Hey Merlin!

HEY MERLIN
The path to the house -- the path is overgrown
The door swings open -- there is no one home
They say a man lived here many years ago
But what happened to this man no one knows
no one knows
They say he had -- he had some magic friends
and they all met -- they all met tragic ends
Banished and scattered the wizards died
and now all the legends lie
the legends lie
Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
don't believe a word they say
Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
it was worth it anyway
Living backwards in time
Losing your mind
You fall from grace -- fall from grace before you're there
They soil your name -- soil it to protect theirs
all laughter and joking is illegal now
They'd ridicule you but they don't know how
don't know how

NEVER WORK
Walking down the city streets
my favorite sneakers on my feet
Shine so bright they hurt my eyes
There is magic in the sky
Behind the windows
And in the shadows
I like the picture in my hotel room
It is bolted to the wall
I like the lights
Outside my window
I like the long walk down the hall
Never work
Get around get around the hardest part
Never work
Get around the hard part
Elevator
in that building
Full of people
thinking bout killing
Time or each other
So look out brother
They never touch they rarely speak
They stare at the brown shoes on their feet
There is a room inside my room
There is fruit on every tree
There is a devil
Outside my window
He's got a fat paycheck for me

Just Around the Bend

JUST AROUND THE BEND
Just around the bend
There are some people
They're gonna be our friends
Just around the bend
It's spring then summer
Then spring then spring again
Around the bend
This road has got to end
Sweat in my eye
My head it aches my feet they hurt
Throat is getting dry
My fingernails are caked with dirt
This is not what I asked for
This was meant for someone else
All we want
Is a little for myself
Just around the bend
There is a cafe
Best food you ever ate
Just around the bend
It don't cost nothing
They let you break the plates
Bugs on the windshield
These wipers don't do anything
Holes in the floorboard
Could scrape the skin right off my feet
Seems we've been driving always
This old car ain't even mine
Odometer is turning
Watch it read 99,999.9
Just around the bend
There is a woman
The one you're waiting for
Just around the bend
We'll ditch this old car
Won't need it any more
Just around the bend
There is a woman
She's gonna comfort you
Just around the bend
I'll do what I want
You do what you want, too

Too Much Joy Scarsdale, New York
TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
