The Golden Idol
Well, theyve made a golden idol of the girl you used to be
Hangin bangles on your branches like a lonely christmas tree.
Yeah, theyve dressed you fit for killin in your thrillin new disguise
Nailin artificial spangles to the diamonds in your eyes
In that golden coach that turns into a bed,
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.
cause theyll paint your burning beauty with a coat of shiny lies
And theyll blind you with their wine so you wont even realize
til you watch the face youre washing disappearing down the drain
And youre staring in your mirror going privately insane
And that golden crown theyve pushed down on your head
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.
Look around them golden sidewalks that youre walking on today
And youll see that lonely gutter just a careless step away
And that altar that theyre building you dont even understand
cause youre dazzled by the flashing of the daggers in their hands.
Youll be dancing in the darkness when their music disappears
And the jangle of your chains will be the only sound you hear
til your broken bodys bleeding on an altar made of stone
And youve sacrificed your soul to please a world thats sick and wrong
And you never heard a single word I said.
Aww, make it, gal, before you wake up dead.

Add Some Music To Your Day
The sunday mornin gospel goes good with the soul
Theres blues, folk, and country, and rock like a rollin stone
The world could come together as one
If everybody under the sun
Add some music to your day

Youll hear it faintly in the distance when youre on the phone

Music is in my soul
At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
Youll hear children chasing ice cream carts
Theyll play it on your wedding day
There must be bout a million ways
To add some music

Do What You Like
Dont tell me what you cant do
Never had a hold on you
And dont tell me where youd rather be
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Dont tell me what you cant do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what weve got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If its over me, its up to you
Dont make it harder than you need to
Youre old enough to hear the truth
Dont tell me what you cant do
Id do anything to make you stay
Id be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when its gone, what can you do?
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Dont let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
Ill try to be strong
But its wrong!
Im gonna have to let her go
If you walk out on me
Id be lonely as a man could be
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
Dont tell me what you cant do
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Never had a hold on you
Tell me you like, you know that you can
And dont tell me where youd rather be
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Girl, youre losing me
Youre losing me
Just do what you like
Do what you like, girl
Walk out of me, walk out of me
Girl you walk out of me
Say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me

Emerald City Sequence
(quincy jones/charlie smalls)
Emerald city green:
I want to be seen green
Wouldnt be caught dead, red
cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread
Youve got to be seen green
To show that youre stuffs layed
If youre not seen green
You better be wearing jade
Oh, youve got to be seen green
Dont tell them your cupboards bare
That you gave up one weeks feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh
An announcement from the great powerful oz:
I thought it over and green is dead
till I change my mind, the color is red
Emerald city red:
I wouldnt be seen green
Ooo! oo! oo! ah! ah!
I wouldnt be caught dead
And if Im caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
Youve got to be dead red
Youve got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht
Youve got to be dead, red
Youve got to have flash and flair
And if youre not seen red
Then you shouldnt be seen nowhere
Ah!
How quickly fashion goes down the drain.
Last week when you all was wearin pink
Already for me red was old.
The ultimate brick is gold.
Thats the new color, children
Emerald city gold:
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
You got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
You got to have old gold
Like some from a gold mine
You got to be wearin gold
The twenty four carat kind
And once youve shined it up
It should ought to make you blind, ah!
You got to be seen in gold
To show that youre super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
Its the ultimate yellow brick
Its the ultimate
Gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold!

Time Machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When theres a part of you
That needs to run with the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now look like the change is on
Tomorrows never gone
Today just never comes
Go on and jump,yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forger the pain
Its only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When youve open up your eyes
Youve got to see the promises theyve made
Theyre bloody lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
Chorus:
Youre living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that youve never seen
Somewhere youve never been
Youre living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When youve opened up your eyes
Youll see youve got invisible chains
Theyre only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent screams
Chorus:
Youre living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where youve never been
? ? ? somewhere you dont know
Youre living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are
Be what youve never been
Someone youve never seen
Youre living in a time machine
Yeah

Dead & Broken
Too many things Ive never spoken
Im not feeling fine
I never told you what to do
I never made you a promise that you could hold me to
Thatll be the day you see me crying
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
How many faces can you show me?
How many times can you be right?
Another world of fantasy
Another reason for dramatizing everything
Taking it all in just one more time
Im dying
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Sorry to see that youre underestimated lately
Id rather be dead and broken than living in your grace
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Everyday, I still say youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken
Youre dead and broken

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight

Exploder
Met a man locked away
For things he hadnt done
Innocense on a ball and chain
Never feel the sun
A grin on his face
Roses in his hands
But when he smiled at me
I could understand
If youre free youll never see the walls
If youre head is clear youll never freefall
If youre out right you never fear the wrong
If youre head is high you never fear at all
There was a daughter of a man
Took his life too young
She swore shed never do those things
Then did just what hed done
And a boy whose gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mothers dead
If youre free youll never see the walls
If youre head is clear youll never freefall
If youre right you never fear the wrong
If youre head is high you never fear at all
Cuttin me down
Cuttin me down
There was a man who had a face
It looked alot like me
I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street
Then when he turned away I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize I had killed myself
If youre free youll never see the walls
If youre head is clear youll never freefall
If youre right you never fear the wrong
If youre head is high you never fear

Oh You Pretty Things
Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
Ive made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the homo superior
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Dont kid yourself they belong to you
Theyre the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
Weve finished our news
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Dont you know youre driving your
Mamas and papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)

If youre driving roads to suicide, I know you can sympathise
If youre love is a cheatin, and youre blinded by the pain
Youre honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...
Youll be grateful when youre dead, grateful when youre dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Im shaking, I shake the spear before youre eyes
Well if you know youre history, you will read between lines
If youre waiting for a vision, to illuminate youre mind
To leave this world of misery, to leave it all behind

Last Call
He was sick of it all
Asleep at home
Told you off and goodbye
Well you know one day itll come to haunt you
That you didnt tell him quite the truth
Youre a crisis
Youre a icicle
Youre a tongueless talker
You dont care what you say
Youre a jaywalker and you just just walk away
And thats all you do
The clap of the fading out sound of your shoes
Made him ownder who he thought that he knew
Last call
He was sick of it all
The endless stream of reminders
Made him so sick of you sick of you sick of you
Sick for your sound
Sick of you coming around
Trying to crawl under my skin
When I already shed my best defense
It comes out all around that you won
And I think Im all done
You can switch me off safely
While Im lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me
Yeah yeah youre still here but just check to make sure
All you aspired to do was endure
You cant ask for more ask for none
Knowing youll never get that which you ask for
So you cast your shadow everywhere like the man in the moon
You start to drink you just want to continue
Itll all be yester year soon
You start to drink you just want to continue
Itll all be yester year soon
Church bells and now Im awake and I guess it must be some kind of
Holiday
I cant seen to join in the celebration
But Ill go to the service
And Ill go to pray
And Ill sing the praises of my makers name
Like I was as good as she made me
And I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me

Karma Patrol
Stolen a bike, take it for a ride
Commit a crime, thought you got away
Pick on a kid, only half the size
Karma patrols gonna set it straight
Whos to say whats coming or going?
Theyre the ones who call the shots
And endless search for those whove not
Paid for their delinquent way
Cause personal catastrophes
Theres a saying
A little better one than the previous
When youre mischievous
Youll get what you deserve
And its a beautiful thing
All the liquid coming out the gutter cause
Whats done is done
I cant change the past
Karma patrol is gonna get me (last)
Something happened just the other day
You helped another from another
But theres nothing coming back your way
Nobody said that life was fair
So lift your head and understand
That doing good is fine
But dont expect to find your plate full
Because the karma patrol is blind to the fact
Except that no ones perfect all the time
Raining down, walking home
When they come, you will know
All looks good, mind your way
Now youre going to pay
(better watch your back cause)
Theyve got a target on you
No matter what you do
And the water will come down
So jump to the side
Or youll get soaked straight through
To the bone
Thats what theyve shown
They have no preference for the good or the evil
But I just know one day
Theyll be coming my way

Down On Love
Some people stay all alone and hide
They dont even want to know the reason why
Theyve given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, its gonna come for you
When true love comes, its gonna comfort you
Now you say youve got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes cause your hearts gonna mend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youl fall in love again
But I know, I know that youre down on love
But youre wrong, so wrong
To be down on love
Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin rain
Face up to it and dont pretend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Just once in a life youll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries
But youre wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know youre not the only one
See Ive been down on love
In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You cant get down on love
So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love
You see you cant stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Dont get down on love
This aint right baby, no
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love

All the things you said
You thought I was dead
Everything made me feel aware
Ah, youre getting old
Youre doing things
Youre losing your hair
All the things that you used to believe in
Turned out to be true, youre guilty of reason
Youre the kind of person that
I could do without
And certain kinds of money would make you see
What its all about
Theres a first time for everything
And a first ones on me, dont you see
All of the things that your old lover said
Look at them, they jump out of windows
And now theyre just dead
Its the truth, dont you realize
Faded without any talent of fun
Running out on the streets, balling anyone
Its the truth, its the truth
Pick up the pieces that make up your life
Maybe some day youll have a wife and them alimony
Oh, cant you see
