i had visions, i was in them
i was looking into the mirror
to see a little bit clearer
rottenness and evil in me

fingertips have memories
mine can't forget the curves of your body
and when i feel a bit naughty
i run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)

i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell

been around the world and found
that only stupid people are breeding
the cretins cloning and feeding
and i don't even own a tv

put me in the hospital for nerves
and then they had to commit me
you told them all i was crazy
they cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, god damn you

i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well

i wanna publish zines
and rage against machines
i wanna pierce my tongue
it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
the trivial sublime
i'd like to turn off time
and kill my mind
you kill my mind

paranoia paranoia
everybody's coming to get me
just say you never met me
i'm going underground with the moles
hear the voices in my head
i swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
but if you're bored then you're boring
the agony and the irony, they're killing me

i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well

"Woo Hoo"

request the honor of your presence
the tear gas has blown away
put down your crumpets and your coffee now
so unfashionably late

(chrous 1)
little brother, little sister
underwater we go
out of our ordinary selves
stepping out
to where the people sing

( chorus 2)
woohoooooooooo
-and the people sing
-and the times are good

you say i'm acting like a beggar
i call it killing the fool
you carry more baggage
than a momma's boy
on your first day of school

(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)

let go the light of the t.v.
drop the hands
the chains that bind me
turn it all around
stop, lift you up `n die to self
in a time when the left and the right's the same
when it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze
send out the invitations

(chorus 2) 2x
you say i'm acting like a beggar
i call it killin the fool
to save your life you gotta lose it
so the people sing

"Hands"

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all o.k.
And not to worry
cause worry is wasteful
And unless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I wont be idled with dispair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but I knew it wasnt ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
cause where there's a man who has no voice
there our's shall go singing

My hands are small, i know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

My hands are small, i know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
We are never broken

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
God's hands
God's hands

"Footloose"

I been working so hard
Keep punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got

I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town

Tonight I gotta cut

(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're yearning, burning for some

Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try

You can fly if you'd only cut

(Chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oowhee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo
C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

FIRST - we got to turn you around
SECOND - You put your feet on the ground
THIRD - Now take a hold of your soul
FOUR - Whooooooooa, I'm turning it

Loose, FOOTLOOSE

(Chorus)

"Candy in the Sun"

Going on a fieldtrip just like school
Gonna go somewhere that's really cool
Destination: Vacation traveling around
the nation

Hey-The time is now to start the show
Hey-Rev it up and let it go

Cos I know a place where the sun is always shining
And I won't forget the face
The one that's gonna keep me smiling
You're like candy in the sun
You're my angel on the run
You're like candy in the sun
Hey Hey Hey

Speedin' down the highway
With the top down
We're gonna get out of this one way town
Kick it into motion
Got a notion
We're gonna drive all the way to the ocean, yeah
Hey-Rev it up and let it go
Hey-Crankin' up the radio

(Chorus)

It's time to take a chance
You know it's true
Come on let's break away
Just me and you

Cos I know a place where the sun is always shining
And I won't forget the face the one
That's gonna keep me smiling
You're like candy in the sun
You're like candy in the sun
You're like candy in the sun

Cos I know a place where the sun is always shining
(I know a place)
And I won't forget the face the one
(And I won't forget the face)
That's gonna keep me smiling
You're like candy in the sun
You're like candy in the sun
You're like candy in the sun
Everyday
Hey, Hey, Hey

"Nobody Like Me"

I was on the outside
Trying to find my way back in
You were the answer
I was searching for, my friend
Life is crazy when you're
Always on you're own
It's amazing when you
Realize that you're not alone
I should have known
A long time ago that
You were the one for me
I let my ego bring me down
And that's what blinded me
Life is crazy when you
Don't know what you've done
And I'm a fool to think that
There could be
Someone else
When I know
There's no other one

Chorus:
I said baby
What are you doing
Who are you fooling
Nobody but me
I said baby
Give me some time
To change you're mind
Come back to me

I was nothing before you
But I became so strong
When everything was going right
I had to make it wrong
Life is crazy
When you let things slip away
And now I'm sorry
Ever since that day
You went away
I didn't mean to hurt you so
I never wanted you to go
Now there's nothing I can do
But spend my time
Late at night
Thinking only, about you

Chorus

Ever since you went away
I haven't been the same
Now there's nothing I can do
I was on the outside
Tryin' to find my way
Back in
And now I'm right back
There again
Life is crazy when you
Find you're all alone
But now maybe
You can change your mind
And come back home to me
Come back to me
Oh baby won't you
Please come back

"Who Needs Sleep"

Now I lay me down not to sleep.
I just get tangled in the sheets.
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned.
Turn the lights off while she burns.
So while she's 300 degrees,
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.

Chorus:
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep??
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the 2nd world war.

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the 2nd world war.

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun.

(Chorus)

So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd never found.
With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed
but the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid.

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Halla halla halla

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the 2nd world war

Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since the 2nd world war
