Songtext zu What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?

[Verse 1]

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed

I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream

Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen

[Chorus]

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

[Verse 2]

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines

Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth

You said that irony was the shackles of youth

[Chorus]

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene

You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth

You said that irony was the shackles of youth

[Chorus]

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

Songtext zu Strange Currencies

[Verse 1]

I don't know why you're mean to me

When I call on the telephone

And I don't know what you mean to me

But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out

I wanna take you on

[Chorus]

These words, “You will be mine”

These words, “You will be mine,” all the time

[Verse 2]

“The Fool” might be my middle name

But I'd be foolish not to say

I'm going to make whatever it takes

Bring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love

Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine

[Chorus]

These words, “You will be mine”

These words, “You will be mine,” all the time, oh

[Bridge]

I tripped and fell, did I fall

What I want to feel, I want to feel it now

[Verse 3]

And now with love come strange currencies

And here is my appeal

I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance

A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath

Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real

[Chorus]

These words, “You will be mine”

These words, “You will be mine,” all the time, oh

[Outro]

These words, “You will be mine”

These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray

Say, love's confined, oh

Songtext zu I Took Your Name

[Verse 1]

I wore the clothes you wanted

I took your name

If there is some confusion, who's to blame?

I signed your living will

I smiled your face

I'm ready to close the book on NASA in outer space

[Chorus]

If there is some confusion

Who's to blame?

[Verse 2]

I sequenced your arrival

I sealed your fate

I pushed the button and erased your master tape

I wrote the sales pitch

I threw the brake switch

I dragged your big-ass daddy Roth car out of that ditch

[Chorus]

If there is some confusion (Some confusion)

Who's to blame?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I crossed your great divide

I stirred your ocean's tide

I called your bluff until I blew your circuit's mind

I'll be your albatross

Devil, dog, Jesus, God

I don't want to be Iggy Pop, but if that's what it takes, hey

[Chorus]

If there is some confusion

If there is some confusion (Some confusion)

Who's to blame?

(Some confusion)

Who's to blame?

(Some confusion)

Who's to blame?
