It was a normal date with my girlfriend Sue
Blond hair, blue eyes and five foot two
The night was cold, the stars were bright
From over her shoulder came a great light

We parked the car down by three mile point
The top was down we were really going
I heard her cry, the reactor flaired
She grew and grew I freaked and stared

Attack of the fifty foot woman
Our love was at an end 
All she did to get her kicks was step on all the men.

''...And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds 
are immune to your consultations. 
They're quite aware
of what they're going through..."

The Who, You better you bet.
"...The word was comin’ down, down on Lonely Street.
That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail.
Every night I’d walk up and down this Lonely Street.
I get stinkin’ drunk, and always in jail.
One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler, he was caught on the street makin’ some old whore.
I remember he was quite proud of that,,,So half-crazed I shot him,
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor..."

KANSAS, "Lonely Street"- Song for America
"...Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
if you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway
you will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
and it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass

it’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s alright
it’s so groovy, it’s outta sight
you can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
but it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

You want it all but you can’t have it.

it's crying', bleedin’, lying on the floor
so you lay down on it and you do it some more
you’ve got to share it, so you dare it
then you bare it and you tear it

You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it

It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
it’s magic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win
it's dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain
it’s sad it happened and it’s a shame

You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it

What is it?
It’s it
What is it?..."

FAITH NO MORE, EPIC.

Our love grows stronger now with every hour

So you decide to make incisions at your home while you're alone, all alone

But you're no tailor, you're no surgeon, none of your cuts go very straight
Every new layer you uncover reveals something else you hate
And then you cracked your head, and broke some bones
And when you glued them back together you found out you did it wrong

Brand New, Science Fiction ‐ A fantastic concept effort. IMHO, the entire CD contains some of the best lyrics I've heard. From "Logic\Teeth" 

"...But you're no tailor, you're no surgeon, none of your cuts go very straight
Every new layer you uncover reveals something else you hate
And then you cracked your head, and broke some bones
And when you glued them back together you found out you did it wrong..."

Well you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?

So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
