Cinrella Search

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines The light at the end of the bottle Alcoholic alphabet, through the looking glass The proof in my own reflection, reflection Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search Cinderella search, search On the rebound, fumbling all the lines Decay on the vertical hold With a horizontal in conversation needs translation Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search Cinderella search On the rebound, writing all the lines Dreaming bartender's bourbon and the saxaphone Out of luck, out of charm I forgive rejections In cigarette city only courting the holding of direction On the Cinderella search, Cinderella search But the samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken Swam through the nicotine seas and we exchanged the kiss of life Resurrection in a trance, the mortal, the grail In a marquee of promises I touch the dream, I hold the dream I have the dream to end the Cinderella search, Cinderella search Oh no more, no more Exposing the bedside manners on a work extension Awaiting development with paranoid polaroid eyes, polaroid eyes The footman memorized the number but the prince still holds Both the slippers and would you leave a palace For a bedsit in Canterbury Tales, Canterbury Tales Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine? I'll never really know for sure, you never really gave me time Gave me time, won't you give me the time? Welcome back to the circus Welcome back to the circus Welcome back to the circus I always use the cue sheets but never the nets Always the cue sheets but nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, Welcome back to the circus!

Lady Nina

You pick out your credit cards and check into the night A dozen tequilas and you're feeling alright So you swim to the disco, out of your depth, cheated gigolo Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone But there's one place left to go before the taxi home After all, you made your marks One night you'll play Elizabeth Taylor The next night you're Marilyn Monroe Forever kissing frogs that think they're princes Oh Lady Nina, where'd all the romance go? Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at six The makeup hides the bruises and the tears so they never show 'cause your beauty is the only thing you've ever owned It's the only way you've ever known to make your marks You made your marks, you made your marks We believe it's for real Lady Nina, I'd love to take you home with me But I love my wife and I love my family I've got a good job, responsibilities And I need to keep respect from society I know you'll never act with me, I know that you're in love with me So how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night? Was I all right, did you come tonight, Lady Nina? You made your marks, you made your marks Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light And Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the night Just made your marks, just made your marks Just made your marks, just made your marks You made your marks Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light And Edith Piaf sings a lullaby for the night Just made your marks, just made your marks You made your marks, and you made your marks Just made your marks, and you made your marks Just made your marks

Freaks

Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst potential? Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter how experimental? Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your hometown? Did you think you were buying safety when you bought that piece of ground? She said all the best freaks are here She said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me So I said all the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me Have you ever woke up, sweating in the middle of the night? You search the darkness and you're scrambling for the light Have you ever walked down the street, heard bootsteps following you? Don't worry my son, you've got the spook squad looking after you He said all the best freaks are here He said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me So I said all the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me Stop staring at me Airport terminal, patiently waiting on the last call You feel the eyes burn the back of your head Sign the autograph, get out of the picture, gonna have the last laugh Feel the whispers as you head for the plane Stop staring at me Love and linen sheets seem so very far away You save your pennies and you buy another day But after all it's only hide and seek, just another game There's so much fun to be had when you're living with a name All the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me All the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me Oh, stop staring at me, oh, stop staring at me They said all the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me All the best freaks are here All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

Tux On

Tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on He resides down at the bingo on a lucky friday night The match was rained off saturday but the panel came in right On sunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub And on monday you went to London to pick the cheque up with your mum You had a tux on, mmm, you had a tux on The first time you had a tux on, lucky man There's a photo on the mantlepiece, when you bought your first guitar And your girlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star You knew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall The first time and the last time that you thought you had control You had a tux on, lucky man, you had a tux on You got a tux on, tux on Now you're touring stadiums, you've let it go too far Standing with your manager, your back to every bar Blowing on your credit cards, chopping out the pain Crowding into toilets with a host of your new-found friends You got a tux on, nothing's changed, you got a tux on Lucky man with a tux on, you're still the same with a tux on It was eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it wouldn't rain The brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue-black vein His razor'd more than lines end, they found him just too late The final performance, the main man lies in state With a tux on, look at him now with a tux on The last time with a tux on, take him away with a tux on Somewhere in a tenement, in a well-thumbed magazine Someone finds a photograph that triggers off a dream The uniform that symbolizes the comfortable life He's always known his luck's in but now he's found the drive He's got a tux on, look at him now with a tux on He's gonna get one with a tux on, free admission with a tux on Get it anyway with a tux on, he's got a tux on The easy way with a tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on
