Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

 

[PastaJoe]

I come home one particular evening
The landlady said you got the rent money yet?
I said no, can't find no job
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent
She said I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day
She said that don't confront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went

[Bill from NYC]

Payments overdue
So all my welfare just went
Gone and caught the flu
And now the man wants the rent

Friends seem to stay the same
(Friends all stayin' the same, y'all)
We've gotta make it change
(Got to make it change, y'all)

So I'll send out for sunshine (Get that glow)
Put a smile on my face, spread it around the place (Send out for the sun)
Send out for sunshine (Let it flow)
Get that good ol' sun on the case

[muppy]

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

[Gugny]

Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song
It's all I own
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around

[muppy]

Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
 

[WhoTom]

When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it told me, it made me sad sad sad

[Just Jack]

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

[muppy]

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Oh, what you lost

[PastaJoe]

Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

[WhoTom]

Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away
Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
You better stop that laser game
Or you'll smell my mule

 

[muppy]

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[WhoTom]

You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

[muppy]

It’s hard enough to find the time to sleep
It’s easier to find the time to dream
Another night spent too far from the stars
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
 

[PastaJoe]

Give me just another night, just another night with you
Give me just another kiss, just before the dawn breaks through
'Cause I'm homesick, feel a little down and blue
And I'm hurting, hurting baby just like you

[muppy]

Day after day I'm more confused
but I look for the light through the pouring rain
you know thats a game that I hate to lose
i'm feeling the strain
ain't it a shame

Give me the beat boys
and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll
and drift away

Day after day, alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

[WhoTom]

Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin

[cwater10]

Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

[muppy]

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?
