Get it on

 I had to get up to get down to start all over again

Head on down to the basement and shout

Kick those white mice and black dogs out

Kick those white mice and baboons out

Kick those baboons and other motherfuckers out

And get it on get it on get it on

On the day that you got born

They had to dig him from the ground

They chipped him from the frozen snow

They dug his monkey fingers

But he had no where to go

They dug his pink hair curlers

They dug his sequined gown

They dug his Stratocaster

They dug his pornographic crown

He's got some words of wisdom!

GET IT ON GET IT ON ON THE DAY THAT YOU WERE BORN

He crawled out of the ooze

He defied evolution

He had green flippers and sang the blues

He caused a revolution

He got in the British weeklies

He got in the dailies too

He drank panther piss

And fucked the girls you're probably married to

He's got some words of wisdom GET IT ON GET IT ON

On the day that you were born

You gotta do The Vaughan

Yeah, papa's down

Sweets is sweet

Tex is on

Then one day he went away

His neighbour claimed he'd shot him

If he hadn't of dissappeared

The Taxman would have got him

Yeah but before I leave

I call out from the storm

For those who gave their lives

So we could get it on

GET IT ON GET IT ON GET IT ON 

On the day that you got born!

Man in the moon

My daddy was an astronaut

That's what I was often taught

My daddy went away too soon

Now he's living on the moon

Hang on to me people

We're going down

Down among the fishes in an absence of sound

It's the presence of distance and it's floating in time

It's lack and it's longing and it's not very kind

Send it scratching in this rented room

Scratching and atapping to the man in the moon

About all the things that I've been taught

My daddy was an astronaut

Electric Alice

Don't the stars look good tonight?

Thought Electric Alice in the pale moonlight

Don't the moon look big and bright?

Thought Electric Alice in the pale moonlight

I thing I hear a baby cry

Thought Electric Alice as she passed by

Makes me feel like I'm a little child again?

Thought Electric Alice in the silver rain

Worm Tamer

You know they call my girl the Snake Charmer

Here she comes rising with the yellow dawn

You know I would do nothing to ever harm her

I guess that I've just loved you for too long

 

 

You know they call my girl the Worm Tamer

She cracks lightning like a viper's tongue

She leaves me every night and who could blame her

I guess that I've just loved you for too long

For too long!

You know they call my girl the Serpent Wrangler

Eating inchworms down by the bill-a-bong

I spent all last night trying to untangle her

I guess that I've loved you for too long

 

You know they call my baby the Mambo Rider

I cry storms of tears till the rising of the dawn

You know I'm only happy when I'm inside her

I guess that I've just loved you for too long

 

Well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster

Two great big humps and then I'm gone

But actually I am the Abominable Snowman

I guess that I've loved you for too long

For too long!

When my baby comes

Thank God we don't get all our hurts at once

That would be a really bad thing

Thank God we don't get all our olds at one time

--Listen to me talking in my hospital gown!--

Best thing about this place are the showers

Worst thing is the visiting hours

--Hey, careful of the carpet!--

Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?

She got hands as white as milk

And weaves a web of spider's silk that glistens

When my baby comes

There is an ancient question behind her eyes

That I can't even begin to describe

When my baby comes

Is there anyone out there wasted their lives?

On booze drugs husbands wives and making money?

When my baby comes

Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?
