There is a button and there's a switch There is a needle and there's a dial There is a lever I want to lift And still you treat me like I'm a child Daddy can I turn this? Daddy can I turn this? Will it be very dangerous? Or will it taste nice? You wash your h...

I recall the good old days But thankfully, they've gone Now the ponies all are broken nags That stumble as they groan And throw the jockeys from their throne When there are pitches left to dodge And lions left to tame But it's nothing but a dirty rotten shame...

Sugar cube drop into a yellow cup What makes the world just waking up Revolve? Dissolve Who knows where on earth it's going to stop? I can't hear you 'cos we're breaking up Dissolve And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic The birds all fly from...

Down among the wines and spirits Where a man gets what he merits Once he was written in letters of nine feet tall Now he finds how far he's fallen Since he set his mind on her completely Oh well, I guess that you mustn't have seen him lately Walking around wi...

Everything seems so tranquil Home movies with no subtitles Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin' When the film keeps playin', playin' ? Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant He'll close in when he seems so distant Doctor Luther's assistant He'll get on t...

I sat in a motel room with the doctor Just before we were supposed to sing He said regarding this guardian wing This black and clipped misshapen thing Hobbling on from claw to ring Hung upside down and cawing Pecking at carrion of the fallen Battalion Thawing...
