Show Biz Kids|Close

after closing time

at the country fair

i detect the el supremo

in the room at the top of the stairs

 

well i've been around the world

and i've been in the washington zoo

and in all my travels

as the facts unravel

i've found this to be true

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

 

they got the house on the corner

with the rug inside

they got the booze they need

all that money can buy

 

they got the shapely bods

they got the steely dan t shirt

and for the coup de gras

they're outrageous

so honey let me tell you how

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

 

show biz kids making movies of themselves

they don't give a fuck about anybody else

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

 

while the poor people sleepin'

with the shade on the light

while the poor people sleepin'

all the stars come out at night

For No One|Close

your day breaks your mind aches

you find that all the words of kindness linger on

when she no longer needs you

 

she wakes up she makes up

she takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

she no longer needs you

 

and in her eyes you see nothing

no sign of love behind the tears

cried for no one

a love that should have lasted years

 

you want her you need her

and yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead

you think she needs you

 

and in her eyes you see nothing

no sign of love behind the tears

cried for no one

a love that should have lasted years

 

you stay home she goes out

she says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

she doesn't need him

 

your day breaks your mind aches

there will be time when all the things she said will fill your head

you won't forget her

 

and in her eyes you see nothing

no sign of love behind the tears

cried for no one

a love that should have lasted years

 

 

Smile|Close

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

And light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

 

 

Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys|Close

if you see something that looks like a star

shooting up out of the ground

and your head is spinning from a loud guitar

and you can't escape from the sound

don't worry too much it'll happen to you

we were children once playing with toys

and the thing that you're hearing is only the sound

of the low spark of high heeled boys

high heeled boys high heeled boys

 

if you had just a minute to breathe

and they granted you one final wish

would you ask for something like another chance

or something similar as this

don't worry too much

it'll happen to you

as sure as your sorrows are joys

and the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of

the low spark of high heeled boys

 

the percentage you're paying is too high priced

while you're living beyond all your means

and the man in the suit has just bought a new car

from the profit he's made on your dreams

but today you just read that the man was shot dead

by a gun that didn't make any noise

and it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was

the low spark of high heeled boys

high heeled boys high heeled boys

high heeled boys high heeled boys

 

if i gave you everything that i owned

and asked for nothing in return

would you do the same for me as i do for you

or take me for a ride

strip me of everything including my pride

but spirit is something no one destroys

and the sound that i'm hearing is only the sound

the low spark of high heeled boys

high heeled boys high heeled boys

high heeled boys high heeled boys

 

 

On The Street Where You Live|Close

i have often walked

down this street before

but the pavement always stayed

beneath my feet before

all at once am i

several stories high

knowing i'm

on the street

where you live

 

are there lilac trees

in the heart of town

can you hear a lark

in any other part of town

does enchantment pour

out of every door

no it's just on the street

where you live

 

and oh the tow'ring feeling

just to know

somehow you are near

the overpow'ring feeling

that any second

you may suddenly appear

 

you know

people stop and stare

they don't bother me

for there's nowhere else on earth

that i would rather be

let the time go by

i don't care if i

can be here

on the street

where you live

 

and oh the tow'ring feeling

just to know

somehow you are near

the overpow'ring feeling

that any second

you may suddenly appear

 

you know

people stop and stare

they don't bother me

for there's nowhere else on earth

that i would rather be

let the time go by

i don't care if i

can be here

on the street

where you live

can be here

on the street

where you live

 

 

I Can't Get Started|Close

i've been around the world in a plane

i've settled revolutions in spain

the north pole i have charted

but man i can't get started with you

and at the golf course i'm under par

metro goldwyn wants me to star

i've got a house and a show place

but can't get no place with you

 

you're so supreme

the lyrics i write of you

dream dream day and night of you

scheme just for the sight of you

baby but what good dose it do

i've been consulted by franklin d

even gabel had me to tea

but now i'm broken hearted

can't get started with you

 

you're so supreme

the lyrics i write of you

dream dream day and night of you

scheme just for the sight of you

but what good does it do

i've been consulted by franklin d

even basic had me to tea

but now i'm broken hearted

can't get started with you

 

 

Up A Lazy River|Close

up a lazy river by the old mill run

lazy river in the noon day sun

linger awhile in the shade of a tree

throw away your troubles

dream with me

up a lazy river where the robin's song

wakes the mornin'

we'll roll along

may be blue skies 'bove

everyone's in love

up a lazy river

how happy we'll be

up a lazy river with me

up a lazy river by the old mill run

that lazy lazy river in the noon day sun

you can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree

throw away your troubles baby

dream a dream of me

up a lazy river where the robin's song

wakes a brand new mornin'

where we can roll along

there may be blue skies up above

but as long as we're in love

yeah we'll be up a lazy river

how happy we could be

up a lazy river with me

oh that half way mark yeah

up a lazy river where that robin's song

awakes a brand new mornin'

we can roll along

there are blue skies up above

and as long as we're in love

we'll be up a lazy river

up a crazy lazy river

up a lazy river

i ain't goin' your way get out of my way

up a lazy river with me

 

 

Someone To Watch Over Me|Close

there's a somebody i'm longing to see

i hope that he turns out to be

someone who'll watch over me

 

oh i'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods

and i know i could always be good

to one who'll watch over me

 

oh you may not be a guy

some girls think of as handsome and lovely

but to my heart you carry the key

 

won't you tell him please

to put on some speed

follow my

cause all i need

someone to watch over me

 

 

Cycles|Close

so i'm down and so i'm out

so are many others

so i feel like tryin'

to hide my head

'neath these covers

life is like the seasons

after winter comes the spring

so i'll and stay awhile

and see what tomorrow brings

 

i've been told and i believe

that life is meant for livin'

even when my chips are low

there's still some left for givin'

i've been many places

maybe not as far as you

so i think i'll stay awhile

and see if some dreams come true

 

there isn't much that i have learned

through all my foolish years

except that life just run in cycles

first there's laughter then those tears

 

but i'll keep my head up high

although i'm kind of tired

oh i just up and left last week

friday i got fired

you know it's almost funny

things can't get worse than now

but i'll keep on tryin' to sing

but please just don't ask me how

 

 

One Hand, One Heart|Close

make of our hands

one hand

make of our hearts

one heart

make of our vows

one last vow

only death will part

us now

 

make of our lives

one life

day after day

one life

now it begins

now we start

one hand one heart

even death won't part

us now
