Beatitude (1983) - LyricsJimmy Jimmy |
| hey jimmy |
| what's the matter with you tonight |
| nothing to do |
| can't think of anything to do |
| got to get out of here |
| go out and watch a fight |
| open up some heads |
| go for life |
| that's not dead |
| got to get some kixs instead |
| of just sitting around |
| thinking about what's wrong |
| with everything in your life |
| tonight |
| you can't see to well |
| what's going on |
| but there's something going on |
| that you don't know about |
| america |
| nobody's getting off |
| we're all in this together |
| nobody's getting off |
| if must be now or never |
| nobody's getting off |
| must this drag on forever |
| nobody's getting off |
| we're all in this together |
| hey jimmy |
| they're calling you back |
| they want you to come back |
| and take out the garbage |
| they want to talk to you |
| about something |
| they found in your drawer |
| under a hustler magazine |
| they want to cool you out |
| and ignore your problems |
| they want you to stay in line |
| what happened to my baby |
| where did he go wrong |
| why can't he be like other kids |
| just go along |
| what's the matter |
| with these kids today |
| hey jimmy |
| you don't look so good tonight |
| are you depressed |
| or something |
| you look spaced out |
| isn't there something |
| you could be doing |
| instead of watching tv |
| or listening to the fm |
| don't you want to think about nothing |
| don't you want to do something |
| are you pretending |
| nothing's wrong |
| america |
| it can happen here |
Something To Grab For |
| if you want to hang on my shoulder |
| i'm standing here |
| if you want to do it all over |
| let me get near |
| if you were another pretender |
| i'd pass you by |
| if you were a lost weekender |
| maybe i'd try |
| when you gonna give me something to grab for |
| when you gonna put it in my sight |
| when you gonna give me something to grab for |
| when you gonna show me what it's like |
| if you want to talk about it |
| i got the time |
| when you're looking so enchanted |
| you cover my mind |
| if you think i'll wait forever |
| maybe you're right |
| there's no such thing as now or never |
| there's only twilight |
| if you want to take it lightly |
| it won't make a sound |
| if you want to take me over |
| i won't turn you down |
Prove |
| you could show me all your photographs |
| you could have me hanging high |
| you could tell me about the mystery |
| hiding in your eyes |
| there's one to many reasons |
| why i should be with you |
| but i'll just be in season |
| just like you want me to |
| you don't have to prove a thing |
| pretty girl pretty girl |
| you could tell me secrets |
| that i would only keep |
| you can have your soup du jour |
| when you're fast asleep |
| when you turn me over |
| i won't waste your time |
| put on your precious makeup |
| you won't stand in line |
| i'm standing in your doorway |
| i know you never lock it |
| i won't try to walk away |
| with something in my pocket |
| everything you want to do |
| it easily gets done |
| even on a rainy day |
| you could pull the sun |
I Can't Wait |
| for your love |
| i can't wait |
| for your touch |
| i can't wait |
| for your slinky smile |
| i can't wait |
| for your angel heart |
| i can't wait |
| cause when you hold me |
| i melt away |
| and when you hold me |
| i want to stay |
| night to night |
| day to day |
| i just can't wait |
| for your love |
| for your whisper soft |
| i can't wait |
| for your bright nite eyes |
| i can't wait |
| for your silky sway |
| i can't wait |
| i'd be so glad if you came today |
| i can't wait |
Connect Up To Me |
| you talk close to me |
| i know your ways |
| i feel your dreams |
| you talk close to me |
| fairy domes and princesses |
| living in illusion |
| touch me free |
| i need your nite light |
| close to me |
| i need your nite life |
| fantasy |
| when the dance night flies |
| and the broadway screams |
| connect up with me |
| i feel your heartbeat |
| pounding soft |
| i'm taking off |
| you stick close to me |
| the right intrusion |
| is what we need |
| the touch is free |
| i'm watching your slick trick |
| still life moving |
| and ever so softly |
| letting it go |
| still by windows |
| some are still running |
| thinking they dreamt you |
| but never to know |
| connect up to me |
| i need your nite life |
A Quick One |
| how about a quick one |
| the endless night |
| has just begun |
| you know it's never like it seems |
| and when you wake up |
| it's going to feel just like a dream |
| so won't you hold on hold on |
| don't you leave me here tonight |
| everything will be all right |
| i know it's hard for you to take |
| all in the distance |
| you don't want to make the same mistake |
| so won't you hold on hold on |
| don't want to lose your dawn delight |
| don't want to ever say goodnight |
| there's going to be blue stars tonight |
| and when you wake up |
| there's going to be a different light |
| so won't you hold on hold on |
| don't you leave me here tonight |
| everything will be all right |
| i don't need a stranger touch |
| just for something new |
| i'm not looking for too much |
| but love is overdue |
| you think it's too good to be true |
| when you wake up |
| there's someone fallin' over you |
Out of Control |
| well someday you'll be sorry |
| that you flucked around and waited |
| for amsterdam and lillywhite |
| so heavenly sedated |
| it's faster than a speeding bullet |
| tonight someone's blasted |
| it's easier for you to tell |
| why no one ever lasted |
| keep it out of control |
| you don't have to think too much |
| we're all trying to help you out |
| show you how to save yourself |
| so you got no doubts |
| prima donna jesus moon |
| you'll be waiting now forever |
| some people call you speedo |
| they just think they're so clever |
| keep it out of control |
| in the thick black nite |
| blow tray can see you |
| fly the pawns curly sight |
| it's the easy way out |
| it's the double take hidden |
| it's the long gone beach lawn |
| infested with headlights |
| touched |
| instrument landing |
| keep it out of control |
Take a Walk |
| under the cold and darkly sky |
| you trip the light and go |
| through the love gates sweet and wild |
| how close you'll never know |
| talk a walk take a walk down |
| you got to split this crazy town |
| take a walk take a walk down |
| you got to turn this life around |
| i remember the night you ran |
| just a prisoner of the dark |
| you were waving that chinese fan |
| trying to hit the easy mark |
| take a walk take a walk down |
| take a look around |
| take a walk take a walk down |
| you got to turn this dream around |
| you were taking off by yourself |
| you were searching for a safety place |
| still hoping for a little help |
| showing off a little lace |
| take a walk take a walk down |
| take a look around |
| take a walk take a walk down |
| you go to turn this life around |
| take a look take a look around |
Sneak Attack |
| suffocation in the center |
| paradoxical on the edges |
| we're shooting the moon |
| watch out for rockets |
| cold cream windows nervous smiles |
| back to blankets for awhile |
| wasted children dance alone |
| living in the gone world |
| it's a silent flight |
| for a satellite |
| sneak attack |
| who's going to wake you up |
| when they come for you |
| pinch of life burns and flies |
| vigilante mode elite |
| locked into a red heat |
| it's a silent flight |
| for a satellite |
| sneak attack |
| we're shooting the moon |
| watch out for rockets |
Time Bomb |
| i live in a world |
| of manufactured joy |
| and factory parts |
| i live in a world |
| of dancing lips |
| and prima donnas |
| i live in a world |
| of dime store dummies |
| and slingshot rummies |
| i live in a world |
| of lonely hearts |
| and dispassionate pigs |
| i live in a world |
| of murderers |
| and priests |
| i live in a world |
| of pistols |
| and doomslayers |
| i live in a world |
| of computer games |
| and cops |
| i live in a world |
| of war |
| and wigwams |
| and i'm sitting on a time bomb |
| i live in a world |
| of businessmen |
| and breath soup |
| i live in a world |
| of confusion |
| and uncertainity |
| i live in a world |
| of glamour |
| and god fear |
| i live in a world |
| of tv news |
| and blow ups |
| i live in a world |
| of wasted envy |
| and beatitudes |
| i live in a world |
| of technology |
| and tinsel |
| i live in a world |
| of garbage strikes |
| and jackknives |
| i live in a world |
| of night screams |
| and rainbows |
