Out in the desert It's good for the band To get away from it all Record on the sand Seven Legends On Camels Back 1001 Nights We'll Never Come Back Who is there to clear the dust? THERE IS ONLY US We'll watch all the dunes Put them in song Though they all look alike We're never turn wrong Our camels are fine Our camels are strong If their throats are dry it's from singing along who is there to pick us up THERE IS ONLY US

I checked you out at checkout To see what you'd buy Startled by your t-shirt Startled by that smile She's not your average girl (she's my Emirates girl) She's not your average girl (she flies around the world) Do you work for the Emmies? Or are you just a fan? Loyal to the gulf states? Or could i win your hand? (could i win your hand) I'd like to see your wardrobe baby do you have some more? I'd like to see that t-shirt When you toss it on the floor (toss it on the floor) She's not your average girl (she's my Emirates girl) She's not your average girl (she flies around the world)

Front Page Fiasco in the City They're gamblers and they're shifty Do you hear a sound? What is it Do you hear a sound? couldn't miss it Heaviest (Foot)Steps that there ever were Shaking Down Every Corridor Do you hear a sound? What is it Do you hear a sound? Couldn't miss it Everything we had we used against it Even if we knew we'd never guess it Tremors bounce just beneath us Menace abounds, you can't see it Where can we go it's all around us Think you're safe But then it's found us! Do you hear a sound? What is it Do you hear a sound? couldn't miss it Heaviest (Foot)Steps that there ever were Shaking Down Every Corridor Do you hear a sound? What is it Do you hear a sound? Couldn't miss it Everything we had we used against it Even if we knew we'd never guess it Down in pacific trenches Cables on the ocean floor Transatlantic secret currents Transmitting orders of war Down in pacific trenches Cables on the ocean floor Transatlantic secret currents Transmitting orders of war

It's not a silver spoon It's a silver band You don't put it in your mouth; you wear it on your hand Refinement and class, worthy of the idle rich Luxurious gold, with an ivory finish And the boys are like, heyyyyy - what have you got on your wrist? And the girls are like, heyyyyy - can I get a little kiss? _______ Why wasn't the hat the next big thing? Was it a price point deal, or the marketing? But the courtesy and warmth your greeting brings Goes deeper than how low your hat brim swings So here's a tip of the hat to ol' James Boyle Here's to the hunger to innovate It's the head for ideas and a willingness to toil It's what makes this country great Perhaps what counts is the effort that shows Maybe the gift is the hand raised and the hat tip The open palm is rich with meaning, you know But you won't find such storied depths in the movement of clothes So here's a tip of the hat to ol' James Boyle Here's to the hunger to innovate It's the head for ideas and a willingness to toil It's what makes this country great Is there a lesson to be learned? Is there a lesson to be learned?? Is there a lesson to be learned??? Is there a lesson to be learned???? Have some fucking common sense and understand your audience Have some fucking common sense and understand your audience Have some fucking common sense and understand your audience Have some fucking common sense and understand your audience

Name your price I’ll call it fair Name the hour I’ll meet you There just where the road turns round, and folds inside I’ll sit beside I prefer a different name if it’s all the same to you I prefer to stay alone, and that’s just what i’ll do I prefer a different name if it’s all the same to you, I prefer to stay a slave, and that’s just what i’ll do Name a star, just not after me By other name so Sweet some have the means to gage The light I’m… not I’ll shine beside I prefer a different name if it’s all the same to you I prefer to stay alone, and that’s just what i’ll do I prefer a different name if it’s all the same to you I prefer to stay a slave, and that’s just what i’ll do

Tender is the night the niiiight tender is the night I don’t fit in and they won’t let me I don’t fit in, but I don’t mind They never saw what I saw in myself I lowered myself to leave behind Let me tell you bout a secret of mine (secret of mine) Me and my friends do it all the time It’s been done since the beginning of time Always under wraps, cause it’s a crime I don’t fit in and they won’t let me I don’t fit in, but I don’t mind They never saw what I saw in myself I lowered myself to leave behind (secret of mine)

We’ll sail down the street Stop for a treat What shall we eat? I'll leave that to you. We’ll go to a show You pick the row Wherever we go I’ll be there with you When it’s dark and and the last lights have fell We’ll skip down the street To our creaky but chic boutique hotel We’ll visit great lands New York and Japan Whatever we planned I’ll be there with you When it’s dark and the last lights have fell We’ll skip through the street To our creaky but chic boutique hotel You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you You know what I like, and I like you

I remember the first time I saw a man with a popped collar, I thought, what a juxtaposition, what a strange prophetic vision, I remember. I remember the first time I saw a girl in a dog collar; What beauty! What defiance! Is it vicious or submissive? I remember; Remember the first time, I saw a young man in a bow tie too tight, hey look at that guy, look at that guy; And I remember the rise Of the ascot and pashmina, of the cravat the keffiyeh, of the choker stole and boa, of the bolo and bandana; And I sing my praises, throw my hands up for a craze so brave and brazen, I’ll rave about it to my grandson, take my hand and take a chance on giving life and giving fashion to the place your skull base rests on!!!

OHIO 02:51
They had some friends in Akron and Dayton She had a car and past she’d forsaken Broke down in Warren didn’t have a spare tire They met in a field, made eyes by the fire; They went to the monuments and looked at their heritage Ulysses Grant and Benjamin Harrison She took a wreath, lay it down She said Kyrie Eleison It’s a special spot, they’d never go The same place, in Ohio She had a car and a past she’d forsaken That burning river, grandpa’s filling station She said stay close, don’t go far Like Orville and Wilbur we’ll bike to the stars My hay bale’s taken, may I take your side The mountains end and the praries open Broke down in Warren didn’t have a spare tire They met in a field, made eyes by the fire It’s a special spot, they’d never go The same place, in Ohio O-H-I-O; O-H-I-O; O-H-I-O; O-H-I-O; O-H-I-O

It’s dirty hotel games, how are you? There’s nothing new, it’s all the same. Where do you live she asked? Uptown the last month and a half How many, and what’s their names? Yes, I like it, why not? It’s got the best scene and the best pot Of course I’m happy, wouldn’t train concrete over skin of a sap tree She believes me It’s dirty hotel games, who are you? The packaged soap on the white marble Fresh cottons and linens who and what are these women? It’s morning now, I think I have it right Yes I like it, why not? It’s got the best scene and the best pot Of course I’m happy, wouldn’t train concrete over skin of a sap tree She believes me.

How green does your garden grow Been here for a while, have seeds to sow I’ll plant a new soul, be friends with your old one Water the pot and grow at your own pace Best of all you can keep your own face Host bodies badly tuned bedside payments in dark rooms Host bodies badly tuned bedside payments in dark rooms Host bodies badly tuned bedside payments in dark rooms; Host bodies badly tuned bedside payments in dark rooms I’ve been on the road for many a year I’m planting wide and I’m planting here The climate’s mild, the subject’s great! Water the pot and grow at your own pace Best of all you can keep your own face I’ll plant a new soul..how green you will grow..You can keep your own face..the pod will know it’s own place..I’ll plant a new soul… how green you will grow... you can keep your own face...

Summer Livin 02:09
Counting down the days til the summertime Growing my nails out Drawing on my tan lines These boots were made for walking on landmines pulling my punchlines Given my build, I could kill with a misplaced hand sign I got a 22 but it’s out 23 look into my eyes, do you want to mess with me? Look into my eyes and see (look into my eyes and see) Lots to do, but you can come along with me Look into my eyes and see (look into my eyes and see) Lots to do, but you can come along with me Jacking off to the Jeffersons Me and brother Sherman marching to our mansions Beating hearts make the plushest prisions It’s summer livin; Drive into the sunset, no more tough decisions I got a 22 but it’s out 23 look into my eyes, do you want to mess with me? Look into my eyes and see (look into my eyes and see) Lots to do, but you can come along with me Look into my eyes and see (look into my eyes and see) Lots to do, but you can come along with me

I wonder would you take me by the hand Please, please will you accept my pretzel can It’s not much, it’s not a meal I want to let you know how I feel Salt and wheat, I hoped we’d meet I saved it up for someone sweet I wonder would you take me by the hand Please, please will you accept my pretzel can
