BREEDS CONTEMPT

I can see it baby - in your eyes
you think you got me hypnotized.
but I just bought a bus ticket home
and I'd like to spend some time alone.
yeah, I think my money was well-spent
'cause familiarity breeds contempt.

Someday soon you're gonna be surprised
when you look back and realize
you're unnecessarily mean and rude
and no one appreciates your attitude.
I don't know if it was your intent
but familiarity certainly breeds contempt

Yeah, familiarity breeds contempt
and my time with you has been mis-spent.
familiarity breeds contempt
and my love for you just got up and went.

Let's call it quits while we still have time
maybe you can find someone who's lost their mind.
Someone who will tolerate your mouth,
but baby, I'm just glad that I found out.
It's a sure thing that you can't prevent
familiarity only breeds contempt.


COPASETIC BABY

Don't wanna' feel the sun upon my face.
Don't wanna' be here in this race,
I don't wanna' be here all alone,
don't wanna' make this place my home.
It's copasetic baby,
but I don't wanna' cope with you no more.

Every day I get up and see,
just how good it can really be.
Every day I have a dream.
It's getting better or so it seems.
It's copasetic baby,
but I don't wanna' cope with you no more.

I was so glad when you went away,
I laughed out loud nearly every day.
But then you shattered the tranquility,
and brought back all of those memories.

See the sun upon my face,
see the sun in this happy place.
Hear the laughter in the air.
I'm tellin' you that I just don't care.
It's copasetic baby,
but I just can't cope with you no more.

I wanna' feel the sun upon my face,
but I don't wanna' be here in this race,
I don't wanna' be here all alone,
I don't wanna' make this place my home.
It's copasetic baby,
but I don't wanna' cope with you no more.

See the sun up in the sky,
see the clouds go drifting by.
Baby, baby, it's the place to be.
Baby, baby, it's the harmony.
It's copasetic baby,
but I don't wanna' cope with you no more.


TIME FOR ME

You're so busy runnin' 'round,
doin' deals all over town,
Baby, make some time for me.
Yeah, Baby, make some time for me.

Haven't seen you in a couple of days,
'cause you got dues and bills to pay.
Baby, make some time for me;
yeah, baby, make some time for me.

Night and day, so damn hectic,
run everywhere, you're so eclectic.
Baby, make some time for me
yeah, baby, save some time for me.

Every day, you're so busy.
The pace you set just makes me dizzy.
Baby, save some time for me,
yeah, baby, make some time for me.

Babeeeee, please don't,
say you will, if you won't,
clear your schedule, make some time for me.
Babeeeee, please don't,
say you will, if you won't;
turn off your cell and make some time for me.


CAUSTIC LOVE

So many words. so little time.
I'm about to lose my mind.
Your love is caustic. yeah, it's caustic baby,
because your red hot caustic love is full of lies.

Reality, in your dreams.
How insipid are your schemes?
Your love is caustic, yeah, it's caustic baby.
See how your red hot caustic love is burnin me.

Making love, making friends.
Your tactics make me cringe.
Your love is caustic. yeah, it's caustic baby.
I think your red hot caustic love has gotta end.


LONG TIME

I've been thinking 'bout times back then
when you and I were walking and holding hands,
and talking and dreaming about all the things we'd do.
but thinking has led me to thinking again
and thinking aint easy for a mind that bends
in different directions each time that I see you.

Long time, it's been a long time baby.
Long time, it's been a long long lonely time.
Long time, it's been a long time baby.
Long time, since I loved you.

You're so busy a running my life
and planning on how I'm gonna' be your wife
that I don't think you really ever thought this through.
'Cause thinking has led you to thinking again,
and thinking ain't easy for a mind that bends
in different directions each time you get a clue.


MEALS ON WHEELS

I don't have time for restaurants
or healthy home-cooked meals.
I don't have time to sit and wait,
So gimme' some meals on wheels.

I don't have time for slow, lazy waiters,
their apathy's unreal.
I don't have time for idle conversation,
so gimme' those meals on wheels.

Wendys, BurgerKing and McDonalds,
all the fast foods are ideal.
Kentucky Fried Chicken and Steak 'n Shake,
yeah, gimme' some meals on wheels.

I don't have time for silverware and menus;
yeah, that's the way I feel.
I like to dine while I'm driving
So gimme' those meals on wheels.
I don't have time for hor'deurves 'n salads
and all those extra deals.
I like to munch while I'm moving,
so gimme' those meals on wheels.


GHOST & DARKNESS

It happens every evening when the sun goes down.
They'll be close by but they won't make a sound.
You'll think you're still in the middle of a dream
when you hear that roar and terrible scream.

They might take a man, a woman, or a child.
Probably drag 'em for more than a mile.
'Til they settle down for a midnight feast
of bloody flesh and bones for the hungry beasts.

The ghost and the darkness are very very near.
It won't be long until you will know they're here.
The ghost and the darkness are very very near,
and the only question is "can you control your fear?"

We've lost about a hundred relatives and friends,
but there doesn't appear to be an end
to the incredible insatiable appetite
of the jungle demons in the middle of the night.

Now all that you can do is try to save yourself
and maybe offer up a prayer for everyone else.
If you're just visiting, you better go back home
before you too are just a sun-bleached pile of bones.


BAMBOOZLE

Smile a little smile for me
and I'll smile a smile for you.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine,
who knows what might ensue.
Try a smile on for size,
I'm sure it's really true,
that you'll feel better when you smile,
and I won't bamboozle you.

Bamboozle you, bamboozle you.
Smile a little smile for me
and I'll smile a smile for you.
Bamboozle you, bamboozle you.
You'll feel better when you're smiling,
and I won't bamboozle you.

Laugh a little laugh for me
and I'll laugh a laugh for you.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine,
who knows what might ensue.
Let's see the twinkle in your eyes,
it can't be misconstrued,
'Cause you'll feel better when you laugh,
and I won't bamboozle you.

Dance a little dance for me
and I'll dance a dance for you.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine,
who knows what might ensue.
Shake your booty, snap your fingers,
show what you can do.
'Cause you'll feel better when you're dancing,
and I won't bamboozle you.

I wanna see you laugh and dance,
and be as happy as you can be.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine,
but don't bamboozle me.
Don't bamboozle me, yeah don't bamboozle me.
I won't bamboozle you if you don't bamboozle me.
Don't bamboozle me and I won't bamboozle you.


NO PAIN, NO GAIN

Do you look forward to your work each morning
or are you just showing up and biding your time?
Do you still have dreams and aspirations
or are you fubar baby, just dragging the line?

Will she be there when you get home this evening,
or will she be out a running around?
Does she still love you, does she still need you,
or is her nightlife still gaining ground?

No pain, no gain.
Look over your shoulder buddy, I can't tell.
No pain, no gain.
Must be gaining something, 'cause it hurts like hell.

Did you make enough money to buy the groceries,
can you handle the car note and cover the rent?
Can you make the minimum payments on mastercard and visa, are you getting tired of wondering where the money went?

But Im looking forward to tomorrow.
It's gonnaâ be a brand new day.
I'm gonnaâ cut loose all this pain and sorrow,
then maybe things'll start a'going my way.
