The Cars - The Cars Lyrics






Good Times Roll

let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll

let the stories be cold
they can say what they want
let the photos be old
let them show what they want

if the illusion is real
let them give you a ride
if they got thunder appeal
let them be on your side

My Best Friends Girl

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
she'll make you flip
here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
you kinda like the way she dips
she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
and when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love

Just What I Needed

i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed

Im In Touch With Your World

you can tuck it on the inside
you can throw it on the floor
you can wave it on the outside
like you never did before
you get the diplomatic treatment
you get the force fed future
you get the funk after death
you get the wisenheimer brainstorm

i'm in touch with your world
so don't you try to hide it
i'm in touch with your world
and nobody's going to buy it
it's such a lovely way to go

i've been lying on your feathers
you keep talking about the weather
i'm a psilocybin pony
you're a flick fandango phoney
it's a sticky contradiction
it's a thing you call creation
everything is science fiction
and i ought to know

Dont Cha Stop

right here i'd like to melt inside of you
right here your kiss is totally new
right here your hands are soft and creamy
right here your mouth is wet and dreamy
and it's just what i like
so dim down the light
don't cha stop don't cha stop
don't cha stop don't cha stop
if it makes you feel good
your rhapsody is blowing my cool
your fantasies were written for fools
your long black hair it tickles my skin
feels so luscious come on do it again

Youre All Ive Got Tonight

i don't care if you hurt me some more
i don't care if you even the score
you can knock me and i don't care
you can mock me and i don't care
you can rock me just about anywhere
it's alright 'cus you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
i need you tonight
i don't care if you use me again
i don't care if you abuse me again
you can make me i don't care
you can bump me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright

Bye Bye Love

I can't feel this way much longer
Expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendoes
Just waiting to arrive

It's such a wavy midnight
And you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you're playin'

It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love

Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside your head
Involving all my energies
Until you visited

With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
They shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense

It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love
Bye goo' bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love

Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside your head
Well, foggin' all my energies
Until you visited

With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
They shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense

It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love

Moving In Stereo

life's the same i'm moving in stereo
life's the same except for my shoes
life's the same you're shaking like tremolo
life's the same it's all inside you

it's so easy to blow up your problems
it's so easy to play up your breakdown
it's so easy to fly through a window
it's so easy to fool with the sound

it's so tough to get up
it's so tough
it's so tough to live up
it's so tough on you

All Mixed Up

she shadows me in the mirror
and never leaves on the light
some things that i say to her
they just don't seem to bite
it's all mixed up (x3)

she tricks me into thinking
i can't believe my eyes
i wait for her forever
she never does arrive
it's all mixed up (x3)

she says to leave it to me
and everything will be alright
she says to leve it to me
and everything will be alright

she's always out making pictures
she's always out making scenes
she's always out the window
when it comes to making dreams
