Sneaking away for a while Leaving the rank and the file Down to the fishing hole where I'll relax But when I return the boss gives me the axe Chorus: I finally got caught with my hand in the jar I won't get too far this time Sal is a gal who's on fire She makes me burn with desire But someone was watching and it was my wife Now I'm in the doghouse the rest of my life (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: And I don't know what I'm going to do Guess I've got to see it through And I don't know what I'm going to do Don't let it happen to you
Well, I feel like I'm breaking outside of my head My brain waves are jammed with residual lead Low on sleep, I ain't eaten in days And I haven't been home in a while I'm always going around in a haze Chorus: And I've got no time to think Too busy running all the time I can't slow it down 'cause I'm too speeded up There's so much to do and it never lets up Work all day, then stay out late Living on vitamin pills This cycle seems to be my fate Chorus: And I've got no time to think Too busy running all the time I'm sure getting tired of working too hard I think I'll quit and be a rock-n-roll star No more deadlines or briefings at eight Just do whatever I please And I won't have to worry about being late Chorus: 'Cause I'm having fun all day With no apologies
People say that life's a game now But I've learned to hedge my bets Because I'm headed for fame now And this cannot be as good as it gets Something better's going to turn up soon, and this I know And when it does, well then I'll know just where to go People say that I'm okay now But they don't expect me to be Much more than I am today now Well, we'll just have to wait and see A wind of change is blowing in the air, and I can feel This premonition is portending something real Chorus: You've got to let your (hey hey) Let your (hey hey), let your (hey hey) You've got to let your feet hang down in the pool of life Someday when I'm rich and famous I'll be lounging by my pool While some round sexy dame is Bringing me something tall and cool And then suddenly an old friend from the past appears And he's astounded 'cause he ain't seen me in years
Come with us now, succumb to our will Abandon your pleasures for close order drill Don't be a scofflaw, you see we mean well Though sometimes it's hard to tell Chorus: And victims of the accident Are making known their discontent Lashing out, though their time is fleeting I said, where is the future? Can it be coming? And should we face it or just keep on running He looked to the sky, and I closed my eyes I had to admire his cunning Chorus: But now the boy is lost to me Absorbed in his tetralogy Futile wars, even now receding Chorus: And his blind astrology Will preserve our equanimity Saving us from a fate unholyChords

You wake up in the night, screaming with fright
Can't kill the demons so you snap on the light
But you know it's no use 'cause they don't go away
Your nightmare lives in the light of day
Chorus:
Nightmares, coming aliveHeavy metal monster is after you
Chased by ghosts and stabbed with knives
Nightmares, breaking the chains
That hold you prisoner inside your nightmares
Chorus:
Nightmares, they're frighteningChords:
You only care for me inside your
Nightmares, they excite you
You live your secret fears inside your nightmares
When your song makes it to number one
You'll be out there in the California sun
But don't forget who put you where you are
It's all the fans that helped make you a star
After several years you may have found
That constant touring seems to get you down
But you know it's what you love to do
You've become one of the chosen few
Chorus:
Of the new sensation, the fascination
The supersonic star
You know, I think you really could go far
Everyone says that I'm all out of synch
Because I have all these thoughts that I'm not supposed to think
My head is all buzzed, but I don't even drink
The doctor is telling me, go see a shrink
Chorus:
But I like it this way, I think I'm okay
And I'm not losing my mind
I just see things a different way
Living in 7/8 time
I'm quiet at parties when people are yapping
My toes ought to tap, but my fingers are snapping
Before the punch line, I'm already laughing
I always leave just when things start to happen
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
And I can't get used to the regular way
I can't get used to the regular way
I can't get used to the regular way
The regular way, the regular way
Seven eight, seven eight!
Under the bridge I want to give it a go
When you refuse we get into a row
I start to leave, but you're telling me no
You want to fly off to Acapulco
(repeat chorus)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)
One two three four five six seven eight...
Chorus: I'm going to wish for these days
Beautiful hazy lazy days
Sharp turn and banking tight
Wheels reflecting in the light
Steep hill and rising fast
Got to make this moment last
Nothing is getting done
While I'm out here in the sun
Is that how it should be
Who is going to wait for me?
She's got a plastic face with no sense of taste And she doesn't make a stunning impression She's got an aerial view of the world that she knew And it's giving her manic depression Chorus: I just can't decide I guess I don't know how But if it's alright I'll take that for now We go out on the town and it's bringing me down 'Cause she winks to get his attention Now she's bending the rules and she'd better be cool "Cause she'll wind up in the house of detention
Well, I do what I can to go out and get suntanned Or anything that I can imagine 'Cause I'm unaware and I just don't care And you could say it's just my fashion
