My eyes are so rootless
They wander, I follow
I keep staring, I can’t stop it
I know I shouldn’t
But I can’t stop it

Such a cute girl
I’m so jealous
I wish I looked exactly like her
What’s it like to have that body?
I’m gawking while I wonder

S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring

With my envy I steal glances
Resentful fault finder
This peek-a-boo’s become a problem

I'm the dandy highwayman 
Who you're too scared to mention 
I spend my cash on looking flash 
And grabbing your attention 
The devil take your stereo and your record collection 
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension 

Stand and deliver your money or your life! 
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife! 

I'm the dandy highwayman 
So sick of easy fashion 
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots 
That people think so dashing 
So what's the point of robbery 
When nothing is worth taking? 
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff 
the big mistake he's making 

Stand and deliver your money or your life! 
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife! 
And even though you fool your souls 
Your conscience will be mine all mine 

We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses 
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses 
We're the dandy highwaymen, here's our invitation 
"Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation" 

Stand and deliver your money or your life! 
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife! 
And even though you fool your souls 
Your conscience will be mine, all mine 

Da diddley qa qa, da diddley qa qa 
Da diddley qa qa, da diddley qa qa 
Da diddley qa qa, da diddley qa qa 
Da diddley qa qa, da diddley qa qa 

Stand and deliver your money or your life! 
Stand and deliver your money or your life! 
Stand and deliver your money or your life!

I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit?

Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal

I thought that we had agreed
That we were in this together
But now that you have betrayed me
I got no other option

Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it

You can always smell a stinkin' tattletale
Come out of a shell I think so they can break the link
When everyone knows it squeals and that is just as well
A kiss of death goes out to those who rat and fink
Why's you squeal

But I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it - hey

Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why's you squeal
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it

You dirty rat

I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit?

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
You words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear

And now I'm stuck in the web
You're spinning
You've got me for your prey

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

You take advantage of what's mine
You're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please just let me be

Communication, telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape...

CHORUS

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calles
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone too deep

Never ever, ever gonna be the same 
Never gonna be the same 
It’s nothing new you’ve gone missing before 
People like you fade in and out 
Somehow we got lost in the travels 
Why did the world unravel us 
And how it was? 
Sometimes I feel like I just passed you by 
And left you standing in your pain 
But you were the one with the magic 
You were the one with the sparkle 
And you had it all 

I know it’s never gonna be the way it was 
How can it? 
Feelings change and people can get lost 
But I still think of you so much 
Do you remember how it was? 
Never ever, ever gonna be the same 
Never gonna be the same 

So what you doing while the day goes by? 
And what you thinking in your head? 
I just want you to be happy 
Please let me know if you are, the way you were 

I know it’s never gonna be the way it was 
How can it? 
Feelings change and people can get lost 
But I still think of you so much 
Do you remember how it was? 
I know its never gonna be the way it was 
How can it? 
Feelings change and people can get lost 
But I still think of you so much 
Do you remember how it was? 
Never gonna be the way it was 
How can it? 
Feelings change and people can get lost 
But I still care about you so much 
Do you remember how it was? 
I still care about you so much

Sometimes sunshine
Does not want to shine on me
And sometimes I find myself blind
At first I cannot see and then I see it's me

I chose a road when I was young
In search of fun temptation won
And all my soul I did surrender
If I had a chance to go back now
Would I redeem my moral vows
Or would I repeat for my own laughter

Sometimes I hide somewhat
Like a bulb behind a shade
And sometimes I ask myself why
Is it cause the lights are too bright
Or because my eyes are closed too tight

Sometimes I find myself blind
Don't use my brain don't use my mind
Distorted feelings always leading my way
But I must forgive myself

Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Toot toot toot toot play

Snakes in the basket
Lie to lead you astray
Snakes in the basket
Force to make you betray
Your innermost truths hid away

Falling down to the underground
As you slither down to your lair
Hidden in the many trenches of a hopeless war
Those who were sold out by a corporate board

Carry the casket
Never mind the gun spray
Bury the casket
Pawns in someone's gameplay
Shoot shoot shoot shoot obey

Subscription to the spreading of lies
Soldier catches a glimpse of his demise
Deep down inside even he knows
Snakes come in many shapes and sizes
Snakes have no hands to be tied

Concoction of malicious lies
Deep inside the general despises himself... Listen to the flute play

You've been a juvenile
WIth a dophin smile
With no elbow room 
With your body in bloom
You've had your little backyard
Protected by big walls
You didn't dare look over
'Cause you've been too small

Now you're finally sixteen 
And you feelin' old 
But they won't believe 
That you got a soul 
'Cause you're only sixteen 
And you're feeling real 
But you can't seem to cop a feel 

Why do they have to force us 
Through this metamorphose 
Little butterfly 
No matter how you try 
You'll be segregated 
You're gonna be closed off 
You're callow and you're green 
'Cause you're caught between 

You're only sixteen
Try to cross the line 
But your little wings are intertwined
You're only sixteen
And you're such a tease 
And there's nothing you do
That can really please 

"These children 
They're not really bad most of them 
They're just products 
Of rotten neighborhoods 
And bad family situations" 

You know you can't forsake it 
So sit back and take it

In the morning I wake up
And in the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground

Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground
I’ll be dead and gone, no longer around

Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter

You're on a wide open ocean
No one around you for miles
Your thinkin' of drinkin' on water
While you're sailing the Nile

No one to stop you on your way
Flyin' by goes the stork
You decide to bring your oars in now
But accidently knock out the cork

Row your boat to shore
'Cause it is leaking and you're still drinking
Unless you cork the hole
You won't be sailing, you'll be sinking

Not knowin' your sinkin'
You take out a bottle of rum
Swiggin' a drink to the bottom
The label reads 'Van Monchinghum'

Oars back into the water
You think you'll sail on
But you can't 'cause your boat contains
Three and a half gallons

(Repeat Chorus)

Row, row, row your boat
