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

Take me to the promised land now
Take me away

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
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
