Telephone Answering Machine Song
Well ...
ain't home right now
He can't
come to the phone
So leave
your name and number
When you
hear that lonesome tone
He'd gladly
talk to you right now
I'd like to
guarantee
But I can't
speak on his behalf
Since I'm
not really he

I got to
see you, baby, I don't care
I've got to
meet you honey, I don't care where
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
I saw you
in a dream, I began to shout
You were
sitting in a tub with the water running out
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
I was
driving down the highway, you flagged me down
You said "Take
me Daddy, to the nearest town"
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
You kissed
me, baby, in the coffee shop
Makes me
nervous, I wish you'd stop
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
You've got
that crazy rhythm in the way you walk
I get a
crazy feeling when you start to talk
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
Come to see
me, baby, tell your driver to wait
There's
just a few little things that we've got to get straight
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.
You were wearin'
a blue scarf, baby, that was coverin' you head
You're
wearin' a long dress, baby, fire engine red
I had a
dream about you baby, a dream about you baby
Late last
night you came rollin' across my mind.

Talking
about fear, hate, envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world
I'm talking
about fear, hate, envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world.
You know
the wicked have sold their souls for gold
And
everybody knows their wealth is in the sky
And the
very, very, very sad part about it all
There ain't
nothing that nobody gonna survive.
I'm talking
about fear, hate, envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world.
I'm talking
about fear, hate, envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world.
Don't push
the button, yeah, of envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world.
I'm talking
about fear, hate, envy and jealousy
It's like a
fire, all over the world.
Don't push
that
Don't push
the button, y'all
Don't push
it
Don't push
the button, y'all
You make
the world go boom
Make the
world go boom, boom
You make
the world go boom
Make the world
go boom, boom

You got me
in a corner
You got me
against the wall
I got
nowhere to go
I got
nowhere to fall
Take back
your insurance
Baby,
nothin's guaranteed
Take back
your acid rain
Let your
T.V. bleed
You're
jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit
jammin' me
Baby, you
can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk
away, but it's not over
Take back
your angry slander
Take back
your pension plan
Take back
your ups and your downs of your life
In
raisin-land
Take back
Vanessa Redgrave
Take back
Joe Piscopo
Take back
Eddie Murphy
Give 'em
all some place to go
You're
jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit
jammin' me
Baby, you
can keep me painted in a corner
You can
walk away, but it's not over
Take back
your Iranian torture
And the
apple in young Steve's eye
Yeah, take
back your losing streak
Check your
front wheel drive
Take back
Pasadena
Take back
El Salvador
Take back
that country club
They're
tryin' to build outside my door
You're
jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit
jammin' me
Baby, you
can keep me painted in a corner
You can
walk away, but it's not over

(Bob Dylan & Bono Hewson)
Love rescue
me
Come forth
and speak to me
Raise me up
and don't let me fall
No man is
my enemy
My own
hands imprison me
Love rescue
me
Many
strangers have I met
On the road
to my regret
Many lost
who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me
to reveal
The very
thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue
me
And the sun
in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching
out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here
without a name in the palace of my shame
Love rescue
me
In the cold
mirror of a glass
I see my
reflection pass
I see the
dark shades of what I used to be
I see the purple
of her eyes
The scarlet
of my lies
Love rescue
me
And the sun
in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching
out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm hanging
by my thumbs
I'm ready
for whatever comes
Love rescue
me
Yea though
I walk through the valley of the shadow
Yet I will
fear no evil
I have
cursed thy rod and staff
They no
longer comfort me
Love rescue
me
I've
conquered my past
The future
is here at last
I stand on
the entrance
To a new
world I can see
The ruins
to the right of me
Will soon have
lost sight of me
Love rescue
me
