(I Cant Get No) Satisfaction
I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION
I CAN'T GET ME NO SATISFACTION
AND I TRY AND I TRY AND I TRY T-T-T-T-TRY TRY
I CAN'T GET NO I CAN'T GET ME NO

SUPPOSED TO FIRE MY IMAGINATION
I CAN'T GET NO UH NO NO NO
HEY HEY HEY THAT'S WHAT I SAY
I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION

BUT HE CAN'T BE A MAN 'CAUSE HE DOES NOT SMOKE
THE SAME CIGARETTES AS ME
AND WHEN I'M FLYING AROUND THE WORLD
AND I'M DOIN' THIS AND I'M TRYIN' DO THAT
AND I'M TRYING TO MAKE SOME GIRL
TELLS ME BABY BETTER COME BACK LATER NEXT WEEK

Praying Hands
i heard a girl from l.a.
say she'd go all the way
i heard there's no reason why
i heard that now's the time to buy
on planet earth
i'll probably stay
on planet earth
it's a place to live your life
where pleasure follows pain
people go insane
fly around in plane
pray that it won't rain
drive around in cars
get drunk in local bars
dream of being stars
well i lived all my life on planet earth
i heard a girl from san francisco
say her boyfriend ate her hole
i saw her try to catch a man
things i couldn't understand
i saw a man on a stage
scream "put me back in my cage"
i saw him hang by his tie
i saw enough to make me cry
on planet earth
(i lived all my life)
say she'd go all the way
i heard there's no reason why
i heard that now's the time to buy
on planet earth
i'll probably stay
on planet earth
it's a place to live your life
where pleasure follows pain
people go insane
fly around in plane
pray that it won't rain
drive around in cars
get drunk in local bars
dream of being stars
well i lived all my life on planet earth
i heard a girl from san francisco
say her boyfriend ate her hole
i saw her try to catch a man
things i couldn't understand
i saw a man on a stage
scream "put me back in my cage"
i saw him hang by his tie
i saw enough to make me cry
on planet earth
(i lived all my life)

Space Junk
my baby took our love
and then she rolled it up
rolled it up a hill
like a ball of show
like a showball grows
until it gets too big
until she lost control
and it rolled back down
she took a tiny bit
and rolled it up again
slower than before
she went a step too far
she had to let it go
i saw it go straight down
my baby turned around
started up again
eyes were made for looking'
hands were made for holdin'
hearts were made for lovin'
lips were made for kissin'
legs were made for walkin'
tracks were made to follow
that's what i'm gonna do
two tracks in the show
two tracks up that hill
my heart broke
when my baby left two tracks behind
and then she rolled it up
rolled it up a hill
like a ball of show
like a showball grows
until it gets too big
until she lost control
and it rolled back down
she took a tiny bit
and rolled it up again
slower than before
she went a step too far
she had to let it go
i saw it go straight down
my baby turned around
started up again
eyes were made for looking'
hands were made for holdin'
hearts were made for lovin'
lips were made for kissin'
legs were made for walkin'
tracks were made to follow
that's what i'm gonna do
two tracks in the show
two tracks up that hill
my heart broke

If, you were right here with me,
I would want you to see
That without you girl,
There would be no one else in this world.
Ohh if, you would only take my hand
And try to understand
That you're the only one
That I would want to be my girl.
And all I do, is think of you
Cause the feelings I have are so true
Each day I will when I can say
That I love you.
CHORUS
**************************************
Cause girl it's you,
That I've been wanting all my life
And girl you know that its right
When I looked into your eyes I knew
That I give my heart to you
Girl it's you.
**************************************
And ohh girl, I thought about you endlessly
That's the way it should always be
Can't you understand I want to be your man
For all time...
Forever girl, I'll be right here
My thoughts of you will never disappear
You'll always stay within my heart
For all eternity...
Repeat CHORUS
As fast as it may seem
I'm tired of hiding all my hopes and dreams
Girl, there's no other way
And I wait for the day
That I can feel your lips
Girl it's you,
That I've been wanting all my life
And girl you know that its right
When I looked into your eyes I knew
That I give my heart to you
I just wanna give my heart to you
I wanted all my life
And girl you know that it's right
Cause when I looked into your eyes I knew
That I'd give my heart to you
I knew I'd give my heart to you
Girl it's you.
I would want you to see
That without you girl,
There would be no one else in this world.
Ohh if, you would only take my hand
And try to understand
That you're the only one
That I would want to be my girl.
And all I do, is think of you
Cause the feelings I have are so true
Each day I will when I can say
That I love you.

Too Much Paranoias
THINK I GOT YOUR DIAL TONE
THINK I GOT BILLY BAXTER'S BONE
THINK I GOT A BUBBLE-SAC
THINK I GOT A BIG MAC ATTACK
HOLD THE PICKLES HOLD THE LETTUCE
SPECIAL ORDERS DON'T UPSET US
ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU LET US
SERVE IT YOUR WAY
TOO MUCH PARANOIAS
MY MOMMA'S AFRAID TO TELL ME
THE THINGS SHE'S AFRAID OF
I BEEN DIPPED IN DOUBLE MEANING
I BEEN STUCK WITH STATIC CLING
THINK I GOT A RUPTO-PAC
THINK I GOT A BIG MAC ATTACK
THINK I GOT BILLY BAXTER'S BONE
THINK I GOT A BUBBLE-SAC

Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin')
I saw my baby yesterday
She spent her money on a car
I didn't get her very far
So my baby said to me
You know my baby she
Said sloppy
I think I missed the hole
She spent her money on a car
I didn't get her very far
So my baby said to me
You know my baby she
Said sloppy
I think I missed the hole

Shrivel-Up
Shrivel-up
Well it's a god-given fact (that
You can't go back)
It's a god-given law that
You're gonna lose your maw
It's a god-given fact you gotta
Buy 'em by the sack
It's a god-given law that
You're gonna get small
May be just another rap but
You're running out of sap
Well you better take the rap
Dying under daddy's cap
It's at the top of the list
That you can't get pissed
It's rule number one living right isn't fun
Time-tested and true you
Gotta pooty poo-poo
Well it's a god-given fact (that
You can't go back)
It's a god-given law that
You're gonna lose your maw
It's a god-given fact you gotta
Buy 'em by the sack
It's a god-given law that
You're gonna get small
May be just another rap but
You're running out of sap
Well you better take the rap
Dying under daddy's cap
