Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't me" They point crooked little fingers ar everybody else all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, of that Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and cryin' and a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the same since you had your crash But you might better if I gave you some cash The more I think it, Old Billy was right kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't want to play, then you as well split Get over it, Get it It's like going to confession time I hear you speak You're the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I it weak You drag it around like a ball and You in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody Complain about the present and blame it on the I'd like to your inner child and kick its little ass Get it Get it All bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it Get it Get it It's gotta sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get it

The Girl From
It reall sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, out the door and drove away And she became the from yesterday He took a plane the sea To some foreign She stayed at home and to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She doesn't know what's She doesn't what's wrong She only the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't the teardrops That she's cried while he's Because she knows in her heart he'll be back someday The on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never home She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from
Learn To Be
It's another day in paradise As you stumble to bed You'd give anything to Those voices ringing in your You you could find happiness Just that green hill You thought you would be But you will- to be still We are sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we wander this desert And wind up following the wrong home But the flock cries out for And they keep that bell And one more messiah Meets a farewell- to be still Learn to be Now the flowers in garden don't smell so sweet Maybe you've The heaven lying at feet There are so many In all messages we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is and shaken Even if your is breakin' It's for you to awaken And you will- Learn to be to be still You keep on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's another sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was a hired hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in And out runnin' 'round She just another woman And I couldn't keep from on It's been so Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' It comes down to dealin' It ends another shot of courage Wonder why the right words come You just get It's another tequila sunrise,this old looks the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, up through the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to for the night There she stood in the I heard the bell And I was to myself, 'This could be or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There voices down the corridor, I thought I heard say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the California Any of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, some to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since sixty nine' And still those voices are from far away, Wake you up in the of the night Just to them say... Welcome to the Hotel Such a lovely Such a lovely They livin' it up at the Hotel What a nice surprise, bring alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it with steely knives, But just can't kill the beast thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to the passage back To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can any time you like, but you can leave!
