Time: 3:13
Sandman
Where is the ritual
And tell me where where is the taste
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where where is the faith
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
Where is the cave
Where the wise woman went
And tell me where
Where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain (x2)
When they find a cure find a cure for pain
Candy told me nothing really matters anymore
And when I ask her what she means she says I ought to know
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say
I had no ready reply
But Candy says I'd like it where she is
She says it's an opportunity that I don't want to miss
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland

And It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache

Time: 3:28
Sandman
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
I know it drives you crazy
When I pretend you don't exist
When I'd like to lean in close
And run my hands against your lips
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Don't worry I'm not looking at you (x2)
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
I know you see me see you
As you see me walk on past
When there's nothing more I'd like to do
Then come in close and hear you laugh
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Yea whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Hmm whisper me your number
Got to the driver of my car
Past the dogs past the guards
And all of my alarms supposed to be so state of the art
You penetrate my radar (x2)
You drop a bomb in my backyard
You penetrate my radar
You played me like a chess game
And now you say checkmate
While you go running freely spending money every place
And me I have to hide and I don't dare show my face
If I am guilty so are you it was March 4th 1982
Riding around forever on an empty tank of gas
And an empty pocketbook I better get it to the bank
High up in a glider high up here without a care
I got all the time in the world
I got all the time in the world to spare
12) You Look Like Rain

I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain (x8)
You think like a whip on a horse's back
Stretched out to the limit you make it crack
Send that horse round and round the track
I want to know what you got to say (x3)
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain (x16)
Yea you look like rain
You look like rain
13) Jack And Tina
Time: 8:32
Sandman
Jack's dad...
Jack's dad was mad at Jack.
Jack's dad didn't understand.
This is real love between Tina and Jack.
Tina was fast, Tina was bright, Tina was using her head last.
Tina was fast, Tina was bright, Tina was using her head last.
She matched her insights with Jacks lines, and he matched her stripes.
Jack's dad didn't understand.
This is real love between Tina and Jack.
You can't fight a love like this so strong.
Anytime waiting is far to long.
It's like trying to stop the earth from spinning round.
It's like trying to stop the sun from going down.
Jack's dad didn't like Jack.
And Tina's dad. He didn't like Jack.
Jack's dad, Tina's dad.
Neither of them didn't understand.
This was real real love between Tina and Jack.
Jack and Tina went out of state.
Far away from this boring place.
Jack and Tina went over the gate.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Forever doesn't seem so long.
You can't fight a love like this so strong.
It's like trying to stop the earth from spinning round.
It's like trying to stop the sun from going down.
Tina was fast Tina was using her head last.
Tina was fast Tina was bright Tina was using her head last.
Tina was fast Tina was bright Tina was using her in.
She was bright. Bright as sunshine.
Jack was blinded. Blinded by the light.
He matched her insights. Lines, lines, lines.
He matched her stripes. Lines, lines, lines.
Jack and Tina went out of state.
Far away from this boring place.
Jack and Tina went over the gate.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Everybody needs a little getaway.
Jack and Tina circled back.
Jack and Tina circled back.
Stole some food from Tina's dad.
Borrowed Tina's brother's van.
Tina won a quick pick when they stopped for gas.
They got fifteen hundred dollars in their hands.
With luck like that they can't be so bad.
They took off all their clothes got back in Tina's brother's van.
14) Pretty Face
Time: 4:49
Sandman
Love's strange, bee sting, what a fool I've been.
Serpentine, lives unwind, trees sing, flowers cry.
A fronter town, copper brown, picking gold, raining down.
Ah, this time I do it now but I'll fast forward to a better spot now.
I can go back later I remember the place but it's not so easy to erase a pretty face.
Erase a pretty face. A pretty face.
Hand on mind all this time unraveling this ball of twine.
Butterfly back, climb thru paths, not too slow, not too fast.
Perfect place, pretty face, nice place for a rattlesnake.
Perfect place, out of faith, a good day to make a mistake.
Each time and I do it now - fast forward to a better spot.
Go back later I remember the place but it's not so easy to erase a pretty face.
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it
Nothing I could do to make things change
This is my shame (x2)
I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
Just one thing remains
This is my shame (x2)
I know your mad at me
I know you want to cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't (x2)
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I woke up and thought
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be ok
Then it hit me like a wave (x2)
This is my shame (x3)
Woh
16) Sexy Christmas Baby Mine
Time: 2:07
Sandman
Christmas cards upon the wall.
Mail seems to come so slow.
Tinsel starts to loose it glitter.
Maybe you don't have a phone.
Think about you every year about this time. About this time.
You know who you are, you are my sexy Christmas baby mine.
Merry for you. Not too merry for me.
I want you here with me. Misery loves company.
Think about you every year about this time. About this time.
You know who you are, you are my sexy Christmas baby mine.
