buy the ticket, take the ride
we're going together far and wide
you're a party in a nutshell
with the glitters on the side
And these shoes were made for dancing
Yeah your shoes were made for dancing
As your lips were made to smile
going forward, making strides
Waxing your shoes to let them
Shine
Make it astounding
Below
Sweet and dapper
top toe underneath the lights
to and fro
in disguise
oh oh
Buy the ticket take the ride
We're going together far and wide
Yeah cuz we've got all the stances
My intention's bona fide
And these shoes were made for dancing
Yeah your shoes were made for dancing
As your lips were made to smile
Our bodies move by themselves
Yeah our bodies they just glide
And these shoes were made for dancing
Yeah your shoes were made for dancing
Buy the ticket take the ride
We're going together far and wide
You're a party in a nutshell
with the glitters on the side
And these shoes were made for dancing
Yeah these shoes were made for dancing
As your lips were made to smile
Going forward making strides
Waxing your shoes to let them
Shine
Make it astounding
Below
Sweet and dapper
top toe underneath the lights
to and fro
in disguise
oh oh

A Shot In The Dark
04:00
|
|
||
It’s a shot in the dark
There’s a killer on the loose tonight
The kids are all running away
They don’t get to pick and choose
She is tossed by the waves
But she doesn’t sink
Bullets in the city of light
It’s the match to light the fuse
Save me from tonight
You’re out there sitting alone
Save me from tonight
You haven’t done anything wrong
Peace in our time
To divide and conquer all over again
(I gotta get mine, get mine)
Peace in our time
They’ve got it all twisted looking for revenge
(I gotta get mine, get mine)
It’s a shot in the dark
It’s a whole people on trial tonight
A few radicals ruined the name
Needless to say
You can blame it on the news
Save me from tonight
You’re out there sitting alone
Save me from tonight
You haven’t done anything wrong
Peace in our time
To divide and conquer all over again
They’ve got it all twisted looking for revenge
We can stop the violence, bring it to an end
Brother leave a message, let me know you’re safe
Love conquers all
(I gotta get mine, get mine)

She comes home
All sugar and cinnamon
tomorrow
five thousand miles
away
But her time here is limited
travels, await
No postal code
Without a map
To go
On the road
All sugar and cinnamon X3
Five years in
How I miss the shenanigans
Remember?
The whimsical days
We’d try
About a teaspoon of anything
Jacks of all trades
No postal code
Without a map
To go
On the road
All systems go
(desert sands to everlasting snow)
Take me in tow
(always looking fo a place to go)
May I come aboard
(planes and trains halfway around the world)
Does it strike a chord?
(it’s your oyster and you are the pearl)
And you are
All sugar and cinnamon X6

Fun & Games
03:05

It’s all fun and games
You play hide and seek
Everytime we meet
It’s all fun and games
Speaking in charades
Let’s call a spade a spade
It’s all fun and games
The hammer and the nail
You call it, heads or tails?
Open up the gates
You say it’s sink or swim
Oh darling let me in
There’s no time to waste
I don’t mean to fight
Trying really hard for the words to come out right
Boy, just roll the dice
You just might get lucky beat the odds and win the prize
And if you play your cards right
You just might get lucky beat the odds and win the prize
It’s all fun and games
I’ll be your one eyed jack
And you can be my dame
And we can play all through the night

I Choose Elaine
03:39
|
|
||
I own a toothbrush in every neighborhood
(clean mouth and a dirty mind)
Lovers, of all shapes and colors
Now I met this broad that really got me hooked
(mean mouth and a lovely mind)
Others feel humdrum, oh brother
And so I choose Elaine
Because us two just ain’t the same
I’ve been around town and felt a lot of pillows
But all the other girls were just to prepare for her
And so I choose Elaine
I’m done with writing love songs
The birds and bees they’re all right
Thought all the good ones were gone
Every now and then
Backstage playing mah jong
Her pink hair and her green eyes
Showed up I knew we belong
Every now and then
But I still choose Elaine
(she is all right)
Even if she loses my name
(she is all right)
I’ve been around town and felt a lot of pillows
But all the other girls were just to prepare for her
(all right)
And so I choose Elaine
(pink hair, green eyes, she is all right)

Skeleton Key
05:53
|
|

I don’t know
Where the story goes
There’s a whisper in the river bed
There’s a whisper in their vacant heads
We are a ticking bomb
With the skeleton key
From mister Barnaby
We’re on a mission to expand our minds
Discoveries of the trance like state
New living fossils on a tuesday night
Sick of redundance I’m so sick of redundance
Motionless vacations
We saw the textures and the sound unite
No second guessing in the house of dreams
Divine fiber at the speed of light
Down at the giant’s crossway
We saw the moon turn to vivid red
Imaginary numbers
I don’t know
Where the story goes
There’s a whisper in the river bed
There’s a whisper in their vacant heads

Great Escape
03:00
|
|
||
She doesn’t like her face to be touched
She doesn’t want you to lean on her
She likes it smooth and she likes it rough
She doesn’t speak much
And it’s a blessing and a curse
Yeah, it’s a blessing and a curse
She rolled the dice
She ran out of luck
And got stuck, all work and no play
She sailed away, jumped off the docks
And in a way (it was her)
G. R. E. A T. E.S.C.A.P.E.
It was her great escape
She hit the swell
She was swell just as such
Coming back with so much to tell
I fell too soon like a guy in a rush
I know that much, she was my
Great escape
Come on boy take it easy
She is strikingly free
Give her some time and some space
Let her feel the cool breeze
Come on boy take it easy
She is strikingly free
She is your pie in the sky
Let her feel the cool breeze
G. R. E. A T. E.S.C.A.P.E.
It was her great escape

A telegram for a rendez-vous
woohoo woohoo
I'll cling to you like a kangaroo
woohoo woohoo
So I put on my flamingo shirt
try not to look so excited
We get wasted off brazilian drinks
back to her place she invites me
it's riveting
her birthday suit
quite interesting
From top to bottom
Say the word and I will stick like glue
Woohoo woohoo
Did I bite off more than I can chew
Woohoo woohoo
So I put on my flamingo shirt
try not to look so excited
We had breakfast in broken down shack
but we were both delighted

Panthère

Dans mon hublot
De Bamako à St-Nazaire
Je suis une halte routière
Un vol de Vancouver à Tokyo
Oooooooohoooooooooh
Tu es une belle grande panthère
Mon coeur fermement pris entre tes crocs
Des milles en l’air
Dans mon vaisseau
Oh
Tourbillonaire
Un air nouveau
Oh
Gabriel L.B. Malenfant (Radio Radio)
Que c’est beau quand shine on est haut haut
oh..
On est high on est haut, on est high on est haut
oh..
Verse
Toi tu penses j’un gipsy man
Moi pis toi c’est la gipsy thang
Promène comme une poof de vent
Veint right back boomerang
Backpack dans la galaxie
Pousse en l’air pour s’sauver la vie
Moi pis toi qui s’perdre dans le temps
L’moment où on sent plus en vie
Plus que loin
C’était plus que ça
Laisse toute aller pour trouver là bas
Mes pieds qui grab le sol
On est gone à Sedona
Nos racines pis des feuilles dans le vent
C’est pour ça j’tai dans mes bras
Pis ça feel bein
Feel right bein
Le lendemein est rendu loin
Quance t’es long gone dans le ciel
Bounces right back
Su le bon chemin
On est gone pis ça feel bein ein
On est gone pis ça feel bein
On est gone pis ça feel bein ein
Bounces right back sur le bon chemin
Mon passeport qui prend la poussière
Comment faire pour te plaire à demi-mots?

Some Of Us
03:54

Outside
What you gonna do?
There’s no one on the beach
Sometime after noon
There’s nothing left to see
There’s nothing left to do
Outside
What you gonna do?
Stranded on the road
There’s a shelter on the hill
But there’s no one on the phone
And they’re shooting for the kill
Outside
What you gonna do?
Some of us will lead
When the land is lost to the sea
Some of us it seems
Are a distant memory
Some of us will lead
There’s no comfort in defeat
And the gods will speak
They’re the ghost in the machine
Some of us will die
40 days and 40 nights
Some of us will weap
Sitting on the edge of our seats
