Hey there
I'm calling from the station
I matched a complication
On common ground
Hey there
The reason that I'm calling
I do believe we're falling
On common ground
Hey there
I still see you quiver
On the bottom of the river
On common ground
Hey there
A fault in my insurance
In need of some assistance
On common ground
Hey there
Six foot and arising
Now retread in hiding
On common ground
Hey there
After the latest visit
We were each other's witness
On common ground
On common ground
Hey there
Did you ever escape her?
That tender Venus in fur?
On common ground
Hey there
No further hesitations
This freak of human nature
On common ground
Hey there
She came on as a manic
Breath slightly vitriolic
On common ground
Hey there
Took the morning papers
You just left for breakfast
On common ground
Hey there
Left alone to beat it
The way that you would treat it
On common ground
On common ground

Still Put My Foot Down

You can trample on my broken heart
I still put my foot down
We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave
I still put my foot down
You managed to pin me to the floor
And lead them to my door
You tell me to answer no more
And lead me to my door
You wrote the book I then explored
And lead it to my door
You tell me I'm a saddening bore
And leave me at my door
You can trample on my broken heart
I still put my foot down
We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave
I still put my foot down
And put my foot down
And put my foot down
You may tenderise the meat you crave
And lead them to my door
You may show me things through Purple Haze
And leave me long for more
The rusty blade that made me sore
Was leading to my door
I never once lost this much control
I never showed you my door
Did I lead you to my door
Did I lead you to my door
Did I lead you to my door
Did I lead you to my door
Did I
You can trample on my broken heart
I still put my foot down
We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave
I still put my foot down
Put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I

Cheaper By The Dozen

You surely fill me up
Black hair and piercing eyes
You made my playground rock
Black hair and piercing eyes
You let your flag unfurl
Black hair and piercing eyes
I'm like some girly pearl
Black hair and piercing eyes
Always best in class
Black hair and piercing eyes
Stand up with the best
Black hair and piercing eyes
Show off in the pool
Black hair and piercing eyes
You made hotness cool
Black hair and piercing eyes
Chianti on the rocks
Black hair and piercing eyes
Business at the docs
Black hair and piercing eyes
Cigarettes to use
Black hair and piercing eyes
Aim to be amused
Black hair and piercing eyes
Armani and Vespa
Gucci and Belleza
Armani and Vespa

Italians come cheaper by the dozen
Italians come cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen
Cheaper by the dozen

The Last Hood In L.A.
04:57

I was just thinking
Here with the Dream King
Just relax and let me pull back your hood
Such a strange thing
Let the rain in
Here while I pull back your hood
Completely wasted
And nearly naked
Let's enjoy our goods
I was watching
You were enjoying
As you pulled back my hood
We're like islands
We're like islands
Tropical islands
The last hood in L.A.
Once you taste it
They say we waste it
Trade in "sin" for-good
We stay unmentioned
Tempered the tension
Like sin lies 'neath the hood
Completely wasted
And nearly naked
We enjoy our goods
I said I was just thinking
Me and the Rain King
Relax, let me pull back your hood
We're like islands
We're like islands
Tropical islands
