Fez-A-Licious
04:27
|

Saw you, in a shisha cafe
A blood red fez, outrageous display
You drew from the nargile, with a smoldering air
Impetuous darling, so devil-may-care
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so delicious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so suspicious
Aw baby, don’t be capricious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so auspicious
Istanbul baby, bejeweled attire
You could bring down, the Ottoman empire
2 finger cymbals, one finger drum
Constantinople baby, here i come
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so delicious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so suspicious
Aw baby, don’t be capricious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so auspicious
Black tassle, resting on your face
Belly rhinestone, perfectly placed
Gifted tulips to the world
Your the best gift baby, my fezzed girl
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so delicious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so suspicious
Aw baby, don’t be capricious
Fez-A-Licious, you’re so auspicious

Just A Modern Guy
05:14
|
|||
Bought a mansion on a hill, got no furniture
Get my financial advice from a raconteur
Ask a simple question, question's “Do or die?"
The devil's in the answer, I’m just a modern guy
Good and evil, right for wrong
I turn a blind eye
All may change, but I remain
Just a modern guy
I’m just a modern guy
I’m just a modern guy
Trepidation, introspection, the truth I can't deny
The time has come, to declare
I’m just a modern guy
(chorus)
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
The truth be told, and I just may lie
When everything is said and done
I’m just a modern guy
If it wasn't for my mobile device, and my wireless box
My software packets, my cables coax
Satellite and the cloud, on which I rely
The error message flashing on my computer screen reads
I’m just a modern guy
Watched a movie on my laptop
Starring Terrence Stamp
Un piccolo film d'oscuro
Called “Toby Dammit"
He played a fading actor
“Celebrity!"
Medicated beyond existence, and reality
He stole an argent sports car
And came to an abandoned bridge
Saw an angel/devil girl
He's on the edge
In the end, you just know,
He's gonna die
There's no moral to this story
He's just a modern guy
(chorus)
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
Oooh....
I’m just a modern guy
The truth be told, and I just may lie
When everything is said and done
I’m just a modern guy.
*(repeat chorus)

Big Bad Boy

|

(chorus)
I’m a Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Living large’s my reputation
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Everyone’s consternation
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
I don’t need to be forgive’n
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Not gonna play it safe
‘Cause that ain’t live’n
Bang the drum
Walking proud and talk’n loudly
Oh my son
Laughing hard and sleep’n soundly
Oh my my
Killing me with your beauty
I just might die
Loving you’s my civic duty
(chorus)
I’m a Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Living large by definition
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
There is no apposing position
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
I don’t have any misgivings
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Not gonna play it safe
‘Cause that ain’t live’n
I drink vintage seltzer
I play vintage drums
I live in a vintage house
Just a total of all the sums
Don't believe in jesus
Don't believe in guns, “bang! bang!”
Don't like to play it quiet
Aw man, that ain’t have’n fun
Hit the stage
With all the force, of a nor’easter
Full outrage
For your love, I’m your jeepster
Me oh my
Strangest feeling of deja vu
I may die
Everytime, I see you
(chorus)
I’m a Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Living large by definition
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
There is no apposing position
Big bad boy, uh-huh
I don’t have any misgivings
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Not gonna play it safe
‘Cause that ain’t live’n
Who put the punk in punctuation?
Who put the ann in anarchy?
Got no time for half measures
Who put the booj in bourgeoisie?
Not a defeatist, a nihilist, or ill content
Not a pillar of society
Who put the ash in ashtabula?
Hey man! It wasn’t me!
(chorus)
I’m a Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Living large’s my reputation
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Everyone’s consternation
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
I don’t need to be forgive’n
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Not gonna play it safe
‘Cause that ain’t live’n
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Living large by definition
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
There is no apposing position
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
I don’t have any misgivings
Big Bad Boy, uh-huh
Not gonna play it safe
‘Cause that ain’t live’n

Betty Baby
04:52
|
|||
Raised in a broken-down trailer park
Hair dyed blue
A teenage white trash Joan of Arc
Punk rock ingenue
Reading vintage pulp fiction paperbacks
Abandon discarded
Unless they want her innocence
Her virtue, unguarded
Betty Baby
No longer a girl, not quite a lady
You’re so crazy
Making love in the backseat of a broken dream
Boss is a letch, a real mean prick
Step-dads’ no better
Mom can’t be bothered, real dad’s long gone
What’s one more suicide letter
Betty Baby
No longer a girl, not quite a lady
You’re so crazy
Making love in the backseat of a broken dream
You gotta get out of this tread worn town
No bliss, no passion
All you have to offer is a broken smile
Love’s not something you ration
Living in this angry, loathsome mean town
Will mean your end
There just’s gotta be a better way
Still… no godsend
A desperate man, intent on ill will
Betty, his object desire
He grabbed Betty, by the throat
Exhausted and tired
Betty jammed a penknife, straight up to his neck
But didn’t attack
Instead she bought a one way ticket on bus
And climbed in the back, now she’s singing
La da-da da-da-da daaa
Betty Baby, oh Betty Baby
La da-da da-da-da daaa
Betty Baby, oh Betty Baby
(repeat)
She’s singing…

Beware The Beast Man
04:02
|
|||
Beware The Beast Man
Politician, banker or priest
He may be the man with the most
But his ethics are the very least.
Beware The Beast Man
And his slim sleight of hand
He's a platinum business vip
Eating sushi and dating Lindsay Lohan.
Beware The Beast Man
Drummer in a rock and roll band
Wearing a silk ascot and wool fez
Holding court in a dark corner of night club land
Here comes the beast man
He's really gonna make the scene
Traveling across the time continuum
In his very own wayback machine… take it Mr. Peabody
Beware The Beast Man
Harvenger of death
Doomed right from the beginning
A story straight out of Macbeth… dragon's breath
Beware The Beast Man
A lawyer on retainer plan
He'll ruin your life just for fun
He's the devil's very own personal hitman
Look out for The Beast Man
He's stealing it all from you
In the final analysis,
For every beast man there's a beast woman too!

— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Harvard girl honey, walkin’ round the square
Sinfully sweet in your white blonde hair
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Sugar Blast baby, you’re just killin’ me
Tu es ma cherie, mes sucres
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
You grabbed my arm at the rock and roll show
You said, baby, is there somewhere we can go
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Sugar, there’s no rush, we got all night
You pushed me upstairs… I didn’t fight
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Sugary sexy, sinfully good
It’s gonna get messy, that’s understood
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Got the whipped cream, you know what i mean
Ambrosia and cherries, in the extreme
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Dancing on my bed, watching “Betty Blue”
Our very own decadent, pas de deux
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Confection perfection, a real pop tart
You’re like a dose of pure sugar, shot straight in my heart
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
On the living room floor, you drew a circle of fire
Dancing in the middle, sans attire (just your cowboy boots)
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
Move to LA, became a rockstar
Aww Sugar Blast baby, that’s just who you are

My Sugar Blast baby!
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow
— ditta maow-maow, ditta-ditta maow-maow (repeats)
A syrupy kiss, sweetly delivered
I want one more slice, one more sliver
My Sugar Blast
Tempt me then, tempt me forever,
Tempt soul, but never say never
Aww Sugar Blast
Dessert in high-heels, a scrumptious delight
Killin’ me, baby, with every single bite
My Sugar Blast
Long white boots, an oversized sweater
Aww Sugar Blast baby, it just doesn’t get much better
My Sugar Blast

Bound In Detroit
05:08
|
|||
Walking downtown on Woodward Avenue
Reminds me why I first bid adieu
Bound in Detroit without you
You’re living on the east coast my baby
I’m stuck here in the rustbelt just lately
Twisted around in Detroit without you
Hunt’in down the neighborhood local methlab
Hanging at the Leland, getting druck after rehab
Confound in Detroit without you
The guns on Belle Isle start a’ blaze’in
I’m so scared my heart is race’in
Drowned in Detroit without you
I really need you here right next to me
Got no money, gotta cop a plea
I’m on the rails and feeling blue
The time has past to commiserate
Just another lowlife reprobate
In a jam and don’t know what to do
Gotta bounty in Wayne County
Henry built the cars and tore up all the tracks
GM killed the dream on misled broken backs
Unsound in Detroit without you
This was the town of Gordy’s famous hat trick
Now the walk of shame is called Kilpatrick
Run a ground in Detroit without you
I wish you were with me, I wish you were near
This place has got me down, gotta get out of here
I’m in a rut don’t have a clue
Cold broken hungry, I’m all askew
Gotta get back on my feet and start anew
Living on the skids and feeling like I’m through
Car was stolen in the open
I’m all tied up
I had enough
I’m gonna erupt
4 - 3 - 2 - 1 (yelp!)
Awwwwwww Motor City town
You’re still the same
Unfazed, depraved and misbehaved
The cops show up and start to play
Gonna bash some heads either way
Impound in Detroit without you
When I come back to old town Detroit
It feels like everyones been exploited
Downed in Detroit without you
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
I think it’s time I abdicate
One day this city might obliterate
Unfound in Detroit without you
This is the town where I first got my start
Under my skin and always in my heart
Bound in Detroit without you
The Motor City
