"Subhuman Woman"

"Subhuman Woman"


My Woman's Subhuman
(she won't talk)

My Woman's Subhuman
(she can't talk)

My Woman's Subhuman
(she came from space)

My Woman's Subhuman
(she's got no face)

She's bald, she's cold
She's eight years old
She's gonna live for the future
She's got a six foot sign
that says "I love you."

Subhuman Woman [x5]

"Sumthin'"

"Sumthin'"



Green means time to go
Go move over, bro
You're movin' way too slow
Maybe you should know

I'm the leader of the western world
The big decider in the neighborhood
I'm floatin' hope on an ocean of need
I'm Santa Claus, so look under your tree

I got sumthin' for everybody
Sumthin' for everybody
Alright

Red says time to stop
Stop the givin' up
Run, now ditch the walk
Next, get back on top

I'm here to fix it so it runs like new
But the bankers tell me "No can do"
I'm facin' problems way beyond control
I'm talkin' smooth, but I'm deep in the hole

Now, tell me what I say
Sounds like a line
Trust me, every word is true
Just don't ask me why

I got sumthin' for everybody
Sumthin' for everybody
Sumthin' for everybody
Sumthin' for everybody
Alright

Psycho pundits keep on fannin' the fire
Spin the story, then they call me a liar
Tellin' me how I should do my job
Droppin' crumbs for the angry mob

al-Quaeda and the Taliban, fundamentally way out of hand
I keep tryin' to turn it all around
But the New World Order wants to take me down

They got sumthin' for everybody
Sumthin'

"That's Good"

"That's Good"



Everybody - it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody - ain't it true that
Everybody's looking for the same thing

Ain't it true there's just no doubt
There's some things that you can do without and that's good
Ain't it true as the sun that shines
You got yours, and you got mine and that's good
Everybody's just like you - it's true
Everybody wants a good thing, too

Everybody - it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody - ain't it true that
Everybody's looking for the same thing

Ain't it true there's room for doubt
Maybe some things that you can do without and that's good
Everybody's just like you - it's true
Everybody wants a good thing, too

Now let's have a great big hand for everybody that can understand
Life's a bee without a buzz - it's going great 'til you get stung
Now let's not forget to toast everyone who might've missed the boat
And to everybody else who waits 'til the next one sails in again

Everybody - it's a good thing
Ain't it true - it's a monumental good thing
Everybody - it's a good thing
Ain't it true - it's a monumental good thing
Everybody - it's a good thing
Ain't it true - it's a monumental good thing

"That's Pep!"

"That's Pep!"


Vigor vim vitality and punch
The ability to act on a sudden hunch
Nerve to tackle the hardest thing
Feet that climb and hands that cling
A heart that never forgets to sing
That's pep [x3]

Sand and grit in a concrete base
A friendly smile on an honest face
A spirit that helps when another's down
Knows how to scatter the blackest frown
Loves its neighbor, loves its town
That's pep [x4]

Say "I will" for you know you can
Look for the best in every man
Meet each thundering knockout blow
Come back with a smile 'cause you know
You'll get the best of the whole damn show
That's pep [x6]

You know thats pep

"The 4Th Dimension"

"The 4Th Dimension"



I tried and tried, finally I realized
Why she left this 3D world behind
Go!

She got tired of the same old story
She had a mind that would not quit
She'd insist a plot must exist
With an ending that she could not guess

She tried hard to convince me
Then she took off like a bright idea
She believed there just had to be
A movie that she'd never seen

I watched as her fingers drew
A perfect line in space
I watched as she looked on through
Into another place

She found out what she'd been missing
She decided she could change her luck
She was right, life's not black and white
It's something more than meets the eye

I watched as her fingers drew
A perfect line in space
I watched as she walked straight through
Into another place

She parted with convention
Now she's living in the 4th dimension
Without me

I watched as her fingers drew
A perfect line in space
I watched as she walked straight through
Into another place

I tried and tried and still I don't know why
She left me no address or a way to guess
I tried and tried, finally I realized
Why she left this 3D world behind

Now she's somewhere in the 4th dimension
She's living in 4D
She found herself a new direction there
She's living without me

She's living in 4D
She's living without me

Somewhere in the 4th dimension
She's living in 4D
She found herself a new direction there
She's living without me

She's living in 4D
She's living without me

"The Big Picture"

"The Big Picture"



Going 'round the world
Don't know where we're going
We don't even care
But you just can't be from someplace else

Unless you go somewhere
And we're in the same boat
So as long as it floats

We might as well stop 'n' stare
At the big picture, the big picture
Get the big picture

We're almost there
We're gonna keep on going
'Til that new age dawns
Always keeping an eye on the stars in the sky

In case one starts to fall
And we're in the same boat
As the ones who can't float
So they might freak out and sink us all

And miss the big picture
(Going 'round the world)
The big picture
(Got to get it now)
Like a fish in the water

You don't know where you've been
'Til you jump out and take a look around
At the big picture

"The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise"

"The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise"




I got a surprise from my honey
I got a message from my girl
When she picked up a pen from the side of her and
Wrote me a scribbled note
That she was coming back to see
She was visiting real soon
Gonna get up from the long, white bed
And leave this cold white room

Wah-ooo

We was once more living together
From an all-night loving spree
Just like the morning accident
My baby, well, look at me
I saw her sweet face trembling as she tried to open her eyes
I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy the day my baby gave me a surprise

Wah-ooo

I got a surprise from my honey
I got a message from my girl
When she picked up a pen from the side of her and
Wrote me a scribbled note
I saw her sweet face trembling as she tried to open her eyes
I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy the day my baby gave me a surprise

Wah-ooo

"The Rope Song"

"The Rope Song"



I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when she's in and when she's out
Well there ain't nothing to guess about

She covers her ears when I play my guitar
She runs away but not very far
Push a button, retractable cord
I pull her back when I get bored

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

One word from her and she'd be free
But she's exactly where she wants to be
Magnetic madonna she glows in the night
Reciprocal pull, I flow to the light

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?

I found a girl with a pretty face
I tied a rope around her waist
I know when she's in and when she's out
Well there ain't nothing to guess about

Woman, I am bound to you
Woman, I am bound to you
What do I want to do?

Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?
Woman what do I want?

"The Satisfied Mind"

"The Satisfied Mind"



With a mind that's satisfied, with a mind that's satisfied
That big ice cream cone in the sky floats right on by
The satisfied mind never needs more, it never forgets whatever it's for

Beyond control of hot and cold with a mind that's satisfied
Each one goes together alone with a mind that's satisfied

In the middle of a heat wave, an ice cold drink is a major find
In the long dead end of winter, frozen lovers dream of fire

With a mind that's satisfied, with a mind that's satisfied
Lucky ones learn that love is blind, they don't deny
The satisfied mind never needs more, never regrets and never keeps score

Beyond control of hot and cold with a mind that's satisfied
Each one goes together alone with a mind that's satisfied

In the middle of a heat wave, an ice cold drink is a major find
Simple fact you can depend on, bits and pieces of desire

With a mind that's satisfied, that big ice cream cone floats on by
With a mind that's satisfied, lucky ones learn that love is blind

With a mind that's satisfied, the satisfied mind is satisfied
The satisfied mind is satisfied, the satisfied mind is satisfied
