Sunshine Highway

Yeah, me and my girl we're acting up again all right
She ain't much of a looker, she can handle her paraldehyde
You were up all night at the Captain's Table drinking Tango and gin by the old piano
Playing cards and smoking cigars 'til the sun came up
Or was it going down for the night?

Take another ride on the sunshine highway
Take another ride try to turn it around
Take another ride on the sunshine highway
Take another ride try to turn it around tonight
Drop me off, sign me in, clean me up and let me out
Man that nurse is a bitch, this sucks, she says my jug ain't allowed
I've had my share of Mt. Pleasant messiahs wearing slippers and robes, trying to bum smokes
I'm gonna Thorazine shuffle straight out the door
Head to the farm and find me a cure
Tonight, yeah yeah yeah
I'm gonna make it right

Cause I'm gonna be the one
To take another ride, take another ride

She Blinded Me With Science

Ha! It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mm, but she blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And failed me in biology, yeah
Huh-huh
When I'm dancing close to her
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)
Mm, now but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And failed me in geometry
When she's dancing next to me
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)
I can hear machinery
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)
Hah! It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And hit me with technology
I don't believe it, there she goes again
She's tidied up and I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires and careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Uh, she blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
She blinded me with

No New Tale to Tell

You cannot go against nature
Because when you do
Go against nature
It's part of nature too

Our little lives get complicated
It's a simple thing
Simple as a flower
And that's a complicated thing

No new tale to tell
No new tale to tell
No new tale to tell

AHHHH

My world is your world
People like to hear their names
I'm no exception
Please call my name
Call my name
No new tale to tell
No new tale to tell
No new tale to tell

AHHHH

When you're down
It's a long way up
When you're up
It's a long way down

It's all the same thing
No new tale to tell

No new tale to tell

My Ship of Dreams

Time to end this long hiatus
My wounded heart is on the mend
I'll search for gold in Acapulco
The treasure chest at rainbow's end
Wind, sand and stars will heal the scars
I’m melting down these prison bars
A lonely lightship lost at sea
That’s what my heart will be
My ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
Citadels and far pavilions
Midnight sun, savannah stars
Through sapphire seas and sulphur mountains
To the paradise bazaar
Wind, sand and stars will heal the scars
I’m melting down these prison bars
A lonely lightship lost at sea
That’s what my heart will be
My ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
My ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
(Sailing away)
In my ship of dreams
My ship of dreams
(Sailing away)

Blood and Roses

It was long ago, it seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Wild flowers in the springtime
October we were wed
In winter time the roses died
Her blood ran cold and then she said
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
It was long ago, it seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I need your love, but it comes out wrong
I tried to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Blood and roses (roses)

Tempted

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
"Let's get out of this place"

Passed the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
(The people keep on grindin')
Ain't wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
(It's no story I could tell)

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Unfriendly World

An old movie magazine
Go and wrap it in between
Pages yellowing with time,
It’s tearing up my mind.

Plastic snowflake souvenir,
A city far from here,
But it hasn’t moved in years,
I’m breaking up inside.

Hang on to your girl,
Cause this is an unfriendly world.

Birthday cards from years ago
These will kill you slow.
Is it worth this pain to grow?
I guess I’ll never know.
Christmas toys and picture frames,
All the photos knocked away,
Not to live with day by day,
Just a walk down memory lane.

So hang on to your girl,
Cause this is an unfriendly world.

Business man with nasty tricks
Followers of 666,
Fame and fortune made me sick
And I can’t get out.

Out the window there’s a view
Grassy hills and flowers too
Lovers of the chosen view
So maybe me and you

An old movie magazine
Go an wrap it in between
Pages yellowing like me
Will I ever be free?

Hang on to your girl,
Cause this is an unfriendly world.
Hang on to your girl,
Cause this is an unfriendly world
