Pretty much is standstill out there. Here's a little live shot of the Jersey turnpike. Major construction between exits 14 and 21. Detours resulting from the construction have made up to 45 minute delays in both north and south directions, but the good news is at the rear end the fender-bender and the jacknifed 18 and other accidents have been removed from the entrances to both the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. However, the toll passes southbound at the Garden State parkway, exit 11, is backed up all the way to Newark airport.

I used to get sick with solitude
I was always better in the multitude
But now I like it up here all alone in my ivory tower
Hi-ho at the end of my rope
I watch it all through a telescope
I think I'd have a better chance to see the pope
I got so bored with his shtick and his mini-minute dick
And all his high and mighty shit, I'm a witch
Well, well, well a wish wanna throw it in a ditch
I'm concentrating on the big laugh
You just acting like that damn old riff-raff

Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity

I'm so sick of your Jersey rap
You're a slab rat, white as a tic-tac
Why don't you take a dirt nap ?
You make me laugh and I know who I'm laughing at
Big Jersey hoo-ha
Like your style, like your freedom of speech
Like your dirty thoughts, like your Cream of Wheat
Tuesday is out
Never may be great, level down and read 'em
From the Garden state, this is a Jersey plate
Saturdayin' pretty driving in the city
Your boom is a distortion
Your act is a contortion
The perfume and pretension
Your hair an invention
Ha-ha-ha the hive is humming
I thought I heard it all but there's still more coming

Put it in, put it in
Why don't you put it in, put it in, put it in
Why don't you put it in, put it in, put it in
Why don't you put it in, put it in, put it in
Why don't you put it in, put it in, put it in
Why don't you put it in, put it in, put it in

Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity

You say your name was what ?
What kind of a name is that ?
Shooting past me on the turnpike
Should have told you to take a hike
But there was something
I don't know what
That I guess I kind of like, that nasty attitude
Mediterranean lastitude
I guess you did give me a rush
Yeah you gave me a thrill
Felt so hot and flushed
I even had to take a pill
And your pattern yeah your method yeah
The way you deliver long and slow
The way you get your percussion going
Going strong, and it's my turn to be blowing
Yeah singing my song
You think you know me ?
Think again
Who's your friend ?
Who put this freak flag in the mail ?
Why you sending me this pig tail ?
You back in jail ?
I got your post card saying how it is in that pen your in
Signed don't forget me, lot's of love from adrenaline
Give it a rest, give it a rest
You got one dimension - pure pretension
Cross the river start to shiver
Over to the big smoke, and it's no joke
I told you one more word from you about Jersey and your dead

Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity
Shakedown baby
I don't want to have to see
What you got hiding in your body cavity

Can I lick that? Uh-uh
Let me lick that, uh-uh
Can I kiss that? No
Let me kiss that
Let me lick that, come on
Let me lick it
Uh-uh it might be too sweet
It won't be too sweet

Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away
I'm floating into this inescapable bliss
Bending light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
I'm needing you, I just don't care anymore

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Fear of flight
I'm so afraid of heights
Why are you basked in white
I'm walking but my feet are never touching the ground

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the L 'til the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
Shakin' your feathers all over the place
You woke up face down on St. Mark’s Avenue
What a pity for you

What a pity for you
Good boys

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Good boys [What a pity for you]
Good boys always follow [What a pity for you]

La-la-la

Was that an invitation ?
Can you explain, I'm so impatient
Hey rise to the occasion
Can you explain the reason why you took a second look
Second look

I saw you once, met you twice
Ooh your presence feels so nice
You're silent, get your tongue untied
When then night-nurse tells you “Open wide”
You’ve gotta say uh-huh before I come undone

You got a sweet expression,
Is that the spot that I should press on,
Hey tell me can you hear me
You gotta raise your voice ‘cause the music's loud
You gotta shout
Spit it out

It seems that you've got a quiet way
Eyes that tell what you can't say
I sure would like to read your mind,
You're speechless and I try and try
You’ve gotta say uh-huh before I come undone

Right from the start your kissing lips are buttoned up
If you just say something I won't tell you to shut it up

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

It's like an application,
Filling in the open spaces
‘Cause I've been overtaken
And I'm so sick of waitin’ one two three
Answer me
Answer me

[On fire, I'm on fire]
[On fire, I'm on fire]

As sure as anything, as sure as I can be
That 99%, pure as ivory
I caught the scent, followed the smell of it
Couldn't ignore it
Hey why'd you pick on me ?

What's that pretty flower I see ?
Tall and wild it waves at me
Mother said it's just a weed
Golden Rod, Golden Rod

Growing wild, not in the city
Gave me an allergy
Hey my reaction's what's gonna happen ?
It gets no help from me

I can't explain it
Maybe I shouldn't try to
That old genetic code had a hold on me
We go inside it, ran headlong into it
And mothers' warning useless to me

What's that pretty flower I see ?
Tall and wild it waves at me
Mother said it's just a weed
Golden Rod, Golden Rod

Another blonde, not from the city
Gave me an allergy
Well you could see me drinking the poison
Taking it happily

What's that pretty flower I see ?

It gets no help from
Well you will see me drinking the poison
Taking it happily
Running wild
Running wild
Another blonde, not from the city
Drinking the poison
Taking it happily
Not from the city
Golden Rod
Golden Rod
Golden Rod

Golden Rod
Golden Rod

In another life when the gods were crazy
And the measurement of time was the ending seasons
And maybe we believed there was anger in the storm
Sometimes the sky reminds me

And if you think that's wild there's my dream of Egypt
I'm the colour of the Nile, you're a Roman soldier
It's small world after all but it's older than you think
Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a lifetime 'til you find me
There are times

Mmm I've been this way before
Mmm I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside me

Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a lifetime 'til you find me
There are times

Mmm I've been this way before
Mmm I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside me

In another life when the gods were crazy
And complaining all the time and the people look at me
The volcano wants a bribe
And I'm still afraid of fire
Sometimes your eyes remind me
I don't know why
I'll wait a lifetime 'til you find me
There are times

Mmm I've been this way before
Mmm I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside me

Mmm I've been this way before
Mmm I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside me

I know what I'm made of by what’s inside of me
Maybe science, maybe giants, maybe just a mystery
Maybe the mother of invention is really intensity
And baby when they made you I was the background melody
A partner to the feeling, now you’re a part of me

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me
For me

Don’t think I'm fantasizing, I didn’t make it up
Lots of people tell me things, things about their love
How the music that was playing low, how they made you in the afterglow
I didn’t see ‘em do the body rock, I didn’t feel the aftershock
But baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one to dance
The one who takes a chance
Be the only one who’s real
The only one who feels
Be the only one who loves

You may think I'm egocentric but I'm only centred some of the time
I want you to remember, I wanna be the tune you can’t get out of your mind

I wasn’t there to see the pressure drop, I didn’t do the mom and pop
Baby when they made you I was the background melody
Was it the lady or the tiger? who was the bottom? who was the top?
Oh baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me
For me

I'm hot as a fire burning bright
Feel as empty as air
There is no sense of balance
In the howling wind that calls to me
I can feel it everywhere but it's invisible to me

Distractions and spirit find me floating in a magnetic sea
The nights are phosphorescent
And the days are beautiful and bright
Until whispering mist
It comes falling down on me

Oh there's fire burning
Looking for the magic
In the night time all this
Brings the magic back to me

I'm looking for the magic in the places I remember it to be
It's in the night time alleys
Winding through my deepest memory
And just one simple thought brings the magic back to me

Oh there's fire burning
Looking for the magic
In the night time all this
Brings the magic back to me

I'm looking for the magic in the places I remember it to be
And just one simple thought brings the magic back to me
And just one simple thought brings the magic back to me

Just when our number's up
We smashed the loving cup
It spills out everywhere
It simply isn't fair
We lit up fireflies
We kissed on New Year’s Night
We changed the century
All those romantic things
We changed the light to low
It made our spirits glow
If it were up to me
I'd never let you go

So if by chance you should agree
Ooh tonight we’ll keep it real [Ooh-ooh]
Tonight we put an end to the end
And just go on and on [Ooh-ooh]

We wrote our name in lights
Made music every night
Heat waves and rhapsody
Burn in my memory
We changed the light to low
It made our spirits glow
If it were up to me
I'd never let you go

So if by chance you should agree
Ooh tonight we’ll keep it real [Ooh-ooh]
Tonight we put an end to the end
And just go on and on [Ooh-ooh]

Tonight we’ll put an end to the end
And just go on and on [Ooh-ooh]
Tonight we’ll put an end to the end
And just go on and on, on and on and on [Ooh-ooh]
And on and on and on
To the end, the end, the end
We’ll try to put the end to end to end
End the end
End to the end, the end, the end, the end
End to end
End to end

I saw you taping thunder from your balcony
Saving the sounds
Don't trust your memory
I saw you cage the lightning
Hold it up so you can see
Through the open windows looking down at me

Let's wake the roosters
Night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk years of
Before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters
Nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters
Hola Joe

Catch the sunrise in a glass
If you turn your back you'll miss it
Coming up real fast
Set your trap for night time
You lie down in the dark
Listen to the thunder, listen to my heart

Let's wake the roosters
Night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk years of
Before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters
Nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters
Hey-ho, hola Joe

Caught you in the rain
It took you by surprise
I'll take you home and dance with you until your clothes are dry
Place your finger on my pulse
I'll keep the sight of you
Keep it nice and close
And when I feel the breath of Spring on my face
I know the silent sound of you won't be erased

Let's wake the roosters
Night time's gonna go
We'll walk and talk years of
Before the light begins to show
Let's wake the roosters
Nice to know you Joe
Let's wake the roosters
Hey-ho, hola Joe

Fate points the finger
It is a double-barrelled ringer
You're the one, you're the one
That's been touched by the singer
And then in the night, cold as ice
Hi-five you're a co-ed mingler
He leaves no marks in spite of sparks
And so touch has become the winner

Touch is the Tingler
Making me itch
Making me twitch
Touch is the Tingler
Controlling my mind
Climbing my spine

Fate points the finger
What you gonna bring me
A pretty note from your sweet throat
That's been touched by the Tingler
But in the night, cold as ice
Hi-five co-ed mingler
It leaves no marks in spite of sparks
And so touch has become the Tingler

Touch is the Tingler
Making me itch
Making me twitch
Touch is the Tingler
Controlling my mind
Climbing my spine

Fate points the finger
It is a double-barrelled ringer
You're the one, you're the one
That's been touched by the singer
And then in the night, cold as ice
Hi-five, a co-ed mingler
He leaves no marks in spite of sparks
And so touch has become the Tingler

Touch is the Tingler
Touch is the Tingler
Touch is the Tingler

No explanation
No words describe
Serving sentence in your head
You murder time
Some waiting station
One endless night
Take the empty trains to nowhere
In your idle mind

And sometimes I feel like the last one on the planet
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Don't get so near to me
Don't disappear on me
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]

Here comes the morning
Venetian blind
I'll do the haunting
I'm killing time
It's dark on Broadway
It's kind of like
Walking down the lonely streets
In your idle mind

And sometimes I feel like the last one on the planet
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Don't get so near to me
Don't disappear on me
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Don't get so near to me
Don't disappear on me
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]

Don't get so near to me
Don't disappear on me
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Don't get so near to me
Don't disappear on me
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
Sometimes I feel like the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
I’m the only one, I’m the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]
I’m the only one, I’m the last one in the world
[The only one, you’re the only one]

[The only one, you’re the only one]
[The only one, you’re the only one]
[The only one, you’re the only one]

Dull afternoon, pale evening sun
I'm as tense as a high noon run
I'm gonna cross that bridge when I come to it
Getting over, stepping up
I'm at the end of a stretch
Wearing high heels that fit
Crossing Diamond Bridge

The street was straight, straight and narrow
The bridge was not
I'm gonna burst my seams
Know what temptation means
Days were old and nights got hot

Feel the difference, it feels fine
It fills my mind field with friendly fire
I'm not throwing my pearls to swine
I'm crossing Diamond Bridge

I don't wanna go there but I can't stay here
Just a shiny baby in the bright light's glare
If I cross that line, break the ties that bind
Stepping over wrong and right
Gonna raise the stakes
I'm staying wide awake
Crossing over, growing up

I feel the difference and it feels fine
It fills my mind field with friendly fire
And melts the ice off my desire
I'm crossing Diamond Bridge

The bliss of the wild
The dark heat of your body
Black in the blackness around me
The fallacy of a dream
The bliss of the wild
The dark raging tide
Deep as the sea
Deep as the sea inside of me

I offer myself to the danger in you
To your fierce electricity
You're the fire in my burning soul
I shake in the wilderness above
I'll always be back
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth

Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been
Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been

The bliss of the wild
And it's a matter of flesh and love
Your warm breath on my face
Your skin drinks my soul
The bliss of the wild
The sound of your blood flowing over me
The irresistable colour of the moon
And they make it by your love

How can I feel so free when I'm so bound to you?
To the power of our imaging
To the madness of our passion
To the wilderness of our love
I'll always come back
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth

Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been
Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been

The bliss of the wild
The danger is electric
You're the fire in my soul
I shake in the wilderness
I feel your pull like the moon
The galaxy is a dream

Desire brings me back
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Back to the earth
Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been
Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been
Desire brings me back
Back to where I've always been
Desire, desire
Desire brings me back

All of our days we cry out for love
And we cry for the times that we lost in all
When we had it all, all our hopes and our dreams
All of our days we cry out for love
And we try to create it again, again
To deny the loss and to leave it behind

Sing sweet songs of love to me now
So the night will become one of love
Sing sweet songs of love to me now
For I need to know you're mine

All of our days we long for a chance
To be lost in a trance of a love we share
A romantic love like no other before
All of our days we live on the run
But we try to believe that it's just begun
That we'll have the time to enjoy every day

Sing sweet songs of love to me now
So the night will become one of love
Sing sweet songs of love to me now
For I need to know you're mine

I love you, you know that I do
And forever I'll sing just for you
Let me know you love me tonight
Let me hold you in my arms

Sing sweet songs of love to me now
So the night will become one of love

Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away
I'm floating into this inescapable bliss
Bending light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
I'm needing you, I just don't care anymore

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win

Fear of flight
I'm so afraid of heights
Why are you basked in white
I'm walking but my feet are never touching the ground

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the L 'til the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
Shakin' your feathers all over the place
You woke up face down on St. Mark’s Avenue
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
Good boys

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
