Dee don’t you know that your mother
Loves you so and that’s the truth
But what would you do if your mother let you go
Oh she won’t Dee your mother loves you so
Dee don’t you know should you fall
Onto hard times she’ll be there
And even if the breeze knocks you to your knees
Please I know your mother Dee she loves you so
But should I say that if you may one day
Feel that she lied to you
And then you feel that nothing does seem real
Know this that she always tried to do the very best of things it seemed
Dee Don’t you know that your father
Had no plans to be a man
When the time had come all your daddy did was run
And I knew your life would never be the same
Dee don’t go don’t lie to me
It’s too hard on my mind
Dee please step away from me
Until it’s closing time
Dee don’t you know that
Your mama sacrificed everything
Jewels in her hands were only ever made of sand
But for you the love she had could not be sold
But should I say that if you may one day
Feel that she lied to you
And then you feel that nothing does seem real
Know this that she always tried to do the very best of things it seemed

In a place that I see that i know that'll you'll never be mine
But your breaking my heart all the same sweet Rosie Marie
And I wish that you would like to be with me

Dalton Walsh

Dalton was the kind of man
That never would leave well enough alone
Dalton put his thumb to air
And took himself so far away from home
Dalton did you leave us
Cause you didn’t like the way we treated you?
Dalton won’t you need us
When you’re penniless in sand in old Peru?
Dalton won’t you need us
Dalton won’t you need us
When you’re penniless in sand in old Peru?
Yeah
Dalton took his napkin from the table
In a rest stop restaurant
He had such strange directions in his brain and head
About the things he thought
Oh Dalton took his hand
And flung it way into the air
Laughing at the life he’d led
But now he did not care
Floating from the sky and landing
Back into his hands
Dalton Walsh was set to be so free
Dalton won’t you stay a while
Dalton won’t you play a while
Dalton won’t you give that smile to me
Dalton lifted up his eyes
And headed for a life in other land
He didn’t have a place to sleep or food to eat
But he had both his hands
Dalton felt affection for the life he’d never led
Passionately dreaming but the words he never said
Now he’s on the way to being who he’s meant to be
Ahh Dalton always wanted to be free

Nobody there is alive
Here at the Haunted Schoolhouse
They make the living go right outta their mind
We need a plan yeah we need a strong man
Someone to get all these freaks outta town
I’m not trying to scare you I just wanna share
Do you think you would like them all here in our town?
I don't care I think it's okay
I know I don't mind them here do you?
I think you do Mommy what the hell is wrong with you?
Cause they’re different than both you and me
And I'm scared of every little thing I've never seen
I never never seen before
Now Melody's Mommy said it's okay
If you wanna be friends with a living or two
Maybe we could even say invite them over
Cause everybody's here welcome at miss Melanie's school
Here at the Haunted Schoolhouse
Nobody there is alive
At the Haunted Schoolhouse
They'll make the living go right outta their mind
I'm sorry but you cannot go to that schoolhouse
It's haunted with zombies and things of all kind
Melody's Mommy said ask your friend Isabelle
Nadia's going to mom why can't I
Everybody knows that nobody here is alive (mom why can’t I?)
Everybody knows that nobody here is alive (mom why can’t I?)
Everybody knows that nobody here is alive (mom why can’t I?)
Everybody knows that nobody here is alive
Cause they’re different than both you and me
And I'm scared of every little thing I've never seen
I never never seen before
Well Isabelle decided that she would change things
Nadia decided she would change things too
So the very next day they told their Mommy's

At the End of My Friend
04:54
|
|||
|
In my arms I have held you
And my hands have held you too
But you were pulled away from beside me
I had to dig a hole and bury you
In a world that felt lonely
Was the world before you
Such a gift that I did not anticipate
The gift of you
You coming?
Gonna miss it
It seemed as though to me
That you would never leave
Now I know that is ridiculous of me
To think a friend like you could always be
And I cried until my heart was beyond broken
Cause it was you that healed my pain
Passing through this last moment together
Now my life will never be the same
At the end (I love you Tony)
At the end ( I miss you)
Of my friend
At the end at the end
At the end at the end
Of my friend

Tin Toy Soldier
03:15
|

|
The segregated tin toy soldier went walking up the hill
He saw her but he didn’t know her
He knew she lived way at the top the soldier wouldn’t ever stop
Trying to reach the top of the hill
He passed the cotton candy forest that were several other shades of blue
As he passed the candy forest narrow did become his path
It only made the soldier laugh
He knew he’d reach the top of the hill
And when sometimes he’d have a little trouble
The segregated tin toy soldier moved on
He pushed through and seen so many other things
But he still walked to the top of the hill
Just as the sky was clouding over an evil man he stole his arms
Now left with only shoulders the tiny segregated man
Travelled on without his hands
Walking to the top of the hill
And when sometimes he’d have a little trouble
The segregated tin toy soldier moved on
He pushed through and seen so many other things
But he still walked to the top of the hill
Well he stopped to rest for a moment and suddenly the tin toy man
He saw her but he didn’t know it
Long had she been walking through the candy forest of colours blue
Trying to reach the top of the hill
Oh and when sometime she would have a little trouble
The sad and lonely beautiful princess moved on
She pushed through and seen so many other things

There's a frog on your back and he's really quite nice
Sometimes he talks to me
He says that he does not want me to be so
Lonely while you're asleep
There's a frog on your back there's a frog on your back
Baby don't you know there's a frog on your back
He's got love in his heart he's got a question to ask
Yeah baby don't you know there's a frog on your back
Now he tells me the tale how he became
To life with a needle you see
And how that you chose his forever pose
And just how you'd want him to be
It’s there and then when you begin
My darling i am so in love with you
So I do say it everyday and then you say
That you love me too that you love me too
With your frog tattoo
Now the day that I saw you I said ahh
Oh my oh my
He's tall and he seems so handsome to me
Oh my oh my
So saying to myself it would be
So nice to have someone just like you
Yeah with a blue bag hanging around your shoulder
And i cannot keep both my eyes off of you
both my eyes off of you
Yeah with your frog tattoo
There's a frog on your back and he's really quite nice
Sometimes he talks to me
I hold you and when I start to begin
As time goes hopping away
You're all that i need and i truly believe
There is only one thing left to say

Hey yeah well this is the story of Mr. Felix Del Tredici
Yeah the same Felix del Tredici with kokopelli on his arm
Well he built a time machine yeah just so he could meet The Beatles
George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
They were fab four from liverpool
And they were just fresh from out of school
As they starting singing songs
In the key of E
As they travelled far across the land
To learn how from another man
Just how that they could
Play the key of B
So disguised as Dr. Robert Mr. Felix Del Tredici
Yeah the same Felix Del Tredici travelled back in time through space
Pontificating destination's Penny Lane or Abbey Road?
In his yellow subma-time-machine fueled by a Hofner bass
And it was powered by the interview
Where Lennon gave his point of view
How The Beatles had become
Bigger then Jesus
To control the destination year
Assisted by Martha My Dear
Who was known as
Scientifically courageous
He had always dreamed of meeting
John George Ringo and sir Paul
Just to thank them for their music
It had changed the lives of all
As the yellow sub-ma-time-machine went rolling back through time
Well kokopelli and Del Tredici stopped in 1969
Just in time to dig a pony to get back and to Let it Be
At the final rooftop concert where The Beatles played for free
They were tired of all the business deals
And the music wasn't feeling real
And they decided that the end it
Might be nearing
They agreed as they looked everywhere
The music is what put them there
And in the end it's what we
Are all were hearing
He had always dreamed of meeting
John, George, Ringo and sir Paul
So he thanked them for their music
And he said good-bye that's all
Well this was the story of Mr. Felix Del Tredici
Yeah the same Felix del Tredici with kokopelli on his arm
Well he built a time machine yeah just so he could meet The Beatles
George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
