[Verse 1] Take the trouble to pronounce the street names right People like it when you show respect Look out the window at the softening asphalt The dreamy shimmer of the haze effect [Chorus] Wear my lizard suit to the party It's so hard to get noticed in this town [Verse 2] Almost invisible aboard the train So many people who you just can't...Learn More

[Verse 1] For several days the visitors were here We saw them turned down and we watched them disappear Talked about the days they’d said were sure to come Had a hard time believing I remember seeing you, my tongue struck dumb When you first came here from wherever it was you came from The power in your voice, your rough touch You keeping care of...Learn More

[Verse 1] On the shores of a lake named after a late queen of England I heard new rumors of war The sun was a red ball up in the summer sky I saw my sister standing in the doorway She had that look on her face that reminded me of you The reports were coming hourly and the sky was blue They were shifting the power again They always do this when I...Learn More

[Intro] "Heel Turn 2"! [Verse 1] Get stomped like a snake Lie down in the dirt Cling to my convictions Even when I get hurt Be an upstanding, well-loved man about town In your child’s mind, that’s how it goes down But I tried the losing side [Refrain] I don't want to die in here I don't want to die in here [Verse 2] Drift down into the new, dark...Learn More

[Verse 1] Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path Every moment points towards the aftermath Yeah ah ah [Verse 2] Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town Hopeless urchins from the city gather around Spies from imperial China...Learn More

Rain washing your memory away Fires burning somewhere around here Clouds forming, clouds gathering One minute in a long, long year You've got one good reason For doing what you're going to do I've got one thing holding me back From doing the same thing to you In the San Gabriels, the fire ate away Rabbit-brush and the jimson weed When the rain...Learn More

[Verse 1] Let the bright colors come blushing gently back to the Cherry blossom trees, around Pontiac And guys in powder blue starter jackets Down on the street Let them come up from the corners So light on their feet [Verse 2] Let the ticker tape come cascading down Above the greyhound station Out at the edge of town And at the schoolyard...Learn More

Selling new flowers outrageously cheap Freshly cut daisies, twenty five cents each You loved me when you could keep your losses down But winter's coming around now, now, now, now The girl at the flower shop is kind and young She made accurate change for me, I let the change come And you loved me when it was cheap to do so Can you feel the cold...Learn More

[Verse 1] Signal drawn upon the bricks of a clinic for the dispossessed Collect the brine from the rain gutters, let the devil take the rest Rats returning home to our nest [Chorus] Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren In the neverending shadows Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren In the neverending shadows, there I...Learn More

Stick bright reflective tape to the collar of your shirt Mind your business and you won't get hurt Be true to the things you said you'd be true to Always keep your objective in view Keep two working contacts among your effects See the tall poppies with their tender fragile necks Solomon in all his glory not arrayed like these Bending in the wind...Learn More
