Long Time Lyrics - Cake
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your pillbox hat.
It's been a long time,
Since we drove your Po-o-o-o-o-o-ontiac.
It's been a long time,
Since you gave me bu-u-u-u-u-u-u-utterflies
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen it bu-u-u-u-u-u-urning in your eyes.
But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
It's been a long time,
Since we tripped into this ditch.
It's been a long time,
Since we drank the ar-r-r-r-r-r-rsenic
It's been a long time,
Since we've been insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide of this tomb.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your e-e-e-e-e-expensive French perfume.
But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
But I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
Next to me
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your pillbox hat.
It's been a long time,
Since we drove your Po-o-o-o-o-o-ontiac.
It's been a long time,
Since you gave me bu-u-u-u-u-u-u-utterflies
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen it bu-u-u-u-u-u-urning in your eyes.
But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
It's been a long time,
Since we tripped into this ditch.
It's been a long time,
Since we drank the ar-r-r-r-r-r-rsenic
It's been a long time,
Since we've been insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide of this tomb.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your e-e-e-e-e-expensive French perfume.
But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
But I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
Next to me
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.
Got To Move Lyrics - Cake
You have always got to move,
You're always trying to prove that,
There is something new in,
Everything you do.
You are mostly in your car,
You always seem so far,
No matter where you are,
You're thinking of your car,
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to...
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new,
In everything you do.
You are mostly on the phone,
You say you're coming home,
You say you're all alone,
But I know you're not alone.
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to move.
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new in,
Everything you do.
[Repeat X3]
You're always trying to prove that,

You're thinking of your car,
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to...
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new,
In everything you do.
You are mostly on the phone,
You say you're coming home,
You say you're all alone,
But I know you're not alone.
And everything you say,

For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to move.
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,

What's Now Is Now Lyrics - Cake
You should've told me when it all began
You should've told me long ago
Someday I know you're gonna find
Just one mistake is not enough to change my mind
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
And if the doubting faces made you go
It's only mine that matters now
Those looks will soon begin to fade
If you come back and show them all you're not afraid
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
Now that you know how much I understand
You have no reason to be gone
And if you feel at all like me
Just let me know, I'll make it like it used to be
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all (I know it all)
And we can still begin again
What's now is now (now is now)
You should've told me long ago
Someday I know you're gonna find
Just one mistake is not enough to change my mind
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
And if the doubting faces made you go
It's only mine that matters now
Those looks will soon begin to fade
If you come back and show them all you're not afraid
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
Now that you know how much I understand
You have no reason to be gone
And if you feel at all like me
Just let me know, I'll make it like it used to be
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then

And we can still begin again
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all (I know it all)
And we can still begin again
What's now is now (now is now)
Mustache Man (Wasted) Lyrics - Cake
Launching loony thoughts into the bending of your mind
You reach for something high but it's a mountain that you find
He's a king dust demon with an icepick smile
His music fills your feathers as you feel your passions fly
With the mustache man on the carpet of his van
You can feel your fatty tissues giving way to sweaty hands
And the woofers keep distorting and the tweeters kiss the girls
His horn-rimmed glasses lights a square beneath his curls
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
He is like a politician who is practicing a speech
He is racing, he is pacing, he is sleeping on his beat
As the sky begins to darken and the waves begin to roll
You can feel the oceans rising as you're losing all control
And meanwhile back at the Candlerock Lounge
It is past 11:30 and your friends are getting down
They're applying purple eyeshadow, drinking warm beer
They're wondering where you went to when you told them you'd be here
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
You reach for something high but it's a mountain that you find
He's a king dust demon with an icepick smile
His music fills your feathers as you feel your passions fly
With the mustache man on the carpet of his van
You can feel your fatty tissues giving way to sweaty hands
And the woofers keep distorting and the tweeters kiss the girls
His horn-rimmed glasses lights a square beneath his curls
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
He is like a politician who is practicing a speech
He is racing, he is pacing, he is sleeping on his beat
As the sky begins to darken and the waves begin to roll
You can feel the oceans rising as you're losing all control
And meanwhile back at the Candlerock Lounge
It is past 11:30 and your friends are getting down
They're applying purple eyeshadow, drinking warm beer
They're wondering where you went to when you told them you'd be here
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
Sick Of You Lyrics - Cake
I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I'm so sick of work
so sick of play
I don't need another day
I'm so sick of work
so sick of play
I don't need another day
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
Every shiny toy
That at first brings you joy
Will always start to cry and annoy
Every camera every phone
All the music that you own
Won't change the fact you're all alone (All alone!)
Every piece of land
every city that you plan
will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Every thing you find that at first gives you shine
always turns into the same old crime (Same old crime!)
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
(I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
(I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
Every little dance
Every hidden back romance
All alone (All alone!)
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I'm so sick of work
so sick of play
I don't need another day
I'm so sick of work
so sick of play
I don't need another day
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
Every shiny toy
That at first brings you joy
Will always start to cry and annoy
Every camera every phone
All the music that you own
Won't change the fact you're all alone (All alone!)
Every piece of land
every city that you plan
will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Every thing you find that at first gives you shine
always turns into the same old crime (Same old crime!)
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
(I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
(I'm so sick of you
so sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
Every little dance
Every hidden back romance
All alone (All alone!)
Easy To Crash Lyrics - Cake
Clouds hung hugely and oppressively
Over our busy little cars
Clouds hung hugely and oppressively
We didn't notice
We didn't care
We didn't notice
Driving along in our luxury cars
Down to our pretty city of stars
Down to our pretty city of stars (Stars in our eyes)
Money in pocket (Hugs on TV)
Plugs in the socket
You know it would be easy, so easy
It would be easy to
It would be easy, so easy
It would be easy to crash
Schoolteachers, bakers, bankers, congressmen
Stargazers didn't see a thing
Stockbrokers, singers, dancers, architects (Stars in our eyes)
We didn't notice
We didn't care (Hugs on TV)
We didn't notice
Plugs in the socket
You know it would be easy, so easy
It would be (It would be easy)
You know it would be easy, so easy
It would be easy to crash
It would be easy (So easy, it would be easy)
You know (It would be easy, so easy)
You know (It would be easy)
It would be easy, so easy
You know (It would be easy)
It would be easy, so easy
You know (It would be easy)
It would be easy, so easy
It would be easy to crash
Over our busy little cars
Clouds hung hugely and oppressively
We didn't notice
We didn't care
We didn't notice
Driving along in our luxury cars
Down to our pretty city of stars
Down to our pretty city of stars (Stars in our eyes)
Money in pocket (Hugs on TV)

Bound Away Lyrics - Cake
I'm an unknown individual in an unattended car
Hey, welcome to Chicago or wherever you are
New York to London, Barcelona to Berlin
Sacramento, California, we are leaving again
Away, away, away, away
Away, I'm bound away
I'm circling, I'm swiveling, I'm waiting just to land
I'm trying to come home, but I'm here with the band
Traveling, unraveling, I'm staying on track
My plastic utensil has broken in half
Away, away, away, away
Away, I'm bound away
There's low visibility, gusty wind and rain
My carry-on luggage is still on the plane
Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours
Hours give you a lifetime and a grave with pink flowers
Away, away, away, away
Away, I'm bound
Away, away, away, away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound
Away
Hey, welcome to Chicago or wherever you are

The Winter Lyrics - Cake
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods,
Christmas lights look desperate in this room.
Winter's light left me in the dark last night
And Jingle Bells are smothered in this gloom.
Winter's trees freezing in the bitter wind
And autumn's leaves have all been blown away.
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
And something in my mind just got away
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.

Italian Guy Lyrics - Cake
That Italian guy over there
The one with the polyester pinstriped suit
The one with the gray hair and mustache
Must be thinking really loud thoughts
Because he's nodding and squinting and nodding and squinting
And putting down his metal cane
Like he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
The one with the polyester pinstriped suit
The one with the gray hair and mustache
Must be thinking really loud thoughts
Because he's nodding and squinting and nodding and squinting
And putting down his metal cane
Like he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
Yeah, he's making a point, and it's very important indeed
War Pigs lyrics - Cake
(originally by Black Sabbath)
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
Generals gathered in their masses

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town lyrics - Cake
(originally by Kenny Rogers)
You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company
Its hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam
100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around
You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company
Its hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam
100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

Excuse Me, I Think I've Got A Heartache lyrics - cake
(originally by Buck Owens)
They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say.
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry.
[Instrumental]
I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth I'd have to say.
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry...
They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say.
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry.
[Instrumental]
I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth I'd have to say.
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I better say goodbye before I cry...
Conroy (DJ Greyboy Remix) lyrics - Cake
Do you remember now, the oblivion of youthful Minds,
Caught up in the fashions of their time...
Roll away,
I can see that clearly now, every time I look Into this
Mirror image of a silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wine, build this Country to the sky
What would they say?
God is here in this country by the sky
A mirror image of a silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wines, build this Country to the sky
Piecemeal of yesteryear,
A stained glass moment marking time,
With full intent on my 22 year old mind
Roll away,
I can see that clearly now,
Every time I look into this mirror image of a Silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wine, build this country to the sky
What would they say?
God is here in this country by the sky
Caught up in the fashions of their time...
Roll away,
I can see that clearly now, every time I look Into this
Mirror image of a silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wine, build this Country to the sky
What would they say?
God is here in this country by the sky
A mirror image of a silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wines, build this Country to the sky
Piecemeal of yesteryear,
A stained glass moment marking time,
With full intent on my 22 year old mind
Roll away,
I can see that clearly now,
Every time I look into this mirror image of a Silver sky,
Nests of pines and brandy wine, build this country to the sky
What would they say?
God is here in this country by the sky
Strangers In The Night lyrics - Cake
(originally by Frank Sinatra)
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Subtract One Love (Multiply The Heartaches) lyrics - Cake
(originally by George Jones)
Once I thought two happy hearts
Could someday beat as one
But then the third heart came along
And now our love is gone
I count the many times I've said
I love no one but you
But don't be fooled by
Counting dreams that never will come true
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartache
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Once I thought two happy hearts
Could someday beat as one
But then the third heart came along
And now our love is gone
I count the many times I've said
I love no one but you
But don't be fooled by
Counting dreams that never will come true
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartache
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer only tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches

Whatever, whatever, girl I'll do
Forever and ever yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'll see you through

Thrills lyrics - Cake
(originally by The Chakachas)
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.
And that's about the way it is in the marry-go-round
You get on...
You go around...
Standing in the saddle...
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all vanity.
He tries thrills.
He said I gave myself to enjoy pleasure.
What are teenagers doing today?
They're trying every thrill there is in the books.
We got color TV,
But it still isn't satisfying.
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....
And it's all vanity.
(Shouts-kind of non-understandable)
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....
And it's all Vanity.
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!
Hears the tune and it's different!
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.
Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.
And that's about the way it is in the marry-go-round

You go around...
Standing in the saddle...

Wheels lyrics - cake
In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes
With the freighters towering over me
I can hear the jets flying overhead
Making lines across the darkening sky
And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town
And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for one
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round
(okay)
So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you
Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free
And I could get away from you
And you could get away from me
And we could live each separately in our cities in the sun
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round
(okay)
(alright)
In a seedy karaoke bar
By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes'
And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians
While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round
(Alright)
(This one right)
(Spinning round)
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round
(Spinning round)
[Chorus repeats in the background]
(I don't know)
Why you say you are not in love with me
(I don't know)
Why you say you are not in love with me
(I don't know)
Why you say you [music stops] are not in love with me
With the freighters towering over me
I can hear the jets flying overhead
Making lines across the darkening sky
And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town
And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for one
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round
(okay)
So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you
Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free

No Phone lyrics - Cake
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
Ringing stinging
Jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me thoughout the day
See the feathers fly
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
Rhyming chiming got me working all the time
Gives me such a worried mind
Now I don't want to seem unkind
But god (it's such a crime)
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
Shaking quaking
Waking me when I'm asleep
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
I've been on fire
And yet I've still stayed frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No I don't have any change but here's a few subway tokens
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone
Ringing stinging
Jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me thoughout the day
See the feathers fly
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
Rhyming chiming got me working all the time
Gives me such a worried mind
Now I don't want to seem unkind
But god (it's such a crime)
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
Shaking quaking
Waking me when I'm asleep
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
I've been on fire
And yet I've still stayed frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No I don't have any change but here's a few subway tokens
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
No phone No phone
No phone no phone I just want to be alone today
No phone no phone
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today

Take It All Away lyrics - cake
You keep pushing me away
In spite of what you say
I found out yesterday
That I've been wasting all my time
Trying to make you smile
Trying to make this seem worth...
While you've been pushing me around
In spite of what I do
Trying to make things good for...
You take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
You've been racing through my mind
You're picking up in speed
You're driving recklessly
It's like a car crash happening on my street
Broken bodies at my feet
And sirens on the way
They're too late
'Cause nobody's going to save us
We're a rubbernecker's dream
We're burning gasoline
Go take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
And go
Go ahead and destroy this
Better come with an army
Are you feeling feeling okay baby?
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
In spite of what you say
I found out yesterday
That I've been wasting all my time
Trying to make you smile
Trying to make this seem worth...
While you've been pushing me around
In spite of what I do
Trying to make things good for...
You take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
You've been racing through my mind
You're picking up in speed
You're driving recklessly
It's like a car crash happening on my street
Broken bodies at my feet
And sirens on the way
They're too late
'Cause nobody's going to save us
We're a rubbernecker's dream
We're burning gasoline
Go take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
And go
Go ahead and destroy this
Better come with an army
Are you feeling feeling okay baby?
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
Dime lyrics - Cake
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
Carbon Monoxide lyrics - Cake
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Where's the air?
Where's the air?
Where's the air?
After car after bus after car after truck
After this my lungs will be so fucked up
I wish I was in that Mercedes Benz
Sealed away from my sins
I'd have the music high going 95
Too much too much too much too much
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
After car after bus after car after truck
After this my lungs will be so fucked up
I wish I wasn't just a pedestrian
Breathing all this in
I look up at that grey sky
It makes me want to... (ohhhh)
Too much too much too much
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear.
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Where's the air?
Where's the air?
Where's the air?
After car after bus after car after truck
After this my lungs will be so fucked up
I wish I was in that Mercedes Benz
Sealed away from my sins
I'd have the music high going 95
Too much too much too much too much
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
After car after bus after car after truck
After this my lungs will be so fucked up
I wish I wasn't just a pedestrian
Breathing all this in
I look up at that grey sky
It makes me want to... (ohhhh)
Too much too much too much
Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear.
The Guitar Man lyrics - cake
Who draws the crowd?
Who plays so loud?
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know baby it's the guitar man
He can make you love he can make you cry
He will bring you down
He will get you high
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles away
To find another place to play
And night after night who treats you right
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You know baby it's the guitar man
When he comes to town and you see his face
And you think you might like to take his place
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Searching for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em home
He can make you love he can get you high
He will bring you down he will make you cry
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place to play
(Fade away)
(Got to play)
(Fade away)
Who plays so loud?
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know baby it's the guitar man
He can make you love he can make you cry
He will bring you down
He will get you high
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles away
To find another place to play
And night after night who treats you right
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You know baby it's the guitar man
When he comes to town and you see his face
And you think you might like to take his place
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Searching for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em home
He can make you love he can get you high
He will bring you down he will make you cry
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place to play
(Fade away)
(Got to play)
(Fade away)
Waiting lyrics - Cake
So we think that we're important
And we think that we make sense
And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence
And you can soak your bread in gravy
You can soak your bread in soup
But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you
So you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
For someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
And you can soak your bread in water
You can soak your bread in wine
It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time
And you can do it to your conscience
You can do it all the time
You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine
But you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting for someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always waiting
I say always be waiting
And we think that we make sense
And we think there's something better on the other side of this fence
And you can soak your bread in gravy
You can soak your bread in soup
But the car that you are driving doesn't really belong to you
So you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
For someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always be waiting
And you can soak your bread in water
You can soak your bread in wine
It can seem like you are living like you're having a real good time
And you can do it to your conscience
You can do it all the time
You can do it with a vengeance in the morning after nine
But you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting for someone else to call
Yeah you know you'll always be waiting
Always be waiting
I say always waiting
I say always be waiting
She'll Hang The Baskets lyrics - cake
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
Don't you know I've seen it all before?
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
He'll go to buy her turtle wax but in his mind he won't be coming back
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
She'll hang the baskets on the wall
She'll hang the baskets on the wall
Don't you know I've seen it all before?
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
He'll go to buy her turtle wax but in his mind he won't be coming back
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
She'll hang the baskets on the wall
She'll hang the baskets on the wall
End Of The Movie lyrics - cake
People you love
Will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair
Your teeth
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
Will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair
Your teeth
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
Palm Of Your Hand lyrics - Cake
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
The bricks and mortar
Have all given way
At first they resisted but then they began to sway
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future's in the palm
In the palm of your hand
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
Where you stand now were tools in the basement
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future
Is in the palm
The palm of your hand
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
The bricks and mortar
Have all given way
At first they resisted but then they began to sway
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future's in the palm
In the palm of your hand
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
Where you stand now were tools in the basement
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future
Is in the palm
The palm of your hand
Tougher Than It Is lyrics - Cake
Well there is no such thing as you
It doesn't matter what you do
The more you try to qualify
The more it all will pass you by
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Well the more you try to shake the cat
The more the thing will bite and scratch
Its best I think to leave its fur and to listen to its silky purr
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Well there is no such thing as you
It doesn't matter what you do
The more you try to qualify
The more it all will pass you by
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
It doesn't matter what you do
The more you try to qualify
The more it all will pass you by
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Well the more you try to shake the cat
The more the thing will bite and scratch
Its best I think to leave its fur and to listen to its silky purr
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Well there is no such thing as you
It doesn't matter what you do
The more you try to qualify
The more it all will pass you by
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Some people like to make life a little tougher than it is
Opera Singer lyrics - Cake
I am an Opera Singer
I stand on painted Tape
It tells me where I'm going
And where to throw my cape
I call my co-star's brother
I call my co-star's name
I play both good and evil parts
I sing to Verdi's play
And every single morning
By 10 AM I'm dressed
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
With diligence I have been blessed
Some people they call me monster
Some people they call me saint
My talent feeds my darker side
Yet no one will complain
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
I've sung for kings in Europe
And emperors in Japan
And after each performance
People stand around and wait
Just to tell me that they love my voice
Just to tell me that I'm great
I am an opera singer
I will sing when you're all dead
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
I sing what can't be said
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
Most people seem to know my name
Or at least know who I am
I stand on painted Tape
It tells me where I'm going
And where to throw my cape
I call my co-star's brother
I call my co-star's name
I play both good and evil parts
I sing to Verdi's play
And every single morning
By 10 AM I'm dressed
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
With diligence I have been blessed
Some people they call me monster
Some people they call me saint
My talent feeds my darker side
Yet no one will complain
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
I've sung for kings in Europe
And emperors in Japan
And after each performance
People stand around and wait
Just to tell me that they love my voice
Just to tell me that I'm great
I am an opera singer
I will sing when you're all dead
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
I sing what can't be said
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
Most people seem to know my name
Or at least know who I am
Meanwhile, Rick James... lyrics - Cake
Disempowered
The scattering flock
Dances in a fever
At the Castle Rock
Dust devils cypress
Ripening fruit
Ascending quick
Into the authors bathroom
Fon, Jo and Tootsie
Are out on a wire
Less tooth junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
Uninvited
We'll stay if we want
Searching through your closets
For your grandfathers gun
We were swimming your kidney,
Kidney shaped pool
Scratching at the bottom
For another clue, yeah
Fon, Jo and Tootsie
Are out on a wire
Less tooth junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say to you
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
The scattering flock
Dances in a fever
At the Castle Rock
Dust devils cypress
Ripening fruit
Ascending quick
Into the authors bathroom

Are out on a wire
Less tooth junkies
All full of desire
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
Meanwhile Rick James takes her nude
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do

And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say to you
I've got a lot of work to do
I guess I'll leave it up to you
Shadow Stabbing lyrics - Cake
Adjectives on the typewriter
He moves his words like a prize fighter
The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell
The man on the street might just as well be
The man on the street might just as well
The man on the street might just as well be
Outside, outside the world
Out there you don't hear the echoes and calls
But the steel I,

I'm so tense
My heart can't forget about this self defense
The air is so hot
and my breath comes fast
I thumb the cool blade but I know this can't last
I thumb the cool blade but I know this can't last...

Short Skirt / Long Jacket lyrics - Cake
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket
I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
At Citibank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen
She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket
I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
At Citibank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen
She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

Commissioning A Symphony In C lyrics - Cake
So you'll be an Austrian Nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be Commissioning a symphony in C
With money you squeeze from the peasants
To your nephew you can give it as a present
This magnificent symphony in C
You'll be commissioning a symphony in C
Completely filling the palace concert hall
It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open
It has a melody both happy and sad
Built on Victoria's young triads
You've entered the room with great caution
Though no one in the hall is even watching
They are transfixed
They are forgetting just to breath
They are so taken by your symphony...
In C
You're sitting there thinking your thoughts
They are not about what is but what is not
You are sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death
So you'll be an Austrian Nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be commissioning...
A symphony...
In C
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be Commissioning a symphony in C
With money you squeeze from the peasants
To your nephew you can give it as a present
This magnificent symphony in C
You'll be commissioning a symphony in C
Completely filling the palace concert hall
It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open
It has a melody both happy and sad
Built on Victoria's young triads
You've entered the room with great caution
Though no one in the hall is even watching
They are transfixed
They are forgetting just to breath
They are so taken by your symphony...
In C
You're sitting there thinking your thoughts
They are not about what is but what is not
You are sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death
So you'll be an Austrian Nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be commissioning...
A symphony...

Comfort Eagle lyrics - Cake
We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors
And adding more lanes
We are building a religion
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers
for these pendant key chains
To resist it is useless
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is burning
But he never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle
He is living comfort eagle
You can meet at his location
But you better come with cash
Now his hat is on backwards
He can show you his tattoos
He is in the music business
He is calling you "DUDE!"
Now today is tomorrow
And tomorrow today
And yesterday is weaving in and out
And the fluffy white lines
That the airplane leaves behind
Are drifting right in front
of the waining of the moon
He is handling the money
He's serving the food
He knows about your party
He is calling you "DUDE!"
Now do you believe
In the one big sign
The doublewide shine
On the bootheels of your prime
Doesn't matter if you're skinny
Doesn't matter if you're fat
You can dress up like a sultan
In your onion head hat
We are building a religion
We are making a brand
We're the only ones to turn to
When your castles turn to sand
Take a bite of this apple
Mr. corporate events
Take a walk through the jungle
Of cardboard shanties and tents
Some people drink Pepsi
Some people drink Coke
The wacky morning DJ
Says democracy's a joke
He says now do you believe
In the one big song
He's now accepting callers
Who would like to sing along
She says, do you believe
In the one true edge
By fastening your safety belts
And stepping towards the ledge
He is handling the money
He is serving the food
He is now accepting callers
He is calling me "DUDE!"
Now do you believe
In the one big sign
The doublewide shine
On the bootheels of your prime
There's no need to ask directions
If you ever lose your mind
We're behind you
We're behind you
And let us please remind you
We can send a car to find you
If you ever lose your way
We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are building
A religion
A limited
Edition
We are now accepting callers...
For these beautiful...
Pendant key chains
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors
And adding more lanes
We are building a religion
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers
for these pendant key chains
To resist it is useless
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is burning
But he never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle

Long Line Of Cars lyrics - Cake
There's a long line of cars
And they're trying to get through
There's no single explanation
There's no central destination
But this long line of cars
Is trying to get through
And this long line of cars
Is all because of you
You don't wonder where we're going
Or remember where we've been
We've got to keep this traffic
Flowing and accept a little spin
So this long line of cars
will never have an end
And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend
From the streets of Sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.
We've got to keep this fire burning
and accept a little gray
So this long line of cars
Is trying to break free
(drawn out words)
And this long line of cars
Is all because of me
This long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
And they're trying to get through
There's no single explanation
There's no central destination
But this long line of cars
Is trying to get through
And this long line of cars
Is all because of you
You don't wonder where we're going
Or remember where we've been
We've got to keep this traffic
Flowing and accept a little spin
So this long line of cars
will never have an end
And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend
From the streets of Sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.
We've got to keep this fire burning
and accept a little gray
So this long line of cars
Is trying to break free
(drawn out words)
And this long line of cars
Is all because of me
This long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
Love You Madly lyrics - Cake
I don't want to wonder
If this is a blunder
I don't want to worry whether
We're gonna stay together
'Till we die
I don't want to jump in
Unless this music's thumping
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards
When the elephants arrive
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
I don't want to fake it
I just want to make it
The ornaments look pretty
But they're pulling down the branches
Of the Tree
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to talk about it
When I kiss your lips
I want to sink down to the bottom
Of the sea
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now, yeah
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
I don't want to hold back
I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I
Should have done
I don't want to doubt you
Know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you
Wishing I could run
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
If this is a blunder
I don't want to worry whether
We're gonna stay together
'Till we die
I don't want to jump in
Unless this music's thumping
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards
When the elephants arrive
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
I don't want to fake it
I just want to make it
The ornaments look pretty
But they're pulling down the branches
Of the Tree
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to talk about it
When I kiss your lips
I want to sink down to the bottom
Of the sea
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now, yeah
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
I don't want to hold back
I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I
Should have done
I don't want to doubt you
Know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you
Wishing I could run
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly, way
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly
Pretty Pink Ribbon lyrics - Cake
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you pleased
Without the sticky little kitten
You're ticket could never be free
Without your tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat through the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You would lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat through the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you pleased
Without the sticky little kitten
You're ticket could never be free
Without your tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat through the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You would lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat through the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
World Of Two lyrics - Cake
I don't want to
Hear you whisper
I don't want to orbit
Your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
I don't like to
Hang around you
I don't want to
Live in your world
Of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
It's not that I don't like you
But it's not that I don't love you
It's not that I don't think you are
Two of the most
Perfectly
Beautiful
People in your world
In your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
In your world of two
There's only room
There's only room
There's only room
For you
Hear you whisper
I don't want to orbit
Your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
I don't like to
Hang around you
I don't want to
Live in your world
Of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
It's not that I don't like you
But it's not that I don't love you
It's not that I don't think you are
Two of the most
Perfectly
Beautiful
People in your world
In your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
There's only room for you
In your world of two
In your world of two
There's only room
There's only room
There's only room
For you
Satan Is My Motor lyrics - Cake
I've got wheels,
Of polished steel,
I've got tires that drive,
The road,
I've got seats that selflessly,
Hold my friends,
And a trunk that can carry,
The heaviest of loads,
I've got a mind that can steer me,
To your house,
And a heart that can bring you,
Red flowers,
My intentions are good,
And earnest, and true,
But under my hood,
Is internal combustion power,
And Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is my motor, motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is the only one,
Who seems to understand,
I've got brakes,
I'm wide awake,
I can stop this car,
At anytime,
At the very last second,
I can change directions,
Turn completely around,
If I feel so inclined,
I've got a mind that can steer me,
To your house,
And a heart that can bring you,
Red flowers,
My intentions are good,
And earnest, and true,
But under my hood,
Is internal combustion power,
And Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is my motor, motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is the only one,
Who seems to understand,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is the only one,
Who seems to understand...
Of polished steel,
I've got tires that drive,
The road,
I've got seats that selflessly,
Hold my friends,
And a trunk that can carry,
The heaviest of loads,
I've got a mind that can steer me,
To your house,
And a heart that can bring you,
Red flowers,
My intentions are good,
And earnest, and true,
But under my hood,
Is internal combustion power,
And Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is my motor, motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is the only one,
Who seems to understand,
I've got brakes,
I'm wide awake,
I can stop this car,
At anytime,
At the very last second,
I can change directions,
Turn completely around,
If I feel so inclined,
I've got a mind that can steer me,
To your house,
And a heart that can bring you,
Red flowers,
My intentions are good,
And earnest, and true,
But under my hood,
Is internal combustion power,
And Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is my motor, motor,
Hear my motor power,
Satan is the only one,
Who seems to understand,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Satan is my motor,
Hear my motor power,

But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,
I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go,
I don't know much about,
Cinco DeMayo,
I'm never sure,
What it's all about,
But I said I want you,
And you don't believe me,
You said you want me,
But I've got my doubts,
Oh, Baby,I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go,
I had a match,
But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,
I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go
But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,
I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go,
I don't know much about,
Cinco DeMayo,
I'm never sure,
What it's all about,
But I said I want you,
And you don't believe me,
You said you want me,
But I've got my doubts,
Oh, Baby,I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go,
I had a match,
But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,
I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby, I was bound,
To let you go
Never There lyrics - Cake
I need your arms around me,
I need to feel your touch,
I need your understanding, I need your love,
So much,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby, (You're never there),
On the phone,
Long long distance,
Always through such,
Strong resistance,
When first you say,
You're too busy,
I wonder if you,
Even miss me,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby,
Take the time,
To get to know me,
If you want me,
Why can't you just show me,
We're always on,
This roller coaster,
If you want me,
Why can't you get closer,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there
I need to feel your touch,
I need your understanding, I need your love,
So much,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby, (You're never there),
On the phone,
Long long distance,
Always through such,
Strong resistance,
When first you say,
You're too busy,
I wonder if you,
Even miss me,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby,
Take the time,
To get to know me,
If you want me,
Why can't you just show me,
We're always on,
This roller coaster,
If you want me,
Why can't you get closer,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there
Guitar lyrics - cake
I'm sitting by the,
Window of your,
Thirty-second,
Floor apartment,
Waiting,
For your,
Phone calls,
All to End,
I'm sitting,
watching, wind blow,Watching time go,
Watching cars go by,
I'm,
Waiting for these,
Memories to,
Begin,
If I,
Threw my guitar,
Out the window,
So far down,
Would I,
Start to regret it,
Or would I smile,
And watch it slowly fall, fall, fall,
Garbage trucks,
And taxi cabs,
Don't seem like they can,
Reach me here,
The clammer,
Of jackhammers,
Seems so faint,
Well, the way you treat me,
Like the only,
Slightly brings me down,
Alot
I don't think that I'll,
Ever be the same,
Yeah, If I,
Threw my guitar,
Out the window,
So far down,
Would I,
Start to regret it,
Or would I smile,
And watch it slowly fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall...
Window of your,
Thirty-second,
Floor apartment,
Waiting,
For your,
Phone calls,
All to End,
I'm sitting,
watching, wind blow,Watching time go,
Watching cars go by,
I'm,
Waiting for these,
Memories to,
Begin,
If I,
Threw my guitar,
Out the window,
So far down,
Would I,
Start to regret it,
Or would I smile,
And watch it slowly fall, fall, fall,
Garbage trucks,
And taxi cabs,
Don't seem like they can,
Reach me here,
The clammer,
Of jackhammers,
Seems so faint,
Well, the way you treat me,
Like the only,
Slightly brings me down,
Alot
I don't think that I'll,
Ever be the same,
Yeah, If I,
Threw my guitar,
Out the window,
So far down,
Would I,
Start to regret it,
Or would I smile,
And watch it slowly fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall,
Fall, fall, fall...
You Turn The Screws lyrics - Cake
You turn the screws,
You tear down the bridge,
Flimsy as it is,
It's business like,
You shake my hand,
You break up the band,
Flimsy as it is,
It's open mike,
Punk rock,
Red white and blue,
You twist the knife,
Then go home to kiss your wife,
A bigger better slice,
Is what you like,
You kick the sand,
You get the upper hand,
You sell it to Japan,
It's natural,
Punk rock,
Red white and blue,
You turn the screws,
It's what you choose to do,
You think that I,
Must turn them too,
You think that I,
Must be so satisfied,
I stay inside,
I wonder why,
And the cement,
Makes or gets him, already,
One good time at a time,
They're pouring it slowly and steady,
You're showing me where I can sign,
What I can expect to find,
But how can you say,
You'll be happy,
When you turn the screws,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You think that I,
Must turn them too,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws...
You tear down the bridge,
Flimsy as it is,
It's business like,
You shake my hand,
You break up the band,
Flimsy as it is,
It's open mike,
Punk rock,
Red white and blue,
You twist the knife,
Then go home to kiss your wife,
A bigger better slice,
Is what you like,
You kick the sand,
You get the upper hand,
You sell it to Japan,
It's natural,
Punk rock,
Red white and blue,
You turn the screws,
It's what you choose to do,
You think that I,
Must turn them too,
You think that I,
Must be so satisfied,
I stay inside,
I wonder why,
And the cement,
Makes or gets him, already,
One good time at a time,
They're pouring it slowly and steady,
You're showing me where I can sign,
What I can expect to find,
But how can you say,
You'll be happy,
When you turn the screws,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You think that I,
Must turn them too,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws,
Is what you choose to do,
You turn the screws...
