    Toys In the Attic

    In the attic lights
    Voices scream
    Nothing's seen
    Real's a dream

    Leaving the things that are real behind
    Leaving the things that you love from mind
    All of the things that you learned from fears
    Nothing is left for the years

    Voices scream
    Nothing's seen
    Real's a dream

    (Chorus)
    Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
    Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
    Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
    Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic

    Lights
    Voices scream
    Nothing's seen
    Real's a dream

    Leaving the things that are real behind
    Leaving the things that you love from mind
    All of the things that you learned from fears
    Nothing is left for the years

    Voices scream
    Nothing's seen
    Real's a dream

    (Repeat Chorus) (yayayayayayayow!)

    Uncle Salty

    Uncle salty told me stories of a lonely
    Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
    My mammy was lusted, daddy he was busted
    They left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
    But when she cried at night, no one came
    And when she cried at night, went insane

    Uncle salty told me when she was just a baby
    That she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
    But soon she found her mother's love for all the others
    The pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
    But when she cried at night, no one came
    And when she cried at night, went insane

    Oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
    Oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
    Oooh, oh yeah
    Oooh, oh yeah, yeah yeah

    Now she's doin any for money and a penny
    A sailor with a penny or two or three
    Hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
    They all come for fun and it seems to me
    That when she cried at night, no one came
    And when she cried at night, went insane

    Oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window

    Adam's Apple

    Back when Cain was able
    Way before the stable
    Lighting struck right down from the sky
    A mother ship with fate said let's give it a try
    Conscience was related
    Man he was created
    Lady luck took him by surprise
    A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
    Well she ate it
    Lordy it was love at first bite
    Well she ate it
    Never knowin wrong from right right right
    Even Eve in Eden
    Voices tried deceiving
    With lies that showed the lady the way
    At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away
    Man he was believer
    Lady was deceiver
    So the story goes but you see
    The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree
    So she ate it
    Lordy it was love at first bite
    Well she ate it
    Never knowin wrong from right right right
    Whooooaaa......
    Conscience was related
    Man he was created
    When lady luck took him by surprise
    The sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
    Evil came like reignin
    Who knows who's to blamin
    Something tried to lay her to waste
    And all she want and need was just a little taste
    Whooa, she ate it
    Lordy it was love at first bite
    Well she ate it
    Never knowin wrong from right right right
    Well she ate it
    Lordy it was love at first bite
    Yeah she ate it
    Never knowin wrong from right right
    Oh that's right

    Walk This Way

    Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
    'Til I talked to your daddy he say
    He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
    Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
    I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
    Oh the times I could reminisce
    'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
    Only started with a little kiss
    A like this

    See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
    And your feet flyin' up in the air
    Singin' hey diddle diddle
    With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
    So I took a big chance at the high school dance
    With a missy who was ready to play
    Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'

    And I know love was here to stay
    When she told me to

    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way

    A just gimme a kiss
    Like this

    School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
    Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
    It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
    When I noticed they were lookin' at me
    I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
    'Til the boys told me something I missed
    Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
    So I gave her just a little kiss
    A like this

    Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
    And your feet flyin' up in the air
    I sing hey diddle diddy
    Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
    So I took a big chance at the high school dance
    With a missy who was ready to play
    Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
    When she told me how to walk this way
    She told me to

    Walk this way
    Talk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Walk this way
    Talk this way

    A just gimme a kiss

    Believe it, this chick's no sinch
    When I wanna get her goin'

    when she puts on my big ten-inch

    Record of the band that plays the blues
    Well the band that plays the blues
    She just loved my Big Ten Inch
    Record of her favorite blues

    and liquor just makes her flinch
    Seems she don't go for nothin'
    'cept for my big ten-inch

    Record of the band that plays the blues
    Band that plays the blues
    She just loved my Big Ten Inch
    Record of her favorite blues

    Sweet Emotion

    Sweet Emotion
    Sweet Emotion

    You talk about things that nobody cares
    You're wearing out things that nobody wears
    You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
    I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

    When some Sweat Hot mama with a face like a gent
    Said my get up and go musta got up and went
    Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
    'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

    Sweet Emotion
    Sweet Emotion

    When I pulled into town in a police car

    Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
    You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
    You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
    Yes it did

    You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
    I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
    I'll talk about something you're sure to understand
    'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand

    No More No More

    Blood stains the ivories
    Of my daddy's baby grand
    I aint' seen no daylight
    Since we started this band
    No More, No More
    No More, No More

    Store bought clothes
    fallin' appart at the seams
    Tea leaf readin' gypsies
    Fortune tellin' my dreams

    No More, No More
    No More, No More

    Holiday Inns, lock the door with a chain
    You love it and you hate it
    But to me they're all the same

    No More, No More
    No More, No More

    Baby I'm a dreamer
    Found my horse and carriage

    Stalemate jailbait
    Ladies can't refuse
    You love 'em then you leave 'em
    With your sold out reviews

    No More, No More
    No More, No More

    Sweet talkin' barroom, ladies' disease
    Slippin' with her lips
    Slidin' down your knees

    No More, No More
    No More, No More
    No More, No More

    Baby I'm a screamer
    Bound to a wife in marriage
    Baby, I'm a dreamer
    Found my horse and carriage

    Ladies hold the aces
    And their lovers call it passion
    The men call it pleasure
    But to me it's old fashioned

    Times they're a changin
    Nothin' ever stands still
    If I don't stop changin'
    I'll be writin' out my will

    It's the same old story
    Never get a second chance
    For a dance to the top of the hill

    Baby I'm a dreamer
    Found my horse and carriage

    Round and Round

    If you believe in me
    Like I believe in you
    You wouldn't be tellin' me things
    That weren't exactly true

    Now everything changes
    Ain't got nothing to say
    I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
    I can't remember my name

    'Cause the life I've been livin'
    And the love I've been givin'
    Will be sure to send you spinnin'
    With your feet never touching the ground
    Goin' round n' round

    When it was one for all
    And it was all for one
    And everything that we did
    Never bothered anyone

    Now everything changes
    Ain't nothing the same
    I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
    I can't remember my name

    'Cause the life I've been livin'
    And the love I've been givin'
    Will be sure to send you spinnin'
    With your feet never touching the ground
    Goin' round n' round

    Can you remember the days
    When you were sweet sixteen
    And always followed the ways
    Of someone elses dream

    (Look here)
    Now everything changes
    Ain't nothing the same
    I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
    I can't remember my name

    Goin' round n' round n' round n' round....

    Honey, what's the words that I said
    Honey, what you done to your head
    Honey, what's the words that I said
