KINGDOM
Three dates a day, I used to be a famous playboy
Survived a plane crash and married a beautiful wife
We love ballet and dance around with charm
The uptown theater is named after me
I will pay for the party for you and me we will change this game how ever you want
We’re free as long as you’re with me please give me the key to the kingdom
No matter how long it takes us to get there we’ll change this world how ever you like
We're safe as far as you follow me let me take you down to my kingdom
With seventeen billion, I’m a generous man
Surviving cancer for many years now
I support some gatherings across America
I’d like to tell you a dream we deserve
I will pay for the party for you and me we will change this game how ever you want
We’re free as long as you’re with me please give me the key to the kingdom
No matter how long it takes us to get there we’ll change this world how ever you like
We're safe as long as you follow me let me take you down to my kingdom

This Old World
04:07

When there is a flash in the cosmic pan
Some will be born and some will die
You never thought you’d live this long
This world’s getting older every day
I am not afraid to die
I am lost I don’t know if I could survive or not
Many more years I have dreamed ahead of me
We are in for a big surprise
God is taking a nap right now
We will have to find an answer for this old world
Jean’s a hundred twenty-two years old
She’s the oldest person in the world
Please help her dear, she needs you so,
I am sorry I make you work so hard
I am not afraid to grow up, but I am tired
I don’t know if I could survive or not
Many more years I have dreamed ahead of me
We are in for a big surprise
God is taking a nap right now
We will have to find an answer for this old world
We are in for a big surprise
God is taking a nap right now
We will have to find an answer for this old world, this old world
Old world, this old world
Old world, this old world
Old world, this old world
Old world, this old world
Old world, this old world

I Am a Man
04:14

I’m a picture-taker from Memphis, Tennessee
Got a studio on Beale street and everyone stops by
I am a man with a playful mind
I am a man with friendly eyes
Got eight kids and a wife, not so easy to get by
Then agents came around and pressed me to join them
I am a man with a curious mind
I am a man with wary eyes
Ninety fifty-five, I took a snapshot of the killers in the court room
Got that picture circulated, got more assignments covering stories
I am a man with a courageous mind
I am a man with intrusive eyes
People were living in a dirt-field, called tent city near Someville
From Memphis to Jackson we marched on against fear
I was right there at the motel when Dr. King was gunned down
Right after it happened I snapped him in a pool of blood
I am NOT a man with a ruthless mind
I am a man with private eyes
I'm gonna show you how to take pictures, the money shot, I call it
I am in heaven with my camera, I really miss snapping around you
I am a man with a charming smile
I am a man in the secret files
I am a Man

Boogieman Comes Around
04:14
|

My name is Karl, I sell a book I wrote, a tragic mystery
About a man with crude appetites, he is a master sorcerer
He's going to put a spell on you
Boogieman coming around, Boogieman
It’s been a while since I got a good review, but you know who I am
I am the man with the big bushy beard, and I’m a best-seller again
I’m going to spell out for you
Boogieman coming around, Boogieman
I saw a story today on Fox News, a tragic comedy
About a man who wants more than enough, he’s a master blaster
He's going to blow up on you
Boogieman comes around, blows up on you
I heard you've lost everything you had, a panic in misery
Now you know you were part of the problem, it’s you who shot your own foot
I told you a long time ago
Boogieman coming around, blows back on you
Boom, bubble and bust
Boom, bubble and bust
Boom, bubble and bust
Boom, bubble and bust

TIME

Buy some shoes of Spanish leather You can wear them to a party
Why do you hate the way you walk Now’s the time to be someone
Time is free if you're hanging on You can get whatever you want
Time is free if you're hanging on You can keep what you own
Buy a catsuit made out of velvet You can dance and steal a party
Why wait if you want him? It’s now or never, or you miss him
Time is free if you're hanging on You can get whatever you want
Time is free if you're hanging on You can keep what you own
Buy some time if you need it There is no need to hurry
Pay your dues when you're ready You can make it don't worry
Why do you stay the way you are? It’s now or never if you want a life
Earn more if you squander. There's no need to feel guilty
Time is free if you're hanging on You can get whatever you want
Time is free if you're hanging on You can keep what you own
Time is free if you're hanging on You can get whatever you want
Time is free if you're hanging on You can keep what you own
Time is free if you're hanging on You can get whatever you want
Time is free if you're hanging on You can keep what you own

Fortune Cookies
03:36

You’ll meet a stranger, tall dark and handsome, that’s what my cookie said
And fame and fortune, are in my future, at least that’s what I read
Hard to believe it, but I have good luck, that’s what my cookie said
I have great beauty, and lots of talent, at least that’s what I read
How come fortune cookies never
Tell you any thing bad
Just once I would like to read one that
Says I’m gonna die soon
How come fortune cookies never
Tell you any thing bad
Just once I would like to read one that
Says I’m gonna die soon
I met a stranger, tall, dark and handsome, just like my cookie said
But fame and fortune are fading quickly, that wasn’t what I read
Hard to believe it, now I have bad luck, not like my cookie said
Lost all my money, nobody loves me, that wasn’t what I read
How come fortune cookies never
Tell you any thing bad
Just once I would like to read one that
Says I’m gonna die soon

In My Skin

I was neglected the minute I was born
Mom and dad were wasted, drinking all day
Born in a small town, Crescent, Oklahoma
An easy target because I was gay
Am I really a boy? I'm so scared
Am I really a girl? I'm so confused
Dad got violent, shooting up the house
My mom tried to save me, and tried to kill herself
Drifting from town to town, sleeping in a truck
I joined the army so desperate to be someone else
I'm really a boy, I'm a soldier
I'm really a girl, I'm so confused
I was a big mess but deployed to the Iraq war
as an analyst, reviewing many secret files
I was troubled by the truth I didn't know
That's when I knew I had to tell the world
I'm really a girl, not a soldier
I'm really a girl, I have to tell you the truth
I need to be the someone I always wanted to be
I want to be my real self, to be in my skin
I need to be somebody else I've never had a chance before
I want to be my real self, to live in my skin

You Can't Win
02:35

Born in a ghost town by the desert and the county jail
No work no place to go, no matter how hard i tried
Didn't know how to save my skin and I robbed a man at a trading post
Arrested me at the border but I tell you I didn’t hurt no one
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
I got shattered into pieces, when I was in the county jail
As soon as they let me go, they busted me for the same robbery
No hope no place to hide, no matter how good I was
Never cried when they flogged me 'cause i know how to numb my pain
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
Born in a ghost town by the desert and the county jail
No work no place to go, no matter how hard i tried
Didn't know how to save my skin and I robbed a man at a trading post
Arrested me at the border but I tell you I didn’t hurt no one
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
