* I’m not a poet, nor a prophet, though I dream from time to time I’m an artist of illusion, and I sketch a strange design So don’t pay me with respect, just pay me with attention And when I bounce a check, don’t forget that I had mentioned that I’m mad at someone, I’m mad at someone.

** Indie Rockin' lyrics
* Movie stars and waitresses, and fantasies and facts
Friends in far off places that still Talk behind my back Not even tellin it to themselves The dreams of common people Yeah they're easily disturbed Well they're worthless and they're feeble Still getting their last word.
** No one like you lyrics
* Why don't I ever see any old punks? I guess they change their minds or die Beaten by the greetings of "Enchanté" By the girls who read Oscar Wilde Now I was always one of the serious sort But I let the comics show me around I know I didn't laugh much but boy did he try And all the time I'd be frightened by the sound.
** Offstage Lines lyrics
* When I was younger I used to get angry at the girls Then I grew a little older and got angry at the world For a while I spent my time getting all pissed off at traffic lights But even that got boring you know it seemed so trite These days I’m reserved to fulfill a quota From a list I received from a man from Minnesota ....I got it off the internet, it read....
** Oklahoma lyrics

Oh, any season, every reason To belong And I will stay for long enough Till I have my Song Till I have my song.

** The Crowd and I lyrics
* Don’t want to die alone A repeat offence, a vagabond I will serve my time and then I’ll come for you I will make you mine in time I always do.
