Well I been breakin' rocks up on coolie #3I know it's been forever, thought you'd never hear fromeThe weather up here is rotten, rainin' granite all the timeAnd both moons are glowin' purple and there is no sun to shineI been diggin' deep down in a tunnel that goes twenty miles downAnd I know my life is cheap when I hear that rumbln' soundCHORUSOh the overlordsGot me workin' overtimeOh the overlordsThey never make it rhymeAnd there is something in the air that is burnin' in my throatA big black cloud is passin' droppin' acid on my coatThe overlords got me workin' overtimeCHORUSIt's been ten years and a day after world war nineThey pushed us to make meaning and from their meaning was our crimeLast night I had a dream where the guards all fell asleepI jumped the fence outside this pen and then I hotwired upThe warden's JeepAnd I took a walkCHORUSI still rmember all those nights we had together up on MarsWe both stood in line t get some new tattoosWhile the kids got cut some scarsAnd when they check the beds tonight,They'll find a note scratched in the pineYou now can seek me underground where' I7ll be monkey-wrenchin' all the timeCHORUS>From a planet out in spaceA signal you could traceControllin' what you feel but you never see their faceOh the overlords, got me workin' overtime--------------------------------------------------------------------------Lost Weekend(Wall of Voodoo)Performed by Wall of VoodooDriving out of Vegas in their automobileShe was in the backseat while he was at the wheelWith the windows wide openAll the money frome store they'd gambled awayHe said, the best laid plans often go astray.She took the page fromher book and turned it downShe lit a cigaretteShe didn't make a soundAnd I know if we'd had just one more chance, he said,I know-we'd finally hit the big one at last, she saidCHORUSInstead of another lost weekendLost weekendAnother lost weekendLost weekendPull over soon, she said, it's no big deal, you can take any exit thatyou happen to f feel is the right one. The right one.Aas she slowly blew her somke out the rear wind ventShe thought back on all the letters she'd sentFor a contest to be on a quiz game showMaybe I shoulda stayed in school, he said.Yeah, I know-start your own business cleaning swimming pools, she saidCHORUSShe leaned forward over the front seatAnd twiddled with the radio dialShe looked out the windowSw a sign and both of them began to smileThere's a place we could stay at...it's up another mile.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Stan Ridgway The Overlords
