, she turns me on

Now that she's gone, she really turns me on


Marlena, Tina, and Belinda
Goodnight Irene, Jean and Lucinda
Jackie O, did she know, did she know




Just kiss it goodbye on the fly
Alibi leave her wondering why
Yeah, "regret" is a word that I never had heard
Now that's she's gone
Now that she's gone, now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on
Now that she's gone, she turns me on on on on on
She turns me on on on on on
She turns me on

5. SISTER PSYHIC

Sister Psychic won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
We were there at the start we've got Polaroids to prove it
Skateboards and scars and embarrassing home movies
But if you really wanna see where it's all goin'
Switch on your TV she's all tellin', all knowin'
She knows everything


Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am I doin' what I'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything


Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me




Sister, why would I tell you my deepest, dark secrets
So you could take my diary and rip it all to pieces
Just $6.95 for the very fist minute
I think you've won the lottery that's my prediction
You know everything


Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

6. OUT OF SIGHT

Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool
Well we ain't so dumb, just numb
And tomorrow's another year
Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here
We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb


And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight

The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance
But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down


And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight




And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

7. FORCE FIELD

Today's escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
There's no shame in my game of denial
Don't you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It don't get much better than this
There's the riff, here's the hook,
Where's the myth


Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field

Beaten down on all fours
And they'll stare as they pass
Please don't feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, don't complain where I'm at


Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field


You won't see me cry (you won't you won't)
You won't see me die



The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin' off a miracle out of my ass
It don't get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat


Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (Say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field
Say hello to my force field

8. SHOES ‘N' HATS

The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear
But I don't care
You've got things to say
But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say
So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say "Don't be square"
So square we'll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say


I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
Anything strange is wrong



So here we are
In a dead man's car goin' to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothin' to say


I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers
Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin' round at the pawn shop
Waitin' for nothin' to change
Anything strange is wrong

9. HOLD YOUR HIGH

When your head is spinnin' 'round
When everything is upside down
You can look at things differently
Come and check my galaxy
You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
I'll be representin' clouds
But before you get too far out, baby
Before you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high

Ultra touch, sight, and sound
Your feet are safely on the ground (on?)
I'm starin' off into your space
You're only comin' through in waves right now but

I see you comin' my way now, baby
You know I'll be kickin' down
But before you get to far out, baby
You kow I'll be reelin' you homeward bound

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high



You'll be claimin' stars now, baby
And I'll be representin' clouds
But before we get too far out, baby
Don't you start lookin' down

Let me show you the way how
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high
Let me hold you high


10. THE IN SET

Well I go where they go
And I know who I wanna know
We are the "In Set"
And they don't trip if you're hip
At the velvet rope off the strip
We are the "In Set"
Call me cruel and unkind
But I'm cool and refined
Like a robot


If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Well the pond may be big
But it ain't deep if you dig
On the inset
Little fish swim away
I suggest you go and play
On the swing set

And I was a junkie way before it was cool
With that I'll leave you


If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever



We're just drivin' this jalopy 'til it grinds to a halt
And that's our mission
A Hollywood tradition


If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret
This is our big show

If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

11. DISENCHANTED

Government test climate best
If you're looking for no rest
And at midnight you can grab your keys
And slip into your bulletproof dress
Television comes to life
And it works the street tonight
Siren's the song and it's remixed long
Into the broad daylight
Sleeping with the only one you can't out run
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded


Seein' only what I wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's gone

Well I'm just another creep
In that town that never sleeps
Met the one I adore at a liquor store
And she gave up counting sheep
And she explained to me
What "waitress" really means
That most ignore what she's waiting for
While earning an honest keep
She's acting out tinsel town's most-hated scene

Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow I'm blinded
Seein' only what I wanna see


In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone


12. KEEP IT DOWN

Back in the day everything seemed to be OK
But OK is just OK
And just alright makes you think
What could be on the other side
Runnin' with the big dogs
Left those puppies on the porch
Scratchin' fleas is the least in the real world
If I knew then what I know now
Just alright would be OK somehow
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Could you keep it down

Had it made had it played itself out
In a sit-com style
So the landlord has his key in my door
I'll have amnesia for a while
I've seen ridiculous sunsets in a sickening sky
It made me feel really ill in a beautiful way
I've seen perfect people and I shield my eyes
I don't deserve to see their shame
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Just keep it down now
I can't hear myself think
Who needs to think



I know I know I know

13. I’M A BELIEVER

I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me

Love was out to get me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And not a trace
Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

I thought love was more or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah

What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And not a trace
Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind

Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I'm a believer
Then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm a believer
Now I'm a believer
