Lyrics to Songs by Singers I like
I have omitted the chorus in the last song.
1.
alphabet city is haunted
constantina feels right at home
she probably won't say you're wrong
you're already wrong
you're already wrong
and you threw up whatever she shot down, said
show me around
this alphabet town
show me around
there's a name you keep repeating
you've got nothing better to do
you're with someone who'll
hear you say it and
just not mind
her hand on your arm
her hand on your arm
she put her hand on your arm
and told you her name you can't pronounce it
i'll show you around this alphabet town
i'll show you around this alphabet town i
know what you are
i just don't mind
i won't say you're wrong
i know what you want
and it's what i want
so let's go out
i'm ready to go out
i'll show you around this alphabet town
i'll show you around this alphabet town
2.
she took the oldsmobile out past condor avenue
she locked the car and slipped past
into rhythmic quiet two
lights burning
voice dry and hoarse
up through the screen door like a bastard back and forth
the chimes fell over each other
i fell onto my knees
the sound of a car driving off
made me feel disease
sick shouting like you hear at the fairground
now I'm picking up
to put away
anything of yours that's still around
i don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
it'll make a whisper out of you
she took the oldsmobile out past condor avenue
the fairground's lit a drunk man's fits
by the gates she's driving through
got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth
looks like he's buried in the sand
at the beach i can't
think about you driving off
to leave barely awake
to take a little nap
while the road is straight
i wish that car had
never been discovered
they took away the bottle and the hat he was under
that's the one thing that he could never do
and it'll make a whisper out of you
she took the oldsmobile out past condor avenue
cops were running around the scene
looking for some kind of clue they
never get uptight when
a moth gets crushed
unless the lightbulb really loved him very much
i'm lying down
blowing smoke from my cigarette
little whisper smoke signs
that you'll never get
you're in your oldsmobile driving by the moon
headlights burning bright ahead of you
someone's burning out out on condor avenue
trying to make a whisper out of you
what a shitty thing to say
did you really mean it
you never said a word to me about what passed between us
so now i'm leaving you alone
you can do whatever the hell you want to
nahh na na nuh nuh nuh
3.
Anger
he smiles
towering in
shiny metallic purple armor
queen jealousy
envy
waits beside him
her fiery green gown
sneers at
the grassy ground
blue are the
life giving waters
taken for granted
they quietly understand
once happy turquoise armies lay
opposite ready
but wonder why
the fight is on
[...]
my red
so confidently flashes
trophies of war
and ribbons
of euphoria
orange is young
full of daring but
very unsteady for the first go round
my yellow in this case
is not so mellow
in fact i'm trying to say
it's frightened like me
and all of these emotions of mine
keep holding me from
giving my life
to a rainbow like you

as long as we're not citing the singers:
know you deceived me, couldn't sleep last night
Now my tear stains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
I can see your secrets
No need to confess
Everyone looks naked when you know the world's address
The world's address
A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The world's address
Life's parade of fashion just leaves me depressed
Under every garment I can see the world's address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
