Bang Bang

www.poppermost.com

I wanna be the greatest of the ultimate sins
I wanna have a turn so I can finally win
I wanna hit a million bucks at work
Where the slot machine is busy just making jerks.

Now I'm working on a bang bang bang
I'm working on a chain gang
I wonder who my friends are
I wonder if I'm ever gonna meet that star. Bang bang.

Well I'm working on a bang bang bang
Trying to find something to complain about
I'm dancing in the evening rain
I'm held up by a midnight train. Bang bang.

Dead president's corpse in a driver's car
Looking for a girl who really goes far
Lights up my eyes like a city street
Looking for the one I'd like to meet.

Well I'm working on a bang bang bang
Trying to find something to complain about
I'm dancin' in the evening rain
I'm waitin' on a midnight train.

I wanna be a giant man
I wanna lead someone to understand
Somewhere in the distance there's a great somewhere
And I'd be greatful to end up anywhere, anywhere,
     anywhere, anywhere.

While I'm working on a bang bang
Ciao!

The Bigger Kids

We are the bigger kids
Beware to little kids

I close my eyes
I'm running and I can win
I'm hanging around with
My best friend
Then I take a turn around inside my sit and spin

Just for your entertainment
Here we are... We're the bigger kids

We are the bigger kids
Beware to little kids
We are the bigger kids to them

Here we are... We're the bigger kids

I lie awake
I dreamt I was being chased
By other kids in classes
That I hate
How I wish to turn around to find my best, best friends

Just for your entertainment
Here we are... We're the bigger kids

We are the bigger kids
Beware to little kids
We are the bigger kids to them

Here we are... We're the bigger kids
Bigger kids

ROTC
Doesn't agree with me
Kinda preachy,
Kinda creepy
Kinda geeky

But you're my friend
So I won't turn away

In my office again
You stupid kid
Pay attention when I'm
Talking to you, mister!

I close my eyes
And burn inside
I close my eyes
And just float away...

We are the bigger kids
Beware to little kids
We are the bigger kids
Get out my way, you stupid kid!

We are
We are
We are the bigger kids...

Bitter Suite:

    b. All Tomorrow's Parties


© 2006 Poppermost (ASCAP)
Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

Yes, I know you're all alone today
But Daddy doesn't have the time to play
Living life just kinda took the place
Of the way your comb your hair; your laughing face

And I can't reach you
And I might miss a step
When you say that it's over
The only thing I kept
Was your name cos I needed one

No, don't talk to me so bitterly of loyalty
And all the time you refuse to talk to me
Living life just kinda took your place
But you talk to me and torture me
     although you're years and miles away

And I can't reach you
And I might miss a step
When you say that it's over
The only thing I kept
Was your name cos I needed one

All is not forgiven,
I'm living my life, not forgiving

And I can't reach you
No, I can't teach you
I lock my feelings in a jar until they go away
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day

Won't you come and join us
For all tomorrow's parties
Step inside, find a seat
Won't you come and join us
For all tomorrow's parties
Step inside, drink's on me

Blood and Luck

© 2004 Poppermost (ASCAP)
Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

Well it's dark and it's silent
Just an echo and faces down the hall
Against a windowsill, a photograph and memory

Of a proud and gallant girl
And a personality that should have ruled the world
And conquer any cause

It's just a picture framed within
A glass enclosed framework
Of what was love?
In any instance that we labeled love

Loneliness has become the lonely

Chorus:
Wash away yesterday
Just blow away what might remain
What fell apart
Who broke your heart
What killed it off doesn't matter in the scheme of things
It's just blood and luck

Well it's dark and it's quiet
Stories pass between these empty walls
Against the windowsill, I'm holding back a tear

For a proud and gallant girl
And a personality that should have ruled the world
And conquer any cause

It's just a picture framed within
A glass enclosed framework
Of what was love
In any instant that we labeled love

Loneliness has become the lonely

(Chorus)

Butterfly Inside A Jar

www.poppermost.com

Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la

I am just an employee
A paycheck monkey refugee
I punch the timecard when I leave
Some friends of mine were telling me

Yes your job is just a jail
No benefit, no call, no bail
Stuck inside the cell
Secured a place in hell

Chorus:
Do you really know what it's like?
Then you know
What it's like to be
A butterfly inside a jar
Inside a jar

Yes your mind can radiate
What you are and what you hate
And what you're choosin' not to see
Despite that's what'cha gonna be

Like a dog that cannot bite
Or like a moth around a porch light
Disconnected eyes
Disconnect my eyes

(Chorus)

Middle 8:
Forty miles and breezy
Turns your view to hazy
Turns your view to crazy
Let me break my wings on broken glass

Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la

www.poppermost.com

If, by some odd chance, you ain't seen me for awhile
Don't get excited, I still have the boyish smile
Don't try to guess my every move
Don't try to put your feet in something other than
     your own damn shoes

Bridge:
If I should fall behind
Don't tell a soul
I wasn't strong enough to go
If I should fall behind
Just let me fall
There's nothin' wrong, so

Chorus:
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall

I ain't waitin' for no revolution
Don't ask my advice; I ain't got no real solution
Don't try to guess my every move
Don't even ask me babe, even if I give a damn for you

(Bridge)

Catch me if I fall (repeated as refrain)

Cinnamon Sunshine

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

Did you come here to talk about obligations?
I just came here seeking a lil' bit of conversation
Suddenly my thoughts get in the way
Neither of us know just what to say
Did you say, my friend,
That romance was a dicey game?
It made a fool of you and left you
Walking 'round this town with a cane
Suddenly the topic seems to be
Blowing breezes where there ain't no trees.
The search goes on and on
I gotta find somebody kind
To kill,
To thrill,
To find my sin-o-mine
Cinnamon Sunshine
The day is calling for you
Suddenly it seems to me
That living life was just a dream
So wake me when it's over and I'll ride my
Sin-o-mine.

Concentrate On Me

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

A little bit of naughty conversation,
Baby, come over and talk to me
And if you're looking for a new direction,
Baby, concentrate on me

And if you're ready for a new vibration,
Baby, you're my cup of tea.
You quench my fire like rain
And, sugar-mama, talk to me

I learned a long, long time ago
When I was young; another girl
But now I am more than willing to baby walk you home

Maybe we'll be married
And have ourselves a baby girl
Who wonders who's watching you
As you spin across this world?

A little bit of naughty conversation
Baby, "conversate" with me
And if you're looking for a new vibration
Baby, concentrate on me

I learned a long, long time ago
When I was young; another girl
But now I am more than willing to baby walk you home

Maybe we'll be married
And have ourselves a baby girl
Who wonders who's watching you
As you spin across this world?

A little bit of naughty conversation
Baby, "conversate" with me
And if you're ready for a new vibration
Baby, concentrate on me

Dark Summer

www.poppermost.com

I'm all alone
I can see
There's no hope
For you and me

Love was ours
I want mine
Love takes time,
And I'm out of time

Bridge:
Aggravation's not good enough for me
Infatuation's not where I need to be
You're out of time

Chorus:
How far can I see?
It all depends on whose shoulders are under me
How far down below
Is the hero dragged by the undertow?

I'm all alone
Shadows fall
You'll get no
Reply at all

I'm all give
You're all take
My decision
Mine to make

(Bridge)

Down

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

So I'll never drink a toast to love
Shot glass of loneliness in my left hand
So I'll never sit inside "the circle"
Loving cups hold nothing I'll understand

Lovely, you're so lovely
I could say a thousand prayers just to drink from your cup
Only I'm so lonely
Turn the table, turn the tide
Turn my feelings upside down...

Love can be as trivial just like a matchbox
Left beside somebody's birthday cake
And love can pierce the soul just like an arrow
If it feels at odds with your mistakes

Lovely, you're so lovely
I could say a thousand prayers just to drink from your cup
Only I'm so lonely
Turn the table, turn the tide
Turn my feelings upside down...

I wonder if you ever see me
Or even if you're looking right through me
I wonder what's your biggest fear.
I sometimes wonder what you're thinking
You can't be thinking what I'm thinking
I wonder if I should even stay here.
Coz you hurt me...

Lovely, you're so lovely
I could say a thousand prayers just to drink from your cup
Only I'm so lonely
Turn the table, turn the tide
Turn my feelings upside down...

When no other
Gave their love or sympathy
You were there
With time to spare, spent just on me

Listen to
The stories running through my head
Please protect me
From the monster 'neath my bed

Come here, Duchess
I'm coming here to take you back home
Dear Duchess
Let's go running back home

Jumped the gate
Again; I came in late from school
Watched me play
We acted like God's golden fools

If you promise me
Together we'll grow old
I'll keep you with me
Even when I leave the fold

Come here, Duchess
I'm coming here to take you back home
Dear Duchess
Let's go running back home

Erika

Erika is seventeen
Got a speedboat and a submarine
You can tell by the way she smiles
She'd like to stick around awhile

Oh, my! Erika
So glad I met you!

Erika is seventeen
Got a job that pays in coffee beans
She asks me how I really feel
I got caffeine 'til I get my fill, and...

Chorus:
She don't want to hurt no one
Before the dizzy day is done
She wants to shine on everyone
Before she's alone again (all alone again)

Erika's got what you need
All the boys that beg her, "pretty please"
She doesn't have a master plan
To win the heart of every man

Oh, my! Erika
So glad I met you

Erika, from what I've seen
She's a lifeboat and a beauty queen
And when she wants to have some fun
She'll pull the trigger of your gun, and...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
You may be wild
But, baby, you're no child
Waiting on a crowd that tells you,
"Bring me coffee, bring me tea"
End of the day
But baby it's okay
Waiting on a cigarette break before
You serve your company (just like me)

(Chorus)

Farrah

It's a work-a-day world; Farrah's due in at two.
Life's crazy enough avoiding superstition and voodoo.
It's a feed-the-cat day; the bills are due.
Someone, somewhere must be watching out for you.

Chorus:
Farrah, strong and true,
It's a wonder all you do.
Round the clock-no time to lose-
Working the whole day through.
Farrah, Farrah
Please come through and
You know this song's for you.

Are you really as different as your old man seems to think?
Doing things that seem alien to him,
but you don't even blink.
Numbers come alive for you and guide your existence,
Looking for the ones that can bring you to happiness.

(Chorus)

Round the kitchen counter, 5 a.m.
Welcome to your working week.
Nicotine and caffeine binge and
Tired eyes that only see.

It's the end of a work-a-day week; Farrah's due back
     home round ten
Pack of lights and coffee, then she's headed back again.

(Chorus)

Forever Valentine

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

Well, it might be insecurity
Shootin' up my spine
I'm sitting on a fence
Cos it's my best defense

Well, it might be a "man and woman" thing
That keeps me sitting here
Screening every call
'Till evening starts to fall

I'd like to spend some time
With you sometime
If you're in the state-of-mind.
What did you do to make me need to hear from you?
Call me and I'll revive that shine
To your tired eyes.
Just keep me on your mind
Forever, Valentine.

Well, you got me in your crosshairs
Bull's eye; you hit your target
For better or for worse
The longing starts to hurt

And I love you -- and I want you
Do you need me like I want you?

Twenty odd years of talking to myself
Finally someone answers back
Twenty odd years of looking in the mirror baby
Finally someone's looking back
Twenty odd years of idle conversations
That never make a sound
I'm ready to raise my spirit high
But be there, baby, when I come back down
When I come back down
When I come back down

I'd like to spend some time
With you sometime
If you're in the state-of-mind
What did you do to make me need hear from you?
Call me and I'll revive that shine
To your tired eyes
Just keep me on your mind
Forever, Valentine

And I love you -- and I want you
Do you need me like I want you?

(I Am) Kait

www.poppermost.com


You tend to go insane
With primal urges on your brain
It's elemental, elementary!

Just a small town one-stop-shop
Designed for your needs
Every size and shape; they aim to please

This is how the story goes
We sold ten more copies of "Skin"
And nine of those
Latex denim plastic leather bustiers

And I'm still me,
I am the universal
And I am free to be you
And of course, I am Kait!

Look at all the closet freaks
Outside of the door
Guess it's time we open up the store

Lady Kait, Lady Kait...


*Spoken words on the recording*
Probably edible undies,
Because if you're going to wear those,
Then you can't have them on long.
Those things are gross, they're like stale fruit roll ups.

Like dude... porn shop... three years baby.
What do you expect from me?
I don't have any excuse like that.

Kait, wuzzup? How ya been?
Haven't seen you in forever.
And I'm like... I'm good, how's the horse?

Chorus:
Isabella Vina
You can be just anything you dream
And when you dream, please dream all the love there is
Coz there is enough in your dreams

Welcome, Isabella
To the world machinery
There's a time to take a stand, and
A time to let it be.

Braces and glasses
And history classes
Passing notes to the girl sitting right beside you

Kickball and handball
And friends that are screwballs
Make up on your face with your mother's love to guide you

Love scars and first cars
Your first favorite rock star
Daddy wonders what the dream upon your wall is

And when you dream, please dream all the love there is
Coz there is enough in your dreams...

It was automatic systematic
Looking for a friend
The door flew open and you dragged me by the skin

It was automatic systematic
The way you brought me in
And I was fair game for your petty little sins

One more time to take off the edge
From anything they ever said to you
And once we crossed the line we fled
The thrills of dancing on the ledge

I will begin, my sister, I will begin
I will begin, young mister, I will begin

It was automatic systematic
Looking for a clue
Everybody wants to win, instead we're all set up to lose
Everybody wants someone
Everybody wants to settle down
Everybody's on the merry-go-round

One more time to take off the edge
From anything they ever said to you
And once we crossed the line we fled
The thrills of dancing on the ledge

I will begin, my sister, I will begin
I will begin, young mister, I will begin

Kristen, if you're listening
Realize I could take you home
I'm ready if you are; I'm ready to
Search for a wild time, but don't
Tell me that you'll call me, or
Ever get back to me and
Never get my hopes up

Find me
Ready to go
Everywhere and
Nowhere; to
Count on how the angels sing; and
Hearts can sometimes take to wings

Kristen, if you're listening
Reeling from years of hiding
I'm ready to listen to you girl, so
Settle up, and bide your time; but don't
Tell me every story that you concoct for
Every friend to try and hurt them
Now they'll hurt you I'm ready to

Find me
Ready to go
Everywhere and
Nowhere; to
Count on how the angels sing; and
Hearts can sometimes take to wings

Never get my hopes up
I'm ready to jump to you

She's been waiting for a lonely lifetime for a memory
God knows she's been waiting for so long

My Condition

Oh great! Here it comes again
The trembling of a hand
The slightest gestures known to man
Is part of my condition, and

The glow inside my bulb's too bright
So I tried shutting of the light
The best inventions known to man
And I burn myself again, but

Chorus:
It's not the color of your hair
Or all my favorite t-shirts that you wear
It's all in how you came right back
To check on my condition

It's not enough to save your soul
So save your dimes for growing old
When every wind is chilling cold
It's part of my condition, and

I am the colour of the day
Silly boy blue in shades of grey
Things very seldom go my way
And I burn myself again, but

At a "cocktail and cigarette"
Some parts I don't remember
But some parts, best to forget

One more round, and down inside
It flips the switch for my friend Hyde
'Til I step back, wake up, turn around, be myself

Dollar in the jukebox,
And I just don't really wanna go back home
I'm looking for a college grad
Whose boundless legs are bound to roam

One more round, and down inside
Flicks the switch for my friend Hyde
'Til I step back, wake up, turn around, be myself

Ain't no use pretending I'm someone else

One more shot, and down inside
It flicks the switch for my friend Hyde
'Til I step back, wake up, turn around, be myself

Ain't no use pretending I'm someone else

Paint the town
A million shades of
What makes me and you
Feel we're bound to lose

One more round
A shot might work some magic
In this town
It's the trick that plays the clown

Always let them see you there
So they won't forget, and not regret it
Always let them see, right there
The anger in your eyes... we got

One more mile to go
One more mile to go
And never let them see you sweat
You might forget, we got one more mile to go

All night long
The heroes and the villains
Buy you drinks
It kinda makes you think

All night long
The heroes and the dandies
Make the scene
And they're lookin' kinda mean

Always let them see you there
So they won't forget, and not regret it
Always let them see, right there
The anger in your eyes... we got

One more mile to go
One more mile to go
And never let them see you sweat
You might forget, we got one more mile to go

Three Butcher covers she did have
A Yellow Submarine with autograph
Sacred vinyl pressings from Japan

Bangles, Beatles, Rolling Stones
Frank Sinatra and Ramones
Airplane, Coltrane, go
What's that sound

Chorus:
Get a move on
Get your groove on
Get to Pattie's Record World
You like the music
You can't refuse it
Get to Pattie's Record World

If you have a key, unlock the door
Let me loose inside my favorite store
I'll gladly take the tour
What's that sound?

(Chorus)

She met Bo Diddley, met Bo Diddley
Yeah Bo Diddley, met Bo Diddley
Met Bo Diddley, met Bo Diddley
Met...

Punched Up Red, Black, & Blue

Listen to me, mister

My understanding is very crystal
I can see your mind is mournful and confused
And everything, at least to my understanding
Has been punched up red and black and blue

I figured everything that I read in the papers
Past from mouth to headlines was the vicious truth
And everything that I pick up off my TV screen
Is punched up red and black and blue

Punched up red and black and blue... listen to me

Listen to me, mister

I see another body starving in the street today
It's them, tomorrow maybe me or you
Are you prepared to ask a stranger for a favor
When you're punched up red and black and blue?

My understanding is very crystal
I can see just why we're weary and confused
And yesterday could set up all of your tomorrows
When you're punched up red and black and blue

Punched up red and black and blue... listen to me

Listen to me, mister

Rose-coloured eyes
-coloured books
-coloured anything imaginable

Well imagine that.

Rose-coloured scars
-coloured skies
-coloured anything she sees

Then something found me
Laughing at her hair
Why should she care?
She knows I'm waiting there
She knows I'm waiting... Rosie, ma-ma-ma-ma, Rosie

Rose in her infinite wisdom standing up
And standing tall just like a figurine, coloured tangerine

Rose sits alone
all alone
Lonely, where she wants to be

Then something found me
Laughing at her hair
Why should she care?
She knows I'm waiting there
She knows I'm waiting there ma-ma-ma-ma. Yeah.

Rosie, ma-ma-ma Rosie

Rose sits alone
all alone
Lonely, where she wants to be

Then something found me
Laughing at her there
Why should she care?
She knows I'm waiting there
She knows in her wisdom and soul I'll be waiting there.
She knows in her wisdom and soul I'll be waiting.
Rosie, when you gonna bloom?

She Let Go

STOP! the world I wanna get off, she said
The view from the carousel stays the same
Stop, get up, I want to get outta here, she said
Well, it's the nature of the beast we can't explain

And down the road? She doesn't live there anymore
She burned her bridges long before she settled score
She let go
She let go
Closed her eyes and closed her mind and she let go

Hey, lets jump off at the same time, she said
Don't look down just take my hand
I don't know if I could do that, I said
Do you know where you might land on your command?

And down the road? She doesn't live there anymore
She burned her bridges long before she settled score
She let go
She let go
Closed her eyes and closed her mind and she let go

STOP! the world I wanna get off, she said
Stop it your damn self, I'm goin' home
Maybe I could liberate you
Radiate and confiscate you
But my peace of mind is not your sanctuary

And down the road? She doesn't live there anymore
She burned her bridges long before she settled score
She let go
She let go
Closed her eyes and closed her mind and she let go

She let go
She let go
She let go

Stickfigure Girlfriend

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl

I can draw from happiness
Anything my mind can guess
And look into her autumn eyes
With lines and curves that tantalize

Chorus:
And I can bend and shape her any way I wanted to
And I can make her so even she can look like you
And I love my... stickfigure girlfriend

Circles form her eyes and head
And bubbles wrap the things she says
And I can make her look at me
Or run to me and stand beside me

(Chorus x2)

Middle 8:
Hey, stickfigure! You're just imagination to me
You're no good for the boy!
Hey, stickfigure! You're just an apparition to me
Just one of my toys

(Chorus x2)

And her eyes are deepest blue
Prettier than any ocean I once knew
And her eyes are deepest green
Prettier than any ocean I've ever seen

Stickfigure!

Swan

Float like a swan...

Don't you wish that you could float like a swan
Underneath the golden rays of the sun?
An ugly duckling, don't you wish you could be
A beautiful thing that everyone wants to see?

It will be your day to come undone
And walk the shoreline to a brighter sun
We could all be like the chosen ones
And float like a swan

Don't you wish that you could sail like a swan
Treading water in the face of the dawn?
Brilliant and broken; don't you wish you could be
Nevermore, and further more, there's nothing to see

It will be your day to come undone
And walk the shoreline to a brighter sun
We could all be like the chosen ones
And float like a swan

Is your reflection just reflections
Of the way that you'd like to be?
Or is it just another picture
Of the damaged goods you see?

Sofia Marie
She is the love of their life
Up in the morning and in the window
Waving down the friendly passersby (bye, bye)

Pointing at the birds
That hang like kites up in the open sky
Waving at the friendly passersby... blip!

Choo-choo-choo baby
Go go Canoga
Don't get icky with the one, two, three

Sofia Marie
She finds it necessary
To scale the cat and dog
And "Tom and Jerry" the canary
All you can really do is keep her safe inside (aye, aye)

Pointing at the birds
That hang like kites up in the open sky
Waving at the friendly passersby... blip!

Life is just so fine on the solid side of the line, blip!

Sofia Marie
She is the love of their life
Up in the morning and in the window
Waving down the friendly passersby (bye, bye)

Pointing at the birds
That hang like kites up in the open sky
Waving at the friendly passersby... blip!

Sweet Sofia Marie

Pointing at the birds
That hang like kites up in the open sky
Waving at the friendly passersby... zoot!

So-fia Marie!

Congratulations Jackie! Winner of the "Especially for You" Song Contest

Then There's Jackie

Alex Oliver, Roy Al Rendahl, & Kyle Morrow
www.poppermost.com

Good times and bad times
Are only reserved for the best of friends
She taught me to laugh at myself
How to grow through the pain

And surely she gestures
The Jester of Jokes, The Queen of Puns
She stops to smell the rose-es
While slow dancing in the rain

Chorus:
You inspire me
Jackie
When I have some news to share
Then there's Jackie

Bridge:
I always see her face
Lit up with joy
She fills up every void in the room
Till the bitter end
You make the perfect friend
Here's to every moment
I spend with you, hey Jackie!

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Good times and bad times
Are only reserved for the best of friends
Never give up on yourself
Coz that's all that you get

Not many speak up or stand up
To take pride in who they are
But she always finds the best
Of everything so we're all set

(Chorus)

This Time Tomorrow

© 2002 Poppermost (ASCAP)
Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

I heard you were coming this time tomorrow
Last time I saw you, you were a raging ball of sorrow
You cried because no one could hear you
You never noticed no one wanted to

A pocket full of sympathy is all I have for you
And now you're coming unprepared, I don't know what to do
I anticipate that you are not the same old one
Who got loaded like a pistol, and fired at the sun

You compromise and compromise
And I can see it in your eyes
You want to fight the enemy
Oh who... might that be?

And when we enter this room, this time tomorrow
The room is filled with secrets only you and I know
You played "little girl lost" in the great big city
Desperate for someone who might show you some pity

A pocket full of sympathy is all I have for you
And now you're coming unprepared, I don't know what to do
I anticipate that you are not the same old one
Who got loaded like a pistol, and fired at the sun

You compromise and compromise
And I can see it in your eyes
You want to fight the enemy
Oh who... might that be?

The sun might shine, I might go blind; it happens everyday
Would my heart come in 2nd place if you were here today?
I anticipate that you are not the same old one
Who got loaded like a pistol, and fired at the sun

You compromise and compromise
And I can see it in your eyes
You want to fight the enemy
Oh who... might that be?

This time tomorrow...

Where the Guilty Prayed

© 2002 Poppermost (ASCAP)
Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

I walked into
Such a sacred room
A wooden cross there
And a stained glass view

And I saw crystal chandeliers
And saw those things so crystal clear
The beads and rosaries still sound the same
They rattle like a ball & chain -- ball & chain

I walked into
Such a blissful room
Among the people
With their lotus views

Many sacred beads
They spread into infinity
The chanting rang around my hollow head
Until my insides bled -- 'till they bled

Chorus:
(and) Everything pretty much looks the same
Where the guilty prayed
For a moment, I was Mary Magdalene
Standing at the altar
Where the guilty prayed

I walked into
His pearly white decay
He asked me for submission
And suggested that I pray

I asked him for a "pretty please"
With sugar if I'm on my knees
To saw that I'd behave and I would stay
Where the guilty prayed -- where they prayed

(Chorus)

I walked into
Such a blissful room
Among the people
And their dirty view

And I saw crystal chandeliers
And saw myself so crystal clear
The beads and rosaries still sound the same
Where the guilty prayed -- where they prayed

(Chorus)

Whiskey Flat

Down by the river
Down by the sea
Johnny broke a bottle
And he blamed it on me

Chorus:
I had to move
Back to Whiskey Flat (Whiskey Flat)
Just to show you where my mind is at
I'm gonna take the road that leads me back
To Whiskey Flat

Hey, hey get out of my way
Just got back from the USA

(Chorus)

Me and Ms Sassafras was messin' 'round upstairs
Landlady said, "Don't want no menfolk up there."

Wishing Well

Alex Oliver & Roy Al Rendahl
www.poppermost.com

If you wanna dance with me
Then dance with me
And never ask me why
If you wanna help me girl
Then shelter me, shelter me
Against the falling sky

No one, nothing is what it seems
But we all have this special need

Yeah, time will tell
Inside your heart is a wishing well

If you wanna play with me girl
Then stay with me, stay with me
And help me mend my wound
If you want to give to me
Then live with me, live with me
And walk the dark side of the moon

No one, nothing is what it seems, what it seems
But we all have this special need

Yeah, time will tell
Inside your heart is a wishing well

I'll never see another day like this one
It could have been coincidence
I'll never see another night like this one
Ordinary, no
But the sky is blue, and now I'm blue
Coz I'm growing up, growing old, growing into you
I'm growing into you

If you've got a song to sing
That I've never heard
I've never heard another voice like you
And if you want to dance with me girl
Then dance with me, dance with me
I don't mind, I never could

No one, nothing is what it seems, what it seems
But we all have this special need

Yeah, time will tell
Inside your heart is a wishing well
Is a wishing well
Is a wishing well

Three coins inside a wishing well
