Blue Circus 05:06
I was lost in the war You just tossed me into a drawer I arrived on the 74 But I think I'm too late You changed the locks on our happy home It can't be a crime to be all alone But they give me lashings when I get stoned I was just trying to ease the pain I was lost in the war Now I get my rations from the store I got back here and I'm bored and it's time for a change Somebody new We could share our stories up on the roof I sure would like to be in tune and transcend these blues with somebody new

Your canary doesn't care what her name is She just wants to see the sky I've got a feather dipped in ink but there are no words to describe what it's like to fly I want you I need you I love you With all my heart Yes it's true don't you know you're so Beyond the blue I would like to write a book, nice and simple Just some words to make you smile But it wouldn't mean a thing, it just reads good Keep you busy for a while

Manny Mannuz 04:00
Manny Mannuz venga papa porta gugguz e se ne va Manny Mannuz venga papa porta gugguz e se ne va Well it's two in the morning and I step outside gonna call up delicious and I beg for a ride I'm on the porch thinking I need some sleep it's been about a week and I'm out of cigarettes She's on the stairs with her long brown hair telling me to come on up, come on up and tidy up with me It's three in the morning and we're making the bed she cut a heart out of paper and she's painting it red Kelly Danielly peanut butter and jelly took the heart from a bassist and put it in her belly I like your hair I like the way you look at me I like the words that you use I like your dresses and your pearl earrings Oh it's four in the morning and I'm going insane my mind's spinning madly like a weather vane So I pack up my belongings and I climb to the roof just like an outlaw romantic I light a dinner candle for two.

I see you dancing with her twirling her dress round and round and round and round she once was my baby, she was my baby girl until you stomped into town So give her back to me I see you waltz right in you don't even stop to wipe your snake skin boots you just grab my baby and you take her off with you well there's just one thing, that i will say to you Give her back to me Give her back to me I've asked you nice Give her back to me Don't make me say it twice Give her back to me I can't dance at all but I can sure play ball

The watch Labrador is beginning his shift while Mrs. Delicious is calling up a lift Her dear Daddy Watson is holding her gift and the children are all asleep in their bedrooms The town is lit up like a carnival display painted faces point their noses every which way When up comes the curtain and the catch of the day The paddy wagon's rounding up the hoodlums People come from all around to scramble in this race I find I'm losing my mind in this place I'm begging Kelly won't you please take me back to outer space Sympathetic dancers of stellar physique Greet me at the entrances begging me to peek But I'm on my knees for they've become to weak from their sultry and seductive powers And parading around with two guns in his hands a cowboy named Daniel is barking out demands and yanking the microphone away from the band he says "I just want some rain for my flowers!" A murder of crows did gather for a feast a fine deadly hollow for a feather for a beast but when they all did finish they looked on yonder east, all their offspring were turning into chickens And the sad lonely lady who fed the dreadful birds was often singing softly but was seldom ever heard her sisters long ago had learned her all the words and she believed they belonged to Charles Dickens My boss was hauled in on the back of a bike her heart was impaled by a railroad spike but all the city doctors were away out on a strike and they were claiming to be victims of perjury so I was left in charge of my employers life the nurse wouldn't help he was away with her wife and cursing the doctors I picked up a knife and I practiced some open heart surgery The emperor of Persia was lying on a rug he won it off of one of Mona Lisa's hired thugs and looking at the ceiling, he thought he saw a bug so he shot it and called for the general But the general was frantically barking up a tree in full-blown regalia it was quite a sight to see a subversive flying squirrel was up there eating all the seeds and it seems he was deemed to be a criminal

Sunset Dream 01:15
Well, I'm off to California with a ray-gun on my hip for the highway's full of bandits and I aught to be equipped. And I'm riding on these colors Red, yellow and green. Me and pony dog lulu, on our sunset dream Don't the stars look good, pony? Don't the stars look so good? Oh the gypsy told my fortune and I carved it into wood.

Elder Flower 02:23
When you're walking on the street would you ever think of me, dear Kelly? When you see the sun go down do you remember this old town, dear Kelly? Summer nights we'd pass the time caught us drinking tombstone wine Oh rapture and Shangri-la I found your pendulum heartbeat oh the light of the moontower shines over you flower lady oh I'm so glad I told you, I'm so glad I told you I love you cause there's no one on this planet I'd rather be with I love you Oh, elder flower
