"Sugar Mama"

My friend don't have to work if he don't wanna
Sugar mama, sugar mama
He stays out at late at night till the sunshine comes
Sugar mama, sugar mama

He used to be depressed nearly a suicider
Now my buddy, he's a real free rider

Sugar mama, sugar mama

It doesn't matter if the cops are comin'
Sugar mama, sugar mama
She'll shell out thousands of dollars for him
Sugar mama, sugar mama

He used be worried about buying booze
Now he lends me money for my baby's shoes

Sugar mama, sugar mama

He used to be depressed nearly a suicider
Now my buddy, he's a real free rider

Sugar mama, sugar mama
Sugar mama, sugar mama

"Tattoo"

She hit him in the mouth
She knocked him to the ground
Some smart cop said, "I'd take you to jail
If it was the other way around"

She stole his wallet
Out of his jeans
She said, "Hey just don't bother me
It was mine from the beginning"

All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo

She had two kids
Bouncing on his bed
One yelled, "Hey that's my mom"
The other one "fix the Nintendo wire, I said"

"You wanna (little) cab"
She said, "No way
You're not gonna go or else
I tell you with the fist you'll play"

All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo

Yeah, you're goin' down boy
Yeah, you're goin' down boy

All she ever really wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo
All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo

Can I can I can I can I catch a cab
Can I can I can I can I...

"Rockstars on H"

Rockstars on heroin
Who's to blame for letting them in
They were cool when they were poor
Now they're just rich spoiled druggies on horse
Rockstars on heroin

Rockstars on heroin
They quit their jobs for rock stardom
They're so wasted they can't play at all
Just what I need, some more winner role models
Rockstars on heroin

It must be tough to be rich and famous
Big and blameless, pushed by your record company
Get your name in Billboard
Receive awards while nearly O.D.-ing overseas

Rockstars on heroin
Paying the price for rock stardom
All the chicks keep screaming for more
Listen to me roar
Rockstars on heroin

Rockstars on heroin
Who's to blame for letting them win
They were cool when they were broke
Now they're just rich spoiled druggies on dope
Rockstars on heroin

It must be tough to be rich and famous
It must be tough to be big and blameless
Rockstars on heroin

"Transistor Sister"

Don't close your eyes or you'll miss her
Just open wide and make a wish, sir
Try not to get her mad, mister
She'll split you with a Rickenbacker in the kisser

She's the rock in the roll
She's the white in the trash
She's the black in the coal

This type of diva is a real show giver
She loves to climb into your liver
Straight hair down straight like a river
When she leans down to mess with it, bam
you're gonna get a kicker

She's the rock in the roll
She's the white in the trash
She's the black in the coal

"Light My Fuse"

Tried to own the world and got
Into owing the world a lot
Tried to get back where I was
When you're this gone no one does

Tried to find myself a friend
But no one wandered in
Tried to leap without a fight
Tried to drive without a ...

Light my fuse and I'll be yours
Push my mind you'll see those doors
You'll fly
Goodbye

Tried to drink up when I could
Tried to walk in Hollywood
Some perverted rich stopped by
With his pants down asking if I
Would mind being a ride
And it was tough getting money for the night
Smoking cigarettes without a ...

Light my fuse and I'll be yours
Push my mind you'll see those doors
You'll fly
Goodbye

"Burnin' on Fire"

She's on fire
She's burnin' on fire
She's on fire
She's burnin' on fire
She's on fire
She's burnin' on fire
She's on fire
She's burnin' on fire

I'm on fire
I'm burnin' on fire
I'm on fire
I'm burnin' on fire
I'm on fire
I'm burnin' on fire
I'm on fire
I'm burnin' on fire

And everyone is willing
When the guts are spillin' Dylan
Come on take it all right now
Come on take it all right now
And things get kind of frantic
When you've turned into fanatics
We're all pushed up into a tall wall
Wonderin' when you gonna take that long fall

It's on fire
It's burnin' on fire
It's on fire
It's burnin' on fire
It's on fire
It's burnin' on fire
It's on fire

"Bad Check"

Wrote a bad check to the government
Wrote a bad check to my parents
Wrote a bad check to this cello player
She didn't know it at the time 'cause I'm singin' it later

Sometimes I wish those shiny red lights on cop cars
were just big bright cherries
I wanna bowl
I wanna knock down some pins

Sometimes I wish those shiny red lights on cop cars
were just big bright cherries
I wanna bowl, I wanna bowl
I wanna knock down some pins
I wanna knock down some pins

"Milk & Peas"

Baby had a bad dream
Barney came to the rescue
He was on top
Jesus was there, too
He had angels flyin' out of His eyes

Daddy lost his job
Mother got a tumor
Daddy's goin' to jail
Mother heard a rumour

Don't it make you want to drink your milk?
Don't it make you want to eat your peas?

Daddy sold a painting though he doesn't know how to draw
His friends are cool
Sometimes they run when they see him comin'
He's always tryin' to sell them somethin' new

Daddy's losin' his mind
Mother says she's getting wrinkles
Daddy smells like wine
Mother's gonna break his ankles

Don't it make you want to drink your milk?
Don't it make you want to eat your peas?

"Super Girl"

Super girl, super girl

She knows everything that you need
You never have to beg or say please
She tries everything before it's in
She wants you to just begin to curl

Super girl, super girl

She never gets too jealous
She never gets too mad
You could be good or bad
She loves you, boy

Super girl, super girl

Super duper
Super fantastic
Simply the best
Super duper
Like a great big sunshine

She doesn't like diamonds and pearls

Super girl, super girl

"Everything"

you're the one i love
you're the one i hate
could drop me into hell
or let me in your gate
you're that shinny lip
that keeps me hanging 'round
you're the honest girl
that brings me down
you're everything
you're a dream come true
you're a dog named spot
you're that funny joke
that i never got
you're a heroine
and a movie star
you're the drunken hag
in a white trash bar
you're everything
you're a gift from god
you're a demon's rage
you're a trip i took
you are the torn out page
you're filled with joy
from all the things you've learned
you're the obvious
you're that unknown turn
you're everything

"Am I Winnin' Somethin'"

The IRS levied my account
You know they only got four bucks out
Am I winnin' somethin'

I lost my license last year in Vegas
You know I haven't been pulled over since
Am I winnin' somethin'

Am I winnin' somethin'

Bill collector calls wouldn't leave me alone
Then Pacific Bell shut off the telephone
Am I winnin' somethin'

Accountant says to file for bankruptcy
I won't have to pay back the lost money
Am I winnin' somethin'

Am I winnin' somethin'

"Too Long'"

I think it's been too long
Since I've sold you a song
You say it was just yesterday
When you paid me too much money
And you don't think it's very funny
You're still waiting for the return

But I think it's been too long
Since I sold you a song

Now it could be a song about the government
I don't know much about it
Sometimes when you lose you win
Sometimes when you win you lose
Sometimes when you just don't care
The government still seems to get somewhere

It could be a song about my hair
Hey honey could you go to the mall
Pick me up a bottle of Ms. Clairol
Grey since I was 12
Fell off the monkey bars at 5
7 years later the color cells died

I think it's been too long
Since I sold you a song

"Denial"

Things are getting better now
I read another verse out loud
All the pain is gone today
This liquid is a healing wave

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling
Cause I feel free with God and a bottle and me

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling
Cause I feel free with God and a bottle and me

I barely feel the weight at all
I'm breaking through this big brick wall
Life is getting so good
Everything is understood, everything is understood

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling
Cause I feel free with God and a bottle and me

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling
Cause I feel free with God and a bottle and me

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling
Cause I feel free with God and a bottle and me

One more drink and heaven could be calling
And I won't care if the sky starts falling...
