I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know What it feels like to be normal So I’ll take my sideways eyes n’ go And I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know What it feels like to be gorgeous These days your beauty's bought and sold Well I could stay and obey But I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I how it feels to behave No I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know Chances are I’m gonna crash and burn it But fuck it oh well Who will know if nobody ever goes? I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know What it feels like to be misunderstood So I cut the censor from my mouth And I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know What it feels like to be in regret So I will see all that time allows Well I could stay and obey But I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I how it feels to behave No I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know Chances are I’m gonna crash and burn it But fuck it oh well Who will know if nobody ever goes? Yeah who will know if nobody ever goes? Well I could stay and obey But I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I how it feels to behave No I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know Chances are I’m gonna crash and burn it But fuck it oh well Who will know if nobody ever goes? Yeah who will know if nobody ever goes?

Some days my impulses get the best of me Grabbing on to it all until I got no money Well I’m window shopping ain’t stoppin for nothin All the pretty ladies got a fresh coat of paint and they poppin Among these hollow body honeys I'm a brand new beast I’ve been starving for months but now it’s time that I feast I’m sayin Oh my oh my oh I just wanna take you home I Oh my you bout as sweet as honeycomb I My my tap the phone and you’ll be all mine Yeah well put it on credit and we can get it Girl git it God knows we can git it Anytime you want yeah you can git it Some days I'm stumbling all over my passion Staring at all the pretty faces while they passin To the right to the left mysterious silhouettes Yeah they make my head swivel and pirouette And now I'm falling in love every five feet that I step Stoic and kind yeah but deep down inside I'm sayin Oh my oh my oh I just wanna take you home I Oh my you bout as sweet as honeycomb I My my five minutes and you’ll be all mine Honey anytime you want yeah you can get it Girl git it God knows we can git it Anytime you want yeah you can git it Ah you make me say oh my oh my Oh I just wanna take you home I Oh my you bout as sweet as honeycomb I My my one day you will be all mine Work that layaway and we can get it Girl git it God knows we can git it Anytime you want yeah you can git it

Well I’ve been feeling down You come along to bring me up I’ve been void of affection You come by all full of love I've been twisting and writhing You come and help me to relax I've been cheating and lying You come along and kick my ass Yeah oh darlin I've been running up and down The streets of this lonely town Looking for somebody to turn me around, and I was in a free fall for the bottom babe until I see you Oh cos baby you just look so cool I’ve been feeling crazy You come along and make me sane I was burning from both ends baby You came along and brought the rain I’ve been quivering and shaking You come along to hold me down I’ve been bending and breaking You show me I’m just working my weakness out Yeah oh darlin I've been running up and down The streets of this lonely town Looking for somebody to turn me around, and I was in a free fall for the bottom babe until I see you Oh cos baby you just look so cool Oh yeah baby you just look so cool Babe you’re lookin so cool Babe you’re lookin so cool Babe you’re lookin so cool Yeah but the million miles before stumbling over you Are gone and forgotten to the rear of my view And the shit that I’ve waded through over all of this time Is suddenly so for gone from my mind Well I was feeling grey You came along to color me Yeah and I was sleeping through my days But you've beautifully awoken me Yeah oh darlin I've been running up and down The streets of this lonely town Looking for somebody to turn me around, and I was in a free fall for the bottom babe until I see you Oh cos baby you just look so cool

Ladybug 03:42
Pacing as I’m waiting for my ladybug to come around the corner Dress polka-dotted on her Time is crawling while I vibrate Fawning her nirvana I never wanted to live within her absence Candy canes and absinth Help me to forget my hunger But oh good god I can hear my lady coming now And oh good lawd she gon’ turn this aching body out Oh good golly miss molly when you come around Ain't nothing in the world that could keep my two hands bound Breathless getting restless and my chest is pounding like a bass drum As she leave her bread crumbs Gotta make it back ‘fore sunrise The roar of her aura through the floor I feel it tickle with pleasure Like rare Roman leather Upon my skin it makes me tremble But oh good god I can hear my lady coming now And oh good lawd she gon’ turn this aching body out Oh good golly miss molly when you come around Ain't nothing in the world that could keep my two hands bound Awakened elevated I gravitate towards hair of red haze And ‘em freckled shoulder blades Only sun and skin abounding Oh good god I can hear my lady coming now And oh good lawd I done turned that little body out Oh good golly miss molly when you come down Have yourself a drag and we can throw in for another round

Beatnik Boys 03:01
Faded black t-shirts Calloused fingers hard down to the bone Headlights pointed out to California And no plans to ever make it home Cigarette in ready lips Scars of rebellion lingering in tow Tattoos marking what we understand And nobody else’ll ever know Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul All we own is what we carryin’ sayin I forged a mind from the boredom and now I can’t be bothered to not be boogiein’ Starry eyed driver boy Lead footed methodica never knew a doubt Head in the heavens level with the gods And no ropes to pull him down Promiscuously vagabond Counter culture Kerouac in us all Even though we ain't making any money I'm standing 50’ tall Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul All we own is what we carryin’ sayin I forged a mind from the boredom and now I can’t be bothered to not be boogiein’ Well we’re surviving with a clever wit and daily we’re hanging by a thread Pickin pockets like monkey stealin bread Tank out of gas n’only enough cash for Arizona But that’s alright I could make a fine life there in Sedona Cos we were beatnik boys with nothing but a head full of soul All we own is what we carryin’ sayin I forged a mind from the boredom and now I can’t be bothered to not be boogiein’

Man these shindigs in these prim digs are always a drag All the cool kids and the cruel kids dress in drag You and I so much alike both so out of place All the boys are wearing their cufflinks for fucks sake If there’s anything I know know it’s how how to get your weeds out of a tumble If there’s anything I know know it’s how cut the cake and get to the good stuff So why don’t you come over here baby Won’t you take center stage Take all the time you need To act up half your age No reason to be shy Turn up and act a fool Ain’t nobody know better How you’re supposed to do you Ok so you showed up to this party but you don’t want anybody to know With skin like Minnie Driver and a set of confident bones Well you’ll never put that puzzle together unless you spread it around Nothing magical ever happened while we were lookin down Yeah but if there’s anything I know know it’s how how to not give a damn man I don’t give a damn If there’s anything I know know it’s how how to make good use of my pearly whites So why don’t you come over here baby Won’t you take center stage Take all the time you need To act up half your age No reason to be shy Turn up and act a fool Ain’t nobody know better How you’re supposed to do you So I says to her I says, baby Midnight is approaching and I don’t have anybody here to dance with me So why don’t you trade that dress in for a sweater cos it looks like it’s withholding your motion I’ll be waiting right here out in the open Then I said to her, Soma All we’ll do is get a bit older So come down and sit on my sofa we can keep it light So why don’t you come over here baby Won’t you take center stage Take all the time you need To act up half your age No reason to be shy Turn up and act a fool Ain’t nobody know better How you’re supposed to do you

Paid Up 02:30
Everything a mystery All the words you said to me My head was in the clouds A blessing I can see you now And I didn’t care where we were Vision all ablur Always out to get some more From the hands I so adore But I’m paid up Thousand debts but I made amends And I’m paid up So don’t think twice just tell me yeah I like when you sit next to me Cos life has no guarantees When is it enough to know Oh I’m lying at the foot of your throne So come and tell me how you feel And I’ll show you how to be real No one put your shackles on Oh it's money that's the life-long con But I’m paid up Thousand debts but I made amends And I’m paid up So don’t think twice just tell me yeah Well here I am, out of a jam and I’ve been been feeling alright Got a new lease on a new life But I’m paid up Thousand debts but I made amends And I’m paid up So don’t think twice just tell me yeah Said baby I’m paid up Thousand debts but I made amends And I’m paid up So don’t think twice just tell me yeah

Sitting here in the evening basking in the TV glow And the whip cream on top of my coffee is how nobody knows Well I sat outside Til the moon hung high Now it's way past midnight but I got time Just give me the evening to can clear my mind I’m so tangled up I'll knot if I don't unwind Yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes And I know that you freshen like peppermint Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos All at once I got time Precious seconds to be whoever I incline Oh it's about time that I got mine Got a little rum a little lemonade Just enough to last til the end of the day Drink it slow curtains closed Maybe I could string a few days in a row Yeah baby that sounds so divine I’m so tangled up I'll knot if I don't unwind Yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes And I know that you freshen like peppermint Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos All at once I got time Precious seconds to be whoever I incline Oh it's about time that I got mine See the thing about me Is I can make friends with different sides of myself He's impressed by me I'm impressed by him We theorize and drink wine in the kitchen And we talk to each other until I fall asleep Well today I’m the company I keep Oh but I like him cos he's just like me Ah yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes And I know that you freshen like peppermint Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos All at once I got time Precious seconds to be whoever I incline Oh it's about time that I got mine

Famous 03:35
Oh no Babe I went bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya Quick to overdose N’then I went and bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya Million dollar dame lays on the pavement Says all the grey makes her look ageless Well I'm just a twenty dollar man hundred dollar handsome Bought me a bike and made it a tandem We’ll ride with no hands and We’ll make em look Oh no Babe I went bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya Quick to overdose N’then I went and bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya but babe I can’t afford ya Always in her shades she acts like she made it says all the poise makes her look famous I’m like 20 minutes late punching above my weight and stumbling over words to her in a panic But she says it’s romantic and it makes her cook Oh no Babe I went bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya Quick to overdose N’then I went and bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya (Well It makes her look famous) Oh no babe I went bought the whole wide world for ya Cos I adore ya cos I adore ya I I overdosed And then I went and bought the whole wide world for ya But I can’t afford ya

The blues got a hold of me lately And I can feel a warm wind trying to take me The last of the memories driving me crazy And try as I might I just can’t escape it I can’t escape it I’m sorry for my hands when they start their shaking I’m just a stubborn boy out trying to make it It’s alright if you gotta hate me I’ll see you in your sunday morning paper baby I tell you what baby you come around To the lights on the dark side of town I tell you what baby you come on by And I won’t have to change your mind Yeah but If I stand here waiting on a marigold I’d be fading til I’m too old So I’ll keep pacing for my time To come I tell you what baby you come around To the lights on the dark side of town I tell you what baby you come on by And I won’t have to change your mind I tell you what baby you come around To the lights on the dark side of town I tell you what baby you come on by And I won’t have to change your mind
