ON THE PIER
(Lo Fidelity All Stars w/Bootsy Collins)

(I? m gonna leave you, baby
Standing in line alone? sweet, sweet candy
Sweeter than honeycone)

Down on the pier where everything? s a little clearer
Crosstown traffic is running through my ears
Can? t explain it, don? t even want to claim it
You got me hooked like I? m some kind of famous

It? s so ignoramous and nobody? s gonna change
I? m technically your water, let me put out your flame
I may be scared, but I have no fear
Maybe a little paranoid, but that comes from smoking beer

Leave us alone and we? ll come home
Wagging our tails behind us
Oh, my dear, down on the pier
Where cops are shooting cops and acting kind of weird

(Shoo fly, don? t bother me? so incredibly
Shoo fly, don? t bother me? so incredibly)


I want to be with you so awfully bad
I need you by my side (?)
I want to be with you so awfully bad
(? I got nowhere to run to, baby)

Flower child, I? m growing wild, but I dig your style
I? m just a child, but I like drinking those cigarettes
You love me, you love me not, you got me feeling like a robot
I? m just a tot, I? m all in knots, but I like drinking those cigar-rots

I? m an endangered species, somebody come and save me
I? m down on the pier, and drinking those cigarettes

(Shoo fly, don? t bother me? so incredibly
Shoo fly, don? t bother me? so incredibly)

I want to be with you so awfully bad
I need you by my side (by your side)
I want to be with you so awfully bad
Now you can? t run and hide (I won? t hide)

I know you? re here making fun of me, but that ain? t why we? re here
Oh, my dear
I feel the pain taking over me, I hope it? s not a bad?
You know why I hate the one I love? I got nowhere to love to

(I? m gonna leave you, baby
Standing in line alone? your sweet, sweet candy
Sweeter than honeycone)


Shoo fly, don? t go away
I think I need you every day
Shoo fly, don? t go away
And we? ll go on and on and on out to the sea

I need you so bad
You? re the best friend I ever had
I need you by my side

Flower child, I? m going wild, but I dig your style
I? m just a child, but I like drinking those cigarettes
You love me, you love me not, you got me feeling like a robot
I? m just a tot, I? m all in knots, but I like drinking thise cigar-rots

I? m an endangered species, somebody come and save me
I? m down on the pier, and drinking those cigarettes

Now, I? m in your ear
I? m not like ear wax, you can? t clean me out now, baby? to the bottom of the pier
Lo fidelity
All stars

Uh, shake your, uh, shake your. . .
Doody-whopper-bopper
Yeah!
