Build me up to the top
Fill me up to the top
And my heart breaks, but scared of alone
And I'm half brave, but scared of alone
Tic-Tacs hanging from poles.
Dead cats hanging from poles.
She has a halo.
We really don't know how
Well, she has a halo
Can you touch her heart
She has a halo
We really do adore her
for she has a halo
Can we touch her
She hasn't had enough
She really didn't try hard
for she hasn't had enough
endless sunshine
For she has a halo
we really do adore her
for she has a halo
can we touch her
Hanging by a mole man
Hanging by a moment

Happy birthday, dear Harvey
Happy birthday, dear heartache
Cross my harp, I was so far gone
Lost my hope, I was so far gone

Let the axis twirl.
Let me at this world.
Let the axis twirl.

And you're all Harper Valley here on trial
And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

And she said, 'Mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.'
Have I told you lately that you're my hero?
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Someone told me long ago, they's-a call me Bozo
Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm
Til forever comes it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
Some went down like heroes and that's just the way we feel.
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field.
It's a headache tomorrow
And a heartache tonight.
It's a headache tomorrow
Or a heartache tonight.
And when the wind blew down
And when the rain came down
A couple modern day motorists, searchin' for the promised land
Couple modern day Moses', searchin' for the promised land
Hail Carolina! Hail California!
Heads, Carolina Tails, California

Thinking about what I shouldn't know
Thinking about what I should have known

Solo on a Saturday night
I'm single for the summer, I won't be down
I'm single for the summer, I won't rebound
Future mistrust
Mucho mistrust
Jewish lie
Bluish light
Looks like Blondie weren't anti-Semites after all.
You tease me like a diddler
You tease me like you do
Riding high almost to the blueish sky
Riding high on love's true blueish lie
Lead singer Deborah Harry is hard to understand in this song; she needs to enunciate
Hard on the men
Time is the best medicine there is
Heart on the mend

Well, he walked into my life, what a sad affair
Well, he walked into my life full of savoir faire

How far is Heaven?
How far is better?
How far is heaven?

Lookin' better than a buddy has a right to
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
Messing up my mind, and filling out my census.
You're messing up my mind, and filling up my senses.
Miracles again
Here you come again
You're messing up my mind, and filling out my sentences.
You're messing up my mind, and filling up my senses.

They placed a wreath upon his door
Maybe his balance ends
Maybe his callused hands

Hold on to me when I'm on the ground.
hold on to me when there's no middle ground.
