Zero

Spending your pay on shiny things
See all the joy that it brings
'til the next day comes
And what's there left to show?
Zero
Ploughing the ground, plough me down
Dragging the sea, dragging me
'til we're both bone dry
The next thing that you know
Zero
Oil in the ground is getting low
Oil in the air always grow
But no one wants to know
Just how low will it go?
Zero

Keep On

Left alone in a city-scape and the sign on the road said you're too late
But I pushed ahead and I looked behind at the knots I'd made in my travelling twine
I wish I'd worn some dungarees 'cause I stood out hard in my hippie jeans
My furrowed brow was like a warning sign saying I might be mad but I'm just a little confused
I met a girl who was a stand-up Joe
This I know 'cause she told me so
She had a sassy mouth, she had mean old eyes, she had knee-high boots, she had stocking thighs
I learned from her with a steady gait that I would get to town and I would get there late
Her lips bestowed me with a mighty tune and it went like this!
Dazed and dreamy, kind of cold and steamy
With my hair above me and my feet beneath me
My legs had parted in a mighty stride, my calves were lean, my toes were wide
I poured ahead like a tidal wave with the road so long I could see it for days
My funk intact and my boogie strong, I keep on keeping on...

Repeat As Necessary
02:44

Buy a round, drink it down, set 'em up, drink up,
bend your elbow, find the penny, keep it steady
Keep 'em coming, set 'em up again
Buy another round, line 'em up, knock 'em down,
pour a pint, pour a pitcher, poor me
Portent of tomorrow, portent of the end
Oh, my head explodes with laughter
Worries drown and die
Never mind the morning after
It's a cure that I Repeat As Necessary

Stick Around
02:40

Fire underground, coming 'round
Every single town, coming down
And I don't know what to do to light a fire under you
So stick around
Every single time “No, it's mine!”
And I don't know what to say
It gets worse here every day
Just look around

When You Leave Here

Come inside, Miss Rose
Let me see you
Come inside, Miss Rose
Let me be with you
You know that no one knows the way I feel, dear
And the feeling stays
When you leave here
