Lyrics:
I feel a little blue 'cause I can't sew
There's still a lot of things that I should know
Anyone can guess
I don't know how to press
My Saturday clothes
And everyone's goin' home
I feel a little sad to watch them leave
But I'll be cool because I don't believe
The happy times are gone
I can still put on
My Saturday clothes
Every warm body knows
I've got to tell you that was a swell time
Now I'll take the butts away
And put the glasses on the tray
I'll see you all next Saturday
I feel a little off because they're gone
And if my gal were here I'd still be on
But in a week or two
There's lots of things to do
In my Saturday clothes
And everyone's gone home
I've got to tell you that was a swell time
So now I'll take the butts away
And put the glasses on the tray
I'll see you all next Saturday
We live that Vegas life
With a face like Krugger and Jason
We made some friends that night
There was Rum, red wine, there was Jameson's
Taking no prisoners, right
Yeah, we own the sky like spaceships
We float on air
So high off the ground
We float on air
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, yes it's gonna happen tonight
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Cinderella's turnin' up with Snow White
It's where the wild things are
It's where the wild things are
It's where my heart's gon' start
It's where the wild things are
Put your fucking glasses up
Animals, animals
Put your fucking glasses up
Look ma, I'm flying now
With the young, the rich, and the reckless
She took my hand and she lead me down
To the powder room and the necklace
You can't bring us back to earth
'Cause the poison's got us in Heaven
We float on air
Don't fuck with my heart
I'll float on air
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, yes it's gonna happen tonight
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Cinderella's turnin' up with Snow White
It's where the wild things are
It's where the wild things are
It's where my heart's gon' start
It's where the wild things are
Put your fucking glasses up
Animals, animals
Put your fucking glasses up
Hands up, people
Put your fucking glasses up
What happens at the party stays at the party
What happens in the club stays in the club
Put yo glasses to the sky, damn I'm so high
And she's so fine, I be on it all night long!
What happens at the party stays at the party
What happens in the club stays in the club
Put yo glasses to the sky, damn I'm so high
And she's so fine, I be on it all night long!
Man, they can never choose
We all got a set of tools we gotta use to push through
Like I did, and Esco is my nom de plume
Party in the penthouse, live
Fill all the rooms with beautiful vibes
That's the way to calm the goons
Champagne flutes, my cigars pop balloons
Bowties get untied when the clock hit 2
A '73 baby
I say a speech maybe
Besides the Littles and Joneses, hip-hop made me
Born in New York, I hope the most high keeps you
I wish at least fifty on all my good people
Fever
Wolf out of NYC
This is prophecy
Know this is meant to be
Evolve constantly
Half a century
Put your glasses up
Represent for me
Represent, represent
Represent for me
Represent, represent
Represent for me
Fly from infancy to half a century
Ah-ha, represent
I'm in the club, say put your glasses up
It's electronic backup on the track like wassup
Girl you know what I want, keep leaning to the front
And we be doing shows all around the globe, stunt
I get that party crashing, I take that money cashing
And even though she doesn't go I'ma get that girl to flashing
I'm bout to take it back, and post it on my mac
Yeah we could make a movie all the other stuff is whack
That's a rap, that's a rap, that's a rap
Oh, she's an all star, and I'm a show you
Yeah we speed up that car like we supposed to
And when we getting there, we gotta post to
We take a picture with a friend say she adores you
And she be jumping around, yeah we got that funky sound
Gotta take that last cup, that last cup, that last cup down
Baby touch your roof, everything you want just do
Make a wish I'll make it through, wanna drink girl I get two
[Repeat: x10]
Girl I get two
So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin'
You were talkin' to my second cousin
Were you talkin' about me
Were you talkin' about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do
So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring
So you can see what tomorrow might be
The guests are stood in silence
They stare and drink their wine
On the wall the canvas hangs
Frozen there in time
They marvel at the beauty
The horror and despair
At the wake of the Medusa
No one shed a tear
Sit my friends and listen
Put your glasses down
Sit my friends and listen
To the voices of the drowned
In the moonlight's ghostly glow
I waken in a dream
Once more upon that raft I stand
Upon a raging sea
In my ears the moans and screams
Of the dying ring
Somewhere in the darkness
The siren softly sings
Out there in the waves she stands
And smiling there she calls
As the lightning cracks the sky
The wind begins to howl
The architects of our doom
Around their tables sit
And in their thrones of power
Condemn those they've cast adrift
Echoes down the city street
Their harpies laughter rings
Waiting for the curtain call
Oblivious in the wings
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
We should pop more champagne this year
Than we did last year
And we should live like it's the only life we get
There's nowhere else past it
And as the dj plays the sparkles fly
Like fireworks have gone off
We got out glasses up and bottles high
And if you don't that's your loss
So we should live it up
Put something in your cup
Too much is not enough
Put your glasses up
Toast to the good life that we're livin
Up there's no one here but us
There's never too much love
Too much is not enough
Let's live it up
Let's live it up
There should be nobody sitting
Wanna tear the roof down
Put your palms up if you're with me
Got to nothing to lose now
Got the shots going around the room
And it's all on me yeah
You should call your friends and tell your crew
They should really be here
So we should live it up
Put something in your cup
Too much is not enough
Put your glasses up
Toast to the good life that we're livin'
Up there's no one here but us
There's never too much love
Too much is not enough
Let's live it up
Let's live it up
Ha!
But the freak stares on
Puts on his glasses and he smokes it down
That don't matter for much now/dear/downhere
He says, "I'm gonna put your head on
and don't you screw it up."
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H club, both active in the FFA
After graduation
Mary Anne went out lookin' for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl
Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
Wanda started gettin' abused
She'd put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And makeup to cover a bruise
Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die
Good bye, Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted alright to me, Earl
You feelin' weak?
Don't ask me why I put on my glasses again !
I must repeat myself because I have to win !
So don't ask me why I put on my glasses again !
To all the hustlers worldwide and from coast to coast
Put your glasses in the air and propose a toast
Grab the pretty girl that you love the most
Ladies, grab your boyfriend, baby, hold her close
Exotic girl from a Island and she love me mo'
Got another girl and she love my boat
Got another girl, love to sell my dope
Got another girl, love to buy me coats
But they ain't you, babe, no, they ain't you, babe
It's just somethin' else I can do when nothin' to do, babe
See they ain't you, babe, it's me and you, babe
And it ain't nothin' else I can do but be with you, babe
I'm at this point in my life, important part of my life
I'm at this point in my life that I don't really have time
I'm at this point in my life, girl, would you set me aside?
Baby, don't whine pon your seat

New year, it’s our year, to be clear, we here
Immigrant parents but I’m living the American dream for them now
It’s it’s it’s about to go down
This is for Eddie, Bobby, Rudy, Johnny
Up in the sky drinking poly loddy doddy
I don’t need a Maybach or Buggati
Couple of beds and some sheets, that’s a party
Go DJ, blow the speakers
All my women wear heels, no sneakers
Grim reaper, the night is mine
Meet me at 11:59

Not let’s make a toast
Reach for the sky right now for it’s so much higher than me

So you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin'
You were talkin' to my second cousin
Were you talkin' about me
Were you talkin' about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do
So you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring
So you can see what tomorrow might be
A baseball glove in the second grade put this little scar on my chin
And at 31 they put glasses on me when I couldn't tell an "h" from an "n"
I bounced back from all of that
Nothin's ever bothered me
Until you put the lonely on me
You put the blue, you put the fool, you put the tears on my face
You put the rain in an otherwise sunny day
Baby, you...
The guests are stood in silence
They stare and drink their wine
On the wall the canvas hangs
Frozen there in time
They marvel at the beauty
The horror and despair
At the wake of the Medusa
No one shed a tear
Sit my friends and listen
Put your glasses down
Sit my friends and listen
To the voices of the drowned
In the moonlight's ghostly glow

Once more upon that raft I stand
Upon a raging sea
In my ears the moans and screams
Of the dying ring
Somewhere in the darkness
The siren softly sings
Out there in the waves she stands
And smiling there she calls
As the lightning cracks the sky
The wind begins to howl
The architects of our doom
Around their tables sit
And in their thrones of power
Condemn those they've cast adrift
Echoes down the city street
Their harpies laughter rings
Waiting for the curtain call
Oblivious in the wings
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
I'm gonna rent myself a house
In the shade of the freeway
Gonna pack my lunch in the morning
And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
Amen
Say it again
Amen
I wanna know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen
Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the ice cream vendor
Out into the cool of the evening
Strolls the Pretender
He knows that all his hopes and dreams
Begin and end there
Ah, the laughter of the lovers
As they run through the night
Leaving nothing for the others
But to choose off and fight
And tear at the world with all their might
While the ships bearing their dreams
Sail out of sight
I'm gonna find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint by number dreams
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
And when the morning light comes streaming in
We'll get up and do it again
Get it up again
I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Sh sh sh sh
We got pipes, we ain't jumping
I just got some clips that I'm mother fucking dumping
Sh, sh, sh, sh
Bitches all in the jacuzzi
They wanna do me
That bitch she hit the hoochie coochie
Sh, sh, sh, sh
I'm with your tia
Watching Scooby and we smoking doobies
I'm rolling papers like diplomas (like diplomas)
I'm getting baked like this a sauna (like this a sauna)
I love all the women different genres (different genres)
I seen all expensive shit and bought it (shit an bought it)
Niggas sayin' damn Wiz been in his pocket (Wiz been in his pocket)
Breaking down zips and shipping product (shipping product)
They changing up quick 'cause they ain't solid ('cause they ain't solid)
To be a boss gotta be around him (gotta be around him)
Don't like the weather I just change the climate (change the climate)
Out in cancun reservation private (reservation private)
Leave a couple doobies for the pilot (for the pilot)
Got some inspiration for your stylist (for your stylist)
I be with some real ones y'all VR (VR)
Gotta put my glasses on to see y'all (to see y'all)
Smoking on that light green like neon (like neon)
Been working out it's hard to get her jeans on (jeans on)

Sh, sh, sh
I don't need a openin act
Now let's start the show show
Step out of the cold cold
We come from the 'Go, 'Go
To the top of the globe globe
The pimps and the hoes hoes
The Folks and the Stones Stones
Whoever you ride fo', we back for some mo'
Get back to the show show, you know
Let, let, le-le-le-le-le-let's go
It's a festival in hip-hop, we do it non-stop
Pop your bottles, Chicago niggaz do it in staccato
Choppin notes for my homies, fuck a motto
And Farragamo shoes givin dudes the model
Think fast, drive slow, survival is the throttle
Your live show is hollow, shoulda kept it local
Rappin over vocals, soundin soft as JoJo
With twelve monkeys on stage it's hard to see who's a gorilla
You was better as a drug dealer
Feel the passion of this B-boy ration-al
Half of it is what you say, and half is style
Guess it's time for you to stop cashin now
It's over folks, tell your guys to put the glasses down
Masters now, verses touch the youth like a Catholic priest
Performances keep me stackin the sheets
Now let's start the show show
Step out of the cold cold
We come from the 'Go, 'Go
To the top of the globe globe
The pimps and the hoes hoes
The Folks and the Stones Stones
Whoever you ride fo', we back for some mo'
Get back to the show show, you know
Just put my glasses on
Rose colored glasses on
What do you see
Tell me
What do you see
Ooh
Just put my glasses on
Rose colored glasses on
What do you see
Tell me
What do you see
Ooh
Blood on our hands and blood on the streets again
The people want it because it's all on demand
Yeah
Worship to nothing
Praying for something
Walking around like we're already dead
Yeah
No point in dreaming when they're stealing our beds
Yeah
Worship to nothing
Praying for something
Just put my glasses on
Rose colored glasses on
What do you see
Tell me
What do you see
Ooh
Just put my glasses on
Rose colored glasses on
What do you see
Tell me
What do you see
Ooh
Blood on our hands and blood on the streets again
The people want it because it's all on demand
