Shelbyville!
It's hell its small town hell
They don't really like us well
I bet you think we suck, too
But there all in love with you
We can't live here anymore
When every day is such a bore
So Dan, what's the plan
let's get outta here man
(CHORUS )
HEY shelby, Shelbyville
Cant get it right in Shelbyville
WITH YOUR LITTLE STRIP AND big fat mill
Taking you on is like a big fat pill
Alt*
Leavin town, you know the drill
(Repeat )
Myrtle beach packs way more heat
Wilmington's got a studio street
Where clt and Asheville meet
Even forest city's got a bigger beat
(CHORUS )
HEY shelby, Shelbyville
Cant get it right in Shelbyville
WITH YOUR LITTLE STRIP AND big fat mill
Taking you on is like a big fat pill
Alt*
Leavin town, you know the drill
Bridge
Jefferson Starship had it right
When they built that city on
Rock n rolls flight
We're leavin...leavin tonight
We'll be gone before first light
(CHORUS )
HEY shelby, Shelbyville
Cant get it right in Shelbyville
WITH YOUR LITTLE STRIP AND big fat mill
Taking you on is like a big fat pill
Alt*
Leavin town, you know the drill

Actress
Actress
(Sung)
She was wasting away, in that dead end job
just passin' time, for a story book hob
She was savin' it all for that curtain call
But when she finally woke up, she was resigned to fall
Behind the scenes, down easy street
Lookin like fiona, not skippin a beat
Just a lonely girl, with no Romeo
Counting the days and taking its toll
(Chorus)
Face in place, she was an
Actress
Jeans on straight, she was an
Actress
No more hate, she was an
Actress
Takin the bate , she was an
Actress
Mama always told her as a little girl
You could be a movie star and take a twirl
She got a perm with lots of curls
Now I've got everything to rule the world
Up high in the Hollywood hills
She couldn't even pay her dirty bill's
Down the pch, before it got late
Another troubadour show just after eight
Face in place, she was an
Actress
Jeans on straight, she was an
Actress
No more hate, she was an
Actress
Takin the bate , she was an
Actress
Bridge
Just a silly girl Livin the dream
Even tho nothings as It seems
To steal her heart is like a hill of beans,
And daddy always made me eat my greens
Like Popeye staying mean and lean
Just a movie star on the hollywood scene
No credits at all to redeem
Please God make me a rock-n-roll queen
(Chorus)
Face in place, she was an
Actress
Jeans on straight, she was an
Actress
No more hate, she was an
Actress
Takin the bate , she was an
Actress
Salt Water Taffey
Its sweet
Its salty
He's sweet
He's salty
On the brink
I dive into a sugary pool
Neglected and projected
Thrown Into a world where
I stand still
Mr. Belvedere bites the dust
If I cuss
I must
I must
But in trust
To fuss
To fuss
Is lush
(Chorus)
What do ya get when you mix salt water taffey
Rainbow colors in every hue
What do ya get when you mix salt
Water taffey
A butchered bit of endless solitude
(Repeat twice)
Psychobitch
She likes my hair, my eyes
What a surprise
What about my lips and tits
They'd get good tips
Are you the jealous type?
That's right...
If you tell me I'm on drugs or crazy
I'm just gonna think you're an envious lady
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
When she's got dibs on a caveman
Whom might as well play sports then
What is she... a cheerleader??
Only in high school baby
Only in high school baby
That only matters in high school baby
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
You're not even worth a bridge bitch
If you even know what that is bitch!
You-are-a-
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
She's a psychobitch, psychobitch
This Came Out Of My Happy Meal
Intro
This came out of my happy meal
So tried and tribulated
Harsh words so unwanted and confiscated
Birthdays so belated--
Verse 1
Once upon a time, under a blue moon
I was sheltered...
Sheltered from your insecurities
Institutions wreck havoc on one's sanity
Taken for granted...
If an apple a day is delayed by five
A tribe of hummingbirds will dip into my grain of salt on this relationship
What relationship?
This relationship
How many times do I have to hear you're crazy... or just willing...
And crazy...
(Chorus)
I spend my life preoccupied
Preoccupied that one day
One day it will all just go away
Will I smile then?
Or shed a tear for the willingness of evolution...
(Repeat)
Verse 2
She sits by my side
My lap... empty... barely
Her left ringfinger drumming drumming a tune that goes clank clank
To the heartbeat in my ears...
Drumming.... ringing... Drumming.... ringing
One ring to rule them all -- just barely
Barely.
Barely I breathe. And i feel her breath on my neck, barely....
Just barely--
(Chorus)
I spend my life preoccupied
Preoccupied that one day
One day it will all just go away
Will I smile then?
Or shed a tear for the willingness of evolution...
(Repeat)
Bridge
I pray dear God to a yellow Sun that one fine day we'll all just come undone
Come undone....
What life is after is asking that you care for ever after, are you asking?
Asking?
If time flies when you're havin' fun
Then can we please just please just please just
Celebrate the good...
(Chorus)
I spend my life preoccupied
Preoccupied that one day
One day it will all just go away
Will I smile then?
Or shed a tear for the willingness of evolution...
(Repeat)
