DINNER BELLI’ve been leaving on my things

so in the morning when the morning bird sings

there’s still dinner on my dinner jacket

‘til the dinner bell rings

Experimental dogSalivating dogGood dogdinner bell dinner bell do the bell thing

dinner bell dinner bell ring

shoulder, bicep, elbow, armforearm, thumb, wrist, knuckle, palmmiddle, pinky, index, ring

dinner bell dinner bell ding

I don’t want a pizza, I don’t want a piece of

peanut brittle, I don’t want a pear.

I don’t want a bagel I don't want a bean I wouldn’t like

a bag of beef or a beer or a

cup of chowder, corn, cake or creamed cauliflower cause I’m

waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing

dinner bell dinner bell ring

I don’t know whether I’d rather be having a bottle of vinegar

I don’t know whether I’d rather be having an egg.

I don’t know whether I’d rather be having an order of bacon

or whether I’d rather be having a basket of garlic bread.

I don’t know whether I’d rather be having some pie or

saving my appetite ‘cause I’m

waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing

dinner bell dinner bell ring

NARROW YOUR EYESI don’t want to change your mindI don’t want to think about your mindThey say love is blind

I don’t think you’re blind

You don’t want to understand

and I don’t want to shake your father’s hand

and walk in the sand

and act like a man

I get on the busand ride past our stop

and though I’m late

I can’t get off

I just can’t bear to tell you some lies

and narrow your eyesnarrow your eyes

We’ll take back every thing we said

Split up all the things and move ahead

Forgot how you said W|to split your side off the bed

I get on my bike

Ride down our block

Ride through the world

Thru the green lights

But when I think of all your advice

I narrow my eyesNarrow my eyes

Now let’s toast the sad cold fact

Our love’s never coming back

and we’ll race to the bottom of a glass

so narrow your eyes

Narrow your eyes

HALL OF HEADSHere in the hall of heads

You look through the keyhole

This is the hall of heads

One step through the doorway

Roll out that special head

This is our favorite onePlease don’t try to leave

Don’t leave the hall of heads

Hide underneath the porch

Hide down behind the furnace

You can’t run awayYour feet won’t let you run

You can’t get awayYou can’t really hide

Once you hear the call

The song of the hall of heads

You can’t run awayYour feet won’t help you run

You can’t run awayOut of the hall of heads

WHICH DESCRIBESHOW YOU'RE FEELINGWhich describes how you’re feeling all the time

Which describes how you’re feeling all the

feeling all the time

There’s this guy in the sky and he makes you want to

want to make you sigh, like the time

when you felt like you’re feeling all the time

and you cried at the cracks in the ceiling all the time

you said “I’m feeling fine” but it didn’t really rhymeit didn’t rhyme, overseas

%r\ describes how you’re feeling all the time

It describes how you’re feeling

Which describes how you’re feeling all the time

when you lie that your life’s unappealing all the time

but your lie doesn’t rhyme with the word overseas

overseas there’s this guywho describes how you’re feeling all the time

in his mind he can find how you’re feeling all the time

from behind distant lines

even straighter than his spine

which is fine

which is fine

and describes how you’re feeling all the time

SEE THE CONSTELLATIONI lay my head on the railroad track

Stare at the sky all painted upYour train is gone, won’t be coming back

See the constellation ride across the sky

No cigar, no lady on his armJust a guy made of dots and lines

Two years ago - moved from my townI was looking up past the city lights

But the city lights got in my way

I found my mind on the ground belowI was looking down - it was looking backI was in the sky all dressed in black

Can you hear what I see in the sky?

IF I WASN'T SHYI’d burn all the uniforms

I’d burn all the “Ask Me” buttons

I’d burn all toe intercoms

I’d burn all the time clock cards

I’d steal somebody’s Cadillac

I’d steal anything I lack

I’d steal all the microphonesfrom all the masters of ceremony

I’d ask you, if you don’t mind,

to kiss you a hundred times

TURN AROUNDI was working all night in my office

when a man I had recently killed

called me up from a phone near my building

so I looked out the window at himhe had the same obsequious mannerthat was the reason I had him killed

so to calm my nerves I sang this songto him, over the phone

Turn around, turn aroundThere’s a thing there that can be foundTurn around, turn aroundIt’s a human skull on the groundHuman skull on the groundTurn around

I was out by myself in the graveyard

I was doing an interpretive dancewhen I felt something heavy and pointed

strike me in the back of my neckand then the ghost of my dance instructor

pushed me down into an open grave

and as dirt rained down she played a xylophone

and sang me this song

We were waving our arms out the windowof a fast-moving passenger train

acting in an irresponsible fashion

until the engineer whose back had been turned

and who we thought would find us highly amusingquickly swiveled his head aroundand his face which was a paper-white mask of evil

sang us this song

HYPNOTIST OF LADIESHe’s a hypnotist, hypnotist of ladies

You’re getting sleepy, very sleepy

He’s a hypnotist, hypnotist of ladies

Never had a pocket watch, never counted backwards

You won’t remember why you liked him

FINGERTIPSEverything’s catching on fire

Yes, everything’s catching on fire

Fingertips

Fingertips

I hear the wind blow

I hear the wind blowIt seems to say: “Hello, Hello,

I’m the one who loves you so.”

Hey now everybody nowHey now everybodyHey now every body now

Who’s that standing out my window?

I found a new friend

underneath my pillow

Come on and wreck my car (repeat)

o

Aren’t you the guy who hit me in the eye? (repeat)

Please pass the milk, Please (repeat)

Leave me alone, leave me alone

Who’s knocking on the wall?

All alone all alone

all by myself

What’s that blue thing doing here?

Something grabbed ahold of my hand

I didn’t know what had my handbut that’s when all my troubles began

I cannot understand youI don’t understand youI don’t understand the things you say

I can’t understand a single wordI don’t understand you

I just don’t understand youI cannot understand youI don’t understand you

I heard a sound, I turned around

I turned around to find the thing

that made the sound

Mysterious whisper (repeat)

The day that love came to play

I’m having a heart attack

I’m having a heart attack (repeat)

Fingertips

Fingertips

I walk along darkened corridors

and I walk along darkened corridors (repeat)
