"Hop Frog"


Well they call me a juicy hop-frog
you can see me in any wood bog
don't you know that they call me the hop-frog
hopping frog

I'm a hop-frog

hop, hop-frog

They call me the hop-frog
see me in any wood bog
don't you know that call me a hop-frog
hop-frog

They call me the hop-frog
see me in a wood bog
they're calling me a hop-frog

You can see me in a ballroom
you can see me in a bedroom
you can see me in the woods
hop, hop-frog

They call me the hop-frog
they call you the hop-frog
well they call you the hop-frog
hop, hop-frog

"How Do You Speak To An Angel"

"How Do You Speak To An Angel"


A son who is cursed with a harridan mother
or a weak simpering father at best
Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives
of filial love and incest

How does he speak to a
How does he speak to the prettiest girl
How does he talk to her
What does he say for an opening line
What does he say if he's shy

What do you do with your pragmatic passions
with your classically neurotic style
How do you deal with your vague self-comprehension's
what do you do when you lie

How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to her
How do you dance on the head of a pin
When you're on the outside looking in

How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
You just say, Hello, (hello) Baby (hello)
...
Baby, angel, how do you talk to the prettiest girl, you say
Hello baby, hello baby, angel, angel, pretty little girl
Angel, angel ....

"How Do You Think It Feels"

"How Do You Think It Feels"


How do you think it feels
when you're speeding and lonely, come here baby
How do you think it feels
when all you can say is if only

If only I had a little
if only I had some change, come here baby
If only, if only, if only

How do you think it feels
and when do you think it stops

How do you think it feels
when you've been up for five days, come down here mama
Hunting around always, ooohhh
'cause you're afraid of sleeping

How do you think it feels
to feel like a wolf and foxy
How do you think it feels

To always make love by proxy, huh
how do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops
when do you think it stops

"I Can't Stand It"

"I Can't Stand It"


It's hard being a man
living in a garbage pail
My landlady called me up, ooohhh
she tried to hit me with a mop

I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it anymore more, oh
I can't stand it anymore more

But if Candy would just come back
it'd be all right
Yeah, if Candy would just come back
it would be all right, come on baby

I live with thirteen dead cats
a purple dog that wears spats
They're all out livin' in the hall
and I can't stand it anymore

I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it anymore more

But if Candy would just come back
it'd be all right
Ooohhh, if Candy would just come back
it would be all right, be all right now

Ah, come on baby

I'm tired of living all alone
yeah, nobody ever calls me on the phone
But when, ah, things start getting bad, ah
I just play my music louder

I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it anymore more
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, no
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, oh
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it

"I Love You"

"I Love You"


When I think of all the things I've done
and I know that it's only just begun
Those smiling faces, you know I just can't forget 'em
but I love you

When I think of all the things I've seen
and I know that it's only the beginning
You know those smiling faces, I just can't forget 'em
but for now, I love you

Just for a little while
oh baby, just to see you smile
Just for a little while

When I think of all the things I've done
and I know that it's only just begun
Oh, smiling faces, Jesus, you know I can't forget 'em
But for now, I love you
right this minute, baby now
I love you
at least for now, I love you

"I Wanna Know (The Pit And The Pendulum)"

"I Wanna Know (The Pit And The Pendulum)"


Under the intense scrutiny of Ligeia's eyes
I have felt the full knowledge
And force of their expression
And yet been unable to possess it
And have felt it leave me
As so many other things have left
The letter half-read
The bottle half-drunk
Finding
Finding in the commonest objects of the universe
A circle of analogies
Of metaphors
Ooohhh
For that expression
Which has been willfully
withheld from me
The access to the inner soul denied

I wanna know, ooohhh
I wanna know
I wanna know, oh
I wanna know

In consideration
In consideration of the faculties and impulses
Of the human soul
Of the human soul
In consideration
Of our arrogance
Of our arrogance
Our radical, primitive irreducible arrogance of reason
We have all overlooked the propensity
We saw no need for it
The paradoxical something which we may call perverseness
Perverseness
Through its promptings we act without
Comprehensible object
We act for the reason we should not
We act for the reason we should not
For certain minds this is absolutely irre-, irre-
irresistible
irresistible
The conviction of the wrong
Or impolicy of an action
Is often the unconquerable force
The unconquerable force
It is a primitive impulse
It is a primitive impulse
Primitive impulse
The overwhelming tendency
The overwhelming tendency to do
Wrong for the wrong's sake
To do wrong for the wrong's sake
We persist in acts
Because we feel that we
should not persist in them
Because we feel we, feel we
should not persist, per-, persist in them, ah
Ooohhh

So I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

I wanna, I wanna know
I wanna, I
Ooohhh, we persist in action
We persist in action
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Ooohhh
Wrong, wrong
Oh we persist in action
Ah yeah yeah
When you know that it's wrong
