Whenever I get home I put on my Chinese suit And dance on over to you Because when I walk alone the sidewalk is cold as stone And I never been one for doing what I'm told So roll over Lola Roll over me Roll over Lola While the leaves fall from the trees I refuse, I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to refuse you I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to refuse the things you do Because when we walk alone the sidewalk is as good as gold And we never been ones for doing what we're told So roll over Lola Roll over me Roll over Lola While the leaves fall from the trees

Well worries come looking for me in my bed I shut up my mind, I sleep in my head Because troubles come always and lay at my feet Without all these troubles my life would be sweet I lived on that mountain you try to call home] I smoked pure psychosis straight to my dome So when you are writing your masterpiece Don't forget about the holy and the endless mother sea Oo la la la Old Moses he knows this and he knows something else The machines in your heart they are aching to yell But a slow night of nothing and no one and vice Brings a morning of hail, of cold sleet & ice So bring me the sun when you're feeling undone I'll dance with the butchers and I'll sing with the nuns Don't tell me no lies and I'll tell you plain truth Your cognac and lives are tools of the spooks Oo la la la Well you can't tell my fictions are my only facts Don't tell me my problems I won't tell you how to act And I never said I was the gentle kind I love my cheap beer, but I won't drink your wine

Will Be 04:17
We'll be truthful, we'll be smiling We'll be rivers on an island We'll be patient, we'll be sweet We'll be vegetables then we'll be meat I got a sad face on my shoulders A little sadder every year it gets older I got a sad face on my shoulders I got a blue voice, that's getting bolder So señor, mira aqui I don't know what's happened to me Oh señor, have mercy please I only believe in what I can't see I was born again in the year 2010 Now you're telling me it ain't that easy But if armageddon is near I ain't gonna shave my beard Cuz I wanna look just like Jesus Me and St. Stephen We drink til we get even Then we just sit around and grin So señor, mira aqui I don't know what's happened to me Oh señor, have mercy please I only believe in what I can't see We'll be truthful, we'll be smiling We'll be rivers on an island We'll be patient, we'll be sweet We'll be vegetables then we'll be meat

Won't Be 03:26
I been on that lost highway You been in your blooms I was drinking at the baseball game You didn't know what to do I was on the last raft boat You been swimming in the moat That's where you made all your lizard friends I heard some of them want me dead Keeping you cold like an eskimo Letting you go like the wind must blow I been loving people everyday You been learning how to pray I been wandering through endless nights You been getting into lots of fights I been late since I was born You been lying to the mother moon I been living with my broken ribs You been living out on the skids Keeping you cold like an eskimo Letting you go like the wind must blow

Everyone's ugly, that's what she says Everyone's ugly when they're dead People get ugly in their beds People get lucky when they're dead Then she says its love, love love love Saving you in the end Yes she says its love, love love love It's gonna live on when you're dead There's no good cities, there's no good cities left Yes there no good cities, that's what she says So move on back to your mountains Where you drink your wine from bloody fountains And there's no good people, there's no good people left There's no good people, least that's she said But then she said it's love, love love love Saving you in the end She says it's love, love love love That's gonna live on when you're dead Everyone is friendly back in your hometown Everyone is friendly when you're the class clown But nobody wants to read your poems anymore Even at the parties everyone says lookit that boy, he's such a bore And there's no good words to tell your story They already been used to write the morning in all its glory And there's no good colors, they all been painted away And there's no good flowers They all withering away but what do we say We say it's love, love love love Saving us in the end Yes it's love, love love love My friends That's gonna live on when we're dead
