Casserole Me Over

Pineapple Time
Teeth of Bread and Honey,
Licking my lips on a mozel pan, honey,
Rolling my eyes at the sugar surprise,
I can't seem to stuff my body enough.
Lemons and Limes,
Wine rolling over
Cup in my hands, so pur me another,
Sucking my hair for the weed over there,
I Can't seem to stuff my body enough!
Wait till I scream!
Gimme, gimme Ice Cream,
Gimme a peel, of your cool jelly heel
Show me your wife
And I'll cut you a slice,
Coz I'm into a pie you can't find in the sky!
Casserole me over! I can eat all you give!
Casserole me over! I can't seem to stuff my body enough!
So lean a divine, and a Japenese lime.
Filling my face with oriental grace.
If your food is a drag,
you're not into my bag, coz
I'm making my day with this lemon souffle!
Agh! My, oh my! I love greasy french fries!
Watch while I puke in your chicken foot soup,
But nothing compares, with Vang ne(can't understand)
Whatever you got, give it to me hot!
Casserole me Over! I can eat all you give!
Casserole me Over! I can't seem to stuff my body enough!
FADE OUT

So you're older than I
You're not alone
People are known to fall in love
Anyway
And if you're feeling all your years
We'll count them: More than one, less than five...
Have you children too long
A friend at home?
Doesn't she smile the way I do?
Anyway
And if you're watching all the hours
We'll count them: More than one, less than five
There's a life left to find
All you've been searching for
All of the answers are in me

I wanna make you cry
I wanna make you weep
I wanna make you think about me in your sleep
I wanna make you shine!
I wanna make you mine!
What's your address?
Where's your bed, to send a red valentine?
Where's your bed? To send a red, red Valentine
I wanna make you cry
I wanna make you weep
I wanna make you think about me in your sleep
I wanna make you moan
I wanna make you groan
Until you know how bad it feels to be all alone!
I wanna make you laugh!
I wanna make you smile!
I want your heart, to beat the minute
And your feet to count the mimes
I wanna make you shine!
I wanna make you mine!
What's your address?
Where's your bed to send a red valentine?
This repeats until FADE OUT...

Muesli Dreams
03:46
|

|
And how wrong it seems
Why'd it always rain on me
Brushing heavily weighing me down...
Can't seem to get away
Changing my brain
All risings fall away
They ain't moving yet
Am I strange to meet a man?
Oh! Your answer shows me you understand
With your velvet eyes carrying me on
You're breathing far and rising, leading me on
Your breasts against my eyes could never be wrong!
I feel a cloud creeping up on me!
Give a smile for the love you see
Touch it silently, pass it along....
A Muesli Dreamer Day Keeping me up
Maybe I'll fly away before the rain comes

Edit Lyrics Edit Song Facts
Got a feeling inside (Can't explain)
A certain kind (Can't explain)
I feel hot and cold (Can't explain)
All down my soul yeah (Can't explain)
I said (Can't explain)
I'm feeling good now buh (Can't explain)
I'm dizzy in my head and I'm feeling blue
Things you say well maybe they're true
Getting funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but
Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
Yeah hear what I say boy (can't explain)
Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad
Things you say they've got me real mad
Getting funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but
Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
Well give me one more chance (can't explain)
Ooh well I can't explain
Ooh going out of my mind (Can't explain)
Can't I'm a worried kind (Can't explain)
You love me but I can't explain
Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
And hear what I say, boy (can't explain)
Can't explain, can't explain
I think it's love, but I can't (explain) explain

Sunshine, tell me your mine
I said sunshine, tell me your mine
You know it's alright
I'll help you pay the price
Sunshine, I'm feelin' divine
I said sunshine, I'm feelin' divine
How is it so right
Oh every night
You hypnotize me and, amaze me
You hypnotize me and, amaze me
And amaze me, out of phase me
You're so amazing with it
Sunshine, trickle and wine
I said sunshine, lend me a line
To make it feel right
You make me feel nice
Sunshine, I'm feelin' divine
Oh sunshine, I'm feelin' divine
How is it so right
Oh every night
You hypnotize me and, amaze me
You hypnotize me and, amaze me
You amaze me, out of phase me
You're so amazing with it
Oh, sunshine, how is it right away
Sunshine
Oh tell me you're mine
Sunshine
Lend me a line

I'm feelin' divine, I'm feelin' divine, I'm feelin' divine
Sunshine, oh sunshine, I trickle and, trickle and, trickle and wine

Hawaii

Mild doses of winter rain
Brown bodies and pink champagne
Barefoot walking on sunshine days
Cool waters and blue green bays
In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii
I remember all the white beaches and perfect waves
Acid sunsets and flower leis
Easy living and lazy ways
Velvet mornings at break of day
In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii
I left my home on a big bird
Lost, alone and unhurt
To gather some knowledge of this great vast earth
To learn about more than the place of my birth
Only to miss the wonders of Hawaii
Packaged people with [?]
Smile for the camera with my ebony eyes
Fake love potions, real estate lies
Bring all your dollars to this paradise
Hawaii
Hmm mm mm
Oh Hawaii

And how would you like to take my place
In this, LONG oh LONG LONG Superstar Long!
I said this LONG LONG Superstar LONG!
Crazy show!
My head has exploded
Confused and disturbed
Oh, and God won't help me now
And I can't find the soul
To be learning how to love him no more!
And I'm moving on my way!
So long, too long Broadway!
Something has taken me over!
Roll over Passover time!
And I'm sorry to leave
But I ain't got the feel of this
LOONNGG LONG Superstar long!
CRAZY SHOW!

The Moon Struck One
04:22

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
And promised to return before the moon struck one
Julie came running through the pasture, she was screaming at the sky
She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly
Little John was stung by a snake over by the lake
And it looked like he s really, really hurt, he was lying in the dirt
Who, we went it as fast as we could run
But we lost little John as the moon struck one
I was vacant, Julie was a bird with a broken wing
We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring
We'll drive down to Durango--up and leave this place
And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace
The car broke down when we had just begun
And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one

Happy Ending
03:57
|

|
Take me away from this hungry older.
Take me away from this tired and lonely thirst.
I've got nothing at all since your loved went and died
Are you making me crawl? Am I making you cry?
Am I making you cry?
Take me away from this sledgehammer night.
Take me away on a mattress
Of velvet in a clear modern candlelight
And the sun's gonna shine where it never shown
I'm coming out of the dark, I can't make it alone.
I can't make it alone.
Don't you know that I'm always waiting
Don't you see that I'll always be hoping!
Don't you know I'm anticipating my Happy Ending!
Oh, My Happy Ending
Give me my happy ending!
And we'll be home free, home free
Home Free, and we made it just in time...
Oh, take me away from this hungry older.
Take me away from this tired and dusty thirst.
And the sun's gonna shine where the sun never shown
I'm coming out of the dark, I can't make it alone!
I can't make it alone.
There's only one thing left to do,
Take me away...

Love's Bringing Me Down
05:09
|
|||
|
In the beginning something was said and misunderstood.
In the beginning it wasn't so good.
There was no excuse and no abuse.
Just a turning away from the sun.
It should not have begun.
What can you say, when time falls away?
And what's hangin' sad? Nothing to Give.
Nothing you've got that he'll take.
Nothing left to share around.
Nothing but weeping inside....
Ooh, Love's bringing me down,
just an early morning break down.
Ooh love's bringing me down,
bringing me down,
Look out for love! You're bringing me DOWN!
I suppose that's what you get for believing in people,
Trusting them all the time, not just a little.
Oh, now and again, If I become cynical,
please excuse me, something is weeping inside...
Ooh, Love's bringing me down,
just an early morning bring down!
Ooh, love's bringing me down.
Bringing me down,
Look out love, you're bringing me DOWN!
Remember the day I wore a simple smile?
The day I thought I would keep you to me?
The day I told you I should've expected your reaction?
But that's so easy to say!
We spent our daylight hours locked in separate conversation,
You-complaining about my voice I can't remember what I thought about you then.
Ooh, Love's bringing me down.
Just an early morning bring down!
Ooh love's bringing me down!
Bringing me down!
Look out love! You're bringing me down! Oh!
~MUSIC TRIPPIN' ROCKY BREAK~
And now I walk out in the streets alone,
singing these words to the moonlight.
Perfecting on the cobblestones.
So little point in going home.
You're not alone,
No, you're not alone.
You're not ALONE.
Oh, love's bringing me down.
Just an early morning breakdown.
Oh love's bringing me down.
Bringing me down.
Look out love! You're bringing me DOOOWWNN!!!!!
In the beginning something was said and misunderstood.
In the beginning it wasn't so good.
There was no excuse and no abuse, just a turning away from the sun.
It should not have begun...
