"Come In Outerspace"

"Come In Outerspace"



Few things really get me mad
Disappointed or truly sad
I'm out on the beach lookin' for a light
Shootin' through the summer night
And when the sun comes up, I'm going blind
From stretch and strainin' my minds eye

I don't know why I keep it up
Twenty five years gone down on luck
Everybody's seen 'em by now
I feel like I am bein' left out

Come on in outerspace
I do wanna see you too
Losin' all my money on the books
They wrote about you
Tune in outerspace
Something gotta give you face
Maybe it's vanity
Don't you think that you owe it to me

When I'm at home, insecure
They scrutinize me, for sure
I take a pill and I fall asleep
Can't shake it off, I'm in the deep
And when the sun goes down, I'm up all right
From the stretch and strainin' my minds eye

I don't know why I keep it up
Twenty five years gone down on luck
Everybody's seen 'em by now
I feel like I am bein' left out

Come on in outerspace
I wanna see you too
Losin' all my money on the books
They wrote about you
Tune in outerspace
Something gotta give you face
Maybe it's vanity
Don't you think that you owe it to me

"Comin' In, Goin' Out"

"Comin' In, Goin' Out"



In the morning when I wake up
I recover from a dream
And beside me is my sweet heart
Still asleep innocently

Turn the tap on
Splash some water
On my cheeks and suddenly
I remember in the mirror
Who I am and where I've been

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

There's a postcard on the doorstep
With a stamp I've never seen
And a stray dog says good morning
To the sunshine I believe

Every minute, every hour
Ever time-out, go between
God keeps trying new inventions
For a bullet on a broken wing
And the Lord knows
It's a smoke screen
Messin' up again
Bless my soul
You're in control now

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

"Con Man"

"Con Man"



He split the racket, to operate on his own
He set them up, stripped them and then he was gone
He's a Robin Hood of a new century
If you're rich and dumb, you bleed, boy
Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all

Sister, tell your mister, to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler, Con man rides again
Bandits, he's the bandits, settin' up a frame
Sister, tell your mister, to hold onto his brains

Con man's mastermindin' on a brand new heist
Blueprintin' through the secret files
Your tune ain't gonna be so nice
When he gets through with you
There's just one thing left to do
Cause he'll take it away
One money hungry night
Your longs are gonna be his guidin' lights
He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out
Leavin' his lies, spreadin' doubts all about

Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all

Sister, tell your mister, to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler, Con man rides again
Bandits, he's the bandits, settin' up a frame
Sister, tell your mister, to hold onto his brains
Con man's masturbatin' on a brand new heist
Somebody's in for a big surprise
Your wrongs are gonna be his rights
When a pro's at a con, he's the devil's son
Cause he'll take it away
One money hungry night
Your longs are gonna be his guidin' lights
He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out
Leavin' his lies, spreadin' doubts all about
He's the devil's son, he's the devil's son

Sometimes I think I'm gonna study that game
Be a Con man myself some day
Just one thing's botherin' me
I might be conning myself, by the way
It's a quarter past five, and that's no lie
I'm glad we're all still alive, goodbye now
Look out, he's spreadin' those doubts all about
He's the devil, son

"Cool As It Gets"

"Cool As It Gets"



A black six tockies ready for rockin’
That’s all your mama needs
They get close to dyin’, overboard and flyin’
You’re all she ever wanted to be
Gonna spread your wings and do wicked little things
Almost ready to fly
Into the night take a careful bite
Of what is never foreseen

Mother tries buyin’ off the law
Begging for guidance in us all
But you got fire inside your brain
And that’s as cool as it gets

Every time she hears a knock it’s more than enough
To feel paranoid again
Might be Frankie, baby bad Jordan
Fallen is ready to sin
Give a little give, give a little tea
Her mama’s back on her knees
You’re so excited, illuminated lighted
Up like a Christmas tree

Mother keeps tryin’ to inspire the lord
Begging for guidance in us all
But you got fire inside your brain
And that’s as cool as it gets

Ride from the slow, you’re ridin’ in the fastest lane
Ain’t no turnin’ back to where you’ve always been
Take my advice because all life’s just a lonely game
Just go ahead
Go ahead, tonight’s your night baby

Right from the start, you’re bangin’ for the fastest lane
Ain’t no turnin’ back to where you’ve always been
Take my advice because all life’s just a lonely game
Just go ahead
Go ahead, tonight’s your night baby

Cool as it gets
Cool as it gets
Cool as it gets
Cool as it gets
Cool as it gets
Cool as it gets

"Cruisin' Southern Germany"

"Cruisin' Southern Germany"



Pick pocket with a red coat on
Dishy dashing through a squirrel-farm
Police cats, high heeled hat
Pointing out just where it's at
And I close my eyes to see, reality

Mickey Mouse on the hillside flees
When I brush his garden with my knees
It's an oxtails symphony
Topped off with greasy macaroni
And it all seems so familiar to me
Cruisin' Southern Germany

When you get a little homesick
I miss you girl and your TV
Pump down some of that old gold comfort
Cruisin' real nice and easy
Cruisin' real nice and easy
Southern Germany

Jesus Christ's looking down on the valley
Wondering why they left him lonely
Das Gasthaus and the one Mark free
Goulash in high degree
It all seems so familiar to me
On top of Southern Germany

"Crystal Heaven"

"Crystal Heaven"



The fantastic story around your figure,
Is rolling now, through my mind.
I've never heard such lovely stories,
Since I came here to find your kind.
I left reality in a hurry,
I could escape just in time.
Ah, Crystal Heaven seems near to me,
I, I feel her breath blow my mind.

She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.

Oh, Crystal Heaven's got a clear blue skin,
It sparkles every day and night.
She will never fail when she wants to be cold and warm,
Between, ah, dark and light,
To reach you, you, oh Crystal Heaven,
You must be super-human or ah, more of that,
Looking at you and your millions of eyes,
Oh really, you can drive me mad.

She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway,
She is something,
Oh you can't believe it now,
A-Something,
You won't believe it!
A-Something,
Keep on telling you,
Crystal Heaven, now, yeah!

I love you, oh Crystal Heaven,
I love you, oh Crystal Heaven,
The fantastic story around your figure,
Is rolling now through my mind.
I've never heard such lovely stories,
Since I came here to find your kind.
I left reality in a hurry,
I could escape just in time.
Ah, Crystal Heaven seems near to me

"Cut 'Em Down To Size"

"Cut 'Em Down To Size"



He's got a room at the top and a jag at the bottom
Looks real pleased inside his boredom
Out on the stretch he's a big time roller
But the dames keep gettin' colder and colder
He thinks inch by inch monopolize
But that little girl over there
If he got the guts, if he dares
He's gonna cut 'em down to size

Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry for t he first prize
Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry aimin' at the eyes
She's gonna cut 'em down to size

There's a whole lotta pretty things going 'round
So don't let one bad break bring you down
I know a guy who swears he won't find another
Girl like the one that dated him for his brother
Now she's waitin' for him to apologize
She just wants to cut him down to size

Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry for t he first prize
Sheila's gettin' rude and hungry aimin' at the eyes
She's gonna cut 'em down

Cut 'em down to size, cut 'em down to size

"D-Light"

"D-Light"



I'm in bed and she's bending over in a beam of d-light
You all know the sight
Things I can't seem to forget, gettin' drunk and wet
In a pool of delight
She slips between the sheets and me
I can't resist, I can't fight when she turns on the d-light
Achievin' that feelin' that makes my body glow

Turn on the d-light, turn on the d-light
Everything sugar and spice
When you turn on the d-light
Baby better keep it alive
Baby gotta keep it alive

Back in bed there's no conversation
Just the mellow sound of a sleepy town
And I can't sleep yet
Wanna make a bet
There's a million people in the world
Waitin' for it to come around
Everybody's growin' up
Everybody's talkin' slow
Everybody's takin' big steps, where? I don't know
Believe in what your dreamin'
Cause there won't be anywhere else to go

Turn on your d-light, turn on your d-light
Everything sugar and spice
When you turn on your d-light
Baby gotta keep it alive, baby gotta keep it alive

"Daddy Buy Me A Girl"

"Daddy Buy Me A Girl"



When only a little baby,
I already was rich
A wealthy mother and father,
Gave me all I could wish
Precious toys, things I just wanted
Crowding the park and the stably house

Girls were thinking they loved me
Affection still was for sale
The only time I adored one,
Thinking love was real fun

Soon it started to show,
That girl just wanted my dough
Gave her rings, diamonds and mink coats
Hoping these would make her see
That I'm much more than only money
Affection wasn't for sale

Daddy buy me a girl
Please buy me a girl
You can spend all of your money
To make sure when she calls me honey
Rich or poor, all the same crazy about me

"Daddy's Gonna Save My Soul"

"Daddy's Gonna Save My Soul"



I was born the son of a tycoon
Successor to a vast fortune
Being spoilt without concern
For the future tricks I'd turn
I found the wrong direction
Due to daddies overprotection

With people in a state of trance
There's no use for common sense
What you do is use the coin
Justify what you're destroyin'
Following the family code
I misbehave, lose control
Cause daddy's gonna save my soul
I misbehave, lose control
Cause daddy's gonna save my soul

What to think of a man of means
That wheels and deals behind the scenes
I radiate potential danger
Accepted as a well known stranger
At all the jet-set parties
I'm tampering with the ladies

With people in a state of trance
There's no use for common sense
What you do is use the coin
Justify what you're destroyin'
Following the family code
I misbehave, lose control
Cause daddy's gonna save my soul
I misbehave, lose control
Cause daddy's gonna save my soul
