Utopia Parkway

Well I've been saving for a custom van
And I've been playing for a cover band
And my baby doesn't understand
Why I never turned from boy to man

I got it made
I got it down
I am the king of this island town
I'm on my own
I'm on my way
Down Utopia Parkway

And while I'm waiting for my time to come
I'm gonna get a little shopping done

Red Dragon Tatoo

Monday gonna take a ride on
The N train down to Coney Island
With the money I saved
Gonna get me engraved
Drink down a lot of Basil Hayden
Get kicked out when I can't see straight and
What an island can be on
Under the neon

Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah

Denise

I know this girl named Denise
She makes me weak at the knees
She drives a lavender Lexus
She lives in Queens but her dad lives in Texas

[sha la la la la la la]
When she holds me
[sha la la la la la la]
I can't help myself
[sha la la la la la la]
Won't you tell me
Do you love me Denise?
Whoa-oh
Do you love me Denise?
Oh baby tell me please
[do ya do ya ah-oh do ya do ya]

Hat and Feet

I'm just a hat and feet
That's all that's left of me
A spot on the sidewalk
A mark on the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet

You dropped a bomb on me
I didn't even see
Like a falling piano
From out of a window
Now I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet

I'm just a sitting duck
That ran out of luck
I'm the unhappy guy

The Valley of Malls

The King of Araby is coming home
It's bumper touching bumper on the motorway
The sun is in the sky just now
But the road is grey
They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades
Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades
The Caravan is sorry
The driver has a twenty and change

And we're leaving all the road for dead
We're getting tired of the twists and turns

Troubled Times

When you think you've found something worth holding onto
Wer reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would fill your hands
ow she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into you plans

Maybe one day soon
It will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of

Go, Hippie

Go, hippie
Skip down the old road
Don't even see me, do you at all
Some days you get so tired of hanging
Trying to deep-fry all your boredom

Big hippie
This day was so slow
And I can see you feel it too
Sometimes you wish you knew karate
Oh, the things that you could do, like

Crossing in between greens
Just because you want to
Not because you ought to

A Fine Day for a Parade

Mrs. Carver says she's sorry
She knows enough not to worry
But what does she know about crime?
Believes the town is sinking
The price of forward thinking
You stay up all night half the time

Racking your mind
Alone in the night
While all your neighbors sleep tight

Years ago she lost her daughter
Off to a sacred order
Where they got stoned and worked the earth

Amity Gardens

Angel broke her wing
Oh, you poor thing
The hum of the motor gave way to
The tick tick ticking of the clock
And the rattle of springs
The Buick's in the drive
It's good to be alive

And if you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go home
Wouldn't want to go
If you knew now what you knew then
You wouldn't want to go to Amity Gardens again

Laser Show

Oh yeah we're going to the laser show
Oh yeah we're going to the laser show
Come on baby now don't you know
We're going down to the laser show

They come from Bridgeport, Westport, Darien
Down to the Hayden Planetarium
We're gonna space out to our favorite tunes
We're going straight to the dark side of the moon

Oh yeah we're going to the laser show

Lost in Space

Have you seen that girl
With the strange look on her face?
She's a pretty little thing but she's lost
lost in space

She's in another world
Yeah she's off in adistant place
She's a pretty little thing but she's lost
Yeah she's lost in space
Yeah she's lost in space

And I can't understand a word she says
And I don't know why she's such a mess

Prom Theme

Here we are at last
The moment soon will pass
We'll go our seperate ways
We'll vanish in the haze
We'll never be the same
We'll forget each other's names
We'll grow old and lose our hair
It's all downhill from there

But tonight we'll reach for the stars
We'll rent expensive cars
And dream our dreams
Of a perfect night
And we'll sing our prom theme
Here we are at last

It Must Be Summer

It must be summer
Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But you're gone, gone, gone
I'd set out searching
But the car won't start
And it must be summer
Cause I'm falling apart

I try your sister
On the Jersey Shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's not sure
So I call your mother
On Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer

The Senator's Daughter

Hockey teams have playoff dreams
Teenage girls red magazines
No one hears the despirate screams of the techno DJ
What does he say?
He say
Sha la la la la la
He say
Sha la la la la la

I'm floating away
On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above
I'm falling in love with the senator's daughter
I'm floating away

On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above

This morning under awaking glow
The sun filled our room like december snow
Like morning through an old window
There’s a place in your head I will always know

To the same world born two of a kind
If it’s on your mind, it’ll be on mine ’cause
I know you well

Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
