everybody's talkin bout the girl next door
everytime i see her she just knocks me on the floor
i wish she'd come over and just say hi to me
she's happy all the time
she's just like a perfect rhyme
she's got a personality
she ignores all reality
but she don't care she's a loner
why does she go on
and why does she put up with guys like me
i don't know and she don't care
she'll come on over and tell me its alright
she sees the trouble i'm in and the screaming i do at night
how does she know and where does she go
will she be around the next time i feel down
everybody's talkin bout the girl next door
everytime i see her she just knocks me on the floor
i wish she'd come over and just say hi to me
she's happy all the time
she's just like a perfect rhyme
would i be insane
or would it be a shame
if i never offered her my company
maybe she'll go maybe she wants to be alone
but then i see that twinkle
that twinkle in her eyes
everybody's talkin bout the girl next door
everytime i see her she just knocks me on the floor
i wish she'd come over and just say hi to me
everybody's talkin bout the girl next door
everybody's talkin bout the girl next door
everytime i see her she just knocks me on the floor
i wish she'd come over and just say hi to me
she's happy all the time
she's just like a perfect rhyme

little boat to china
i think i'll spend the rest of my life
out here searching for you
under the big old moon outside
and the ocean of blue
don't make me wonder why
you're so far away tonite
i want the ocean to bring you back
and be by my side
to make the world go better
and to make me feel alright
i don't need anybody else
to make me say i love you
on a little boat to china
trying very hard to find ya
and i know you're far away
but i need you here today
you'll be back inside my dreams tonite
on a little boat to china
i lay out in my boat at nite
and i count all the stars
i see all the planets align now
even venus and mars
i can't wait to see you again
i know that you'll be
my little china girl again
and she waits for me
and if i lose my sail
i'll catch a ride on a giant whale
i'll ask him to tag along
because i must carry on
as i drift into shore
i'll have to wait no more
i'll be there for my china girl
my china girl!

my only birthday
i look around and see you're not there
there's something evil in the air
what did i say to make you go
cause to this day i surely don't know
why does it have to be so hard
on my only birthday
and if i were to bring you back home
would you stay here
and if i told you i'm not alone
would you stay clear
could i tell you all the things
i meant to say to you
would you stay here and listen
listen
why does it have to be so hard
on my only birthday
and why do you want me to call
on my only birthday
i want to sing a little song
on my only birthday
could we ever get along
on my only birthday

the kid is going out tonite
he's looking for something to do
he wants to make sure it's alright
he wants to make sure you're there too
cause it wouldn't be any fun
if you were on the run once again
he'll spend all night
sittin there by himself going
upside down going upside down again
upside down again
he's upside down he's wearing a frown
upside down again
no matter what he do comes right back to you in the end
and all he really wants and he really wants is
driving in my car tonite
wondering if you will be there
i'll drive up to the party alright
and then you will give me that stare
i wonder if you'll try i don't think i'll be the guy
she says slow down be more specific
which she says with a smile
wouldn't it be terrific
if i could be your girl for a while
but then she turns around
and treats me like a clown once again
thats the way i'm hangin
always gonna be hangin

my girlfriend is an alien
she is cold to the touch
but you know i like it that way
she is here from high above
from a planet far far away
she's the girl with a million eyes
the girl with the green skin
but you know shes the one that i always loved
from the star that was sparkalin
she's not from this place
my girlfriend's an alien
she lives in outer space
my girlfriend's an alien
well at first i was scared
cause this girl was really strange
and i never dated a girl
from outside of the milky way
took me on a rocket ship we'd go to venus
she took me all the way to mars
and now we're going to visit her parents
out in the suburbs out there in the stars
it doesn't matter how far away
how far away she gets from me
i can still feel her in the room
just like a stray moon beam
and then she'll play me a love song
on her electric space guitar
and i will be sure to listen to every note
cause i will soon play along

stereo
i was thinking about you lately
i was thinking about you now
gotta get out of the city
gotta get to you somehow
gotta get away from all the buildings
away from all the people too
somethings gotta give and i gotta go
gotta get back to you
turn it into stereo! stereo!
making music in that magic flow
stereo! stereo!
flip of the switch and away we'll go
we could take a trip to the ocean
we could go to the beach
we could go anywhere you want
as long as it's out of reach
away from all of the commotion
all the pollution too
who needs all of those people
telling us what to do
i was ever so lonely
floating away in space
until our signals crossed i was alone
and then i saw your pretty face
and now we have our island
a tropical place in the sun
we won't have any use for cell phones
message in a bottle everyone
then as i was sleeping
the island gave away
it took you far across the ocean
far far away
not gonna reach me by cell phone
can't send me an email
unless you want this signal to mono
you're gonna soon set sail

don't know what i'm gonna do
i don't know what i'm gonna say
don't know what i'm gonna do
to make you want to stay
i gotta think of something more
to keep you from leaving
and walking out that door
cause you can't do that
don't do that, don't go
a no no no baby don't go
a no no no no
i guess i could have been a little nicer along the way
and watched more of the things that i did
and some of the things that i'd say
but you know that i want you
and all of the things that you do
sunshine in the sky
whenever you walk by
i need you today
so pleaase don't you go away
please don't go!
how could anybody ever think that i would just let you go
maybe they are crazy, or maybe they just don't know
cause i would miss you all the while
i would miss your ruby lips and your lovely smile
please don't go
don't go
don't go
don't go
no no no no baby don't go
no no no no baby don't go
no no no no baby don't go
no no no no baby don't go
no no no no baby don't go

when are we gonna be (back in love)
the coldest thing is when i touch your shoulder
the only thing i feel is nothing at all
wish i could get back to that feeling
maybe i could feel like i could fall
when are we gonna be back in love
it seems like it was a million years ago
when are we gonna be back in love
i do not want to see you and me go
i walk outside and watch the waves on the ocean
as they carry me out to the sea
and in the distance i see a fleeting memory
of a love of a love that used to be
doesn't matter that you're not here tonite
i carry you everywhere that i go
in my dream i'm still keeping this love alive
i carry you everywhere inside of my soul
now that i know that you'll be gone
you must do these things your way
i don't want to own you or be your slave
just wondering if you'll ever see things my way

molly magnificent
she's a little unusual and she's a little strange
but i think i love her, all the same
she'll never be angry and she'll never make me cry
she'll kick my ass at inuendo every time
she give me a little kiss and i will ask her what's that for
she said don't be silly and don't you want some more
i think she's gonna be the girl of all my dreams
but then again this girl is never what she seems
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!
i heard this song today, heard it on the radio
told me what to say, i love you
don't you want to hear that song on the radio
tells me what to say and what to do
and while that song plays
i'll be all amazed
i'll look up in the sky
as you fly by
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!
molly magnificent!

Lying In The Darkness
Lying in the darkness,
Nothing here to see
The shadow of my lonely self
Just staring back at me
Lying in the silence
Deafening to my ear
The beating of my lonely heart
The only sound I hear
Lying here remembering
The world of you and I
A love beyond forever
We knew would never die
My tears are never ending
My vision always blurred
No one listens to my prayers
My words still go unheard
You showed me what it was to love
You showed me how to feel
My love for you was endless
My life with you was real
I know I'm needed in this world
Even though you’re gone
I know I must survive this pain
I know I must be strong
But always I’ll remember that
Again one day I’ll see
The only man I’ll ever love
The only man for me...

thru bloodshot eyes
all my tomorrows will come and go and pass just like a storm
but all this pain i feel inside it still lingers on
would have loved you always held you for a million years
instead my arms are empty and my world is full of tears
since you've gone i'm a shadow of the man i used to be
there's nothing i wouldn't do in this world to bring you back to me
what right did he have to take you take you far away
i'm on a road to nowhere and i just can't find my way
feel so lost without you scared to face another waking day
at night i just stare at the walls wishing it'd all go away
thru my bloodshot eyes surrounded by walls that tell
tell the story of our lives and the way i hear your bell
thru my bloodshot eyes i know i will see you again
at the gates of heaven i will see you at the end
the sound of your sweet loving voice the feel of you so close
the love i found inside your heart
it's what i miss the most but i know i will see you again someday
someday

she is the girl
i saw her standing there
and everytime that i see her
i just wanted to be near her
and tell her i loved her so
but she could never know
she's so dang fine
i bet she looks like that all of the time
i'm too shy to know
what every good boy should know
and i'm afraid to say
it is true that i would never believe
that a girl like her and a guy like me
would ever want to chase the sun
and have some fun
she is the girl
the girl of all my dreams
she is the girl
the one that makes me want to scream
she is the girl
from the top of the world keep on running
i'll keep on running
