Western Star

Sun she burns mean and big I think Ill go to cafe noir
Big screen turns me on Im gonna be your western star
How hard can it be?
I get my freon bingo inside your cool soft sarong
Rolling on the moquette inside a cul-de-sac kampong
How hard can it be?
How hard can it be when youre a western star?
Shining and free dont you know that a star burns best?
How hard can it be?
I said now how hard can it be?
Shes so sentimental shes got my picture in her head
The tool-man is in her dreams
I was lifted when she said how hard can it be?
And now hes headed skyward standing up on piles of plywood
And all he thinks about is how he looks like heroes-period bowie
And his figure blocks the light
And he takes away the night
And hes dancing to the new bolero
You soy un pistolero Im not shakin in my boots
Im ruler of this moon boy so if you move I shoots

Calistan

I took three days to drive down one street
The radio on, tuned to the big fleet
Invisible planes are cracking the concrete
Thats just what some people say
I put down my blanket on cigarette butt beach
I saw the old man, he was doing ok
Hes making his last stand
On old bottles and cans
round there, calistan way
Used to be sixteen lanes
Used to be nuevo spain
Used to be juan wayne
Used to be mexico
Used to be navajo
Used to be yippy-ay-i-dont know
Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
I play some pachinko I play pachisi
And st. anne is still making it breezy
In the valley of tar that once was l.a.
And my best friend hes the king of karaoke

Speedy Marie

Had a bit part
An endless reel
It always played in slo-mo
But now its fast
A spinning wheel
I know the dynamo
My heart
Is cast
Speedy marie
Ahead of the now
Shes better built thats how
Shes built for speed
Speedy marie
Speedy marie
Oh, yes indeed
I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
Its not enough
My liberty
There is a thing I want

Do You Feel Bad About It?

Let me tell you what I would do
Id consider the possibility of a mistake
Yeah, if I were you
I would give me a break
Do you feel bad about it?
Do you feel sad about it?
Do you feel sick about it
This parting of the ways?
I dont want to chat about it
I want to scream and shot about it
cause I aint had it about this
This parting of the ways
Well, I served you up all my affection
But that didnt work out so great
And Id help you with your defection
But I still think Im your best fate
Let me tell you what I would do
Id consider the possibility of a mistake
Yeah, if I were you
I would give me a break

Solid Gold

Never since I met you
Did you let me in
Even when I let you
You wouldnt call me friend
Pedal to the metal
Mister, its a sin
Getting so down
Id give you solid gold
Just for your finger
You get the medal
For getting so down
I guess you didnt see that sky
When the clouds are turned to isles
I was glad when you couldnt hear me
Nervous laughter when you shouted and cursed
Im not saying I understand
Lord knows who can understand
Life can be an awful plan
And yours it aint the worst
Here she comes now

Village Of The Sun

Well Ive been hanging down side up
Feeling really banged up
Whishing everybody would shut up in the village of the sun
Yes
More than just a little bit loud
Well I was more than just a little proud
To think that the opinions of the rocks and clouds
Would even give us recognition
Oh I ever (? )
I hear a sound that is delayed
I know that help is on the way
To the village of the sun
To the powers that be
To the powers that be
To an hour to be
Is it the intention of that child
To be a bastard in the wild
Eventually (? )
Like (? )
Of course the cannon makes a rucus

Los Angeles

I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
Dancing the beta can-can
Making me foreign
Oh yeah
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
No, not the one in south california
The got one in south patagonia
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
They got a bunch down in moleville
They got a bunch more still
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one is los angeles
They got one in twenty-five two five
Works just like a beehive
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles

Suffering

I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that youre involved in
Since youre gone youd be impressed
To know i, too, have been evolving
But I dont think you comprehend
Ive been suffering
Yeah, Ive been suffering
Guess Ill be suffering up around the bend
This love is a cancer in me
I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light in the world
Well, I found me a new friend
Ive been suffering
Yeah, Ive been suffering
Guess Ill be suffering up around the bend
I hung around in a leather bar
They threw me on the cement
Slept all night in my plastic car
Got in an accident
I brushed by you in the supermart

I Gotta Move

I gotta me me off the face

Yeah, he got sainted
You know it wasnt for the cash

I gotta get me off the face
He told me
In heaven
That every
Everything is fine

Yeah, that would make a good record
I gotta move
I gotta break
