(Yeah!)

Well, we assure you, the procedure is safe and routine
Dramamine sends haunting dreams (Dramamine sends haunting dreams)
With an incessant drip, signs pockets like a palsy
'Cause you have to work hard for.. (Yeah you work hard for what you've got)
Yeah you have to work hard for.. (Yeah you work hard for what you've got)
(Yeah you work and now your...)

(Local.. Ane..sthe..sia.. Teases)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia

Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh! Sleep, Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

Something practiced is something perfect
Our selfishly slim member cuffed
The season's got us eating less and less (less and less..)
You walk the full length of Manhattan in no time flat
While your slow, sick words start sticking in every stare

(Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work and now your...)

(Local... Ane... sthe...sia.. Teases..)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia

Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

(Lo...cal... Ane... Sthesia... Teases..)
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia, teases,
Local anesthesia,
Teases me too!

Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose
Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh! Sleep Oh!
We'll breathe the sweet air through your nose

Yeah you work hard for what you've got
(Breathe the sweet air through your lungs)
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work hard for what you've got
Yeah you work and now you're...

    "Local anesthesia is any technique to render part of the body insensitive to pain without affecting consciousness."

    Do a little research next time.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
