I bet you've never heard olc Marshal Dillon say
Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of running away
Settling' down, would you merry me?
If I asked you twice and begged you, pretty please?
She'd have said, "Yes", in a New York minute
They never tied the knot, his heart wasn't in it
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
… I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to roll and ride
Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing someone's heart...
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those campfire songs
Yeah, I should've been a cowboy...
I could've been a sidekick with a funny name
Runnin' wild through the Ozarks chasin' Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of terrible danger
shooting shotguns at those texas rangers
Go west young man, haven't you been told?
California's full of energy, dreams, and gold
Sleepin' out all night beneath the desert stars
With a dream in my eye and a hole in my heart....
… I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to roll and ride
Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing someone's heart...
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those campfire songs
Yeah, I should've been a cowboy...

Swimming Song

This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
Moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes
I'm a self destructive fool
I'm a self destructive fool
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to boot
At the latter I was informal
At the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
Moved my arms around

Meaningless

Meaningless?
You mean it's all been meaningless?
Every whisper and caress?
Yes yes yes it was totally meaningless
Meaningless
Like when two fireflies flouresce
Just like everything I guess
Less less yes, it was utterly meaningless
Even less
A little glimpse of nothingness
Sucking meaning from the
Rest of this mess
Yes yes yes it was thoroughly meaningless
And if some dim bulb should say
We were in love in some way
Kick all his teeth in for me
AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE KEEPING ON KICKING
Feel free
Meaningless
Who dare say it wasn't meaningless?
Shout from the rooftops
And address the press
HA HA YES, it was totally meaningless
Meaningless
Meaning less than a game of chess
Just like your mother said
And mother knows best
I knew it all the time but now I confess
Yes yes yes how deliciously meaningless
Yes yes yes effervescently meaningless
Yes yes yes it was beautifully meaningless
Yes yes yes it was profoundly meaningless
Yes yes yes definitively meaningless
Yes yes yes comprehensively meaningless
Yes yes yes magnificently meaningless
Yes yes yes how incredibly meaningless
Yes yes yes unprecedentedly meaningless
Yes yes yes how mind-blowingly meaningless
Yes yes yes how unbelievably meaningless
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless

The systems fail
All the circuits blown
And the message lost in this machine oh
Try all the codes
All possibilities
All combinations but still nothing oh
Call for back up
From my assistant but
No one seems to know anything oh
Disconnect
Shut the main reactor down
And separate on this technology oh
I tried
You know I tried
I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
And even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe
You should be with me
I don't think
I'll find the love I want
The love im searching for
In this machine oh
I tried
You know I tried
I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
And even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe
You should be with me
I tried
You know I tried
I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
And even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe
You should be with me
I tried
You know I tried
I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
And even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe
You should be with me
