Big Head Todd and the Monsters Album

He'll come flying out of this town
A resignation superman
And today the bad guys win
'Cause he turned his cape in
Now, he says

Yes, I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Oh well...

Yes, he's tired of fighting in this town
All the suffering and vice
He wants to fall in love and
Maybe settle in and live a life

Now I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world

Oh Lord, I need to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh Lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart

And he keeps an eye out on this town
The resignation superman
He'll keep himself amused
With the evening news
Oh...he said

Yet I'll turn my back on this world
Yes, I'll turn my eyes from this world
Now I broke my back on this world
Now I'll wash my hands of this world

Oh Lord, I need to believe in him now that I'm suffering
Oh Lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart

Caroline, I've seen the sun again
I've felt the summer wind
For the first time since your good-bye
And the thirst I've kept inside
Has swallowed me alive
You had to fall to take my hand
You had to leave to make me understand
Stay on for me my new star, keep on lightin' up,
push me on, Caroline

Caroline, I heard your name again
Said by a distant friend
To my surprise she hadn't heard
When your love flies, you hit the dirt
You know it's time to rise now
She had to fall to take my hand
She had to leave to make me understand
Stay on for me my new star, keep on lightin' up,
Push me on Caroline

Ah dear light I know you're with us all
And you laugh when we fall
And when we cry, find you everywhere
Everything, I see reminds me , every care
You turn it all to air
She had to fall to take my hand
She had to leave to make me understand
Stay on for me my new star, keep on lightin' up,
Push me on Caroline

Baby's gonna change her life
She's made up her mind
She's leaving her girls behind
And her lovers unkind
Crazy Mary look back and you're done
Just hold on and run
You're on your way home
Ain't nothin' gonna break you down Mary
I'm on your side
Nobody can touch you now Mary
Though trouble won't pass you by
Finding it hard to begin
To let the sun rise
To forget what was doing her in,
What was making her blind
Crazy Mary just keep to yourself,
Your old friends won't help
To make your escape
May you be well on your road
I know you'll get by
Life is the flower that grows
From the knots we untie
Crazy Mary look back and you're done
Just hold on and run,
You're on you way home

Since the first time I can't take my poor eyes off you
Though it seems I've lost my mind, you make my heart new
Any fool would run but
I can't help myself around you

You turn my head, and I leave the rest behind me
Who I am, what I had none can remind me
My defenses done and
I can't help myself around you

My intentions cannot keep this face from changing
And surrender all this cold heart has been saving
I can't help myself around you

I want to be your Saturday, your sunrise,
in an empty space
Keep you to your lazy ways, dream late
A love affair, an end too soon, swept away,
and left unused
I want to see, if you're amused
Or alive
Walkin' 'round the tower of love
Stuck on the ground
I can't climb up
Seems like every time I look up
Rain's comin' down
Storm clouds above

I want to sleep beside you now,
and leave behind the world without
Deep inside and there's none to count
or untie
I want to be the one you break, and take you
to the higher place
Just believe and I can make you fly

Walkin' 'round the tower of love
stuck on the ground
I can't climb up
Seems like every time I look up
Rain's comin' down
Storm clouds above

What is done can keep you down, and only love
can turn around
And yesterday won't make a sound as you climb

I always leave her waiting
I always leave her down
If she should come my way
I always turn around

Please don't tell her I love her
Please don't tell her I love her

I always keep her out
I never let her in
If she should come my way weeping
I greet her with a grin

Please don't tell her I love her
Please don't tell her I love her

If she should discover the colors of my love,
She will fly, fly away

Now you can try tenderness
You can try to hang around
Oh, but I'm sure she'll love you less,
I'm sure she'll bring you down

Please don't tell her I love her
Please don't tell her I love her

Seems you let a lot pass you by
When you let ambition decide
Everything has went up and gone
And all your money left you alone

Chorus:
We made a planet, a beautiful world
Let love surround it, and give it a whirl
I can't understand why it's so hard to keep
This beautiful world living and free ...

Time to let the watch unwind
Tell your heart to make up your mind
We can't wait to give at the end
Wasting all the time we can't spend

Chorus

Running after things you don't need
Is bound to trip you up with your greed
Stop your hand from lifting its load
Tell that traveler 'come on home'

Chorus

True Lady over the ocean blue
Found another I'm imagining
And as I sail into this distance
Keeping in my heart your face
Keeping in my heart your face

True Lady over the sea
Beauty as I have never known
Has it faded in the years
For someone else to behold
for someone else to behold?

True lady in your mansion high
With many lovers to wait on you
Has your memory of me died
Am I just blowing in the wind
Am I just blowing in the wind?

If only there were time and tenderness
Oh, for young hearts of wilderness
We run to the city we build our nest
We work, we get drunk, we make love

But your love won't take me from the grave to the heavens
Your love won't take me from the grave to the heavens
Before I'm gone your arms will be holding some other man
Before I'm gone your arms will be holding some other man

In this heart of wilderness
In this heart of wilderness
Run with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

This time I won't turn out the light
Oh, this time I won't turn out the light
Make believe everything's alright
and kiss my lover a cold good night

Morning turns to noon and noon to night
Oh, morning turns to noon and noon to night
My heart is still filled with fright
I'm still the same broken piece of clay

In this heart of wilderness
In this heart of wilderness
Come with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

I've been dreaming of something underneath the hill
Just around the bin and underneath the hill
A fortune in wood and steel
In restaurants and people without names

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm a broken man
Oh sweet Jesus, I'm a broken man
All I did was follow the plan
But what I wouldn't do to be loved

In this heart of wilderness
In this heart of wilderness
Come with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

Mine's a heart of wilderness
Don't go in there if you know what's best

You got your whole life for loving
She ain't the only girl around
You can't achieve by shovin'
What can't be shaken down
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

You take your heart full of trouble
For what might happen someday
You can't by weeping double
What you can't keep or can't make
I know you're tired of waiting for your true love
But don't let yourself just settle for a someone
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

If you stop to look you'll discover
What was there all the while
You'll find your sisters and brothers
Together gonna get it right
I want you to open up your eyes 'cause what you
Don't have is gonna make you a little wiser
I know you're tired of waiting for your true love
But don't let yourself just settle for a someone
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

Layin' down one night
What'd Papa tell Mama
What'd Papa tell Mama
?? boy boogie
Hey hey
Hey hey
You gotta come on

I felt so good
Wanna ?? the same
Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Offa your feet

Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang

I love the way you walk
And I love the way you talk
When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk

You knocked me out
Right off my feet
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
How how how how
How how how how

Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang

I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk
When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk

You knocked me out
Out off my feet
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Offa your feet
How how how how
Hey hey

These days without you let me down slow
And keep me after what I used to know
And keep me waiting for your smile
Sunlight in your eyes
And deeply hopin' you'll be coming home

These days have got me down upon my knees
Amazed at what I never thought I'd need
If I could have you I would try
Not to let slip by
For what once seemed so important to me

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

These days I'm counting on the sun to take
And find me dreaming that you'd gone away
And wait to hear you grumble along
Lord, I've been so wrong
And sorry for the things I didn't say

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

These days without you know they're gonna end
'Cause time can't come between two better friends
And what I can't see I will find
Will not lose its shine
And what is broken time is gonna mend

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you
