Waitin For The Lightning To Strike

Party Maker

[Andi Deris / Alfred Koffler]. . Listen I'd like to tell you a story. How to get from low to high. To get to a hundred from zero. I'm talking 'bout a man sleeping.

I Walk Alone

I walk a crooked twisting path. That seems to be landing nowhere. I lead a loner's life. Not what I meant to do. I do what seemed to be. the right thing at one time.

I Used To

I used to want you. Now I want to make you nervous. Now I want to make you hate. Now I want to make you crazy. So that we can still relate. And we could get drunk all night.

Parasite

[Andi Deris]. . I'll take your body. I'll beat in your heart. So never turn up your cards. Else I'll own your honey. Since I'm wearing your shoes. I'm blessed but that's the truth.

One Time Is Not Enough

Waking in the morning. And I stare at the wall. Now my angel has seen through my sins. Thinking about my life. When I was going insane. Well I guess now I can take the pain.

I Am The Stranger

I'm glad you taught your kids my name. They scream it as they run away. They say it's getting worse out there. Let me welcome you to the climate of fear.

One Step Into Paradise

[Andi Deris]. . It's the night I'll be with you. Lovely to see you , lovely to hear you. You're TV-acting pulls me through. Side by side I dreamt to be with you.

Homesick Hopes

No one wants to hear his story. ANother boring kid in town again. Who stares at photograpghs. Of far away friends. Frustrated, he can't think clear. His aspirations seem sincere but how.

My Sharona

[The Knacks cover]. . Come on!. Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one. When you gonna give me some time, Sharona. Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run.

Monday Again

I spent my weekend blasted. out of my head. 5:30 Monday morning. get out of my bed. old lady's out in the kitchen. bitchin' till I go insane. yes it's Monday, Monday again.

High Maintenance

I stroked your ego with a lubricant. Until you stand erect. Instead of your limp guilt trips. You should have come with a warantee. Cause talk is cheap.

Police Carr

Hey Now

Hey now I'm laughing at you. 'cause you're stomping around,. You want everyone to know that you're feeling down.. Did you have a bad day?. Did you have a bad day?.

Livin' My Life For You

Glossary [from Carry The Banner]

Bunk on your ears: sleep on the floor without covering. Carry the Banner: walk the streets. Day olds: stale bakery goods. Fishing: stealing with a stick and hook.

Future Daydream

Now Now I want to see. All the skyscrapers and the factories. Crumble down to the ground and we'll go walk around. And pick through the wreckage scattered in the streets..

Funeral

At your funeral. Things will be different. I will feel so good. . I'll pass out cigars. Bring a big ol' cake. And a keg, yes!. I can hardly, I can hardly wait.
