SMALL TOWN KID

small town kid
he's a small town kid prone to disaster
an unlikely rebel filled with desire
spends every dime in the jukebox, babe
he's got a knack for making you scream
armed with power chords and a pawn shop electric
ripped up jeans, high-heeled boots
he won't give it up while they keep on draggin' him down
he's gotta get out of here
you've gotta take this down to another town
they're gonna kill you here, follow the yellow line
he moved to a city to render delusion
working for the man while he can
hone the tricks of the trade, you gotta get paid
sometimes you gotta see the light
you've gotta take this down to another town
they're gonna kill you here, you've gotta let it shine
and if i let them have it
i'd be dead
you've gotta take this down to another town
they're gonna kill you here, follow the yellow line
i've got my band behind me and a party up front
this town's pretty cool and the people are wild
i don't want to give this up but i gotta get out of here
i've gotta take this down to another town
and if i let them have it i'd be dead inside

i know you want out
my eyes don't see you coming, just like everybody's
i can't see you dreaming for anybody
i'm going places you won't go
i know you want out
i'm breathing air you won't breathe

i'm just a little weirdo, just like everybody
i have no patience for losers, just like anybody

i know you want out
you found a place for envious anger
i know you want out
you can't climb the ladder if you're scared of heights
you can't be helped if you're sinister
my eyes don't see you coming, just like everybody's
i can't see you dreaming for anybody
you can't climb the ladder if you're scared of heights
you can't be helped if you're sinister

where's the love
there's people dying just trying to be heard, it's just the word on the street
there's people poking just to ease the pain, it's just the word on the street
there's people picking and singing for change, it's just the word on the street
whereas i'm afraid i can't help this at all, it's just the word on the street
jurisdiction is led by liars, it's just the word on the street
the policemen are aiding the scare, it's just the word on the street
destruction ahead and detour here, it's just the word on the street
the rich get richer, the poor get dumped, it's just the word on the street
where's the love
have you been looking?

best thing in town
put them arms around what's arguably the best thing in town
the best thing in town, going round and round
not just a staple that holds them pages together
as you're reading my memoirs line after line
i champion all the things i've done, the trophy shelf is full
my love will have mercy when i'm next to you
it's all so clear to me in a rational thought
what's said is said and what's done is done
not here to fake you out, i'm not gonna stash the truth
keep my head under the sand like a stupid fool
i am my own destiny, i'm the chosen one
if some folks don't like it, i'm still staying true
i champion all the things i've done, the trophy shelf is full
my love will have mercy when i'm next to you
i am my own destiny, i'm the chosen one
and if some folks don't like it, i'm still staying true
put them arms around what's arguably the best thing in town
the best thing in town, going round and round

i had to leave in the morning, i had to leave
i can see your face
all over the place
i left my keys on the table, i left my keys
i can see your face
all over the place
i'm a tiny little boy from a tiny little town with my tiny little dreams
he's such a dreamer
you're a tiny little girl with a big city heart with your own little dreams
i'm such a dreamer
put your tiny little hand in my tiny little hand, we'll make tiny little plans
and be dreamers
you were my first drink, i was your last call
come right back
i can't, i'm working for the man
come right back
relax, i think it's killing me
come right back
shit, i think i spilled my drink
but that's okay 'cause i'm in love with you
you were my first drink, i was your last call
come right back

come right back
relax, i think it's killing me

killing the pleasure
you bring around the pain, it's not that bad
it's not that bad at all, and you
won't feel the same, it's not your loss
it's not your loss at all
it makes me feel so dumb
and they'll say i've tried so hard
it brings in the fear, it makes me cheap
it makes me cheap, penniless, and i
won't feel the same, it's pretty bad
it's pretty bad, my friends
it makes me feel so dumb
they'll say i've tried so hard
it seems to me you can't control your ego
the little voice that tells you you're a hero
it's not that bad, so why'd you bring your gun?
to kill the pleasure
it seems to me you can't control your ego
the little voice that tells you you're a hero
it's not that bad, so why'd you bring your gun?
to kill the pleasure
the pleasure

queen st w
the queen street girls want all the attention
but all they really do is put on their makeup
the queen street boys, they all look crazy
and all they wanna do is get fucked up
the mayor at the hall wants to be humorous
all he ever does is feed us with bullshit
there's someone else who wants to be recognized
and all i really do is put on my makeup
it's too late
it's too late
it's too late for me
i'm sitting all day in my downtown apartment in toronto
and all i can do is think of you
you're at work and i really want to go
down to the park before i have sex with you
it's getting late
we can't hardly wait
i really want to go
it's getting late
we can't hardly wait
i really want to go

carl le fou
t’es qui toi? t’as les culottes toutes déchirées
t’es qui toi? t’as oublié comment être aimé?
t’es qui toi? t’as la tête toute échevelée
t’es qui toi? t’as oublié comment être aimé?
il faudra un verres de vin, pour déguisé ton chagrin
car le fou fait rire les fins, tôt le matin.
t’es qui toi? une vision de coeur abimé
t’es qui toi? un mortel égaré
t’es qui toi? un chef de peuple abimé
t’es qui toi? un chien qui a perdu sa place
il faudra un verre de vin, pour déguisé ton chagrin
car le fou, fait rire les fins, tôt le matin
