Was (Not Was) - Tell Me That I'm Dreaming

 
Members of the Congress, I have the high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you, the President of the United States. 
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. 

I pulled into your town
Saw two signs
Said "West and West"
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Turned down a no-way street
Saw another sign
"Drive in reverse"
Or something like it
We talked like men
And ate fish at the end of the pier

I tried to walk, but how?
The rest of you were dancing
With pointy shoes on
Somebody pinch me
Am I?
Na na na na na
Was I?
Did I—away the night?

New shoes, laser breakfast
Fast target vehicles
Leather house
Dreaming, somebody pinch me! (Ouch!)
Can we who man the ship of state deny
It is somewhat out of control?
Can we who man the ship of state deny
It is somewhat out of control?
Can we who man the s–
Can we who man the s–
Can we deny control?
Thank you very much. Thank you. 

Night watchman at a bank
Made some pirates walk the plank
Oh, I must be dreaming
Tell me that I'm dreaming
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Can you imagine all that milk?
Tell me that I'm dreaming

Tag! You're it!
No! It's not funny!
It's not funny!
Aaaagghh!
Not!
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
Out of control
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

Was (Not Was) - The Sky's Ablaze

 
 My father used to take a drink or two
When I was young
It was then hallucinations
Always dangled from his tongue

The sky's ablaze with ladies' legs
He used to say
They're kicking from the clouds
Shoes fall through the morning haze
And splat like eggs amongst the crowds
Can you see them, son, my father asked

Now they're dancing plain as day
His eyes were rolling fiercely
There was little I could say
How can you go on, I'd like to ask
How can you bear the night?
Instead I hold my tongue
'Cause I know we'd only fight

The sky's ablaze with ladies' legs, he'd say
They're kicking from the clouds
Shoes fall through the morning haze
And splat like eggs amongst the crowds
Can you see it, boy?

The sky's ablaze with ladies' legs, he'd say
They're kicking from the clouds
Shoes fall through the morning haze
And splat like eggs amongst the crowds
Can you see it, boy?

The sky's ablaze with ladies' legs, he'd say
They're kicking from the clouds
Shoes fall through the morning haze
And splat like eggs amongst the crowds
Can you see it, boy?

Was (Not Was) - Where Did Your Heart Go?

 
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain,
Or down in Mexico?
 
 Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain,
Or down in Mexico?
 
 I spend my nights down on the wharf,
In unlit alleyways,
 Next to the church downtown,
Where Sally prays.
 
Come down sometime,
We'll eat a rusty can of corn - yes, we will!
And listen to the radio,
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you, it says...
 
And rock 'n' roll can't teach me
What that river said that night.
I jumped into the beauty - yes, I did, yes, I did!
And drifted out of sight...
 
  Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain,
Or down in Mexico?
