David's Toys 03:49
David loves his toys a lot. He likes to take them out and show them too the girls and boys. David never says a lot. Ya hear the sounds but it don't mean a thing. David never likes to mention that he'd like to take your toys away. He likes to play monopoly. He likes to own the greens, the reds, the blues, the railroads too. David has to own them all. He likes to win cause winning says it all. David never likes to mention that he'd like ya in his toy box too. Stack it all away, fill it up with all your dirty pay. Everyone must pay. Cause David needs it more than me. David needs it more than me and you. David breaks his toys a lot, but that's ok he can throw them all away. There's plenty in the parking lot so watch your toys cause David is on his way. David never likes to mention that he'd like ya in his toy box too. David never likes to mention that he'd like ya in his toy box too.

Lisa Sings 03:00
Pretty songs Lisa sing's. Songs about mornings and red sun rise. Songs about lovers and lovers lost. She sings to me High above me I hear the melody. Takes me over and sets me free. Sing to me Lisa your angel voice. Gives gifts to me. Sing to me Lisa your angel voice tears me open and heals the pain. Come sit beside me and lay your hands, she brings gifts to me, gifts to me. Pretty songs Lisa sings. Songs about children and childish things. Songs about shelter and pain of love. She sings to me.

Words are the riddle of my life. And letters are takers of my time When it all comes down to the green and red. I sometimes think I'd be better off dead Words are the riddle of my life. Yeah gimme a dream like a statue full of liberty, give me a name like Lucky Johnson, King of Trains. Man is a riddle I can't stand. People are a poison in my hands. Lock you up way down in a hole, cry till your soul can't cry no more. Man is a riddle I can't stand. Yeah gimme a dream like a statue full of liberty, give me a name like Lucky Johnson, King of Trains. Love is a treasure I can't find. And lovers are a light the strikes me blind. Start so soft, act so kin.Ends like a shot of turpentine. Love is a treasure I can't find. Yeah gimme a dream like a statue full of liberty, give me a name like Lucky Johnson, King of Trains.

Gone Away 05:15
Fever fever flow I'm gone away again. Use the highways the back roads might be closed. Tell me, tell me spell me off a while. Something on my windshield, my my. Take it easy take it slow and easy take me. Up the ramp and in the slow and easy lane. All my troubles, all my hopes and dreams, they've gone away. Ladies take the fast way. I'm gone away again, Lord no. I'm gone away again. Snow and ice the blizzard blows, won't ya keep it in the ruts Joe. Take it easy, take it slow, I... I've got the pain. She fell down and broke her crown. Lord, and I'm not the same. Take it easy, take it slow. I'm gone away again, Lord no. I'm gone away again. Prayed to God and I've played to God, I've begged away. Someone cut the phone lines, or the bill it wasn't paid. Take me down, please take me down I put me in my grave. Lay me down beside her I'm gone away again. Fever fever flow I'm gone away again. Use the highways the back roads might be closed. Tell me, tell me spell me off a while, Something on my windshield my my my my!

Inside your secret room you straighten all the pictures takes you hours, then ya tell yourself the walls ain't true. You wash your hands and rinse the plates until you shake they start to break oh well, the pattern didn't sit well with you. And now your telephone keeps screaming out the two tones that the English use on all their tiny police cars. Somebody selling you a picture of a picture of you dancing at a Baptist tent revival. There's nothing out of place there's nothing here to cause disgrace people never gonna see a spot on you. You buy the things you need you pay the man until you bleed. Even if he hasn't got a thing on you. And now your telephone keeps screaming out the two tones that the English use on all their tiny police cars. Somebody selling you a picture of a picture of you dancing at a Baptist tent revival. Your standing in the clear you've made your shadow disappear, walking in the darkness when the moon is gone. When will you realize your truth is just a bed of lies covers made of roses and a pillow of thorns. And now your telephone keeps screaming out the two tones that the English use on all their tiny police cars. Somebody selling you a picture of a picture of you dancing at a Baptist tent revival.

Quarters 03:29
Oh You took my toys away. Afternoons a wasting while My debt to you is paid. Yeah you took my years away. Do ya think that you could send em back to me today. Take the quarters off my eyes. Send em back to me today. Throw them in the well. Heads or tails don't matter. Yeah I see you on the stage. Fingers flying faster while your cattle bow to pray. Yeah you got some nerve Id say. Try to rule the heavens while the world it falls away. Take the quarters off my eyes. Send em back to me today. Throw them in the well. Heads or tails don't matter. Hmmm I see you on parade. Cotton candy smiling while the music bangs away. Yeah You took my world away. Do you think that you could send it back to me today? Take the quarters off my eyes. Send em back to me today Throw them in the well. Heads or tails don't matter. It don't matter anyways. It don't matter anyways.

Well you took me too the station, when I was ten years old. Yeah you took me too the station, when I was ten years old. You said pick yourself a fast one, because you got to go. Well the sun burns on the rails here, the whistle screams out all your lies. Yeah the sun burns on the rails here, the whistle screams out all your lies. And I think about my brother, I spit your name out as I cry. Bet your dancing with your new man, and drinking fine liquor too. Bet your dancing with your new man, and drinking fine liquor too. If my daddy was still living, he'd drive this train right over you. Know I don't know where I'm going, I only know just where I been. Know I don't know where I'm going, I only know just where I been. But you watch yourself now mama, I might be back this way again.
