"Cat Fever"

"Cat Fever"


Livin' in strange dreams
Takin' prescribed medication
Where will i take me, where will it take me
My vision's all marred by a careless
Chance visit on the part of me

Cat fever, I got cat fever
My breathin is harder sittin in back of the theatre
When will he make
Forgot about fixin the leak in my faucet
What come over me
I'll let my dogs loose prayin' that they
Will protect me
Give me a bullet, one silver bullet
I won't let them get me 'cause those
Demon figures are after me
Cat fever, I got cat fever

"Champion Of The World"

"Champion Of The World"


Well I'm weak,
Worthless,
...can't make up my mind.

When they handed out ambition,
I was next
To last
In line.

...Lost little lamb...
'til I found that girl...

When she holds me in her arms,
I'm the champion of the world.

I was drunk
On Monday,
Standing at the bar,
When somebody said;
"Hey Mister,
Could you help me start my car?"

I wouldn't know a sparkplug
From the Duke Of Earl,

But when I drive home to my baby...
I'm the champion of the world.

People talk

Behind my back:
"How can she stay with a man like that?"

It ain't easy...
But Heaven knows she tries...

Ohh, They never see the sweetness
Of the love there is between us
When she holds my hand
And looks me in the eye.

I'm a creep, I'm a coward...

On my hands and knees I crawl.

I fall apart under pressure,

I've got no back bone at all.

Daddy always told me...
I throw a baseball like a girl,

But when my baby holds me,
I'm the champion of the world.

When my baby holds me, I'm the champion of the world.

"Changin' Luck"

"Changin' Luck"


There's a feelin' in the sky tonight
Tough as nails and I feel the cold wind start to bite
Folks I meet seem so cold
Blown like leaves their faces hard and set in stone
I'd just like to know
Cold and tired, hope all gone
Just how far this road goes on
I'd just like to see
All or nothin', high or low
Just how far this game can go

Plant my feet on foreign soil
No return I crossed that mil some time ago
Cast my eyes on streets that shine
Reflect my image and I know I'm livin' on borrowed time
I'd sure like to feel
Dreams I chased so long ago
Weren't wasted miles on empty roads
I'd just like to believe
All these desperate cries I hear
Are falling on a sympathetic ear

In world of illusions
All you're left with is your changin' luch
Kisses and tears and unanswered questions
Just a child of chance with your changin' luck
Changin' luck

A song I've heard since I was young
Sounds so sweet on this lonely street, makes me cry
Askin' myself why oh why
I'm such a fool to listen to this deadly kind of lullaby
I'd just like to know
Cold and tired, hope all gone
Just how far this road goes on
I'd just like to see
All or nothin', high or low
Just how far this game can go

In world of illusions
All you're left with is your changin' luch
Kisses and tears and unanswered questions
Just a child of chance with your changin' luck
Changin' luck

"Chinese Work Songs"

"Chinese Work Songs"


Long steady steps down an unlit street
Singing chinese work songs in my head
Slow deep breaths promise and hope
But for some it's just the thrill
Get your kicks that's part of the problem
No solution a bottomless pit
High minded purposes pitched against knives and pistols
Some revolution
Nothing but people
Power to the people
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs...work work work

Well read and well meaning
So tan and delightful
A true measure of health
That's how I view myself this morning
But it's late and the lights guide me to the corner
Blinding lights and noises from the street
But it can't obliterate the chinese works songs
Just the strange landscape
Worn phrases and familiar faces that's got me
Humming to myself singing softly to myself
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs...work work work

Chinese work songs humming like a telephone wire
All up in my american head
I want to be ready
Ready to go that's all I know
Another beauty contest
Sliced up on a platter for immediate digestion
Coughing treason slighted by truth's own tunnel
Man it'll getcha you every time
Don't worry be whatever
Just suffer through a few more delusions
And take small satisfaction
Of the songs in your head
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs
Chinese work songs...work work work

"Church Falling Down"

"Church Falling Down"


Loss of the spirit followed loss of the heart
Ashes were scattered and drifted apart
A heart that is lost can never be the same
When love turns to hurt and hurt turns to blame

There’s a church falling down
A church falling down
Sacred secrets spoken out loud
There’s a church falling down
It ain’t right

Sister, mama, lover, little child
I’m so sick and sorry now
Oaths from the altar, memories won
Mysteries and natures coming undone

There’s a church falling down
A church falling down
Something holy thrown down on the ground
There’s a church falling down
It ain’t right

Well, you warned me and I heard you
But I didn’t hear you right
I was wounded and wailing
Lost from the light
The promises and omens
Turned out all the same
When love turned to hurt and
Hurt turned to blame

There’s a church falling down
A church falling down
Abandoned, forsaken, left out in the rain
There’s a church falling down
It ain’t right

"Clownin'"

"Clownin'"


Now you got the style attitude so well and proper
Your etiquette's a cut above the rest
You got the kind of walk sets them heads a turnin'
My heart's burnin' yearnin' for your best
How 'bout for a while ya give this boy a tumble
Do the rhumba you know what I mean
Ya throw me a smile something to remember just one time
I'm down here on my knees

Won't you please stop your teasin'
Ya know you got no reason
To be clownin' with my heart
Can't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruin
Got me drownin' no it's tearin' me apart
Before I'd ever let you see me cryin'
I'd eat boiled owl, girl if I'm lyin I'm dyin' - I'm gonna walk

Well you set that choir on fire every Sunday mornin'
The way you sashay into church
All the brothers and the sisters down in that amen corner
Roll their eyes in disbelief at your short skirts
Oh man, you shook their chakras
You got their zodiacs so outta whack
It's apocalypse now and it's all your fault
I ain't runnin' scared, no I won't hide my eyes
I'm on you like a cowboy on a mail order bride

So won't you please stop your teasin'
Ya know you got no reason
To be clownin' with my heart
Can't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruin
Got me drownin' no it's tearin' me apart
Before I'd ever let you see me cryin'
Tar and feather me, babe, if I'm lyin I'm dyin' - I'm gonna walk

Won't you please stop your teasin'
Ya know you got no reason
To be clownin' with my heart
Can't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruin
Got me drownin' no it's tearin' me apart
Before I'd ever let you see me cryin'
I'd eat boiled owl, girl if I'm lyin I'm dyin' - I'm gonna walk

"Cold Cold Cold"

"Cold Cold Cold"


Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
Freezing, it was freezing in that hotel
I had no money, my special friend was gone
The TV set was busted so she went along
I called room, room service,
I'm down here on my knees
A peach or a pear, or a coconut please,
But they was cold

Well it's been a month since I seen my girl
Or a dime to make the call
'Cause it passed me up, or it passed me by,
Or I couldn't decide at all
And I'm mixed up, I'm so mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
And I wish the world would get off of my case
And get on one of its own

Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
That woman was freezing, freezing cold
Well I tried everything to warm her up
Now I'm living in this cold hotel
'Cause she passed me, up or she passed me by,
Or I couldn't decide at all
Oh I'm mixed up, yes I'm mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
Of all the things I had to do
I had to fall in love
You know she's cold

Turn your clock back woman when you see me comin' round
My feet don't, feet don't even touch the ground
Don't be cold, don't be cold
Don't be cold, don't be cold

"Corazones Y Sombras"

"Corazones Y Sombras"


Sheets poppin' in the wind
Me and mama hanging laundry
Hey what's that noise something's coming our way

Oh mama it's a big band of scarecrows
Oh mama can we follow them down
I see you dancin'
I know you want to go
I want to, too
!Vamanos m'ijo!

El tiempo 'sta bueno pa' la fiesta y no podemos esperar
Florecitas parecen caerse del cielo
Hay musica, bebida y comida para alegrar las almas
Cantaremos y bailaremos hasta el amanecer
A partir de hoy siempre recordaremos
Este dia de corazones y sombras

[Translation:]
The time's good for a fiesta and we just can't wait
Little flowers seem to fall from the sky
There's music, drink, and food to cheer up our spirits
We'll sing and dance until the dawn
From this day on we'll always remember
This day of hearts and shadows

The ceiling fan in the jailhouse
It can spin no slower
He lays on his back with his hand on the wall
His thoughts float out the window
To the fiesta
To an innocent time before he was down by law

Oh jailer
Can't you hear them singing
Oh jailer
Please have mercy on me
The girls are laughing
And the children they play
Let me view from the window
Before the light slips away

La luz del dia pasa a la noche
Los amantes se deslizan
A las sombras
Siluetas abrazadas se entregan corazones de papel
Unos momentos viven entre las estrellas
Estos angeles con corazones
De polvo y rosas
Y con el alba se regresan a la tierra sus sueños realizados
Y por eso, siempre recordaremos
Este dia de corazones y sombras

[Translation:]
The light of day passes into night
The lovers slide away
Into the shadows
Embraced silhouettes surrender their paper hearts
For moments they live among the stars
These angels with hearts
Of dust and roses
And with the dawn they return to earth their dreams fulfilled
And that is why we will always remember
This day of hearts and shadows

The shadows grow longer
At the Teatro del Sueño
It's been many years since the movies and plays
But the sound of the music, the magic of twilight
Has stopped even time
On this day of all days

The dust from the curtains
Sparkles like diamonds
As it falls through the sunlight
On this day of all days

!Vamanos, recio!
!echale ganas, ñiero!
!No se me apachurres, que llevo vuelo!
!Chata color de llanta, aqui esta tu rin cromado!
!Vamanos, potrillo!
!Cuaco! !Macho!
!Con mas ganas, gallo!
!Aja!
!El que no vino a bailar, vino a estorbar!

[Translation:]
Let's pick it up!
Get into it, friend!
Can't keep me down, I'm on a roll!
Flat-nose girl, color of a tire, I'm your chrome rim!
Giddap, colt!
Cuaco! Macho!
With more feeling, singer!
Ah ha!
If you didn't come to dance, you came to get in the way!

"Crack In Your Door"

"Crack In Your Door"


I don't even know what I did wrong
But her old man said if I didn't get out of town
I might not live too long
And I can still see her mother with her hair up in rolls
As she cast a telling glance at that young girl's red hot eyes
Sometimes I think I could lose
All my troubles but here I stand
They're trying to cure me with nicotine and whiskey
Watching their faces passing me by

And I've been holding out my hand
Waiting for love to come at my command
But the glow from around my head is gone
And if I don't get a ride real soon
I might be dead in the ground

Sometimes I think I could lose
All my troubles but here I stand
They're trying to cure me with nicotine and whiskey
Watching their faces passing me by

There's no need to follow
Look into the eyes of this wandering stranger
I won't rob or steal your money
So don't let the wind through the crack in your door
Don't let the wind through the crack in your door

"Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie"

"Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie"


Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie
Growled out his commands
And all the able seamen
Clicked their heels and swore
They would protect the noble ship
In peace-time and in war

And they danced a jig until the dawn
Sang a loyal sailors song
Drank a pot of steaming rum
Did all the things that loyal sailors do

Captain Bill expressed great glee
All the things that he had planned
Were made to go his way
All the fares he had collected and salted away
Made his lips turn in a smile

Just then Luke the rat from down below
Called to Gunboat Bill
He said
Listen to those madmen wail
They've been at sea for ninety days
Without the sight of land
No it doesn't look so good to me
No it doesn't look so good at all

The captain pondered what the rat had said
Until he could think of nothing more
Then he threw his crew into the foaming sea
At least a thousand miles from shore

And he danced a jig until the dawn
Sang a loyal captain's song
Drank a pot of steaming rum
Did all the things that loyal captains do

The rat looked hard at Gunboat Bill
And he said in a serious style
As he leapt into the water
Don't believe, no don't believe
Don't believe everything that you hear
