METEOR
All lyrics by
Hans Rotenberry

SO AWESOME

Listen, 'cause I'm sayin' it loud
You've waited for your time to come
And it's right now - oh yeah

I'm alive and I'm living the dream
So beautiful and shining bright
Like it's meant to be

CHORUS:
Hey! This is so awesome
I said hey this is so awesome
So Awesome
And that's the truth

I'm writin' all the wrongs
And turning 'em into songs
We'll never be what we should not be
No, I swear, it's everywhere, in overflow
Not giving up - not getting old
Hey!

And it's all coming true
And we know what to do though we never had a clue

(CHORUS)

I'm writin' all the wrongs
And turning 'em into songs
We'll never be what we should not be
No, I swear, it's everywhere, in overflow
Not giving up - not getting old

I'm alive and I'm living the dream
So beautiful and shining bright
Like it's meant to be

They're gonna explain it all to me
I'm gonna listen
Of all the places I could be
Nothing's better than this one

Wide awake and dreaming
Unmisunderstood
Seeing is believing
And I saw it was good

(CHORUS)


DON'T LOOK DOWN


Don't look down
You'll regret it when you hit the ground
Don't look down

Shoulda seen it coming
Big surprise
All we ever wanted - here, tonight

Doesn't make no difference
Still, you try
Trembling like a dancer over the wire

Don't you worry, there's no hurry
Don't let go - no, no, no, no
It takes so long
You can't be wrong
So don't go change your mind

Don't look down
You'll regret it when you hit the ground
Don't look down

But then you never know
What we felt so long ago
Then you gaze into the stars below
And you're taken away so slow

Close the window when the wind blows
Don't get cold - no, no, no, no
Yer up so high
And it's no time
To change yer mind right now

Don't look down
You'd be dead before you hit the ground
No, don't look down

Soon you'll catch your breath and find yer smile
Then it's over for a little while
Don't disappoint the crowd, now

Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down


NFU


We started peakin' after midnight
Yeah, big-time jive and a grin (again)
We woke up sleepin' through a green light
Obscene fright - knifin' the wind!
(and then -)

Jimmy never caught the show
Though I will spare the blow-by-blow
He got sick and the chicks found another way home
(With two-fisted birdies flown)
I drove - 'cause I was

NFU
No I was not
NFU
NFU

Me? I'm a lazy true believer
My fever's rushing on (strong)
Got my blue sunglasses on
I ride into the brilliant dawn
Best of days are still to come I know
I know
NFU
NFU
NFU

See? Now my laughter's like a bad cough
An' I can't get off no more. No more!
Please! Now I'm crashing like a box kite
Gonna rock right out the door

NFU NFU NFU NFU NFU NFU NFU NFU


DISCO AT THE FAIRGROUNDS


Lights are flashing
Cars are crashing in a splash of cologne
Start the Caddy, Sugar Daddy
And she's ready to go...

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Anybody wanna dance with me?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Anybody wanna?

Look out baby, the kid's got moves
We'll teach Manero a thing or two
The ladies love that boogaloo
Comin' thru, coming through, coming through!

We're
Off to the fairgrounds
To the fairgrounds
To the fairgrounds
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Anybody wanna dance with me??

Look out baby, the kid's got moves
We'll teach Manero a thing or two
The ladies love that boogaloo
Comin' thru, coming through, coming through!

Off to the fairgrounds
To the fairgrounds
To the fairgrounds


A LITTLE BETTER

Kicking around with my head in the clouds
Trying to get things moving
Living it up only brings me back down
Now it's in the balance and I'm wantin' for more
First it's on the TV, now it's outside my door

Harder to breathe and there ain't no relief
Keepin' it all together
I don't believe this is how it should be

I'm getting to know myself
A little better
A little better
I'm getting to know myself
A little better
A little better
Oh wow...

Yeah, I sent the message
And it ain't gonna change
Something's bound to happen now
So let me complain -

Life isn't fair but nobody cares
Dying to make improvements
Mumblin' prayers and there's nobody there
Though I might've detected movement
But what can I say?
It's a beautiful day and at least I enjoy the music
Oh wow...

Yeah, I changed the message
'cause it's always the same
One day we'll be laughing
'cause we'll all be insane

Sun's coming out of the rain
And I can't wait to see you today
Nevertheless, I expect a little better
Long as the sun still shines
I can accept if it gets a little better
And I will respond in kind

I'm getting to know myself a little better
A Little Better
I'm getting to know myself
A Little Better
Oh wow...

Sun's coming out of the rain
And I can't wait to see you today.


DREAMCRUSHER MACHINE


I AM THE CAPTAIN OF A DREAM EATING MACHINE
I HOLD THE THIRD KEY TO REALITY
THAT'S ME

I found a heart in a worn-out dream
This belonged to a girl
She died in wait, alas, poor thing
A field of jet-black flags unfurl, Hey!

Singers all go "la-la"
To the rock and the roll
Yer not gonna make it, no!

I will wake you from your dream
I drive the Dreamcrusher Machine
I drive the Dreamcrusher Machine
The Crusher!

YEAH THE FIELDS ARE LITTERED
WITH OTHER HOPES BEGONE
DON'T TELL ME I DON'T HAVE DREAMS
Here, have one!

I will take you from your dream
I drive the Dreamcrusher Machine
I drive the Dreamcrusher Machine
The Crusher!

Drivin' the Dreamcrusher Machine


ALWAYS TOMORROW


Monday morning I forgot to put my mind out
And other things I won't do
Hardly started and the sea's already parted for you

I didn't do it 'cause I can't stop thinking 'bout it
I've got too much on my plate
Lost the map and it ain't gonna happen today

Always tomorrow
If not today, tomorrow

I'm not too worried 'bout the color-coded thing but
I can't believe it's not true
It takes a lot of confusion to feel the way I do

Tell me that it's over
And you don't wanna play
My clock has stopped but it was on the dot
approximately twice today

Meantime, don't you weep
There's no use cryin' if it ain't meant to be
Springtime's up the street
In the royal suite where all the seasons sleep

(SOLO)

Friday evening and I'm thinkin' 'bout thinkin' bout it
I'm only thinking out loud
I've found some use in pretending, not faking
I'm taking the long way around

Always tomorrow
If not today, tomorrow
Always tomorrow
If not today


LET IT FLY


When you looked up
You never thought to wonder
And to the flame you'd flutter like you knew
You had no fear - the choice was clear and
The Heavens smiled down on you
Yer gonna blind us when you shine

And let it fly
Leave a plume in the clear blue sky
Let it fly - you don't even have to try
Yer gonna make it
Yer gonna make it alright

And then - the skies grew dark around you
And all the time you wished you were someone else
You lost yer way - you hoped and prayed still
Providence never found you
And you wait and you wait and you wait
And the days go by

Wanna let it fly
Leave a plume in the evening sky
Let it fly - you don't even have to try
Yer gonna make it
Yer gonna make it alright

And in the end, still dreamin' about that moment
And even then, it's still so hard defined
But don't forget - it's in yer head and
No one can take it from you
So relieved you can believe it one more time

So let it fly
Leave a plume in the midnight sky
Let it fly
Whatever you do, don't let it die
We gonna make it, we gonna make it alright


HEY MOM I GOT THE BOMB


I got The Bomb
Yeah! I got the Bomb
And I'm going to abuse it with particular aplomb
I got The Bomb, yeah I got The Bomb
If you don't think I'll use it you're ridiculously wrong

I spent my money on a one-shot boom thing
Welcome to the club
I'm dumb and ugly and the whole world hates me
Because my time has come

So kick the tires and light the fires
And plug yer ears and run
This is fun!
Hey Mom! I got The Bomb!
Hey Mom I got the Bomb!
Hey mom! I got The Bomb!

All I ever wanted cost me everything I had
Excuse me while I flaunt it since I got it from my dad
Come a little closer - closer if you dare
Something's in the air
'cause I got The Bomb
yeah! I got The Bomb!
And you don't think I'll use it, do ya??!

All join in for the celebration
From my undisclosed location
Right now it's no mystery
We can all go down in history
We'll go down - go down

Hey Mom I got The Bomb
Hey Mom I got The Bomb
Hey Mom I got The Bomb
Hey Mom I got The Bomb
Hey Mom I got The Bomb
Hey Mom I got The Bomb

(Boom)


LATHERMAN SHAVES THE WORLD


So you say that yer world is too scary?
Well yer not the only one!
And you say things is getting too hairy?
A shaver has come!

Tell me yer dreams are all fuzzy
And I'll know just what you mean
Lend yer ear and you'll hear a great buzzing
Baby, I'm a blast of clean

I'm Latherman
Latherman
I'd rather, ma'am
I'm Latherman

Stand in the five o'clock shadow
With yer mad mustachio
Steady hand as I land in the battle - oh!

I'm Latherman
Latherman
I'd rather, ma'am
I'm Latherman

Ooooh -- aahhhh -
Icing on the pie
Ultra g-lide
Such a delight
Smooth from left to right
I'll make you satisfied
And I'll pat the world dry

So you say that yer lost in the jungle?
Underdown and overgrown?
When you think you feel razor-crazy -

Latherman has come to shave the world!
Latherman has come to shave the world!
Latherman and I've come to shave the world...


TIME FOR PIE


It looks so good
You bet I would
And that's no lie
That's no lie

I wanna taste it
Don't go to waste it
It's time for pie
Yeah!

You got it
I want it
I can see it in the glass display

I'm on a diet
I'm gonna die if I don't try it
Say, Mama, slide the pie my way

Mama slide the pie my way!
You can hold the melodrama, comma,
Mama, slide the pie my way
Yeah!

It's steamin'
Tears streamin'
I'm schemin'
I got designs

It looks so good
You know I would
And that's no lie
That's no lie

I wanna taste it
Don't go to waste it
It's time for pie
Yeah!

Mama, slide the pie my way
You can hold the melodrama, comma,
Mama slide the pie my way
