Ever since I was a little kid I wondered
Why people did the things they did
I wondered why people said the things they said
I used to lie awake at night in bed
& nobody seemed to be what they seemed
& they taught me to stop believing in dreams &
Told me to work & be pretty & breed
But I think & I feel & I need to know why
I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.
Philosophy, science, mathematics
Quantum physics...semantics
I don't wanna buy thing they're selling
Meanwhile, all our brains are swelling
Visitors from outer space &
New millennium racists
Oh yes,
History is paling
& my surge protection failed, & so
I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.
Love is power, love is pure,
Love is the only thing I'm sure of
Love is e lec tri ci ty
Felicity, it is life, you see
It is the one thing beyond all control.
The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul
Try to contain it. Try to maintain it.
No one can explain it
I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE
OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS
OPEN WIDE.
Angel lyrics - Concrete Blonde
What if I said I've
Seen a miracle?
What if I said my
Dreams come true?
Would you believe
I have seen these things
With my own eyes &
Saw the world go dark & dead
& then go green & blue again
You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this mad raging zoo
What if I told you
You were beautiful?
With your scars & missing parts & your
Painted face?
What if I told you,
You were very necessary to the
Chain, the vein, the children of
A young & foolish race?
You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this raging zoo
What if I said I
Saw the future:
& the future was the
Picture in your head?
What if I said to you to
Paint another picture & you'd
Wake up in that future that you'd
Painted, & you did?
Seen a miracle?
What if I said my
Dreams come true?
Would you believe
I have seen these things
With my own eyes &
Saw the world go dark & dead
& then go green & blue again
You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this mad raging zoo
What if I told you
You were beautiful?
With your scars & missing parts & your
Painted face?
What if I told you,
You were very necessary to the
Chain, the vein, the children of
A young & foolish race?
You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this raging zoo
What if I said I
Saw the future:
& the future was the
Picture in your head?
What if I said to you to
Paint another picture & you'd
Wake up in that future that you'd
Painted, & you did?
Memory lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Fill another glass for me,
Another one for you.
The lights are blinking red & green
The sky is finally turning blue oh
Memory,
So dear to me as I am here with you.
We let ourselves get close only to
Finally pull away
We lose ourselves in time & then we
Realize today's today oh
Memory, like melody,
Softly plays.
Hours into days & years
So misty & so sad,
Like a beautiful young ingenue
Gone slowly quietly mad oh,
Memory, like a melody,
Softly fades.
Pour another glass for you,
Another one for me
The night is dying
We're alive
& happy to be here
Creating melodies
& memories
Life is so very rich
& made of these
Oh, memory
Melody,
You will always be a part of me
So welcome home.
Welcome home.
Another one for you.
The lights are blinking red & green
The sky is finally turning blue oh
Memory,
So dear to me as I am here with you.
We let ourselves get close only to
Finally pull away
We lose ourselves in time & then we
Realize today's today oh
Memory, like melody,
Softly plays.
Hours into days & years
So misty & so sad,
Like a beautiful young ingenue
Gone slowly quietly mad oh,
Memory, like a melody,
Softly fades.
Pour another glass for you,
Another one for me
The night is dying
We're alive
& happy to be here
Creating melodies
& memories
Life is so very rich
& made of these
Oh, memory
Melody,
You will always be a part of me
So welcome home.
Welcome home.

Viva La Vida lyrics - Concrete Blonde
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Echoes lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Live on
Endless running - rivers red
I see the ruins fallen in my head
No sign of liberty on any face
Lost by the tears of more than one race
More than one race
Under illusions of hostility
We sleep in doubt restlessly
Outside the walls in cinder we lay
A silent voice against the crimson sky
Crimson sky
Live on - tu y yo
God, I dream - it's only a vision
Just ahead - miles in revision
I walk with you - but not alone
Without an answer we will sing this song
Sing the song
Live on - tu y yo
Live on - tu y yo
We will begin again
Endless running - rivers red
I see the ruins fallen in my head
No sign of liberty on any face
Lost by the tears of more than one race
More than one race
Under illusions of hostility
We sleep in doubt restlessly
Outside the walls in cinder we lay
A silent voice against the crimson sky
Crimson sky
Live on - tu y yo
God, I dream - it's only a vision
Just ahead - miles in revision
I walk with you - but not alone
Without an answer we will sing this song
Sing the song
Live on - tu y yo
Live on - tu y yo
We will begin again
Maria Elena (Letter From L.A.) lyrics - Concrete Blonde
She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Debbie Don't Do Dicks lyrics - Concrete Blonde
O my heart was heavy it flops and then it flips
I'm in love with Debbie, but Debbie don't do dicks
I guess it makes her sick to lick a pussy on a stick
Debbie Debbie Debbie don't do dicks
My Debbie don't do dicks
Why can't she favor
It's just a clit that's bigger
Don't get gross when it grows
Think of it as Pinocchio's nose
I'll pop o'er to Sweden
And change the way I'm peein'
If you wait I'll castrate
And hide the hurt inside
Do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, Debbie
My debbie don't do dicks
I'm in love with Debbie, but Debbie don't do dicks
I guess it makes her sick to lick a pussy on a stick
Debbie Debbie Debbie don't do dicks
My Debbie don't do dicks
Why can't she favor
It's just a clit that's bigger
Don't get gross when it grows
Think of it as Pinocchio's nose
I'll pop o'er to Sweden
And change the way I'm peein'
If you wait I'll castrate
And hide the hurt inside
Do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, Debbie
My debbie don't do dicks
I'm Going Home lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Homo, I'm going homo
I'm getting on that fairy-go-round
Metro, why be retro?
I'm coming out of that closet now
I've had enough of cunt
Cock is what I want
Tell my gal I'm gonna blow
I'm going homo homo homo homo
I'm getting on that fairy-go-round
Metro, why be retro?
I'm coming out of that closet now
I've had enough of cunt
Cock is what I want
Tell my gal I'm gonna blow
I'm going homo homo homo homo
And I Fell Back Alone lyrics - Concrete Blonde
We walk with each other as we leave the room
You don't have to tell me that it's over
Whoever you were then I never really knew
And you got no need to know me now
Can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell....
And stop making all the right moves
Just to keep the walls from coming up
I can't get over this at all
I'm in some different place
Stranger's pictures on my walls
I drew them yesterday
I never thought I'd have a turn at all
You can't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell
Lover never means forever
It just means some other time or place
But how can two souls still heed together
When you left and it lost its taste
How can we lie together in bed and face to face
and not see anyone at all?
It's time to make a wish and let it burn on down the stream
We can dream together for everything we might have had
Live it long, my love
Live it all, my love
Live it strong, my love
Live it all....
You can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell
You don't have to tell me that it's over
Whoever you were then I never really knew
And you got no need to know me now
Can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell....
And stop making all the right moves
Just to keep the walls from coming up
I can't get over this at all
I'm in some different place
Stranger's pictures on my walls
I drew them yesterday
I never thought I'd have a turn at all
You can't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell
Lover never means forever
It just means some other time or place
But how can two souls still heed together
When you left and it lost its taste
How can we lie together in bed and face to face
and not see anyone at all?
It's time to make a wish and let it burn on down the stream
We can dream together for everything we might have had
Live it long, my love
Live it all, my love
Live it strong, my love
Live it all....
You can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell
The Ship Song lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you call around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery, baby
Every time you call around
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you call around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery, baby
Every time you call around
Skyway lyrics - Concrete Blonde
You take the skyway
High above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out on the street
To take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
Warm up inside
Sit right down and wait here for a ride
Beneath the skyway
Oh, then one day
I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Near the place I catch my ride most every day
There ain't nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
Skyway
Skyway
Skyway
High above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out on the street
To take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
Warm up inside
Sit right down and wait here for a ride
Beneath the skyway
Oh, then one day
I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Near the place I catch my ride most every day
There ain't nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
Skyway
Skyway

God Is A Bullet lyrics - Concrete Blonde
There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair
It's like a moment frozen forever there
Mom and Dad had a lot of big plans for their little man
So proud
Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's cut down
By some teenage car chase, war out of bounds
It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun
Sad
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your brother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, yeah
Blame each other, well, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone
They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop picking on me
Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three
I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D.
They'll see
He didn't have to use the gun they put in his hand
But when the guy came at him, well, he panicked and ran
And it's a thirty long years 'fore they'll give him another chance
And it's sad, sad, yes, sad
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
It's all gone in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, ya'll
Blame each other, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
John Lennon
(Shoot)
Dr. King, yeah
Harvey Milk, and all for goddamn nothing
God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone
God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone.
It's like a moment frozen forever there

So proud
Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's cut down
