Rest Awhile

I got rid of my jackets and coats
I threw out all of my pants
I got sick of my stinking clothes
I had to get rid of them
I'm not yet considering replacing them
I'm only glad to be rid of them and
Rest awhile
Rest awhile
I lay out in the sun too long
And burned off all of my skin
I felt so dizzy I got into the car
And got into an accident
Out of the burning wreckage I fell
Wanting only to lay where I fell and
Rest awhile
Rest awhile
Rest awhile
I became friendly with Ruy López
The author of works on chess
"Ruy," I said, "you're incorrect"
He cut me off and acted mad
He won't even talk to me now but I don't care
'Cause I'm sick of that guy and I need to
Rest awhile
Rest awhile
Rest awhile
Rest awhile

I've been working hard
Trying to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair
And practicing my stare
Paid to fake it
In a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Planning midnight raids
On our unsuspecting fans
While the roadies rig
The video surveillance van
Paid to fake it
In a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la
I've been working hard
Practicing to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair
And working on my stare
Paid to fake it
In a traveling band
And I'm working undercover for the man
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la

I Am A Human Head
02:49

I'm a human head
And my best friend is also a head
I don't really need my best friend
Now my friend is gone
And I'm only a head by myself
I find I don't need my whole head
Now I'm just the top of a head
Just the scalp and a hair
I don't like the scalp, just the hair
What do I really need?
Best friend, also a head
Just the head, just the scalp
Hair
Friend, no
Head, no
Scalp, no
Hair
I am only one human hair
With no scalp for a home
All I need's the top of a head
Now all I am is just a scalp
I don't have any head
I'd be glad if I had a head
Now I have a head look at me
I'm a fine floating head
Where is my friend, the other head?

On The Drag

"I won't die until I'm dead"
Were the first words that he said
Don't try to interrupt him
'Cause he's never gonna stop
And the sun is standing still
With all this time to kill
And I'm trying to walk away
From 1st Avenue to A
On the drag
On the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back
On the drag
On the drag
He's the genuine disaster and he's come to make his case
On the drag
You're only happy when you're sad
You're top-fueled and you're bad
Your parachute in your backpack
And your knees under your chin
And your boyfriend's getting mad
With all this time you waste
Trying to put the finger on it
The allure of St. Mark's Place
On the drag
On the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back
On the drag
On the drag
He's the genuine disaster and we crowned him with his crown
On the drag
On the drag
On the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back
On the drag
On the drag
He's the genuine disaster and he's come to make his case
On the drag
On the drag
On the drag
