The Big Dipper
The national nightmare has begun
Empire of fantasy with a dark gloved fist aloft
While the challenger explodes
Banks are failing coming down hard
The way things are going Im moving to the sun belt
Stars and stripes, forever is a long time
Dont ask me whats to be done
Ask what you can do for your country ?
The big dipper coming down
Miss americas lost her crown
Guess Ive spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
Weve been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide
I always thought it would have been great
To be a part of the united states
A land of unmissed opportunity
A friend seems so far ahead
A land safe on film
Untouched by reality
But like a well played record seemed to scratch
The news that real life and cinema dont match
Even forrest gump cant save us now
The king of hollywood is dead
I dont care what the president said
I dont believe in everything Ive read
The big dippers coming down
New yorks just a shanty town
That distant sound is l.a. burning down
The golden years of justice
The golden years of youth
The golden years of liberty
The golden years of truth
Laser bombin
Status seekin
Trail blazin
Frontier pushin
Space racin
Earth quakin
Jesus freakin
Serial killin
Cult crushin
Net surfin
Networkin
Fast talkin
Gun runnin
Fun lovin
America !
The big dipper coming down
Miss americas lost her crown
Guess Ive spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
Weve been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide
The big dippers coming down
New yorks just a shanty town
That distant sound is l.a. burning down
The king of hollywood is dead
I dont care what the president said
I dont believe in everything Ive read

Coming Home
Ive not been home
For so many years
And I did not regret being gone
Please tell me when did we talk
And when did we show
That we do care for something called love
Oh no, dont you despair now
Im as grown up as can be
Cant you forget everything
And this time listen to me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you help me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you love me
Its time to remember
What weve done together
I guess it is more than we know
And we should be open
And turn back the wheels
As far as we can go
I know I am your son
And everything else dont seem real
I want you back like never before
I cant take another goodbye
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, cant you be there
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, dont you leave me
Whats dones done - Im your son
Ive been hurt by your lies
I want peace after all
Thats why I want you to let me come home
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - lets fight together
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Home - Im coming home
Im coming home - time heals the scars of the past
Im coming home
Im coming home - to be by your side
Im coming home - Im coming home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Im coming home - Im coming home,............

Miss America
You were the apple of the publics eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us. how can it be real?
We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the united states, or have you lost your crown
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Well are you really who we think you are
Or does your smile seem to wear you down
Is the girl who you once were screaming jump out
And the dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride youre on wont stop to let you off
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love
Miss america, miss america
Miss america, miss america
Well its true just take a look - the cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask to read between your lines
In your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten
Well arent you miss america
Dont you miss america
Wont you miss america
Our love

Dont Look Down
Dont look down
Theyre making sorta crazy sounds
Dont look down, no
Dont know who else came to kneel
On this empty battlefield
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From central park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
I went this morning to the cemetary
To see old rudy valentino buried
Lipstick traces on his name
He never looked down
cause they were making crazy sounds
From central park to shanty town
He always heard that crazy sound
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
When I see you standing there
I cant see the clothes you wear
I just hear that crazy sound
And I cant look down
From central park to shanty town
Ive always heard that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
Dont look down
Dont look, dont look down
No I wont be bored I wont be there
Look at life its no piece of cake
When I hear that crazy sound
I dont look down
From central park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down
Dont look down, no
Well, dont look, dont look down

Whats The World Coming To
Whats the world coming to?
What they say isnt true
You cant plant no seed
Where theres only greed
I can walk anywhere
I can walk anytime
But the long highway
Is the only way
Whats the world coming to?
Whats the world coming to?
Everyones gone to the moon
Whats the world coming to?
Every night, every day
In this house filled with shame
I can say I care
But theres no one there
Theres no truth in my life
Theres no light in my eyes
And its all I guess
That Ill ever miss
Chorus
I can jump right off
Fall right in to the ocean
I can come right out
Mean just what I say
But if I dont call for a reservation
Theyll just turn me down
Turn me inside out
I dont take what they want
I dont do what they say
So Im on their list
So Im gone I guess

Maybe Just Once
I cant believe
That what I feel
Is finally happening to me
Make it hurt
And point a finger
At my insecurites
Well I guess I just dont understand
About those complexities in your mind
And I guess I just dont understand
Why this world seems so unkind
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So once again
The way you feel
Youll never ever stay the same
And Im to blame
I wonder just who made
The rules up for this game
Well I guess I just dont understand
About what you want and what you need
And I guess I just dont understand
About why this is how it has to be
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So go around
You say those thousand things
You think you have to say
Look at me
And tell me loves not such
A hard word word anyway
Well how can you can count on me
I thought you realized for sure
And how can you just believe
I thought I deserved a little more
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me

America

Far
Weve been travelling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
Theyre coming to america
Never looking back again
Theyre coming to america
Home, dont it seem so far away
Oh, were travelling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and well say grace
Freedoms light burning warm
Freedoms light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
Theyre coming to america
Every time that flags unfurled
Theyre coming to america
Got a dream to take them there
Theyre coming to america
Got a dream theyve come to share
Theyre coming to america
Theyre coming to america
Theyre coming to america
Theyre coming to america

I dont know just where Im going
But Im gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
cause it makes me feel like Im a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And Ill tell ya, things arent quite the same
When Im rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus son
And I guess that I just dont know
And I guess that I just dont know
I have made the big decision
Im gonna try to nullify my life
cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the droppers neck
When Im closing in on death
And you cant help me not, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just dont know
And I guess that I just dont know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that Id sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailors suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just dont know
Oh, and I guess that I just dont know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, its my wife and its my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then Im better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really dont care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And all the politicians makin crazy sounds
And everybody puttin everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really dont care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that Im as good as dead
Then thank your God that Im not aware
And thank God that I just dont care
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know

Estimated Prophet
My time coming, any day, dont worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way, Im in no hurry, no
Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.
Dont worry about me, nah nah nah, dont worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, nah nah nah, I know where to go.
California, preaching on the burning shore
California, Ill be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know Im gonna shine.
My time coming, any day, dont worry about me, no
Its gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin slow
Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go.
Dont worry about me, no no no, dont worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go.
California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, Ill be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know Im gonna shine.
Youve all been asleep, you would not believe me
Them voices tellin me, you will soon receive me
Standin on the beach, the sea will part before me
Fire wheel burning in the air!
You will follow me and we will ride to glory, way up, the middle of
The air!
And Ill call down thunder and speak the same and my work fills the
Sky with flame
And might and glory gonna be my name and men gonna light my way.
My time coming, any day, dont worry about me, no
Its gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin slow
My time coming, any day, dont worry about me, no
Dont worry about me, no no no, dont worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, no no no, dont worry about me, no.

Porterville
Its been an awful long time since I been home,
But you wont catch me goin back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I dont care! I dont care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I dont care! I dont care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I dont care! I dont care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that Ive been runnin ever since.
Aint no one thats bout to help, and Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!

Bigger Than America
Theres a bookstore in town where no-one reads
And those who remember will disappear
I hate to see them getting old
But theyre better dead than read
Ive just discovered something new
America called and put cables on us
Now its crazy like disneyland
The return of the soft machine
The return of the soft machine
Take a look whats going on
The entertainment has begun
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than america
Everybody can be a fool
You cant see it but you know its coming
The cars are flying and the people dying
Now were back on the wild side again
Africa screams hot, hard and mean
In europe the crimes are in the streets
So dont cry baby killer, daddys gone a-hunting
And you know hell be back again
The return of the soft machine
And you know hell be back again
Tell the truth and damn the lies
Crushed by the fortunes famous eyes
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than america
Loadin up an havin fun
The magic circle is the magic gun
Shooting for a golden star
Bigger than america

Promises
By richard feldman and roger linn
I dont care if you never come home,
I dont mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea,
cause I dont love you and you dont love me.
You cause a commotion when you come to town;
You give em a smile and they melt.
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,
But I dont like yours and you dont like mine.
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
I dont care what you do at night,
Oh, and I dont care how you get your delights.
Im gonna leave you alone, Ill just let it be,
I dont love you and you dont love me.
I got a problem. can you relate?
I got a woman calling love hate.
We made a vow wed always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la, la la la la la.
La la, la la la la la.
I tried to love you for years upon years,
You refuse to take me for real.
Its time you saw what I want you to see,
And Id still love you if youd just love me.
Chorus
La la, la la la la la.

I Know What I Like
I like things that go fast
Because I know that good things dont ever last
I like believeing in what I want to
Dont like no one to tell me what to do
And I like the times that weve had
But I coundt tell you whats good or bad
Im only hoping that you understand
This feeling that Im feeling when Im holding your hand
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?
I like the sound of breaking glass
And if you dont believe me, why do you ask?
I like leaving town, and coming back home
Im going to show you, when were all alone
I like staying up all night
Watching old movies til the morning light
I dont pretend to know whats right or wrong
But I wont like leaving, if I stay here too long
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?
I like things that dont change
Because the more something changes, the more it stays the same
I might be simple, take it easy sometimes
But I can be stubborn when Ive made up my mind
I know what I like
I know what I like to do
I know what I like, well what about you?

New Speedway Boogie
Please dont dominate the rap, jack, if youve got nothing new to say.
If you please, dont back up the track this trains got to run today.
I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill
I heard someone say better run away, others say better stand still.
Now I dont know, but I been told its hard to run with the weight of gold,
Other hand I have heard it said, its just as hard with the weight of lead.
Who can deny, who can deny, its not just a change in style?
One step down and another begun and I wonder how many miles.
I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we dont understand, but I think in time we will.
Now, I dont know but I was told in the heat of the sun a man died of cold.
Keep on coming or stand and wait, with the sun so dark and the hour so late.
You cant overlook the lack, jack, of any other highway to ride.
Its got no signs or dividing lines and very few rule to guide.
I saw things getting out of hand, I guess they always will.
Now I dont know but I been told
If the horse dont pull you got to carry the load.
I dont know whose backs that strong, maybe find out before too long.
One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.

20 Years In The Dakota
She spent twenty years in the dakota
Every single day was black in the dakota
Riot grrrls think you can stop me
And youre forever in her debt
Well I know you havent saved me
And you havent saved her yet
She spent twenty years like a virus
They want to burn the witch shes inside us
Well you, you dont f*** with the fabulous four
Or you spend the rest of your life
Picking things up off the floor
Shes still alive but I am sure
That all the stars belong to her
On california king-sized beds
Shes wrapped in rags inside my head
This is the story, this is the story of someone whos wild
Big black rules, pearl, life
(I dont remember, I forget)
Oh, baby dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like turpentine
The pee girl burns to be a bride
Your ever lovely suicide
Are they coming for me
Are they coming soon
Hey jude, hey jude
Are they coming for me

(Don't Go Back To) Rockville (edit)
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I dont care if youre not here with me
Cause its so much easier to handle
All my problems if Im too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Its not as though I really need you
If you were here Id only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
Thats not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

Its been too hard living and Im affraid to die
I dont know whats up there beyond the sky

Oh yes it is

Everybody there keeps telling me dont hang around
Its been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother, please
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees
Sometimes I thought I wouldnt last for long
But now I think Im able to carry on
Its been a long, long time coming

When did I slip?
Where did I miss you?
When did I trip over you?
And when will I fly over you?
Oh, Im going down and I dont know when

Oh, Im going down, said I dont know when

Dark has come.
Im not afraid, though.
I can become anyone.
And I dont want anyone, no.
Oh, Im going down and I dont know when

There was a trust, I shot it down.
There was a life, I shot it down.

Coming Home
It's a long and lonely highway.
When you're traveling all alone.
I was on my way to nowhere.
But now i'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
I've been running through the fire.
I've been running for so long.
If i took it any higher.
Baby i would be still be gone.
But now i'm coming home, coming home.i'm coming home.
Coming home, coming home, i'm coming home.
Well my home was really never.
On a far and distant shore.
If i stayed away forever.
I could never miss you more.
And so i'm coming home,coming home.i'm coming home.
Coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights i've been alone.
And now i'm homeward bound.
I heard the thunder over canaan.
And i've heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
"as you live,so will you die."
I'm coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
Coming home, coming home, i'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home, coming home, coming home...
