Get It Right
A sterile Sunday, New York at morning
Her silver sparkles and make up running
Fills up a bathtub to put herself in
Til' all that's left is her muddy water
CHORUS
Let's get it right
We get it right when we want it
Her nails are plastic, her lips implanted
With legs elastic and eyes of pearls
And all the neighbors - no, they don't like it
It gets them jealous and excited
CHORUS
Once you get what you want
Wonder why it took so long
A sterile Sunday, New York at morning
Takes in a drag then blows it out
CHORUS
Madame Chung
Hollywood is fast asleep
Miami ain't my type
Chinatown is sick and bad
and that's the way I like it
I cut through the streets like an iron sword
Knock twice on a hardwood door
Way down, dark and low
A city underground
CHORUS
Madame Chung satisfies
Yeah, she gets you what you want all night
Madame Chung lay it out on the elegant satin
Everyone moves so fast without a name or face
Here today, gone tonight Ð and they forget you came
Yeah, they want to know what gets you off
Face down on the bedroom floor
Tied up, roughed up and cheated
But they all come back
CHORUS
Talk To Me
I'm on a mission, the foolish kind
It took me over and has not let up
I tried to tell you I like your style
But I got nervous and could not speak
So confidently cute and cool
You take me back to school
CHORUS
Talk to me talk to me - I won't say a word
I can't think of nothin' when you're smiling
Talk to me talk to me - I won't say a word
I just wanna listen, cuz you're righteous
No, you don't need to straighten out your hair
Don't need to wear no make-up baby
And all the clothes you got look so right on
I gotta talk to you to find out what you're about
So confident, so cute and cool
You walk into that room, I say
CHORUS
Do you know what you do
Do you know what you do
You make me like a school boy, yeah
Dematerialize
High class
Mary Jane is in a white dress
And she wears her date like a bracelet
To complete the look
Fall down drunk
Throwing a tantrum in a restaurant
And treating people like they're cheap trash
It ain't never gonna change
Artist in a high rise singing bout the hard life
Millionaires laughing 'cuz they ain't left no tip
They dematerialize
Money will change you
Seems you pick a habit or it picks you
Then they put your picture in the paper
They say "how beautiful and thin"
It's like a love song
Sticking by it til its all gone
They live and die by the obsession
It ain't never gonna change
Artist in a high rise singing bout the hard life
Millionaires laughing 'cuz they ain't left no tip
They put you in the front row, underneath the spotlight
Til everyone you knew, they dematerialize
Pressure Pressure
You don't wanna be the one
With a hand grenade for a heart
I don't wanna be the one
That'll pull that pin tonight
Like a bullet in a gun
Like a bomb ticking down
It'll detonate tonight
I'll be gone when it explodes
3... 2... 1
CHORUS
Pressure Pressure
Gives you a bad reaction
Every time the world gets smaller
You need a new relaxer
It eliminates the edge
Anesthetizes the mind
But all good things descend
And the countdown begins
CHORUS
You need a new relaxer
You don't wanna be the one
With a hand grenade for a heart
I don't wanna be the one
That'll lay you down tonight
CHORUS
Jodi
Jodi Jodi shakes it like a loaded gun
Every boy around her want a little fun
Yeah, they got a lot to learn
And she got another fire to burn
Honey, shake it like you ain't afraid to dance
CHORUS
Jodi Jodi, I am waiting by the window
Jodi, help me with the answer to your riddle
Or I may just break down and cry
No one's going to the record store
Cuz Jodi rocks it better than the Rolling Stones
If she don't give me the time
I'll never have a chance to make her mine
Sugar, let me show you that I do it right
CHORUS
I wanna know ya - I wanna kiss your lips
I been a stranger for too long
I got a haircut and a brand new shirt
And I'm knocking at your door, woman
Jodi Jodi, shake it like a laser light
Come on over, let me try and win your prize
CHORUS
Crazy World
Crossing cities, crossing oceans
I see you moving in slow-motion
Days and hours separate us
But I will wait -I will wait for you
There is no one else I want in this
CHORUS
Crazy crazy world Ð you are the one
Crazy crazy world Ð there's none other
Crazy crazy world
Stars and arrows shooting slowly
Around a world that's barely moving
Your good night is my good morning
We are one - We are one for life
I have seen the other side of this
CHORUS
You just don't know what you do to me
It's a feeling that I can't describe
And if you feel like you're down on your luck
Put your hand inside mine
Untouchable
I saw a sight that I could not believe
You gave me something I could never keep
You have it then you want it for the rest of your life
Anticipation is a waste of time
I'm not the type to have to stand in line
You send me where the hearts of the desperate collide
And I want you cuz you're
CHORUS
Untouchable - almost feel you on my fingertips when you lick your lips
Untouchable - gave you flowers and serenade and you went away
You used to hang on every word I said
I was busy making other friends
Then one day, one day you were out of my reach
So just lean in closer
CHORUS
I shot a shotgun
At the edge of your feet
You know, you didn't even notice
I couldn't find you down a dead end street
You said "look a little harder"
I saw a sight that I could not believe
You gave me something I could never keep
You have it then you want it for the rest of the night
CHORUS
Sweeter
Always starts out the same
I give you something nice
Then whisper something sweet
And you come for me
Pinned down in a perfect world
Like we're living in a Rockwell
We put us up too high
It makes the crashes hard
And sometimes when we're feeling low
I get used to you and you get used to me
CHORUS
Oh, tonight the things we said were sweeter
All our words and promises went deeper
I could never keep them from you
We made the rivers run
Tracked down the midnight sun
Found out the earth is flat
Then we were falling
Through a hole in a backseat car
You felt so far
So much we could've down
To help from losing touch
The best of the best came
When I would bend for you and you'd bend for me
CHORUS
New York Summer
These cold days and trivial nights
Creep in through your memory
Singing songs on the sand and the water
It's the perfect time to give it away
CHORUS
You and I - thinking back to a New York summer
You were mine - So young and undiscovered
It's been so lonely by the phone in the wall
Making no time for the friends at your door
Take off a layer, uncover a stone
Secrets of a universe and beautiful tones
CHORUS
I'll be waiting by the side of the road
Counting on your weakness to remind me
Who you are, who you'll be
A treasure, a tragedy
In the arms of someone else
These cold days and trivial nights
Quiet and hereditary
Singing songs on the sand and the water
It's the perfect time to be alive
CHORUS
Pills
I'm alive, too afraid to die for pills
So relax, can't you just relax?
Blowing up, blowing up the sky
I wanna hear it back, I love the way it sounds
In the back, baby in the back
I love it where you're at
Fatally in love
In the brand new sunlight
I can see you, see you
I give it all away for pills
Blowing up, blowing the sky for thrills
See the light, burning in your eyes
Sick and tired, banging on the walls
For all our lives
In the brand new sunlight
I can see you see me
You and I, giving it all away for pills
In the brand new sunlight
Look at me!
In the brand new sunlight
One more night, for pills
Will Not Let You Down
You don't come around no more
And our friends have been asking
Is something wrong, or did you just need a change?
I know your kind get caught up in the fantasy
But all your money's gone
And the buzz is wearing off
CHORUS
I will not let you down - Call on me if you feel stranded
I will not let you down - I'll give you time and understanding
To lose someone is a pain like no other
You'll go over it and over it
But it all comes out the same
Heartbreak is slow and it hits you when you're lonesome
I don't see you no more
Are you still hanging on?
CHORUS
Now whenever we talk
I feel like there's something missing
You lie and say that you're well
But the sentiment's still uplifting
Faraway friend
CHORUS
