Cities
(david byrne)think of london - small city
Dark - dark in the daytime
People sleep - sleep in the daytime
If they want to - if they want to
Im checkin em out
Im checkin em out
Ive got it figured out
Ive got it figured out
Theres some good points - some bad points
But it all works out - Im just a little freaked out
Find your city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city -
Find yourself a city to live in
A lot of bridges in birmingham
A lot of ghosts - and a lot of houses
Look over there - dry ice factory
Good place to get some thinking done
Im checkin em out
Im checkin em out

Runaway Jim
I had a dog.
His name was Jim
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Took all of my old clothes with him.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
He was twelve years old when his trip began,
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Hauling down the highway in my old sedan.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway.)
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
Now I wish someone'd tell me where old Jim went,
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
'Cause he took all the money that I saved for rent.
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim
By the time he came home he was seventeen.

Halley's Comet
Halley's Comet, I-said-a Halley's Comet
How could you know that I lived in a desperate world?
How could you dream that we were all made out of stone?
What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof?
What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?
Knock on my windows, link up the chains
It's gotta be easy, no splinters no pain
It's Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti
And I love meatballs so you better be ready
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
Central part of town, I'm going down
I'm going down to the central part of town
["Halley's Comet" over doo-wop]
What did I do?
And don't be blamin' eat my cashew
For everything I do to get the story
And everything I do to pull me in
And everything I say to get the title
But when they use it on me I reject it

Nicu
1st verse
Appendages flailing running at me, ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me.
The devious gelatin holding me fast, miraculous now you let me ooze past.
Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze, the tip of stalactites incising my
Knees.
A slipper of sand dollar day at the shore, the next evening at home that i
Dread even more.
Chorus
Would you please make clear to me, Im peering out through your opacity.
Though youve rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I dont sing your key.
2nd verse
Look back on those days when my life was a haze, gelatin lay on a truncated
Sleigh.
Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank, from a freemasons cranked to the
Overflow tank.
Bane of the weasel for biting is fun, jump on the turnstile and watch me go
Round.
Swim with the cactus and float with the stone, I try to convey what you strive
To condone.
Chorus

Punch You In The Eye
I come from the land where the oceans freeze
Spent three long months on the open seas
Paddled 'til it seemed I could take no more
When my ship hit ground on Prussia's shores
How was I to know that day
That the winds had swept me Wilson's way
'Cause soon towards me from the East
Came Wilson and his men on multi-beasts
Well it seems he didn't like my face
And I quickly learned that Prussia was an evil place
They tied me to a chair with a giant clip
And held a piece of paper to my tender nip(ple)
Then they tossed the chair in a tiny shack
And told me not to worry 'cause they'd soon be back
But I loosened up the binds where my hands were lashed
And ran towards the cove where my boat was stashed
Singing "Oh Wilson, someday I'll kill you 'til you die
Oh Wilson, Punch you in the Eye"
When Wilson knew that I was loose
I'd surely be subjected to some real abuse

Daniel Saw The Stone
Oh daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Daniel saw the stone that came rolling through babylon
Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Coming down to redeem a mighty world
[repeat above 4 lines]
Well, meet me, jesus, meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
cause now if these wings should fail me
Lord, I want to hitch on another pair
Oh jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Jesus was the stone that came rolling through babylon
Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Coming down to redeem a mighty world
[repeat above 4 lines]
Oh, well the tree it was bending
Up in the heavenly land
Well, my God spoke unto the holy ghost
He said, come on and lets make man
Im looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Im looking for the stone that came rolling through babylon

Trials & Tribulations
The swiss miss girl made her fortune
Doing commercials on tv
But easy come, easy go was
Her philosophy
She spent all of her money
She was searching for some cash
So she went to her friend capt n crunch
Whom shed met at a hollywood bash
The second that he saw her
He said, I bet youre in need
Of some dough
Perplexed and confused she asked him,
Oh but captain how did you know?
Laughingly he responded,
It was really just a lucky hunch
With tears in her eyes she pleaded,
Will you help me out capt n crunch?
The trials and tribulations
Of the swiss miss girl
Shes got a famous reputation

Cavern
Your time is near, the missions clear
Its later than we think
Before you slip into the night
Youll want something to drink
Steal away before the dawn, and
Bring us back good news
But if youve tread in primal soup
Please wipe it from your shoes
Just then a porthole pirate
Scourged the evening with his cry
And sanctuary bugs deprived
The monkey of its thigh
A dust arose and clogged my nose
Before I could blink twice
Despite the stuff that bubbled up
I gave some last advice:
The flesh from satans dogs
Will make the rudiments of gruel
Deduct the carrots from your pay
You worthless swampy fool

Fee
Fee
In the cool shade of the banana tree
On the rugged trail toward the balcony
A child of the twentieth century
A dried up goliath and a weasel named fee
Far away in another place
A fading beauty named milly grace
A gospal singer with pox on her face
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace
Fee was a buddhist prodigy
Long past the age of maturity
Someday he knew it would set him free
Like it did for floyd the chimpanzee
Oh, fee, youre trying to live a life
Thats completely free.
Youre racing with the wind
Youre flirting with death
So have a cup of coffee
And catch your breath
Fee first met milly in a bar in peru
