I've got no brain and I'm way past going insane.
I don't have a clue why they sent me away and I don't think I'll see my baby today.
The brain that came back alive.
The scientists tried and died.
My brain is killing everyone.
They put me in this mental home. Yea!
How long will it be, until they bring it back to me?
My brain is in the streets on a killing spree.
The brain that came back alive.
The scientists tried and died.
My brain is killing everyone.
They put me in this mental home.
They said don't be disturbed, no one will get hurt.
It's locked inside the basement, we think we've found the cure.
Then all the glass shattered and the blood splattered.
It only has one weakness. We have to find that girl.

Bye Bye My Darling
02:16
|
|||
|
I gotta leave her but I don't know how.
I have to think of a way somehow.
Maybe I'll date one of her girlfriends but I don't wanna end up like this again.
Her mother told me she's in love with me. My next door neighbor is her cousin Steve. If I break her heart I'll get my ass beat. More than enough reason not to leave.
Bye Bye
Bye Bye My Darling Bye Bye
Bye Bye
Bye Bye My Darling Bye Bye
Sorry but we weren't meant to be.
Everything she does gets on my nerves.
She makes me feel like such a jerk.
If I took the time I could fix things up but like Neal says it's too much like work.
Her daddy told me to treat her right. I must say I really tried.
I wish I could come up with an alibi but I'm wondering what went awry.

Cool It Down
02:49
|
|||
|
Well, I'm in need of some fun real bad.
Don't get me started on the week I've had, oh no.
I need to relax and cool it down and spend some time with the new girl I've found, oh yea.
I know exactly what we'll do. Won't leave the house until we're through.
The city I love's the city I hate. Gonna leave this place and I can't wait.
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba.
Leave all of my troubles behind. I won't be coming back this time, oh no.
Good-bye to the people who were mean to me. Hope that they die from a terrible disease, oh yea.
Not gonna let the way I feel make me wanna let go of the wheel.
I don't care who disagrees. This time I'm doing it all for me.
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba.

Do You Wanna
02:05
|
|||
|
I drive by just to see if his car's there and if it is I wonder what he's doing inside.
In my bed, she's all up in my head and I'm wondering if she'd go for a ride.
Should I call him on the phone? Should I just leave him alone?
I don't know if he really cares.
Should I tell her how I feel? Should I go in for the kill or should I act like I don't even care? There's no time to spare.
Do you, Do you wanna, wanna hang around with me tonight?
You're racing through my heart now. I knew I'd find you somehow.
Whatever you do, whatever you're into, I just wanna be around you.
At the drive-in, the film's about to begin, do you think you could be ready by ten?
If I go with him to the show will he act as sweet as he seems?
If I kiss her too soon will she think I'm a goon? What will I do if she screams?
He's all in my dreams.
Do you, Do you wanna, wanna hang around with me tonight?

Don't Get Married
01:56
|
|||
|
And now you say you're getting married in a big white church.
You said you've really fell in love. He's not the first.
And now you say you're getting married in a big white church.
You said you've really fell in love. He's not the first.
I saw it the newspaper yesterday. Made it even worse.
I tried to sabotage the wedding date. It didn't work.
Don't Get Married. Don't Get Married To Him.
Whoa Oh.
And now you say he makes you happy. It broke my heart.
It makes me wishe we'd spent more time walking in the park.
The time has come. I have to find a way to change your mind.
I'm running out of ideas and of luck, running out of time.
Don't Get Married. Don't Get Married To Him.

Dreaming
02:34
|
|||
|
When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure
I'll have a cup of tea
And tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
We just walk on by
We just keep on dreamingFeet, feet, walking a two mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him
I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away
Radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold
Just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming is free

Figure It Out
01:53
|
|||
|
I can't complain. She calls me everynight and it feels the same but something's just not right.
Strange things you say when you're asleep.
Little secrets that you cannot keep.
Is it me you think of while you're away or should I ask another day?
I can't pretend that there is nothing wrong. It all depends.
Should I stay or should I go?
Strange things you say when you're asleep
Little secrets that you cannot keep.
Is it me you think of while you're away or should I ask another day?
What's left to say when you've been talking all night?
It feels so lame but something's just not right, yea.
I can't keep going on this way thinking about what you would say if I walked out and felt no shame, if I decided I could stay.
Strange things you say when you're asleep.
Little secrets that you cannot keep.
Is it me you think of while you're away or should I ask another day?

Food
01:30
|
|||
|
Food. Food is no good.
I wanna be thin. I'm never eating again.
Food is no good.
La, La, La, La, La
Take away my chocolates. Hide 'em in the closet.
Throw away the cupcakes. Do whatever it takes.
One moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.

Just Like You
02:22
|
|||
|
Why you gotta act like everything is just the end of the world?
You spin around in circles to make me feel like shit.
Once I think that I have landed you spin me back again.
I don't think that you're understanding that I'm about to crack.
I don't wanna end up just like you.
I try to talk about it but it's just no use.
I think the only sensible thing left to do is to leave.
Well, maybe I'll move to New York, the city that never sleeps.
Where finders are keepers and losers are weepers.
Make way for light sleepers.
Everybody thinks I'm a chicken that's got a pigeon's brain.
Like my forehead is labled stupid. I'm just a waste of space.
Just because I look real funny. My hair's always a mess.
Just because I don't think that money can buy me happiness.
I don't wanna end up just like you.
I try to talk about it but it's just no use.
I think the only sensible thing left to do is to leave.
Why you gotta act like I'm so crazy?
It really hurts my feelings at the end of the day.
I think the only sensible thing left to do is to leave.

Not Over It
02:19
|
|||
|
Something snapped inside my brain and nothing will ever be the same.
I try to play cool but I act so lame. I've been staying in my room instead of staying up late.
Ate all the food in the cabinet. Drank all the booze but I'm not drunk yet.
Tried to snooze, lie awake instead. You know I'm a wreck over what you did.
What you did. I'm not over what you did.
Oh my, my for goodness sakes. Maybe I just need to get laid.
Maybe I just need something to break or for someone to slap me in the face.
No Ramones on my headphones. I'm all alone here with George Jones.
My Mom wants me to move back home and delete you from my telephone.
What you did. I'm not over what you did.

So You Say
01:56
|
|||
|
You say you say you're gonna try harder.
You say you say you're gonna be mine.
But yesterday you were 'round the corner and I heard you say to some chick she was looking fine.
You say you say. Or so you say.
You say one thing and turn around and do another.
You're the perfect angel when you're here.
But then the devil whispers in your ear.
I just tell myself you're young and dumb.
One day you'll come around but I'll be gone.
You say you say. Or so you say.
You say one thing and turn around and do another.

I'm Coming Over
01:16
|
|||
|
Are you alone tonight?
Do you think I could come by?
Maybe I'll give you a call and make sure the folks are gone.
We could hang out and have fun. We could turn the radio on.
I'll put my arm around you and...maybe we can kiss again.
Cause I think you are the greatest girl I've ever met.
I feel like we are Romeo and Juliet.
I just wanna let you know that I am so hung up on you.
Wanna be with you forever. 1-2-3-4!
I'm coming over.
I'm coming over tonight.

Thought About You
02:53
|
|||
|
Thought about you today before you went away.
The way you looked at me, the things you used to say, came back into my brain.
I'm pretty sure that you'd agree when you were along with me we didn't wanna play Monopoly, No. Pretty soon we found a new hobby.
Are you the girl that I used to know?
Are you the boy I used to know?
Do you ever think of me? If things had turned out differently?
We used to drive around all night looking for a hidden drive.
What her parents didn't know was she wasn't upstairs doing her homework.
Do you ever think of me? If things had turned out differently?
1-2-3-4!

Time Machine
01:42
|
|||
|
I'm gonna build a time machine so we can be together.
I would love to see the first time that your eyes caught mine.
I remember everything, the movies and the football games.
How good it felt to hold your hand. How good it felt to be your man.
Won't you please take a trip with me?
You could tell me all your dreams and I'd make them come true.
And then you'd have to see how much I care for you.
If I had to wait a year, I'd do it just to have you here.
If you needed air to breathe, take my last breath from me.
Won't you please take a trip with me?
