Lyrics:
Yellow haired woman good for nothing empty headed
Most lovely creature that I've seen
With lips that kiss with such a firy stain
Many times I've dreamed of leaving my life behind knowin' all the while
I'm a victim of the smile of this yellow haired woman
[ guitar + harmonica ]
Yellow woman flows across this rich satin bed
Magnificed of perfect feature leaving nothing left unsaid
As I listen to her breathing suddenly I find no escape I'm weary kind
Who sets it up my mind it's this yellow haired woman
[ guitar + harmonica ]
Many times I've dreamed of leaving my life behind knowin' all the while
I'm a victim of the smile of this yellow haired woman
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet
The bones of our elders were lying in the street
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown
I barely cried, wherever I'd ride I'd never find a home
Woe on me, somehow I will feel more free
To wallow in the empty-headed peace
Where the plain-hearted sorrows never cease
Well I am just a ramshackle, I go from town to town
When there is no shelter, I lay down on the ground
I killed for no reason, I pissed upon the vine
Cussed and moaned and burned the bone when I had the time
Woe on me, somehow I will feel more free
To wallow in the empty-headed peace
Where the plain-hearted sorrows never cease
There's saints and there is animals, they've taken what they could
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should
They stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb
Like the fashion with no passion, they opened up their skin
Woe on me, somehow I will feel more free
To wallow in the empty-headed peace
Where the plain-hearted sorrows never cease
He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at everything he hates
He calls to you hey look out son
That's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face
And the heads they are rolling
For the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
Five hundred little women are calling at their hero's door
Yes their hero's working overtime
He's squirming on an empty floor
And the heads they are rolling
For the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
He's brought the castle on the hill
He's brought it just to knock it down
The local power shout him down
They say he's just an empty headed clown
And the heads they are rolling
For the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
He's busy building monuments
To hide inside his empty grave
You there can you find some friend
He's looking for some people to save
And the heads they are rolling
For the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
And the words of love are killing him
And the conqueror is on his way
And the words of love were lying on an empty floor
Just in the place where the conqueror lay
Now look her my good man..
I dont wanna talk to you no more you empty headed animal foot
trough water! I'll fart in your general direction! Your mother was a
hamster and you father smelt of eldiberry!!!!
GUARD: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed
animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! You
mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
My dreams are low
They're sick and must be drossed
They're young girl's dreams
True, some do it and shoot
Like the penny-lit stars
What I was just rude
Like the scary hairs on our singing hooves
Like the scary hairs on our singing hooves
They move
A family fool, but it's you
I can swoon inside me
Then you'll accept my things
A colored star, but I feel strong
Luck when bound lonely to Lars
When I'm empty headed
See'n saw bounce me back to you? Will you?
See'n saw bounce me back to you? Will you?
I was jumping the jungles, there was nothing to find
No mastodons, so that I could be the guy that provides
With empty hands, I headed on home
Live long enough you gonna choke on a bone
Hey hey
Hey hey
That's just the way that it goes
Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Oh, in my head
You said with certainty
I may be the dumbest person that you've ever seen
You think you're hurtin' me
Bet you won't believe it, but you kinda set me free
You've mentioned Adderall
Slip this guy a sedative, he's bouncin' off the wall
Honey, it's no big deal
We'll get you back to college, you could study somethin' real
So if that's how you feel
When we go down
When kingdom come
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'm just too dumb
I'd love to stay (love to stay)
But like you said (like you said)
Don't look at me
'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
Oh, in my head
Too dumb for breakin' up
I'd do it in person, but I'd probably mess it up
I'll text you, "That's enough"
That's how empty-headed people get through shitty stuff
Your world is endin' soon
Mine's a little better 'cause I never watch the news
You make my lunch today
I would do it, but I couldn't work my microwave
So if that's what you're sayin'
When we go down
When kingdom come
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'm just too dumb
I'd love to stay (love to stay)
But like you said (like you said)
Don't look at me
'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
Oh, in my head
You should not have done that
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
When we go down (we go down)
When kingdom come (kingdom come)
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'm much too dumb
I'd love to stay (love to stay)
But like you said (like you said)
Don't look at me
'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
Oh, in my head
Oh, in my head
When we go down
When kingdom come
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'm just too dumb
Deep down schemin' how to kill 'em
Misleadin' a bit, although proceedin' a hit
I made 'em feel I'd never jeopardize my freedom for shit
Played the empty-headed part
Though the moment they dreaded start, neat
Back of the head and took the credit card
Seem properly deceased
Made it look like an everyday robbery to police
And I's out
Police believed a thief pop for sureity, a jerky
Alert the rest to beef up security
And not to get flashy, although another blast occurred
Another brother deservin' to get massacred
Pleasure in poppin' that flea
Should a heard mister tough guy coppin' mad pleas
Not insane, nor am I biased
Though feels good to watch a motherfucker die before my fly ass
Ain't nuttin' to blast, fuck it
Then I put some crack vials in the ass pocket and was off
Police said a thug awaited, since I didn't leave no evidence
A drug related incident
I still clock the mil' figures, cock back triggers
Reason why your girlfriends dig us, 'cause I kill niggas
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy
Well I had it up to here, that's why a brother buckin' trife
And gettin' way with murder, this the motherfucking life
At a jam, nine figure on shelf
While an army of niggas snickering among self, thieves
Who always want to clock the bread of the next
That's why I'm going to blow their fucking head off
Me be the victor, get stuck up
Giving these clowns opportunity to fuck up
They're knowin' that the kid crew showers, eye cowers
And leaves for 'bout a good two hours
While they're like, "we coulda caught Rick," what?
Through my hair I'm still picking the hulls
Of Europe rained down in scattered handfuls
Their seed-meat shriveled to a hollow rattling
Striking this already ringing land
Resonance choked by pale tendrils shooting off
From long lost roots once locked in nature
The stubbled senses ingrown now where crusader blades shore
And donned them empty-headed beneath the bishop's cap
Shameless scratching at the uncombed earth
Raking the godhead righteous
Silence in their wake
Silence in straight lines hanging from settler heads
Straight silence gathered, braided together, in tails
Pony, pig and whip, straight through the rumbling frequencies
Of boat bowels and cramped cabins
The species underneath each scalp identical after all
Night-tone mother and her light newborn
Curling each other flat and tight into our tangled sound
Muted howl
Song of blue flame
The brilliant headed silhouettes
Scuffling candles through a nation's lightless dawn
Kindling fires, mass I must wake to
Fire for hot irons, pressing big-house finery wearable
Fire for railroad signals, fire in branded skin
Skin like bronze hair like lamb wool
Divisible under God
Who's image have we been made in?
Do you hear that, water will melt her?
People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything
Fiyero! Oh, yes, thanks plenty, dearest!
He's gone to fetch me a refreshment
He's so thoughtful that way
That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well, not "simply"
'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little, well, complicated
There's a kind of a sort of, cost
There's a couple of things get, lost
There are bridges you cross you didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still
With this perfect finale
The cheers and ballyhoo
Who
Wouldn't be happier?
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Trusting you it all adds up to nothing
Dealing with the lies it's all a part of you
Promises that should have come to something
But I don't need your empty-headed attitude
Changes... changes
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes ,changes
Repeat again
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Changes, changes
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes
Repeat again
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Changes... changes...
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Trusting you it all adds up to nothing
Dealing with the lies it's all a part of you
Promises that should have come to something
But I don't need your empty-headed attitude
Changes... changes
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes ,changes
Repeat again
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Changes, changes
Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes
Repeat again
You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Changes... changes...
I seen Mick's body on the floor covered in sheets
And a note that says I'm a dead man walkin'
An empty soul just headed for the coffin
This is crazy, they took my brother, they must be clueless
I'ma get that mothafucka, I'm ruthless
Relentless, [?]
Sundogs barkin', barkin' round my dreams
Three ring circus rockin' round the sun
The taste of fire and Julia's name
Right there on the tip of my tongue
I was on the mountain
And the sun was goin' down
All I's wishin' for was Julia
I kissed her on the mouth, I looked her in the eye
I's actin' half my age and feelin' way too proud
I drove into the desert, I drove up to the sky
I parked it and I left it just a hangin' on a cloud
I was on the mountain
The first star was shinin' down
All I's wishin' for was Julia
Night wind blows
Stars above the blue
Heaven knows
Only love will do
Now what's a few miles between the beauty and the beast
What's it mean when angels keep flying by above
Storm clouds gatherin' round the full moon in the east
I was empty-headed but my heart was full of love
I was on the mountain
Lightnin' all around
All I's lookin' for was Julia
The more you need her help the more she let's you down
The more you like the way she walks the more she shakes her hips
The more you fall in love with life the more she runs around
The more you fear the kiss of death the more she licks her lips
I was on the mountain
There was thunder rumblin' down
All I's listenin' for was JUlia
Night wind blows
Stars above the blue
Heaven knows
Only love will do
I was on the mountain
I was never comin' down
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
The time has come, the Walrus said
Talk of many things
Ship and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
Life a the greatest gift given to humanity
Surround yourself with a lot a positive energy
Yuh can buy it even if yuh have whole heap a money
And das why we spread love inna the community
Yuh coulda be small man or a celebrity
Yuh coulda live uptown or di inna city
Wi need a world full peace and serenity
Sting come sing out fi everybody
The time has come, as Shaggy said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
The planets turn in retrograde
The moon seems to have fled
The world is spinning upside down
It landed on its head
Just one lifetime
And there's only one (and there is only one)
Yes there's only one (said there is only one)
Just one life to live (one life to live yeah)
Assuming that we'll make it
We've no choice but to take it (c'mon)
I'm with you, the Walrus said
We'll dress for heavy weather
Whatever's on the road ahead
We're in this now together
We thought we'd make a run for it
Not knowing where we're headed
We packed the car with both our bags
And filled her up unleaded
Just one lifetime (one lifetime)
And there's only one (and there is only one)
Yes there's only one (and there is only one)
Just one life to live (one life to live yeah)
Assuming that we'll make it
We've no choice but to take it
Come meck wi tek a page out a di book of life
Leggo negativity and do what's right
Wi no longer need fi a fuss or fight
Unite the world an show dem what's right
Dis generation a set a new trend
Replace di word enemy wid friends
Leaders a di world these rules can't bend
Dis a di message wi send to dem
The time had come, a reckoning
We all knew it was coming
We headed North on empty roads
The engine gently humming
The Walrus smoked a cigarette
He claimed it was his last
No signs of life, no gas, no food
In all the empty towns we passed
For all we have is me and you
It has to be enough
I've got your back and you've got mine
If the going it gets rough
Just one lifetime (one life to live yeah)
And there's only one (and there is only one)
Yes there's only one (and there is only one)
Just one life to live (one one one one life to live now)
Assuming that we'll make it (yeah)
We've no choice but to take it
The time has come, the Walrus said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
What's this useful optimism
Empty headed kids are bad
God I'm feeling I got a hunger
I love my soul I'm satisfied
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Living on to be a sinner
Lord it's hard to be a saint
Had a sister, had a grandma
It's bad to show I can't let you in
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on
Here we come, we're coming fast
Out the upside into the past
Forced to screaming in my head
Into the future, into the future
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on
What's this useful optimism
Empty headed kids are bad
God I'm feeling I got a hunger
I love my soul I'm satisfied
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Living on to be a sinner
Lord it's hard to be a saint
Had a sister, had a grandma
It's bad to show I can't let you in
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on
Here we come, we're coming fast
Out the upside into the past
Forced to screaming in my head
Into the future, into the future
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator

I was born in Birmingham
But soon I would escape
With education incomplete
But two songs on a tape
When my girlfriend was expelled
We took the London coach
Her sister gave her daffodils
Her mother an old brooch
And she smiled
And she smiled and she smiled
She was so beautiful, 17
She was so beautiful, 17
We didn't have much money then
No Hi-Fi or TV
So, we made love, I'd sing her songs
And she would read to me
But we were young
I didn't know what love was all about
And when I slept with her best friend
Of course she threw me out
And we cried
And we cried and we cried
She was so beautiful, 17
She was so beautiful, 17
I was looking for a deal
Looking for a hit
The affectations of success
The airs that goes with it
While she was looking for a man
Who didn't need a maid
She modeled for an agency
Who made sure she got paid
And she smiled
And she smiled and she smiled
She was so beautiful, 17
She was so beautiful, 17
She was so beautiful, 17
I was an empty headed libertine
17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17
Everyday they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where
On they go through private pain
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides their silent cries
Only Jesus hears
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
When will we realize people need the Lord?
Take your empty headed stare
Give it to the Stars
Take your lean 'n hungry love
Take your lonely Heart
And Give it to someone
Who's got time to care
I don't think that you'll go under
You're just tryin' to raise some thunder
[Chorus]
Ain't Got No Time for Trouble
I got plenty of my own
Ain't got no time for trouble
I got plenty of my own
Ain't got no time for trouble
All ya do is sit and moan
Ain't got no time for trouble
I got plenty of my own
I'm so busy drownin'
There is no way
I could boy (pull) you up
I'm so busy drownin'
There is no way
I could boy you up
I don't think that you'll go under
You're just tryin' to raise some thunder
[Chorus]
No Time for Trouble
You're makin' whips, makin whips for your own back,
makin' whips, makin' whips you're gonna' crack,
makin' whips, makin whips.
Your empty headed dreams,
just like an old smoke screen.
You stand behind your spite,
don't know what's wrong or right.
You woke from a dream of a blank page,
Unwritten story of six years sleeping.
Clear-headed or empty-headed,
It was a secret that would bear keeping.
Looking for a star to wish upon,
Ready to be used until you're gone.
This planet burns and you couldn't really care
That your head (unlike the Earth) is full of air
If there's anybody in there - time has come to face the real world
[Chorus]
They're walking tall yet heading nowhere
Shouting loud but saying nothing
So empty-headed, hollow hearted
Tell me how this farce got started
If there's anybody in there, time has come to face the real world.
