I've got a new leather umbrella It makes me feel like the handsomest fella And you know it's not for the rain Because my old umbrella just wasn't the same If you're feeling lonely Try the one and only Leather Umbrella Bat wing soup You don't need to cry again Never need to cry Leather Umbrella in the sky With wishful eyes I saw my angel But she passed me by like an evil shadow And you know it was the umbrella by my side So I threw it away and I turned and cried, she said "Leather umbrella, none of your business! Who are you anyway? Look at that thing! This is why you're lonely, why you're a nobody! Nobody understands you!"

Wig Strut 02:39
Bone teeth Here comes the army You keep a cool beak in a hot party Heaven knows which way you go And I'll bet it shows Oh I feel my own energy I hear your symphony Oh, is it meant to be Not like no other one? Wig Strut Straight through the doorway If it takes too long, well You can take the short way Everybody sees You're born to please Oh you know what they say about The things you can live without I don't have no doubt about this one Well, well Some flies they flew I can't help myself But I might help you I'm gonna tell you what I do I'm gonna kiss you baby, oh! What you say to me? Oh baby please believe I'm not like no other one

Open Wide 02:18
Open wide, see what's left Oh, it's nothing Dressed in red, so I don't care Oh, it's nothing (ahh) Still no sign, I don't mind Oh, it's nothing Trust me now, trust me later Oh, it's nothing (ahh)
5.
In a Dream 01:47
In a dream, I went to jail And you were there So they got you too? But after all, we really don't care We were only trying to find A good time Please don't ask me how I lost my head Just remember that you're never alone You're always my friend I was only trying to hide Just for a time Baby, you're old enough You really should know When to walk away And all the things you don't have to say
6.
Hey man, you know you've gone too deep Come over and we'll have some tea We'll talk about that record you hate I've got a copy, it's the one that you gave to me I know you've got a new sad story You can tell it a thousand times But it's a cheap blue memory It's just a cheap blue memory They never want you to say what you see I'm not sorry and I don't think I'll ever be No no, I don't believe in magic You say you're happy but you sure don't act it Why don't you try, try to take it easy Oh you see, there ain't nothing so worth your time

Perry had no money Perry had no way to make a friend Perry felt so lonely Perry dreamed of when he owned that vest Perry and the Vest (x4) Now he no cold shoulder Have a way to get most everything Perry got much older He forget just where he started from Perry and the Vest (x4) (solo) Perry and the Vest (forever)

Nervous intellectuals Talking all the time Always in a panic when Everything is fine Everybody's twitchin' Acting in the kitchen Filling every second Debating every hour Safe up in a tower Throwing down a brain spike Singing when you're nervous Talking with no purpose Nervous intellectuals Talking all the time Try to stay away from it Try to have a good time Can't we just enjoy A moment with no speaking? Have a piece of pie Without all the critiquing Listen to a song That hasn't got a meaning Be a goofy gumdrop Raincoat feeling Nervous intellectuals Talking all the time Always in a panic when Everything is fine

Chapel of peace, where did you go? How do I soothe my brain without you now? Chapel of green bean paradise Tropical tree on a hill of snow and ice Chapel of blondes, don't go in there Chapel of Aries, oh you give me such a scare Chapel of peace, oh no They're building the freaks Opposable sky in negative hell Only say Yes, and soon I'm feeling very well Reach out for old, reach in for new Do you believe you are dreaming, leaving you? Chapel of peace, oh no You're losing your lease Oh well, I've made my own means That means I don't need you now
