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

The Girl From
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove And she became the from yesterday He a plane across the sea To some foreign She at home and tried to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the from yesterday She doesn't know right She doesn't what's wrong She only knows the that comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That she's cried he's away Because she deep in her heart That be back someday The light's on in the she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the from yesterday
Learn To Be
It's just another day in As you to your bed give anything to silence Those voices ringing in your You you could find happiness over that green hill You thought you be satisfied But you never Learn to be We are like sheep without a We don't how to be alone So we wander 'round this And wind up the wrong gods home But the cries out for another And they answering that bell And one more starry-eyed Meets a violent Learn to be Learn to be Now the flowers in garden They don't smell so you've forgotten The heaven lying at feet There are so contridictions In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken Even if heart is breakin' waiting for you to awaken And you will- Learn to be Learn to be You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila
It's another sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was a hired hand Workin' on the dreams he to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun goes Just another lonely boy in And she's out runnin' She wasn't just another And I couldn't from comin' on been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' It comes down to friends It never Take shot of courage Wonder why the right words never 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, rising up the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head heavy and my sight grew dim I had to for the night There she stood in the I the mission bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this be Hell' she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices the corridor, I thought I heard say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a face Plenty of room at the Hotel Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to So I up the Captain, bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to them say... Welcome to the California Such a place Such a face livin' it up at the Hotel California What a surprise, bring your alibis on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it with steely knives, But they can't kill the beast Last I remember, I was for the door I had to find the passage To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
