I come from the planet of dogs
Where the day is night and the night is long
I tried to get a job
But they said I don’t belong
Now shoo now get along
And I walk on your streets
And your streets they walk on me
And I see dark corners in your weird world
And I can't, I can't wait, I can't wait to find
My little place in your weird world
Now I give myself to you and
I sleep in the park
And I give you all my clothes
And you help me to start
Start a new, start a new
And I look into you
And you look into me
And I see dark corners in your weird world
And I cant I cant wait, I can't wait to find
My little place in your weird world

She drags herself through glass and all that
Swallows swords and all that
And when she’s on her spinning wheel
She don’t flinch when she see those knives a comin
Mutilator, you send shivers down my spine
Back at her place, a half eaten steak on a plate
And an old melon rind and some torn up drapes
And on her bed of nails she makes me lie
And a cut up banana in her bedside shrine
Mutilator, you send shivers down my spine
Mutilator, I see you walkin with another guy
And I wonder why
I know I’m the only one
But you give me such a fright
When out of your arm
You take a bite

On my hand there’s a scar
From the time, oh never mind
And my love line is hard to see
But it’s still there, underneath
And my lifeline is fucked up too
covered in scabs and glue
Seems like it’s split
Split into two
One goes there, one stays here
One stays here with you
palm reader, seems so confused,
Tells me of me and you
And the rest of it says
The end is near
But I don’t care, I don’t fear
Every year the end is near
And we’re still here
We’re still here

My love is back again
I don’t know just where it went
All I know is it’s back again
My love is back again
I don’t know just where it went
All I know is this loneliness
My love ain't dead it’s back again
I had a visit from a dead friend
She told me not to wallow
In this loneliness

In the graveyard of my youth
Street of early sorrow
I have broken with the truth
Strange tales I have borrowed
And the grown ups just like brutes
Total jokes total cowards
And where would we hide
Behind the water towers
All in the graveyard of my youth
In the graveyard of my youth
I was a freak, I was a dog
And so were all my friends
We walked the whole days long
It was our mothers and our fathers
Full of lies and lies forever
We liked to sit in the bushes
Drinking wine in purple heather
All in the graveyard of my youth
Farewell my friends
I seek no more
The rules are cruel and they hang from the door
Now do I want pussy or a cocaine cure?
Or natural acts untarnished and pure
Well I may be a freak, I may be a dog
But my vision is clear, yes my vision is clear
I may be frightened or insecure
Of natural acts untarnished and pure…

Oh girl on the streets
With the silver front teeth
Selling flowers
Sittin on a sheet
Girl on the streets
Look so tough and so sweet
Girl on the street
Don’t know your name
But I see you everyday
Always talking on the phone
Even when it rains
Girl on the street
Look so tough and so sweet
Girl on the street
Don’t know how I feel
About this girl on the street
I’m always standin round starin
I’m always standin round starin
At this street living girl
Like a goddess in a mural
I only know her as the girl on the street

Earth girl seeks a lover
Seeks a space freak to satisfy
Intergalactic eyes that shine
Type 3 androids may apply
Pretty soon, pretty soon, it’ll be ok, it’ll be alright
Earth girl seeks a friend
Antennas bending into the divine
Pretty soon, pretty soon it’ll be alright

Well, something happened, I fell in love
But it was weird, real weird
It was an unknown planet
A strange being was standing all alone
When I fix my ship would you like to hit the void?
Oh is this your ship? This little space toy?
Oh a spaceling with humor
My favorite kind
But when I looked closer, she was sad inside
Oh my android she sheds real tears
She’s weird, I think I love you dear.
Well I don’t have to tell you,
Just how great she was
So beautiful, so intelligent, all those things
But she was married to some cyborg type
I tried to steal her away
And we were on the run
Her cyborg husband followed with his gun
He shot her he shot her
She bled green blood
I cried oh can’t I have a normal love
What happened to her?
She lived. And we really tried to make it work
We tried to make a life
But we were so different, such different types
That we had to break it off
And I’m still messed up
Did she go back to her husband?
I don’t even know what happened to her
But I miss her, y’know? I really miss her.
My antennas went deep into the afterworld
And I searched for her
Where the night is quiet
With star gleams
And comet trails.

Sonny & The Sunsets San Francisco, California
Sonny & the Sunsets are a beautiful west coast thing. Birthed from the sand, the surf, and twilight campfires down in Ocean Beach, Sonny & the Sunsets’ busted beach-pop songs spark recollections of doo wop's otherworldly despair, a dose of goofball humor from the Michael Hurley school, and positive possibilities exuded by Jonathan Richman. ... more
