Everybody 03:13
Everybody’s losin’ their minds in the USA Except for maybe me and you We were jammin’ Oranssi Pazuzu Hangin’ out in the summertime at the bay And I don’t mean to fantasize But baby you’ve got dreamy eyes You’ve got a laugh that knocks me out when I’m feelin’ blue I keep hopin’ you might take me to the zoo And you hold my hand like lovers do Stare into my eyes until the moonlight shines them back at you That’s the same with everybody, everybody, everybody hey Everybody, everybody, everybody hey Everybody, everybody, everybody hey Everybody, everybody, everybody ‘cause everybody’s losin’ their minds out on the Scarlet Coast Smokin’ guns and silhouettes Playin’ drums up and down your neck Givin’ you a little kiss ‘cause I’m feelin’ loose And I don’t mean to fantasize But baby you’ve got dreamy eyes You got a smile a mile wide across the sky of blue You know you do I keep hopin’ you might take me to the zoo And hold my hand like lovers do Stare into my eyes until the moonlight shines them back at You, you, you, everybody, everybody Or am I just a boy who is wishing, wishing, wishing for a certain kind of love that’s gone missing?

Oh Steve 03:05
Oh Steve, won’t you kiss me in your car? Parked in front of Whistle Workwear These guys could really use a little show Teach ‘em that a kiss feels the same across the board Let’s go inside and shop around You’ll look at everything and I’ll follow like a dog And I know When you go home It will be to your husband But I hope It won’t be too long Before you come back up around to see me Oh Steve He holds my hand while he’s drivin’ us around Our fingers are intertwined He kisses me at every stoplight Says he wishes we had a place to go But I know When you go home It will be to your husband But I hope It won’t be too long Before you come back up around to see me Oh Steve

When the apple dies I wanna be just like Sandy With sweet dappled eyes And cuts, cuts like candy I don’t wanna do all the things that I used to do Just wanna be wild, wild, wild for you Only you You Only you ‘cause I’m sitting, I’m sitting here And I’m drinking, drinking this beer I don’t wanna do all the things that I used to do Just wanna be wild, wild, wild for you Only you Something is better than nothing Stars reach out and on and on I didn’t know then what I know right now and I was wrong I know now Just wanna be wild, wild, wild I wanna be wild, wild, wild I wanna be wild, wild, wild for you Only you You Only you ‘cause when the apple dies I wanna be just like Sandy

Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame When you’re bleedin’ in the streets And no one dared to come and save you And the office is as bleak and barren as the desert sky And the ancient undead are there to meet and warmly greet you And the spirit, the spirit is floating down like a feather now Just whisper my name And I’ll blow this place to pieces Bit by bit, brick by brick and frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame When the violet and the lilac and the rose Are bloomin’ up in a summer’s haze And your friends are there to meet you And mistreat you and delete you from their games Well you’re comin’ out of this a better person or the same Just whisper my name And I’ll change all of the features Bit by bit, brick by brick and frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame When Hollywood Was reflecting In the gleam of my eye In the gleam of my eye In the gleam of my eye Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame Step by step, frame by frame

Gene 02:58
I’ve been hangin’ out too long Been shakin’ til the sunshine’s gone Sittin’ on top of the pines all summer long I wore my favorite summer dress But my eyes could not hide the rest When I lost you I lost the meaning to it all I know you, you know me We know there’s a path we’ll see And it takes me there It takes me there It takes me there When the darkest days they change into the dawn Change, change Change, change Apache wolf, hide the rest These masks we wear won’t save our breath And we’ll be sittin’ on top of the pines all summer long I know you, you know me We know there’s a path we’ll see And it takes me there It takes me there It takes me there When the darkest days they change into the dawn Hey! They change into the dawn Summer goes by in the blink of an eye Never forget you, baby They change into the dawn Summer goes by in the blink of an eye Never forget you, baby They change into, they change into, they change into the dawn Hey! They change into the dawn Summer goes by in the blink of an eye Never forget you, baby They change into the dawn Summer goes by in the blink of an eye Never forget you, baby They change into, they change into, they change into the dawn But I still don’t know all the answers, babe I barely know the lyrics to this song I still don’t know all the answers, babe I barely know the lyrics to this song But I’ve been hangin’ out too long Been shakin’ til the sunshine’s gone Sittin’ on top of the pines all summer long

Girl Time 02:22
I was hoping you could give me a bath I’m very, very dirty I need my girl time with you Half a stick of chocolate chip cookie dough and two spoons, two spoons Talkin’ ‘bout the guys we have fucked Since the last time the hens got together to cluck, cluck-cluck Girl time Always makes me smile It’s been a while, you know it’s been a while I need my girl time with you Watchin’ American Beauty on your remote control vibrating bed, you hussy Tell me what has got you so worked up I bet I get it outta you by the time the end credits roll By the time they roll Girl time Always makes me smile It’s been a while, you know it’s been a while

All the Way 02:39
I like the way you think I like the way you smell I like the way you feel When you’re feelin’ on me I like the way you move I like the way you walk I like the way you talk Like the way that you’re kissin’ on me Let’s go all the way Let’s go all the way I think you do it for me I wish that when I talked The words in my mouth Didn’t stumble out in pieces Behind this lonely smile There’s a million miles Of heartaches laughin’ I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me Let’s go all the way Let’s go all the way yeah, yeah I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me Let’s go all the way Let’s go all the way yeah I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me I think you do it for me

It’s the perfect time To ferret out the lowdown The sun is shining bright All over this town Let’s go for a walk And listen to the birds and the bees Hummin’ around in the trees I found a turtle by the lake Scooped him up and kissed his face But he bit my lip instead of kissin’ me back And I was like, “Oopsie doodles!” He’s a bichon frise but he looks like a poodle Oopsie doodles, oopsie doodles Crossin’ the stream I fell down into the water With my foot in my mouth Ya know there’s really nothin’ hotter And I let loose quite a long string Of words that weren’t so nice As I reached for the Band-Aids and the ice And I was like, “Oopsie doodles!” He’s a bichon frise but he looks like a poodle Oopsie doodles, oopsie doodles It’s the perfect time To ferret out the lowdown

Sittin’ on a Saturday mornin’ Smilin’ as I’m thinkin’ of you I ain’t got nothin’ else to do But call you up and tell you I love you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I do, I do, I do I felt your knees under the table last night Rubbin’ gently against mine I love the little glance we exchanged Your face overtaken by your adorable smile Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do Baby do you feel it when I dream of you I’m shinin’ like a star in the sky Baby do you feel it when I smile It’s sunny ‘cause the sun shines bright You’re my favorite cure for the blues Round and round and then back again Take me in your arms and kiss me a while I walked you back to your car after the show Dark night, on a dark night Hand in hand in the chilly air And it was so right, so right Then you took me into your arms Yeah and you love me like you do And you tickled me with your beard hair Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do Baby do you feel it when I dream of you I’m shinin’ like a star in the sky Baby do you feel it when I smile It’s sunny ‘cause the sun shines bright You’re my favorite cure for the blues Round and round and then back again Take me in your arms and kiss me a while

When You... 03:25
When you hold me I want to walk away When you kiss me I want to waste the day without you And I can’t paint a picture now My heart is full of this falling out When I miss you I refuse to give in When I see you My patience grows thin The tables turned and left me with no choice God I miss your skin and your voice What do you think this is? How do you think I should react? Sure I miss the bliss But I just can’t go back Do you know why? When will you see how this feels for me? When will you leave me alone? When will this story end? Do I have to tell you again? What do you think this is? How do you think I should react? Sure I miss the bliss But I just can’t go back Do you know why? When you hold me I want to walk away
