“Mercedes”
I’m a little late
a little lost
a little misunderstood
you can tell my friends
that in the end
I’m no one’s girl
but that wouldn’t be true
there’s no telling what I would do
if all in all I hear your call
suddenly I’m back again
(chorus)
so take me outside
all the way to Coney Island High
where’ve you been?
one day we’ll be back again
well I’m a little high
a little far
a little all undone
you can say you know it’s all come true
but I’m still the one
I caught you laughing
and I caught that smile
if the October wind
would let us in
we could stay awhile
(chorus)
I’m a little late
a little lost
a little misunderstood
you can tell my friends
that in the end
I’m no one’s girl
but that wouldn’t be true
there’s no telling what I would do
if all in all
I hear your call
and suddenly I’m back again
(chorus)

“King of the Dolls”
in my dream
I was dressed like Arthur Kane
but when I took the stage
I forgot my name
tell me, what can you do
when the lights are out
and the spotlight’s on you
in your evening gown?
King of the Dolls
he was the King of the Dolls
no doubt about it
he was the King of the Dolls
and in my dream
as I fell down
he picked me up
and we talked awhile
his blond hair was glowing
just like the sun
and as he was laughing, he said,
“You’re not the only one”
(chorus)
in the dawn
he walked me home
“Do you believe in ghosts?” I said
“Just my own”
I hear a lightbulb whistle
like it’s about to blow
“If you forget your name again," he said,
"you’ll know where to go”
King of the Dolls
he was the King of the Dolls
no doubt about it
he was the King of the Dolls

“Hotel Coronado”
hello Kate, where did you stay?
and what did it take to run away?
did you find the ocean in its place?
or did you get lost along the way?
I guess I know where to find you
Queen of the Hotel Coronado
on the beach with the sun behind you
hello Kate, what did you say?
I wish I could make you stay
I looked for the ocean in its place
but I got lost along the way
far away as God can take you
with the Lake far behind you
all the stars all around you
I guess I know where to find you
Queen of the Hotel Coronado
on the beach with the sun behind you
far away as God can take you
with the Lake far behind you
hello Kate, what did you say?
and what did it take to run away?
did you find the ocean in its place?
or did you get lost along the way?
I guess I know where to find you
Queen of the Hotel Coronado
on the beach with the sun behind you
far away as God can take you
with the Lake far behind you
and all the stars all around you
I guess I know where to find you
on the beach with the sun behind you

“Fox River Blues”
you won’t find the mountain there
and you won’t find the sea
you could steal the Book of Love
and blame it on me
looks like the sky is falling
come on and see it through
and they say there’s nothing like those
Fox River blues
we’ve played for silver
we’ve played for gold
and you can pray for rain
when you get back to the road
I’ve seen the Mad River
one time too
but it was nothing like those
Fox River blues
so what’s the answer?
I wish I knew
I thought I saw it coming
but I didn’t have a clue
there’s no use in crying
when you know it’s true
it’s just another case of those
Fox River Blues
