I'M IN A PLAY
WRITTEN TODAY
ABOUT A BOY
WHO HIDES IN ATTICS WHEN THE SUN IS UP
EVERYONE IS AT WORKWHAT WILL I DO
WHERE WILL I GO
SHOW ME THE WAY
TO THE ANGER, SHOW ME RULES OF THUMB
SHOW THE WAY TO GROW OLDLOVE IS A GUIDE
THE ENDLESS RIVER OF THE SOUL

BUT WE ARE MEAN
THE DRIED UP RIVERBEDS OF ROCK AND STONE
LUST IS MY FRIEND
SHE COMES TO ME WHEN I AM TIREDLIFE IS A ROAD
DEATH IS A MYTH
LOVE IS A FRAUD
IT'S MISUNDERSTOOD
WORK IS A SENTENCE
FAMILY'S A DRAG
THIS HOUSE IS A TRAPI'M IN A PLAY
WRITTEN TODAY
ABOUT A GIRL
SHE GETS ON PERFECTLY WITH YOUNG AND OLD
EVERYBODY LOVES HERWHAT WILL SHE WEAR
CUT OF HER HAIR
WAY THAT SHE SMILES
GRACEFULLY INTO THE WORKING WEEK
SHE HIDES HER BAGGAGE INSIDESHE'S GOT A FRIEND
AN UGLY MONSTER THAT WILL EAT YOUR FACE
SHE HAD TO CRY
A HEFTY CANDLE OF WASTED TIME
SHE'S GOT A FRIEND
A LONELY MONSTER THAT WILL PREY ON YOULIFE IS A SECRET
DEATH IS A MYTH
LOVE IS A FRAUD
IT'S MISUNDERSTOOD
WORK IS A SENTENCE
FAMILY'S A DRAG
THIS HOUSE IS A TRAPLIFE IS A SECRET
DEATH IS A MYTH
LOVE IS A FRAUD
IT'S MISUNDERSTOOD
WORK IS A SENTENCE
