60 Feet Tall

You're so cruel and shameless

But I can't leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly
Hooked up to my motor
All day long
We go down to Teas
!p to "ontreal
Two eyes none the wiser
In the deep
When the water gets hotter
Both hands in the deep
You got my attention
You got it all
I can take the trouble
I'm #$ feet tall
I know it ain't easy
I must tap your evil well
%os boy& do you come roaring
'ike a bat out of hell
You drive me so reckless
You'll kill us all
I can take the trouble
I'll take you on
I can take the trouble
I'm #$ feet tall
You're so cruel and shameless
But I can let leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
But I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly
I can take the trouble

Are Your Friends Electric?
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling o( of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat& grey hat& smoking a
cigarette
)ow the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room
like this
There's a knock on the door
And *ust for a second I thought I
remembered you
+o now I'm alone
)ow I can think for myself
About little deals and issues
And things that I *ust don't understand
A white lie that night
,r a sly touch at times
I don't think it mean anything to you
+o I open the door
It's the friend that I'd left in the
hallway
'-lease sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the
bed
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric.
,nly mine's broke down
And now I've no/one to love
+o I found out your reasons
0or the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
+o it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
