Smokin' Gun
You're askin' me where I come from.
I said I'm you, and I don't belong
You tell me wipe that smile from my face.
I said I'm here to save the Human Race

I'm the Cold Shot, Armed and Red Hot
I'm the Shadow, I'm the Sun
Don't control me, Rock 'n roll me
Sucker! I'm the Smokin' Gun
Sucker! I'm the Smokin' Gun

You wonder why I'm not in jail
The NRA put up my bail
You see I have some special friends
Who use my means
To get their ends

Brought the King down, Wear my own crown
Passed through Memphis, On the run.
L.A. Hotel, Well I did so well.
Bobby, I'm the Smokin' Gun
Sucker, I'm the Smokin' Gun

I lurk in the shadows nestled warmly in the hands
Of best forgotten People who you'll never understand
And I can give them power to make this your Judgment Day
By flexing just one finger I can blow you all away

You're askin' me where I call home
I lived in Dallas. Stayed near Rome
Down in Cairo did my show
You read the headlines, then you'll know

Lived in D.C., Did you see me
Shootin' up Saint Peter's Son
Ronnie owes me. Yoko knows me
Sucker, I'm the Smokin' Gun
Sucker, I'm the Smokin' Gun
Sucker. . .

Foxy Little Farmland Lady
Foxy Little Farmland Lady far away from furrowed ground
Ran away from Minnesota. Tried to make it undergound
She left to be a Groupie Woman with some Midnight Show Tycoon
Whispered softly on his shoulder, "Play for me another tune"

(Chorus)
Well her heart breaks with every move he makes
She wants to have his love and romance.
And her earth quakes with every breath he takes.
The little girls just don't stand a chance.

In the night light it feels so right and once you get it under your skin
He'll take your soul 'cause his Rock and Roll is a big, big, big,
Big City Sin. Big City

One night her beloved singer. He broke his G-string on the stage
Gassed a big Promotion Agent. Now he is the latest rage
He bought a home in Martha's Vineyard and he drives a big, impressive car
And Foxy Little Farmland Lady, she cries without her Superstar

(Chorus)

Foxy Little Farmland Lady. Sitting on her Front Room floor
She whispers softly to her Radio, "Play for me just once more".

(Chorus)

Something Going Right
You. You could be something new in my life
Repeat

Something's goin' right Something's goin' right
Something's goin' right Somethin's bright
Something's goin' right Somethin's goin' right

Oooh, I love the things you do to my life
Repeat

Somethin' new and bright Somethin's goin' right
Repeat X 3

Everything's all right Everything's fine
Life has been beautiful since you've been mine . . .
Since you've been mine . . .

Who Who was I without you in my life?
Ask you who? Who was I without you In my life?

Before I saw your light. Before I saw your light
Everything's so bright. Everything shines
Life is all sunlight since you've been mine . . .
Since you've been mine . . .

You You could be something new in my life
Repeat

Something's goin' right [Somethin's good in my life]
You could be something new in my . . .
You could be something new in my . . .

School
(Chorus)
School. Leave me in but leave me be
School. Sit me down but set me free
School. How come learning's such a chore?
School. How can life be such a bore?

Sittin' at my idle desk with every head in line
Tell me how does this compare with life?
The Children steal your lunches and the teacher steals your mind
It's such a slick and mischievous device.

[Chorus]

The Pearls of Wisdom drip like honey from between your lips,
The Kissy-Sissies fill their empty cup.
And all the Quizzy-Whizzies ace the Friday Ttst-time trip,
'Cause they're so good at spitting it back up

[Chorus - Musical Bridge - Chorus - Musical Bridge - Chorus]

Call It Love
We danced around the melody. Yeah, we danced around the tune
Your eyes they kept avoiding me as they danced around the room
You can call it madness. You can curse the stars above

(Chorus)
You can call it anything you want to Honey
But you better call it Love
Cause that's what it is
Love Cause that's what it is Love

She glanced around and spoke to me. Said my moves were rather crude
Her eyes were filled with mystery as the music set the mood
You can make it gentle. Let it flutter like a dove
(Chorus)

We danced around the melody. Yeah, we danced around the tune
The candles flickered rhythmically casting shadows in the room
You can call it Magic sent by Heaven from above

(Chorus)

Look At The Bottom
Would you look at that bottom.
I said, Look at that top
You know she's really got 'em
I said, Things are lookin' up
[Repeat all]

Well your mind is in motion.
Your Mama Nature takes hold
And you're true to your emotion
You just cannot get control

You got these Whirling, swirling fantasies of things you've never done.
You've got to think about some innocence some clean and wholesome fun.
You've got to think about what's in her head and think about her mind
Concentrate upon her brain and not on her

Chorus)
Behind you stands a man. Stands a man with a gun
Behind you. Stands a man, well it looks like her husband.
(Oh no!)
Beware, you know he knows you want to have your fun
Take care, he knows you want
To do what he has done to do what he has done
To do what he has . . .

Look at that bottom, I said Look at that top
You know she's really got 'em
I said, things are lookin' up [Repeat all]

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Popsicle Tunes
My Mother used to sing about the virtues of love.
My Father he would tell me she was wrong.
My Sister joined the Krishnas and she chants at the Moon
And my Brother sings his own kind of song

If it was up to me I would change my name and number
If it was up to me I'd a been gone yesterday
But Babe it's You and Me Tryin' to sort out all the answers
Playin' with innocence, and we'll take it all away
Yay . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it

[Chorus]
Popsicle Tunes. Let's spend the night together
We could turn on the Radio
Popsicle Tunes. Then we could find out whether
We both know which way to go

My Mother used to sing of love with stars in her eyes.
My Father saw confusion in his beers.
My Sister peddles incense down at Terminal 9.
And my Brother has a ceiling full of mirrors.

If it was up to me I would move up town to someplace
If it was up to me, But the rent's too high t' pay
And Babe it's You and Me Tryin' to sort out all the madness
Playin' with innocence, And we'll take it all away
Yay . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it
[Chorus]

My Mother moved to Phoenix just to take in the air
My Father moved next door with Betty-Jane
My sister reached Nirvana down at Beautician School
And my Brother flew to Sweden for a change

If it was up to me, I would take a long vacation
If it was up to me, Well I'd pack it all away
And Babe it's You and Me. Tryin' to sort out all the madness
Playin' with innocence. And we'll take it all away
Yay . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it . . . Sing it

[Chorus- to - vamp]

Dead On Arrival
Dead on arrival, when life is not free
Chance of survival in this World just cannot be.
Seems kind of tragic the role that fate decrees
On us lost and lonely people only souls

Hopelessly waiting for life's final blow
How captivating is the Late Night TV Show
Seemed kind of magic 'til you find it just ain't so
For us lost and lonely people only souls

Blues shattered dreams and tear-stained wishes
I view the world with a practiced eye.
And so it seems as each plan misses
I stop wondering why
Wonderin' why, Wonderin why' Wondering' why . . .

Daybreak and day broke, the grinder must be fed
I can't help thinkin' there's two wrong sides on my bed
Got no umbrella and there's rainy days ahead for us
Lost and lonely people only souls

Dead on arrival . . . Dead on arrival . . .Dead on arrival . . .
Ya' can't do a damned thing about it . . . Life goes on . . .
Life goes on . . . Life goes on . . . Life's so long

Born Again
I used to wonder where all the people went when all their time was spent.
But now I know where they have all been sent.
We only thought they went away for good.

But we're all Born Again. Feelin' free.
This is life. Mama, this is Me.
Born Again Feelin' fine.
This is life. Mama, this is Mine . . . My, my Mama, this is Mine . . .

The things that fly and float inside your head.
My, my, you never die. You're never really dead
Oh why you can't recall. Don't even know your name.
Don't cry. Accept it all.It's all part of The Game

And we're all Born Again Feelin' free
This is life. Hey, Mama, this is Me
Oh, Born Again. Yeah I'm Feelin' fine
This is life. Oh, Mama, this is Mine
Mama, this is Mine . . .
Mama . . . Mama . . . Mama . . . This is Mine
