LAUNDRAMAT-LOVERBOY
-------------------
I caught her by the dryers while I was folding clothes
She didn't seem to notice me until I blew my nose
Her hair was slightly gold, her eyes were kinda bold
I figured when they made this one they must have broke the mold

The washers moved in rhythm, I saw her look my way
She asked me if I had a dime, I paid her right away
The stars were in the sky that night but I was still inside
"Let's waste some time inside my car before your clothes are dry"

Is this any way to get things moving?
Is this any way to get things grooving?

We listened to some music, we smoked a couple joints
I felt the urge to grab her and enjoy her two best points
She knew what I was thinking, she didn't have a chance
Until she bent down over me and threw up on my pants

Laundramat-Loverboy
Laundramat-Loverboy
Laundramat-Loverboy
This ain't no way to get things moving

She said she didn't mean it, she wiped some off her chin
She brushed her hair a little, she flashed a stupid grin
"You're not the first guy that I met in this here laundromat,
Just look outside my doorway, there's no 'Welcome' on my mat"

Is this any way to get things moving?
Is this any way to get things grooving?


IDENTITY LOSS
-------------
Tooling about in a suit jacket
What's the deal with those clothes?
_____
_____

Throw away the symbols of your occupation
Or else you will only be what they say
It's a red hot dance sweeping the nation
You might lose your identity

A construction man with no hardhat
A biker with no chain
A doctor with no stethoscope
A patient with no pain
A hippie with no marijuana
A priest without a cross
A cop without a pistol
They are dancing the Identity Loss

Dance, dance the Identity Loss
Compromise your social position
Dance, dance the Identity Loss
Just shake your ass as you make that transition

Dance, dance the Identity Loss
Compromise your social position
Dance, dance the Identity Loss
Just shake your ass as you make that transition

Throw away the symbols of your, your occupation
Or else you will only be what they say
It's a red hot dance sweeping the nation
You might lose your identity

A groom without a tuxedo
A bride without a gown
To think the streets are empty
The party's all over town

HYPER EXAGGERATION
------------------
You're always so excited about obstacle gains
Yeah, I'm talking to you, I'm, I'm talking to all of you out there
You feel the complex pattern, when things could be so real
Yeah, I'm talking to you, I'm, I'm talking to all of you out there

On your way to business meetings, the radio is on
Roll the windows down on your car so the sound travels out
Fake that charisma, I can see it
Live in a cold world, I can still _____

Well I just can't seem to relate
To the moods you make when you operate
And you feel so proud to make life hard to fake
Exaggerate, you got those obstacle ways

Everytime I see your face, it's the same old picture
Best time for a changing, you're not the answer
Fake that charisma, I can see it
Live in a cold world, I can still _____


BIRD ON FIRE
------------
The bird's in the fireplace
____
Oh no, oh no
The bird's in the fireplace
____
There he goes, there he goes

The bird is in the fire now
Trying hard to survive
See him, see him
The bird is on fire now
See the bird falling down
What fun, what fun

The bird is dead now
Long live the bird now
Amen, amen
The bird was lots of fun
While the bird was falling down
Amen
No more fire
No more pain
The bird is dead
Long live his name

"Mommy, tell me another bedtime story"
