Give me a potion to make me love you
Give me a potion to make me care
Give me a potion to make me love you
Make it a double make it a double
Below the ocean I make my bed down there
Below the ocean I got to live somewhere
Maybe the graveyard and maybe I don't care
Why can't love be blind
Instead it's just a blind man crying
Why can't love be why can't love be blind
Thanks for the potion to make me love you
Thanks for the potion to make me care
Your charms are working on me
Your charms are working hard
Your charms are working on me
Your charms are working hard
Thanks for the potion to make me love you
Make it a double make it a double
3) I Know You (Part III)
Time: 3:31
Sandman
Give me a kiss hello goodbye
What's the difference you just end everything you say with a smile
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye
Forwards backwards back it down the drive
Curtains in the window wave goodbye (x2)
Hello there's that look in your eye
And your crazy smile ah
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going to do
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going through
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going through
I know you and you know me and I know you you know me and I know you
Give me an invitation I'll be there
Unless of course I got to be somewhere
Give me your wish list let's shake hands
If you don't like it you can have your money back
Ahh (x4)
Give me a kiss hello goodbye
What's the difference you just end everything you say with a smile
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye
And your crazy smile
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going through
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going to do
I know you and you know me too
You know everything that I'm going through
I know you and you know me and I know you you know me and I know you
I know you
4) Early To Bed
Time: 3:33
Sandman
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
One drink call it a early night
Soon you're curled up beneath the reading light
Or you bathe in the TV's blue tint
On your pillow an after-dinner mint
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
Early to bed so you can wait
For three buses a trolley and a train
I think it's worth it for you to stay awake
Maybe tomorrow you'll be a little late
But early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman miss out on the night life
You'll miss out on the night life (x2)
5) Wishing Well
Time: 3:31
Sandman
I move slow underwater crisp like a waterfall
I know my way around
Everybody knows me I grew up in this town

I can't remember how many million millions
And I'm exactly where I want to be right now
Ah yea Mm mm

I'm exactly where I want to be right now
All right Ok
I got a call back from the wishing well oh
I move smooth underwater crisp like a waterfall
Smooth underwater I know my way around
See I got one million two million
I can't remember how many million millions
And I'm exactly where I want to be right now
All right (x2)
I got a call back from the wishing well
Oh yea all right
I got a call back from the wishing well
6) Like Swimming
Time: 3:59
Sandman
First I learned to crawl and then some other strokes
I can never remember any real good jokes
Do you feel like swimming (x2)
Yes right now
I know a way to swim all the way downtown (x2)
It's a lot like swimming the first time over your head
It gets easier when you move your arms and legs
And for air you lift your head why don't we try it right now
Yes right now (x2)
Well I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown
Well I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown
We'll go by way of the garden
Fat with tomatoes and beans on the vine
Sweet like the way it was
Like swimming for the very first time
Do you feel like swimming (x2)
Well I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown (x3)
Do you feel like swimming (x2)

8) French Fries W/ Pepper
Time: 2:52
Sandman
On 06/06/66 I was little I didn't know shit
About 07/07/77 eleven years later still don't know any better
By 08/08/88 it's way to late for me to change and
By 09/09/99 I hope I'm sitting on the back porch drinking red wine singing
Oh french fries with pepper (x2)
On 06/06/66 I was little I didn't know shit

By 09/09/99 I hope I'm sitting on the back porch drinking red wine singing

9) Empty Box
Time: 3:53
Sandman
Tore open a package it was an empty box
No meaning to me just an empty box
Sender was a woman (x2)
She said she's sending me everything that I I I never gave her before
She said fill it up and send it back
Fill it up and send it back
So I send her back an empty box
A big mistake sent back an empty box
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
I crossed into a valley a valley so dark
That when I look back I can't see where I begin
I can't see my hands
I don't even know if my eyes are open
In the morning I was by the sea
And I swam out as far as I could swim
Until I was too tired to swim anymore
And then I floated and tried to get my strength back
And then an empty box came floating by
An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound

11) Hanging On A Curtain
Time: 3:48
Sandman
Hanging on a curtain
Swinging like a clock
(swinging like a clock)
Big hand on the seven
Little hand on top
(the little hand on top)
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(told me not to stop)
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(told me not to stop)
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth Woh
Don't bite please
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth Woh
Don't bite please
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes
Hanging on a curtain
Swinging like a clock
(swinging like a clock)
Big hand on the seven
Little hand on top
(little hand on top)
Said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(told me not to stop)
Said you like to hear me talk
Told me not to stop
(told me not to stop)
12) Swing It Low
Time: 3:07
Sandman
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line lined up in the sunshine
I'm on time fresh fast a sweetheart
I'll watch your back I'm all swing
Swinging from the shoestrings
Right or wrong to me it's the same thing
You especially you especially you especially
You have my loyalties
You in wartime love peace I need to walk you down the street
I'm right here I'll watch your back
In case the wind blows off your hat
You you're on time your eyes they're like a diamond mine
Deep and bright inside
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line lined up in the sunshine
Mmm (x3)
I got buttons burst in the air
Ideas run fingers through my hair
My shoes they're ready to move (x2)
Swing it low (x2)
Swing it low low low
Swing it low (x2)
Swing it low low low
Mmm (x2)
Swing it low
