Throw Back The Little Ones
Lost in the barrio I walk like an injun
So carlo wont suspect somethings wrong here
I dance in place
And paint my face
And act like I belong here
Chorus:
Throw back the little ones
And pan-fry the big ones
Use tact, poise and reason
And gently squeeze them
Hot licks and rhetoric
Dont count much for nothing
Be glad if you can use what you borrow
So I pawn my crown
For a ride uptown
And buy it back tomorrow
Chorus
Done like a matador I pray for the weekend
And hope the little girls still throw roses
Else Ill change my bait

Midnight Cruiser
Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that youre here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen well find somehow
No time is better than now
Chorus:
Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to harlem
Or somewhere the same
The world that we used to know
People tell me it dont turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that aint smilin like before

Fm
Worry the bottle mamma, its grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers, its party time
The girls dont seem to care whats on
As long as it plays till dawn
Nothin but blues and elvis
And somebody elses favorite song
Give her some funked up music, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, shell love you twice
The girls dont seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
Fm - no static at all
Give her some funked up music she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae shell love you twice
The girls dont seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
Fm - no static at all

Maxine
Some say that were reckless
They say were much too young
Tell us to stop before weve begun
Weve got to hold out till graduation
Try to hang on maxine
While the world is sleeping
We meet at lincoln mall
Talk about life the meaning of it all
Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl
Try to hang on maxine
Mexico city is like another world
Nice this year they say
Youll be my senorita
In jeans and pearls
But first lets get off this highway
Well move up to manhattan
And fill the place with friends
Drive to the coast and drive right back again
One day well wake up, make love but til then
Try to hang on maxine

Don't Let Me In
I hear you found a brand new friend
Well if I try to take you back again
If I decide to make amends
Don't let me in
You know, I'd like to be inside
But don't you listen when you hear me cry
Not even just to say goodbye
Don't let me in
I say no no no no, oh no
Don't let me in
I say no no no no, oh no
Don't let me in
Don't let me in
I never wanna do you harm
Don't pay no head to all my false alarm
If I should come with pleading arms
Don't let me in
You hear it knocking on your door
You pound another heart you can't ignore
But soon it isn't there no more

Home At Last
I know this super highway
This bright familiar sun
I guess that Im the lucky one
Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore
You think youve heard this one before
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last
She serves the smooth retsina
She keeps me safe and warm
Its just the calm before the storm
Call in my reservation
So long hey thanks my friend
I guess Ill try my luck again
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last

Fire In The Hole
I decline
To walk the line
They tell me that Im lazy
Worldly wise
I realize
That everybodys crazy
A womans voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak
Dont you know
Theres fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
Id like to run out now
Theres nowhere left to turn
With a cough
I shake it off
And work around my yellow stripe
Should I hide
And eat my pride
Or wait until its good and ripe

Third World Man
Johnnys playroom
Is a bunker filled with sand
Hes become a third world man
Smoky sunday
Hes been mobilized since dawn
Now hes crouching on the lawn
Hes a third world man
Soon youll throw down your disguise
Well see behind those bright eyes
By and by
When the sidewalks are safe
For the little guy
I saw the fireworks
I believed that I was dreaming
Till the neighbors came out screaming
Hes a third world man
Soon youll throw down your disguise
Well see behind those bright eyes
By and by
When the sidewalks are safe

Hey Nineteen
Way back when
In sixty-seven
I was the dandy
Of gamma chi
Sweet things from boston
So young and willing
Moved down to scarsdale
Where the hell am i
Hey nineteen
No we cant dance together
No we cant talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
Hey nineteen
Thats retha franklin
She dont remember
The queen of soul
Its hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks Im crazy
