You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get homeBecause something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And somebody points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody else says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, “How does it feel
To be such a freak?”
And you say, “Impossible”
As he hands you a boneBecause something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizationsYou’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well knownBecause something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, “Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan”Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home”Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around
You should be made
To wear earphonesBecause something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?Bob Dylan ~ Ballad of a Thin Man

Had a thing for the ladies for which he did time
He reaped a little more than he could sow
Of the pleasures the Mormons in Utah know
He could not restrain himself when he saw
a nice cabooseSay Ding
Say Dong
That Ding-Dong Daddy he did
sixteen women wrongThe Ding-Dong Daddy had a sensual soul
Lonely women flocked to him and he
loved them all
The train went in the tunnel in the
dark he proposed
The bonds of matrimony in the sweetest prose
The ladies got together and decided
they’d been had
This ain’t Salt Lake and you ain’t Don Juan man
We’ve got to give you credit we was
happy for a time
But you’re the Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-car lineSay Ding

13 November, 2005 at 9:17 pm #138985Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
And it may be a trick of the firelight
But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
Is a book I’m afraid to writeIt’s the book of my days, it’s the book of my life
And it’s cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
And it’s all there to see as the section reveals
There’s some sorrow in every lifeIf it reads like a puzzle, a wondering maze
Then I won’t understand ’til the end of my days
I’m still forced to remember,
Remember the words of my lifeThere are promises broken and promises kept
Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
There’s a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
If I lose everything that I possess
There’s a chapter on loss and a ghost who won’t die
There’s a chapter on love where the ink’s never dry
There are sentences served in a prison I built out of liesThough the pages are numbered
I can’t see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no one can read
In the book of my lifeThere’s a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat
There’s a page where we fail to meetThere are tales of good fortune that couldn’t be planned
There’s a chapter on God that I don’t understand
There’s a promise of Heaven and Hell but I’m damned if I seeThough the pages are numbered
I can’t see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no one can read
In the book of my lifeNow the daylight’s returning
And if one sentence is true
All these pages are burning
And all that’s left is youThough the pages are numbered
I can’t see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no one can read
In the book of my life14 November, 2005 at 12:44 am #138986I never thought you’d be a junkie
Because heroin is so passe.
But today,
If you think that I don’t know
About depression and
Emotional pain,
You’re insane, or your
A fool who hasn’t paid attention
To a word that I say.In a way, I can’t
Help but feel responsible.
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain.But I never thought you’d be a junkie
Because heroin is so passe
Now a-day.
You never thought you’d get addicted,
Just be cooler in an obvious way.
I could say, shouldn’t you have got
A couple peircings and decided
May-be that you were gay.In a way
I can’t help but feel responsible,
I always knew that you were insane
With you painBut I never thought you’d be a junkie
Because heroin is so passe hey.Dandy Warhols ~ Not if You Were The Last Junkie on Earth
14 November, 2005 at 7:02 pm #138987Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread’s in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I
taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes
whole
Whenever I’m filled with doubts that we will be togetherWherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I’m calling out your nameWhenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something’s gonna change
Something’s gonna changeWhenever I say your name, Whenever I say your name, I’m already
praying, I’m already praying
I’m already filled with a joy that I can’t explain
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I’m on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I’m already
prayingWhenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I’m paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the
reason why
Whenever I’m filled with doubts that we will be togetherWhenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring
rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in
pain
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I’m calling out your nameWhenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I’m vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
Whenever I’m holding back the tears that I cryWhenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
I’m already praying
Whatever bread’s in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I
taste
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I’m forced to lie awake and
have to weep
Whenever I’m on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I’m already
prayingWhenever I say your name,
No matter how long it takes,
One day we’ll be togetherWhenever I say your name,
let there be no mistake
that day will last forever14 November, 2005 at 7:23 pm #138988Lovely words who wrote them please?

Do you, do you wanna bleed?
Do you, do you wanna live in vain?
Hey, it’s only life
She’s so afraid to kiss
And so afraid to laugh
Is she runnin’ from her past?
It’s only life
She’s so afraid of love
Is so afraid of hate
What’s she runnin’ from now?Do you, do you wanna scream?
Do you, do you wanna face the strange?
Do you, do you believe?
Are you, are you afraid of change?Yeah, it’s only life
She’s so afraid of death
She’s so afraid to ask
She hides behind her mask
It’s only life
She’s so afraid of pain
So afraid of blame
It’s driving her insane
So insecure
There is no cureWell she’s so afraid
She’s so afraid of death
She’s so afraid, afraid of life
The drama in her head
Getting louder all the time
Getting louder all the time
She’s so afraid, afraid to lose
Been so afraid of fame
Everyday she feels the same
It’s driven her insane
It’s driven her
It’s drive
It’sAfraid by Motley Crue
