Eggs and sausage and a side of toast coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy chile in a bowl with burgers and fries what kind of pie?
In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade 2 for a quarter, dime for a dance with Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings, and a sideway's glance and now the register rings and now the waitress sings

This Masquerade
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play Looking for words to say Searching but not finding understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason why we carry on this way We're lost in a masquerade
We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade

I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you baby That must be what you are
Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah
I've learned to feel what I cannot see But with you I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free
Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much baby And love you from this far

In Your Eyes
Accepting all I’ve done and said I want to stand and stare again Til there’s nothing left out, oh It remains there in your eyes Whatever comes and goes I will hear your silent call I will touch this tender wall Til I know I’m home again Ooh
In your eyes (in your eyes) In your eyes (in your eyes) In your eyes (in your eyes) In your eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are
And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside
In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes
Love, I don’t like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside
In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes
Accepting all I’ve done and said I want to stand and stare again Til there’s nothing left out, oh It remains there in your eyes Whatever comes and goes Oh it’s in your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes
I want to stand and stare again Oh, it’s in your eyes.

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train Feeling nearly faded as my jeans Bobby flagged a diesel down just before it rained Took us all the way to New Orleans Well I took my harp on out of my dirty red bandana Blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slapping time Holding Bobby's hand in mine We finallly sang near every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Freedom ain't worth nothing but it's free Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done Bobby's body kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord I let her slip her away Looking for that home I hope she'll find And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday To be holding Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Freedom ain't worth nothing but it's free Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Me And Bobby McGee by Kristofferson & Foster, as sung by The Grateful Dead

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ? Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me. I wait for delivery each day until three, So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down. Prove that you love me and buy the next round, Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
Everybody! Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends, Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
That’s it!

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar.

I'm just a man, Dan's got a future, with a fast picking hand, but my brother, my brother, like my mother, they're living back, in the dead head fad, well don't be sad, they may be upgly, but they're not that bad, their only faulter is that they hate water, and water is something you gotta have, hippies hate water,
one day I found, myself driving, myself around, and then I saw 'em, like a herd sheep callin', "Gimme a ride to the Dead show man", well don't be sad, they may be smelly, but they're not that bad, their only faulter is that they hate water, and water is something you gotta have, hippies hate water.

*It's a thin line between love and hate It's a thin line between love and hate
It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in A knock upon the door A voice sweet and low says (who is it?) She opens up the door And she lets you in And never once does she say "where have you been?"
She says,"Hold it, Are you hungry,did you eat yet, Let me hang up your coat now" And all the time she's smiling Never raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning And you dn't give it a second thought
(*Repeat)
The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her be that way She might be holding something in That's really gonna hurt you One of these fine days
There you are in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock That much from bein' dead You didn't think your woman Could do something like that to you You didn't think she'd got the nerve Accidents speak louder than words Louder than words Louder than words Louder than words,come on
Come on,baby,baby If you won't give a damn about me Come on baby,bay You don't really care about me
Hear what I say Hear what I say
Annie Lennox
