Fountains of Wayne. Fountains of Wayne.




1. Radiation vibe.

Are you alone now, did you lose the monkey, he gave you backaches and now you slouch. He didn't mean it, he's just a dumb ape, reading Playboy on your couch. And now it's time to say what I forgot to say, baby baby baby, come on, what's wrong, it's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on, don't it make you want to get some sun, shine on, shine on, shine on.

I went to Pittsburgh and joined a pro team, talk about a bad dream, I broke a knee, but I can still croon and make the girls swoon, isn't that the way life's supposed to be. And now it's time to say what I forgot to say, baby baby baby, come on, what's wrong, it's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on, don't it make you want to get some sun, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on.

And now it's time to say what I forgot to say, baby baby baby, come on, what's wrong, it's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on, don't it make you want to get some sun, shine on, shine on, shine on, baby baby baby, come on, what's wrong, it's a radiation vibe I'm groovin on, don't it make you want to get some sun, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on.


2. Sink to the Bottom

I wanna sink to the bottom with you, I wanna sink to the bottom with you, the ocean is big and blue, I just wanna sink to the bottom with you. Cars on the highway, planes in the air, everyone else is going somewhere but I'm going nowhere, getting there soon, I might as well just sink down with you.

I wanna sink to the bottom with you, I wanna sink to the bottom with you, the ocean is big and blue, I just wanna sink to the bottom with you. Out on the highway, up in the air, everyone else is going somewhere, they're going nowhere, and I'll be there too, I might as well go under with you.

I wanna sink to the bottom with you, I wanna sink to the bottom with you, the ocean is big and blue, I just wanna sink to the bottom with you...


3. Joe Rey.

Joe Rey came from Spain across the ocean in frozen rain and he loves point, point, pointing the finger, Joe Rey stoned all day, two hairdressers and a Chevrolet for awhile, I think Joe Rey's gonna linger. Joe Rey, he's not so pretty, I can't understand why he's so in demand, he stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes.

Joe Rey smokes at three, barks like a pigeon and watches tv, he's cool, cool, cool, cooler than I am, he knows what I don't know, got seventeen different words for snow that he signs, signs to a deaf girl named Diane. Joe Rey, he's not so pretty, I can't understand why he's so in demand, he stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes.

Joe Rey, he's not so pretty, I can't understand why he's so in demand, he stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes. Joe Rey came from Spain across the ocean in frozen rain, and he loves point, point, pointing the finger, Joe Rey loves point, point, pointing the finger, Joe Rey he loves point, point, pointing the finger, Joe Rey he loves point, point, pointing the finger.


4. She's got a problem.

I know a girl who should never be alone, I know a girl who should never be alone, she's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health, she's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb.

I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on, I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on, everytime she goes outisde she barely gets home alive, she's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb. Oh yeah, and I can see the signs, oh yeah, cause she's only killing time, oh yeah, and she's not long for this world.

She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health, she's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb.


5. Survival car.

Don't you wanna ride in my survival car, we can take the long way home through Central Park, funny how the ground can find my wheels, I'm going where the road ain't there, and only riding on the path we made to Union Square.

Doing like the young folks do in west coast towns, plowing like a banshee through the overground, funny how the ground can find my wheels, I'm going where the road won't dare, and only riding on the path we made to Union Square.

Everybody hit the ground, I think I might have missed my calling, everybody turn around, the light's about to change, you better stand aside, why you wanna walk, don't you want to ride, ride, ride, ride.

Don't you wanna ride in my survival car, we can take the long way home. Funny how the ground can find my wheels, I'm going where the road ain't there, and only riding on the path we made to Union Square, and only riding on the path we made, riding on the path we made, riding on the path we made to Union Square.

Don't you wanna ride in my survival car, we can take the long way home.


6. Barbara H.

For a small girl, Barbara sure has got a big crush, the kind that makes you want to break stuff and blame it on a man you don't know, she came down to New York City in a big bus, nine hours driving and you can't just stay home, so it doesn't matter which way you go. And all day the radio's been playing the same song, can't shake that tune but it's ok, maybe the world isn't so small, Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all.

And each day Barbara wakes up in a bad way, tells me quietly she has absolutely nothing to say, but I don't seem to mind, she says, she won't listen to the band play, she hates songs that never seem to go away, now neither will mine. And all day the radio's been playing the same song, can't shake that tune but it's ok, maybe the world isn't so small, Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all.

And all day the radio's been playing the same song, can't shake that tune but it's ok, maybe the world isn't so small, Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all, Barbara knows, Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all.


7. Sick day.

Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel, crawling to work six feet under and the day has barely begun, they're all chewing gum and laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station, lead us not into Penn Station, ‘cause the best part's just begun, we're all becoming one again.

And she's making the scene with the coffee and cream, and the copy machine's not working, she's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world and she likes to say, hey good looking, she's on her way, she's taking a sick day soon.

And here is the man pushing paper past her, thinks up ways to make the day go faster, but the day goes on and on, he dreams of his lawn. And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over, the fat secretary, the lunchtime lover, ‘till the path train finally comes, the platform's full of bums again.

And she's making the scene with the coffee and cream, and the copy machine's not working, she's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world and she likes to say, hey good looking, she's on her way, she's taking a sick day soon.

And she's taking her time as she's tossing a dime at the man in the cardboard coffin, it doesn't have to be fine, she's ahead of the line and doesn't have to be here too often, she's making a play, she's taking a sick day soon.


8. I've got a flair.

I've got a flair for pulling your hair and making you crazy, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's something I do well, I've got a flair for making you care, you know you should hate me, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's something I do well.

Well you know I never meant to hurt no one but I got a knack for getting things undone, and I got a way of ruining your fun all the time. I've got a flair for holding a stare and holding you down, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's something I can tell.

Well you know I never meant to hurt no one but I got a knack for getting things undone and I got a way of ruining your fun all the time.

I've got a flair for getting in your hair and making you crazy, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's something I do well, it's something I do well, it's something I do well, it's something I do well, it's something I do well, it's something I do well.


9. Leave the biker.

Seems the further from town I go the more I hate this place, he's got leather and big tattoos, scars all over his face, and I wonder if he ever has cried ‘cause he couldn't get a date for the prom. He's got his arms around every man's dream and crumbs in his beard from the seafood special, oh, can't you see my world is falling apart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart.

Now his friend leans over and says, looks like we got us a fag, I wonder if that guy's read one word that wasn't in a porno mag, and I wonder if he ever has cried ‘cause his kitten got run over and died. He's got his arms around every man's dream and crumbs in his beard from the seafood special, oh, can't you see my world is falling apart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart.

And I wonder if he ever has cried ‘cause he couldn't get a date for the prom, he's got his arms around every man's dream and crumbs in his beard from the seafood special, oh, can't you see my world is falling apart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart, baby, please leave the biker, leave the biker, break his heart.


10. You curse at girls.

They say you curse at girls, don't you know it isn't right, you could get yourself in trouble, you've been living in a different world, looking for another fight, sifting through emotional rubble. Hey boy, don't you get it, one day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone, hey boy, you can bet it, you'll be blue. Each time you curse at girls you curse a little at yourself, don't you know a girl gets angry.

Hey boy, don't you get it, one day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone, hey boy, you can bet it, you'll be blue. They say you curse at girls, don't you know it isn't right.


11. Please don't rock me tonight.

I was ready when the big day came, my shoes were good and polished and you know how bad I wished I had somebody special to blame, but you know I never care to lay a blame on for my hairdo, you know it isn't easy to do when the DJ isn't humming, a part of me suffers too. Please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, I'm not in the mood.

I didn't mean to make the trendy guy mad but the feeling I'm immersed in now can only turn a good party bad, somehow, somehow, you know it isn't easy to do when the DJ isn't humming, a part of me suffers too. Please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, I'm not in the mood, I'm not in the mood.

And you know it isn't easy to do when the DJ isn't humming, a part of me suffers too. Please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, please don't rock me tonight, I'm not in the mood, I'm not in the mood. Please don't rock me tonight, I'm not in the mood…


12. Everything's ruined.

Slow down, there's gonna be trouble, you're gonna forget what you're doing, one false move, baby, suddenly everything's ruined. Hold on, you're gonna be sorry, you're gonna regret what you're doing, one false move, baby, suddenly everything's ruined.

And you ought to know, you ought to know there's only one way this can go, you ought to know, you ought to know all of the ups and downs, the highs and lows.

Slow down, there's gonna be trouble, you're gonna forget what you're doing, one false move, baby, suddenly everything's ruined, one false move, baby, suddenly everything's ruined.
