1. FRIEND TILL THE END

Hello there, my name is Tony
and I speak to you
Like the social disease
Say what you want, I won't go
Oh no, no, no.

Saw you in town
And I screamed to you
From the other side
Of the freakin' street
I didn't think
That I embarrass you
Or your girlfriend!

Why, why do you follow me?
I rip the phone off the wall,
you can't call me.

Hey guess what?
You have no idea.

I went over there
and show up to me
I am so happy, this is my care, oh no no

You come on by
You watch my TV
And you tell me
What you want to TV see
I wanna sleep
You won't leave
Oh, hey tell me why ?

Why do you follow me ?
I rip the phone off the wall,
you can't call me

I've been waiting for this Saturday night
My girlfriend and I
Rent a movie, good food and wine
She asks can I spend the night?

Without a warning, someone crashes on by
Here's comes Tony with his beer supply
Ask him to leave, he asks why
I wanna be alone with my girlfriend

Why, why do you follow me ?
I rip the phone off the wall
You can't call me, YEAH!

Now, I see you there
Once I talk to you, speak from within me
Like bacteria
There ain't enough
When this will end
On the whole wide world

Why, why do you follow me
I rip the phone off the wall,
you can't call me
Oh hey tell me why
Why do you follow me ?
I rip the phone off the wall,
you can't call me


2. BLACKOUT

Running with my bed alone
I don't wanna live my life
Already have my TV on
now tell me will I see you with me

Video on TV show
Sitting on a beach alone
Suddenly the lights go out
and there is something wrong with me

Just in the middle of a TV show
Power went out but it tells me no
I have no money but you can't blame me
Pay your bills or you won't see her

Running with my bed alone
I don't wanna live my life
Till you stare at TV screen it's black
And I won't see her

Video on TV show
Sitting on a beach alone
Now with the lights gone out
and there is something wrong with me

Just in the middle of a TV show
Power went out but it tells me no
I have no money but you can't blame me
Pay your bills or you won't see her

I want her
I need her
But now I am without her
And I have never felt so alone

I beg you
I plead you
Show her and I will pay you
I am TV slave

Folks I am a TV slave
And blackout's all take it away
I'm a TV slave
And I will pay
Cause sitting here will keep me seeing you

Just in the middle of a TV show
Power went out but it tells me no
I have money but you can't blame me
Pay your bills or you won't see her

Running with my bed alone
I don't wanna live my life
Already have my TV on
now tell me will I ever see a movie

Video on TV show
Sitting on a beach alone
Suddenly the lights go out
and there is something wrong with me

Just in the middle of a TV show
Power went out but it tells me no
I have no money but you can't blame me
Pay your bills or you won't see her

Just in the middle of a TV show
Power went out but it tells me no
I have no money but you can't blame me
Pay your bills or you won't see her now


3. FIND A GUN

Back then it was only fun, something we'd always done
Smash it up, and then you run, then we have so fun
But something came up one day, some bills you couldn't pay
And you got carried away, oh so far away

They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah"
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
I wanna awk you, where did you find the gun?

I ask everybody have they seen ya
They telling you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

Holy Man's only son, your mother on ironlung
No money from anyone, but now you've got the gun
Stick up on 2nd Street, I heard you running feet
Lay down, get a seat and beg them for mercy

They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah"
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
I wanna ask you, where did you find the gun?

I ask everybody have they seen ya
They telling you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

By an accident you find yourself
From the slammer with too much friends, others friends
You shot an officer, you shot him down
Now your young life is gone
You're older than you are, you're gone
Because you had the gun

I ask everybody have they seen ya
They telling you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

Try to make you pay & they will find ya
You try to hide away but they have seen ya
Rest while you can, believe me now
You gotta run for your life
Where did you find the gun?
Find the gun?
Where did you find the gun?
Find the gun?


4. LETTER TO DANA

Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you.
Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day
And I don't want to bother You anymore,
I used to hope you'd come back
But not anymore Dana.

My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
Your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
And I think my heart just cannot handle that
Dana, my darling, would be so bad.

Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway

Dana my darling I'm writing to you
Your mother passed away it was a really rainy day
And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers grave, Dana

Your father disowned you because you have sinned
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
And I hope you won't do those things anymore
Dana My darling I'm waiting for

Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway

No, you can't surprise me anymore
I have seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Anyhow, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana

Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway

I said, you can't surprise me anymore
You have done it all before
But people seek in more and more
Anyhow, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana

They said you do I've made to be cruel
But you're turning me up inside
I'm writting you day now
I'm going away now
Leaving the soul behind

Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
to travel away, faraway
