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, oh
Let the (good times roll)
Let the stories be told
Let them say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want
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, oh
Won't you let the (good times roll)?
(Good times roll)
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll? Oh
Let the (good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll?
Well, let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Ooh, let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)
Well, let the good times roll (let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll, good times roll (good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let 'em roll

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
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
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
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
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

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
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

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