New York Girlz

New York girls play hard to get
but they've been around with everyone
& I don't know if I shouldn't quit
before I do something that can't be undone
Oh, those New York girls,
Oh, those beautiful girls,
love those New York girls,
world's most beautiful girls,
New York girls are hard to please
& I don't know if I can satisfy
them, because all them seem to do is tease
& uh, try to get with other guys
Oh, those New York girls,
Oh, those beautiful girls,
love those New York girls,
world's most beautiful girls,
though you haunt me,
you can't see me,
though you're near me,
you can't be me,
so I tell you,
you must leave me,
though I want you,
& you need me,
Oh, those New York girls,
Oh, those beautiful girls,
love those New York girls,
world's most beautiful girls,
[synthesizer solo]
New York girls are such a drag
because they give it up to worthless fools
& uh, leave me standing in the rain
because I don't got none of that New York cool
Oh, those New York girls,
Oh, those beautiful girls,
love those New York girls,
world's most beautiful girls,
though you haunt me,
you can't see me,
though you're near me,
you can't be me,
so I tell you,
you must leave me,
though I want you,
& you need me,
Oh, those New York girls,
Oh, those beautiful girls,
love those New York girls,
world's most beautiful girls

Ol' Anansi
03:56
|
|||
Anansi wove a web of lies
to catch a million juicy flies:
he told them of a magic land
where dung and honey flowed like sand
upon a beach of rancid meat--
a land of fat & sickly sweets
which could be theirs if they would go
with him down paths gods only know--
Oh, all you pretty ones,
you sip your sundaes in the sun
while Old Anansi watches you
& spins the lies you think are true--
you think you're monarch of the sky
but really you're a stupid fly
on arrogance & ego high
& in Anansi's web, you'll die
Anansi led his shallow band
down roads they couldn't understand
through pipes that doused their wings in oil
& mires that made their walking toil
till none of them could journey on
then one fly asked how far they'd gone
Anansi only smiled & said
they'd reached the Kingdom of the Dead--
Oh, all you insect brains,
you love to state your royal claims
but Old Anansi's got you snared
& though you squirm, nobody cares--
you think you're monarch of the sky
but really you're a stupid fly
on arrogance & ego high
& in Anansi's web, you'll die

I Need Somebody Nü
03:06
|
|||
I don't want a girl who tells me what to do
I need somebody who doesn't want some fool
I need somebody who's no posh princess fake
I need somebody who doesn't converse with snakes
I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new
I don't want a girl who's always dragging me down
I don't have time to play nobody's dumb clown
I don't have time to play nobody's French maid
I don't have time for nobody's who's afraid
tell me that you love me & I'll know you're a liar
try to fly above me & I'll just float on higher
you think you're sable fur but you're only cheap cracked leather
the future is a dream but we're not sleeping together
I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new
[synthesizer solo]
Hey!
I don't want a girl who likes nothing but herself
I don't want someone who wants anyone else
I don't want someone who thinks she's England's queen
I don't want someone who won't give it to me
tell me that you love me & I'll know you're a liar
try to fly above me & I'll just float on higher
you think you're sable fur but you're only cheap cracked leather
the future is a dream but we're not sleeping together
Hey!
I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new

Acid Kat
02:48
|
|||
the moustache of a pedophile
two squirming roaches are his eyes
his body's a monstrous cave white slug
his soul's no man's-- his soul's a bug:
Bug Man, where'd you disappear
Bug Man, animal Caesar,
Bug Man, with your acid teeth
Bug Man, cat, you're haunting me
I hear the whispers breathe his name
the cobwebs screech his gallows-fame
I see his shadows everywhere
yet when I turn, he's never there
well, Hulk Hogan forged his muscles
& the kids all stitched his wings,
dum dum boys high on soda's buzz filled
his insect eyes with lights & left him blind to harpy stings
Bug Man, where'd you disappear
Bug Man, animal Caesar,
Bug Man, with your acid teeth
Bug Man, cat, you're haunting me
in ancient days, he stalked the earth
when gods were young & still had worth
his ugly flute enchanted all
till something woke & caused his fall
well, the Hulk gave him up for dead
& his gossamer wings turned to sewer air
when Mt. Guinevere erupted
but I sometimes here he's out there still sputtering somewhere
Bug Man, where'd you disappear
Bug Man, animal Caesar,
Bug Man, with your acid teeth
Bug Man, cat, you're haunting me

U're Not Rite
03:14
|
|||
you come to me with all your little stories
about how everybody else caused all your worries
& now you're beggin' me for more money
but I'm not gonna give you any, Honey
'cause you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& Lucifer will freeze before you've see the light,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& there's no use in words-- I want you out of my sight,
'cause you're not right, you're not right, you're not right
[synthesizer solo]
you think you're the high queen of everything you've seen
but Darlin', you've never seen anything other than me
& I'm the only bridge you've had the luck to burn
so say goodbye, 'cause finally I've had luck to learn
that you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& Lucifer will freeze before you've see the light,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& there's no use in words-- I want you out of my sight,
'cause you're not right, you're not right, you're not right
you think I'm here 'cause my chances are slim?
you think I don't know about or notice him?
you think I'm a genie summoned from your dreams?
you think a lot of things,-- your thinking's cracked at the seams
'cause you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
don't tell me what to do:
I don't belong to you
your every word is lies
but I'm not hypnotized
& you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right,
I'm not your earnest pawn
I'm not your golden dawn
I'm not your time or space
I'm just your life erased
& you're not right,
& you're not right, you're not right, you're not right

Luv Maze
03:00
|

love maze
trapped in your love maze
you can use me
even abuse me [Oh, Baby]
but just don't lose me
in your love maze
because I need you
can't ever leave you [Oh, Lord, yeah]
& if you left me blue, my life would bleed away
you got me bound in chains only your love can break
I'm rusted & broken in a nowhere dive bar
just watching you smoking that a . . . Chinese cigar
you probably see me & think I'm just another nowhere lead box
but I'm telling you, Baby, I'm the key to your locks
trapped in your love maze & I can't get out
trapped in your love maze; I can't do without you, Babe
trapped in your love maze, lost inside of you
trapped in your love maze, & girl, I'd die for you
the women come & go, in the room or on the street
yet I'm no Michelangelo, so they never talk of me
Oh, as you sip your coffee, as you do your pretty hair,
spare a thought for me, 'cause in your labyrinth I'm snared
trapped in your love maze & I can't get out
trapped in your love maze; I can't do without you, Babe
trapped in your love maze, lost inside of you
trapped in your love maze, & girl, I'd die for you

cynical, you're just so cynical,
I bet yah found a flaw
in the Taj Mahal
because you're . . . so so so cynical
& no apostle
is holy enough for you
not even St. Paul--
they're all low criminals
because you're . . . so so so cynical
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
you could be a millionaire
you could be a superstar
but instead, you're just hot air
puffed from some tacky cigar
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
& I'm about to lose control
[fiddle solo]
cynical: you like to talk real tall
about how you could do it all
but you don't & you won't
because you're just so-so
so so so so so
so so so so so so
so so so cynical
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
you could be an astronaut
you could be a gold idol
but instead, you're just a plastic robot
whose only function is repeating, "No"
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
& I'm about to lose control
[second fiddle solo]
cynical, you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical
you're just so cynical

John Hawkwood's Blackfoot Sun Chengdu, China
As day slowly dies & the sun sinks somberly into the sea, a whispered conversation tells a strange tale of a nameless prince who loved a foreign princess, but she left him, & so he lost his face & turned to stone. And some rumors hint that the prince never wholly succumbed to this petrification, that deep within the sad monument, there is a human heart still, bleeding endlessly through long eons. ... more
