How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Robbie]

This time I have to leave
It's all too clear, it's plain to see
No use in hangin' 'round
Like a dog that cries and growls
This time I have to leave

Did you hear that I'm attached?
I'm on a dead end path
Can't you see it hurts me so?
But I really got to go

This time I have to leaveI'm gonna disappear
Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears
You gave your all, we weren't shy
So thanks again, it's been nice
This time I have to leave

[Nearly Sane]

I don't know what's worse
That you walked in my room
Smelling like her perfume
Or that I called you first
Thought that I was immune
Wouldn't let you get any closer
I shouldn't get used to you
Losing my composure
You love me being lost in you

You lie on my sheets, then lie to my face
I lie through my teeth and say I'm okay
Won't settle for a second place
You could say you warned me
But this time I mean it
I'm so sick of these dead end feelings

[Udayana]

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot...
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

[Aruntraveller]

The kids that fought the war are livin' outa state
And the CIA is runnin' things of late
When we elect a man, we put him on the spot
'cause if he don't play ball, he might get shot
The national security keeps it from the voters
'cause what's good for America isn't good for General Motors

We went and found ourselves some mighty strange lovers
The kind that like to blow from underneath the covers

Well millions can avoid with Dr Sigmund Freud
Those realities of life that tend to make me paranoid
Lookin' for the answer just gives me indigestion
I spent so much time, just dealin' with the question
We'd rather talk of dollars and forget about events
When what we have to decide is; Does it all make sense?

Well everybody's happy, I saw it on the news
But me, I' got a case of color TV blues

You know, just 'cause you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not trying t' get ya'

[Nearly Sane]

Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero's welcome
For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion
And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning
In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation
Yankee, to war
Yankee, head high
Yankee, in call
Yankee, we cry
Working for the Yankee dollar
Working for the Yankee dollar

[Udayana]

...
From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear Der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact
...

(a bit too obvious!)

[Robbie]

I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lot of stops
All over the world
And in every part I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty Señorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo

Oh, my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you, oh so tight

Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you, oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Whoa, I'm a travelin' man

[Nearly Sane]

I could escape this feeling with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning, where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down

I feel tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

[Robbie]

This a number one champion sound (yeah)
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down (get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now? (Uh)
Just touched down in London town (uh)
Bet they give me a pound (uh)

Tell them put the money in my hand right now (yeah)
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy

He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but I'ma like what's underneath it
And no I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali' never rains and New York heart awaits
First let's see the West End
I'll show you to my brethren
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy

Will you be my American boy? American boy

[Aruntraveller]

When he moves
I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter
Flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips

When he drives
I love to watch his hands
White and smooth
Almost feminine
Almost American
I have to watch him

In his face
Age descends on youth
Exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then
But soon his eyes forgot
And everything he seems to do
Reflects just another
Shade of blue
I saw her searching into you
And ached a while

[Nearly Sane]

Turn around, stand up like a man and look me in the eye
Turn around, take one final look at what you've left behind
Then walk away from the greatest lover you have ever known
Yes, walk away, you're telling me that you can make it on your own
By yourself, all alone, without my help
Mister, you just made a big mistake

You think you're a man but you're only a boy
You think you're a man; you are only a toy
You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

[Aruntraveller]

Humidity is rising (Mm rising), barometer's getting low (How low, girl?)
According to all sources (What sources now?)
The street's the place to go (You better hurry up)
'Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Every specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

[Nearly Sane]

Folks I'm looking for a worker - not you
I want an extra special kind
When I get the type of man I want
I know I'm gonna have a little time
Got to be ambitious, a man that loves to work
I don't want no man that's lazy, no man that tries to shirk
I want a two-fisted, double-jointed, rough and ready man
I want a hard working, no shirking, good and steady man

Now he can be a backwards farmer or a digger in a ditch
He can even drive a garbage wagon
Honey it don't make no difference which
Long as he's a two-fisted (oh please), double-jointed, rough and ready man
I want a hard working, no shirking, good and steady man

[Robbie]

I want a clean shaven man
I want a clean shaven man
If he's short or tall, doesn't matter at all
He doesn't have to be too sharp to be my razor man

I want a clean shaven man
I want a clean shaven man
Oh, how I'd behave when he takes a shave
I want a clean shaven man

[Nearly Sane]

Take out all your trimming scissors
Every little skincare products
Do something about your body
Cause you be lookin like a hobbit


Shave what you need to shave
Shave what you need to shave

[Robbie]

Switch it up, switch it up (ooh-wah)
Yeah, eh-eh-eh
Yeah, let's go
I call my girl 'cause I got a problem
Only a curl is gonna solve it

Man, I don't really care
Just get him out my hair, yeah
Let's switch it up, get it off my shoulder
I've had enough, can't take no longer
I'm over him, I swear

I'm like, yeah

Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair

[Nearly Sane]

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You know I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again, for I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life

[Robbie]

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

You better make your face up in
Your favorite disguise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
When the conch shell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You'd better run

[Nearly Sane]

Long ago,
High on a mountain in Mexico
Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo
Who met a young girl and he loved her so

Rich was she,
Came from a very high family,
Angelo knew it could never be,
They ran away to their destiny

Running away together
Running away forever
Angelo

[Robbie]

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar

Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who

At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)

[Nearly Sane]

When I pull up out front, you see the Benz on dubs (Uh-huh)
When I roll twenty deep, it's twenty knives in the club (Yeah)
Niggas heard I fuck with Dre, now they wanna show me love
When you sell like Eminem and the hoes, they wanna fuck (Woo)
Look homie, ain't nothin' changed: hoes down, G's up
I see Xzibit in the cut, hey nigga, roll that weed up! (Roll it!)
If you watch how I move, you'll mistake me for a player or pimp
Been hit with a few shells, but I don't walk with a limp (I'm aight)
In the hood in L.A. they sayin', "50, you hot" (Uh-huh)
They like me, I want 'em to love me like they love Pac
But holla in New York, the niggas'll tell you I'm loco (Yeah)
And the plan is to put the rap game in a chokehold (Uh-huh)
I'm fully focused, man, my money on my mind
Got a mil' out the deal and I'm still on the grind (Woo)
Now shorty said she feelin' my style, she feelin' my flow (Uh-huh)
Her girlfriend with her, they bi and they ready to go (Okay)

[Robbie]

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side"

Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"

And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

[Nearly Sane]

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

[Robbie]

The dress is Chanel, the shoes YSL
The bag is Dior, agent Provocateur
My address today, L.A. by the way
Above Sunset Strip, the hills are the way
My rings are by Webster, it makes their heads twirl
They all say, darling, what did you do for those pearls?
What? I am a good girl

B.H I adore, Rodeo l'amour
Breakfast Polo Lounge and poolside for sure
The Chateau for cocktails
The Courtyard at nine
Dan Tana's for dinner, the Helen's divine
You know I have found the words going round
They all say my feet never do touch the ground
What? I am a good girl

I am a good girl
Ohh
Uhh
Ahh

[Nearly Sane]

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest, then I have to let them be
Some boys try, and some boys lie
But I don't let them play, no way
Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
