Travelling through a (mis) shaded blue where circles
are spiralling in/out of view.
The lips of my lover condemn all the fools.
If they don't listen I'll break them in two.

I know a place where we'll blister.
We can go now. It won't matter.
Like a femme fatale. 
What do you say now?
These years are ours.

You know how to whistle don't you?
You just put your lips together and blow.

Mishaded

Quiet now, don't make a sound. 
Run and play your games.
Learn your letters A-Z. 
Dress yourself for bed.

Quiet now, you must present 
a cheery disposition.
Sit up straight and pay attention 
to this dreary lesson.

Quiet dear; adults are talking. 
Don't get in the way.
Kiss goodnight, say your prayers, and don't forget my name.

I should be the kind of guy who opens doors and waits.
I should be the one who always compliments your taste. 

Alphabet

A gem who's ever-ready in a bad scrape?
That's a detective.
I'll tell you where our little sweety is; she's waiting there for me.

I never thought you'd make it on four wheel brakes.
Father sent me here to tell you we've made a terrible mistake.

I'll take charge of this case. This is a job for the police.

Father sent me here to tell you we've made a terrible mistake.

My friends tell me that I shouldn't lie but I always do.
They all try to see through my disguise but they're always fooled. 

How To Be A Detective

When you buckled under sticks and stones,
And we got lost just like you wanted to;
Then you said, 'I'm not that kind of girl',
We fought and fought just like you wanted to.

We stared and stared until you looked away.
Then you said, 'I'm not that kind of girl'. 


Kind of Girl

Thinking about all the friends that I used to know. 
Thinking about all the places I couldn't go.
They all surround me, but I don't know anything.

I once knew a girl who once knew a girl who does her hair real good.
She don't dance (and I can't dance too well).
That's the price we pay.

If you want to see. If you want to know. If you want to leave is it gonna be a residual place?

I know I've seen your face. I've seen the way you look away.
I'll do anything even if it means dancing for the crowd.

Jitterbug

Sally's in her manger, picking at her new teeth
Counting all her pennies
Dusting off the old sheets.

Ring around the rosie
Swing around a new beat
Bringing in a new year
Singing in a new week.

Put your Betty-Boop smile into technicolor.
Keep on coming back when there's no order to take.

Sing a song of sixteen devils in a blue sky
Picking up the pieces, pockets full of new rye.

Pocket Full of Rye

Cut a rug Oliver. 
She's just playing hard to get.

Put a finger to your lip, and then shoot straight from the hip.

Oh, can you see that those smiles are for nothing?
Oh, can you see that they're shaking and starting to watch what you say now. 
Watch what you do.

Pardon the limited manner of thinking.

When all is said and done, the kids are having fun.
A couple on the run. 
The Emperor wears new clothes.

So dear, what's the matter dear?
Oh, see; he came for you and me.

Emperor
