Who Needs Water - Petrified Host

I make it half past six, you come at seven Always try to keep me hanging round You little spoilt thing, girl, you kept me waiting Never contemplating my point of view This comes as no surprise I'm a fool for I believed your lies But now, I've seen through your disguise Who needs, well, I don't need, who needs you? ¡Oh, qué, qué! Oh, I believed you Went on my knees to you How I trusted you But you turned me down But it's dog eat dog in this rat race And it leaves you bleeding lying flat on your face Reaching out, reaching out for a helping hand (Where is that helping hand?) ¡Oh, muchachos! I like it, I like it Hmm-hmm, ooh-ooh Well, I don't need you How I was pushed around Don't let it get you down You walked all over me But don't you ever give in Taking one step forward, slipping two steps back There's an empty feeling that you can't forget Reaching out for a helping hand When I met you, you were always charming Couldn't sleep at night 'til you were mine You were, oh, so, so sophisticated Never interested in what I'd say I had to swallow my pride So naive, you took me for a ride But now, I'm the one to decide Who needs, well, I don't need, who needs you?

Good-day sunlight I'd like to say how truly bright you are You don't know me but I know you, see You're my favorite star Follow you I will so lets get moving Who needs shelter when the mornings coming? Absolutely there's no one Who needs shelter from the sun? Not me, no. not anyone. By your clock the cock rooster crows Then off to work where everybody goes Slow, But eventually they get there Picking up the day shift back where all left off Confined and pecking at relationships You know it's only a worthless piece of shit Who needs shelter when the mornings coming? Absolutely there's no one Who needs shelter from the sun? Not me, no. not anyone. I'd sleep it all away but the sun wont let me I'd miss those lovely days of summer Good-day sunlight I'd like to say how truly bright you are You don't know me but I know you You're my favorite.

Got a couple lounge chairs here In my back yard And I'm stuck down in my bed My own long dark haired pretty señorita Chillin' with me right here Speak a little Espanol to me baby, Come and whisper in my ear, Ah mi amor esta noche Yeah, we're going to be fine right here Who needs Mexico? Hell its just too far to go? We can make our own nachos Jalapeños and Don Julios Blow up a couple fake palm trees Get em swaying over you and me We got it made in the shade, you know So who needs Mexico? I know I don't Baby Got my early shorts on and my kool-aid bands My feet are in the kiddy pool We can drink a while here and still feel fine Baby don't you think that's cool? Got a mariachi band on the stereo, Couple Christmas lights strung in the tree, Got a fan turned up all the way to ten A little scintillated ocean breeze. Who needs Mexico? Hell its just too far to go? We can make our own tacos With habaneros and Don Julios Blow up a couple fake palm trees Get em swaying over you and me We got it made in the shade, you know So who needs Mexico? I'm down in Tijuana with my little enchilada Start shaking them maracas in my face like chihuahua I'm south of the border in our bedroom She gets it hotter in there than in old Cancun Who needs Mexico? Hell its just too far to go? We can make our own nachos With guacamole and Don Julios If a siesta is what we need We can climb in that old hammock swing Get it moving to and fro So who needs Mexico Sitting here in my old Ponto Wearing my sombrero Just as long as it don't snow Who needs Mexico?

There's an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer I ran across it just this afternoon And I realized that I don't ever use it anymore In fact, last time I did I think it was with you When we were down in Cozumel We had the whole beach to ourselves And it's crazy now to think That it's all there on that film And I could take it to the store To be developed but what for I can still see everything just fine And who needs pictures With a memory like mine Standin' I couldn't help but think about Everything that might be on that roll I think it even has, another trip we took I guess that must've been At least three years ago When we were down in Baton Rouge And there wasn't much to do So we drove into New Orleans Every afternoon And I swear that you would think That it was only yesterday 'Cause I can still see everything just fine Who needs pictures With a memory like mine Somewhere in my closet There's a cardboard box just sittin' on a shelf It's full of faded memories And it's been there ever since the night you left Oh, just forgotten photographs To remind me of the past Oh, but I can still see everything just fine Who needs pictures With a memory like mine Yeah, who needs pictures With a memory like mine

I'm on the right track for lots of kissin' So, that old greenback, I won't be missin' All the greatest things in life are free Who needs money? Not me Cash or credit, it doesn't matter Long as my bank books keep growin' fatter Easy street is my favorite avenue Who needs money? I do Just pity all those millionaires They never can relax Because they're always worryin' About their income tax Why waste time on high financin'? I'd rather spend it on good romancin' What if my pockets are empty as can be? Who needs money? Not me (Tell me 'bout it) Some folks save it, some folks lend it But, as for me, I want to spend it Give me some green, and my skies will be blue Who needs money? I do Stocks and bonds, they only bore me Interest holds no interest for me Who wants to sit in the lap of luxury? Who needs money? Not me When I go to bed at night Instead of counting sheep I start counting dollar bills And then I fall asleep Makin' money never thrills me It's making love that really kills me What can I lose with my philosophy? Who needs money? Not me (What d'you want?) I want a big yacht I can cruise in The kind that gals just can't refuse in All it takes is a million or two Who needs money? I do Any time some gal starts flirtin' Now that I'm broke, I know for certain She really digs my personality Tell me, who needs money? Not me Poverty's the only thing That money cannot buy So, rich or poor It pays to have M-O-N-E-Y A gal who's tender, that's what I love It's legal tender I want a pile of Just let my liquid assets overflow You can't take it with you when you go So, who needs money? That lovely, lovely money Who needs money? Not me

Well, I got in from work just a little bit late After fightin' with the traffic and the people on the interstate Then I had an altercation with the washin' machine So by the time that you got home I guess I was a little mean Well, you and me got into a terrible fight And we stayed up yellin' at each other till late last night You crashed on the couch about half past two And I woke up this mornin' thinkin' who needs you Who needs you stealing my covers, taking up half the bed Who needs all the crazy things you do Who needs you and all of your lovin' No matter what I might have said I'll give you just a little clue I'm feelin' mighty sad and blue 'Cause I'm the lonely fool Who needs you So darlin' wipe the sleep out of your eyes Wake up and let me apologize I never should have said those things to you Now I swear that I still care and not a single word was true Oh, let me get your favorite coffee cup Here's the cream now sugar can we please make up We're not due at work for an hour or two Why don't you lay back down and let me show you Just who needs you Who needs you stealin' my covers, takin' up half the bed Who needs all the crazy things you do Who needs you and all of your lovin' No matter what I might have said I'll give you just a little clue I'm feelin' mighty sad and blue 'Cause I'm the lonely fool Who needs you Who needs you and all of your lovin' No matter what I might have said I'll give you just a little clue I'm feelin' mighty sad and blue 'Cause I'm the lonely fool Who needs you

I'm a charged body, but I don't know which kind Be careful around the edges They're shifting left, they're coming back You can't explain why It's so sad to see how The damage is done How attached you are To this small amount of great knowledge you think you hold But it is the other way around. I know less and less I'd rather close my eyes Give me almost nothing and I'm charged And you ask, but you know, we both know How attached you are To this small amount of great knowledge you think you hold But it is the other way around. Now, the effect is reversed. Up becomes down, you don't want it no more Why didn't I beg us to stop Freely The damage is done

Through the fog The scent of myrrh prevails Cleansing all our sins Through the clod The worms caress my head Take me to the fifth sun Curtain call My scene is ending All I hear is silence Where I end you'll begin When I fall you will stand Sail away, goodbye I've been left down here to die Never mind what's near There's nothing left to fear I'm fading, I dissolve into the ghost I'm waiting for the earth to be my host Save me, teach me Hold me, guide me Leave me fading, dying Elevate Transcend Leave my grasping human bones Every vein yields rain Satiates the ground below Elevate Transcend I disperse into the loam Every vein yields pain I've been left out here to rot Curtain call My scene is ending All I hear is silence Where I end you'll begin When I fall you will stand
