I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs

She's bin lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

When I was born a little premature
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Momma just couldn't take no more
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Had no time to learn to cry
Goodbye mama got to fly
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Entered school when I was two
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
P H D'd that afternoon

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Never entered any sports
I didn't look too good in shorts
Got divorced when I was four
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz

No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay let 'er rip

You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

When I did lots of traveling
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Parts of me unraveling
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
The army then rejected me
Said I had two flat feet
Wore them out when I was three
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Too bad there ain't ten of you
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Then I'd show you what I'd do
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
I could cheat on five of you
And be faithful to you two
But there's only one of you
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz

No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay let 'er rip

You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
You gotta beat the clock

Have you been broken hearted once or twice?
If it's yes, how did you feel at his first lies?
If it's no, you need this good advice:
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him, aaaah
Have you ever been restless in your bed?
And so lonely that your eyes became wet?
Let me tell you that one thing...
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
No-no-no
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him, aaaah
No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no

US bombs cruisin' overhead
There goes my love rocket red

Shoot it up

Blaster bomb, bomb, bomb, ahead
Multi millions still unfed
Amondo teeno givin' head

Hold me shake me, I'm all shook up
Psycho maniac interblend, shoot it up
Now shoot it up

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away

Il était un soir 
Il était une fois 
Quelque chose et moi 
Quelque chose et moi.
Il était un soir 
Il était une fois 
Quelque chose et moi 
Quelque chose et moi.
Un signe un espoir
Une image une voix
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Et je n'étais plus seul au monde
Et je n'avais plus peur ni froid
Et je vivais chaque seconde
Et j'étais partout à la fois
Et une araignée de légende
Tisse le ciel de ma nuit
Comme je suis heureux dans ma chambre
Je ne sais pourquoi ni pour qui ?
Je vais et je viens
Mal et bien sous mon toit
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Et je n'attends rien
Ni des dieux ni des rois
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Comme un prisonnier s'émerveille
A regarder vivre une fourmi
J'ai reçu de bonnes nouvelles
Il paraît que ça va bien la vie.
J'ai envie d'ouvrir la fenêtre
Pour me voir passer dans la rue
Savoir si j'ai changé de tête
Revoir ce que je ne suis plus.
la la la la....
Et je n'étais plus seul au monde
Et je n'ai plus peur ni froid
La nuit ne sera plus très longue
Oui, je sais que tu existeras.
Il était un soir
Il était une fois

Hey creepos I'm talking to you
I've got a message to give to you
You've got a problem we know
But there's something you oughta know

Standing there across the thoroughfare
The stand and stare with that gormless air
So funny to see how dumb some grown men can be
An unwanted weed a dying reed
Left to consider life as it passes by
Ignoring your calling ignoring your taunting
Ignoring your feelings of self hate and loathing
How empty and pointless your life must seem

See them standing see them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face

Stick and stones make break bones
But these taunting crones only cause inner groans
We ignore all your calling ignore all your taunting
Ignore all your problems of self hate and loathing
Somebody should show them where to go

See them standing see them staring
See them wearing that same creepy face
Standing there in the thoroughfare
They stand and stare with that gormless air
Does what you want understand scare and make you mad
Resentful and envious don't you disgust yourself?
So funny to see how pathetic some men can be

See them standing see them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face
Ignore all their calling ignore all their taunting
Ignore all their faking their self hate and loathing
