i’ve got a hot foot, i’ve got to drive all night
gonna’ drive like crazy til i feel all right
drive like crazy til i feel all right
beep beep, beep beep, beep beep. oh yeah yeah
baby some night i’ll get where i’m going to
maybe some night i’ll forget about you.
i drove fifty thousand miles in my car last year
never leave the city, never leave third gear
i only drive at night and always alone
i sleep all day i don’t answer the phone.
chorus
i don’t look in the mirror and i don’t look back
keep the doctors away cuz i don’t drive fast
i don’t need my medicine i’ve got my car
you can find me when i’m lost i won’t drive far.

telephone the twilite zone and check the mists aswirling 
and see if they have got a line on a fella named rod serling.
set him down and warm his bones and enquire so politely
about his health and what he sees in the zone on TV nightly
reruns reruns reruns, ozzie desi lucy, beaver follows sky king
so much time who can be choosy
chorus
black and white, no blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
we all live forever on the silver screen.

press the button, change the channel, what is real distinguished panel
doctors lawyers cops and robbers, cowboys indians knowing fathers
endless talk show sitcom movie, of your fate it does behoove me
to forewarn you, to advise, less your demise should surprise
no hot flames no sulphur pits, repeats are the worst of it.
chorus 
black and white, not blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
the dead live forever on the TV screen.
they’re timeless lights and shadow
live forever though they’re cancelled
change the station change the view
i think they died from deja vu.

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

she looks like a vision in the morning light
like she stepped from a dream that i had in the night
her perfume floats in the morning air
each gentle breeze seems to caress her hair
the dream lingers on but she won’t return
i can feel her touch, the memory burns
she lights up the night what a frightening sight
her skin bone white and her eyes likes the night

her eyes like the night, her eyes like the night

the dream goes on, the sleeper turns
does he he feel it much, does the memory burn
i never used to dream very much in the night
when i went to sleep i was spared from sight
but now my dreams are of you, my nightmares too
when i close my eyes it's always a surprise

her eyes like the night
the dream goes on, the sleeper turns
does he feel it much, does the memory burn

i never used to dream very much in the night
when i went to sleep i was spared from sight
her eyes like the night, her eyes like the night

Joss Sticks for Yannis

cruelty of fate, irony of time 
if he hadn't missed his bus
he might have missed the crime

they found him in his underwear and one black sock 
the coroner said the time of death was two o'clock
 his neck was bent and showed the signs
of multiple contusions 
his face was bruised and staring eyes
showed signs of his confusion
 oh can this really be, happening to me 
cruelty of fate, the irony of time

cruelties of fate, irony of time 
if he hadn't missed his bus
he might have missed the crime 
one inch to the left or right or just one minute late 
and he'd have walked off down the street
and missed his first blind date 
or maybe you and he could never really see 
the cruelty of fate, the irony of time

victims never know their fate
they really don't suspect it 
but when they do it's much too late 
to know is to expect it 
what's that sound, do i hear someone 
laughing quite insanely 
no one gets out of here alive
your fate can be seen plainly
oh cruelty of fate, the irony of time .
