cake - long time

It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.

It's been a long time,
Since you wore your pillbox hat.
It's been a long time,
Since we drove your Po-o-o-o-o-o-ontiac.

It's been a long time,
Since you gave me bu-u-u-u-u-u-u-utterflies
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen it bu-u-u-u-u-u-urning in your eyes.

But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.

It's been a long time,
Since we tripped into this ditch.
It's been a long time,
Since we drank the ar-r-r-r-r-r-rsenic

It's been a long time,
Since we've been insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide of this tomb.
It's been a long time,
Since you wore your e-e-e-e-e-expensive French perfume.

But I don't mind (I don't mind),
No I don't (I don't mind),
But I don't (I don't mind),
When I've got you next to me.
Next to me

It's been a long time,
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time,
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.

cake - i will survive

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.
And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking luck.
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.

And you'll see me with somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you.
And so you thought you'd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

cake - never there

I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch

I need your understanding
I need your love so much

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, you're never there

On the phone long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
And first you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me
Never there
You're never there
You're never ever ever there

Hey!

A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game
(x2)
You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)

Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why can't you just show me
We're always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer

Never there
You're never there
You're never ever, ever, ever, there
(2X)

HEY!

cake - comfort eagle

We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors and adding more lanes
We are building a religion, a limited edition
We are now accepting callers for these pendant keychains

To resist it is usless
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is buring but he never seems to ash
he is grooming his poodle
he is living comfort eagle
you can meet at his location but you'd better come with cash
now his hat is on backwards
he can show you his tatoos
he is in the music business
he is calling you "dude"

now today is tomorrow and tomorrow is today
and yesterday is weaving in and out
and the fluffy white lines
that the airplane leaves behind
are drifing right in front of the waning of the moon

he is handling the money
he is serving the food
he knows about your party
he is calling you "dude"

now, do you believe in the one big sign?
the double wide shine on the boot heels of your prime?
doesn't matter if you're skinny, it doesn't matter if you're fat
you can dress up like a sultan in your onion head hat

we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple mr. corporate events
take a walk through jungle of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi, some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says, "now do you believe in the one big song?"
he's now accepting callers who would like to sing along
he says, "do you believe in the one true edge
by fastening your safteybelts and stepping towards the ledge?"

he is handling the money
he is serving the food
he is now accepting callers
he is calling me "dude"

do you believe in the one big sign?
the double wide shine on the bootheels of your prime?
there's not need to ask directions if you ever lose your mind
we're behind you, we're behind you
and let us please remind you
we can send a car to find you if you ever lose your way

we are building a religion
we are building it bigger
we are building a religion, a limited edition
we are now accepting callers for these beautiful pendant keychains

cake - the guitar man

Who draws the crowd?
Who plays so loud?
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know baby it's the guitar man
He can make you love he can make you cry
He will bring you down
He will get you high
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles away
To find another place to play
And night after night who treats you right
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You know baby it's the guitar man
When he comes to town and you see his face
And you think you might like to take his place
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Searching for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em home
He can make you love he can get you high
He will bring you down he will make you cry
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place to play
(Fade away)
(Got to play)
(Fade away)

cake - perhaps perhaps perhaps

You won't admit you love me
And so
How am I ever
To know
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I ask you
And then
I ask you over
Again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna' wind up
Being parted, broken hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes
But if you don't, dear,
Confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna' wind up
Being parted, broken hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes
But if you don't, dear,
Confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

cake - short skirt long jacket

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond,
I want a girl who knows what's best,
I want a girl with shoes that cut,
and eyes that burn like cigarettes.

I want a girl with the right allocations,
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack.
She's playing with her jewelry,
She's putting up her hair,
She's touring the facility
and picking up slack.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

I want a girl who gets up early, (gets up early!)
I want a girl who stays up late, (stays up late!)
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity,(uninterrupted!)
Who uses a machete, to cut through red tape.

With fingernails that shine like justice,
and a voice that is dark like tinted glass,
She is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack.
She's touring the facility
and picking up slack.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket.

(na na na na.....)

I want a girl with the smooth liquidation, (smoothliquidation!)
I want a girl with good dividends, (good dividends!)
At Citibank we will meet accidentally, (meet accidentally!)
We start to talk when she borrows my pen.

She wants a car with a cup holder-arm rest,
She wants a car that will get her there.
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen,
She's trading her MG for a white, Chrysler LaBaron
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

(na na na na na.....)

cake - is this love

I can?t believe it?s true.
I can?t believe that you
Don?t want me anymore.
You?re with him,
And you don?t even know
That I?ve been dying all day long
And singing sad, sad songs
And wishing you were gone.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should I close the door?

My eyes are burning in my head
And seeing only red
And wishing you were dead.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should i,
Or should i, should i,
Should I close the door?
Should I close the door? ah, I fooled myself.

Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or should i,
Or should i,
Or should i, should i,
Should I close the door?

cake - sick of you

I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don,t want to be with you
I wanna fly away
I wanna fly away
I'm so sick of work, so sick of play
I don't need another day
I need a hideaway
I need a hideaway
Every chinese toy
That is first for a good joy
But always starts to coy and annoy
Every camera, every phone
All the music that you own won't change that you're all alone (all alone)
Every piece of land, every city that you plan
Will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Everything you find, that at first seems to shine
Always turns into the same old lie (same old lie)
I wanna fly away
I wanna fly away
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
Every little dance, every end of that romance
All alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you

cake - she ll hang the baskets

She'll hang the baskets on the walls
Don't you know I've seen it all before?
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
He'll go to buy her turtle wax but in his mind he won't be coming back
She'll hang the baskets on the walls
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
But I've seen it all before heard the slamming of the door
Come summer come fall come winter
There'll be baskets on the floor
She'll hang the baskets on the wall
She'll hang the baskets on the wall

cake - when you sleep

When you sleep where do your fingers go?
What do your fingers know
What do your fingers show
Where do your fingers go

When you sleep
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed
Or do you fold them neatly by your head
Do they clench like claws against your own skin
When you?re living your day al over again

When you sleep
When you sleep where do your fingers go?
What do your fingers know
What do your fingers show
Where do your fingers go

Do they play guitar in a latin bar
Are they strangers or lovers
Do they drive your car
Are they swimming submissively
Sex acts of life
Or just cutting through jello with a very sharp knife

Now zeus was a womanizer
Always on the make
But hera usually punished her that zeus was one to take

When you sleep where do your fingers go?
Are they pulling out weeds from the dusty soil
But then never rewarded with the fruits of their toil
Are they scratching their nails on the chalkboards of death
Only seeking attention when everyone in the room has left

When you sleep
When you sleep where do your fingers go?
What do your fingers know
What do your fingers show
Where do your fingers go

When you sleep

Do they tremble on the edge of the bed

Or do you fold them neatly by your head

cake - the distance

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They daftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowesses podent and secretly stern
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns...
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone!)
All alone in a time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance.
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no line
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impail him, with monster truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'cause he's racing ad pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns...
'cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone!)
All alone in a time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance.

cake - take it all away

You keep pushing me away
In spite of what you say
I found out yesterday
That I've been wasting all my time
Trying to make you smile
Trying to make this seem worth...
While you've been pushing me around
In spite of what I do
Trying to make things good for...
You take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
You've been racing through my mind
You're picking up in speed
You're driving recklessly
It's like a car crash happening on my street
Broken bodies at my feet
And sirens on the way
They're too late
'Cause nobody's going to save us
We're a rubbernecker's dream
We're burning gasoline
Go take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
And go
Go ahead and destroy this
Better come with an army
Are you feeling feeling okay baby?
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away

cake - end of the movie

People you love
Will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair
Your teeth
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
