1. SOMETIME TO RETURN

[Well] I ran my way
I walked a fine line
Wasted time only to find
That you were calling, I think, my name
To remind me I am fine

What you are is what you see
And you see me and we can be
Something you can call we
We are, we are

Doing what we can
Working without a plan
I'm beginning to understand
It's getting out of hand

I have seen these closing doors
I've woke up on this floor before
Picked it apart for hours and hours, and hours and hours
Of turning, tossing, and looking and listening
To you and all the fucked up things you do

But you're doing the best you can
With every grain of sand
Just trickling through your hand
Can't catch me if you can

If someday comes early
Comes whipping, comes whirling
To take you for all you have learned
The tables are turning
Your bridges are burning
My destination's sometime to return

Throw away your calendar
And saddle up your salamander
Get up and get down
Ride into town and look around

Get up and do something
Your time to choose it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Doing the best I can (I can)
With or without a plan (a plan)
I'm taking what I can get
I haven't seen nothing yet

If one day you wake up and find what you make up
Come and get me, come and take me there

Into your illusion I make my intrusion
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

The hourglass is draining fast
It knows no future, holds no past
And all this too will come to pass
Never, forever, whatever

If someday comes early
Comes whipping, comes whirling
To take you for all you have learned
The tables are turning
Your bridges are burning
My destination's sometime to return

Sometime to return (×3)


2. PUT THE BONE IN

Put the bone in she yelled at the store (yeah)
'Cause my doggie's been hit by a car (by a car)
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in she yelled out once more (whoo hoo)

Because the meat from the pork is so sweet (you tell him)
Give the bone from the pork meat to me (can you help me down here)
Put the bone in she begged him as she paced across the floor
Put the bone in she yelled out once more

Everybody sing? (okay)

Everybody:
Put the bone in she yelled at the store
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in she yelled out once more

(Huh) Put the bone in she yelled at the store
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in she yelled out once more

Put the bone in (Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
she yelled at the store
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in she yelled out once more

Put the bone in she yelled at the store (yee haw)
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in she yelled out once more?

(I'd like to thank the group? on behalf of ourselves.
I'm sure we flunked the audition.
Thank you. Thank you.
Is that on tape? It's on tape.
Want to do one more take?
One more take. Okay, keep 'er rollin'.)
