"Double Date"
Scene: The chase in the forest
Absurd 
king kong, in cannes, on a date with spiderman
dan dare's sitting there, scared by the killer teddy bears
downtown, mini mouse is slippin' mickys in the famous grouse
while big bird spreads the word
anybody with a heart votes love

judge dredd, found dead, face down in snoopy's bed
outside, tweetie pie's, getting itchy on more supplies
meanwhile, snow white getting ready for work tonight
turning tricks with crystal tips
trying to make the best of its absurd

puppy dogs and pussy cats in suspect suicide attacks
captain kirk from planet earth, fights it out with papa smurf
some phony little ponies, preying on the old and lonely
making friends, robbing them, the x men taught them everything
betty boop, tired of life, took vows, became a bride of christ
while tin tin's been playing him at caesars palace live on ice
babar kumbayahs with the mighty morphin' movie stars
as big bird spreads the word
anybody with a heart votes love

"Charity"
-----
Scene: Nikita is followed in the mall
All Dressed Up For San Francisco 
she's got spider web hair,
and a skin like see through jelly
with a porcelain stare
that moves the walls of my belly
but she used to have a
cherub's glow
that lit a lamp gas nose
her eyes were full of hot wine
and her body was a rose
now, she moved like a liquid
through the boys of Mason City
had every gatling gun-slinging soldier
every grease monkey, every Walter Mitty
she finally settled on some corn-husker
with cotton-seed teeth under a diamond smile
dressed up for San Francisco
but held up in Mason City for a while
now her man used to work
to make the corn belt grow
while she would dream of a city
with the soft heart of San Francisco
dream a quiet burrow
for a husband, child and wife
and poke another hole
into the hard American life
now San Francisco is no place
for a Mason City couple
you can get thrown into a turbine
and get lost in the shuffle
she keeps everything she owns
in a Saratoga trunk that's going out of style
dressed up for San Francisco
but held up in Mason City for a while

Episode:
"Nikita"
Scene: Nikita decorates her apartment
All To Myself 
I'd start with the boys that hang at the pier
like bats in the night, get tangled in your hair
I'd take away the weekend shoreleave lovers
That flood the ports with drunken tales of far away
I'd take away the Eiffel tower
I'd take away the port of Spain
I take your yellow coat
No more romantic walks in the pouring rain
Then I'd make washboard, wind-blown, sea-side, serenading, prep
school boys disappear
That flock in the summer like gulls to the beach
And pick at your heart like the garbage on the street
I'll take away all the things that make you look away from me
I'd take away everything then I'd have you all to myself
I'd take away the guy with the monkey wrench smile
He'll steal your heart away and make a Minnesota mile
Like a corner store crook on a prison break
Or a porno queen in a party cake
I'd take away the Spanish steps
I'd take away the Golden Gate
I take away everything
Just to have you all to myself
I never thought it'd get this bad inside of me
I never thought that I'd be so consumed with jealousy
I need you every night and every day in bed
These thoughts keep spinning in my head
Then I'd make the big screen, battle-scarred, bold-faced, leading man,
lone star heroes disappear
That fill your heart with thoughts of being swept away
But that's a part a man like me could never play
I'll take away all the things that make you look away from me
I'd take away everything
Just to have you all to myself

Angel 
You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight

Love you, love you, love you, love you...
You are my angel
Come from way above
Love you, love you, love you, love you...
