"It's the cool of the evening, the sun's goin' down
I wanna hold you in my arms, I wanna push you around
I wanna break your bottle and spill out all your charms
Come on baby, let's set off all the burglar alarms."
"I may be drunk but at least I'm not insane."
"I may be drunk but at least I'm not insane."
"Pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more."
"The piano has been drinking, not me."
"Champaign for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends."
"Veal cutlet came down...started beatin' the shit outa my cuppa coffee...coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself...."
"My friends think I'm ugly, I gotta masculine face."
"Change your shorts, change your life, change your life, change into a 9-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife..."
"I knew him when he was nothing and he hasn't changed a bit."
"And it is such a sad old feeling, All the fields are soft and green. And it's memories that I'm stealing, But you're innocent when you dream."
"The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town, till we bury every dream in the cold cold ground."
"And the earth died screaming As I lay dreaming"
"The bullets that lead straight to the devil's world, just like marijuana leads to heroine."
"Won't you tell me, brave captain why are the wicked, so strong, how can the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves his porch light on."
"Theres a golden moon that shines up through the mist
And I know that your name can be on that list
Theres no eye for an eye theres no tooth for a tooth
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth
He was down there by the train."
"If you've lost all hope, If you've lost all your faith
I know you can be cared for, I know you can be safe
And all of the shamefuls, and all of the whores
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
Is down there by the train."
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
"Never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead"
"I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!'"
