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
Take me away
Take me to the promised land now
I don't know why
I don't know why
We bother to cry till we say goodbye girl
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Days are getting longer
Nights are getting colder
I'm drinking more
Turn up as soon as I'm sober
So stand up now
Get really loud
Throw your hands in the air
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
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
I don't know why
I don't know why
Always give up before we even try girl
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Days are getting longer
Nights are getting colder
I'm drinking more
Turn up as soon as I'm sober
So stand up now
Get really loud
Throw your hands in the air
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
