Beauty walks through the jungle
Content in her domain
Tse Tse bites and leaves behind
A sickness of sleep and pain

Chorus:
This won't hurt a bit
No needle plunging deep
Thank God for the medicine man
Sleep my beauty beauty sleep

Back in Palatine U.S.A.
Dr. Bob takes the case
Now there's money to be made
And we'll save the human race

(Chorus)

People treat it like it's not real/Why do they continue to steal
'Cause they do not feel that people need to heal
Until it's an American deal
and it can buy their next meal

Beauty wakes from her slumber
Walking again in paradise
Drug company won't go under
And doesn't Margaret look nice

(Are you there?) Are you there?
(Can you hear my voice?) Can you hear my voice?

Billy, is that you?
Turn your face and let me see what they've done to you.
Billy, Billy, where have you gone to?
They've been searching for you face for many days now.

We all know these days are harsh, and love can be too.
She sits at home, she cries your name, she awaits for you.
Billy, so go home now, It's getting kind of cold.
Your children they go hungry for the love of you.

Chorus:
For forty days and forty nights
And no sin has been devoured,
And all these promises made to you
Are not welcome in this hour.
Are you there now, do you hear my voice?
Are you there now, do you hear my voice?

Sleep away yesterday, the desert cold of night.
The snakes they turn, they twist and shake
Until your soul is blind.
Now there is a happy songbird in the air,
Who sings the songs of yesterday,
Of all of my prayers.

(Chorus)

And in your darkest dreams the fallen angels fall down to the ground,
They knock upon your door and sweetly call upon your name.
And they're calling with sweet voices to your ear.
They're calling, they're calling to me near.
So listen closely voices become deep and leave marks upon your bone.
They only come to destroy you and claim you as their own.
So don't listen, Billy.

(Chorus)

Billy, is that you?
Turn your face and let me see what they've done to you.
Billy, where have you gone to?
They've been looking for your face for many years now.
Billy, so go home now,
You see it's getting kind of cold,
And sleep away the yesterday, wake to warm your soul.

Can't see out my window (blame it on the palette guy)
Wake me up so early
Can't get out the garage
Neighborhood's so crazy

Corona for breakfast/fire in a trashcan
It's the family business/life's hard when you're Mexican

Nail in my tire/driving to the fix-it shop
Mommy here's a flower/rear end a pick-up

Bums in my backyard/calling cops at 3 a.m.
Throw it in the shopping cart/tomorrow sell it back again

Wonder what you think of me/with my fancy SUV
If it was your territory/would you smile back at me

Wonder what your dreams are/wonder what you do at night
Do you go out to the bar/does it give your wife a fright

Why isn't your kid in school/needs to learn the golden rule
Do the kids think that he's cool/or realize who is the fool

Maybe I'll learn Spanish/find out what you're thinking
Then we could become friends/hang out all night drinking

Wanna drive the forklift/wanna use the nail gun
Get a callous on my hand/seems like you're having fun

Living in a movie for a brief period of time
Every vision a camera angle through the director's eye
Help me, I'm screaming
I need a fantasy
Help me, I'm dreaming
Can you help me?

Wisps of smoke through the sands of time
A cigarette rests in a full ashtray
I blow off the steam
And take another sip
I set down my cup
And put out my cigarette

Living in a movie, everything is so surreal
Super real and beyond thought, at least that's how I feel
Help me, I'm screaming
I need a fantasy
Help me, I'm dreaming
Can you help me?

I just called you up to get my balance
Called you up to get some reasons why
I don't remember what button I pushed to get here
Now I never want to say goodbye

Press 1 for spotless windows
Press 2 to learn French in 3 easy steps
Press 3 to always look fabulous in a swimsuit
Press 4 to get rid of that feeling of emptiness

I didn't have to wait for eternity
You just came on with this calming voice
I don't know where the hell you came from
Was it you who created every choice

Press 1 for that first kiss feeling
Press 2 for the taste of chocolate without sin
Press 3 for the greatest buzz you've ever had
Press 4 and he'll never raise his voice to you again

Living on Enlaka time
Little did we know
Just what lay before us
That time would move so slow

Traveling to find our spirit
Thought we'd lunch with friends
Singing for our supper
Never have this time again

Living on Enlaka time
Little did we know
Sipping on Romanian wine
Palinka made us feel so fine

Time's lived for its pleasures
A reward for the day's toil
Smiles warmer than the cooking fire
Food from the soil

Our eyes see 1809
But we know time's not still
Cows wander in from pasture
No need for dollar bills

Boarding buses in Brashou
We're promised prompt arrival
Time consumed by border patrol
For our own survival

Please deliver us safely
You hold us in your hands
Chaba says no problem
Levanta understands

Chorus:
Go to bar. Drink beer.
Never be alone.
Make plans to be making plans
Call me on the cell phone
Go to club. Hear band.
Dance to flashing lights.
Never stop to wonder
If there's more to life.

Trixie waits for Chad at Starbucks
Her latte's growing cold
He is late and she's been late
She thinks he should be told
She's not ready to be a mother
Or even be a wife
Chad can tell her what to do
So she can live her life and

(Chorus)

Driving south on Halsted
In a brand new SUV
The sun outside is shining
Chad's happy as can be.
He's on his way to see Trixie
He's off to break her heart
She's been such a drag lately
And he want a fresh start to

(Chorus)

All everyone seems to want
Is happiness and a nice car
But when it comes down to reality
They settle for the car so

(Chorus)

They'd been dating a while
And though he'd always been faithful
The temptation was a little too much
For him to refuse.

Chorus:
And love's a hard cold thing
It leads to dreadful places
Passionless stares, heartless don't cares
And tender yet callous embraces.

Todd thought her love could be bought
With diamonds and earing and bracelets
He gave them, then she slept with his friend
He hasn't shown his face yet.

(Chorus)

She thought he was the one
That he was her soulmate
But then the new guy at her work
Might also be nice.

(Chorus)

We spent our days in a think tank
At the end of it all we went out and drank
Throwing out our theories along the way
The ideas always came 'fore the light of day

I wish that I could steal like you
But without the process I'd have nothing to do
Powers that be thought you were the first
They had no idea of your theiving burst

I thought it was going to stay
Wish it would last another day
The train had left my mind was spent
My original thought had come and went

Now you've taken and made such a mess
Designing your future like a dress
Patterns stolen from a magazine
Here I am still honest and clean

The stings of thought came down
But they were too late
So much for original thought
So much too late

We've got it all down to a science
You'll like what we say you should
You'll keep buying what we're selling
No matter it it's good

A little T, a little A
And just a hint of F
Perfectly packaged
For your TV set

We've got it all down to a science
You'll buy what we tell you to
In colorful boxes
It's improved and it's new

Hey there's the Dali Lama
Selling you a car
And Martin Luther King's a shill
For a singles bar

We've got it all down to a science
You'll buy what we tell you to &c.

We've got it all down to a science
You'll like this TV show
You'll go out and buy the records
Played on the radio

Another fashion model singer
With her backup dancing men
She tried to write a song once
But she couldn't work the pen

We've got it all down to a science
You'll like this TV show &c.

A focus-tested movie
At the local megaplex
Three point six explosions
For every act of sex

We've got it all down to a science
You'll like what we say you should &c.

She sings sad songs in a minor key
Salvation at a discount
Her thoughts rapt by banality
As she preaches from her holy mount
She'd like grace
But not the price
She'd like Nirvana
Just for being nice
Salvation at a discount

He walks past an outstretched hand
He'll give at the office
He pretends not to understand
And considers it a kindness
"It's my money,"
Is what he's trained to say
And why don't they get a job
Anyway
Salvation at a discount

They're looking for a shortcut
That just isn't there
It's the only way that they know
But I don't really care
Cause I've got answers
Yeah, I've got a way
They've only got questions
And pretending to pray

They go to church religiously
They're there every Sunday
With their dimestore morality
And hopes of a brighter one day
They want grace
Without cost
But in the end
They're always lost
Salvation at a discount

Set yourself on fire
As a symbol of belief
Petrol in the square
'Til the match brings relief

Is it giving up
To the evils of the world?
Or is blood and fire
The only way to make a stand?

Set yourself on fire &c

Wars in Viet Nam
Nazis in the suburbs
Bombs in the cities
Tai chi at Tianemen

Set yourself on fire &c

Camus says life's meaningless
Maurin says he's wrong
When LaPorte lit the match
To which one did he belong?

Set yourself on fire &c

I am walking alone again,
Without someone to talk to.
You are my only trusted friend.
You're here with me 'til the end.

She has sailed across your sea.
Now there's only you and me.
Here's to an impossible dream.
You're wave's drowned out all my screams.

Chorus:
Well it feels like forever,
Since we were once together.
And it feels like a longtime,
And I'm looking towards the shoreline.

I'm sick of this bar scene
And the people that I meet,
Think I'll write a song about it.
You left me again
All alone and in defeat,
Think I'll write a song about it.

Chorus:
Think I'll write a song about it,
And get it off my chest.
Put it down in music
And put it to the test.

I think real deep things
when I've gotten really high,
Think I'll write a song about it.
I look in the mirror
And stare into my eye,
Think I'll write a song about it.

(Chorus)

I lie awake at night
And about these things I think,
Think I'll write a song about it.
I go to the kitchen
And fix myself a drink,
Think I'll write a song about it.

(Chorus)

Been driving for miles
My patience is wearing thin
I'd like to turn around
But I can't go back again
I wouldn't be here
If I could see clear
I wouldn't be lost
If I had forethought

My mind's in a trance
I dissappear into my thoughts
Hallucinations do their dance
But the line I do not cross
Where has my mind been
Since mile310
I wasn't thinking
My eyes stopped blinking

CHORUS: Are you with me on this journey
Or is it only in my mind
Do you feel sick and out of sorts
Or is this a life changing line

The cars all look the same
People staring into space
Travelin' blindly in their lanes
Blank looks upon their face
The rearview mirror
I just can't see clear
Swear I just passed you
Maybe you passed through
