Toys In The Attic

In the attic, lights
Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Leavin' the things that are real behind
But even the things that you love remind
All of the things that you learn from fears
Nothin' is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

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
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Leavin' the things that are real behind
But even the things that you love remind
All of the things that you learn from fears
Nothin' is there but the years

Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys were in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

Uncle Salty told me stories of a lonely
Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
Her 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

Well when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane

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

Now she's doin any for money and a-plenty
A sailor with a penny or two or three
Hers is the cunnin' 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

Ooh, it's a sunny day outside my window

Back when Cain was able
Way before the stable
Lighting struck right down from the sky
A mothership with faith said "Let's give it a try"

Conscience was related
Man, he was created
Lady Luck took him by surprise
Her 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

Thievin' Eve in Eden
Voices tried deceivin'
With lies to show the lady the way
At first, she stopped turned and tried to walk away

Man, he was believer
Lady was deceiver
So the story goes, but you see
A 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

Conscience was related
Man, he was created
Lady Luck took him by surprise
Her sweet and bitter fruit, it surely opened his eyes

Evil came like rain and
Who knows who's to blame and
Something tried to lay her to waste
And all she want or need was just a little taste

Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right

Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right, right, well that's right

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
"Gonna talk to you," my daddy say
Said, "You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
And you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things in lovin' with a sister and a cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing, "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
Was a me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know'd 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
Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

Schoolgirl skinny with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing, "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
Was a 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
Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

Talk about things and nobody cares
You're wearin' other things that nobody wears
You're callin' my name, but I gotta make clear
I can't say, baby, where I'll be in a year

Some sweet-talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must've got up and went
Well, I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause my backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far
You're tellin' her 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 back stage you can drink from my glass
I'm talkin' 'bout somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand

Blood stains the ivorys
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' 'part at the seams
Tea-leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreams

No more, no more
No more, no more

Holiday Inn
Lock the door with the chain
You love 'em and you hate it
But to me they're all the same

No more, no more
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 them then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviews

No more, no more
No more, no more

Sweet talkin' barroom
Ladies' disease
Stickin' with her lips
Slidin' down your knees

No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more

Ain't my life a screamer?
Bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

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

Times they are a-changin'
Nothin' ever stands still
If I stop changin'
Ill be writin' 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

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

Now all of it changes
Ain't nothin' the same
I'm gettin' the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I been givin'
Well it sure sends you spinnin'
With your feet never touchin' the ground
Spinnin' round n' round

When it was one for all
It was all for one
And now I'm playin' it with Dee
And never bothered no one
Look here!

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

'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Well it sure sends you spinnin'
With your feet never touchin' the ground
Rollin' round n' round

Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And I was following the ways
Of someone elses dreams?
Look here!

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

I'm goin' round n' round

You see me cryin'
Don't let it get you down
You see me cryin'
I'm back to the lost and found

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?

You see me cryin'
Say, "You're a ladies' man"
You see me cryin'
I'm so hard to understand

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?

You see me cryin'
Please say you'll stick around
And I've got to be your lover
Yeah, I'll take you to town
And I'll show you everything around
And I'll never ever let you down
'Cause my love is like a merry-go-round

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
