Watch it fly by in the blink of an eye

Let's give a cheer boy, ya need not ask why
Now move along 'cause the folks are in line
Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood

Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood

You don't love her at all
So I'll give her a call
You'll see
Why don't you give her
Give her a kiss from me
You buy her a diamond ring
You know I won't buy her anything
Why don't you giver her
Give her a kiss from me
You come home 'round four
And I slide right out your back door
Why don't you give her
Give her a kiss from me

You've got the world before you
You take just what you can
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
and a hundred dollar bill in your hand
The remnants of your father
It twinkles in your eyes
You push all your troubles way down low
and away from the world you hide
He takes you to the opera
He takes you by the hand
And he'll never know what you really want
But he'll do just what he can
He'll never know what hit him
It'll take him by surprise
And you'll run and you'll run and you'll run and you'll run
While the tears
Pour down
your eyes
La da da da da da da, la da da da da da, la da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Say hello, i'm your narcoleptic soul ....

Dreamers Disease

So i went to the doctor to see just what's wrong
I said, "I got this aching head man, and I sleep way too long"
"Well are ya runnin' a fever, can ya finish your meals?"
and I said, "No doc, set me straight and tell me the deal!"
"Well listen now son, you've got the dreamers disease,
it'll make you sick sweat and shake, make ya weak in the knees
It'll turn your outsides in, and your insides out
Not to mention you'll develop a bad case of the gout"
"Well please, good sir, help me ease my mind
Are there some pills I can take, or someone's shoes I can shine?"
"Well easy now, son, you'll have to wait in line
The corner store opens tomorrow at 'bout a quarter to nine."
Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamer's, I got the dreamer's disease
Well I ran outta there just as fast I could
I was feelin' mad at the world, a bit misunderstood
So I screamed to the heavens shouting, "Give me a sign!"
But instead of waiting for an answer I grabbed a bottle of wine
I drank until I saw the gates of Sodom
In hopes that I'd find the answer at the bottles' bottom
But nothin' at all changed inside of me
and I knew I was due for another reverie
Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease
The next mornin' when I awoke from up outta my dream
About a ten foot tall man and his killin' machine
He grabbed me by my shirt and put a gun to my head
and said,
"If you eat those pills son, you'd be better off dead"
Well I didn't care I ran down to the corner store
The pharmacists said, "Here's ten pills," and I said
"Gimme some more!"
I swallowed them all and in the blink of an eye
I was just like every other ordinary guy
Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease
First my beard, disappeared
Then I stopped singin' songs
And all my crazy little thoughts
went back where they belong
Then the next mornin' I found myself driving a silver sedan
and everything seemed to be going just according to plan
I'm on my bended knees
Help me lord if ya please
I got the dreamers
I got the dreamers disease

Hey boy why up so soon?
Nothin' doin' till the afternoon
Oh sir pay me no mind
don't waste your precious time on me
Walkin' slowly on down Rollins avenue
Now what to do, your world it crashes down on you
Now it seems your world, is gonna take you for a twirl
and it's too late to run
away
Don't shake your fist at me
all's not what it seems to be
I need no sympathy
leave me to my sins you'll see
Walkin' slowly on down Rollins avenue
Now what to do, your world it crashes down on you
If everywhere ya go ya walk and stare down at your toes
well ya best start movin' your feet
and get along
(solo)
Mirror tell me what you see, I'm the wolf in you and you're
the man in me
Save me, save me
Rest assured you'll live the same
a lonely pawn
in life's game
Save me, save me!
And everything you'll find
is just a lesson learned in time
and if you don't know by now
you'll live alone

Miss Jane Miss Jane, where did ya go?
First ya came to play
now I'm here to stay
I think it's time, think it's time to go home
This chain, this chain, it's holdin' me down
It's chaffing up my leg
now it's turning red
I think it's time to go home
Four-eyed notetakers observation makers
leave me a lone
How I long to be
in better company
way up high in my tree
I think it's time to go home
Miss Jane Miss Jane, thought you'd know by now
I'm omnivorous
I need not tell ya this
don't stop at plants please throw me a bone
Sir Charles, Sir Charles, won't you send me a line
If a mans a man
and a chimps a chimp
then why can't we just share the wine
When will my world view
evolve like the birds do
and fly away
Then I'll surely know
where those western winds blow
Sir charles please throw me a bone
I think it's time to go
HOOOOOMMMMMEEEE
I think it's time to go - o - o home
(incoherent ramblings)
