rarest lyrics

I know he'll wait for me outside
my [????????????????????]

I know he'll wait for me outside
my house all winter through

paper flowers stare at me
from the corner of my room
and somewhere in the dark
a man is crying for his doom

and an orange lantern in the middle of my ceiling
paints within my mind a feeling
of security revealing
the fearful insecurity
of some lost and wandering soul
for whom Christ died
but he doesn't even know
that there I sit within my bright and cheery room
not concerned at all
that there's a world about to fall
into the darkest depths of Hell

"oh well", I say
and snuggle into the perfect loving whole
of a God who cared so much
he saved my soul

I lend a small restricted hand and
say I'm doing what I can
how can you be so blind
can't you see they need to find
the perfect peace of mind
from the love of God so kind

oh I lend a small restricted hand and
say I'm doing what I can
how can you be so blind
can't you see they need to find
the perfect peace of mind
from the love of God so kind

and there I sit within my bright and cheery room
not concerned at all that there's a world about to fall
into the darkest depths of Hell

when I was a young boy
[???] gave me no joy
I must've overacted
they didn't get attracted
cuz of all this drama
I went and told my mama
she said, "son, I know how you feel
you gotta use your sex appeal, uh-huh"

when I grew in stature
can't be looking atcha
try to turn away-ay
you didn't want to stay-ay
a flicker of my eyelid
a subtle move of my head
and you might have to wriggle and squeal
cuz I began to use my sex appeal, uh-huh

the moral of the story
is if you're wanting glory
lacking in attraction
looking for some action
is listen to your mama
polish up your karma
you don't have to fiddle or steal
you've got to use your sex appeal, uh-huh

your imitation of love was a ridiculous thing
at the expense of an innocent heart
now go on and mimic a man who wants love back again
and doesn't even know where to start

stand naked, clown, you have nothing to wear
you've lost your cloak of laughter, and your broken heart is bare
stand in the spotlight so the whole world will know
about the tears that follow, [???} a very funny show

get down on your knees and hold up your hands
it seems you've lost your stature, and you don't walk like a man
tears have smeared your makeup, and your act is down the drain
here's your final curtain, and the only thing that's certain
is you stand naked, clown, in shame

I've been collecting matches for 20 years or more
I've got about a hundred thousand books of them sitting in my end table drawer
so that if Raquel Welch ever come knocking at my door
and asked me for a match for her cigarette, I'll be ready

I sit around in my underwear watching Gunsmoke, drinking a cold beer, when all of the sudden I hear a knock on the door. I say, "Who's that?" I think it's the guy downstairs coming up to borrow something.

"Just me!"

I say, "Who's me?"

She said, "Raquel Welch".

I say, "Hey, come on with that [???]." I figured what the hell, I think it's some chick, anyway that's better than nothing, so I go to the door, I look out and what, sure enough it is Raquel Welch, I mean what's that? "Raquel Welch, what the hell you doing in this neighborhood?"

"So I was just walking through, I visited my old mother around the corner, and as I'm slumming through I thought I'd come here."

I said, "Yeah, come on in."

She said, "Well I just wanted to light up a cigarette, and I figured I'd need a match, but I don't have a match."

I say, "Hey listen, matches." well I said, "I got a lot of matches." I said, "Come on in and get a match." I run over to the end table, get a match and light up a cigarette.

She goes, "hhhHHHhhhhooo! Oooooh, that feels good!" She says, "Oh, you have no idea how good that cigarette tastes." [???]

I say yeah. I said, "Why don't you sit down for a while." I say, "you want to watch Gunsmoke?"

She says, "Well I don't really like TV."

I said, "Well you want to listen to music?"

She said ok. So I go in there, I put on some good sides. I sit down. I say, "Hey, your feet must be tired for walking around. I said, "Want to take your shoes off and sort of sit around?"[???]

"Does this light bother you? A little too bright?"

She says, "Yeah, a little bright." I turn off the light.

I say, "You want to slip into something a little more comfortable?"

...and the next thing you know we're going steady, yeah. Why? Cuz I was ready!

oh fuck you songmeanings dot net

well now I got a girl and you might say
she's a little bit slightly jaded
she thinks the ordinary way of making love
is highly overrated

between her wild imagination and the strange deviations
I think she's going to blow my mind
cause every time I try to get into bed
here is what I find:

she's got her vibrator and a cream applicator
got her amyl nitrite box
got a bearskin rug and a outlet plug
for small electric shocks

she got a black lace slip and a big bullwhip
she got a whole lot of LSD
she got so many things in the goddamn bed
she got no room for me
no room for me

well I come around to see her just the other afternoon
and I find her getting her kicks
from a python snake and a whip cream cake
and a forty Ethiopian chicks

I said baby, let me help yo
let me help you straighten your head"
she said if you really want to help me, Shel
just set fire to the bed

she's got her vibrator, got a cream applicator
her amyl nitrite box
got a bearskin rug and an outlet plug
for small electric shocks
got a black lace slip and a big bullwhip
whole lot of DMT
got so many things in the goddamn bed
she got no room for me
no room for me

well I sent a psychiatrist around to see her
she got so so confused
that now he's swinging from a chandelier
and he's wearing her high heel shoes

she wants to get hit and then she wants to get bit
and I just ain't getting no sleep
so I'm going to leave before I get sick
and I'm taking my floppy sheep with me

she's got her vibrator, got a cream applicator
got her amyl nitrite box
she got a bearskin rug and an outlet plug
for small electric shocks
she got a black lace slip and a big bullwhip
she's got some marijuana, school of piranha
got some plastic mac and a medieval rack
she's got some football cleats and some satin sheets
she's got some zigzag papers and jar of capers
got a leather dildo and a friend named Hilda
got, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
she got some mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
vaseline and a movie screen
some magazines...

kissin'
we turn the light down low, it's kissin'
all through the TV show it's kissin'
he's not content with one or two

but how can I explain
this kissin's nearly driving me insane
for every time I think that I'll complain
he just does it all over again

he loves my kissin'
there's never ever been such kissin'
but I don't know how much I'd miss him
if he were kissin' someone new

but how can I explain
this kissin's nearly driving me insane
for every time I think that I'll complain
he just does it all over again

he loves my kissin'
there's never ever been such kissin'
but I don't know how much I'd miss him
if he were kissin' someone new

I'd like to see him kissin' someone new

come spend a day with me and Ingemor my purple kangaroo
we always have so much fun, we'd like to share some with you
come take a walk no matter how far
please come and spend the day with me and Ingemor

I know that we look kind of weird walking down the street
but that makes it easier to talk to all the weird people we meet
come take a walk now join in the fun
hurry on, hop along before the day is done

by city hall we wave to the judges at the window
they smile at us because we are the people they know
come along and smile at the judges with me
but that's not all the fun as you will soon see

into the park we can converse with some squirrels that I know
Ingemor hops away every day to look for some snow
sit there on the bench if your feet are hot
you'll soon find what you are and not what you're not

into the store Ingemor reminded me we need some bread
and he asked me to pick up some horseradish spread
don't look so sick, we eat it all the time
it's very important, besides it's in rhyme

you've spent a day with me and Ingemor my purple kangaroo
do you feel differently now? people usually do
Ingemor and I enjoy the finest things of life
horseradish sauce...and the people in life

it may seem weird to write a song about a rock
but when I consider all the other stuff I write about, I said...why not?
and commenced scribbling the lyrics heard here

Junipper is a special rock
he's really not sure just what he's not
but then, neither are the rest of us
considering what we are
Junipper is brown

he's really quite a handsome rock
hanging from my hanging chair
aw yes, he's suspended there like
most people I know
most of the time

it surprises me how much Junipper reminds me
of so many people: he's quiet, reserved
and very non-involved

hitting me on the head any time I sit down
but aside from that he's really not bad
now all I have to do is worry about the rest of us

yes, the more I think of it the more I'd rather write songs
about rocks

baseball card fever (I really got it bad)
baseball card fever

it started with my very first pack (oooooh first pack now)
a dozen cards would come in a wrap (oooooh in a bag now)
I collect 'em every chance I get (oooooh chance I get now)
I haven't lost the fever yet

cuz I've got baseball card fever
so bad

I meet my friends and we make deals (oooooh some deals now)
I made some errors and some steals (oooooh some steals now)
turned down an offer just the other day (oooooh the other day now)
to trade my favorite card away

cuz I've got baseball card fever
so bad

I watch TV for all of the games
I know all of my players' names
cards are stacking up on my floor
pretty soon I won't get out the door

collect 'em til I get real old (oooooh real old now)
by then they'll be as good as gold (oooooh good as gold now)
I'm gonna keep 'em in the best of shape (oooooh lookin' great now)
another pack I just can't wait

cuz I've got baseball card fever
so bad

etc.

when I woke up this morning
I was not surprised to see
my dog's eyes shining bright red
he was about to lunge at me

wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?

I don't know what caused it
him giving me the evil eye
one more bark and he's had it
no more room for him to lie

wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?

when I woke up this morning
I was surprised to see
my dog chewed my nose off
because of his insanity

wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?
wouldn't it be scary to have a dog gone crazy?

he was a clear-sighted, clear-eyed, farseeing
sharp-eyed guy
he had a way with words
he was a little sly

he never fell for false charm
fancy phrases that disarmed
another kind of guy
his feet were on the ground
he knew the score

but she had those bedroom eyes
that piercing look that always tantalized
only one man saw beyond her guise
cold as marble, icy blue
yeah, she had those bedroom eyes
just one look and you'd believe her lies
unfulfilled desire was her disguise
'cause she had icy blues

he met a friend in town
who seemed forlorn and down
what causes pain in him?
what causes change in him?
he was a strong man

the story he told seemed clear
about this woman dear
that he had so desired
her eyes he thought were fire
she was his fuel

he didn't understand how any kind of man
was so completely lost
in any female form
that housed a heart of frost

he'd never known anyone
who with their eyes made you numb
the signals were so crossed
logs on the fire she'd toss
skate on thin ice

but she had those bedroom eyes
that piercing look that always tantalized
only one man saw beyond her guise
cold as marble, icy blue
yeah, she had those bedroom eyes
just one look and you'd believe her lies
unfulfilled desire was her disguise
'cause she had icy blues

he was sitting in a bar
right down the street not very far
from where he saw his friend
he'd had a couple drinks
he was getting loose

he heard the music play
he saw the couple sway
to some slow popular tune
he saw her cross the room
he saw those eyes

he ordered two more drinks
one for the lady and him
the gesture it seemed right
what never fell in his sight
the empty glass filled with...ICE!

the night he passed along
he thought he'd found a song
that he could play once or twice
what never fell in his sight
sub-zero heart

but she had those bedroom eyes
that piercing look that always tantalized
only one man saw beyond her guise
cold as marble, icy blue
yeah, she had those bedroom eyes
just one look and you'd believe her lies
unfulfilled desire was her disguise
'cause she had icy blues

you've probably heard this story before
so you know what's in store
when he came back from the john
prepared to charm and entice
to break the ice

he kind of looked around
he saw the lady was gone
he didn't understand
why she had changed her plans
why did she leave?

Through hail, sleet, frost, and snow, he'd pursue until he found her. The problem was, he didn't know the ingredients that would stir her.

She'd loved a man sincerely many years ago, but one day he left her, said, "I don't love you anymore." And so when men approach her with phrases she's once heard, her eyes they go all icy blue. "I don't love you anymore"--frozen words.

but she had those bedroom eyes
that piercing look that always tantalized
only one man saw beyond her guise
cold as marble, icy blue
yeah, she had those bedroom eyes
just one look and you'd believe her lies
unfulfilled desire was her disguise
'cause she had icy blues
'cause she had icy blues
'cause she had icy blues

read it in the paper
someone stabbed you
it was really serious
but you made it through

but just a few years later
there would be more pain
cancer was your swansong
but your music remains

you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band
you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band

something made you wealthy
still an evergreen [???]
but life in the shadows
made you feel unseen

the the Fab Ones broke up
you were on your own
a triple solo album
proved that you had grown

you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band
you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band

lots of people grieving
when a genius dies
but according to your faith
you're with us in another guise

you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band
you were the underrated one
the dark horse of the band

deck the halls with steel and mortar
fa la la la la, la la la la
don't forget the purified water
fa la la la la, la la la la

don we now asbestos raiment
fa la la la la, la la la la
easy terms and no down payment
fa la la la la, la la la la

see the blazing town before us
fa la la la la, la la la la
let's give thanks our walls ain't porous
fa la la la la, la la la la

praise we now our earnest labor
fa la la la la, la la la la
love thy shelter, shoot thy neighbour
fa la la la la, la la la la

a word for love, it feels the same
bringing feelings I can't name
like soft and quiet summer nighttimes
candlelight and ringing windchimes

and the elec-lovin-tricity
is good as it should always be
why can't everybody see
feel the way that it should be

friends who share, you know they care
like to see you, let you be you
there's no fear, you know it's good here
there's no fear, you know it's warm here

and the elec-lovin-tricity
is good as it should always be
why can't everybody see
feel the way that it should be

the traffic noise, the city frowns
they don't belong, could bring me down
but warm inside I'll have to sing
and know it doesn't mean a thing

elec-lovin-tricity
is good as it should always be
why can't everybody see
feel the way that it should be

outside she's happy, always a smile
outside the envy of all
but inside she wants a place to stop
to think and untangle and for once just to talk

they speak without meaning
they look without seeing
they are without seeing
is she one of them?

she cries behind the smile but nobody hears
the mouths move silent and the blank eyes stare
if two could but capture the golden afternoon
glass would stain the blank, nature shares the tune

a statue smiles with a crack in her neck
little frozen children play with the dove
the dead snore softly as within goes without
to embrace all-encompassing love

but the man with the sprinkler mentions the time
the union is severed and she must climb
back into self suit, join the outside
but this time there's a memory to warm (?) the inside

Toni, get up. This is Monday, honey. Toni, get outta that bed!

oh, how I dread, gosh how I dread
to hear my mama say
get up
you sleepyhead
get up
get outta that bed
get up
cause it's a Monday morning and you gotta go to school

brush your teeth
don't want no tears
comb your hair
wash behind your ears
hurry up
honey your breakfast is waiting and your oatmeal's gonna cool

speaking of oatmeal, your daddy's big and strong because he ate
in gobs of it
finish that oatmeal, and if you are late
it's gonna go hard on your report card

get up
put your middy blouse on
get up
all the kiddies have gone
get up
cause it's a Monday morning and you gotta go to school

speaking of oatmeal
your daddy's big and strong because he ate it
(I hate it!)
finish that o-o-oatmeal
and if you are late
it's gonna go hard on your report card

get up
put your middy blouse on
get up
all the kiddies have gone
get up
cause it's a Monday morning and you gotta get up
don't be so slow
cause it wouldn't be right to be late for school

she earns her living by walking for miles
though she's dog-tired, she always smiles
she works in a bar and you're her guest
she's known by the name of a waitress

one rum with cola, one scotch and soda
one vodka with orange juice
one dry martini, two daiquirinis
and a whiskey and a water too

she never seems to tire, the higher you get
a-used to the drink you call the waitress
she knows you by name, she knows what you're drinking
by the end of the evening she knows what you think

one rum with cola, one scotch and soda
one vodka with orange juice
one dry martini, two daiquirinis
and a whiskey and a water too

she's heard every line that's ever been thrown
by [?????] she goes home alone
she's good with the talking, gets you out of a mess
this little Confucius called a waitress

one rum with cola, one scotch and soda
one vodka with orange juice
one dry martini, two daiquirinis
and a whiskey and a water too

I was standing by the door when I saw you stagger up to the gate
I grabbed a rolling pin but it's just about a second too late
I watched you pick up your suit and run
and I said to myself, 'he's a drunken son of a gun'

well mean
ooh, you're mean
you're the devil's half brother and there ain't no in-between
when you're mean I get mad and I rave
you'd better pick your undertaker cause they're already digging your grave

you're 6-foot-3 and you think you ain't nothing but man
they'll probably send you up for life if they [?????]
you're sweet, ooh that's a fact
even when I'm mad I keep a-wishing that I had you back

well mean
ooh, you're mean
you're the devil's half brother and there ain't no in-between
when you're mean I get mad and I rave
you'd better pick your undertaker cause they're already digging your grave

I bought a new shotgun and I'm just about ready to explode
I wouldn't shoot you for the world, but you're standing where I'm aiming a load
you're sorry and you're all alone
you'd better keep a-running cause it still ain't safe to come home

well mean
ooh, you're mean
you're the devil's half brother and there ain't no in-between
when you're mean, I get mad and I rave
you'd better pick your undertaker cause they're already digging your grave
you'd better pick your undertaker cause they're already digging your grave
you'd better pick your undertaker cause they're already digging your grave

burgy dog food, you will like it, yes you would
boy it's really something special

boy oh boy, what we doggies have to suffer
in colour on tv, you won't believe it
but it's the truth, I've seen it tonight
with my own two doggy eyes
one with meat, with fish, or rice
good grief, god brother
one even better than the other, oh boy,
what to do, I really don't know
where it's leading to

burgy dog food, you will like it, yes you would
boy it's really something special
burgy dog food will make another dog of you
it's for every little rascal

dere are people, gee, they sure are stupid
to think we have no taste, I just can't stand it
I won't accept it, I refuse
to be an underdog any longer
than to think there's something new that'll make you stronger
so I wonder why you hesitate
don't be a fool and buy a plate
before it's too late

burgy dog food, you will like it, yes you would
boy it's really something special
burgy dog food will make another dog of you
it's for every little rascal

well they've turned me loose in a big old world all my own
though I've got the world by the tail I don't seem to have a home
so I guess I'll just roam around up here in outer space
well they've turned a knob and I've got the job, lord help the human race

old Sputnik they call me, I'm as crazy as a loon
I'm pretty high up in the sky but I'll never reach the moon
I don't know what they expect of me but they'll make all connections
why they blasted me off so doggone fast I didn't even get direction

coming close to old moon face, I thought I'd drop anchor and just look awhile
I wonder why everyone wants to see him so bad, why he don't even smile
up here beeping and chasing around I don't see what could be found
and believe me I'd rather be down there looking up than stuck up here looking down

well I've showed the world from side to side what's in my power to do
I played my cards and I played 'em hot, the rest is up to you
there's a saying that's been a-going on, so let this be a token:
'united we stand, divided we fall' — no words were truer spoken

well it's about time to be gliding along
so until I get back on this side of the world again
this here's old Sputnik signing off

Brenda Lee, she's a cutie
flighty as a butterfly
bobby socks, ponytail
snubby to the flirty guy
'twas only one thing on her mind and that was getting out of Central High

Brenda Lee, she's a sophomore
I never saw her laugh or cry
she's growing up so fast
studied as her days went by
she's ranking third in her class in her second year at Central High

Brenda Lee, she's a senior
and brighter than the summer sky
she didn't dance, didn't date
always had an alibi
but she shook up everybody at the prom dance at Central High

Brenda Lee, she's a beauty
she came in with a handsome guy
she sang songs, she entertained
and waved her alma mater goodbye
and had reporters [taking pictures of her?] walking out of Central High

like there's not another thing to do
yes you
I (???) little brothers just like you

tag along
don't you know you shouldn't always tag along
someone ought to tell you that it's awful wrong
don't you think we want to be alone
sometimes

tag along
there will come a day when you'll be dating Lou
then I hope her little brother bothers you
when you go where teenage lovers go
oh

oh why oh why don't you just go
find something else that you can do
like taking strychnine
say, you'd look just fine
with all the other monkeys up at the zoo

tag along
everywhere we go you have to tag along
just a lot of junk we have to drag along
to places little brothers shouldn't go
oh no
cause you tell every little thing you know

used to sing a song about
a girl from Abilene
she's the one who stood beside him
when there was life left in his dream

she got lost between the bright lights
and the bottle he crawled in
but her memory's there between
the 45s and 8x10s

I remember when he got his call
to go to Tennessee
to sing his songs with Hank and Roy
on the Grand Old Op-a-ry

to say it took a fifth of courage
for him to face the mic
he forgot the words to his song
and ran offstage and cried

for a little while some folks wondered
where he went to after that
but there were other songs and singers
he was forgotten pretty fast

he went to work the southwest
doing odd jobs now and then
and who he almost was is on the 45s and 8x10s

and that old a-45 so scratchy
I ain't understood it yet
it's a song that he recorded
many years ago for Chet
and in the bottom of his a-guitar case
a glossy 8x10
shows a young man smiling back
that's who he was way back then

last time we met I said
'you oughta try again
lots of folks today would like the way
you sang back then

'and you could be up there again
I think if you just would'
he bummed a cigarette and a beer and said
'yeah I guess I could'

he was cleaning up the parking lot
at the red top speedy lunch
I was headed back to Nashville
I said, 'I'll stay in touch'

he took my hand and said
'I never will forget you, friend'
and he gave me a beer-stained 45 and 8x10

and that old a-45 so scratchy
I ain't understood it yet
it's a song that he recorded
many years ago for Chet
and in the bottom of his a-guitar case
a glossy 8x10
shows a young man smiling back
that's who he was way back then

today I had a letter
from a Texas friend of mine
down near the end he said
'by the way, your new old [?] cowboy died'

guess he died the way he lived
without a future or a friend
just a bottle
and a worn-out 45 and 8x10

and that old a-45 so scratchy
I ain't understood it yet
it's a song that he recorded
many years ago for Chet
and on the wall of Tootsie's orchid lounge
a beat-up 8x10
shows a young man smiling back
that's who he was way back then

if I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I wouldn't have a Buck Owen on my car
I'd give Dolly a Parton the good life
and get me a Bonnie Guitar

I'd Sue Thompson for driving Conway Twitty
I'd have Johnnie Wright there digging oil Wells Kitty

if I had Johnny's Paycheck
Charlie'd Walker home from work no more
I'd try to Warner Mac she was making
poor Merle Haggard and sore

oh Homer, why'd Jethro your chances away
you drove Dottie West, I saw Billy Edd Wheeler away

if I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I'd buy Minnie Pearls that glitter
she's built like a Stonewall Jackson
you shoulda seen the letter Tex Ritter

if Jeannie'd C. Riley
she'd check Billy's Grammer fully
if Hank Snows he'll get Ben Colder
wearing Sheb's Wooleys

if I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride
I'd know what's keeping Faron Young that way
what's making Ferlin Husky
and Merve Shiner car each day

I'd turn Jack Greene, Claude Gray, Jim Ed Brown
and Carl Belew
if I had Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride, and you, babe
Johnny's Cash, Charley's Pride, and you

when them revenuers come snooping round my still
make them hit that dusty road, run 'em over the hill
I don't want them skunks a-messing with my mash
they can't have my mountain dew, less'n they got the cash

hey, maw, set the dawgs on 'em

there's a sport I know that lives down in the town
and he teases all the girls, kicks their poor hearts around
when that scallywag comes courtin', and he may
she's too young to have a beau, you just send him away

hey, maw, set the dawgs on 'im

every year you know your income tax is due
but I don't have none to [???], make it mountain dew
when that feller comes a-asking for my tax
you just holler through the door, "beat it! go home, relax"

hey, maw, set the dawgs on 'im

there's an evil one, the Good Book does declare
he will drag you down in sin, drag you down by the hair
when that Satan boy comes knocking at mt door
tell him things are not the same, I don't know him no more

hey, maw, set the dawgs on 'im

every year or so the stork comes flying round
and he always stops by here, drops a bundle right down
we've got 15 kids and we don't want no more
if that big bird comes again, I will really get sore

hey, maw, set the dawgs on 'im

there's a widow who lives just down the road a ways
she's as cute as any bug and she's got loving ways
when I'm making love to that sweet widder [???]
and my wife comes snooping round, tell her I've gone to town

hey, shomebody, set the darn dawgs on 'im fer me, will ya

far out in deepest space
I see my loved one's face
I've been drifting in stellar drive
keeping my frozen brothers alive
she's sleeping with them waiting for our new world

far out in deepest space
I see my loved one's face
bodies sleeping at the speed of light
energy beams traversing the night
I'm scared for them until I return to see

back on our world
things got so bad
took away our minds
antennas wired into
human androids
we escaped and stole this starship
now we're frozen in time
many light years between us and our new world

far out in deepest space
I see my loved one's face
taking turns piloting this starship
none of us can outlive the entire trip
there are no waking hours for me and my sweet love to share

far out in deepest space
I see my loved one's face
I've been drifting in stellar drive
keeping my frozen brothers alive
she's sleeping with them waiting for our new world
she's sleeping with them waiting for our new world

far out in deepest space
far out in deepest space

let me tell you the story, honey
about Billy, Billy, Billy

there was a young boy named Billy
a two-timing heel was he
kissed me and called me sweetie
and then he ran off with Rosa Lee

Billy, Billy, Billy

now do you know what that two-timing Billy did to me?

he asked me to marry him
he even set the wedding date
but when he saw Rosa Lee
that Billy Billy ran away

Billy, Billy, Billy

so far, so bad
now let's get set for the good part

now Billy had a brother named Tony
and Tony came to comfort me
when Tony touched my hand
I knew new love began

Billy, Billy — what am I saying
Tony

well I know a little ditty
it's as crazy as can be
the guy who wrote it wanted it
so he handed it to me

I found I couldn't use it
for it sounded kind of blue
and that's the very reason why
I'm handing it to you

it's the song the alligators sing
while coming through the rye
and serenade the elephants
up in the tree so high

the iceman hums this ditty
as he shovels in the coal
and the monkeys join the chorus
up around the northern pole

ain't we crazy
ain't we crazy
this is the way we pass the time away

ain't we crazy
ain't we crazy
we're gonna sing this song all night today

it was midnight on the ocean
not a streetcar was in sight
the sun was shining brightly
for it'd rained all day that night

'twas a summer's night in winter
and the rain was snowing fast
a barefoot boy with shoes on
still is sitting in the grass

'twas evening and the rising sun
was setting in the west
and the little fishes in the trees
were cuddled in their nests

the rain was pouring down
and the sun was shining bright
and everything that you could see
was hidden from your sight

now the cows were making cowslips
and the bells were ringing wet
and the little bumblebees in the trees
were smoking cigarettes

a man came in the stable
and came out a little horse
he hopped up on his golf sticks
and drove all around the course

ain't we crazy
ain't we crazy
this is the way we pass the time away

ain't we crazy
ain't we crazy
we're gonna sing this song all night today

thought I'd have a little music
so I knew what I would get
went and bought a cute canary
thought I'd have it for a pet

never get a little music
for this bird won't sing a word
think I bought a mute canary
he is seen but never heard

gooney bird
you are acting kind of loony, bird
you're supposed to sing and croon, bird
but I never hear you

gooney bird,
you are acting very moony, bird
sing a little tiny tune, bird
tell me how to cheer you

when I bought you in the shop
they said 'boy, this bird won't stop!'
so I cheerfully departed
'stop!?'—you never started

gooney bird
you are acting pretty gloomy, bird
dirty looks you're giving to me
won't you sing tonight?
don't fight
alright
you might
need a little food
to get in the mood
have a little crumb
then begin to hum
he's a little pride
and a little rude
also very dumb
ouch, he ate my thumb!

well, that's the story of my bird
he refused to sing a word
thought he found a feather nest
just to hang around and rest
but that silly kid, he muffed it
because you know what I did?
I stuffed it!

gooney bird
he was acting very loony, bird
never sang a single tune, bird
gooney bird
could have been Rosemary Clooney bird
but instead he's dead

beyond this world, beyond the sky
a thousand tales like hidden gold
wait for the listening, beg to be told

deep deep in the infinite blue of the vast cosmos
there sails a very special and magical starship
sallying forth through the void

sallying forth through the void on a mission of love
bringing divine peace and joy to all hearts
bringing divine peace and joy to all hearts is the Starship True
is the Starship True

navigating the Starship True
on her graceful and swift journey through the infinite
is her wise and fearless captain
is her wise and fearless captain Sally Ride

as she takes us deeper within galaxies and atmospheres unknown
she smiles - she smiles and we fear not
she smiles and we fear not

the Starship True is surrounded by strata of love vibrations
as our astro ride takes us beyond hither
we realize not only is the universe stranger than we can imagine
it is stranger than we can imagine

Sally's love goes round the world
it is infinite and eternal
Sally's love swirls through all receptive souls like a mighty ocean
if we'd only calm ourselves and tune in
if we'd only still our restless thoughts
the Starship True will come to us
the Starship True will come to us
will be with us if we only calm ourselves and tune in
if we only still our restless thoughts
the Starship True will come to us
will be with us for always and always and always
for always we are everywhere with Sally
we are everywhere with Sally
we are everywhere with Sally
everywhere with Sally
we are everywhere with Sally

we are everywhere with Sally

I find, given the time, no one will
believe what they see in their mind
they try to see with their eyes, and
when they are deceived they sit down and cry
you're really not a chicken cause you learned wrong
children of the future, don't get burned!

alien, my brother
traveling up in space
alien, my brother
likes the human race

I heard a nation will scream, when you take all its people and
impose your dreams
could be, one of these days, the dream's
not yours and you're lost in a maze
you're really not a chicken cause you learned wrong
children of the future, don't get burned!

alien, my brother
traveling up in space
alien, my brother
likes the human race

don't you call it evil
if it moves you off your seat
teaches you a lesson
so next time you won't get beat
you're sickened and you're saddened
with countries that are poor
you see all around you, people wanting more

I find, given the time, we can now
all believe what we see in our minds
you know, dreams are true, till you
wake up tomorrow and there is no you

if you learned wrong
children of the future, don't get burned!
yeah, children of the future, don't get burned!

things are not the way they seem
life is real not just a dream
life is real not just a dream

people rioting in streets and yet there's more than meets the eye
wonder why
wonder why

war is fought to keep the peace and yet they never cease and men die
wonder why
wonder why

things are not the way they seem
life is real not just a dream
life is real not just a dream

kids taking LSD to find reality they never find
never mind

Christians where have they gone to pray and sing a song, no lights shine
never mind
never mind

life is real not just a dream

men saying God is dead and yet have they never read of him?
what a sin
what a sin

people everywhere preach love and yet don't care for men
what a sin
what a sin

things are not the way they seem
life is real not just a dream
life is real not just a dream

leaves are falling
time is slowing down
something is calling
my mind to another town

and in our house there's a room that still haunts me
creeps into dreams for no reason at all
green threadbare carpet, a feeling of emptiness
paint on the curtains and ink on the walls

how long the nights were
strange thoughts in my head
staring into darkness
wandering in my bed

and in December I'd see them ride by
reindeers a sleigh leading in my mind's eye
where had you been when you brought the toy soldier
you always seemed to be waving goodbye
goodbye
goodbye

sing me a lullabye, little boy blue
someone is waiting in my brother's room

questions in my head
so much was left unsaid

sing me a lullabye, little boy blue
someone is waiting in my brother's room

when it rains or when it snows, a driver has to take special care

rain is a gentle thing
but not when you're driving
look at the silent snow
but remember to go slow

fog gently blankets the ground
turn on your lights and slow down
but when it's stormy and dark
and the temperature drops
the smart driver always stops

it's important to adjust your driving habits to driving conditions. expert drivers do

city driving takes special driving skills

cities and towns are wonderful places to be
but for drivers they might be difficult places to see
people and cars are all around you
buses and trucks all seem to surround you

but a moment's hesitation
just a little consideration
might be just the thing to do
to keep the city from driving you

before tackling the challenge of city traffic, a new driver must be sure he's ready

people and cars are all around you
buses and trucks all seem to surround you

but a moment's hesitation
just a little consideration
might be just the thing to do
to keep the city from driving you

a good driver must know all about his brakes, and stopping distances too

there's a whole lotta horsepower galloping under that hood
and there's a whole lotta difference in how fast you go
and how fast you could

if you put that pedal down to the floor
every time you get inside the door
when the wrong this happens
brakes
won't do you any good

you might hear a driver say, 'I can stop 'er on a dime'
well, he can't. and you're better off if you don't drive with him.
cars 👏 don't 👏 stop 👏 on 👏 dimes 👏

there's a whole lotta horsepower galloping under that hood

when you take the wheel for the first time, you'll experience the fun of going places and doing things
and you'll discover a whole new world of being on the move

driving a car can be an exciting thing
the world hurries by and you feel like a bird on the wing

but the hand that steers better know how to do it
for you could be dead wrong if you should think
there is nothing to it

driving a car will open up a whole new world of freedom
and with that freedom there are new responsibilities to match

but the hand that steers better know how to do it
for you could be dead wrong if you should think
there is nothing to it

driving a car can be an exciting thing
driving a car can be an exciting thing

driving rules are made to protect everyone
that's why they have to be observed and enforced

you ought to know by now
that speeding gets you nowhere fast
and the less you use your head
your right to drive will never last

but there are many other things that you will
have to know, like when a signs says stop
that's what it means and not just slow

the best possible situation on our roads and highways would be if everyone drove according to assisting laws
driving is both a right and a privilege. if you abuse that privilege...

your right to drive will never last

but there are many other things that you will
have to know, like when a signs says stop
that's what it means and not just slow

but there are many other things that you will
have to know, like when the light is green
that' is the only time to go

but there are many other things that you will
have to know, like when a sign says stop
that's what it means and not just slow

anyone who drives should have some knowledge of the natural laws of motion

hey buddy do you know
the force that helps you go
and turn in any direction
it's a thing, mmhmm, called friction

and when you're on the move
yeah, really in a groove
what keeps you going on your course?
of course! centrifugal force

when you're behind the wheel
there are things you may not feel
but they help you get you on your way

like gravity and speed
and the stopping time you need
you've got to know them because
they are all, uh huh, natural laws
they are all, uh huh, natural laws

some of nature's laws affect driving so directly, you can't drive intelligently without knowing how they work

most everybody wants to drive a car
but how many people really should?

it's for sure, not maybe
that a grown up baby
doesn't belong behind the wheel

and the boy who blows his top
every time he has to stop
can't drive on an even keel

the silly so-and-so
who thinks he has to show
how loud his tires squeal

is just about as bad
as the dull-witted lad
who thinks every other driver is a heel

when a hothead gets behind the wheel, he can be pretty dangerous
and that's exactly why studies are being made on the behavior patterns of drivers

it's for sure, not maybe
that a grown up baby
doesn't belong behind the wheel

and the boy who blows his top

who thinks every other driver is a heel
he thinks every other driver is a heel

in order to clarify the natural laws of motion
and in order to adapt driving to these laws, man has come up with some common sense rules of his own

for the good of all concern
we have many driving rules
and we'd be a lot of fools if we ignored them

safety rules that should be learned
to avoid the danger zones
for without the rules we're only rushing toward them

so when you're on the road
keep to the right
keep the traffic that's around you
well in sight

know who has the right of way
passing on the left's ok
just as long as there's no solid line beside you

don't forget about your speed
and the distance you may need
and when you're in doubt these safety rules will guide you
will guide you
these safety rules will guide you

the wind in the trees, the dances of leaves
are making it easy for me to believe
the wonderful things you promised we'd see
must be a sample of how it will be

the midsummer sun, so good for your health
pills are still selling but not very well

I never have seen such a natural morning like this
the only thing that feels left out is your kiss

I really don't mind if you're just a bit late
I'm taking it easy, enjoying the wait
there's nothing to do and nothing to say
it's gonna be worth it, it's gonna be great

I never have seen such a natural morning like this
the only thing that feels left out is your kiss

the warm sun feels good today
the (?????????????????)
but I need you more today
than any other day of my life
mmmmmmmmmmmmyeah

it's all that you get on the natural morning like this
mmmmmhmmmmm
the only thing that feels left out is your kiss, yeah

it's all that you need on the natural morning like this
the only thing that feels left out is your kiss

oh that wooden girl of mine
dancing in my head
strings tied to her arms and legs
strings tied to her head

when she says she loves me so
like the way I feel
like to think 'bout wooden girl
like to dream she's real

when she says she loves me so
I go around this world
even though she's made of wood
she still is my girl

love that funny wooden girl
I'd love to take her out
she loves me and I love her
that I have no doubt

there are times when I just realize
she's just an illusion to my eyes
sometimes I forget just how she seems
then I realize she's just a dream

when she says she loves me so
I go around this world
even though she's made of wood
she still is my girl

love that funny wooden girl
I'd love to take her out
she loves me and I love her
that I have no doubt

there are times when I just realize
she's just an illusion to my eyes
sometimes I forget just how she seems
then I realize she's just a dream

sometime she has bravery
sometimes she has fears
sometimes she has happiness
sometimes she has fears

well I guess you know by now
we are more than friends
now I know you learn of us
so our story ends

if Kinsey was right about how many might be gay
we needn't look far to find many who are that way

if 1 out of 6 is true
hell, 1 out of 10 will do
it makes little difference
there's still the inference
that we are more than a few

E. M. Forster and Gertrude Stein
at least two dancers in a chorus line
and Ms. George Sand and the boys in the band
are playin the gay name game

Elaine Noble and Joan Baez
J. Edgar Hoover (so everyone says)
Sappho and Bacon and Marlowe weren't fakin
when they played the gay name game

Oscar Wilde and Sister George
some of the troops at Valley Forge
Father Malcolm Boyd and maybe Sigmund Freud
are playing the gay name game

Charles Lawton and Radcliffe Hall
Truman Capote and Gore Vidal
even His Holiness read The Well of Loneliness
playin the gay gay gay name game

well if you're keeping count, then you know the amount is high
the books may be wrong, but I promise this song won't lie

there are some celebs with whom
I may take some elbow room
yet all throughout history
when there's some mystery
straight is what they all assume

Big Bill Tilden and Dave Kopay
Elton John and Rita Mae
even Billy Sive, if he were alive
he would be playin that gay name game

Alice Toklas and Isherwood
the governor of— I wish I could
you could pass the test with Vita Sackville-West
when you're playin the gay name game

Lenny's da Vinci and Matt Levitch (???)
even after a 12-year hitch
if it hadn't come too late, Alexander the Great
he would be playin that gay name game

I could add to this thrilling list
but you've probably got the gist
and I won't just give the nod to any old sod
who wants to play the gay name game

Fuck give it to me

Fuck the Beastie Boys and the Daili Llama
Fuck the rain forest
Fuck a Forest Gump
You probably like it in the rump
Fuck a shoe pump
Fuck the real deal
And fuck all the fakes
Fuck all fifty two states, oooh
And fuck you
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Say fuck the world
Fuck the world!
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Fuck 'em all
Fuck 'em all
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Say fuck the world
Fuck the world!
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Fuck 'em all
Fuck 'em all
Fuck Oprah
Fuck opera
Fuck a soap opera
Fuck a pop locker, and a cock blocker
Fuck your girlfriend I probably did her already
Fuck kyle and his brother tom petty
Jump steady, my homey fuck 'em what are ya gonna do?
Fuck that bitch fuck you
Yeah well fuck you too
Don't bother to analyze these rhymes
In this song I say fuck ninety three times
Fuck the president
Fuck your welfare
Fuck your government, and fuck Fred Bear
Fuck Nugent, like anybody gives a fuck
You like to hunt a lot, so fuckin what!
Fuck disco
Count or Monto Crisco
Fuck Cisco, and Jack and Jerry Brisco
And fuck everyone that went down with the titanic, in a panic
I'm like, fuck you all!!!!
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Say fuck the world
Fuck the world!
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Fuck 'em all
Fuck 'em all
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Say fuck the world

Fuck Celine Dion, and fuck Dionne Warwick
You both make me sick, suck my dick
Fuck the Berlin Wall, both sides of it
And fuck Lyle Lovett, whoever the fuck that is
Fuck everybody in the hemisphere
Fuck them across the world
And fuck them right here
You know the guy that operates the Rouge River draw bridge
In Del Ray on Jefferson?
Fuck him!
Fuck your idea
Fuck your gonorrhea
Fuck your diarrhea, Rocky Maivia
Fuck your wife your homey did
He's fuckin' you
Fuck the police, and the 5-0 too
Fuck spin, rolling stone, and fuck vibe
Fuck everybody inside
Whoever's on the cover, fuck his mother
Fuck your little brothers homey from around the way
And fuck violent J

وين ضاع الحنان؟
والحب اللي كان؟
أنقولك ياحبيبي
تقولي كان زمان

وين فرحة عيونك؟
وين كنت نلاقيك؟
وين حيرة ظنونك
يوم نغيب عليك

واليوم تقابلني
وأنت مشغول عني
ونشوف بعيونك
نظرات النسيان (x2)

من غير ما أنت تقول
حسيت بالنهاية
عني البال مشغول
وفكرك مش معايا

وصرت تقابلني تقابلني
وأنت مشغول عني
ونشوف بعيونك
نظرات النسيان (x2)

وين ضاع الحنان؟
وين حيرة ظنونك
يوم نغيب عليك

وين ضاع الحنان؟
والحب اللي كان؟
أنقولك ياحبيبي
تقولي كان زمان

وين فرحة عيونك؟
وين كنت نلاقيك؟
وين حيرة ظنونك

uh yeah, this thread is for rare, self-transcribed, slightly dopey lyrics that can't be found anywhere else on the internet. everything else belongs in the unrarest lyrics thread

cross the plains of time in a crooked line
come a ragged band of people
they look like you and they look like me
and they're looking for a place to roam

is there anyone to shade the sun
and wash their thirsty faces
to cool their souls and give them hope
for a place to call their own?

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now the Indians have been here 10,000 years
let me tell you what they did do
they walked barefooted through this land
to save it for me and you

but we've been here such a short time
but look at what we're doing
I don't think even the Indians
can save this place from ruin
no, save this place from ruin

but the big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now I talked to Jesus the other day
he said, "how are you doing?"
I said, "fine, but is there anything
that I should know while I'm a-growing?"

he said, "I told you to love your brothers
and I meant just what I said
but now I see it'll do little good
if he's got no place to lay his head"

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

big ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come get along home now
big ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now when I first met my sister Laurie Ann
she was a little bitty baby
she had big eyes and tiny little feet
she crawled right into my heart

now she'd been here about 18 years
just a-learning a-for the knowing
she sat me on the ground, she took my hand
said the grass was meant for growing
yeah, the grass is meant for growing, ooohhhooohhhooohhhooo
meant for growing

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home

hey come come, come-come-a-come
come-a come along home now
hey come come, come-come-a-come
everybody come along home

hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come come along home now
hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now don't you wear your pajamas to bed
cause you'll catch cold and you'll die
only wear your true love and [???]
should keep you warm for the rest of your life

cause she's a magic woman inside
there's miracles a-burning
so roll yourself in her loving arms
and join the earth in turning, yeeeaaahhh
join the earth in turning, ooohhhooohhhooohhhooo
the earth in turning

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come come along home

now you can fight a revolution all day
but the night is meant for sleeping
go leave your house about 1 in the morning
just to see who's left out there

down the broken road comes a ragged hobo
with sorrow on his head
bring him home, give him a drink
tuck him safe into your bed, yeeeeahhhh
safe into your bed
mmmmmaaaawwwhhhaawwww, safe into your bed

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come come along home

hey come come, come-come-a-come
come-a come along home now
hey come come, come-come-a-come
everybody come along home

hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come come along home now
hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home

yeah the big mama earth say hey-hey-yeah
hey come along home now-now-now-now-now-now-now
yeah the big mama earth say
come come along home

hmm ok gotcha, unreg, soz

's awright

slip across the wind unto the poet's ear
tell him I'm calling
my spirit's calling

and if he seems to wonder why what you've come
tell him, this I've said
to lighten his own head

the lights are there within my eyes growing the sky
tell him to hurry
the vision's worthy

and if he seems at all as his own self
tell him, this I've said:
the sun and moon have wed

bid him move along the path beneath the sea
tell him it's morning
as also evening

and if he seems at all as out of himself
tell him, this I've said
as a gift unto his head

[moog solo]

now be upon your way as wings upon the wind
and do not tarry
not even for Mary

he sweeps the steps of crescent hill now every day
and needs an answer
a loving answer

and always at her side and hanging off your clothes
the sister's staring
completely purring
I've seen love in her eyes

so be upon your way as wings upon the wind
and do not tarry
oh please do hurry
add this gift unto her sight

[moog solo]

slip across the wind unto the poet's ear
tell him I'm calling
my spirit's calling
my spirit's calling
my spirit's calling, la la la la

hanging off her clothes / add this gift unto his sight

I first met Jack on a cold dark day
I held him close with my hands
we had a little fun and watched the sun come up
but my mama she would never understand

Jack wore black and a paper sack
he came from the wrong side of town
but I loved him neat and he tasted sweet
but it was hard for me to keep him down

oh why can't I ever break away
seems the things I love most are the things I hate
and people will talk but they'll still be upset
and I'm the one that's changed

Jim was a good old Kentucky son
I met when I left Tennessee
ain't nothing at all like a brown-eyed boy
to wash away your misery

I started to feel I was far from home
and I needed to talk with a friend
when I woke up it was an empty cup
and a voice that was ringing in my head

oh why can't I ever break away
seems the things I love most are the things I hate
and people will talk but they'll still be upset
and I'm the one that's changed

the girl in a topless bathing suit came down upon the beach
the surfers gather round her on the sand
they left so many surfboards abandoned on the sea
you could have walked the ocean to Japan

well, left the sea for the girl without a top
more to see on the girl without a top
could she be a former nudist who was trying to taper off
what's the story on the girl without a top?

a foreign country's submarine was cruising off our shore
gazing at our coast so bright and clear
through the periscope the captain saw the girl without a top
and ran the submarine into the pier

well, sunk by the girl without a top
they were sunk by the girl without a top
could she be an undercovered agent with the CIA?
what's the story on the girl without a top?

a handsome young policeman bravely marched upon the scene
to arrest the girl who swam without a top
he took out after her and she headed down the beach
now the police department's looking for the cop

well, he covered for the girl without a top
buttered up for the girl without a top
will she still be there tomorrow? will my girl let me come back
to see the girl on the beach without a top?
to get the story on the girl without a top
to get the girl on the beach without a top
to get the girl on the beach who wears a suit without a top
to get the story on the girl upon the beach without a top
to get the girl on the beach who wears a suit without a top
to get the story on the girl upon the...

rootless cosmopolitan in search of a root,couldn't even grab for that low hanging fruit. been on this road a long long time, wearing out my shoes. pilgrims thugs & heretics & all bound to lose. twilight, tribal gatherings & riverside camps, hog calls & chicken fights & smashing of amps.
rootless cosmopolitan - lookin' for a root, $26 was concealed in his boot. flashbacks & tracking shots & dreams of stashed loot - we have you surrounded. come out or we shoot. throw down your weapons come out slow & sweet, we're awaiting god's verdict in the cold & dirty street

back in the city we was living just like bums, didn't pay no attention to those boys w\ their banners & drums.
i went to some meetings but just for kicks, we were getting high, didn't care about politics.
i shoulda left town when the chance occurred, i would've dressed in black & preached the revolutionary word.
all thru that summer we'd heard the reports, i filtered it out w\ the stock market shit & the sports.
the cracks in the image & the years are starting to tell, i'm gonna tell the truth til there's no truth left to tell.
back in the city we was living just like bums, couldn't seem to get healthy, maybe when the summer comes.

song : threnody for kf

from a dog on hollywood blvd to the garbage at the rainbow's end
a teenage cockroach, a hungry ghost, he ain't nobody's friend
a man of 1000 faces, a star that burned like hell
sometimes bad people do good stuff, the reverse is true as well

song : "study of the dream commune" (2013) :

study of the dream commune. 30 years still the same. i blame the parents. i think the parents are to blame. study of the dream commune. seen from the outside. the heat's closing in & there's no place to hide. study of the dream commune. dr#ugs & the occult. same actions repeated, expecting different result. whose dream is it anyway. how long can it last. we are the future. you are the past. get back to the garden. the jets overhead. how can you kill me. i'm already dead.
