I guess he knew someone at RCA
or sorta had a friend at Matador
but he put the record out himself before they left for tour
and they broke up on the day they got back, I’m pretty sure
now he’s writin love songs… but I don’t know who they’re for
Tantrum after freakout after total mess
no no no no no no he wasn’t at his best
he was bound to burn it down and throw it all away
and he was gonna do it all publicly
yeah I know what he said… but I know what’s in his head
All these songs have secret names
I could tell you why.
But I would have to lie.

Look-out now! It’s Saturday night!
They’re lining up for Leonard’s out under the street lights
I’ve been waiting all week for this!
I’ll be tapping my toes, ya rattle ya hips
The security guard is combing out his beard in the windshield of his Chevrolett
He’s been standing out there all day
Tryin' to think of what a cop would say
I heard some guy was spittin trash at you
Me and my buddies are nothing like those dudes
We catch them coming ‘round here
I’ll insist they apologize, dear
Hills as high as mountains climb
Through the clouds blowing by
speaking secrets through the trees
Mongooses and surf graffiti
I think it’s all gonna be alright
Look-out now! It’s Saturday night!

3 Queens

Lucille, Pricilla, and Darlene showed up late - making a scene
The chandelier shattered - just from a look at them
Anybody there was wishing they could be them
Oh no no, they could not be missed
Each one of them was a goddamned lioness!
Just something other than the rest
You could cut yourself on the edges of their silhouettes
On the prowl downtown after sundown
We all knew they’d be out there, too
none of us could say we didn’t know what we were doin
Those big buildings start giving you
so many places a couple can slip into
Cop hears the laughter echo down the alleyway
“they’re only human - they got needs - I hear they even say ‘please’ - before they scratch you
Just to watch you bleed…”

Nobody ever told me why
I've been asking my entire life
Now you can’t stand to
Look me in the eye
Or stand
In a room I’m walking by
I hear you…
In your bedroom at the end of the hallway
This is a moment we we all remember
Last time we were all together
Can you hear me?
I know you can cuz I hear you
Can you tell me
I think you can
Here I am
I got a name but that’s not what they call me
You could have just let me die
But you chose to keep me alive
Can you hear me?
I know you can cuz I hear you
Can you tell me
I know you can
Here I am
I got a name but that’s not what they call me
Here I am
I got a name but that’s not what they call me
