New Radicals - I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away The Ending

to the memory of New Radicals.
---
.... She wanted to be a nun
Until that fateful day we met
I beat the crucifix
In a game of Russian roulette
I burned my Beatles records
Because she hated number nine
She licked rock cocaine suckers
Laughed, said her moms doing mine

Well, are you an illusion,
Or am I just getting stoned
Because I can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending

We started limping,
Caught the handicap shuttle to town
And yelled "God's healed us"
As we ran off the bus the driver just frowned
By the way this girl was sexy and she wouldn't touch you
That may not be true
But I said it so you'd feel involved with this song

Are you an illusion
Or am I just getting stoned
Because I can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending

We caught a fey taxi driver
I smiled the ride was free
I felt like Amsterdam
She wanted more drugs and maybe me
I told her dealer I was broke
He hired a camera man
We did a porno film for coke
I hear I'm big in Japan

Are you an illusion
Or am I just getting stoned
Because I can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending

We went back to her kitchen
Put the coke all in a can
Tied up a T.V minister
In walked her dad
He started drinking coffee
Too much sugar on the go
He fell dead on the floor
He thought the coke was sweet'n'low

Well are you an illusion
Or am I just getting stoned
Because I can't take it alone
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending

Boy was she upset but then she stole her dad's wallet and
I drove him to the hospital
To sell all of his donatable body parts
And this is where she dies
They brought the depressed junkie in
She shot his Cyanide up
I guess she thought it was errol flynn
I'm blamed in the confusion
The police being phoned
I don't even love you
We weren't even friends
It's just that I can't take it alone
Uh, huh
I can't take it alone
I hope I didn't just give away the ending
Aw Jesus, Ah shit
I think I just gave away the ending

Transition at (1:55) AMAZING!!!! Synth bending pitches and dreamy chords crashing together - perfect segue into the main song from the fairly stream-of-consciousness intro. Masterpiece!!

[joy7353]

She was the little girl in All in the Family..what a collaboration!!! And how SELFISH he was to not want to "perform" anymore! Maybe he didn't realize his talent? Gonna go see what he's up to now days (Greg Alexander) -

[bowenmcconnie]

maybe the best album of the 90's...if you are interested at a peek at the ending check out my new art film, it's on my youtube channel...though unless you can easily listen to Hendrix's machine gun it may be a little heavy...

[pimpninja1985]

GOD I MISS THE 90's.
