When it was open 24 hours And the sign burned all night long When the other stores shut their doors And slept safely til dawn We didn't have no sales No double coupon days And my heart is like that My Tee Mart In oh so many ways We have ample parking Five spaces out in front A see-through in-and-out door Used entirely too much And for your convenience You can pay at the pump You don't have to come inside If you don't want And now maybe I've worked the late shift For just a little bit too long But the parallels are eerie And the petrol fumes are strong The Twinkie in my soul Yeah, the Ho-Ho in my veins Though her blood is like a Slushee She's got this Camel by the reigns Cause I have ample parking Five spaces out in front An in-and-out door Used entirely too much And for your convenience You can pay at the pump You don't have to come inside If you don't want And some nights there is a hold-up And some nights the drawer's too much And some nights I win the lotto And some nights I have no luck But I keep clocking in and out Working the nights between the days Because I know one day that Lance girl Is gonna turn her head my way Cause I have ample parking Five spaces out in front A see-through in-and-out door Used entirely too much And for your convenience You can pay at the pump You don't have to come inside If you don't want Yeah, we have ample parking Five spaces out in front A see-through in-and-out door Used entirely too much And for your convenience You can pay at the pump You don't have to come inside If you don't want You don't have to come inside If you don't want You don't have to come inside If you don't want You don't have to come inside

Baron von Barren is a man is a man He would applaud but someone's sitting on his hands He solved all his problems with a magnetic band Baron von Barren Baron von Barren is a ghost is a ghost He's got soggy eyes awaiting him from coast to coast Every insult that he hears is like a toast Baron von Barren Baron von Barren is a duke, is an earl He regales his court with his travails around the world Of slain soldiers and the girls whose toes he's curled Baron von Barren Who is he Who is the Baron von Barren is an empty, frantic boy A reserve of guilt and arrogance in his employ Afraid his faith in sex may one day be destroyed Baron von Barren Baron von Barren has a torch, he's a nut Doesn't make a move for fear of futuristic rut Closes doors himself just so he knows which ones are shut Baron von Barren Baron von Barren is as healthy as an ox Thinks he's going crazy but he's crazy like a fox Thinks his life should fit into a tiny, tiny box Baron von Barren Who is he Who is the Baron von Barren Who is he Who is he yeah Who is he Who is he yeah Who is he Who is the Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is you It is me Baron von Barren It is me It is me Baron von Barren

She had an idea And I think that it was a good idea When I read her stare And read her hand I knew that I should stay I think she had tears Clouding her eyes and a too-big shirt on I have always found Her index toe ring to be a turn on Her name is too long I spell it with a 'J' In the radiating light She had an idea And I think that it was a good idea Walked me to the stairs And we'll pick up before when we left off Her name is too long I spell it with a 'J' In the radiating light And this time will be okay No missing communique It's not so far Is it She had an idea And I think that it was a fine idea When I read her stare And read her hand I knew that I should stay

When I'm driving 
And I've got no place to go 
Baron von Barren 
Is off to the fresh side whoa ho
 There is a birdy
 Flying along with me
 He is so happy

 If I'm crying 
I've got one place to go
 When I'm dying 
I'm off to the fresh side whoa ho 
Where it is sunny 
Nobody means no harm
 No one is running 

Escape to the fresh side
 

Escape to the fresh side
 

When I'm driving
 And the air is so bright 
I keep on driving
 Into the cold night
 The lights of the city
 Don't mean much to me
 They're just so pretty

 

Escape to the fresh side 


Escape to the fresh side
 

Escape to the fresh side
 

Escape to the fresh side


Crack of thunder bolt of lightning
 Is what I spy with my little eye 
I think I want to jump into it
 Can't stay forever on the Fresh Side
 And now spring time's at my disposal
 And I'm thinking of a girl 
I got in touch with my cruel side
 Now I'm living in a bigger world

 She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye 
She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye

 A little kiss under a big tree 
A bigger kiss just down the hall
 The way my life comes back in my dreams
 You'd think I'd never wake at all
 In my mind she will be the Queen 
I have predestined my girlfriend
 And it's okay when we start drifting 
If I can say in the end

 She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye 
She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye

 

I think sometimes I May have met her
 I bet she thinks that she met me 
I think sometimes I May have kissed her 
I bet she thinks that kissed me 
I bet

 She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye 
She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye
 I knew a girl who made me say that 
But we had to say goodbye
 She put the feathers back in birdland
 She put the apple in my eye

There's not a lot to say I'm just dying to get away Look to Pope's cube to find a clue And I'm not looking back at you Cos there's no gentle thing today Kick out my scheme and lock the door There'll be no payback while I'm poor I keep the lights out when I change No part of me that isn't strange Think this is what I had in store I can see past twenty-four Starved myself to fit a grave I'm the O.T.h.h.

Whore Quantity of light to equal my plight Quantity of light to equal my plight This is a ballad for my crueller side This is an opera for my lesser side The one that drives me and I cannot deny That there's a pain in my left side It keeps me high It keeps me so high If I can't bleed then I can't die And what's the fun if I can't die This is a ballad to my crueller side Miles fading, fading miles fade It needs a jumpstart every time I wanna keep it I wanna blow it away I forget through distance and night Her amount of light equals my plight Quantity of light to equal my plight Quantity of light to equal my plight

I'm sitting in the radiating light With a darkness behind me And a darkness ahead On the other side Of this line I know it's better than sex All my shadows are thrown on the wall I've got fuzzy knees They're more like double knees And I'm thinking of Winning the trick Yeah now how boss would that be I think you've got something to say I wish it could be Just like those Saturdays Cause there was no way To get out of line I'm sitting in the radiating light I'm waiting in the radiating light On a cool summer made-for-sating night And I feel ridiculous I'm sitting in the radiating light My car is full of gas And the keys are on the couch Though I know that I've got Nothing but time I've got a radiating doubt So it radiates and keeps me earthbound In the mechanical breeze In this tyrannical seat I look for your ghost In the radiating light For that radiating sight I'm sitting in the radiating light My heart is so slow It must be full of lead Once I sang about My lesser side But it's my weaker side instead Now we're sitting in two radiating lights At odd ends of one line That I am trying to shed Then just one radiating light With a darkness behind us And a darkness ahead
