1. Tattoo

Tattoo, tattoo

I got Elvis on my elbow
When I flex, Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
And she hulas when I walk

Speaking cherry red
Screaming 'lectric green
Purple mountain's majesty
Really talk to me
Talk to me, baby

Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic

Best believe that needle hurts you
Best to see these true colors
Than to follow one of your false virtues

Little secret to make you think:
Why is the crazy stuff we never say poetry in ink?
Speaking dayglo red, explodo pink
Purple mountain's majesty
Show me you, I'll show you me

Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Put a spell on me
Hey, hey, hey

Uncle Danny had a coal tattoo
He fought for the Union, some of us still do
On my shoulder is the number of the chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win

(Everybody!)
Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic. Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold of me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Put a spell on me

(Tattoo, tattoo)
I'm in love with your
(Tattoo, tattoo)
I'll show me, show me yours
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Let me take a look at you, woah
(Tattoo, tattoo)

2. She's The Woman

A little low on cash
But I'm high on luck
I wanna be your knight in shining pickup truck

With a Chevy for my summer home
Let's get the party started
It's looking like the city towed my other apartment

She got a doorbell sign that said:
"Bring it or don't ring it."

She's the woman (Go on)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

Fate is my pimp
But she was cool
Said if you're doin' business with me, honey
What does that make you?

Some Casablanca gin joint?
You're a nervous wreck
Your I.Q. plummets fourteen points
Her thunder thong around your neck

The song ain't dirty
It's really just the way we sing it
(Sing it)

She's the woman (Sing it)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman, ho

She wanted something to regret
Tomorrow morning
This suburban garage-a-trois was worth exploring

Yeah dreams come true
But it remains to be seen
By the time mine usually do it's no longer me

She got a doorbell sign:
"You better bring it, or don't ring it."

She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

3. You And Your Blues

Ain't no Red House over yonder
No Stormy Monday waits for you
Ain't no Midnight Train To Georgia
And I'm not looking for the truth

And I'll tell you what I'm getting rid of next
You and your blues
Yes I am

Your bad mood's permanent
Communication Breakdown
Like watching someone reinvent
Their 19th Nervous Breakdown

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered
'Cause of you and your blues

Ain't goin' down to no Crossroads
Ain't gonna Dust No Broom
No Evil Woman got a hold on me
Ain't Going To Heaven anytime soon

Your bad mood's permanent
Communication Breakdown
Like watching someone reinvent
Their 19th Nervous Breakdown

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered

I'm done with coexisting
This is heavy lifting
No more growing codependent over you
And baby while we at it, i've had it
With you and your blues

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered

Woman, you suffer from a color
And I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered
Now everybody's suffered
'Cause you and your blues

4. China Town

Headless body in a topless bar
Warring clans in lowered cars
A buck is still a buck in Shanghai
And a buck is all you earn
A great night for all concerned

Steel fingers play a deadly song
Whole lotta Shakespeare going on
And on and on

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Wooh

Heroes aren't born, they're cornered
And this corner is where we write the story
Two tribes warring
Downtown after hours
The best to you each morning

Can't survive and think to win
Drugged into sin
Next episode begins and begins
And begins and begins

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town

It's all happening downtown
Welcome to my town, my town, my town

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Welcome to my town, my town, my town

5. Blood And Fire

You can always tell the winners
Saints and the sinners
Down at the starting line
I'm a lucid vision
Of the unforgiven
I'm your wave tossed guy

King size repercussions
Trouble by the dozens
The stakes have never been higher
Come back when you're younger
'Cause I can feel the thunder
1-800-IT'S-TIME

Ooh yeah!
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

Now look at all of the people
Here tonight

It's a world of fools
That's just what's expected
None of them know it
Or even suspect it
God must love the lazy,
Shiftless and the crazy
Put so many in line

Ooh yeah
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

Now look at all of the people
Here tonight

Forgotten empires
Lost victories long past
Every time I bloomed again
I thought it was the last
And then something crazy happens and Boom!
I'm doing the victory dance

Told ya I was coming back
Say you missed me
Say it like ya mean it

You can always tell the winners
Saints and the sinners
Down at the starting line

Ooh yeah
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

6. Bullethead

My karma just ran over your dogma.
I can feel your pain.
If everything is coming your way
you're facing the wrong lane.

Bullethead,
bomb the moon until you're crazy dead.
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
got a different kind of true.
Bullethead,
yes you are in danger.
I drive just like you!

How many roads must a man walk down
before he admits he's lost.
And do you really, really drive this way
just to piss me off?

Boldly going nowhere,
trouble busting through.
Yeah, I'm rolling slowly
but I'm ahead of you.

Bullethead,
bomb the moon until you're crazy dead.
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
got a different kind of true.
Bullethead,
yes you are in danger.
I drive just like you!

Well I'm a lovin' the horn baby.
Well I'm a bullethead.
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come on baby
Well I'm a bullethead.

Hurt me!

Traffic is giving you trouble?
I can feel your pain.
No light at the end of the tunnel
due to budget constraints.

Some days you're the dog,
some days you're the hydrant.
If everything is going your way
you're facing the wrong lane.

Bullethead,
bomb the moon until you're crazy dead.
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
got a different kind of true.
Bullethead,
yes you are in danger.
I drive just like you!

7. As Is

Yesterday I was a bum and broke.
Today I am a star and broke.
In this town that's called progress,
that's how we do biz.

I've been rich and I've been poor.
Rich was better, totally better.
(It) requires a degree of acceptance
as in: "must accept as is."

Drive my search engine home.
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome.
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
the day is dunzo
let's have some funzo.
Your's very truly,
-As Is.

That's how it goes...

How expensive he was
or what was he worth?
Ain't no Brinks truck
following no hearse.

Drive my search engine home.
Droppe, chopped, Alabama chrome.
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
the day is dunzo
let's have some funzo.
Your's very truly,
-As Is.

This next part should really confuse things.
Everybody let's stay focused.

Love of the craft
or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day.
We don't save up.

A little more volume in the headphones please...

Unspoiled by progress,
"As Is" is how I follow through.
It's not who you squeeze
but who returns once again to squeeze you no doubt!
Love 'em all I says.
Let Cupid sort 'em out!

Drive my search engine home.
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome.
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
the day is dunzo
let's have some funzo.
Your's very truly,
-As Is.

Love of the craft
or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day
We don't save up.

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

8. Honeybabysweetiedoll

Honey baby sweetie doll,
you're the one that I want
or I don't want one at all.
Honey baby, my heart's aflame.
I'm all fucked up and you're to blame.

Honey baby sweetie girl,
let me count the ways you rock my world.
Stone soul sister,
soccer mom.
Muchacha, amiga,
cherry bomb.

Baby lover,
angel faces.
Satin doll,
You straight up aces.

I'm a bad little cowboy,
send me to your room.
Let's get started,
let's not stop soon.
I roll like the ocean
when the moon is full.
I'm a face grenade
with the sex-pin pulled.

Baby lover,
angel faces.
Satin doll,
You straight up aces.

Honey baby Hampton's bitch.
Kinda lost, sorta rich.
I dig both and I don't care which.
You're gonna make me crash
you red hot Florida trailer trash.
Now that's a switch.

9. The Trouble With Never

You often wonder,
you wanna know.
How deep does
the rabbit hole go?

I know you never thought about it
but ask yourself later:
When you turn on your stereo
does it return the favor?

I gotta know!

That's the trouble with never,
(It) sure seems like a mighty long time.
That's the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

Hello!

Every Einstein's assigned
a Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.
Any old fool could see,
never even wonder.

Yeah we could come together.
I will call for you.
Hey, never's good for me.
How's never sound to you?

1-800-Tell-Me-Baby!

That's the trouble with never,
(It) sure may be a mighty long time.
That's the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

Yeah!
Level with me baby!
Talk to me!

This could
damage your reputation:
my wicked wicked ways,

but maybe I just will
since you put it that way.

Delusions of eloquence?
You never can say.

You wanna play
the game?
You can't quit when you get played.

"Mistakes make people."
Isn't that what people say?

Let's un-plan the moment,
dance the night away.

Selective amnesia
is only a heartbeat away.

A simple question
concerning time:
"Suppose you wait forever
and then you change your mind?"

Oh, No!

That's the trouble with never,
sure could be a mighty long time.
That's the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

When was it?
When was it?
Ah, text me baby!

When baby?
Tell me!
When was the last time baby?
Show me!

10. Outta Space

Need no polar bear to scare me,
no Eskimo to share with me his fate.

Woo! We outta space

No blog-o-sphere to sell me.
No dolphin needs to tell me.
No starving kid
to make the case.

Counter blast, interstellar facial full.
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, Outta space
Outta space, Outta space

Eighty acres of one stop shopping
has somewhat changed the place.

Woo! We outta space

I do not refuse it.
I am guilty, I do use it.
I am the reason
we outta space.

Counter blast, interstellar facial full.
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, Outta space
Outta space, Outta space

Danger rides the web tonight.
Burst mode dynamite.
Spinning up my Facebook page
and I'll ride out towards the outer maze.

The future ain't what it used to be.
Time to change my galaxy in case
we outta space!

Trouble-free Earth despocrats made
Mother Nature piss her pants and when
That's human way.

Counter blast, interstellar facial full.
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, Outta space
Outta space, Outta space

11. Stay Frosty

I journeyed to the North
to hear what the preacher said.
He said, "Your arms too short to box with God.
Learn these words instead."

Gold tooth reflecting.
My advice is free.
There's a trick to Christian values
and it's compulsory.

Stay frosty.
That's what the preacher man said.
Stay frosty.
His words still racket in my head.

Can't control your future,
can't control your friends
in a world without end.

Stay frosty.
Hey yeah!
Stay frosty now.
Alright!
Woo!

Uh,uh,uh...(repeat)

And I traveled to the South.
The ancient rabbi appeared to me,
voice heavy with the sands of time,
he made me see:

"Same as Kabbalah Dave, but for you it's free."
God guides us on our journey
but careful with those feet.

Stay frosty
in a world without end.
Stay frosty
like the ancient immortal said.

Don't want 'em to get your goat?
Don't show 'em where it's hid.
And that's just what I did.

Stay Frosty!
(Woo look out!)
Stay Frosty now!
(Use my hand I won't look)
Uh oh!

Uh,uh,uh...

I journeyed to the East
and I struggled to stay afloat.
A solitary Buddhist monk
threw me a rope.

Looked me in the eye
said, "Don't make me say this twice:
you want to be a monk?
you gotta cook a lot of rice."

Stay frosty
in a world without end.
Stay frosty.
Work hard at this my friend.

Look beyond the kung-fu fighting.
God is love
but get it in writing.

Stay frosty.
Stay frosty now.

I wandered out west
to the California coast
where the folks who know about frostiness,
stay frostiest the most.

My brand new landlord
proposed me a toast:
my "West Coast Host"

Stay frosty.
Chant it like a mantra...
Stay frosty.
and there's nothin' you can't handle.

Far and wide,
far as you ramble,
trust in Allah
but tie up your camel.

Stay frosty.

12. Big River

Wind at my back,
face in the sun.
All my big ideas done.

Big river
rollin'.

Listen to a sea shell
you can hear the sea.
Listen to a beer glass
that river belongs to me.

Big river
rollin'.

There's a river runs here.
When it rains we flood.
Co-op City first 3 floors
of Charles River mud.

Big river
rollin'.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin'.
Oh, yeah!

Land's edge,
where the East begins,
the debris meets the sea
when the tide comes in.

Oh, look out!

Look both ways now.

Big river
rollin'.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin'.
Oh, yeah!

Big river.
Big river.
Oh, yeah!

13. Beats Workin'

Here today, gone later today.
I've been reading what the bloggers say.
How about a great big slice for me?
Otherwise or professionally.

Beats workin'.
Startin' up in my feet.
Goes to workin'
on the rest of me.

Live this life of luxury
sho-nuff beats workin' for me.
Kid'll land on his feet
if he don't land on his seat.

This beats workin' baby
'cause I'm red hot
baby like it or not.

Don't you know that
this beats workin' baby
'cause I'm red hot
baby like it or not.

One empty floor
stands between the stage
and the welfare door.

Heads or tails
of the same bread.
Coin of the realm
just like the man said

Beats workin'.
Starting up all in my feet.
Goes to workin'
on the rest of me.

Got a feelin' all in my head.
Try to do it
like the good book said.
Kid'll land on his feet
if he don't land on his head.

This beats workin' baby
'cause I'm red hot
baby like it or not.

Don't you know that
this beats workin' baby
'cause I'm red hot
baby like it or not.

This beats workin' baby.
This beats workin' baby.
This beats workin' baby
'cause I'm red hot
baby like it or not.
