    Astral Moat Monster

    What can I say to try to make it right?
    didn't think I was so wrong 
    I guess I lost my sight.
    So maybe I'm just a loser,
    coming pretty clear 
    can I walk from here?
    All I do and all I say comes back at me,
    this isn't the way I wanted to be.
    Nothing I do without being criticized,
    so confused looking through these eyes.
    Chorus:
    So maybe I'm a loser,
    baby you can't see (woo hoo hoo)
    Maybe I'm a loser
    good way to label me (woo hoo hoo)
    Always thought I did my best,
    tried to put 
    these inner thoughts at rest.
             Saving the best.
    I'll become a mime and move to Mexico,
    is there a better place 
    where I can go?
             I need to know.
    I want to see all these things 
    keep coming back at me 
    Chorus

    habitat trees

    I'm on a lift holding a gift,
    you're in my heart and in my soul. 
    Never let me go.
    Words you've been saying,
    games enjoyed playing, 
    all so new to me.
    All I Say and All I Do,
    I do it all for you.
    One little message you have for me,
    please don't let me fall down.
    Then help me up 
    from what you say
    I'm blown away.
    All I say.....
    I've had my faults by myself 
    I've got me down,
    so down felt ten feet underground.
    Words you've been saying,
    games enjoyed playing, 
    all so new to me inside.
    All I say.....
    I'm on a drift giving a lift,
    you're in my heart, 
    you're in my soul. 
    Never let me go.
    These are the times 
    we know are good....
    These are the times 
    we know are good!
    All I say.....

    Your Song (200 Words)

    If I was a child 
    you could hold me near.
    Tell me all the useless things 
    that I want to hear.
    When I screw up 
    you'll put me in my place.
    Where my mind will wander 
    to outer space.
    Chorus:
    If you could show me the other way,
    would you come back another day?
    I hold the balance in my heart,
    that way I can do my part.
    200 words to explain 5000 dreams
    and you can tell me what they all really mean.
    Something deeper that I just can't get,
    it's not written and the letters are not set.
    Chorus:
    And do we care how we really are?
    some take the meaning the message a little far.
    Hanging thoughtlessly over the edge,
    just two hearts alone on the ledge.

    Someday/I'm The Fool

    Someday, yeah we might just be together.
    But not knowing now, 
    not knowing how.
    Something,it must have been the weather.
    That brought us close, 
    wanted this the most.
    You and I have always been 
    something you can carry in your hat.
    all this time going through my head 
    makes me wonder where you're at.
    I'm the fool that you've been looking for,
    I'm the boy that you'll ignore.
    But all I want is you.
    Hey where ya going to?
    Someday
    	I'm the fool 
          that you've been looking for
    yeah we might just be together
    but not knowing now, 
    not knowing how       
         I'm the boy 
          that you'll ignore
    Something               
        I'm the fool                    
       I'm the fool
    it must have been the weather
       that brought us close 
        wanted this the most
    And now I'm feeling better
    spending time with you
    And do you get a feeling
    when spending time with the fool
    someday...etc

    I was born 10,000 miles from the moon
    look at you girl, you were born there too
    So how's it look for a guy like me 
    and a girl like you?
    You're worth the boring nights alone
    Chorus:
    You thank me for all your sympathies,
    and I can't hide 
    from the way you're treating me
    So here we are now, 
    we take it slow
    we're on another trip down the road
    we've traveled here before 
    but somehow it doesn't seem so old
    You're worth the boring nights alone
    Chorus:
    You've got a blanket 
    and it's wrapping around me
    I need to take you places 
    you have never seen
    So how's it look for a girl like you 
    and a guy like me?

    For Chloe

    Hey Chloe,
    somehow I knew you'd come around.
    Cause nobody loves me,
    sense of reality still to be found.
    Sometimes I wish it all was easier,
    there's still a lot of me in you.
    Sometime I wish it all was easier,
    there's still a lot of me in you.
    Don't worry about,
    all the time you spend on everything.
    It'll all work out,
    and you can laugh and you can sing.
    Sometimes I wish it all was easier,
    there's still a lot of me in you.
    Sometimes I wish it all was easier,
    you can do all the things that you wanted to.
    Imagine yourself all happy and content,
    living your life on your consent.
    All that we've wanted Chloe, 
    it's all still there.
    Although we look we do not care.

    Star Studded Crush

    There's something wrong
    you know there's something wrong
    And I can't say a thing,
    just going to move right along.
    You stayed there smiling,
    all wishes locked up tight.
    And if the words could come from my mouth,
    I would save you tonight.
    Can't stand here waiting 
    while time passes by.
       Nothing but a star studded crush
    Has to be a way,
    that you won't push me away.
    But if it's in your heart,
    you'll stay.
    I could run and hide,
    take a turn inside.
    Has to be a way,
    to get you into my life.
    Can't stand here waiting 
    while time passes by
       Nothing but a star studded crush

    Your Quiet Playbill

    Told me you loved me,
    or was that just another lie?
    Seems you never cared,
    and I wonder why.
    So many good times,
    just shot down like the rest.
    I try not to think of it, 
    singling out the best.
     It's always better 
     when we're not together 
     get it through your head!
    Your quiet playbill,
    showing off yourself.
    Just makes me sick,
    make me stay with myself.
    You never helped me you never cared
    always caught up in my hair.
    I shut your door, walk down the stairs,
    get out of here.
     It's always better
     when we're not together
     get it through your head!
    Told me you loved me,
    or was that just another lie?
    Seems you never cared,
    and I wonder why.

    Rockticket

    I want to rock it tonight,
    create a mood that feels oh so right.
    Maybe some people will start to complain,
    that's too bad it's a crying shame.
     My baby likes to rock it,
     she's got her own plans.
     My baby likes to rock it,
     we'll rock places never seen to man.
    I want to rock it right now,
    "heal the world" and "teach
    your children" how.
    Stop and think about the reason why, 
    so overwhelmed it pokes you in the eye.
     Chorus.....
    ____my baby has a rockticket and yeah
    she carries that ticket all over town
    ____shows the ticket to everyone she
    sees yeah 
    ____no one really cares for her ticket.........!
    I want to rock it all the time,
    something moves me and makes me feel
    fine.
    If some people stop and complain,
    that's to bad it's a crying shame.
    ----don't pick up my little rockticket
    ----it's ok that you've never heard
    of it.

    Superglue

    I'm as cool as a rocket,
    in the things I do  
    and I don't mean to cling like superglue.
    Going over some hills now, 
    happens now and then 
    and I am going to stay until the end.
     Chorus:
     Cause I know it comes and goes sometimes, 
     and it lays too long in out minds.
    I don't need to worry, 
    I have faith in you 
    and I don't mean to cling like superglue.
    Running low on steam now,

    If I Could Sing (I Would Sing This Song)

    Always messing up,
    this pressure's keeping up,
    hard to tell the meaning of this.
    Moving right along,
    writing lyrics to this song, 
    and when I'm done I guess I'll go home.
    chorus
    If I could sing I would sing this song,
    if you could sing you would sing along.
    If I could sing I would sing this song,
    if you could sing you'd get the words all wrong.
    Sun is going down,
    painting circles on the ground,
    this does not relate to the song.
    Favorite pen in hand,
    I'm getting tired and,
    I don't know when I will be done.

    I'm So Wrong

    I'm So Wrong I'm tired of singing this song I'm tired and I'm so wrong. Never seems to be an end, I'm sick and tired of just being everyones friend. Real love so far away today, everytime I get close somebody pushes away. The heaviest weight is on my back I keep falling down and my will is about to crack. Always come to be that you're so right for me. Too bad you're loving someone other than me. I'm tired of being second best it's getting old and my heart needs rest. Feel like I've been tossed around again and again and I'm looking straight at the ground. Need to find a safer place one where I can see my face. But I keep coming back to you. I keep coming back to you! (solo) This time, I can feel myself cross the line changing words into sign but I keep coming back again. -----------------------------------. I know I need to get away, find a place where I can stay. I just need to be happy, that all I've ever wanted to be. [END] Words and Music: J. Gore

Got this .44 and I"m rollin' down the street, my Chevrolet is picking up speed. I shot a man in Texas gave him bullets for money. Now I gotta go 'cause the fuzz is after me. People want to disappear I want to ride. Nothing's shocking and baby nothing lasts, I've got Stealers Wheel playing on the 8-track.

    The Crack Song She understandable, she makes the clearest sense. I get nervous putting up my best defense. Wanting to know her cause she's of the rarest kind. Look for a way, a way to get in and make her mine. And I try And I die And I need you more than I need myself, you're like smoking crack. Trying hard to listen, put a face to all the names. Throw all my words in hoping not to sound so lame. What does it matter I don't have a chance. In this life today it's just so hard to find a little bit of romance. And I try And I die And I need you more than I need myself, you're like smoking crack. I stumble gently, I fall down on my knees. Looking up to see the sunlight coming through the trees What does it matter I have had my doubts? In this life today it's just so hard to find what it's all about. And I try And I die And I need you more than I need myself, you're like smoking crack. END Music: J. Snider/DPW Lyrics: J. Gore

    Have you seen her?

    She's gone away,
    left me today.
    The skies were gray,
    what can I say?
    How does it feel to be dead?
    It hurts so badly we said.

    Have you seen her?

    She's not at home,
    she's not alone.
    The man by her side,
    well he has my pride.
    How does it feel to be dead?
    It's not romantic we said.

    So Lord, I don't feel anymore.
    Sensed a change and broke my key in her front door.
    Nothing left here, I'm numb to the core.
    Lord, I don't feel anymore.

Teenage drinkers stay up late,
they can hardly keep awake.
Teenage drinkers know the scene,
teenage drinkers keep it clean.

cheerleader doesn't want to think.

easier done than said.

I don't wanna go (he doesn't want to go)
unless we take it slow (take it slow)
It's getting out of reach (out of reach)
if you know what I mean.

Teenage drinkers make a pact,
teenage drinkers drink from fact.
Teenage drinkers keep it cool,
teenage drinkers know the rules.
I don't want to see you like this.
I don't want to see you unless I get a little kiss!

Chorus:
(see above)

I know this way will be better.
I know this way could be better for you.
I know this way will be better.

Power Ballad
--------------
You know,
what I want you to know.
Not hard to let your feelings show.
Never be alone.
I'm hurt,
I'm decked out in my black shirt.
The one that made you wanna flirt.
Never be alone.

We're just two star tossed people,
from life to life.
Who's gonna make it right,
every loving night?

Love you,
and I know you love me too.
It's what we were meant to do.
From life to life.

Revelation
============

A revelation is an overhead equation,
it's just something that helps me with relation.
And I'll try to be there on the Fourth of July,
and I'll try to be there when you cry.

Your persuation gave back my imagination,
I dream of hallways filled with conversation.
And I'll try to be there on the Fourth of July,
and i'll try to be there when you cry.

So Long
============

Bet yer cheatin' and lyin' ain't done you no wrong,
bet yer cheatin' and lyin' ain't done you no wrong.
Hold me, hold me, hold me when you're home,
and leave me all alone when you're gone.
I've been waiting for you so long,
even though you've done me so wrong.

Don't go an tell it'll be okay,
every time I get close you run away.
Baby, baby, baby it's alright,
come on over girl and spend the night.
I've been waiting for you so long,
even though you've done me so wrong.

Baby it's alright,
I'm going to hold you all night.
I've been waiting for you so long,
even though you've done me so wrong.

Godspeed John Glenn
===================
Shortly before the launch,
he had his colors on.
Sending chills right up the spines,
of the lookers looking on.
There's been no change in space since 1962.
And for the sake of the human race,
we hope there's been no change in you.

Godspeed John Glenn.
Godspeed John Glenn.

I bought the silver coin,
to commemorate the mission.
Zeroed the satellite dish,
to catch your transmission.
When you come back from space,
I'd like an autograph.
To show the other girls,
who shake me down and laugh.

Godspeed John Glenn.
Godspeed John Glenn.

We're just two dollar whores.
Hero, Senator means so much more.
That's the way John Glenn likes it.
And we're just two dollar whores.

Godspeed John Glenn.
Godspeed John Glenn.

Little Tiny Girl
============
Little tiny girl, I think you're swell. Little tiny world, pictures on the shelf. Maybe an airplane ride to Rome, would bring you out of your shell. Little tiny girl....... I'm just the bloke who wants you. For just the chance to court you. I don't know what I'd do. Indeed you do. Little tiny girl, come over here. Another cigarette, or maybe another beer. Maybe an airplane ride to Berlin, would give the fix you need. I'll give you what you need. Chorus: [END] Words and Music: D. Beasley/J. Gore (1997 DPW Music, Sweet Sunshine Music)

Wish I Could Tell You
================

I don't really really wanna know if you're to blame, for all this pain. An absurd claim! Let's play a water game. Or let's play Twister, with your sister. She's the kinda girl who looks like she eats her men, covered in cinnamon. She's singing "Let Em In!" If this is ludicrious then let me know I have a poncho for if it snows It should keep you from the storm While your sister keeps me warm! Chorus: I wish I could tell you, what you're sister doesn't know. Pink carnation on your Valentine's Day dress, girl you look like a mess. Why'd you get upset? Say isn't that the dress?? Worn by your sister..... when I kissed her. [END] Words and Music: D. Beasley/J. Gore (1999 DPW Music/Sweet Sunshine Music)

Positively 11PM
============
Positively 11PM. I'm asleep on the mainstage again. I feel I'm getting old though I have not been sold. To the underground. Certainly 7AM. And the girl from the park just came in. She said that I'm a shooting star. She read it on my car, on TV. Chorus: Don't you wish for me darling, don't you wish for me true. I'm a nightmare still searching for truth. 4:30 the brilliant mistake. One like Elvis Costello would make. Although he is not "The King" He wears the same rings, of pop royalty.

Laugh
============
Laugh ===== God loves a tryer so I'll sing in the choir We'll wave our arms not causing any harm anymore. Passion like a critic, Sarcasm like a cynic. We crash like waves misbehave, we're concave doobie doo sha la la If I ever pulled the trigger, I'd never get bigger. And you'd spend your tears on my lost fears. You don't cry anymore. You always said if I need help you'd be there. I'm so scared that I need it I hide everywhere. I just want trusting, but all I'm doing is rusting? [END] Words and Music: J.

In The Red And Black
================
In the red and black,
she keeps coming back.
Fighting her heart break,
mending her past mistakes.
I hope she finds me,
I hope she hears me
singing this song too loudly.
Jump in the deep end,
with good reason.
Hoping to help her sit and listen.

Chorus:
Maybe you've been looking far and wide
for these regulations cast aside
you can't meet them
you've already beat them.
I can take you to a place in mind
your new intentions shining through this time
we can share them
we'll take good care of them.......... in the red and black

Combining our heart attacks
into just one sore
so we don't have to feel that anymore.
My March breakdown,
known all over town.
I just turned and put my head down.
I learned my lesson,
paid more attention to tell you
time allows no depression.

Syd & Co.
=========
It's a breaking line
a new pair of twos.
Starry eyes,
fallen for new clues.
It's a perfect week,
in a cabaret.
It's solid state for solid ways.

Chorus:
Syd and company,
they're analyzing everything
from a window, with a view of her town.
Syd and company,
they're analyzing you and me and the marching band.

It's a tight squeeze,
from a sword to a pen.
Who's the bigger cheese,
women or men?
I yell your name out loud,
in a darkened pub.
Now the sailors dead,
to the sailors club.

The Ballad Of DPW
==============
Friday night, another broke-down drag
for a rock and roll band.
200 miles from home,
we couldn't make it to the show.
Who's going to save us?
Who's going to save us?!?!

Tonight! We're alright!
Tonight! We're alright!
Who's going to save us tonight?!?!

Cold as balls, making telephone calls
but nobody home.
In the van, with porn and beercans
feelin' all alone!
Who's going to save us?
Who's going to save us?

Tonight! We're alright!
Tonight! We're alright!
Who's going to save us tonight?!?!

When we got through, instead we got two
rescue on the way.
We got back to make it to the shows
the very next day.
Who's going to save us?
Who's going to save us?

Who's going to save us tonight?!?!?!?!?!?!

232 North Road
============
Better take a walk,
it feels like something's broken.
Is it my heart?
When I look down I see smokin'.
And it burns right close to my eyes,
depression in disguise
trying to look like normal russian skies.

Where I go,
232 North Road.
It's where I get high,
it's where we all get high.
With all the places I've seen,
I don't ever want to come clean.
Baby you've seen better things in me!

Let's Clobber 'Em!!
=============
Hang on Thing, cause we're gonna go get 'em.
Hop in the Fantastic Car.
I'm tired of hanging out with Invisible Woman,
I want to shake some Firestar.
Rogue, and Storm, and Mary Jane Watson,
those are just to name a few.
We gotta go now cause they need rescue,
from the clutches of Dr. Doom.

Taken all the Marvel Girls captive,
let's clobber 'em.
Spider-Man is radioactive!
Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em!

Professor X, don't ya say maybe,
we know what we got to do.
We've got our Human Torch,
we've got our Reed Richards,
we've got our Scott Summers too.
Dr. Doom's got them locked up in his castle,
Phoenix, Rogue, and Jubillee.
And where would we be without the Webslinger?
We've got Hulk and Thor and Beast!

Taken all the Marvel Girls captive,
let's clobber 'em.
All Avengers memberships are active!!
Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em!

Thing's got himself in the rock tumbler now,
thinking Galactus might get him somehow.
Tony Stark, got shot in the head again,
getting that other guy to be that Iron Man!!!

And you know Aunt May was really hot back in the day!
I bet Uncle Ben really liked getting laid!
C'mon Silver Surfer, Alicia's lost in time,
I bet that Black Cat could show you a better time.

Taken all the Marvel Girls captive,
let's clobber 'em.
Spider-Man is radioactive!
Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em! Let's clobber 'em!

Wooly Mammoth Clone
============

She's real sweet,
she's a brilliant tease.
And with her picture on my wall,
she's a pin up dream.
Ooooh, it's guaranteed,
she's in her terrible teens.
Whenever I try to reach her,
she calls the authorities,
and they're following me.

With their wooly mammoth clone!
He's big, and he's so far from home.
He won't leave me alone...no.
He's my wooly, wooly, wooly, wooly
mammoth clone.

When the mammoth caught me,
I told him all about Christina.
He was rather impressed,
and he wished me the best.
With a tear in his eye,
and his tusks held high.
He said "I'll see you again"
I know I'll see him again, I know I'll see him again.

Cause he's my wooly mammoth clone!
He's so big and he's so far from home.
He won't leave me alone, no, no.
Cause he's my wooly, wooly, wooly, wooly
mammoth clone.

She Is A Superspy

She is a superspy
screams in the light night frantic
my fast summer suit
stripping the light fantastic
pass the sweets my sweet
it would be so romantic
if we put a record on we can learn to
get along

But I can't take her anywhere.

Ninety-Six Me


I want to see what comets see,
when you ninety-six me.
Hanging cool with all your thugs,
free sex = free drugs.

Are you just damned?
Or are you just doomed?
I've just been kickin' in an empty room.
Are you just damned?
Or are you just doomed?
I used to kick it in an empty room.

Use persuasive poisoning,
just to ninety-six me.
Like a needle under my skin,
you're in my cocaine, in my gin.

Are you just damned?
Or are you just doomed?
I've just been kickin' in an empty room.
Are you just damned?
Or are you just doomed?
I used to kick it in an empty room.
