FIREWORKS
you’re dumb when you’re drunk
you don’t know how to fight
if you keep this up
we’re gonna be here all night
you said you liked fireworks
i’ll give you fireworks
come on you cowards
burn my schoolhouse down
oh i know it’s late
& you’ve had enough
see, i’m wide awake
& i’m calling your bluff
you said you liked fireworks
i’ll give you fireworks
come on you cowards
burn my schoolhouse down
i don’t need no saint
never wanted a savoir to thank
you’re never impressed
i guess i’m not that good
even when i’m at my best
you’re dumb when you’re drunk
yeah you heard me right
put up your dukes
‘cause i’ll punch out your lights
you said you liked fireworks
i’ll give you fireworks
come on you cowards
burn my schoolhouse down, down, down
come on you cowards
burn my schoolhouse down

NO COWBOY
walking home through heat lightning
my moment of triumph
i can’t stop laughing
look at what i’ve done
there’s no cowboy
running after me
screaming i’m sorry
later than last call
i learned my lesson
me & my big mouth
curtsy & stagger on home
there’s no cowboy
running after me
screaming i’m sorry
see, i’ve got no willpower
i’m always the first to cry uncle
all right already
you can stop twisting
my rubber arm
walking home through heat lightning
the birds sing all night
i’m counting my blessings
i spin i’m a catherine wheel
there’s no cowboy
running after me
screaming i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry

JIMMY
jimmy, i’m feeling so bad
the last drink last night was
the straw that broke the camel’s back
oh baby don’t you get mad
just ‘cause momma’s tired of loaves & fishes
i never wanted someone
crawling sober over a thousand broken bottles
just to be by my side
all i want is someone to turn the lights down low
& hang a do not disturb sign on my door
jimmy, what have we done?
we dropped the penny, we lost the axe, & you
burned all your bridges down
oh baby it’s too late to play dumb
the writing’s on the
wall, read the fine print & weep
i never wanted someone
crawling sober over a thousand broken bottles
just to be by my side
all i want is someone to turn the lights down low
& hang a do not disturb sign on my door
now we know nothing really matters
bring me the head of mister hollywood
on a silver platter
jimmy, i’m tired & i’m bored
we tried every trick in the book but there’s no happy ending
oh baby i will always want more
so put up or shut up when never’s forever
enough is not enough
i never wanted someone
crawling sober over a thousand broken bottles
just to be by my side
all i want is someone to turn the lights down low
& hang a do not disturb sign on my door

POSTER BOY
i wanna be your poster boy
of all the things you think are too sick to mention
i wanna be your little lamb
& follow you home
& late at night
when you are miles away & lost in dreams
i’ll still be standing on your back porch
whistling at the stars
whistling at the stars
& years from now
when you are miles away & dead to me
i’ll still be standing on your back porch
screaming at the stars
screaming at the stars
why? just tell me why! was it something i did or something i didn’t do or something i said or didn’t say? i’m a genius not a psychic i can’t read your fuckin’ mind. my darling mother tells me that i will never have closure, grow up & learn to be a normal human being unless you grow up, man up, grow a pair & tell me where i went so fucking wrong.
oh my love, my one true & only love. this is the part where we go from screaming to dreaming. that’s right because just like abba & martin luther king, i have a dream, i have a dream of a perfect dark & dangerous darling world. we’re going to lock the doors, roll down the blinds, dim the lights, & go thankfully, finally, blissfully crazy. we’ll order in ming’s special three for four to five people & a pizza & a deli platter with extra gherkins. & we’ll eat & eat & eat & drink dirty dark brown drinks until we start farting, farting like demons. & we’ll rise up & fly around the ceiling & we’ll be farting & eating & drinking
& smoking, smoking & farting, drifting & dreaming until we meet, high above the piano, & then! & then we’ll start kissing. kissing & farting & smoking & fighting. oh baby, it’ll be the love battle spectacular of the century! the love battle spectacular of the millennium! a knock-down, drag-out all you can eat conflagration of crazy, angry, filthy, sexy beauty. & we’ll never give up! we’ll never give in! we’ll go down in history kissing & farting & fighting & smoking together for ever & ever & ever amen! we gotta do it man. we just gotta do this thing. do you know why? do you know why? i’ll tell you why!
because
i wanna be your poster boy
of all the things you think are too sick to mention
i wanna be your little lamb
& follow you home

COUNTRY WEEPER NO. 2 (LAST MISTAKE)
while you were sleeping i was drinking alone at the bar
the waitress walked over she asked where you were
oh if i could explain all this pain in my heart
but it’s so big i don’t know where to start
darlin’ try to understand
i said i do, but i don’t think i can
sooner or later, a heart’s gotta break
you’re my last mistake
the ring on my finger feels kind of tight
& you know it never fit me quite right
i was a hellcat, a loner until i met you
& i’ll be alone now that we’re through
darlin’ try to understand
i said i do, but i don’t think i can
sooner or later, a heart’s gotta break
you’re my last mistake
my life is in a suitcase in the back of our car
i took all the money from our cookie jar
there’s a note on the table & food on the stove
i’ll have one more & then i’ll hit the road
darlin’ try to understand
i said i do, but i don’t think i can
sooner or later, a heart’s gotta break
you’re my last mistake
you’re my last mistake
you’re my last mistake

101 # (SO ROMANTIC)
driving down the 101
all the way to santa cruz
pretty mikey’s at the wheel
you spin the dial, shoo wop doo wop baby
whiskey singing in our blood
top shelf, two for one
rode the giant dipper twice
hangin’ on for dear life
‘cause we were so romantic, so romantic
we were so romantic, so romantic
drummer from your other band
he says we make a pretty pair
stagger down the boulevard
stupid kisses everywhere
‘cause we were so romantic, so romantic
we were so romantic, so romantic
oh how i loved you then
& oh i still love you now
but it don’t take a fuckin’ einstein
to know it was never gonna work out
anyway it was never gonna work out
anyway anyhow
sunshine morning in a golden state
two-fifty buys you breakfast all day
don’t look back when we head north
‘cause i’m scared you’ll turn into a pillar of salt
‘cause we were so romantic, so romantic
we were so romantic, so romantic
we were so romantic, so romantic

TRAINWRECK
oh i wanna be your trainwreck baby
love me when i’m lit up like vegas
at the end of the night
when they turn up the lights
i wanna be your trainwreck
let me be your sweet wallflower
kiss me like there’s no tomorrow
in the shadow of the band
hold my hot little hand
i wanna be your trainwreck
i wanna carry your books
& walk you home
always breaks my heart
to see such a pretty thing
all alone...
i wanna be your drunk medusa
fuck me when nobody’s looking
put up a fight in the pale moonlight
& love me like a trainwreck
‘cause i am your last chance captain
love me when street lights are swaying
when no one’s around
let me drag you down
‘cause i wanna
i don’t know why, i just wanna
because i wanna be your trainwreck

CYCLONE COMING
cyclone coming just for me
i see her twistinghere she comes
i’ll warn you now

all through the air blow odds & ends
but they aren’t what she’s coming for
it’s me she’s coming for
cyclone coming just for me
i see her twistinghere she comes
i’ll warn you now
best watch your step

DREAMS
you show up in my dreams
horribly scarred & bewildered
i wake up at the part
when i recognize your heart
but i don’t wanna know
sometimes on the phone babe
i just feel so disconnected
there’s static on the line
how are you i’m fine
well i don’t wanna know
is it wrong to want to feel alright?
is it wrong to want a little more?
if we make it to last call
i get up off the floor
i pay your tab & raise your glass
& say i love you baby
we should just stay home
& drink ourselves to death
watch the episode of star trek
where the captain isn’t shatner
& then i’ll make you make love
‘cause green girls really turn me on
beam me up, baby
deep in my heart
i have a secret dream
that someday you will admit
you’re a tedious alcoholic,
i’m self-righteous hysteric
who screams & cries & always gets it wrong
lock me up, baby
you show up in my dreams
horribly scarred & bewildered
i wake up at the part
when i recognize your heart
but i don’t wanna know
there’s static on the line
how are you, i’m fine
well i don’t wanna know
next time we go drinking
don’t ask me what i’m thinking
‘cause you don’t wanna know

ROOFTOP RIDER
rooftop rider, party train
would you meet me down at the donut shop
‘cause your best friend
he said he never thought you’d ever give in
princess blooms against the blue
& i’m in a mood
lord won’t you buy me
a beautiful train wreck tonight
drowning
in drunken splendour
pretty as needs be
a sailor on shore leave
i’m just
trying so hard to be tender
bali hai my little darling
come to me, come to me
stars shine high overhead
& i made my bed
so please mister please
won’t you let these sleeping dogs lie
spotlight sways from red to green
caught in between
can’t catch the swing
of this clean, clean living
drowning
in drunken splendour
pretty as needs be
a sailor on shore leave
i’m just
trying so hard to be tender
bali hai my little darling
come to me, come to me
rooftop rider
rooftop rider

ONE TRACK MIND
well i got a one track mind
i said i got a one track mind
i said i got this one track mind
dirty little pictures of you
well i got a one track mind
i said i got a one track mind
i said i got this one track mind
dirty little pictures of you
yeah i got this one track mind & my heart, my heart is a malevolent octopus monkey monster riding on the back of a huge rottweiler with pointy sharp teeth & scarlet pinwheel eyes but if you go deep inside the rottweiler’s heart there’s a baby! a beautiful precious baby! but it’s not really a baby. it’s a piñata & if you break the piñata baby it smashes into a million pieces & out jumps a tiny shiny fairytale creature, kind of a cross between a chihuahua, an angel, & a hummingbird with a diamond in its mouth & if you look closely at the flaw in the heart of the diamond you’ll see me about to say
i got this one track mind
i said i got a one track mind
i said i got a one track mind
dirty little pictures of you
dirty little pictures of you
dirty little pictures, pictures of you

THE UNIVERSAL SONG
(oooh, oooh, oh woah)
we know that you’re busy
(we know that you’re busy)
with your own busy-ness
(busy with busy-ness)
thinking ‘bout those problems we all have
(think about the problems that we all have)
we know about that stuff
(we know about stuff)
yes, life can be rough
(like ike & tina turner rough)
you got to be so tough (so tough)
to understand the things that we’re about to say
‘cause we don’t really want to connect with you
when we’re up here that’s not really what we’re trying to do
you might get the idea that we
care about the problems that you’re going through
not true, not true
not true, not true
we might tell a story about when we were young
keep the details general so it appeals to everyone
we’ll all reflect on this
while i (he) play(s) a solo on my (his) accordion
do de doo, do de doo
so please reward us for our honesty
get down on those knees & worship unconditionally
though it’s a sham & fraud
at the end you still applaud
(thank you! thank you, we love you!)
believing you’re a part of what we do
(oh you know you’re a part of what we do, oh!)
you really are the heart of what we do
(oh you know, you know, you’re the heart of what we do, oh!)
not true, not true
not true, not true
not true, not true
not true, not true
