2. MIND

Time won't change you
Money won't change you
I haven't got the faintest idea
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time

I need something you change your mind

Drugs won't change you
Religion won't change you

Science won't change you
Looks like I can't change you
I try to talk to you, to make things clear
But you're not even listening to me
And it comes directly from my heart to you

I need something to change your mind


3. PAPER

Hold the paper up to the light
Some rays pass right through
Expose yourself out there for a minute
Some rays pass right through

Take a little rest when the rays pass through
Take a little time off when the rays pass through

Go ahead and miss it up
Go ahead and tie it up
In a long distance telephone call

Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on because it's been taken care of
Hold on to that paper

See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper
See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper

Had a love affair but it was only paper
Some rays they pass right through
Had a lot of fun, could have been a lot better
Some rays they pass right through

Take a little consideration, take every combination
Take a few weeks off, make it tighter, tighter
But it was never, it was never written down
Still might be a chance that it might work out

Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on because it'll be taken care of
Hold on to that paper

Don't think I can fit it on the paper
Don't think I can get it on the paper
Go ahead and rip up, rip up the paper
Go ahead and tear up, tear up the paper


4. CITIES

Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in

There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there
A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done

Down el Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are
Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river


5. LIFE DURING WARTIME

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons, packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway, a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver, hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas, you don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading, everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mud club, or C.B.G.B.
I ain't got time for that now
Heard about Houston
Heard about Detroit
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.
You oughta know not to stand by the window somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peant butter, to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones, ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college
Why go to night school
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around
I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock, we blended with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping pohne lines,
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
I don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender, we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving, you ought to get some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions, then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day, whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace, the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness, don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances, you better watch what you say


6. MEMORIES CANT WAIT

Do you remember anyone here
No you don't remember anything at all
I'm sleeping, I'm flat on my back
Never woke up, had no regrets

There's a party in my mind
And it never stops
There's a party up there all the time
They'll party till they drop
Other people can go home
Other people they can split
I'll be here all the time
I can never quit

Take a walk through the land of shadows
Take a walk through the peaceful meadows
Try not to look so disappointed
It isn't what you hoped for, is it
There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
I'm stuck here in this seat
I might not stand up

Other people can go home
Everyone else will split
I'll be here all the time
I can never quit

Everything is very quiet
Everyone has gone to sleep
I'm wide awake on memories
There memories can't wait.


7. AIR

Air
Air
Hit me in the face
I run faster
Faster into the air
I say to myself
What is happening to my skin
Where is that protection that I needed
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Some people say not to worry about the air
Some people never had experience with air

Air
Air
It can break your heart
So remember when the weather gets rough
You'll say to yourself
What is happening to my skin
Where is that protection that I needed
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Some people say not to worry about the air
Some people don't know shit about the air

Air


8. HEAVEN

Everyone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song
They play it once again, they play it all night long

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens

There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so Exciting, and so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens

When this kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so Exciting, could be so much fun

Heaven is a place where nothing every happens
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens


9. Animals"

I'm mad
And that's a fact
I found out
Animals don't help
Animal think
They're pretty smart
Shit on the ground
See in the dark

They wander around like a crazy dog
Make a mistake in the parking lot
Always bumping into things
Always let you down, down, down, down

They're never there when you need them
They never come when you call them
They're never there when you need them
The never come when you call them down, down, down, down

I know the animals
Are laughing at us
They don't even know
What a joke is
I won't follow
Animal's advice
I don't care
If they're laughing at us

They're never there when you need them
They never come when you call them
They're never there when you need them
The never come when you call them down, down, down, down

They say they don't need money
They're living on nuts and berries
They say animals don't worry
You know animals are hairy
They think they know what's best
They're making a fool of us
They ought to be more careful
They're setting a bad example
They have untroubled lives
They think everything's nice
They like to laugh at people
They're setting a bad example
Go ahead
Laugh at me


10. ELECTRIC GUITAR

Electric guitar gets run over by a car on the highway
This is a crime against the state
This is the meaning of life

To tune this electric guitar

An electric guitar is brought in to a court of law
The judge and the jury
Twelve members of the jury
All listening to records
This is a crime against the state
This is the verdict they reach

Never listen to electric guitar

Electric guitar is copies, the copy sounds better
Call this the law of justice, call this freedom and liberty
I thought I perjure myself, right in front of the jury
Is this a crime against the state, no
This is the verdict they reach
Someone controls electric guitar


11. DRUGS

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots
Feels like a murder but that's alright
Somebody said there's too much light
Pull down the shade and it's alright
It'll be over in a minute or two

I'm charged up
Don't put me down
Don't feel like talking
Don't mess around
I feel mean
I feel OK
I'm charged up electricity

The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls all start to laugh
I don't know what they're talking about
The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
They pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody know what they're talking about

I'm charged up
I'm kind of wooden
I'm barely moving
I study motion
I study myself
I fooled myself
I'm charged up
It's pretty intense
I'm charged up
Don't put me down
Don't feel like talking
Don't mess around
I feel mean
I feel OK
I'm charged up electricity
