"Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat"

"Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat"



I'll grab the sun and the moon
I'll hold the world in my hand
These things are easy for me
I can't make you understand

Pulling rabbits out of a hat
All I get is polite applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause

Marvel at heaven and hell
Gasp at the Champs-Elysees
Raise the Titanic and then
I see you turning away

Pulling rabbits out of a hat
All I get is polite applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause

Entertaining, that's the word I get from you
Entertaining, and then you bid a fond adieu
Well, adieu

I'll make a pauper a king
I'll turn your water to wine
These things are easy for me
How come I can't change your mind

Pulling rabbits out of a hat
All I get is polite applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause

"Reinforcements"

"Reinforcements"



I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle
You wont tell me why the shrubbery moves
Or why there always has to be subterfusion
You wont even say "at ease"
After waging a costly siege
When a potentate ain't so potent in his state he summons help fast
Unilaterally I withdraw
What was peace is now a grand coup d'etat
The Purple Heart for valour please
And no heart for you Denise
Reinforcements, reinforcements
I could use a strong rear guard
Reinforcements, reinforcements
First the left flank, then the right
I'd sooner work the PX tonight

Spoken: You intercept my S.O.S in order that no
news of my distress will ever reach the
homefront and about my camouflage,
well, it didn't work on you ... in fact most
things they tell recruits never seem to do

Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous
Reinforcements, reinforcements
I don't want a tete-a-tete
Reinforcements, reinforcements
Let's reach accord, and ink a pact
Then, please dismiss your regiment

"Ride 'Em Cowboy"

"Ride 'Em Cowboy"



They laughed with me
Then laughed at me
They said "how true"
They said "not you"
They thought how wise
Then thought goodbye
Your hit your stride
Then Mr. Hyde
(Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em)
They laughed with me
Then laughed at me
They said "how true"
They said "not you"
They thought how wise
Then thought goodbye
Your hit your stride
Then Mr. Hyde
Ride 'em
I got thrown again
Ride 'em
Get back on again

I swam, I sank
Top seed, unranked
The pole, the wall
The pride, the fall
A state of grace
Slapped in the face
A state of mind
Then card declined

From great to good
From good to fair
To barely pass
Stay after class

I'm hot I'm cold
I'm bought, I'm sold
First accolades
Then hand grenades
They hate your look
They hate your book
They hate your guts
You've heard enough
It's not your day
It's not your week
It's not your month
It's not your year

First AOK
Then IOU
BMOC
Then MIA
From DIY
To DUI
From 411
To 911
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em

First AOK
Then IOU
BMOC
Then MIA
From DIY
To DUI
From 411
To 911

From soup to nuts
From job to cuts
From sure to chance
From can to can'ts
From smart to dumb
From bread to crumbs
From wowed to bored
Ole, then gored
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em
I got thrown again
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em
Get back on again

From just desserts
To just desserts
From you're for me
To ca suffit
From bon vivant
To sycophant
From open door
To merde alors
From just desserts
To just desserts
From you're for me
To ca suffit
From bon vivant
To sycophant
From open door
To merde alors
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em

I got thrown again
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em
Get back on again
Ride 'em Cowboy
Ride 'em cowboy

"Rock 'N' Roll People In A Disco World"

"Rock 'N' Roll People In A Disco World"



Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world
They sing Hard Day's Night
They're as high as kites
And they sing and play and carry on like
Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world

Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world
They make L. P. records
And a few make comebacks
And the rest sell shoes to all the other
Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world
Rock and roll people in a disco world

"Rock, Rock, Rock"

"Rock, Rock, Rock"



Soft passages, they get you into trouble
They imply a lack of passion and commitment
Soft passages, they get you into trouble
They imply a lack of feeling and of fervor
They get you into trouble, they get you into trouble
They imply a certain air of indecision
Soft passages, they get you into trouble
And since you put a gun to my head

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me,
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

Soft passages can get you into trouble
They imply a lack of passion and commitment
Soft passages can get you into trouble
They get you into trouble, they get you into trouble

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me,
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

A lack of passion, a lack of commitment,
A lack of feeling, a lack of fervor
A lack of decisiveness
And since you put a gun to my head

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

Soft passages, they get you into trouble
They imply a certain faux respectability
A certain measure of weakness
They get you into trouble
A certain level of maturity

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me don't leave me
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me don't leave me
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

A lack of passion, a lack of commitment,
A lack of feeling, a lack of fervor
A lack of decisiveness
And since you put a gun to my head

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

And since you put, and since you put,
And since you put, and since you put
And since you put a gun to my head

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Like a mother, like a mother, like a mother, like a mother

I promise that I'll rock, rock, rock
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me
I will rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock

"Rockin' Girls"

"Rockin' Girls"



Rockin' Girls
Just 17
The cutest thing I've ever seen
C'mon baby, rock with me tonite
You're the only girl I ever met named Linda Lou
Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you

See the girl with the red dress on
See the girl with the red dress off
C'mon baby, rock with me tonite
And you're the only girl I ever met who hates "Hey Jude"
Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you

Take a trip around the world
All you have to say is
"C'mon baby" that gets 'em everywhere
I hope I never have to see the doctor 'cause of you
I hope you never have to see the doctor 'cause of me

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You look a little slow
Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, now you're movin' fine
It's instrumental time

Rockin' Girls
Just 17
The cutest thing I've ever seen

Rockin' Girls, I'm on my knees
Don't get old and don't get mean
C'mon baby, please stay 17

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You look a little slow
Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, now you're movin' great
I think I'll take a break

"Roger"

"Roger"



I'm picking up where I once left off in the
search for a justified balance between the
wealth that I have now and the wealth
that they all want to have

Let's ask Roger if he knows what I mean

Roger, Roger, let's take your Sue

How does she do it Roger, how does she do it, Roger?

Roger, Roger, has Sue got the balance right
for you, Roger, I ask you Roger, has she
got the balance right for you?

Has she got it, has she got it?
Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger

"Rosebud"

"Rosebud"


Oh pretty baby
You look helpless
There is beauty in pain
Help is coming
So don't you worry
Don't even try to explain

The sirens blaring
The look of panic
These are the signs of a dream
Cry pretty baby
You'll feel better
I'm trying hard not to scream

What will your mother say
What will your father say
What will the angels say
As they hide in disgrace
From your beautiful face

Hush my darling
There's tomorrow
We'll be laughing again
We'll buy a camera
We'll take vacations
Try not to move if you can

Without a warning
Without a reason
There wasn't even a scream
Don't call it tragic
That gives it meaning
I'm trying hard not to scream

[Chorus x2]

A tiny diamond
Lies out on Main Street
That's all that's left of our love
Without your loving
My life is nothing
How can I ever go on

[Chorus x2]

In a movie a life can be summed up in a word
It's a useful, dramatic device
In the real world, with real flesh and real blood
One word is never, ever enough

"Saccharin And The War"

"Saccharin And The War"



Fifteen years the bus had waited
Before it moved on into the town
Eye liner worn by all their girls

Through the night the war was fought
Each "eye liner" took two small drops
Reaction - Elation - Joy, Joy, Joy

Every girl took in a doctor
The Constitution says: "you must house the men"
Each doctor undermined a plot

All the weight that was soon lost
They erected as a golden cross

Remember the weight is no longer here

Through the street girls sang
The marching bands brought on the rain
The Doctors stood by the gold cross

One "eye liner" she had an idea
She read the Book, the Golden Book
It seems another Man had come across a cross

Dr. Jones they crucified

But, all their weight was returned back

Ha, Ha for all the girls now

"Scheherazade"

"Scheherazade"



Scheherazade, you enslave me
Others begged, crying "save me"
Wasted words, hatred tore me
Scheherazade, tell me stories
Ships at sea, all imagined

Bravery, all imagined
Bloodless blood, colorblindness
Scheherazade, who's behind this?
Scheherazade, there's a sameness
To the world in its plainness
But your worlds are on fire
Filled with lust
Filled with liars

Once upon a time
Very, very long ago
Once upon a time
Very, very far away
All I want are illusions
Scheherazade, no conclusions

Every night, entertain me
No repeats, entertain me
Ships at sea, all imagined
Bravery, all imagined
Bloodless blood, colorblindness
Scheherazade, you're behind this

Scheherazade, Scheherazade, Scheherazade, Scheherazade
I won't kill you
