1) Honey White
Time: 3:06
Sandman
Honey white (x3)
Made a deal for some angel food
Honey white (x2)
Everybody told her it was sweet and good yea
Oh honey (x4)
She said you'll see me later yea you'll see me later
Will you see me later seemed all too soon
And then he smiles he knows honey's coming back
Honey's going to want some more angel food
Devil made of honey (x4)
She said you'll get me when I'm old and wizened
And not a day before that
The devil said honey it won't be that long
Besides I like to see a little more fat
Yea I like to see a little more fat
You know I like to see a little more fat
Honey white (x4)
Uh tell me how is your angel food
Honey white oh honey white
She says it's sweet and good
Honey white honey white uh honey white
The sweetness starts to fade
Honey white (x2)
Thought you could get away
Poor honey (x4)
I was once sitting on top of the world
I really had things in my hand
But something went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sitting here at home alone
People they want to give you free advice
Well that's something that I always try
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm paying and paying and paying
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
Everything I wanted cooking on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it you can have it now
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
It's just a fact (?)
Wiped that smile off my face
Put me down in my proper place
But the world just keeps on spinning around
And I'm still hanging around in this world
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
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
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
Yes (x14)
[ background "Yes" (x12) ]
If you can't decide what to do with your life
You just don't know what it is that's right
If you just don't know what to do
You just don't know what's right for you
If you can't decide where to go with your life
You just don't know where to spend your time
If you can't decide where to go with your life
I'm sure you'll do whatever is right
I've always known you were incredibility bright
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
And then swing your swift sword sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister sister sister
6) All Your Way
Time: 3:02
Sandman
Woh (x4)
Let's put it to bed let's put it down
I can't talk about it not right now
On my dying day I might be able to say
On a still sea full of manly rage
On my dying day I might be able to say
I might be able to say
You know I finally see things all your way
All your way
Woh (x4)
I was raised with the strong of heart
But if you touch me wrong I fall apart
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart
I run good but I'm hard to start
And the brakes are bad so I'm hard to stop
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart
Let's put it to bed let's put it down
I can't talk about it not right now
On my dying day I might be able to say
On a still sea full of manly rage
On my dying day I might be able to say
Where every word explodes in my face
I might be able to say
You know I finally see things all your way
I finally see things all your way

Time: 3:05
Sandman
I had my chance and I let it go (x2)
Well if I ever have myself another chance like that

It's going tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Ticking ticking ticking in my hand

9) The Jury
Time: 2:08
Sandman / Stwart
The defendant will be remanded to the bailiff and
Fresh mint in sparkling water and fresh lime so nice
Serve 2-4 years in the county correctional institution
New mowed lawn a hammock kids playing in a sprinkler
In Cañon City or until such time as the defence
Carefree beautiful woman entwined sand fruits sunshine
Can see no reason for leniency in this case considering
Candlelight red wine a caesar salad all in sparkling
An example to others who might be likewise tempted to
Friends woman's lips dogs canaries woman's hips
And as for you miss will you please rise and
Face the tranquility and all it's charm
And all in blessed privacy that blessed privacy
All in blessed privacy
Sharks patrol these waters (x2)
Don't let your fingers dangle in the water
And don't you worry about the day glow orange life per server
It won't save you (x2)
Swim for the shores just as fast as your able
Swim like a mother fucker swim
Fast as that seen ships to now
The ever glorious now the ever present now
Drenched in flower and deep-fat-fried
And cooled on paper towels and then devoured
You know I spent 15 years in a life raft
15 years in a life raft and now I got something to say
Stay in your life boats people (x2)
It's murder out there murder out there
Sharks patrol these waters
Sharks patrol these waters hey
Don't you worry about the dayglow orange life preserver
It won't save you (x2)
Swim for the shores just as fast as your able swim
11) Free Love
Time: 4:11
Sandman
Free love oh what is it
Free love oh I can't stand it it's a panic
Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble
But you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
You fooled me
Yea you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
With your psychiatrist who's now a scientologist
Oh I should have foreseen this
Business with your psychiatrist
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
So the next time someone offers you free love you know it
You better run run for shelter run for help
Run for the nearest downtown lounge in the afternoon
For for the cynical arms of a stranger
Run for the open arms of an unknown tomorrow
Because love love love is expensive hea
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
Don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
12) Gone For Good
Time: 2:55
Sandman
I'm never going back never going back to you
I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house
I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good
