The Rope Song
I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when shes in and when
She goes out
Well there aint nothing to guess about
She covers her ears when I play my guitar
She runs away but not very far
Just push a button - retractable cord
I pull her back when I get bored
One word from her and shed be free
But shes exactly where she wants to be
Magnetic madonna she glows in the night
Reciprocal pull, I flow to her light
Woman I am bound to you
But what do I want to do?
Woman what do I want?

The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize
Got a surprize from my honey
Got a message from my girl
When she picked up a pen from beside her bed
And wrote me a scribbled note
Said shed be coming back to see me
That she would be visiting real soon
Gonna get up from her long white bed
And leave this cold white room
We would once more live together
Go out on a lovin spree
Just like before the accident
My baby would look at me
I saw her sweet face trembling
As she tried to open her eyes
I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy
The day my baby gave me a surprize

Dont Rescue Me
Dont rescue me
I dont want to be
Let you and me be
Out of control
Just because I cant sleep at night
Just because I hear your voice
Just because I see your face
Just because I want you
You youre the one
Turn me inside out
You youre the one
Make me scream and shout
You youre the one
Derailroaded me
You youre the one
Dont rescue me
You make me move
Where I never been
Lost in orbit
All over you

WHIP IT
DEVO
crack that whip
give the past the slip
step on a crack
break your momma's back
when a problem comes along
you must whip it
before the cream sits out too long
you must whip it
when something's going wrong
you must whip it
now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late

Words Get Stuck In My Throat
If I had a tiny microphone
Hidden in my heart
It would amplify my love for you
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
If I had a little viewmaster
Stuck inside my brain
It would snap the pictures all of you.
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
If I had a telegraph
Tapping in my brain
It would tap the morse code I love you.
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
Hey, hey, hey
Whatd I say?
Everyday!
The words get stuck in my throat (repeating)

Clockout
All right clockout
I got my coat
I got my keys
I got my head down to my lungs and move my feet
Me I got all the secretaries down on their knees
Look at em scoot
They gonna clockout
I got my money
Tied up in stock
I got my mammy take my doggie for a walk
Me I got the biggest little business down on the block
Get ready get set
cause we gonna clockout
Down on all fours
Take my advice
Hear my decree
Im afraid the futures gonna be maintenance free
I got the big brush for your bowl
Baby cant you dig my plea
Gonna gag

The Words Get Stuck In My Throat (live)
If i had a tiny microphone
Hidden in my heart
It would amplify my love for you
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
If i had a little viewmaster
Stuck inside my brain
It would snap the pictures all of you.
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
If i had a telegraph
Tapping in my brain
It would tap the morse code "i love you."
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat
Hey, hey, hey
What'd i say?
Everyday!
The words get stuck in my throat (repeating)

Disco Dancer
Im a disco dancer
But Ive got no place to go
(Im a disco boy Im a disco boy)
Im a disco dancer baby
But my feet wont touch the floor
(Im a disco boy Im a disco boy)
Oh no
Ive been sleeping twenty years or more
I remember a long time ago
(Im a disco boy Im a disco boy)
Nya nya nya nya
Now Im back to change your mind
Now Im moving right in time
In a world thats turned unkind
I see whats going on behind my back
Im a disco dancer
I keep dancin on and on
(Im a disco boy Im a disco boy)
Oh no
Im a disco dancer baby

Patterns
Patterns all around you
Patterns everywhere
Patterns of behavior
Sometimes seem unfair
Can you recognize the patterns that you find?
Patterns unfamiliar
Patterns lead you through (to)
Patterns of discovery
Tracing out the clues
Can you recognize the patterns that you find?
Stuck in your mind
In this land where stability is hard to find
You can rearrange the patterns so unkind
Dont bother asking why a pattern never cries
Old patterns never die they just go on and on
Patterns multiplying
Re-direct our view
Endless variations
Make it all seem new

Growing Pains
So young so strong
Ignorance is bliss
Thin skin caught up again
In a place like this
Big people set the trap for you
Using you-know-what for brains
Youre just another lab experiment
And youre easy to replace
Too much too soon
Sensors overload
Brought down, chased out of town
Another dangerous road
Simply a problem of biology
Its a choice you never make
The scene is set and youre subjected to
A lethal dose of growing pains
Think it through
Logic must be made for fools
Leave them now
And be a has-been who never was
