There is a wolf in California Who is going to send me a dollar bill I will save it under my pillow in order to take a trip I will go to Hawaii flying on an aeroplane I will dance to beautiful music to impress all my friends Now there is mother in a kitchen With a frown upon her face She is washing all of the dishes And wishing to erase all of the lines and the wrinkles And so she says to herself If this liquid will soften my hands I wonder what it will do for my face? Chorus Everyone wants shiny things Shiny things, things that shine! Everyone wants special things Special things, things that are special There is a prince in a castle Who is going to ask you to dance And you will wear a gorgeous outfit And party with my friends And you will live in a tower never to leave your room And all your glass shoes will fit you perfectly reflecting the light off your face Chorus twice Everyone wants gorgeous things, expensive things, lovely things Everyone wants fabulous things, beautiful things, everyone else’s things

I won’t waste my time on Batman he is stuck on Robin anyway And I won’t waste my time with Aquaman He’s in love with a dolphin just the same I won’t spend my time chasing Spiderman he gets tangled up in all those webs I won’t bother with the Wonder Twins Threesomes bring so much pain! Chorus I want to kiss Superman In his red cape I want to kiss Superman and feel his super human strength I want to kiss Superman In a telephone booth I want to kiss Superman I won’t waste my time With the Incredible Hulk He never says anything anyway I won’t waste my time With Wonder Woman who wants to go that way

This Ouija board spells your name, and it does it correctly This crystal ball shows your face, the white of your eyes The message in my fortune cookie tells me you shall return The flowers in that vase over there, are in your memory Chorus Keep the temperature freezing (I want to go to Disney world!) Keep the memory from leaving (I want to go to Disney land!) Keep the enchantment breathing (Take me to the Magic Kingdom!) This medium talks to you, from another dimension The gypsy lady with silver in her palm, speaks of your future Chorus Will there be ice cream and Ted Williams too? Forever frozen with Disney Chorus

Te odio 02:29
No quiero hablarte, es un gasto de tiempo No me interesa verte, es peor El silencio ardiente, el dolor tan grande son lo que tenemos entre nosotros Es mejor que te vayas sin mi dinero y mis cigarillos Coro Ojalá que sigas llorando... Te odio Ojalá que andes buscando... Te odio Ojalá que estés muriendo del mismo dolor que me has dado Tener la venganza es mejor que celebrar la Navidad Cuando me hables, no te escucharé nunca Estoy harto de todo, adiós Coro

Fresh as a flower could be a nice little gift of spirituality Every girl wants to explore A metaphysical fantasy touch me through the crystal ball Charming as a prince might be a special treat of afterlife imagery Every boy wants to adore A supernatural beauty hold me down from the other side Chorus No one can take away my apparition It’s a love that will take me far There is nothing like my possession I know right where you are my beautiful ghost in a jar and jealous will be my friends Heaven is right here in my living room Heaven is is in my house I bid the most on ebay and now I have a ghost Chorus You are jealous! You must be my friend! I know right where you are my beautiful ghost in a jar!

Ooh through the trees, by the river and the lake Can you not see? Ooh through the fields, by the pond and the swamp Can you not see? Thousands of spirits of the Wampanoags From before out by Assawompsett Dancing in the trees Ooh through the night, in the sky and by the moon Can you not see?

Leaving Tracks all over the Pacific Northwest But you can't see, you can't see Coming out when everyone has gone But, you can't see, you can't see He just says I want to be left alone all alone leave (leave) me (me) alone! It could be real? It could be false? It could be real? It could be false? But, you can't see, you can't see He just says I want to be left alone all alone leave (leave) me (me) alone! He just says I want to be left alone All alone, All alone, (leave) me (me) alone!

There´s a nuclear bomb (I’ll be under the couch!) Frankenstein’s Monster! (I’ll be under the couch!) 1,000 zombies? (I’ll be under the couch!) What are those sounds? (I’ll be under the couch!) A spider on the ceiling (I’ll be under the couch!) Dracula’s pointy teeth (I’ll be under the couch!) A monster with 500 eyes! (I’ll be under the couch!) Chorus Where will you find me? That’s where I will be Look for me under the furniture laughing It’s May 21st (I’ll be under the couch!) A witch in the broom closet (I’ll be under the couch!) One hundred mummies (I’ll be under the couch!) What is that growling? (I’ll be under the couch!) Chorus 2X

Nous passerons les jours en plein champ Sous un arbre, au milieu des fleurs Toutes les choses d’amour Avec toi mon couer, avec toi Nous passerons les nuits dans la rue Sous la lune, au milieu des etoiles Toutes les choses d’amour Avec toi mon couer, avec toi Chorus Ce n’est pas terminé, ce n’est pas fini Ce n’est pas allé sans toi Nous passerons la vie en bleu Sous le ciel, au milieu des anges Toutes les choses d’amour Avec toi mon couer, avec toi Chorus

I feel like one of those psychics, you know the kind that you call up and ask for the winning lottery number, but somehow I can never seem to those numbers out for myself And if God is so good, why do all of the inmates always find him in jail? I mean can he not get himself out with some sort of magic trick? Recently, an uncle of mine passed away. Now I had not seen him for a long time, but I walked into the funeral parlor and he had changed so much. I mean apart from him being dead, I looked at him and thought “Hmm… I did not know he was a cross dresser?” Wait “I was unaware he had gender reassignment or had changed his name to Phyllis Carter!” and then by judging on the fact that everyone was dressed too nicely to be one of my relatives! It occurred to me that I was at the wrong place. Oh I had a dream once where I was stuck in an elevator with the singer Bjork and Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld But I cannot remember which one was wearing the Swan Dress! I feel like one of those psychics, you know the kind that you call up and ask for the winning lottery number, but somehow I can never seem to pick those numbers out for myself
