1. U.R.A. FEVER

Walk you to the counter
What do you got to offer
Pick you out a solder
Look at you forever
Walk you to the water
Your eyes like a casino
We ain't born typical

Find a piece of silver
Pretty as a diagram
And go down to the Rio
Put it in my left hand
Put it in a fruit machine
Everyone's a winner
Laughing like a seagull

You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical
You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical

Living in a suitcase
Meet a clown, fall in love
Went down to have you over
Going 'round a break up
Take you to a jukebox
That's the situation
Pick you out a number
And that's our arrangement

Dancing on the legs of a new-born pony
Left right left right
Keep it up son
Go ahead and have her
Go ahead and leave her
You only ever had her
When you were a fever

I am a fever
I am a fever
I ain't born typical
I am a fever
I am a fever
I ain't born typical

We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical


2. CHEAP AND CHEERFUL

I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social graces
Show your shark-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that legal meet

'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got the same needs as a dog

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're san


3. TAPE SONG

You've got to
You've got to
You've got to
You’ve got to

Tape ain't gonna fix it honey
It ain't gonna stick
Tape ain't gonna fix it honey
It ain't gonna stick to you

Six kinds of glue
Won't hold you
Won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my
You've got to

You got to go steal ahead
You got to
You got to go steal ahead
You got to

Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time don't give a shit.
Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time's just gonna hit on you
I said time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time don't give a shit
Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time's just gonna hit on you

You got to go steal ahead
You got to
You got to go steal ahead
You got to

Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time don't give a shit.
Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time's just gonna hit on you
I said, six kinds of blue
Won't hold you, won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my you've got to
You've got to, you've got to

You got to go steal ahead
You got to
You got to go steal ahead
You got to


4. GETTING DOWN

It's going on five
I want you to know
My spirit's alive,
I want you to know

I'm getting down with the awkward moments
I'm getting down with the sour kiss
I'm getting down with the rumours in the back of the car
I'm getting down with it

Signal when you get to the top
Signal when you want me, when you want me to stop
We could, we could crash, we could, we could, bum bum
We could take it, we could we could take it take it in turns

Getting down
Getting down with your new vocation
Getting down with your cute cut wrists
I'm getting down with the kisses and cross-stitches on it
I'm getting down with it

Here's a message from my old coat pocket
My spirit's alive,
I want you to know

I'm getting down with the young drunk lovers
I'm getting down with the one way pack
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it


5. LAST DAY OF MAGIC

We’re two parties
Two parties ending

What if you move
What if you hide
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide

My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano

We’re two parties
Two parties ending

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Coming through
The eye of the storm
And I hold on to
My little tornado
My little hurricano

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Put a hole right through
The eye of the storm
In a single room
My little tornado
My little hurricano

Calvary come
Calvary go
Calvary leave me alone
My little serenade - oh
My little co-cocaine - oh

Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano


6. HOOK AND LINE

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away

Try your best in your heavy shape
Keep it quiet, keep it cool
Lipstick letters and souvenirs
Make a mockery of your fears

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away

Try your best to make it matter
Tattoo it in the clouds above you
Nail it down with jealous bones
'Til it goes like a feather off on its own

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away

A pawn
A shove
An eerie love
A whip
A crack
You won't come back

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away


7. BLACK BALLOON

Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashin' in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time

Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon

I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true?

Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
The weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
The weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon


8. M.E.X.I.C.O.

Running into trouble
Running into trouble,
You got heavenly eyes
A thousand highs

Always on a mission
It's not lovin'
It's not kissin'
It's a heavenly ride
You still got wheels, kid

If I go missing
Don't you worry for me
I'm just writing
My side of the story
Just like Jackie
I'm biting my lips
Scoring my mind
With whatever I can find

I'm going down the coast to
M. E. X. I. C. O... see you
I'm going down the coast to
M. E. X. I. C. O... see you

Going down the coast to
M. E. X. I. C. O... see you


9. SOUR CHERRY

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause you crossed my mind, you crossed my mind
Made my blood thump 7-8-9
Make my heart beat double time
Now I'm only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause you crossed my mind, it crossed my mind
I'm a penny in a diamond mine
We could be movers,
We could be shakers
If we could just shake somin' outta the blue
And get off the ride

I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand?
If I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on your fruit stand?

G-g-g-go home, go home it's over
G-g-g-go home it's over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over over
Go go home it’s over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over
Go go home it's over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over over
Go go home it’s over


10. ALPHABET PONY

He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony

Phony monkey toy money lose end soda hands
Pink plastic Jesus on the dashboard
Just say it

He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony

No fun not happy got no money need a friend
A volcano dish on a mountaintop to live it

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony

Cancel Sunday
Cancel Monday
Don't look at me
I've been running on a no-tomorrow road at great speed
N-n-n-need a punch
A pop a bang
A different song
Like a nice new home
Needs a mean stray dog

Yeah
He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony

Oh we go up down
Up down up down town again
We like the walk the talk
Don't stop and fall into the quicksand
Sharp teeth dry heat
Can't breach too many sins
Don't forget my cigarettes
And get something that we can drink

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony


11. WHAT NEW YORK USED TO BE

Coma coma drama come on
Draw it scratch it say it
Say it, make it to the bottom ladder climb it drop an apple
Off the top it stop it
I don't want to eat it
Need it, know it
Force it, feed it
Leave it, be it
Just keep it
In its box

What easy used to be
What love used to be
What drugs used to be
What TV used to be
What music used to be
What luck used to be
What art used to be
What you used to be

Coma coma drama, come on drawl your skin
Your mile longer love song
Sure it tells the future
Fingers crushed and
Run em' under water
Shark infested sea of secrets
In the open fire
Beat it, don't believe it
Just leave it in its box

What easy used to be
What fun used to be
What dreaming used to be
What fame used to be
What the city used to be
What fast used to be
What low used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be

Come, come, come on
Come, come, come on


12. GOODNIGHT BAD MORNING

The Speed's working, I see it
In everyone,
Like a lost idea
Under light bulb sun,
Your eyes are ready for takeoff
Melt in your head,,
What a beautiful state
We are in

The jailors in my mind
Are all dead,
I Love you so much,
Never forget
All of our secrets
Are coming undone,
What a beautiful state
We are in

Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning

Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight another bad morning
