WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
See me silently quietly creep,
I am too amped to sleep
Lamp rays shining down,
street lamps make the bussing sound
Subway creaking down below,
garbage piled up and ready to go
Lock the windows the gates on, taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day,
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark,
cool cats strolling after dark
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
Shaky lock and kicky door,
smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt, all is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day,
New York beauty take my breath away
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
WATCH THE WATCH THE WAY I WALK,
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?
CAN’T YOU THINK MY MOVEMENTS TALK?(x3)

Well I can't understand,
anything about you
Help you if I can, what can I do
Here's your new home,
that's where you must be
In the institution ‘cause you're so lazy
But if you must act up,
again and again
'cause everybody knows,
you're a hopeless problem
Here's your new home,
that's where you must be
In the institution ‘cause you're so lazy
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE SICK TOO
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
But if you must act up,
again and again
'cause everybody knows,
you're a hopeless problem
Here's your new home,
that's where you must be
In the institution ‘cause you're so lazy
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE SICK TOO
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
Well I can't understand,
anything about you
Help you if I can, what can I do
Here's your new home,
that's where you must be
In the institution ‘cause you're so lazy
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE SICK TOO
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE SICK TOO
OH WELL
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SICK

My mom and dad are always fighting, and it's getting very un-exciting
To get a good job you need a proper schooling,
now who the hell do you think you're fooling
BUT IT’S NOT MY PLACE
NO IT’S NOT MY PLACE
NO IT’S NOT MY-NOT MY-NOT MY PLACE IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD
AND IT’S NOT MY PLACE
IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD
AND IT’S NOT MY PLACE
WITH 9 TO 5 GIRL
IT’S NOT MY PLACE
IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD
Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all, and Phil Spector really has it all it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V., Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc
(CHORUS)
Don't wanna be a working stiff lose my identity
'cause when it comes to working
9 to 5 there ain't no place for me
Ain't my reality to me
Vin Scelsa's on the radio,
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show with Allan Arkush and
Stephen King you know
BUT IT’S NOT MY PLACE
NO IT’S NOT MY PLACE
NO IT’S NOT MY-NOT MY-NOT MY PLACE IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD
AND IT’S NOT MY PLACE
IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD
AND IT’S NOT MY PLACE
WITH 9 TO 5 GIRL
IT’S NOT MY PLACE
IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD

She's a sensation, she's a sensation, ah-ah, she looks so sweet
She's a sensation, she's a sensation, ah-ah, good enough to eat
She's a sensation, ah oh-oh-oh,

She's a sensation, she's a sensation, ah-ah, I'm gonna make her mine
No matter what you do (you do),
I give my heart to you (to do)
and oh-oh-baby, I will give it to you
No matter what they say (they say),
yeah, we can find a way (a way)
And oh-oh baby, we can find a way
I didn't know until I walked you home
that I feel the way I do
And I don't care what the neighbours say
I always will be true
I always will love you, love you...

I met her at the 7-11 yeah,
now I'm in seventh heaven
Tell me, tell me, can this be true,
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
She was standing by the Space Invaders
so I said: can I see you later
Ah yeah we went for a little spin down to the Holiday Inn
WE WERE YOUNG AND IN LOVE WE WERE YOUNG AND IN LOVE
AND YOU’RE THE ONLY GIRL
I’M EVER THINKING OF
We went down to the record swap, the kids were dancing to the Blitzkrieg Bop
Bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop
What ever happened to the radio
and where did all the fun songs go
summer fun with the Beach Boys on, but we all know what went wrong
WE WERE YOUNG AND IN LOVE, WE WERE YOUNG AND IN LOVE
AND YOU’RE THE ONLY GIRL
I’M EVER DREAMING OF
And so we went out to the dance... which turned into a whole romance
And after just one night I never thought that things could be so right
Oh no-no no no no-no no
I kissed and hugged her and I said goodbye,
last thing I knew she wouldn't make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control,
it crushed my baby and
it crushed my soul
Now all I got is sorrow and pain, standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass, the sirens and pain, it's driving me insane
(CHORUS 1) (x4)

YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
Skies were cloudy everyday,
nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance,
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy,
nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up,
our heads were so achey
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
We got to get away,
another lawn to mow
We had our last chance,
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy,
even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up,
forget the agony
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
Everybody was cranky
even the maids were mean
We came across a miracle,
there was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up,
forget the agony
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME
YOU DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME

I am living at the matinee, yeah,
I just want to sleep and play
Come on now, come on now, when the folks are not around
Come on now, come on now,
nagging about the sound
Come on now, come on now,
to turn that racket down
I'm just a comic book boy,
there's nothing scary to enjoy
Freak admission stroll inside,
I was born on a roller coaster ride
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
