"Oooh La-La!" (2010)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
It's not much but it suits me fine

Call me thief or call me bum
It's squatter's rights where I come from
Don't show your face don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

I'm not from here, I don't care
You can go to hell while I comb my hair
I might be right, I might be wrong
Just listen to the words of my goddamn song

Call me snake or call me rat
Its squatter's rights from where I'm at
Don't show your face, don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

So stay the hell off my new land
While I pick my teeth and shoot tin cans
I'll be sittin' right out here
Workin' on my tan and drinkin' my beer

You can call my mother nasty names
It's squatter's rights from where she came
Don't show your face, don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

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

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

"Songs Of The Unforgiven" (2004)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run

Start your engines, gentlemen
There's not much time to wait
Remember there's no going back
Once we open up the gate

Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run

The stakes are high, the moon is up
The drinks are flowing free
They've bet on all the horses
Now they can only wait and see

Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run
Yes, in life, you've had your run

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

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

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 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

"Puss 'n' Boots" (2003)

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

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
Its gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

I see you touch your hip
I see you bite your lip
I'll miss it, when you get to movin' on
And when I trip
On them girly strips,
They'll be just like you, or any other one

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

I wanna just pretend
But I know in the end
That I will never win like this again
But if I have to choose
I think I'd rather lose
The easy way has always been my friend

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

Everything Is Better With Me lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm gonna take you down
And I don't fool around
With no talkin'
I'll take you for a ride
I'll make you feel inside
What I'm feelin'

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

You'll be hypnotized
By my beady little eyes
You can't help it
And in you're walking sleep
You'll feel it way down deep
And you'll want it

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

I'll light your cigarette
And stroke your pretty head
In the mornin'
And when you're laying there
With my fingers in your hair
You'll get thinkin'

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

Triple Master Blaster lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Make it stronger, take it faster
Fake it longer, make it last her
Natural causes, fake disasters
Teeth and claws and slaves and masters

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

Fake the price and push it higher
Make it back and sell the buyer
Throw the ball and fetch that stick
And chase your tail until you're sick

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

Pump the hand, close the deal
Then stuff it in and lick the seal
Turn it up and make it louder
Suck it back and feel the power

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

I'm The Man (That You Are Not) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Here's a nasty little queen
There's a boy who loves his mother
Here's another operator
Thinkin' that he's got it covered

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

Here's some white boy doin' time
There's one that got out
Here's another brother who seems to think
He knows what it's about

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

I'm the one just sittin' back
Waitin' here alone
I stay inside and shut the blinds
Do everything by phone

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

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'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

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

Flying Feeling lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm going to the quick of the nail
I'm going to the bone
I'm gonna sharpen up my steel
I'm lookin’ for the blood in the stone

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'

And show you how good I feel

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone
I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone

I'm gonna find my way right to that hot spot
I'm gonna be the one

I'm gonna get it done

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone
I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone

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'll bend upon my knees to help you, baby
I wanna make it easy for you too
And when I finally get to please you, baby
You’ll want to take your turn and try me too

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
and I won’t let you get away next time
and when I finally get my hands upon you
I know I'll make you want me one more time

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

Bye Bye Baby, Goodbye lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Take that back or I'll mess you up
I've had it up to here
Get back in your car and drive
And put it in high gear

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Take that dog and tie her up
Let the bitch bark all night
Feel your trigger finger itch
You're spoilin' for a fight

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin’ it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Take that dish and reel her in
Kiss her on the head
Take that wish and put it back
Inside your silly head

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

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

Never Bother Looking Back lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

It felt real nice
I didn't think twice
It felt real good
Like I knew it would

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

It felt real fine
It was all mine
It's not too strong
It didn't last for long

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

It felt real good
Like I knew it should
It felt so good
Like I knew it would

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

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

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

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

A-dashing through the snow

Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

One-horse open sleigh
One-horse open sleigh
One-horse open, one-horse open
One-horse open sleigh

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

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in [Incomprehensible] this Blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn
The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born, the Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings, rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway, the Son of God to find

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

We Three Kings lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Heaven sings Alleluia
Alleluia, the earth replies

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

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

Silent Night lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven a-far
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

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

I Don't Care That You Don't Mind lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I said, "I'm drinkin' up.
Would you like a belt yerself?"
You said, "Thanks, but no thanks,
I don't drink, myself.
But you go right ahead, my friend,
I'm not the sort that minds."

"That's good to hear," I said
"Because I think you'll find
that I don't care that you don't mind."

I said, "I'm lightin' up.
Would you like a puff?"
You said, "Thanks, but no thanks,
I don't do that stuff.
But you go right ahead, my friend,
I'm not the sort that minds."

"That's good to hear," I said
"Because I think you'll find
that I don't care that you don't mind."

I said "Let's do the nasty,
I like it when it's rough."
You said, "Well, I'm not so sure
I like that kind of stuff.
But I'll roll over just for you
And take it from behind."

"That's good to hear," I said
"Because I think you'll find
that I don't care that you don't mind."

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...

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

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

Little Secret lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Just don't tell the things you know
Never show the things you see
Let's keep this little secret with you and me

First come outside here with me
I know it's night, but I can see -
That's right, step out, take my hand
And I'll help to make you understand

Just don't tell the things you know
Never show the things you see
Let's keep this little secret with you and me
Let's keep this little secret with you and me

I like nights when there's no moon
I like suckin' on snakebite wounds
I like thinkin' bout you and me
Twined up in the grass by the apple tree

Just don't tell the things you know
Never show the things you see
Let's keep this little secret with you and me
Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Bite my lip and make it bleed
My heart is running twice the speed
If you wanna know just how I feel
Listen to the sound of my spinnin' wheels

Just don't tell the things you know
Never show the things you see
Let's keep this little secret with you and me
Let's keep this little secret with you and me

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

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

Yer Devil Ways lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Don't let a crawdad bite yer toe
The dirty little thing will never let go
Don't let your car go off the road
Remember that your haulin' a heavy load

You with the beady piggy eyes

Just don't come 'round here no more
Temptin' me with yer devil days

You with the beady piggy eyes
Go and live yer devil ways

Temptin' me with yer devil days

Don't let a doggy bite yer leg
Whup him on the ass and tie him to a peg -
Don't tell me that your shit don't stink
It's worse than the puke in the kitchen sink

You with the beady piggy eyes
Go and live yer devil ways
Just don't come 'round here no more
Temptin' me with yer devil days

Put up your dukes or stop that talkin'
That's my woman so quit yer gawkin'
Keep yer fingers off my truck
Remember that it's mine, you fuck

You with the beady piggy eyes
Go and live yer devil ways
Just don't come 'round here no more
Temptin' me with yer devil days

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't you try everything while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things

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

Just Chillin' lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

You said you like mixin' it up
I said I don't like to chat
You said you smoked the big kahunas
I said I'm not like that

I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin'
So don't be spillin' your stuff on me
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby

You said you played some pocket pool
I said I played some myself
You wanna try it together sometime
I only play by myself

I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin'
So don't be spillin' your stuff on me
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby

You've got your friends in high places
Babe, I can pull my own strings
You said I'm a name in a phone book
I don't have one of those things

I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin'
So don't be spillin' your stuff on me
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby

You said we're cogs in a great big machine
Babe, I've got the right tools
You said it's all just a crazy dream
Well, I've got plenty of fuel

I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin'
So don't be spillin' your stuff on me
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin'
So don't be spillin' your stuff on me
I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby

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!"
YEAH!

I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I want to par-tay! P-par-tay!
I want to par-tay! Par-tay!
Par-tay! par-tay!
I want to par-tay! Par-tay!
I want to...

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

Get You In The Morning lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I want it cheap, I want it now
I want it fast, and I want it with feeling
I want it deep, I want a vow
I want it to last, and I want it with meaning

I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning

I am the cheap, I'm right here now
I'm moving fast, and I've got the feeling
I'm going deep, I've made my vow
It is my last, and it's the one I'm keeping

I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning
I will come and get you in the morning

I'm on my game, I walk the walk
I smell the smell, and I feel the feeling
It's in my name, I talk the talk
I ring the bell, and I do the dealing

I am the name, I am the walk
I've got the smell, and I've got the feeling
I'm going deep, I'm going fast
I'm going now, and I'm going with meaning

I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning
I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning
I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning
I will come and get you in the morning

Pissed With Me lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

You try to play it cool, but you're pissed with me
In the swimming pool where you kissed with me
You're a shiny jewel, two-fistin' drinks on me
You're a killing tool, you're getting pissed with me

Pissed with me, baby
All night long
Pissed with me, baby
All night long

Another drink and a little ice
Would be quite good, I think, baby, don't think twice
You say we're kissin' cousins, well that's very nice
Baby, I've kissed dozens, you've got that extra spice

Kissin' with me, baby
All night long
Kissin' with me, baby
All night long

I've been having some trouble, someone's dickin' with me
I think I must have a double who's been frickin' with me
Well, he seems like fun, he looks just like me
He's doing everyone, so you be stickin' with me

Stickin' with me, baby
All night long
Stickin' with me, baby
All night long
Pissed with me, baby
All night long
Kissin' with me, baby
All night long

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

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

I Love Your Goo lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I love your guts, I love your goo
Your ugly blood, your creepy heart
The heart that's true to me and you
I thank you

I'd eat your gum, I'd eat your goo
I love the blood that lights your eyes
And makes your lips the color blue
I thank you

Your flesh and your insides
Your blood and your outsides
You're blameless and I'm shameless

I am the shit upon your shoe
Your creepy blood is in my heart
The heart that's true to me and you
I thank you

Your flesh and your insides
Your blood and your outsides
You're blameless and I'm shameless

I'm in the mud, I'm in the goo
Your face is cold, your lips are blue
But your heart is true to me and you
I thank you

Your flesh and your insides
Your blood and your outsides
You're blameless and I'm shameless

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

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

"A Worm's Life" (1996)

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

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

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

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...

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

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

All Of This Ugly lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I was walking through the country
And passing through lovely scenery
When I came upon some rotting remains
And though the carcass was wormy
Well, after all, it's all part of nature's art of cleaning

And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly

When my job was garbageman
I'd go out and empty the garbage cans
And I'd come upon some rotting remains
But we'd drive them outside town
And fill the land, and make hills that you could walk around on

And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly

If I were born as a vulture
I'd fly out and circle high in the air
And I'd look out for rotting remains
And if they weren't quite dead yet
A little bite would help things so I could get started

And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly

An Old Scab lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I sit each morning
Look at my empty notebook
The room is quiet
The air conditioning sounds like rain falling

Manic-depressive composer Robert Schumann
When he could not write
He'd get down on his knees and he would pray for help

It's not as bad as eating your own liver
But still, I'd like to think that there are better methods

I try to tackle the page that lay before me
But then I drift off and think about the concept of ben-wah balls
I rouse myself and I finish washing dishes
Make lists of errands
Make all my phone calls
And then I pray for help

But each time I try to make a fresh stab
I end up just picking at an old scab

My Own Sunrise lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

When we met, it was in the hot green jungle
Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal
You would sweat coconut milk and
I'd lie awake, restless with the heat during the night

Dawn would come and I would start to feel my own sunrise
But you'd just lie, sleeping

And so we went away in search of gentler breezes
When we arrived, I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses
But you would not permit me to retire there
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg

Dawn would come and I would start to feel my own sunrise
But you'd just lie, sleeping

Then we moved on until we reached the tundra in the winter
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air
But now I've grown bloated on seal fat
Not even flies will settle on the meadow of her leg

Dawn would come and I would start to feel my own sunrise
But you'd just lie, sleeping

I'm A Dog lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm a dog, and I can smell your smell right through your clothes
And I espouse some views that you yourself just might not hold
Sometimes I am given pause to think when
I consider what we could call the good life

When it comes to the city versus the country life
Well, I must say that I far prefer a farmer's wife
Breakfast with the master in the morning
Feel the breeze and brush against a cow's leg - mmm!

But it seems the thinkers you call greatest are
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away
How can they help but drag the species down?

There's some debate about whether instincts should be held in check
Well, I suppose that I'm a liberal in this respect
I can't say I liked Robinson Crusoe
But at least he didn't tie his dogs up at night

And it seems the thinkers you call greatest are
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away
How can they help but drag the species down?

How come all your poets fall into despondencies?
And then write it down for us to read every indignity?
Not such worthy specimens, these creatures
Hardly fit for what you could call the good life

And it seems the thinkers you call greatest are
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away
How can they help but drag the species down?
How can they help but drag the species down?

Swatting Files lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Now that I've used up all my ideas
Here in my little house by the sea
I search for a usable memory but none comes to me

In grade one, my teacher could do embalming
She'd stuff the bodies of dead little birds
She told us if ever we found one, just to bring it to her

And in the science room was an iguana
It lay very still in its cage
And we'd feed him living flies

Then she'd read the old testament to us
But first she'd remind us the stories were true
And we'd hear of locusts and plagues and the tortures they knew

And in the science room was an iguana
I remember it now in my house by the seaside
Swatting flies

"God Shuffled His Feet" (1993)

God Shuffled His Feet lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So he said:"Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him: "I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

Afternoons And Coffeespoons lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
I've had my lungs checked out with X rays
I've smelled the hospital hallways

Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order
I gave the doctor my description
I've tried to stick to my prescription

Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons ans T.S. Eliot

Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I will get back
I've watched the summer evenings pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi...

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

In The Days Of A Caveman lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

When you go on camping trips you're stuck right out in nature
Foraging the forests like a primate
Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates

Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you're not a wild beast
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bedtime

See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys

Sometimes when I lie awake I hear the rainfall on my tent fly
I think of all the insects that are sleeping
And wonder if the animals are dreaming

See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys

In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors

And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in technicolor
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
Alive and being fed inside a zoo cage

Swimming In Your Ocean lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

When I'm sampling from your bosom
Sometimes I suffer from distractions like
Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?

[CHORUS]
When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
An scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you'll understand

When I kneel before your bounty
Sometimes I wonder if there could be really
UFO's that come from other planets

And when you let me taste your fingers
I take them like fruit and as I linger I
Wonder if my seed will find purchase in your soil ...

Here I Stand Before Me lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X ray
Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day
The room was dark and my skeleton was floating on the wall
My voice trembles down inside me
I'm trapped way down in my body

[CHORUS]
I, I, I, oh here I stand before me
But something's out of place here
My mind's eye is missing from my body
Well I know it's there but I can't see where

Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean to me?
You can easily look them up in the dictionary:
They call them digits, or technically they're known as the "philanges"
My joints connected up inside me
Way down deep inside my body

My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body
My vital organs just churn away inside me
Some day they're going to stop this motion
And I'll be left with...

My my, the future lay before me
Hey hey, deep inside my body

I'll Think I'll Disappear Now lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Running into you like this without warning
Is like catching a sniff of tequila in the morning
But I'll try, I'll try to keep my food down
That's quite an after-taste that you've left now that you're not around

You can just pretend we're not in the same room
Well, alright, I'll just mosey to the bathroom
You flew by like a summer vacation
And you left me with TV-movies and a messy kitchen

I think I'll disappear now, slip out sideways
Just for awhile - but until then I'll stay in and sleep late, excuse me

I'll buy a fast car, I'll drive fast from here
There's a beach I haven't seen since last year -
It's far, but I like night drives;
It just makes it nicer when I do arrive

Aren't you going to miss me?
Aren't you going to even say one thing to me anymore?

Well, you can bet that I'll forget how it was then:
All the drives to your farm for the weekend ...
But I've seen the swimsuit magazines
And I've smelled tequila the first thing in the morning

How Does A Duck Know? lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

How does a duck know what direction south is?
And how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?
You can cut a chicken's head off
and it will keep on running and twitching

[CHORUS]
When everything seems planned out
when everything seems nicely planned out
well the human race will come and smack your face

How come all my body parts so nicely fit together?
All my organs doing their jobs, no help from me!
A person pulls a spider's leg out
To watch it keep on moving and twitching.

Satan lives here: on grain and earth, rain and air.

How come I just smoke and smoke and smoke
and curse every butt I spit out?
All night long I grind my teeth and I wake up when I cough
You can put me in and iron lung
and I will keep on breathing and twitching.

When You Go Out With Artists lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

When I go out with artists
They talk about language and the cubists and the dadaists
And I try to catch their meanings
And keep up with all the martinis
I don't know which should be my favorite paintings

If I could see, if I could see, if I could
See all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I
Could meet the artists, and get to know them personally

If I were David Byrne
I'd go to galleries and not be too concerned
Well I would have a cup of coffee
And I'd find my surroundings quite amusing and
People would ask me which were my favorite paintings

What if the artists ran the TV?
All the ads would be for fine scotch whiskey:
Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, the whole single malt family

The artists of the future
Will make up new things and different nomenclatures
And they'll stand amongst their pictures
And they'll sing and laugh and quote from scriptures and
When they go home they'll dream of brilliant paintings
