Hollywood Hollywood You talk so loud, you talk so much and you talk so funny, But honey, what are you talkin' about ? Something 'bout being, being reimbursed For every unregistered virus. Drainpipes are filled up with dirty rain, And the leisure train is speeding in the diamond lane. With electricity shut off again Leaving the night-life only for the madmen. Oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. Well, everybody's got their own smoke-screens With personal armies for everyone in between. With plastic rifles given to every team What a beautiful dream, even bullets have guarantees. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. There's the sweetest evil image detector As sweet as nectar, an overrated candy dispenser. She don't give food to eat or anybody, anyplace to sleep, But she can tell you, what you can and what you can't create. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. Oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, Guess it was never understood To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good... The Wallflowers |
Honeybee Honeybee Seen the shadow on my wall Turn and fall On broken hands and all Turn and crawl Seen that sun gone down And the waterfall She stood tall in the fallen rain Right off an orphan train She'll run to me again, I believed, See how wrong, how wrong you can be. I know who watches you, Who watches me ? I know who hears you, Who hears me ? If my eyes blind, Who'll see The best in me ? I hear all the lonely cries Underneath all these lies She can't get them by, Or through me. See how wrong, wrong you can be. My honey bee, Why are you flyin' so far from me ? She keeps her hands so free And walks through me, Straight on through the dead of night Her face is painted white By these street lights. They hold you down so tight And like hounds they bite. She fell down in her diamond suit On lonely avenue, her color's only blue She won't take clues, See how wrong, how wrong you can be. My honey bee What on earth are you trying to do ? And where that hero falls, I held on I always thought I'd see the lights close on me And the water freeze, surrounding me. Look how wrong you can be. My honey bee Why are you flyin' so far from me ?

I Wish I Felt Nothing I Wish I Felt Nothing Say when you're alone It's better 'cause nobody knows you When no one's your friend It's better 'cause nobody leaves you So you turned your back On a world that you could never have 'Cause your heart's been cracked And everyone else's is goin' mad But I hear voices And I see colors But I wish I felt nothing Then it might be easy for me Like it is for you Now all of these people Come up from deep holes Pullin' you down And it's just no use When all the abuse follows you down By the morning you've gone Leavin' me here all alone Sayin' it's no mystery I know that nobody here needs me And I know you believe that you and me don't belong here And the worst we could do Is keep trying to pretend we care...

Invisible City Invisible City Lookin' back at the crash site I don't see me by the roadside Well this heart is on wheels tonight Straight through the ghettos And without lights Now every heart has a blind side Where it learns how to improvise Well this place is a whorehouse tonight Cheaper lovers make expensive wives But all of these horses That you chase around In the end they are the ones That always bring you down This invisible city Where no one sees nothing We're touching faces in the dark Feelin' pretty is so hard Now all of these voices And all of these noises With all their illusions of choices They've come to my door With one dozen roses The imitation of good faith Is how you stumble upon hate It may have been the first of mistakes When we held on too loosely Then opened the gates Now I try not to tell lies But there's pressures from inside So I've learned how to compromise Good people for alibis...

Josephine Josephine I feel pretty good I feel all right And I've been thinkin' maybe I could spend the night I know you've been sad I know I've been bad But if you'd let me Make you ribbons from a paper bag Josephine You're so good to me And I know It ain't easy Josephine You're so sweet You must taste just like sugar & tangerines I won't make a sound Sleep on the ground When you wake I will Drive you into town I missed your smile Your schoolgirl style But I never had much fun Maybe the very first mile Don't you know I watched you walkin' home from school Your friends on the old playgrounds You never looked so down Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine? I've disconnected my heart And cut myself on the wires Josephine I know I was wrong I knew all along But I got so far from my home I never thought I'd be so lonesome... The Wallflowers |
Laughing Out Loud Laughing Out Loud Man, you oughta finish what you've started You can't leave me here alive Well I know it started as a fist fight But you've got me covered up in hives I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree But when all this indecision reigns So aimlessness that helps me see straight You got me walkin' up a tightrope With vaseline from my head to my feet You got me lookin' into blindfolds But I know you've got your hands all over me So when all these imitations fail Just don't look back 'cause I won't be there Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you push me around Well I'm doing time inside a grapevine Little things amuse little minds Well, nothin's free except a little bit of bad advice On how to live on only water, bread and rice I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree So when all this nighttime vision fails I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail...

One Headlight One Headlight So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me & Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left She hit the end-it's just her window ledge Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killin' me...

Shy Of The Moon Shy Of The Moon Pretty little girl on the side of the road Yellow hair in a yellow bow Little thumb sticking in the exit lane Two packs of smokes and a candy cane With women hips and baby lips A Hallelujah book in the back of a pillow-slip. If she gets out of here too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the moon. If she's been havin' the same old dreams, Of lullabies and pale blue skies Fallen asleep beneath the stars, Orion aims and shoots his arrows oh so far Aims 'em hard, He shoots the moon and takes her as his own reward. If she's gonna see those stars too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the moon. If she found out so long ago That she wants more than all she knows The river ends right as she goes, Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow, She's below, But I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe. She's gonna shine just like brand new, She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon... The Wallflowers |
Sidewalk Annie Sidewalk Annie She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe. It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight. Well, Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone, Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone. The howlin' winds could never care what she liked, Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger In The Night It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf, The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof. Well, Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone, Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone Little girl in your white ice skates, We've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates, With a hand on your hip and the other one on your head, You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead. Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone. Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone. Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well And blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she could, she could sell. Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone. Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone... The Wallflowers |
Somebody Else's Money Somebody Else's Money We can buy that mansion on the hill, We'll fill it up until it's filled. We'll buy a big black Cadillac And we'll keep an extra one in the back. We'll sit home just listening To the sounds of the winds when they're breaking And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We can buy you that flower garden With every rose that's ever risen. With a blanket and a safety pin We'll keep away all the boogie men. And we can buy you that swing Swing through the skies openings And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We can tattoo nickels on our skin, We'll drain our veins and put honey in. We'll buy new fingers two times ten, We'll even put pennies in our chins. We'll buy a silver set of wings, Lay 'em on our backs for the winds And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We'll crash in on the neighbors wedding, We'll steal the cake and go running. You'll head straight for the jewelry And I'll steal the money like a lottery. We'll buy a set of legs just for walking, And another set of tongues for when we're small talking, Another set of lips for being obscene And another set of heads for Halloween. And we can buy you that swing To swing through the skies openings. We can buy that diamond ring, Just about any other thing, With somebody else's money. We can buy babies for the babies, We'll give them both big red ponies. They'll live in that mansion on the hill That we'll keep on fillin' until it's filled. We'll watch the neighbors fatten up with greed Watching us buying everything we don't need I know they're listening Through a telescope from across the street Watching us fillin' up the bathtubs with sweets Money, money, money. Money on the floor put money in the beds Put money in the drains Money coming out of our heads, Money, money, money. We can kill many a dirty man Work by the church when they bring us in. We can buy anything Because there's always something That's so funny about spending Somebody else's money... The Wallflowers |
