It's hard being a man
Living in a garbage pail
My landlady called me up, oh
She tried to hit me with a mop

I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more, oh
I can't stand it any more more

But if baby would just come back, it'd be all right
Yeah, if baby would just come back, it would be all right
Come on, baby

I live with thirteen dead cats
A purple dog that wears spats
They're all living out in the hall
And I can't stand it any more

I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more

But if baby would just come back, it'd be all right
Oh, if baby would just come back, it would be all right
Be all right, now

Come on, baby

I'm tired of living all alone, yeah
Nobody ever calls me on the phone
But when things are getting better
I just play my music louder

I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it...

When you're in a dream
And you think you've got your problems all nailed down
Pieces of the scheme
Seem to rattle up and to rattle down

And when you start to fall
And those footsteps they start to fade

Then you know you're going down
Yeah, you're falling all around
And you know you're going down
For the last time

When you're in the air
And you're thinking you'll drift off into the rest
Your friends politely advise
Hey look you're pushing too hard
And perhaps you need a rest

And when you start to fall
And all those footsteps they start to fade

Then you know you're going down
Yeah, you're crashing upside down
And you know you're going down
For the last -

Time's not what it seems
It just seems longer, when you're lonely in this world
Everything it seems
Would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl

Yeah, you're falling all around
Yeah, you're crashing upside down
Oh, oh, and you know you're going down
For the last time

I got horrors in my luney tunes
I got dreams and you do, too
I got ten wheel drive, pick you up into your ears

I got retake carbine and in my eyelids gear
I got no one to love and no one to fear

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat

I got dimes in my shoes, real nice
I got bells that are laid on ice
I got dreams, let me mix it with a little gin

I got cruel when I told you woman, I'm hard
But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat

You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat
You better loose yourself, mama
And rock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast, now don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
Ah - ha - ha

Lisa says that it's all right
When she meets me at midnight
Lisa says that she has her fun
And she will do it with just about anyone

Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says,

Lisa says that she is on the run
Looking for a special one
Lisa says that every time she makes it straight
She knows her heart will break

Lisa says, ...

Looking for a party, some action
Gone to make it feel ok
But what do you mind
Where the time must come on down
Look in

Lisa says, ...

In Berlin, by the wall
You were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong
Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day

Oh, you're right and I'm wrong
You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day

In a small, small cafe
We could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

Don't forget, hire the vet
He hasn't had much fun yet
It was very nice
Hey honey, it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong
Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
You're right, oh, and I'm wrong
You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day, one sweet day

One sweet day
One sweet day, oh, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby, baby, one sweet day ...

When I think of all the things I've done
And I know that it's only just begun
Those smiling faces
You know, I just can't forget them
But I love you

When I think of all the things I've seen
And I know that it's only the beginning
You know, those smiling faces
I just can't forget them
But for now I love you

Just for a little while
Oh baby, just to see you smile
Just for a little while

When I think of all the things I've done
And I know, that it's only just begun
Oh, smiling faces, Jesus
You know, I can't forget them
But for now, I love you
Watch this minute, baby
Now I love you
At least for now
I love you

I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghises Khan suit
And his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was makin' a new sound track
And then we spoke of kids on the coast
And different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes,
Then we spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine

I was speakin' to Bill who was given to pills and small racing cars
He had given them up since his last crack-up had carried him too far
Then we spoke of the movies and verse
And the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse,
Then we spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine

Ah, she's a wild child, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone
Without a house or a home and then she asked you, please,
Hey, baby, can I have some spare change
Oh, can I break your heart ?

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions, how they made her ill
But life is the theater, is certainly fraught
With many spills and chills
But she'd come down after some wine
Which is what happens most of the time
Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes
Till we spoke of Loraine, ah, always back to Lorraine

I was talking to Ed who's been reported dead by mutual friends
He thought it was funny that I had no money to spend on him
So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
And sang of our lives and our dreams
And how things can come apart at the seams
And we talk of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine

She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child, oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street, oh, livin' all alone
Without a house or a home and then she asked you, please,
Oh, baby, can I have some spare change
Now can I break your heart?"

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

Life isn't what is seems, I'm forever drifting into dreams
Such a sad affair, to always be drifting into air

But it's not what you say or you do
That makes me feel like I am falling
It's things that we've both been through
That makes me feel like I am upside down

And love makes you feel ten foot tall
Yes, love makes you feel ten foot tall

Just a funny thing, I'm forever drifting into dreams
Just not the proper thing, to always be drifting into dreams

But it's not what you say or you do
That makes me feel like I am falling
It's things that we've both been through
That makes me feel like I am upside down

And love makes you feel ten foot tall
Yes, love makes you feel ten foot tall

And it sounds like this

Looking for another chance for someone else to be
Looking for another place to ride into the sun

Ride into the sun, ride into the sun
Ride into the sun ride into the sun
Where -

Everything seems so pretty
But if you're tired and you're sick of the city
Remember that it's just a flower, made out of clay
Oh, the city

Where everything seems so dirty
But if you're tired and you're filled with self-pity
Remember that you're just one more person who's there

It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city, oh - oh - oh
It's hard to live in the city, oh - wow - wow
It's hard to live in the city

Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves where've they been?

Don't swim tonight my love
The sea is mad my love
It's known to drive men crazy
Now come that murder seeks
The castle is dead and reeks
The madness can make you lazy

Here come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the rocks that have been here
Centuries or more

Down by the sea

Here come the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves where've they been ?

Castles glowing at night
Towers above out fright
What did happen here
Now comes it in my head
I serve you bread on a pledge
Think of your mouth for dinner

But here come the waves
Down by the sea
Washing the eyes of the men
Who have died

Down by the sea

Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
