Mad Monk's coming over at 6, so you might want to clear out then
because we're going to work out some kinks, and then you know
we'll get cookin', uh- huh.
Here comes Doog, to get things movin'
Dr. Ray makes an entrance and you know it starts groovin'!
My name's Willy, and I wanna sing for you,
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Woodsheddin', ah-ooh
Somebody came prepared, and brought a doobie.
Let's take 5 and we'll go outside--
you can light it up, but then pass it on to me!
Here comes Doog ...

Behind the Curtain
02:48
|
|||
|
You used to tease me with your friends from your bible study
because you hated my favorite book.
You used to laugh at things that weren't funny.
I couldn't stand it, nor the way you looked.
But when I saw you at the casting call,
you didn't seem like that person at all.
At rehearsals, you were fine,
and all that time we spent practicing our lines,
you didn't really bother me!?!
So I kissed you when I had to in the play.
Then I kissed you on the stairs backstage.
We kept kissing when the curtains closed--
I got this feeling that nobody knows!
When we were kids you were cool with me,
but I took my own way, and now I'm a freak.
I'd rather get stoned and sing my songs
than pretend to like your friends, and play along.
But when I saw you at the casting call ...
I got this feeling that nobody knows!

Ginger's Umbrella
03:31

I ran into her just the other day, standing on the corner,
so I sang this little song.
In her rainboots, she just sang along.
Then the clouds broke and we walked home.
It was 3rd Street where I saw here there.
Standing under Ginger's umbrella
Something strange has happened in the city nearest us--
they burnt up all of Willy's books--it caused him quite a fuss.
And so, he fixed his instrument to the sky.
Ever since, it's raining, and I feel depressed, I don't know why.
I need an umbrella to get out of the rain.
Ginger, can I stand with you? I fear I'll go insane,
and things would be much better if I don't.
I've got better things to do than lose my mind because I'm blue.
I just need someone like you to talk to for awhile.

Shape Your Mind
02:29
|
|||
|
I've got a friend. He dreams of transistors and schematics.
He's an automatic, natural fixer.
And his companion, she dreams about numbers.
She sees the underlying meaning and structure.
You can shape your mind. You can shape your mind,
any way you want to.
I know a woman. She paints beautiful pictures. She sees the world in color and figures.
I know a man. He can bend like a pretzel.
He's blissing out on a whole-nother level!
You can shape your mind. You can shape your mind,
anyway you want to.
If you don't know where to start, it's really very simple--
you follow your heart.
Go on now, and shape your mind.
There's band rocking in my head. It's what I love.
It's like I said. You shape your mind with the things you do.
Take control. It's up to you.

Motherless Child
02:50
|

|
I'm an original motherless child
I race with the wind and I'm running wild
Don't have a dream, I don't have a goal
I just want to play some rock & roll
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I was born in a middle-class shack
Hated all the clothes hanging off my back
I was good at school but didn't give a damn
I felt like the world was a garbage can
oh, oh, oh, stick out your can
Motherless child, all alone in the city
Motherless child, well, I ain't too pretty
Motherless child, I don't want your pity,
Let's get it down to the real nitty gritty, yeah, uh huh
My mom left me when I was quite young
Raised by my dad and a nervous nun
At age 14 I had to make a break
But everybody said I was just a snake
hissssss
Motherless child, all alone in the city
Motherless child, well I ain't too pretty
Motherless child, I don't want your pity
Let's get it down to some diddy wah diddy, yeah ... diddy wha
God bless the child that's got his own x4

Bazooka

Bazooka!
She'll blow up your heart like a bubble
Bazooka!
Then she'll chew it up and spit it in puddle
Bazooka!
I really like her, but I don't like the trouble.
I get stuck to her shoe.
Nah, I've already been chewed
Bazooka
Takes breath and pulls it through the lips then
Bazooka
Blows it up, and gives you little kisses
Bazooka
is the sweetest, but I don't really miss it,
I get a stuck to her shoe,
Nah, I've already been chewed.

Stronger Together
02:36
|

|
I know we're stronger together, you just don't see it now.
I know we're stronger together, but you just don't see how.
One day, you'll see, and we'll be happy, and we'll be free.
There's something tryin' to hold us, hold us all apart,
but we won't let that happen.
We got it right from the start.
One day you'll see, and we'll be happy, and we'll be free.
C'mon let's take it down easy,
let's give a little room to breathe.
We've spent a long time waiting for something to believe.
I know we're stronger together, you just don't see it now.
I know we're stronger together, but you just don't see how.
One day you'll see, and we'll be happy and we'll be free.
We gotta come together

High Noon
02:12
|

|
High noon. Sky is blue, and you can't keep your clothes on,
standing on the front porch.
Can you feel that, too? I don't know how long it's been
since the grass seemed this green--everything so simple.
High noon. Sky is blue, and the grass is dying.
We're headed for the winter.
But for now it's warm, and the light's just right,
here at high noon.

Trepidation
02:14
|
|||
|
Oh, I only want to be with you
Oh, I only want to stay with you
But I can feel your trepidation
So don't be afraid
I'm by your side to give you comfort
I'm not a man whose gonna run your life
Oh, I want to be a loving friend
Oh, I'll stay with you until the end
But you know my reputation--
don't run away!
I'm having fun being your consort
No need to worry about commitment to more
I can feel your trepidation
Don't run away

No More Songs
02:41
|
|||
|
No more songs about girls
I want to forget you now
No more songs about boys
You were once a friend, not now
Since you went away, I ...
Since you went away, I ...
No more liquor and drugs
That's all behind me now
No more liquor and drugs
At least for a little while
Since you went away, I ...
Since you went away,
I've been falling down,
Falling down
What am I singing about anyway?
What the hell am I trying to say?
Oh won't you tell me?
Oh, please please tell me?
No more songs about me
I want to forget myself
No more songs about me
It's time to transcend myself
Since I went away ... nothing
Since I went away ... nothing
Been upside down, spinning around,
hanging around all over town,
spinning around, just like a clown
all over town, hanging around,
all around ...
all around ....
