Show me the way Hand to my face Show me to my place In a young man’s game But the high score’s going down I can feel the fire burning Trying to stay alive Like a spider in the bathtub Trying to survive I can feel the fire burning Trying to stay alive I can wait a thousand lifetimes To finally get inside Steam is rising from the shower Guard me from my eyes I can wait a thousand lifetimes Keep me from inside

Embassy Suites Sweeter than black sugar Or even brown sugar, baby White wine Embassy Suites Sweet as honey fruit flavor Dripping into a fruit cup Embassy Suites Sweeter than black sugar Or even brown sugar, baby White wine Embassy Suites I tell you living room is separate Like in heaven above And every single morning I’ll be lining up for French toast Every single afternoon I’m down there at the swimming hole Every single night I’m watching HBO Every single channel’s showing SVU

Come back I’mma come back and do it again Gonna ring that bell & pour molten lead Over heads of my enemies & friends Oh yeah, I’m a hunchback And I’m up in the tower again I need a gypsy lady in my sanctuary Play your tambourine and set me free. Come back I’mma come back and do it again Gonna ring that bell & pour molten lead Over heads of my enemies & friends Oh yeah, I’m a hunchback And I’m up with the statues again They can’t see me weep I can’t hear them speak. Why could I not be made of stone like thee? Listen to me Listen to me, baby Listen to me ‘cause I gotta come back They’re whippin’ on me They’re whippin’ on me, baby Give me water cuz ya know I‘m hunchback

Hey calculator-- You can put away the whiteboard You gotta taste for the selection And I’m liking your type. Sooner or later, You’ll find out what you’re looking for. You got my face in your reflection I’m liking your type. So get up...and sit back down. I want everybody in the place to feel like shit Ain’t no party here--no need to hang around I want everybody in the place to feel like shit

Business as usual You take out the trash & then you go. Business is natural You count all the pieces when you know But you can’t get without a businessman You listen to your better touch. But there’s no business usual You can’t even listen to your love. Our business can go ahead without you It’s just another reason to slip away Our business can go ahead so don’t you Let it just be reason to slip away.

Savor the flavor Kiss on the lips The only red place In the middle of my face I wait for ya, face forward Kiss on the lips Chappy need a touch of Blistex; Cigarette, Dentyne Ice Don’t want it on my forehead Or my cheek; Don’t want it on my neck-- I ain’t a vampire. Warm blood hot on my lips I need a kiss, baby, I’m on fire. Don’t want it on my hand Forget about my nose Don’t want it on my eyes-- I ain’t a baby havin’ bedtime. I’m a grown man with a burnin’ on my lips Baby, I’m on fire Can you extinguish me? Can you wet me down? Baby baby, I’m on fire. Can’t you tell it’s a five alarm? Can you smell the burning When you’re close to my face? Baby baby, I’m on fire.

I made a wish That I hoped never came true Made a plan for the plan to fall through I said it’s cool Despite that it wasn’t that cool I’m cool with lyin’ about cool Talk fast, baby I‘ll never let on The bus’ll get me there yet And yet I didn’t get on The sign says the club is Command-O But instead I just ESCed by the window I don’t have to tell ‘em the truth I don’t have to tell’em I’m Commando Command-W I told a tale A tale that I told ‘em I knew You know that tellin’ ‘em would make the tale true I was produced Who knew they’d be buyin’ it used I heard my hunting knife is worth a thing or two

Her tail’s been draggin’ She needs a jumpstart to get turned on Upholstery is saggin’ She ain’t got the shoes to carry me home Body’s in a mint condition But her insides tore her apart When she turns over each mornin’ I secretly hope she won’t start She left me high ‘n’ dry by the desert Left me nothin’ in the tank but the sand No headlights, no lanterns Gonna try catch a ride from Japan From the stars of Corolla To the moons of Solara Toyota’s gonna take me away Pioneer singin’ on the 505 When the music started fading away One by one, her lights went out Left me staring at an empty display Every last one of my dollars Showered her with things I could buy Scented oils, routine care I’d be kissing my investment goodbye I never cared if she’s coming or going Her drivin’s always suited me fine I wouldn’t know where to go If she didn’t take me Gonna try to start her one more time From the stars of Corolla To the moons of Solara To the hot skies of Altima To the seas of Elantra Toyota’s gonna take me away
