I'm Eighteen
lines form on my face and hands
lines form from the ups and downs
i'm in the middle without any plans
i'm a boy and I'm a man
i'm eighteen n i don't know what i want
eighteen i just don't know what i want
eighteen i gotta get away
i gotta get out of this place
i'll go runnin in outer space - oh, yeah
i got a baby's brain n an old man's heart
took eighteen years to get this far
don't always know what i'm talkin about
feels like i'm livin in the middle of doubt
cuz i'm eighteen - i get confused every day
eighteen - i just don't know what to say
eighteen - i gotta get away
whoa
lines form on my face and my hands
lines form on the left and right
i'm in the middle, the middle of life
i'm a boy and i'm a man
i'm eighteen and i like it...

Black Juju
body...
touched by the toil and plunged into his arm
cursed thru the night thru eyes of alarm
a melody black flowed out of my breath
searching for death but bodies need rest
body...
under the soil now waiting for worms
all that i feared is all that i've learned
all that i know is all that i think
dead feelings are cool down lower i sink - ah, hah
bodies need rest - we all need our rest
sleep an easy sleep - rest rest
but come back in the morning, come back hard - wake up !
bodies clutching and biting - my soul has caught on fire
my evil is now and i'm caught up in desire
everything i'm living for is all that i am
liking it and loving it that's all in the plan

Ballad of Dwight Fry
mommy, where's daddy ?
he's been gone for so long
do you think he'll ever come home ?
i was gone for fourteen days - i coulda been gone for more
held up in the intensive care ward lyin on the floor
i was gone for all those days but i was not all alone
i made friends with a lot of people in the danger zone
see my lonely life unfold - i see it every day
see my only mind explode - since i've gone away
i think i lost some weight there - and i... i'm sure i need some rest
sleepin don't come very easy in a straight white vest
should like to see that little children - she's only four years old... old
i'd give her back all of her playthings - even... even the ones i stole
see my lonely life unfold - i see it everyday
see my lonely mind explode - when i've gone insane
i wanna get outta here...
i gotta get out of here...
ya gotta let me out of here...
see my lonely life unfold - i see it everyday
see my only mind explode - blow up in my face
i grabbed my hat and i got my coat - and i... i ran into the street
i saw a man that was choking there - i guess he couldn't breathe
said to myself this is very strange - i'm glad it wasn't me
but now I hear those sirens callin and so i am not free
i didn't wanna be...
see my lonely life unfold - i didn't wanna be
leave me alone
i didn't wanna be
don't touch me
see my lonely mind explode - when i've gone insane

Be My Lover
she struts into the room - well, i don't know her
but with a magnifying glance, i just sorta looked her over, hmm
we had a drink or two - well, maybe three
and then suddenly she starts telling me her life story
she says - baby, if you wanna be my lover, you better take me home
cuz it's a long long way to paradise and i'm still on my own
told her that i came from detroit city
and i played guitar in a long haired rock and roll band
she asked me why the singer's name was alice
i said listen baby you really wouldn't understand

Schools Out
well we got no choice - all the girls and boys
makin all that noise - cuz they found new toys
well we can't salute - ya can't find a flag
if that don't suit ya - that's a drag
school's out for summer
school's out forever
school's been blown to pieces
no more pencils, no more books
no more teacher's dirty looks, yeah
well, we got no class - n we got no principals
and we got no innocence - we can't even think of a word that rhymes
school's out for summer
school's out forever
my school's been blown to pieces
no more pencils, no more books
no more teacher's dirty looks
out for summer, out till fall
we might not come back at all
school's out forever
school's out for summer
school's out with fever
school's out completely
Elected
i'm your top prime cut of meat, i'm your choice - i wanna be elected
i'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold rolls royce - i wanna be elected
kids want a savior, don't need a fake - i wanna be elected
we're gonna rock to the rules that i make - i wanna be elected...
i never lied to you, i've always been cool - i wanna be elected

Billion Dollar Babies
billion dollar baby - rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
grimy as an alley, loves me like no other lover
billion dollar baby - rubber little monster, baby, i adore you
man or woman living couldn't love me like you, baby
we go dancing nighty in the attic while the moon is rising in the sky
if i'm too rough, tell me - i'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands
i got you in the dimestore
no other little girl could ever hold you
any tighter, any tighter than me, baby
billion dollar baby - reckless like a gambler, million dollar maybe
foaming like a dog that's been infected by the rabies
we go dancing nighty in the attic while the moon is rising in the sky
if i'm too rough, tell me - i'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands
million dollar baby
billion dollar baby
trillion dollar baby
zillion dollar baby
Teenage Lament '74
what a drag it is, these gold lame jeans
is this the coolest way to get through your teens
well, i cut my hair with a rib teht it was in
i looked like a rooster that was drowned and raised again
what are you gonna do ?
i tell you what i'm gonna do
why don't you get away
well, i'm gonna cry all day
i ran into my room and i fell down on my knees
well, i thought that fifteen was gonna be a breeze
i picked up my guitar to blast away the clouds
but somebody in the next room yelled "you gotta turn that damn thing down"
and i know trouble is brewin out there but i can hardly care
they fight all night about his private secretary, lipstick stain, blond hair
No More Mr. Nice Guy
i used to be such a sweet, sweet thing - til they got a hold of me
i opened doors for little old ladies - i helped the blind to see
i got no friends cuz they read the papers - they can't be seen with me
n i'm gettin real shot down n i'm feeling mean
no more mister nice guy
no more mister clean
no more mister nice guy
they say he's sick, he's obscene
my dog bit me on leg today - my cat clawled my eye
my mom's been thrown out of her social circle n dad has to hide
i went to church incognito - when everybody rose
the reserved smith, he recognized me n punched me in the nose
Welcome to My Nightmare
welcome to my nightmare - i think you're gonna like it
i think you're gonna feel like you belong
a nocturnal vacation, unnecessary sedation
you want to feel at home cuz you belong
welcome to my nightmare - whoa
welcome to my breakdown - i hope i didn't scare you
that's just the way we are when we come down
we sweat, laugh n scream here - cuz life is just a dream here
you know inside you feel right at home here
welcome to my breakdown - whoa

Go to Hell
for criminal acts and violence on the stage
for being a brat, refusing to act your age
for all of the decent citizens you've enraged
you can go to hell
for gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
for making us doubt our parents authority
for choosing to be a living obscenity
you can go to hell
you're something that never should have happened
you even make your grandma sick
you'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
you'd gift wrap a leper and mail him to your aunt jane
you'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
you can go to hell
Clones
i'm a clone - i know it and i'm fine
i'm one and more are on the way
i'm two, doctor - three's on the line
he'll take incubation another day
i'm all alone, so are we all
we're all clones - all are one and one are all...
we destroyed the government - we're destroying time
no more problems on the way
i'm through, doctor - we don't need your kind
the other ones, ugly ones, stupid boys, wrong ones
six is having problems adjusting to his clone status
have to put him on a shelf
please don't put me on a shelf
all day long we hear him crying so loud
i just wanna be myself...
