Oh look out now
Just between the shoulders
Here it comes -- the spine
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
The spine surfs alone
Good times
Oh look out now
Just between your shoulders
What will cure you?
Bacitracin
Campho-phenique
Calamine lotion
Nothing's gonna help you now
The spine surfs alone
So said the rule book
As it was written, it will be
The spine surfs alone

Now Is Strange
02:20

Have you seen that naughty boy
Who steals each blade of grass
And replaces it with wires and batteries?
In the corner of your eye
Do you see that scribbled word?
Do you hear the wind whispering?
Now
Now is strange
I'd like to hear what did you change?
No, no, it's not before anymore
It's gone
Weird
Now is strange
With a flathead screwdriver
I could remove my apartment buzzer
And I know underneath that five would be a six
Underneath the six would be
Something unbelievable
Something I cannot imagine
Now
Now is strange
I'd like to hear what did you change?
No, it's not before anymore
Now
Now is strange
I'd like to hear what did you change?
No, no, it's not before anymore
It's gone
Weird
Now is strange
I'd like to hear what did you change?

Do you recall someone you haven't thought about in a long time?
That one with the tiny face, is he now on your mind?
I was never much in your life, but now
You can only think of me
When you're concentrating on someone else
You can only think of me
Your attention wanders when you're trying to read
You can only think of me
(Me) You can
(Me) Only
(Me) Think of
(Me) Me you
(Me) Can (me) only (me) think (me) of (me) me
I pronounce these words with unbearable precision
You can only think of me
Your apparent nonchalance belies the fact
That you can only think of me
(Me) You can
(Me) Only
(Me) Think of
(Me) Me you
(Me) Can (Me) only (me) think of (me) me
Everywhere you look
Everything you smell
Every song you hear reminds you of me as well
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba
When you're trying to order at a fancy restaurant
You can only say my name
Everytime you're making an important speech
You can only say my name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
(Name) My name
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba
bup ba bup ba ba

Fun Assassin
02:02

You to me
Like a magnet to a flame
Like a mirror in the dark
And we're off to a bad start again
Dawn begins
This is what the summer became
Only strangers walking down from the beach
Where did we bury the time?
Fun assassin, killing fun for kicks
Stab me in the front, tell me that I'm jinxed
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie
Lost in space
Waiting for a bus from this place
And when I get there, I'll just fold up my map
Drop it and never look back
Fun assassin, hijack the parade
Suck out all the air, polish up the cage
Fun assassin, treat me like I'm stone
Push me to the back and moan
Fun assassin, pulling out my hair
Smash out all the lights, kicking out my chair
Fun assassin, take off your disguise
Look me in the eye and lie

When the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the-
I'll make you a pot of tea
How does everybody like their tea?
I'll make you a pot of tea
How does everybody take their tea?
Tell the Skullivan what you want
Tell the Skullivan what you take in your tea
When the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
I'm just running out to the video store
I'll just be a moment
I'll just be an instant
(When the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night)
(Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night)
I'm back
And I rented 'Tootsie'
You gotta check this out
When the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night
Oh when the Skullivan walks in the moonlit night

Canada Haunts Me
01:03
|
|||
|
Canada haunts me
Don't pull back the sheet
Because I have dreamed of black horses
Riding 'cross the plains
Canada haunts me
Don't turn out the light
Or I'll just hear the echo
Of "fifty-four forty or fight"
Canada haunts me
