Ooooooooh (x15)

. . .


Come walk with me thru the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things we're not allowed to touch
We could fall in love--then hate cuz love NEVER lasts
Then we'll dance on the graves of our enemies--won't that be a blast?

But oh, I'm ending my life with you cuz you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel--TO BURN
Come walk with me thru the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things and people we're not allowed to touch
We could fall in love and then HATE yes HATE

Cuz love--we know that love stuff ever lasts
and we'll dance on the graves of our enemies you know it'll be a blast
Kaboom baby kaboom
But ohhhhh I'm ending my life with you
Cuz you're sharp as a knife--we're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
don't mind that wet stuff

I dont care if it's runnin' down your chest
So come walk with me thru the world we love so much
AND WE'LL LOVE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS WE'RE NOW ALLOWED TO TOUCH

. . .


Would you like some lemonade?
No, this ain't no minutemaid
Just today I picked them fresh
From the tree that I love best
Couldn't let them rot away
Like my father used to say

Oh, happy day
Lemonade

Long ago, I didn't know
Didn't care and couldn't grow
On my way in such a fuss
Passed the tree and catch the bus
'Till the day I couldn't pass
Fallen lemons in my path
So with my mom, I now agree
And use the lemons life gives me

Oh, happy day
Lemonade

Hard times come to me

. . .


It's like a holocaust to the boss when I toss
Too much knowledge kicked then you're lost
In a shuffle of feet, Jinx the fiddler
And I control your mind like Hitler

You bow and vow to authority
See now, a sucker with a style just boring me
So I show K N O W L E D G E, it might trouble you
Then I transform like a decepticon
With a mic as a bomb

I'm solo, you ask how I'm living
Still dropping more shit than a pigeon
With the L, the E, the N, the C, the H
The M, the O, the B, the great

Lyrics that make the beat swing and I gotcha
It's the hip hopper that don't like coppers
And if you try to upset the pot sun
You get kicked in the chest like a shotgun

I make the beats, I make the breaks
I make the rhymes that make you shake
Make you find, Ice Cube never caught in the middle
I make shit to kick you in the ass a little

And still never hesitate to stutter step
Or bust a repetition on the mic
Still dissing all the hype from left to right
How many left to fight?
So what that Lench Mob like?

. . .


What's with these homies, dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that

Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that

Bang, bang, knock on the door
Another big bang, get down on the floor
Oh no, what do we do?
Don't look now but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
Wassa matter babe, are you feelin' sick?
Wassa matter, wassa matter, wassa matter you?
Wassa matter babe, are you feelin' blue, and oh

And that's for all time (that's for all time)

Oo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that

Chess is such a difficult game
There are so many pieces
So many squares where you can go
So few promises

Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to do

Street signs and traffic lights
Ever confusing the issue
Stop, left, go right, no U-turn
Where's the goddamn exit?

Never you mind all the others
Influencing your next move
I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to prove
La la la la la la la~

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
The pieces lie right before you
This puzzle can't be done wrong
So come on while you can

Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
Never you mind all the others
Never you mind what they do

Don't let them get you down, 'cause if they do
You'll be trapped forever under their shoe
Here is the paintbrush, so go
I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to do

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la~

. . .


Sometimes I want to pack it all up
Get on a bus and move to Vermont
Or Maine or any of those states back east
That I remember...
Sometimes I wanna go back to school
An east coast college with some history
I'd be satisfied I know in the simple things

Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me

Sometimes I want to build a house
With a wood stove or a fire place
In the middle of the livingroom
An old piano...
Sometimes it don't seem so bad
To settle down with a good woman
Leave this lonely life behind
Forever and ever

Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me

Sometimes I wanna get in a car
Close my eyes and drive real fast
Keep on going 'till I get someplace
Where I can truly rest

Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me

. . .


Blast off! Up to the stars we go
And leave behind everything I used to know.
Somebody's giving me a whole lot of money to do
What I think I want to
So why am I still feeling blue?
Oh Wuan and Dondo

Goddamn, get your head out of your hands.
Here's to all the times we're gonna have.
Cooped up for a year with the two best-looking babes I've seen all year
Get me another bottle of beer
'Cos I'm feeling fine

Go ahead, waste your head
We've got the time. I hope you don't object if I
Speak my mind

Don't forget the purpose of the mission,
Or Nomis will be swallowed by its sun.
Each one of you is a top graduate of the Star Corps Academy
It's up to you reach for a dream
Oh Wuan and Dondo

Go ahead and waste your life
I'm still in fear.
I hope you don't object if I
Crack another beer.

Hold on, who is it here that I see?
Wasn't she a she a favorite bitch in the Academy?
I don't know if I wanna lead on this woman,
You know I've done that before.
She's actually a good girl,
Or at least a cheap ho

. . .


[Maria:] Who you callin' bitch?

[Jonas:] Oh, Maria, they don't mean it. Don't listen to them.

[Maria:] Oh, they make me so mad and you do nothing, nothing to stop them.

[Jonas:] Please, Maria, they mean nothing. Now you must chill out.

[Maria:] Especially Dondo. He acts like he knows that he has a big dick. I despise him. I despise him! I despise him!

. . .


What's wrong with me?
I'm kinda funny
I'm not a dummy
But I'm all alone
Nobody sees me
No one talks to me
Unless they're laughing
Laughing at me

Except for her
She was my true friend
Dancing with me
She was my girlfriend
Somebody, please, tell her for me
Wanda, you're my only love

You're so lucky
You're family's normal
Mom drives a big rig
My daddy's gay

No matter to her
She was my true friend
Dancing with me
She was my girlfriend
Somebody, please, tell her for me
Wanda, you're my only love

Until the day I threw you away
Now I'm alone, and I wish you were home

. . .


(Wuan:) Dude!

(Dondo:) Dude!

(Wuan:) Dude!

(Jonas:) What?

(Wuan and Dondo:) Good news, good news, good news!

(Jonas, Wuan and Dondo:) What's so damn important (Now we're finally landing) that you feel that (M1's started scanning) it's necessary to interrupt me (for a possible source of the distress call we received) in my pod

Now we're finally landing Now we're finally landing Get your stuff together 'Cause now we're finally going to land

(Wuan and Dondo:) Good news, good news, good news! Good news, good news, good news! Good news, good news, good news!

(Jonas:) So who gives a damn?

. . .


(Jonas:) What the hell am I doing, thinking with my willy? Knowing I don't love her, I tell her no, then kiss her toes.

(Laurel:) What the heck are you doing leading on that poor girl? I know there's something better, deep in you. Now let it through.

(Jonas:) Pain, pain go away...

(Laurel:) Go away...

(Jonas:) Come again another day...

(Laurel:) Another day...

(Jonas:) 'Cause I've got a friend tonight...

(Laurel:) Tonight...

(Jonas:) A Superfriend to...

(Together:) Make things right.

(Jonas:) Turn away from weakness, turn to something better. Show me how to live right. I never noticed you, now I worship you.

(Laurel:) Don't be talking silly. Save deceits for the young girls. You can talk for real to me. Close your eyes and leave the lies.

(Jonas:) Pain, pain go away. Come again another day. I got a friend tonight, a superfriend to make things right.

I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you,
Lying with him, down in the snow,
Letting him do all of the things that he wants to.

What does he do?
What does he do to you that's so nice?
And how does it feel
When he takes your hand and kisses it twice?
Lying with you, down in the snow, letting him do
All of the things he wants to.

(Come on come on come on I feel it)
So you laugh and play around
(Come on come on come on I see it)
Fall and hit the ground
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on come on come on I see it)
Your lover in the snow.

Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down on the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
(Come on come on come on)
It hurts for me to see you so
(Come on come on come on)
And I can't take you back no more
(Come on come on come on)
Lover in the snow.

(Come on come on come on I feel it)

I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
Laugh and play around
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You fall and hit the ground
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
Your lover in the snow.

Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down in the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
(Come on come on come on)
It hurts for me to see you so
(Come on come on come on)
And I can't take you back no more
(Come on come on come on)
Lover in the snow
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You laugh and play around
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You fall and hit the ground
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
Your lover in the snow

Crazy one
I think I'm coming undone
I think I lost and you won
I wanna see you again

Baby doll
I still am afraid of it all
I'm hoping that you will call
I wanna see you again

A friend to tender friend
A heart to tender heart
A love that never ends
A love that never starts

Everyone
I think I'm coming undone
I think I lost and you won
I wanna see you again

A friend to tender friend
A heart to tender heart
A love that never ends
A love that never starts

Crazy one
I think I'm coming undone
I think I lost and you won
I wanna see you again

Baby doll
I'm still afraid of it all
I'm hoping that you call
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

. . .


This is the way baby
This is the way
This is the way baby
This is the way

You got to question your situation
He's taking advantage of you
You're such a pushover
He's rolling you over
And all that you ask him to do

So stand up for yourself
And get what you deserve
And I will give it to you my love
I will never leave
'Cause you're the air I breathe
And you're the heaven high up above

And this is the way
That a man loves his lady
He does what he can
And he never tells her "maybe"

The world is still turning
But you are not learning
You're letting him take what he wants
You give him your loving
Your kissing and hugging
But then he goes back where he wants

And you know that it's true
It's all because of you
And now you got to take back your love
Open up to me
I will make you see
What I have is more than enough

And this is the way
That a man loves his lady
He does what he can
And he never tells her "maybe"

I swear to you I will never let you down
I care about you from the inside to the out
Let the jokers learn a lesson that is true:
It's only me and you from now on

And this is the way
That a man loves his lady
He does what he can
And he never tells her "maybe"

. . .


Diane...Down deep inside I cry
Diane...Without your love I'd die
Diane...You know you drive me wild .... Diane
You're such a little evil child ya ya ya

Ya, I wanta pack and leave and slap your face
Bad girls like you are a disgrace
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die

I should drag you down 'cause you're no good
You're two-faced, your heart's made of wood
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die

Listen to my heart
Oh you're tearin' it apart
Oh why don't you understand
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can

I wanna spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die

Ya! Don't you understand Diane

I said ya, ya, ya

I said listen to the beat
Oh I feel it in my feet
Now it's my heart Diane
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can

I wanna spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die

Oh yeah

. . .

Little one, how long I've waited here
Waited for so many lonely years
Nobody ever could make me smile
'Til you came 'round with your pretty style

And I will love you so
And I will love you so

'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside

Happiness is such a fickle thing
Nothing compares to what you can bring
You can bring meaning to what I do
That is why I want to be with you

And I will love you so
And I will love you so

'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside

My darling, I need you
I'd give myself to please you
My darling, I need you
I want you to be mine

'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside
Remind me who I am inside
Remind me who I am inside
