Oh when will you say
"Nothing's bothering me"
Sure would be so comforting to feel some positive energy
And when will you say that
"My life is lovely, lovely, lovely"
Sure would be so comforting to see you someday smiling
Well, two lonely people never found solace and solitude
They never compromise their egos
Now she's lost wherever he goes
He's lost wherever she goes
But that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

So you should always give your love away, give your love away
Well I don't know why, maybe it just works that way
You should always give your love away, give your love away
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come in if you let it, oh

And when will you say
"My life has every, every, everything"
Despite a seat where nothing sits
You'll find a space where nothing fits
And when will you say that
"My life is so beautiful"
Despite a space where nothing fits
You'll find us seats where no one sits

Well, two lonely people never found solace and solitude
They never compromise their egos
Now she's lost wherever he goes
He's lost wherever she goes
No longer amigos
But that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

Ah, you should always give your love away, give your love away
I don't know why, maybe it just works that way
But you should always give your love away, give your love away
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come out if you let it, oh

Two lonely people tried to quell each other's loneliness
They found out when they separated
All that they anticipated
Suddenly disintegrated
And they felt so jaded
And that's how the story goes
Yeah that's how the story goes

You should always give your love away (x8)
The skin will only come off if you shed it
Happiness will only come in if you let it

Nicotine queen
Well I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me

In her own reflection there is a section of her eye that dilates
Is it just a mirror?  Why do I fear her?  Is it I that violates?
Her space, her freedom, am I too much in her face?
Like a vacillating kingdom?
Her space, her freedom, am I too much in her face?
Like a vacillating kingdom?

But she's my nicotine queen
And I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me

Cigarettes surround her, never astound her, she is too busy wondering
About the money she used to buy her cat food, but is her cat pondering?
Her room, her CD's of Donny & Marie
And the Bee Gees
Her room, her CD's of Donny & Marie
And the Bee Gees

I don't sleep and I don't slumber, ever since I got her phone number
I don't sleep and I don't rest, ever since I looked up her address
Her address

Nobody is looking, nobody's booking gigs for her and her disco band
And nobody is smoking, back in the kitchen camel Lights that are contraband
To her lungs, to her breath
Everybody knows cigarettes bring bad breath
To her lungs, to her breath
Everybody knows cigarettes bring early death
And bad breath

But she's my nicotine queen
And I've been waiting for her scream
When I'm wandering
She's a smoke signal for me
She's a smoke
She's my nicotine queen (x4)

As sure as the sky is blue, I will never understand you
And as sure as the heaven's high, my confusion multiplies

Because I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now ever since you told me you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord

And as sure as the rain is wet, I will never forget
And as sure as the desert's dry, you will never tell me why

I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now you destroyed my master plan
Now all day and night I am

Blue, blue, so blue
The whole day through
Over you, over you
I'm blue, blue, so blue
Now I waste all my energy over you

And as sure as the moon is full, my soul could use some renewal
And as sure as the sun is bright, you will win our next big fight

Because I can't see you and I can't hold you anymore
Oh my lord
Now ever since you told me you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord

And as sure as your hair is long, you will disregard this song
And as deep as the national debt, I'm sure someday I'll regret

The fact that you can't see me, you can't hold me anymore
Oh my lord
Now you destroyed my master plan
Now all day and night I am

Blue, blue, blue
The whole day through
Over you, over you
I'm blue, blue, so blue
Now I waste all my energy over you

Softly, nightly
I'm imprisoned in the thicket of your memory
Softly, nightly
I'm imprisoned in the thicket of your memory
I'm blue

Everything revolves around amnesty
I free you and you free me
But still we're victims of our own complacency
I free you and you free me
Do myopic people have a nearsighted blink?
I see you and you see me
If you jump on your bed, do you sleep on your trampoline?
I see you and you see me

But I can take you somewhere, someday
I can take you somewhere, someday

Everything revolves around love you see
'Cause I love you and you love me
And everything revolves around trust you see
I trust you and you trust me

'Cause I can probably take you somewhere, someway
I can take you somewhere, someday

In my backpack is a bright orange folder
And that's where all my astrology notes are held 
And I sleep so well when my dear love I hold her, yeah
I sleep so well when her chin's on my shoulder

And everything revolves around honesty
I see you and you see me
And everything revolves around ?????????
I see you and you see me

Because I can take you somewhere, someday
I can take you somewhere, someday
Someday, someday

I know a black man, came from the south
All in his mind, all in his heart came through his mouth
And I know a brown man from Rio Grande
To see his children's grave was nothing that he planned

And although the rain leaked through his roof
At least he always knew the truth
About brotherhood

So I will sow my seed in the Motherland
Though the ground is still rocky there
Oh, the more we irrigate
The less we have to wait
For world freedom
So I will sow my seed in the Motherland
Though the ground is still rocky there
Oh, the Grand Canyon is deep
As my companion's sleep
When she's tired of the Arizona sun, sun, sun
And with prejudice like this
I make a wish
For a day with world freedom

And I know a red woman, a Navajo
And her home's a desert where a river used to flow
And I know a white woman from Austin Texas
And somehow all her blessings seem to turn to hexes

And although the rain leaked through her roof
At least she always knew the truth
About brotherhood

So I will sow my seed in the Motherland
Though the ground is still rocky there
Oh, the more we irrigate
The less we have to wait
For world freedom
Now I will sow my seed in the Motherland
Though the ground is still rocky there
Oh, the Grand Canyon is deep
As my companion's sleep
When she's tired of the Arizona sun, sun, sun
And with prejudice like this
I make a wish
For a day with world freedom

And the mother prayed on her knees bent
And the father screamed at the government
And the father prayed on his knees bent
He said "Let my people go"
And the mother screamed at the government
She said "Let my children grow" (x3)

All the hope and all the trust in me
Always must stand by you faithfully
While my hair grows long
Happiness shall linger on inside of me

My poor hamster he has long since gone
But my big brother, he just plods along
While my hair grows long
All the clippings on my wall stare down at me

Oooh, and all the sun in, all the sun in me
Could never shine half as brightly
But if my hair grows long
Civil wars will linger on inside of me

Ooh, but all the corrosion and all the rust in me
Is there only because you're far away from me
And all the hope and all the trust in me
Could never leave you alone hopelessly
But if my hair grows long
Happiness shall linger on and linger on (repeat)

Oooh, while my hair grows long
I'm sure that my heart will beat more easily
Heart will beat more easily
Oooh, while my hair grows long
I'm sure that my tears will fall more freely

My emaciated heart, my emaciated heart
It shrinks more each day I'm apart from you
And my collapsible conscience, and now my collapsible conscience
It surrenders to my indecisiveness

But I know that someday you'll miss me
I know that someday you'll miss me
I know that someday you'll miss me soon and
I'll be an empty ballroom

And now your vegetarian soul, and now your vegetarian soul
It cries for meat that makes you whole again

Oh but I'm waiting for the won'ts that make my will
And now I'm waiting for the won'ts that make my will
To leave me alone until I'm confident

That maybe someday you'll miss me
I know that someday you'll miss me
I know that someday you'll miss me soon and
I'll be an empty ballroom

My emaciated heart (x6)

If I were going blind
You would be the last thing I'll see
But if you were going deaf
I said I'd make damn sure that you listen to me
But I'm not going anywhere
At least, at least not yet
I said I might be going to a grocery store
But if I do, I won't forget my...

If I were going to a jewelry store
I'd buy you a big diamond ring
But if I were going to a candy store
I'd make sure to get you some gummi bears shrinky dinks
But I'm not going anywhere
At least, at least not yet
I said I may be going to a grocery store
But if I do, I won't forget my...

Fishsticks
I won't forget my fishsticks (x3)

If I were going blind
You would be the last thing I'll see
But if you were going deaf
I said I'd make sure that you listen to me
But I'm not going anywhere
At least, at least not yet
I said I might be going to a grocery store
Oh but if I do, I won't forget my

Fishsticks
I won't forget my fishsticks (x3)

She has a good heart, she uses it well
She fills it up daily so there won't be any dry spell
He lives on the first floor
And I can hear him laugh on the third
And he laughs like a baby cries
Like I've never heard

And he's not omniscient
And he's not arrogant
Whether or not she admits it
He is heaven sent (x3)
Heaven sent

And she has a good hand, but she uses it never
Tries to avoid any influence and emotional endeavor
And she could always cry, but she smiles instead
She's like an old sweet melody
She sings in my head:
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (x2)

And she's not omniscient
And she's not arrogant
Whether or not she admits it
He is heaven sent
And she is heaven sent
Heaven sent

She's not arrogant
And she's not omniscient
Whether or not he admits it
She is heaven sent (x2)
Heaven sent

And we have a beautiful whisper
And we whisper so well
I will always hear it in my ear
Like the whoosh of a seashell (x2)
Like the whoosh

Quiet, my heart's never quiet near you
Quiet near you
Stable, my earth's never stable near you
Stable near you

Flowing, my streams always flowing near you
Flowing near you

But will some silence in my heart turn violence
Into love and admiration, the sweet sensation
???????? seven wonders of the earth are Monday through Sunday
Monday through Sunday

Blowing, my flyers always blowing by you
Blowing by you
Reaching, my soul's always reaching for you
Reaching for you

Just because I fall from trees, all you do is rake me
Why is it you take me for a fallen leaf?
And ever since I feel raw, all you do is bake me
Why is it you take me for your recipe?

Swollen in me's a swollen injury (x2)
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out and it's no secret

And ever since I fell asleep, all you do is wake me
Why is it you take me for a little boy? 
And ever since I said I'm afraid, all you do is forsake me
Why are you so sarcastic to me?

When I see a smile on your face
Well everything starts to fall into place
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out, it's no secret

And just because I fall from trees, all you do is rake me
Why is it you take me for a fallen leaf?
And ever since I feel raw, all you do is bake me
Why is it you take me for your recipe?

Swollen in me's a swollen injury (x2)
You know I love you and I'll never quit
And now everybody I know has figured out, and it's no secret
It's no secret (x6)

My knuckles I'll crack, my teeth I will grind
I'll shuffle my feet and a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the whale that just killed my crew
It's big and it's black and it looks like Shamu
I said a monster's attack is never too kind
But let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the monster so he splashes and kicks
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

I don't like the monkeys that swing from the vine
So let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
I'll whiff on the monkeys so they won't swing around
Distract me from treasures that lie underground
Watermelon I eat and I chew on the rind
So let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
And whiff on the monkeys so they won't swing around
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

Ooooooh oh (x8)

Said I'm funky, I'm spunky, my peanut butter's chunky
My homeboy's name is Monty, and I like my trees trunky
I'm groovin' on the bass all over this place
With your funky spunky punky funky peanut butter face
I'm funky, I'm spunky, my peanut butter's chunky
My favorite sound is flunky and I like my trees trunky
I'm groovin' on the bass all over this place
With your funky spunky punky Shamu face

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x2)

Like I said,
My knuckles I'll crack, my teeth I will grind
I'll shuffle my feet and a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the whale that just killed my crew
It's big and it's black and it looks like Shamu
I said a monster's attack is never too kind
But let me repeat that a big stick I'll find
A whiff on the monster so he won't swim and kick
It's big and it's meaner than ten Moby Dicks

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, she got it, got it (x8)
