He turned around, rolled up his sleeve I rolled my eyes then suddenly A horrible pain grew, the next thing that I knew The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth...OUT! Well along with my teeth my money also left me As he made out the bill, I was moaning OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous Where the hell is my prescription...of codeine? But when will I speak, how long until my mouth feels natural? How long will they bleed, when will they heal, where's the real meal ? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? I feel good...I feel great...there's no pain...there's no ache I feel good...I feel great...just let me recuperate Because the codeine has left me drowsy, leave me be...just let me sleep! Get On The Ball Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink Get on the ball if you love your lover No gesture to small Tear down the walls if you love her Just give it your all Ooo yeah, you've got to tell her that she's the only one Show her, make sure she'll never feel abandoned Get on the ball if you love your lover No gesture too small Tear down the walls if you love her Just give it your all Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink Don't wait too long or she'll be gone fast as a blink Ooo yeah, you've got to tell her that she's the only one Show her, make sure she'll never feel abandoned There won't be time to even think So use your mind and instinct She'll drive you crazy So don't be so damn lazy Move On Some chickens crossed the road, straying far from the hen Five reached the side one step below Zen One was a female, four were mad-men Who moved on, moved on move on Standing in line and falling asleep Building a fence while we're counting the sheep We'd let you help out but our projects are too deep Move on, move on, move on You have to understand that when it comes to making music We meshed the styles of five alive and intertwined and fused it Life comes from life and through our strife we strove to make the sound true Compelled to spell it out, in search of what we must do Our house was to small so we had to move The neighbors had much doubts so we had to prove That our soulful dimensions were true to the groove We, moved on, moved on, moved on Water the music, plant the seeds in the pot Music is life flowing through... is it not? Don't forget your roots, but also don't rot Just move on, move on, move on Don't be afraid, let your feelings show Wear your heart on your sleeve, and let yourself glow Sad For Me Please Miss Fried He don't mean to be mean He just needs to leave He hopes he does not Cause you inconvenience Why can't you see? He says, "please don't be sad for me" Oh Miss Fried Please believe you're his queen He must fight for his dreams Lovely Miss Fried He will too miss you He just needs to be free He says, "If I should ever cause you to bleed... don't pretend to be naive" Don't take him wrong, let him be Sometimes he feels like he ought to be alone He says, "Please don't be sad for me" Doormat I'm not your doormat, your floormat So don't wipe your feet on me I'm not the only Garibaldi There's more fish in the sea I'm not your puppy, nor goldfish So don't treat me like your pet I'm not your butterfly, so don't try To chase me with your net I'm not your kneaded eraser So don't you wear me down I'm not your sledge, sledge hammer I'm no tool, that you pound I'm not your blacktop, for hopscotch So don't jump all over me I'm not the place where the dogs roam At the bottom of the tree Don't you treat me like I have no feelings Don't you treat me like that, I have feelings Don't treat me like that Don't you treat me like that Don't treat me like that Don't you treat me like that! I'm not your carefree, nor sugarless Like the gum on your shoe, I'm not the ring 'round your finger Nor am I wrapped around you I'm not your shoe string, your rope thing So don't tie me in a knot I'm not your asphalt, with oil spots So don't use me as a parking lot Big City Train Can you hear that whistle? Loud clackety-clack It's calling me The station is where it's at It's coming again now Chuggin' down that track Just check your records Got all my bags packed You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through Come get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true This time I'll board that train It won't be long Check the label on my baggage Destination in my song Talk to the conductor Saved up my fare Yakety-yak for a while CHOO CHOO! Chorus Repeat Hurry grab my luggage Hurry grab my bags It seems the locomotive Has been taken another track A penny brought on by mischief A penny, a form of cash Has been placed upon the railway We are destined to be a smash! Trapped In A Box Trapped in a box of tremendous size It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies Sucks up our lives and proliferates lies Trapped in a box Trapped in a box, four walls as sky Got a screen for a window about two feet wide My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried No room for thought, use the box as my guide Trapped in a box Trapped in a box Watch the world as it flocks To life's paradox We're all trapped in a box Trapped in a box I'm not alone I know of others with a box as their home Light only enters from a crack or a hole This is not enough for a human to grow Trapped in a box Chorus Always wanting a different view Instant gratification for you Reality gone in a single click Just hope that that switch won't stick Trapped in a box my life becomes void All I thought for myself is now destroyed Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy Sublinal rules: how to live, how to die Trapped in a box Chorus Sometimes Sometimes sunshine Does not want to shine on me And sometimes I find myself blind At first I cannot see and then I see it's me I chose a road when I was young In search of fun temptations won And all my soul I did surrender If I had a chance to back now Would I redeem my moral vows Or would I repeat for my own laughter Sometimes I hide somewhat Like a bulb behind a shade And sometimes I ask myself why Is it cause the lights are too bright Or because my eyes are closed too tight Sometimes I find myself blind Don't use my brain don't use my mind Distorted feelings always leading my way But I must forgive myself and let the past lay down to rest And be prepared to face myself in another day From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved Sinking You're on a wide open ocean No one around you for miles Your thinkin' of drinkin' on water While you're sailing the Nile No one to stop you on your way Flyin' by goes a stork You decide to bring your oars in now But accidently knock out the cork Row your boat to shore 'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking Unless you cork the hole You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking Not knowin' your sinkin' You take out a bottle of rum Swiggin' a drink to the bottom The bottle reads 'Van Monchinghum' Oars back into the water You think you'll sail on But you can't 'cause your boat contains Three and a half gallons Chorus Row, row, row your boat Sail your ship to shore You're barely, barely, barely keeping afloat I hope that you won't drink no more A Little Something Refreshing Yeah I'm hungry I'm starving I want some food for my tummy I want some Pizza coke and ice cream Popcorn cotton candy Marshmallows milkshake and peanuts Would be so great Pies chips candy apples Twinkies frosted flakes Donuts french fries And some chocolate cake with mustard Cookies avocados pancakes Pineapple juice Whipped cream on some raw meat That's not all i could eat I'm hungry I'm starving I want some food for my tum... I want some Honey roasted walnuts Pepperoni slices Pasta and burritos Different kinds of rices Cherries dipped in chocolate Cottage cheese and jelly Colonel sander's chicken Still won't fill my belly Broccoli sticky syrup Churros dipped in sauce Drippy sloppy joes Then i'm full at last Ahhh ahhh I'm full at last Burp. Paulina Paulina - she's on the cover of a magazine Paulina - a woman in my nightly dreams Paulina - who makes me grin in any pose Paulina - I wish she'd take off all her clothes Paulina - well I stare at her pictures all day long Paulina - and as I do I sing this song Paulina - my father says to act my age Paulina - as I single handedly turn the page Paulina - well I paste her pictures on the wall Paulina - sit by the phone and hope she'll call Paulina - although I know she never will Paulina - to indulge myself is such a thrill Paulina - she's the big red apple of my eye Paulina - I wish she'd lay down by my side Paulina - but if she ever knew my pursuit Paulina - she would probably file a huge lawsuit Yeah yeah oh oh oh oh Brand New Day At the end of the day you are worn, and too tired to sleep But then you do dream of wonderful things That you might do, right on through to the next day And then you wake up The sun's on your face You're stretchin' while you're sayin' It's a Brand New Day! It's a brand new day and the sky is clear So let's come together, everybody cheer Come out people from everywhere Let's see your faces, the day we'll share Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday! Call out to the workers and the children in the schools It's a day of celebration so put down your tools and Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday! Come see the mountains and come see the shores Mother nature is calling so come climb aboard to Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday! At the end of the day there is no doubt you are worn out But then you do dream of wonderful things That you might do the next day And then you wake up The sun's on your face You're stretchin' while you're saying' It's a Brand New day!
