My PussyCat and Me lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You can take my Cadillac
You can have all my guitars
All [?] is yours
You'll find it in my bar
But you can't have my pussycat, no
You can't have my pussycat
She's all mine
Can't you see
It's just my pussycat and me
You can stop me at the causeway
You can put me in jail
You can set a price on my head
Bigger than the cost of my bail
But you can't have my pussycat, no
You can't have my pussycat
She's all mine
Can't you see
It's just my pussycat and me
You can smoke my cigarettes
You can drink my drinks
You can take away everything
Well, you can have the kitchen sink
But you can't have my pussycat, no
You can't have my pussycat
She's all mine
Can't you see
It's just my pussycat and me
You can have my ocean view
You can laugh right in my face
You can banish me from [unknown]
Well, you can shoot me out in space
But you can't have my pussycat, no
You can't have my pussycat
She's all mine
Can't you see
It's just my pussycat and me
She's all mine
Can't you see
It's just my pussycat and me
You See That House? lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You see that house
That's over there
That's quite a house
That's standing there
I have the keys
Would you like to see inside
Oh yes, I would
I've heard it's very nice
I've heard about
The lovely bathroom tiles
So nice and cool
To lay upon and rest your cheek
That's very good
You are correct
Perhaps you know
Or just suspect
That there may be
Other special features as well
Oh, Mr. Man
Now don't you tease me
You know to well
How you could please me
And could we go
To the famous trophy room
Well I see you know
More than I thought you did
I think I have a room
Where you gonna like it
So take my hand
Come down to the cellar with me
Digestive Process lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
See the cows grazing
There in the distance
But zoom up now just a little closer
See how he chews the cud
It shall travel through no less than two of her stomachs
It's quite a digestive process
Look at the milkman
There on the highway
But zoom in now just a little closer
See how he chews his gum
It will be tough to dissolve should he accidentally swallow it
It's quite a digestive process
When I see a chicken
Just off the highway
I feel compelled to get a little closer
Now, here is a creature
Who must eat stones to help his food down
Because he's got no teeth
It's quite a digestive process
Hold It Like An Egg lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Drop that
Thing in my palm
And I'll hold it
Like an egg
Careful
It's fragile
You must chain it
By the leg
And if you
Can tame it
Finally
Unchain it
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something
Slip that
In your pocket
Don't crush it
Against your leg
Careful
It's expensive
You must treat it
Like an egg
And if you
Can train it
Not to
Hurt the children
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something
[?]
If we
Took our thing and
Went and sat down
By the sea
Would there
Still be something
Left of you and
Left of me?
If you
Help me train it
Finally
Unchain it
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something
It's Not That I Don't Feel Sorry lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
If I were to pass a house caught on fire
Well, I ought to see if I could save anyone
But if I believed that nobody'd see me
I've got to admit, I'd be tempted to run
It's not that I don't feel sorry
It's just I can't say what I've done
And don't look to me [?] struck down by lightning
In a field full of rain, when you're lying there stunned
I'd try to help - but Lord, I'd be queasy
I mean
Well
What if you were dead?
I'd be tempted to run
It's not that I don't feel sorry
It's just I can't say what I've done
Given the choice, I'd rather not go hunting
Gathering is more my style
It's not that I don't feel sorry
It's just I can't say what I've done
It's not that I don't feel sorry
It's just I can't say what I've done
It Might Be Rather Nice lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I
I like to keep my hands clean
And I
I like to wear fresh socks each day
But you
Well, you've got dirty fingernails
And so, why
Why don't we try to get together?
It might just be right
You never know
It might just be right
I
Well, I'm addicted to nose drops
And I
Can't fall asleep until I use them
But you
Won't even use an aspirin
And so why
Why don't we try to work it out?
Sometimes
I trim raw fingernails
And sometimes
We just leave them long
And I
Would even lick them clean for you
It might just be right
You never know
It might just be right
I'll Be Peaceful Then lyrics - Crash Test Dummies (feat. Brad Roberts)
I cannot work, I cannot rest
It seems there's something on my chest
I cannot think, can't even feel
It's just as though, nothing were real
I cannot play, I cannot sing
It seems I can't do anything
The music sounds all flat and grey
The world seems O, so far away
And when it all comes to an end
I'll have no foes, I'll have no friends
And I will not be seen again
And I'll be peaceful then
Yes I'll be peaceful then
I watch the sun go up and down
The snow blows into my small town
I watch the clock wait for its chime
The old days seem like better times
I'd like to fly away from here
There's nothing left that I hold dear
And when I've finally shorn these chains
I'll be released of all my pains
And when it all comes to an end
I'll have no foes, I'll have no friends
And I will not be seen again
And I'll be peaceful then
Yes I'll be peaceful then
It's a Small Town lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You can try sneaking around if you like
By the wharf, or away in the woods
Poaching at lobsters and deer and the like
And doesn't that homebrew taste good?
You can say you were hiking
Pretend you were lost
But you'll smell like a drunk in the end
It's a small town
And the word will get 'round
That you can be sure, my friend
You can grow plants in the bush if you like
Water them every day
Pick a nice spot that is just out of sight
Sunny, but out of the way
Then, when the time comes to harvest your crop
Some kids cut them down at the end
'Cause it's a small town
And the word will get 'round
That you can be sure, my friend
You can try cheating on your lovely wife
There's always a goer around
Take her out back in the bush, if you like
Do everything not to be found
Pants 'round your ankles
You fumble about
Wondering how this one will end
It's a small town
And the word will get 'round
That you can be sure, my friend
So I went running as fast as I could
From the scene of all my crimes
I imagined a life somewhere else far away
And hope [?]
And claim I was orphaned
And came from out west
And start fresh all over again
But in my small town
The word will get 'round
That you can be sure, my friend
That you can be sure, my friend
Promised Land lyrics - Crash Test Dummies & Marc Mysterio (feat. Mark Crozer)
Take me away
Take me away
Take me to the promised land now
Take me away

Get really loud

How do you like me now?
Take me away
Take me away
Take me to the promised land now
Take me away
Take me away
Take me to the promised land now
Sacred Alphabet lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
In the beginning was not the word, not yet
There was no sacred alphabet
No subject, object, verb or tense
Sound had not been enslaved to sense
The void was neither dark nor deep
It did not, like some giant, sleep
In cosmic unawareness, coiled
Undreaming of a world unspoiled
No melody did gently wake
This giant, nor did his soul take
The shape of song heard in his dreams
So making real what merely seems
Instead, an undivided howl
A random, preternatural vowel
No beauty, truth or goodness here
No sin, no shame, no guilt nor fear
There was no sacred alphabet
In the beginning was not the word, not yet
Songbird lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
I listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds
Told nothing of the purpose of their rounds
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
I looked out at the trees that gently swayed
They didn't need to know how they were made
I wondered if the world kept something hid
Denied to me, for something that I did
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
So far I haven't heard a songbird sing
A single verse that told me anything
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
I listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds
Told nothing of the purpose of their rounds
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
I looked out at the trees that gently swayed
They didn't need to know how they were made
I wondered if the world kept something hid
Denied to me, for something that I did
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
So far I haven't heard a songbird sing
A single verse that told me anything
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill
You Said You'd Meet Me (In California) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You said you'd meet me in California
You said you'd meet me in California
Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd live here, you said you'd love me
You said we'd stay here, and make a family
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me in California
Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd live here, you said you'd love me
You said we'd stay here, and make a family
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me
And It's Beautiful lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
We turn out water into wine
It's something we do all the time
It doesn't cost a single dime
And it's beautiful... Yes it's beautiful
Our glasses, never just half full
The flowers vivid, colorful
And though we feel
the push and the pull
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful
And through our hearts are in the right place
And out there is the whole human race
And each one has a mask, and a face
And it's beautiful...
Enough about the look in your eyes
Enough about the sun and the sky
It will always be just you and I
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful
It's something we do all the time
It doesn't cost a single dime
And it's beautiful... Yes it's beautiful
Our glasses, never just half full
The flowers vivid, colorful
And though we feel
the push and the pull
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful
And through our hearts are in the right place
And out there is the whole human race
And each one has a mask, and a face
And it's beautiful...
Enough about the look in your eyes
Enough about the sun and the sky
It will always be just you and I
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful
Paralyzed lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
One day I awakened
You left no goodbyes
You left no truth
And you left with no lies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed
I swam against the current
In rivers deep and wide
Oh so long - staring at the skies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed
I thought I had us plotted out
My chapters all revised
And now you just walk in the door
With your lips and hair and eyes
And when I see your face again
The living in me dies
The living in me dies
I had my heart down to a science
My dreams all analyzed
But here you are
With that look in your eyes
And now it seems like I'm paralyzed
And now it seems that I'm paralyzed
You left no goodbyes
You left no truth
And you left with no lies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed
I swam against the current
In rivers deep and wide
Oh so long - staring at the skies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed
I thought I had us plotted out
My chapters all revised
And now you just walk in the door
With your lips and hair and eyes
And when I see your face again
The living in me dies
The living in me dies
I had my heart down to a science
My dreams all analyzed
But here you are
With that look in your eyes
And now it seems like I'm paralyzed
And now it seems that I'm paralyzed
The In-Between Place lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I can't tell what's true
So it's harder to lie
I haven't got the proofs
My equations run dry
I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog
I've still got my mind
My body, and my heart
I can still be unkind
I can still come apart
I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog
Where the line in the sand
Is drawn with a stick
'Til the winds sweep the land
And blow the air thick
The place where the sky
Meets up with the land
Where the 1 watches 1
That it longs to command
So it's harder to lie
I haven't got the proofs
My equations run dry
I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog
I've still got my mind
My body, and my heart
I can still be unkind
I can still come apart
I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog
Where the line in the sand
Is drawn with a stick
'Til the winds sweep the land
And blow the air thick
The place where the sky
Meets up with the land
Where the 1 watches 1
That it longs to command
Not Today Baby lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Well they're willing and their able
When they come over to my table
And say, "Hello, there..."
There's a Jane and a Julie
And then there's simply yours truly
Sitting alone here
They say one day I'll finally settle down
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
Well they pay my lots of money
Just to stand up and be funny
For an hour
Then the bees want some honey
And then oh-boy-all-of-a-suddenly
I'm their flower
They say one day I'll finally
Come around
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
Don't know what's comin' at me
Or who's such and such
As long as I'm this happy
I don't care, care too much
Well the show is all over
And I'm rolling in the clover all alone here
And I know you'd keep my company
But I'm really very comfy on my own, here
They say one day I'll finally stay in town
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
When they come over to my table
And say, "Hello, there..."
There's a Jane and a Julie
And then there's simply yours truly
Sitting alone here
They say one day I'll finally settle down
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
Well they pay my lots of money
Just to stand up and be funny
For an hour
Then the bees want some honey
And then oh-boy-all-of-a-suddenly
I'm their flower
They say one day I'll finally
Come around
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
Don't know what's comin' at me
Or who's such and such
As long as I'm this happy
I don't care, care too much
Well the show is all over
And I'm rolling in the clover all alone here
And I know you'd keep my company
But I'm really very comfy on my own, here
They say one day I'll finally stay in town
Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby
Heart Of Stone lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I'll never forget
The first time we met
On the beach, by the sea-
Just opened my eyes
Voila, a surprise:
You were looking at me
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone
And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone
I was taken aback
I was thrown off my track
By your beauty and joy
The wind blew your hair
I just lay there, and stare
Like a stupid schoolboy
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone...
And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone
Then we'd sit, holding hands
Lay so many plans
Of the places we'd go
But the years quickly passed
And then it came to the last
We never left home
And so now we are old
Both our stories are told
And we wait for the end
And if you're the first to go
I will follow you, know
That my heart will not mend
And I wish I owned
A heart of stone
The first time we met
On the beach, by the sea-
Just opened my eyes
Voila, a surprise:
You were looking at me
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone
And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone
I was taken aback
I was thrown off my track
By your beauty and joy
The wind blew your hair
I just lay there, and stare
Like a stupid schoolboy
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone...
And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone
Then we'd sit, holding hands
Lay so many plans
Of the places we'd go
But the years quickly passed
And then it came to the last
We never left home
And so now we are old
Both our stories are told
And we wait for the end
And if you're the first to go
I will follow you, know
That my heart will not mend
And I wish I owned
A heart of stone
Lake Bras d'Or lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There is a path by Lake Bras d'Or
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone
A patch of land, I call my own
I planted seeds, some have grown
But weeds have choked the few remains
My crop has withered in the sun
Doomed before it had begun
I thought I read the writing on the wall
Turned out that it was just a bit of scrawl
I walked along, tasting my defeat -
There was a time when what was writ
Seemed to me clear, and full of wit
There is a path by Lake Bras d'Or
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone
A patch of land, I call my own
I planted seeds, some have grown
But weeds have choked the few remains
My crop has withered in the sun
Doomed before it had begun
I thought I read the writing on the wall
Turned out that it was just a bit of scrawl
I walked along, tasting my defeat -
There was a time when what was writ
Seemed to me clear, and full of wit
There is a path by Lake Bras d'Or
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone
What I'm Famous For lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I don't know if you've been told
If this old place is bought or sold
But I'm here now and now its mine

Call me thief or call me bum

Now You See Her lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Her sugar lips, her chinney-chin-chin
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
Her silvery voice, her sweet perfume
The light she brings into the room
Her sunny smile when she walks the walk
Hey evil eye, her crazy talk
Her simple face, her pretty head
Her fickle heart
Her someone else instead
You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
Her shiny hair, those lacy things
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
The music plays, she's asked to dance
But sadly, no he missed his chance
The times she's had, the men she's known
Still she prefers to be alone
Hey empty room, her lonely bed
Her fickle heart, her someone else instead
You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
When it's dark out
I want to sneak out
Drink my troubles away
Can't forget her
Wish I never met her
I still regret the day
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
Her silvery voice, her sweet perfume
The light she brings into the room
Her sunny smile when she walks the walk
Hey evil eye, her crazy talk
Her simple face, her pretty head
Her fickle heart
Her someone else instead
You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
Her shiny hair, those lacy things
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
The music plays, she's asked to dance
But sadly, no he missed his chance
The times she's had, the men she's known
Still she prefers to be alone
Hey empty room, her lonely bed
Her fickle heart, her someone else instead
You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
When it's dark out
I want to sneak out
Drink my troubles away
Can't forget her
Wish I never met her
I still regret the day
Put A Face lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Put a face
on the page
into scenes
put a time
to a place
with a theme
Give it rhythm
meet the strict
rhyming scheme
get it down
write it out
make it seem
Into a room
that feels more
than a dream,
but a place
that we all
yearn to be
Like a real history,
Kings and Queens;
And the dawn,
As the birds start to sing,
The dust-motes
Lit up by a beam
Of the sun
Through the window
That stream
on the page
into scenes
put a time
to a place
with a theme
Give it rhythm
meet the strict
rhyming scheme
get it down
write it out
make it seem
Into a room
that feels more
than a dream,
but a place
that we all
yearn to be
Like a real history,
Kings and Queens;
And the dawn,
As the birds start to sing,
The dust-motes
Lit up by a beam
Of the sun
Through the window
That stream
Sonnet 1 (And When The Sun Goes Down) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
And when the sun goes down into the sky
Together we shall sit and we shall sup
And we shall eat, and drink the heady wine
O, let us share the overflowing cup
We'll ramble on the coast, each side by side
We'll feel the sting of bracing salty air
We'll feel the moon pull at the ocean's tide
And wonder that we are together there
One day these things shall have come to pass
And then the end will come, as so it must
No longer shall we smell the summer grass
No longer shall we know each other's trust
So let us walk, and feel the cooling breeze
Before they're just forgotten memories
Together we shall sit and we shall sup
And we shall eat, and drink the heady wine
O, let us share the overflowing cup
We'll ramble on the coast, each side by side
We'll feel the sting of bracing salty air
We'll feel the moon pull at the ocean's tide
And wonder that we are together there
One day these things shall have come to pass
And then the end will come, as so it must
No longer shall we smell the summer grass
No longer shall we know each other's trust
So let us walk, and feel the cooling breeze
Before they're just forgotten memories
And So Will Always Be lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Once I went out walking
And saw a crippled man
He couldn't raise his glass to lips
So crippled were his hands
I stopped and watched, but could not
Bring myself to lend a hand
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
One day I was humming
A simple melody
When I heard birds whistling their tunes
From high up in the trees
My song seemed but a trifle now
They sang so beautifully
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
And now I listen to wind
As I lay down to bed
The snow has just begun to fall
And cover all that's left
The tops of fences, tips of trees
And stones that mark the dead
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
And saw a crippled man
He couldn't raise his glass to lips
So crippled were his hands
I stopped and watched, but could not
Bring myself to lend a hand
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
One day I was humming
A simple melody
When I heard birds whistling their tunes
From high up in the trees
My song seemed but a trifle now
They sang so beautifully
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
And now I listen to wind
As I lay down to bed
The snow has just begun to fall
And cover all that's left
The tops of fences, tips of trees
And stones that mark the dead
And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me
The Unforgiven Ones lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The guilty and the innocents
The prisoners and the free
The ugly and the beautiful
The ones who are yet to be
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones
The rock that ships run up against
No matter how they tack
The murderers and the murdered ones
And the ones who don't come back
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones
The one whose heart is of a saint
The other's black as night
The one who never wondered
What made something wrong, or right
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones
The prisoners and the free
The ugly and the beautiful
The ones who are yet to be
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done

The one whose heart is of a saint
The other's black as night
The one who never wondered
What made something wrong, or right
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones
Come Down To The Sinkhole lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Come down to the sinkhole
Where the mud is thick and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Bring a stick for wild dogs
That hunt in packs at night
Bring firepower, if you can
You might find that you have to fight
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Lay down in the tall grass
Next to the sycamores
Think of those who've come and gone
Slaughtered in the many wars
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Look out at the ocean
To the waters dark and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Where the mud is thick and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Bring a stick for wild dogs
That hunt in packs at night
Bring firepower, if you can
You might find that you have to fight
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Lay down in the tall grass
Next to the sycamores
Think of those who've come and gone
Slaughtered in the many wars
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Look out at the ocean
To the waters dark and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Is The Spell Really Broken? lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Is the spell really broken?
Has the time finally come?
Do they see it's an omen?
That it's over and done?
Have they seen the thing coming?
Or do they pretend?
Do they know that it's finally
Beginning to end?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have the castles all crumbled
Into dust in the sky?
Have the billions been humbled?
Are they ready to die?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have they emptied the prisons?
Have they heard the death knells?
Have they hung the last hangman
And must now hang themselves?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Has the time finally come?
Do they see it's an omen?
That it's over and done?
Have they seen the thing coming?
Or do they pretend?
Do they know that it's finally
Beginning to end?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have the castles all crumbled
Into dust in the sky?
Have the billions been humbled?
Are they ready to die?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have they emptied the prisons?
Have they heard the death knells?
Have they hung the last hangman
And must now hang themselves?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Everlasting Peace lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The slow march of the army
The dragging of the boots
The laying and the waiting
Until someone starts to shoot
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The slow arc of the sun that moves
Across the blazing sky
The vultures circling in the heat
Above where dying lie
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The miles of green that thirst to death
The blowing of the sand
And then the creeping cold begins
And freezes all the land
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The dragging of the boots
The laying and the waiting
Until someone starts to shoot
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The slow arc of the sun that moves
Across the blazing sky
The vultures circling in the heat
Above where dying lie
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The miles of green that thirst to death
The blowing of the sand
And then the creeping cold begins
And freezes all the land
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
Sonnet 2 (And Back In Ages Past) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
And back in ages past, when all was dark
A whirling chaos raged across the land
Survival of the cruelest left their mark
And evil came, and shook the hand of man
The brutal rampaged on their bloody way
The demons turned to gods, and gods to beasts
Unbroken cries of pain rang every day
While colder hearts prevailed, and sat to feast
And now these times approach us once again
No more will sing the solitary lark
The cruelest have returned, and they shall reign
In choking smoke and fire and endless dark
So if your heart is in it still, then stay
Remember, though, these are our final days
A whirling chaos raged across the land
Survival of the cruelest left their mark
And evil came, and shook the hand of man
The brutal rampaged on their bloody way
The demons turned to gods, and gods to beasts
Unbroken cries of pain rang every day
While colder hearts prevailed, and sat to feast
And now these times approach us once again
No more will sing the solitary lark
The cruelest have returned, and they shall reign
In choking smoke and fire and endless dark
So if your heart is in it still, then stay
Remember, though, these are our final days
The Beginning Of The End lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
And when the rain begins to fall
And there's flooding in the streets
And everyone is drowning
And everyone retreats
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the bombs begin to fall
And the fires fill the streets
And the people scream blue murder
And there's nowhere to retreat
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the angels begin to fall
Into their fiery hell
They knew that there would be no end
But they rang their bells
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And there's flooding in the streets
And everyone is drowning
And everyone retreats
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the bombs begin to fall
And the fires fill the streets
And the people scream blue murder
And there's nowhere to retreat
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the angels begin to fall
Into their fiery hell
They knew that there would be no end
But they rang their bells
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
You've Had Your Run lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The cards are dealt, the bids are in
The faces, poker straight
The air is full of smoke and sweat
The men are full of hate
Rest your tired bones, my friend

There Is No Final Winner lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There is no final winner
There is no final score
The men have left the playing field and play no more
The hours have been counted
The work is finally done
And now the night begins to fall on everyone
The lovers have done their loving
The murderers their task
The hunted have been snared and gagged and masked
So when you're in the graveyard
Read those names in stone
After all, you'll never get to read your own
There is no final score
The men have left the playing field and play no more
The hours have been counted
The work is finally done
And now the night begins to fall on everyone
The lovers have done their loving
The murderers their task
The hunted have been snared and gagged and masked
So when you're in the graveyard
Read those names in stone
After all, you'll never get to read your own
You've Done It Once Again lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The kill is fresh, the deed is done
You lay down in your bed
But sleep won't come, you're still too high
And thoughts race through your head
And then the guilt begins to gnaw
And your belly turns to stone
And you realize it's you that did it
You and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
You swore you'd not repeat your crime
You took a solitary oath
But now you're back where you began
Just you and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
And now you rise again from bed
And look out at the day
Regret the things that you have done
And then do them all again
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
You lay down in your bed
But sleep won't come, you're still too high
And thoughts race through your head
And then the guilt begins to gnaw
And your belly turns to stone
And you realize it's you that did it
You and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it

You swore you'd not repeat your crime
You took a solitary oath
But now you're back where you began
Just you and you alone

And then do them all again
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again

Sonnet 3 (The Cold Is Here) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The cold is here, the woods are full of snow
The river with its crusted banks of ice
Bespeak of winter drownings long ago
The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise
The birds have flown away to warmer climes
The mammals in their caves to hibernate
The summer seems a lost and gentle time
When grass grew up against the swinging gate
The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red
The wealthy are beside their fires, warm
And then there's he who is without a bed
In which to lay and ride the raging storm
And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie
And far above, the stars light up the sky
The river with its crusted banks of ice
Bespeak of winter drownings long ago
The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise
The birds have flown away to warmer climes
The mammals in their caves to hibernate
The summer seems a lost and gentle time
When grass grew up against the swinging gate
The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red
The wealthy are beside their fires, warm
And then there's he who is without a bed
In which to lay and ride the raging storm
And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie
And far above, the stars light up the sky
The Wicked And The Evil lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There are those who kneel to worship
And beg for clemency
There are those who know the hardship
Of a conscience that'is not free
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The prisoners feel the scorching sun
As they toil among the rocks
Some are grim, some resigned
But not one ever talks
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The sinner knowing he has sinned
Is not saved, he is cursed
For no matter how he may repent
He's done his worst
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
And beg for clemency
There are those who know the hardship
Of a conscience that'is not free
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The prisoners feel the scorching sun
As they toil among the rocks
Some are grim, some resigned
But not one ever talks
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The sinner knowing he has sinned
Is not saved, he is cursed
For no matter how he may repent
He's done his worst
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
It's A Shame lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I wanna get you high
But I'm gonna make you cry
You'll hate me, and you'll miss me when I'm gone
It's been a little dry
But still I'm gonna try
You'll miss the stuff I get when you are gone

Stupid Same lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I know the guy who we can blame
I even know his middle name
I never liked his stupid games
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I know the guy who we can blame
He hasn't any sense of shame
He'll always be the stupid same
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I know a guy who we can nail
I've drank with him, I've had his tail
We'll send him something in the mail...
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I even know his middle name
I never liked his stupid games
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I know the guy who we can blame
He hasn't any sense of shame
He'll always be the stupid same
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I know a guy who we can nail
I've drank with him, I've had his tail
We'll send him something in the mail...
And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me
I'll See What I Can Do lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I could love you once or twice
I think you'd find it very nice
But then I'd have to call it quits
And tear you're little heart to bits
I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do
I could meet you once or twice
We'd drink our drinks and suck the ice
And I would pay and we would chat
And talk of this and laugh at that and
I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do
And when I take you home to play
And sing my tiny hear away
I think you're gonna like my licks
I think I'm gonna give you my itch, and
I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do
I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do
I think you'd find it very nice

Your Gun Won't Fire lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
All that shit's in the past
But it still seems to last
When you're layin' in bed
Thinkin' 'bout what you said
So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire
When the cat's in the bag
It turns out there's a snag
And it's a slap in the head
When you're tossin' in bed
So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire
It's a slap in the face
When you're losin' the race
Now it's all down the crapper
There's no snap in my snapper
So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire
But it still seems to last
When you're layin' in bed
Thinkin' 'bout what you said

When the cat's in the bag
It turns out there's a snag
And it's a slap in the head
When you're tossin' in bed
So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire
It's a slap in the face
When you're losin' the race
Now it's all down the crapper
There's no snap in my snapper
So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire

If Ya Wanna Know lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I never realized how much I prized you
I never thought you’d do me just one time
And if I could again lay eyes upon on you
I know I'd make you want me one more time
The days are long, the nights are hot without you
I put your picture right beside my bed
When I run out of things for me to do to you
I do them all again inside my head
And if you wanna know what I wanna do

Just ask me, I'll show you
And if you think you know what I wanna do
Don’t ask me, I'll trust you
I watch at night, I've trained my sights right on you

I Never Try That Hard lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I'm not that cruel, I'm not that kind
There's really nothing on my mind
Believe me
And when I'm talking in my sleep
It doesn't ever get that deep
There's not much to me
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me
I add up all the good I've done
Then count the bad things one by one
And it evens out
And if I've had the odd regret
It’s nothing that I can't forget
To think about
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me
I know that we won't last for long
That someone else will come along
And play his hand
And when we’re layin' in our bed
And you're wishin' he were here instead
I'll understand
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me
There's really nothing on my mind
Believe me
And when I'm talking in my sleep
It doesn't ever get that deep
There's not much to me
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me
I add up all the good I've done
Then count the bad things one by one
And it evens out
And if I've had the odd regret
It’s nothing that I can't forget
To think about
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me
I know that we won't last for long
That someone else will come along
And play his hand
And when we’re layin' in our bed
And you're wishin' he were here instead
I'll understand
I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me

It'll Never Leave You Alone lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I think I'll have just one
Well, maybe just another one
Of course, the third one’s so much fun
It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You'll just turn around
And bring it right back home
I think I'll have a puff
One should be enough
It shouldn’t have to be that tough
It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You’ll just turn around
And bring it right back home
I think it's time for a sniff
Just a little teensy whiff
My head is howling and my bones are stiff
So would you like a hit?
Just a little teensy-weensy bit?
I think you're gonna like it
It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You’ll just turn around
And bring it right back home
Well, maybe just another one
Of course, the third one’s so much fun
It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You'll just turn around

Just a little teensy-weensy bit?
I think you're gonna like it

And if you try and tell it to go
You’ll just turn around
And bring it right back home
White Christmas lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
{The sun is shining, the grass is green
The oranges, the palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December, the twenty-fourth
And I'm longing to be up north}
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
The oranges, the palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December, the twenty-fourth
And I'm longing to be up north}
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to all on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas Angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
How still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to all on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas Angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

In The Bleak Midwinter lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Angels and archangels
They have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Round in the air
For his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worship the beloved
With a kiss
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ
What can I give Him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give him
Give my heart
Give, give my heart
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Angels and archangels
They have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Round in the air
For his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worship the beloved
With a kiss
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ
What can I give Him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give him
Give my heart
Give, give my heart

To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

The First Noel lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The first Noel, the angels did say
Unto certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel
Unto certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Good King Wenceslas lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel
Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou knowst it telling
Yonder peasant, who is he
Where and what his dwelling
Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes fountain
Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear them thither
Page and monarch, forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather
Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly
In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dented
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel
Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou knowst it telling
Yonder peasant, who is he
Where and what his dwelling
Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes fountain
Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear them thither
Page and monarch, forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather
Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly
In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dented
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing

On And On lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Come with me down this ol' road
Where I got stuck and later towed
Listen to the sound of the falling rain
We just might end up stuck again
The little bird can sing and sing
The little bird knows everything
But the little bird don't bother with song
He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on
Climb up in this tree with me
The branches are big and there's plenty to see
Listen to the sound of the blowin' leaves
Feel that breeze goin' through your sleeves
The little bird can sing and sing
The little bird knows everything
But the little bird don't bother with song
He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on
Don't go followin' me no more
I'm sick of your face at my back door
Don't you listen to the bird in your head
Just remember what I said
The little bird can sing and sing
The little bird knows everything
But the little bird don't bother with song
He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on and on
Come with me down this ol' road
Where I got stuck and later towed
Listen to the sound of the falling rain
We just might end up stuck again...
Where I got stuck and later towed
Listen to the sound of the falling rain
We just might end up stuck again
The little bird can sing and sing
The little bird knows everything
But the little bird don't bother with song
He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on
Climb up in this tree with me
The branches are big and there's plenty to see
Listen to the sound of the blowin' leaves
Feel that breeze goin' through your sleeves
The little bird can sing and sing
The little bird knows everything
But the little bird don't bother with song
He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on
Don't go followin' me no more
I'm sick of your face at my back door
Don't you listen to the bird in your head

He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on and on
Come with me down this ol' road
Where I got stuck and later towed
Listen to the sound of the falling rain
We just might end up stuck again...
The Day We Never Met lyrics -
I thought of you and made believe
Until I made you real
You played with me
You stayed with me
And knew just what I'd feel
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
I drink to you and toast your name
A name that I don't know
I think of you and see a face
A face that never shows
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
The lights are out, the moon is up
I'm calling out my plea
But all I hear is my own voice
Echo back to me
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
Until I made you real
You played with me
You stayed with me
And knew just what I'd feel
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
I drink to you and toast your name
A name that I don't know
I think of you and see a face
A face that never shows
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
The lights are out, the moon is up
I'm calling out my plea
But all I hear is my own voice
Echo back to me
The lips I never kissed
Are lips I can't forget
The dress you never wore
On the day we never met
The name I never whispered
As it echoed in my mind
The man I never was
The sweet thing that's not mine
Let It Feel Like Something Else lyrics -
Rise up on your feet again
Wake yourself from your sleep
Seems it never ever ends
Like an ocean cold and deep
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see
Out here on the sea again
The waves are rolling high
The stowaways are laughing
And the children want to cry
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see
Deep inside this dream again
And searching for the tracks
Sitting by that window then,
Where now you can't go back...
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see
Wake yourself from your sleep
Seems it never ever ends
Like an ocean cold and deep
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see
Out here on the sea again
The waves are rolling high
The stowaways are laughing
And the children want to cry
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see
Deep inside this dream again
And searching for the tracks
Sitting by that window then,
Where now you can't go back...
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
With something else to see

Sittin' On A Tree Stump lyrics -
Listen to the grass that's out there blowin'
Look at that tractor just there sittin'
It's my name that the bottle's callin'
Listen to the goddamn song I'm singin'
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Look at that doggy sittin' on the stairs
Look at that star shinin' way up there
Think of all the things that they're doin' in jail
Think of all the rich ones out on bail
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Look at the TV, it's all crappy
Look at the bald spot on yer pappy
Listen to his wheatfield out there blowin'
Hope its doin' better than his hair at growin'
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Look at that tractor just there sittin'
It's my name that the bottle's callin'
Listen to the goddamn song I'm singin'
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Look at that doggy sittin' on the stairs
Look at that star shinin' way up there
Think of all the things that they're doin' in jail
Think of all the rich ones out on bail
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Look at the TV, it's all crappy
Look at the bald spot on yer pappy
Listen to his wheatfield out there blowin'
Hope its doin' better than his hair at growin'
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
Buzzin' Flies lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The rain on the ground
The empty town
Nothing is left in the lost and found
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun
And the army is strong
And the navy's at sea
As I sit on my porch and watch TV
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun
I'm too weak to fight
I can't get to sleep
The ocean outside is cold and deep
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun
The empty town
Nothing is left in the lost and found
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun
And the army is strong
And the navy's at sea
As I sit on my porch and watch TV
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun
I'm too weak to fight
I can't get to sleep
The ocean outside is cold and deep
Hot sun, buzzin' flies
Hurtin' head, squinty eyes
Look at me and how I've done
Shootin' tin cans with my daddy's old gun

Hangin' Tree lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
A friend is a need
Like a gauze when you bleed
And you're layin' and cryin' away
And the dozen or so
Of the friends that I know
Aren't worth the time anyway
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
A song is a thing
That you you write and you sing
When you're layin' and cryin' away
And the dozen or so
That I wrote long ago
Don't sound good anymore anyway
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
A prayer is a thing
Like a kite on a string
That can snap and get lost in the sky
And a dare is a dare
So you better beware
'Cause soon you'll be saying goodbye
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
Like a gauze when you bleed
And you're layin' and cryin' away
And the dozen or so
Of the friends that I know
Aren't worth the time anyway
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
A song is a thing
That you you write and you sing
When you're layin' and cryin' away
And the dozen or so
That I wrote long ago
Don't sound good anymore anyway
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
A prayer is a thing
Like a kite on a string
That can snap and get lost in the sky
And a dare is a dare
So you better beware
'Cause soon you'll be saying goodbye
The tree can be a hangin' tree
The rose a thorny stem
The wind can blow across the field
But it's always us or them
Yeah it's always us or them
Every Morning lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I get up every morning
I'm mean to everyone
But you just you ignore me
You seem think it's fun
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
I watch the girly dancers
Passing one by one
I'll never have to meet them
I have my dance and we're done
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
I've got a book of special pictures
I take a peek off and on
When I'm alone in the morning
I get my own thing going on
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
I'm mean to everyone
But you just you ignore me
You seem think it's fun
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
I watch the girly dancers
Passing one by one
I'll never have to meet them
I have my dance and we're done
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
I've got a book of special pictures
I take a peek off and on
When I'm alone in the morning
I get my own thing going on
And I need to get away
And you need to get away from me
And you see it's the right thing
And that is why you're right for me
Never Comin' Back lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You said that you were getting cigarettes
Its been a week and you're not back yet
Your ashtray sits, empty, unused
I sit waitin', empty, confused
What could I have done
To make you feel this way?
What could I have said
To make you walk away?
If only I could know,
If only I could see
But you're not ever comin' back to me
You said I was the only man for you
But now it seems you've got another view
And is it someone else, or was it me?
Who is it with whom you'd rather be?
What could I have done
To make you feel this way?
What could I have said
To make you walk away?
If only I could know,
If only I could see
But you're not ever comin' back to me
I go to bed at night and dream of you
But in my dreams you're not just one, but two
And arm in arm you walk the beach
Just far enough to be out of reach
What could I have done
To make you feel this way?
What could I have said
To make you walk away?
If only I could know,
If only I could see
But you're not ever comin' back to me
Its been a week and you're not back yet
Your ashtray sits, empty, unused
I sit waitin', empty, confused
What could I have done
To make you feel this way?
What could I have said
To make you walk away?
If only I could know,
If only I could see
But you're not ever comin' back to me
You said I was the only man for you
But now it seems you've got another view
And is it someone else, or was it me?
Who is it with whom you'd rather be?

Just far enough to be out of reach

Put Me In A Corner Of Your Mind lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
You could be away for quite some time
But you'd never leave my foolish mind
You can step right on my foolish heart
You had me hooked, you had me from the start
Take me to a place I'd rather see
Put me in a corner of your mind
Think of me and you from time to time
Show me someone I would rather be
You could step into my open door
You never ever miss a single beat
I never felt this crazy way before
Just the way you walk right down the street
Think of me and you from time to time
Put me in a corner of your mind
Take me to a place I'd rather see
Show me someone I would rather be
You can fall asleep and I won't mind
You can dream the dreams deep in your mind
I will lie awake and hear you breathe
Just promise me that you will never leave
Put me in a corner of your mind
Take me to a place I'd rather see
Think of me and you from time to time
Show me someone I would rather be
But you'd never leave my foolish mind
You can step right on my foolish heart
You had me hooked, you had me from the start
Take me to a place I'd rather see
Put me in a corner of your mind

Shoot 'em Up, Shoot 'em Down lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I shot an ol' bottle with my favorite gun just last night
It shattered and the sound made me feel like the king I am
The neighbors all heard and got scared
Thought it was a gunfight
But hell, it was fun, so I did it again
'Cause that's the kinda king I am
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
I turned on the radio and listened to the ol' songs playin'
And things started feelin' good and right again
So I shot up a crow in a tree after dinner this evenin
Its good to keep yer trigger finger nimble,
I'll tell you what, my friend
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
I shot my daddy in the arm, with morphine
He said he never felt so good in all his goddamn life
So I shot him up just once more, fer good measure
He never woke up, and ever since, it's been a mighty peaceful life
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
It shattered and the sound made me feel like the king I am
The neighbors all heard and got scared
Thought it was a gunfight
But hell, it was fun, so I did it again
'Cause that's the kinda king I am
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
I turned on the radio and listened to the ol' songs playin'
And things started feelin' good and right again
So I shot up a crow in a tree after dinner this evenin
Its good to keep yer trigger finger nimble,
I'll tell you what, my friend
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
I shot my daddy in the arm, with morphine
He said he never felt so good in all his goddamn life
So I shot him up just once more, fer good measure
He never woke up, and ever since, it's been a mighty peaceful life
I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down
I shoot the lost, I shoot the found
And if there's someone I can't find
Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
I Never Fall Asleep At Night lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Watch that spider in the bathroom sink
Hes a better friend than you might think
So let him spin his web in peace
He catches creepy crawly things
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance
Watch each hair on your head turn gray
Look out the window and count your days
One two four five six seven eight
There ain't much to love and there's plenty to hate
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance
Look at that bone-yard over there
You can see it out the window from the kitchen chair
I wanna see my name carved in one of them stones
I wanna be part of them rottin' bones
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance
Hes a better friend than you might think
So let him spin his web in peace
He catches creepy crawly things
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance
Watch each hair on your head turn gray
Look out the window and count your days
One two four five six seven eight
There ain't much to love and there's plenty to hate
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance
Look at that bone-yard over there
You can see it out the window from the kitchen chair
I wanna see my name carved in one of them stones
I wanna be part of them rottin' bones
I never fall asleep at night
I never get the chance
My thoughts won't stop spinning round
They dance and dance and dance

A Cigarette Is All You Get lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I'm all freaked out
I'm all tweaked out
I'm being chased by insects
And I wanna eat my cigarettes
I can't hang out
I'm all strung out
I've got to grab me by the throat
I've got to herd me like a goat
A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet
I'm all mixed up
I gotta fix me up
I wanna pull my tongue out
And turn my nostrils inside out
I'm all dried up
I'm all fried up
I wanna burn things now and then
If I've been talkin' to businessmen
A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet
I'm all shook up
I wanna get hooked up
I wanna listen to Elvis
I wanna shake my pelvis
I wanna take the train downtown
I wanna hear some Junior Brown
I wanna move my groovy hips
I wanna bite my shaky lips
A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet
I'm all tweaked out
I'm being chased by insects
And I wanna eat my cigarettes
I can't hang out
I'm all strung out
I've got to grab me by the throat
I've got to herd me like a goat
A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet
I'm all mixed up
I gotta fix me up
I wanna pull my tongue out
And turn my nostrils inside out
I'm all dried up
I'm all fried up
I wanna burn things now and then
If I've been talkin' to businessmen
A cigarette is all you get
So hold your fire, don't light it yet
I'm all shook up
I wanna get hooked up
I wanna listen to Elvis
I wanna shake my pelvis
I wanna take the train downtown
I wanna hear some Junior Brown
I wanna move my groovy hips
I wanna bite my shaky lips
A cigarette is all you get

I Want To Par-tay! lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Well looky here now, my oh my
I got a bug stuck in my eye
I feel the chill right through my coat
I got a pill stuck in my throat
I'm a man, walking with a stick
I'm a man who likes to get in his kicks
I'm the man, talking to his dick
I'm the man getting all the chicks
You're gettin' flirty with me,
You're talkin' dirty to me,
You're sayin' "c'mon, baby!"
YEAH!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I should have checked before I chewed
I got a worm stuck in my food
I'm walking funny and it's not by chance
I got some shit stuck in my pants
You know that I could have my pick
You know that I got quirks and ticks
I like the way you play your tricks
I like the way you like to squirm and kick
You're gettin' flirty with me,
You're talkin' dirty to me,
You're sayin' "c'mon, baby!"
YEAH!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
You know that it's not just a joke
I like to suck back a lot of Coke
I like the sugar it contains
I like the syrup in my veins
I'm a man walking with his drink
I'm a man talking to his drink
I'm a man woofing in the sink
And I'm the man, whatever you may think!
You're gettin' flirty with me,
You're talkin' dirty to me,
You're sayin' "c'mon, baby!"

Give Yourself A Hand lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Hello, Mr. Fussy
Hello, Mrs. Nice
Have you ever shared a bathtub
Full of beer and ice?
I know you want to
I know you can
Put down your children
And free up your hands
Come on and free up your hands
Come on and free up your hands
Do you still like to kiss her?
Do you still hold her hand?
Would you cheat with her sister?
Do you march to her band?
And when you're by yourself
With a drink in one hand
Do you break your little rule
And give yourself the other hand?
C'mon and give yourself a hand
C'mon and give yourself a hand
C'mon and give yourself a hand
C'mon and give yourself a hand
I know your wife's uncle
He's a very nice man
He's got long clever fingers
On his lovely pink hands
Did you give that bad boy
The back of your hand?
I know you want to
I know you can
Give him the back of your hand
Give him the back of your hand
Give him the back of your hand
Give him the back of your hand

Just Shoot Me, Baby lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Take off your mink coat, take off your muff
Get on the table and show us your stuff
Right here next to me
I'm a fat old man, sweatin' and huffin'
A gin in my hand and your pretty little muffin
Right here next to me
Just don't feed me with no tube
Or change my dirty diaper
If I'm back at mommy's boob
Call in the frickin' snipers
And just shoot me, baby
Stuff me in the cracks, Stuff me
In the toilet, sweetie, put me in the trash
But be next to me
Send me to my room, hold me down
And spank me, use the wooden spoon
But be next to me
Just don't feed me with no tube
Or change my dirty diaper
If I'm back at Mommy's boob
Call in the frickin' snipers
And just shoot me, baby
Dip me in the river
You'll never wash my dirt away
Rip out my liver, baby
But be next to me
Get on the table and show us your stuff
Right here next to me
I'm a fat old man, sweatin' and huffin'
A gin in my hand and your pretty little muffin
Right here next to me
Just don't feed me with no tube
Or change my dirty diaper
If I'm back at mommy's boob
Call in the frickin' snipers
And just shoot me, baby
Stuff me in the cracks, Stuff me
In the toilet, sweetie, put me in the trash

Send me to my room, hold me down

A Little Something lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There's some stuff on my shoe, that's got nothing to do
With the places you think that I've been
And the stuff on my breath, isn't some kiss of death
From the people you think, I've been seeing
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
Though you probably forget, there's a place that we met
When we first started lying at night
It was good on the car, you would go pretty far
And you seemed like you wanted a fight
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
There's a star in the sky, it's caught my eye
And I'm sure that I've seen it before
It was quite long ago and we stood in the snow
But I can't recall where anymore
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
With the places you think that I've been
And the stuff on my breath, isn't some kiss of death
From the people you think, I've been seeing
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
Though you probably forget, there's a place that we met
When we first started lying at night
It was good on the car, you would go pretty far
And you seemed like you wanted a fight
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
There's a star in the sky, it's caught my eye
And I'm sure that I've seen it before
It was quite long ago and we stood in the snow
But I can't recall where anymore
Could I please be excused? I'm very confused
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something
I think I'd better have a little something
I think I'd like to have a little something

Aching To Sneeze lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I've been aching to sneeze
Begging please, pretty please
But I can't get the thing to come out
I've been down on my knees
I've been pissing on trees
But the evil thing just won't come out
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn
With the big bird on
And I can't make the thing go away
I've been throwing up drinks
In the toilets and sinks
But it just sticks around anyway
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn
With a fever going on
And a stain that just won't wash away
I've got nothing to hide
It's just something inside
That keeps coming back, day after day
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby, yeah
My pretty baby
Begging please, pretty please
But I can't get the thing to come out
I've been down on my knees
I've been pissing on trees
But the evil thing just won't come out
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn

Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby
I've been waking at dawn
With a fever going on
And a stain that just won't wash away
I've got nothing to hide
It's just something inside
That keeps coming back, day after day
Come on out, my pretty baby
Relieve me of my burden, little baby
Come on out, my pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby, yeah
My pretty baby
Playing Dead lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I know that you don't love me
I know you hate my guts
I know the nasty things you say
About me, to those sluts
Well, maybe I'm a weasel
Maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'm a skinny punk
Who couldn't change a tire
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
I've always been this pasty
I've always been this shape
I'm just a teensy-weensy thing
Passed on by itsy-bitsy apes
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
You know that you could train me
You know I'd sit and beg
But you think I'm just a dirty dog
That tried to hump that pretty leg
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
I know you hate my guts
I know the nasty things you say
About me, to those sluts
Well, maybe I'm a weasel
Maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'm a skinny punk
Who couldn't change a tire
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
I've always been this pasty
I've always been this shape
I'm just a teensy-weensy thing
Passed on by itsy-bitsy apes
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
You know that you could train me
You know I'd sit and beg
But you think I'm just a dirty dog
That tried to hump that pretty leg
I'm laying down
I'm playing dead
I ain't fetchin' no stick
No way, baby
Overachievers lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Long ago, a woman prayed that her suitors be
Repelled so she might serve God, be His only
God heard her prayers floating up and his heart was cheered
He rewarded her amply with a full beard
But then she wondered if she should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
A student of behaviour psychology
Conditioned himself to stick to his studies
He grew tired of these routines and tried to drop them
But he was caught in his own trap and couldn't stop them
And then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
Once a man was determined to get into
The program for astronauts and go to the moon
Finally he was in space, saw the planet
Fear struck and he threw up inside his helmet
Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
Repelled so she might serve God, be His only
God heard her prayers floating up and his heart was cheered
He rewarded her amply with a full beard
But then she wondered if she should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
A student of behaviour psychology
Conditioned himself to stick to his studies
He grew tired of these routines and tried to drop them
But he was caught in his own trap and couldn't stop them
And then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
Once a man was determined to get into
The program for astronauts and go to the moon
Finally he was in space, saw the planet
Fear struck and he threw up inside his helmet
Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
He Liked To Feel It lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There was a boy
Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it
And then we'd watch
While he would tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it
And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out
But he grew tired
Of using doorknobs and so he thought up a brand-new trick
He said he'd tie
His tooth to his dog's tail, find a stick, wind up, and then throw it
And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out
He called his dog
But just as he was set to go, his dad arrived there
He yelled at him
Then got some pliers, held him, wound up, and yanked it out right there
That wasn't how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He wouldn't tell us how it felt when it came out
Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it
And then we'd watch
While he would tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it
And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out
But he grew tired
Of using doorknobs and so he thought up a brand-new trick
He said he'd tie
His tooth to his dog's tail, find a stick, wind up, and then throw it
And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out
He called his dog
But just as he was set to go, his dad arrived there
He yelled at him
Then got some pliers, held him, wound up, and yanked it out right there
That wasn't how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He wouldn't tell us how it felt when it came out
A Worm's Life lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Although you think me cold and slimy
I've got a nice home
I've tasted your best guacamole
And siesta'd at noon in the cool of the soil
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
Sometimes it's too hot for cooking
One wants just a salad
And then comes a breeze in the evening
The men light cigars and their scent fills the air
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
But then the rains come, and the ground fills with water
And I must come up to the surface for air
Then I was plucked from the wet slime
And dropped in tequila
I lay in a stupor for sometime
And one fine night I was gulped down in a shot
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
I've got a nice home
I've tasted your best guacamole
And siesta'd at noon in the cool of the soil
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
Sometimes it's too hot for cooking
One wants just a salad
And then comes a breeze in the evening
The men light cigars and their scent fills the air
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
But then the rains come, and the ground fills with water
And I must come up to the surface for air
Then I was plucked from the wet slime
And dropped in tequila
I lay in a stupor for sometime
And one fine night I was gulped down in a shot
A worm's life can be easy
If you lay low, out of sight
Our Driver Gestures lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
When you start your journey, you go and meet your driver
You shake his hand, and hope he's feeling well
The things to come may be somewhat unfamiliar
Like eating herring where the sun does not go down
Our driver calculates what time we'll hit town
And every time a border comes
We go inside and meet with someone
Perhaps a form will need to be filled in
Then we can go and restart up the engines
Plumbing often varies in the various different countries
I like to crouch down and turn on those bidets
I'll have a cocktail, pick at my fingernails
And then I'll squat down for a wash to end the day
Our driver recommends we try the souffle
And every time a border comes
We go inside and meet with someone
Perhaps a form will need to be filled in
Then we can go and restart up the engines
Then we went down under, and we were told of farmers
Who brought some pigs here from the old country
But pigs eat turtle eggs and turtles eat jellyfish
And now you get stung if you're swimming in the sea
Our driver gestures out behind the palm trees
And every time a border comes
We go inside and meet with someone
Perhaps a form will need to be filled in
Then we can go and restart up the engines
My Enemies lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I sit and concentrate, and try hard not to hate my enemies
I try to picture them dressed up as furry little bunnies
But when I look into their glass eyes
I can see they're cold and hard and pink
Hopping 'round, hopping on their two legs
Cute little legs, hopping around and...
I think of dictators who were known to have been especial brutes
And I try to picture them gathered together in their bathing suits
But when I look down at their bodies
I can see they're warm and soft and pink
Standing around, standing on their two legs
Two little legs, standing around and...
I try to meditate, control my hate just like I know I should
But I can't help myself, and I keep it up because it feels so good
But when I look down at my belly
I can see it's pink and soft and weak
Kneeling down, kneeling on my two legs
Two skinny legs, I'm kneeling down and...
I try to picture them dressed up as furry little bunnies
But when I look into their glass eyes
I can see they're cold and hard and pink
Hopping 'round, hopping on their two legs
Cute little legs, hopping around and...
I think of dictators who were known to have been especial brutes
And I try to picture them gathered together in their bathing suits
But when I look down at their bodies
I can see they're warm and soft and pink
Standing around, standing on their two legs
Two little legs, standing around and...
I try to meditate, control my hate just like I know I should
But I can't help myself, and I keep it up because it feels so good
But when I look down at my belly
I can see it's pink and soft and weak
Kneeling down, kneeling on my two legs
Two skinny legs, I'm kneeling down and...
There Are Many Dangers lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
If your toast gets stuck in the toaster
Do not put a fork in the toaster while it is hooked up, or look out
I did and I got caught in the current
Pulled me in and shook me while it held me tight
There are many dangers
They could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
When it's very, very cold out
Do not put your tongue on cold metal things
For example, stop signs
I did and they had to pull some skin off
And then they had to fill my mouth with cotton at night
There are many dangers
They could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
When they'd taken out my tonsils
I brought them home
Kept them in a jar on the shelving in my room
Between the toaster, stop sign, and my tonsils
I've got lots of things to think about at night
There are many dangers
Could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
Do not put a fork in the toaster while it is hooked up, or look out
I did and I got caught in the current
Pulled me in and shook me while it held me tight
There are many dangers
They could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
When it's very, very cold out
Do not put your tongue on cold metal things
For example, stop signs
I did and they had to pull some skin off
And then they had to fill my mouth with cotton at night
There are many dangers
They could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
When they'd taken out my tonsils
I brought them home
Kept them in a jar on the shelving in my room
Between the toaster, stop sign, and my tonsils
I've got lots of things to think about at night
There are many dangers
Could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
Remember all the rules they have for everything
I'm Outlived By That Things lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I threw out a stupid common paperweight
And it went out into the country
To a place where other solid objects lie around
Well, it's quite hard, and so it's probably still there
And when I die, it will still be somewhere
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
A man once took a very famous photograph
Went in books and even lectures
Said it was a monster in the old Loch Ness
Before he died, his wife gave him a backrub
He confessed his lie, he took the picture in the bathtub
Ha-ha, he's outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
Scientists have recently just found out
About a fish they didn't know of
That lives along the bottom of the darkest seas
It doesn't need eyes, it's been there a long while
Since back in the times of giant flying reptiles
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
And it went out into the country
To a place where other solid objects lie around
Well, it's quite hard, and so it's probably still there
And when I die, it will still be somewhere
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
A man once took a very famous photograph
Went in books and even lectures
Said it was a monster in the old Loch Ness
Before he died, his wife gave him a backrub
He confessed his lie, he took the picture in the bathtub
Ha-ha, he's outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
Scientists have recently just found out
About a fish they didn't know of
That lives along the bottom of the darkest seas
It doesn't need eyes, it's been there a long while
Since back in the times of giant flying reptiles
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
