The devil's smiling at me

Give him an inch, and he'll be working for free

He's got his claws into you,

Now he's working on me, something for you to rot into...

 

Rubber fungus, rotting me

Bouncing back I can't get free                                          ---> Chorus

Rubber fungus, rubber rot away

 

Give me something to sing about

Give me something to dig into you about                      ---> 2nd Chorus

Give me something to sing about

Tell me what it takes to figure you out

 

You've almost figured me out

You're fungus stench'll give them something to talk about

Keep on spreadin' around

Just remember to keep your unsteady feet on the ground

 

Chorus

2nd Chorus

2nd Chorus

 

 

 

I've begun to float

Yet my feet still touch cement.

The clouds turn purple in the sky

This aroma heaven sent

Oh, my sapphire eyes are clearing

And now I see the crowds don't always race

I smile at them as they waltz through this endless dancing space

 

Oh, I must be dreaming    (Repeat until end of riff)

 

I've got nothing to wait for

I'll keep longing for music to dance for                        ---> Chorus

But when the music stops...

 

Looking down, my rotting sneakers seem to change their hue

They transform through this hazy mist

To a Cinderella shoe

My long blonde locks begin to dance

To the wind's laughing song

As my life of worries strips away

I begin to laugh along

 

Oh, I must be dreaming   (Repeat until end of riff)

 

Chorus

 

(Solo)

 

Chorus

 

 

 

She watches gracelessly

Through smoky hazel eyes

Never wondered

How one could soar so high

 

No dreams were made to dream

No dreams were made to try

To give means to fly

Give means to fly

Give means to fly

 

He left a love lived through the night

Held on too tight

Lost, but now he sees

He'll never know what's right

 

All dreams were dreamt and gone

There's nothing left to try

To give means to fly

Give means to fly

Give means to fly

 

How can you aspire?

If you don't even try?

Only sleep to dream

Or let your life pass you by

Fly

 

 

 

Here's lookin' at you

Mirrored bottom of the bottle won't tell you the truth

Throw the dice, twin the lies

You ain't never won a round with a couple of snake eyes

With a tune in your ear, but no song in your head,

What's the use in makin' money when you're almost dead?

Sleepin' on the sidewalk, watchin' the scene,

A broken bottle beside you, spilling broken dreams

They laugh, they point, but they can kiss your ass,

You're still livin' your dream, cuz you're rockin' in Vegas!

Rockin' in Vegas!

 

Black jack's trying to stare you down,

Give him a wink, and take him out on the town.

'Cause you've got your rock, now you've gotta roll

All those years of never working are now takin' their toll

Hats off to you, now your hat's out to them,

They're gonna hear you rock, and they'll throw themselves in...

Why? Cuz you're rockin' in Vegas!

Rockin' in Vegas!

 

 

 

One day, I was drivin', in my automobile.

The sun shining bright, a warmth just too good to feel.

When I heard a lonely, squeaky kind of shout

And I saw a tiny green thumb stickin' out

My tires were squealin' and my mind was reelin'

As my car had hit the bump

I ran out fast, and I saw his eyes...

And my heart started to... beat really really fast!

 

I knew from the moment I saw him

His little beady eyes were speakin' worlds to me from endless skies

He came toward me in his slow kind of way

He stretched his little stub to me and asked me 'Would you marry me?"

It was love...

Turtle Lovin'.

 

Well me and Seward the turtle,

We loved for 3 years but you see, this union wasn't meant to be

He felt he had to swim each day

He left one morning early on, but evenming comes and he's still gone

Where's my love?

Turtle Lovin'.

 

I left that night to find why Seward wasn't back

I went 3 steps and I stopped dead in my tracks

He was laying where I met him, on the side of the road

I ran to see him, but I knew as I flew,

He wouldn't wake to see me, and I found it was true

Seward was hit by a giant bus from school

So here's my advice to you

Beware of....

Turtle Lovin'.

 

 

 

I've got so much to give inside, and not so much to lose

I've seen the rainbows colour your skin, all the yellows, greens and blues

I could turn you round and round and round, and never cease the searching

For the colours

Of your colourless mind

 

I've been searching for so long for what you fear to show me

The outside's started to sink in, but much, much too slowly

The white-washed walls inside your head could blind but any rainbow,

You're so colourless

Colourless mind

 

Ha-na-na-ay

All the colours reaching deep inside

Ha-na-na-ay

I've tried to reach down into you                       ---> Chorus

Can't find a way

To your colourless

Colourless mind

 

You shine your rays across a crowd, but leave them blank and broken

I can see your eyes so clear and dark, a desperate plea unspoken,

If I could only reach inside, I'd paint your soul a picture,

You're so colourless

Colourless mind

 

Chorus x 2
