Get Behind Me Satan

You got a reaction.
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid.
You took a white orchid, turned it blue.
Something better than nothing.
Something better than nothing, and it's giving up.
We all need to do something,
Try keep the truth from showing up.

How dare you,
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you,
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you,
How old are you now, anyway?

You're given a flower,
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you.
Your lip tastes sour,
But you think that it's just me teasing you.
You got a reaction.
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid.
You took a white orchid, turned it blue.

Get behind me,
Get behind me now, anyway.
Get behind me,
Get behind me now, anyway.
Get behind me,
Get behind me now, anyway.

You got a reaction.
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid.
You took a white orchid, turned it blue.

The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds,
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon.
When you're helpless with no one to turn to,
Alone in your room.

You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave.
She promised and said "you will always be safe here with me".
But promises open a door to be broken to me.

No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down now.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down now.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down.

The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill.
She's too mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill,
The one that you're trusting suspisciously dusting the sill.

No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down now.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down now.
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never gonna let you down.

I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell.

Oh, well.

Well, women are chippin' me kisses, not the man in my life I know.
And I been goin' to Mystery Miss, I respect the art at the show.
Take back what you said, little girl,
And while you're at it take yourself back, too.
Well, I'm tired of sitting and waiting,
And woman, whatcha' gonna do now, whatcha' gonna do about it?

Yeah, I'm thinkin' about the doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about the doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it, oh?
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell.

Oh, well.

You don't seem to come around.
Point your finger and make a sound.
You don't seem to come around.
Knock-knock since you knocked it down.

Oh, well.

Make a sound and I'll make you feel right.
Right at home, yeah.
Yeah, right at home, yeah.

Now you got me waitin' in pain,
But how come it's so easy to you?
You don't strike me as the type to be careless,
But your words seem so obtuse.
But then again, I know you feel guilty,
And you tell me you want me again.
But I don't need any of your pity,
I got plenty of my own friends,
They're all above me.

And I've been thinkin' about the doorbell,
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it?
Yeah, I've been thinkin' about the doorbell,
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it, oh?
I've been thinkin' about the doorbell,
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it?
Yeah, I been thinkin' about the doorbell.

Oh, well.

They don't seem to come around.
Push the finger and make a sound.
They don't seem to come around.
Maybe they, they'll knock 'em down.

Oh, well.

Make a sound and I'll make you feel right,
Right at home, right at home.

I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell,
And when you're gonna ring it, when you're gonna ring it.

I'm thinkin' about my doorbell,
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell.

Oh, oh well.

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with a singer
Cause he'll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinking about the girl
Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh

A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing boy, I think I had enough
Just because she makes you feel wrong
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Yeah, by playing a different role, oh

The boat well you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it*
And the truth well you know there's no stoppin' it

So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're left, denying the truth
And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need to spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes?
Oh, where do you s'pose she goes, oh

The boat well ya know she's still rockin' it*
And the truth well you know there's no stoppin' it, hey, yeah
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it*
And the truth well you know there's no stoppin' it

You recognize the effect and the fact
That it's comin' when she rocks the boat
Well it's the cause hittin' on the Cardinal Laws
'Bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that doctors weren't kiddin'
She's been singing it all along

But you were hearin' a different song
Yeah you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song


(* = Unsure about lyric)

White moon, white moon
Breaks open the tomb
Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote
Creature come, creature, creature
My own double feature
As I'm warming the bleachers at home

Well, my nose keeps on bleeding
'Cause it's rita I'm needing
I better call out a meeting of the boys
Of the boys
My friends are all dying
And death can't be lying
It's the truth and it don't make a noise

Oh Rita, oh Rita
If you lived in mesita
I would move you with the beat of a drum
And this picture is proof
That although you're aloof
You had the shiniest tooth 'neath the sun

Easy come, easy go
Be a star of the show
I'm giving up all I know to get more
To get more
Photograph the picture
Young grunt pin-up scripture
For locker-tagged memories of war

A mirage, this garage
And a photo montage
And a finger massage from the host
Good lord, good lord
The one I adore
And I cannot afford is a ghost
Is a ghost

Proto-social is the word
And the word is the bird
That flew through the herd in the snow
In the snow
Lemonade me, then grade me
Then deliver my baby
And if my friends all persuade me, I'll go

Blink, blink at me Rita
Don't you know I'm a bleeder?
And I promised I wouldn't lead her on
But she met me, then led me
And I ate what was fed me
'Til I purged every word in this song

Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference...
Between a father and a lover (repeat)

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's halloween
And the kids are laughing
The rogue is a bank he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at

Can you believe some things are not
Appealing and there's a snot
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom
And of these dreams that you can't imagine
But none of them match the vision
That you have decided for me
You ought to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
I'll bet you wouldn't expect a fight, oh
Can it be that I don't want what you want?
And the only thing I could care for
Is a place in a home that is safe and warm
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm
Safe and warm.

Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me alone to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me

Can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
I'm standing, standing in the red, red rain
In the morning, standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
In the morning, I'm standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl

You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you
You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you

In the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain

If there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too
And if there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too

In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain

Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
