Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
the infrastructure rots
and the owners hate the jocks
with their agents and their dates
if the signatures are checked
you'll just have to wait
and we're counting up the instants that we save
tired nation so depraved
from the cheap seats see us
wave to the camera
it took a giant ramrod
to raze the demon settlement
but high-ho silver, ride
high-ho silver, ride
take another ride to see me home
listen to me! i'm on the stereo stereo
oh my baby baby baby baby babe
gave me malaria hysteria
what about the voice of geddy lee
how did it get so high?
i wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
(i know him and he does!)
and you're my fact-checkin' cuz
(Aww...)
well focus on the quasar in the mist
the kaiser has a cyst
and i'm a blank want list
the qualms you have and if they stick
they will drown you in a crick
in the neck of a woods
that was populated by
tired nation on the fly
everybody knows advice
that was give out for free
lots of details to discern
lots of details
but high-ho silver ride
high-ho silver ride
takes another ride to make me
oh, get off the air
i'm on the stereo stereo
oh my baby baby baby baby baby babe
gave me malaria hysteria
I heard what you said
The leaders are dead
Now they're robbing the skies
I can hear the followers cry
Ah whoo
Starlings in the slipstream
Ah whoo
Starlings in the slipstream
Ah whoo
Starlings in the slipstream
Ah whoo
Starlings in the slipstream
The language of influence
Is cluttered with ha-hard c's
I put a spycam
In a sorority
Ah whoo
Darling on the splitscreen
Ah whoo
Darling on the splitscreen
Ah whoo
Darling on the splitscreen
Ah whoo
There's no women in Alaska
There's no creoles in Vermont
There's no coast of Nebraska
My mother I forgot
Slavic princess with a rose in her teeth
Do you suppose she would bite you if she could
Insane cobra split the wood
Trader of a lowland breed
Call a jitney drive away
In the slipstream we will stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
ahhh! shit, baby.
canyon bro', your life is worked in
dream about the witch trials
you get all too lot of pepper in your forecast
beneath the shady mezzanine
keep it when you want to belong...
july fourth, raging fortune
dream about the witch trials
send in the romance of people with their dreadlocks
tied like windshields in the night
keep it when you want to belong...
i keep my head on for pretty jades
i keep my head up for ships and shades
i keep my head up for bitchy braids
i keep my head up for guilty ray...
waaaaaaaaaooow(x2)
my.god.i can't believe i am still going(x2)
can you treat it like an oil well
when it's underground, out of sight?
and if the sight is just a whore sign
can it make enough sense to me?
pretend the table is a trust knot
we'll put our labels down, faith is down
i'll watch some yards of twine unravel
and you'll never get it back
it's what i want (it's what i want)
it's what i want (twine comes down)
it's what i want (it's what i want)
don't you know, i could make you try
make you try [3x]
i've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we have
so wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharp
i can open it up and it's up and down
it's what i want (it's what i want)
i see your bag like a little dog [?](ball of twine)
don't you know that it's what i want (it's what i want)
i'll see your bag and it makes you try
makes you try [3x]
i've been down, the king of it, is all we have
i've been down and i could wait to hear the words
they're diamond sharp today
So much for destiny,
A pin prick on my knee,
The frost you paint
across our dead affair.
I sensed the toxic aura
from the second we touched,
You were stitched up venom
and I was the cursed from the Vedic.
Time is a one way track and I am not coming back,
I dream in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
Time tired you're tainted through,
wind (wins?), songs and substitutes,
I dream in beige why'd you leave me so far now.
The afterlife is steep,
We wonder and retreat,
And everyone is after us.
Skirt the gaunt street hawkers
with the black lemonade,
Keep an arrow trained on their
conflicted minds 'cause they stutter.
Time is the one way track and I am not coming back,
I dream in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
Time tired you're tainted through, (fruit?)
wins, songs and substitutes,
I dream in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
I bleed in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
I bleed in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
I bleed in beige why'd you leave me so far now,
maybe she is
maybe she's not
maybe we's

when they fall in they fall in from the roof
they grab on to me tightly as if i knew the way
when i fight for something i fight because i care
when i fight with you i fight but i don't care
everybody wants the questions to be asked
the questions are the answers to questions in themselves
ask me if i really need it
ask me if you want to get hit
hit it
ask me if you want to be...fucked.
take me down from the ridge
where the summer ends
we'll watch the city spread out
just like a jet's flame
I've got a secret for you
I cut your angel in two
I left her bleeding
and soaked it with a dry sponge
no life has singed her now
no life has singed her now
no life has singed her now
I can see it fade
we've got a license to live
it's our only one
if it expires we float up to the dust haze
I've got a secret for you
I cut your angel in two
I saw her spinning and dripping
on your new dress
no life has singed her now
no life has singed her now
no life has singed her now
you're killing me
you're killing me again
it's not my fault
it's not my fault again
a sign, a sign, a sign on the door
you're killing me
you're killing me again
you're killing me
you're killing me again
it's not my fault
it's not my fault again
there's a line, a line, a line for the whore
you're killing me
you're killing me again
got struck by the first volley
of the war in the corps
never held my service
send em a wire, give em my best
this ammunition never rests
no one serves coffee, no one wakes up
stop breathin'
stop breathin'
breathin' for me now
write it on a postcard:
dad they broke me.
dad they broke me.
[repeat]
i can see the lines open shutters
and the leaves flocked on a grid
that's what they made my hero say
but nothing gets me off so completely
but when you put it down
ten feet down in the ground
call and response in the negative home
stop breathin'
stop breathin'
breathin' for me now
write it on a postcard:
dad they broke me.
dad they broke me.
[repeat]
i told her lies deceitfully
and she believed, she believed in me
i told her o lip suction fragment
and she believed, she believed in me
i told her i was free of disease
and she believed, she believed in me
i told her i loved her
and she believed, yeah she believed in me!
Silent kid no one to remind you
You got no hands, to reelers to remind you
Silent kid don't take your arm shot
Home, on the road, you got to take it
Silent kid don't lose your graceful tongue
This is the city life- let's talk about [? ]
Come on, now, talk about your family
Your sister's curse, father's old and damned, yeah

Started in the old south
i brought it to the new west
sold it for a dry claim
i bought it back the hard way
i've got a mine thats fine
isn't it the best one yet?
i bought it in '49
i've got a mine thats fine
heard about your bad fall
i guess its just the rock's fault
i bet you need some old south
i'll sell it for your gold teeth
i've got a mind thats fine
i swear its the best one yet
i bought it in '49
i've got a mind thats fine
she was just a moaner
she was never saved
bruises in my stomach fight
i fed it to my engine
i've got a mind thats fine
i swear it's the best one yet
i bought it in '49
i've got a mine thats fine
i've got a mine thats fine

what i was was a pissing johnson
and what she was was a faded bombshell.
maybe maybe
what i was was a mark inside her hand
what she was was a ten pound block.

Embrace the senile genius
Watch him reïnvent the wheel
I don't need your summary acts, summary acts
To give into the narrative age
Old to begin
I will set you back, set you back, set you
Old to begin
I will set you back, set you back, set you
You get to feeling like a fixture
Set in 1966
Time came that we drifted apart, drifted apart
Find an unidentical twin
Old to begin
I will set you back, set you back, set you
Old to begin
I will set you back, set you back, set you
Search for a blatant cause
Blame it on menopause
Or perhaps stress and strain
Credit cards lumbar pain
But I've called you double dare
Everything extraordinaire
I know the things you do call to come back
La la la la la
La la la la la
Doctors leaving for the holiday season
Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab
And in the parking lot is the sedan he bought
He never, he never complains when it's hot
He phoned the fallen daughter in the sauna playing contract bridge
They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters
I dont know which .which... which...
Boys are dying on these streets
I know the medical world could knock you out
To sell the coins that you jayed last thursday
Dine by candelight and hold your savings tight
You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart
We spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes,
And the bedside morale
We traipse around the table talking sentences
So incomplete... please! plea!
Fight for felicity for me.
You know i cannot do it myself.
Stick your fingers in my mouth.
Pull my lips back and watch me smile.
Catch me on my troubled portion.
Maybe there is something there for you.
Look below her nylon stockings,
snapped the double notch and left untied.
Some king chooser will wind up with my number.
I'll go to sleep and
wait for my number to come.
Deep pockets may be deeper
and always had a nickel to spare.
Now the blood blister's,
the blister's black
as she washes her hands across her chest.
But if you're willing to call my machine,
flip the coins and watch me light up
hope the time is right for it
when its done
turn your back
King chooser has come for my number.
I'll just roll over on my back
and wait for my number to come.
i've got one holy life to live
i've got one holy life to give
i've got one holy life to live
i've got one holy life to give

how can I, how can I, how can I
how can I make my body shed for you
how can I, how can I, how can I
how can I make my body shed
around your metal scars
Loretta's scars, Loretta's scars
Loretta's scars
from now on I can see the slums
makes me nervous, makes me run
from now on I can see the slums
makes me nervous, makes me run
how can I, how can I, how can I
how can I make my body shed for you
how can I, how can I, how can I

Loretta's scars, Loretta's scars
Loretta's scars

from now on I can see the slums
makes me nervous, makes me run
from now on I can see the slum
from now on
i make haste
to carry my skin
into the arm
must of ?????
never less
never less
cuaght might grow in to a mind that eats
like a big taste lie
i've laid low
from now on
this is a joke
when he sees the skin rought on me
play low
from now on
this is a joke
can i see the skin rot
on a dog stray's hide
(Instrumental)
the expedition has fifty goes
40 roses and you blow
make your way way way way way way way far away
where you stay where you play
where do you play?
can you say what you need
when you really need it?
are you gonna feed it?
lady i know-know-know you don't
need no license for your petty, petty petty crime
? if i should function two layer under?
around the circle luxury is so tough
so toughen up, toughen up,
i'm not tough enough
tonight we interact like seperate worlds
spoken barriers you hurl
If you enjoy the company
of a descending family tree
Well tuck in your thoughts,
it's there or its not.
the feeling is mutual
Well pardon my birth i just slipped out
origins i can't brag about.
spawn of a bank inquisitor
And theives i wish.
Watch out the snitch also
involves himself in blackmail.
One would think the interests conflict.
Yeeeeah, hooo
(some meaningless gibberish about docks?)
changing the order...
the air is so taut/tight i feel so thin
Hot as the come to closing in
Hot as the gun i'm closing in
and reeap the benefits
Beware the head of state
says that see believes in leprechauns
Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me, yeah
be as it may i'm happy to say i'm around
Miles accrued and passengers add up
the message on a mirror says "stick with me"
Cause no one's there
to read your reflection when i'm gone
rotten device, i'll say it twice
i'm too much i'm too much comforted here
costs too much too much, we'll leave you
everywhere eyes, nowhere to die
no place to shove your sharpened heel
i'm looking looking for a tired face
in case you wanted to go
i know, i'm breathing in to the end
calling the bluffs, talking so tough
goodbye to the ugly steeple fear
good times for ever after
i'm just a man
you see who i am
i'm binding my hooks
and open the books
dirty black hearts
angel of corpus cristi
you're so misty, tell me what i want to hear
i know i'm reeling in...[x2]
to the end [x4]
fame throwa pass out the gold
the diamond watch, the last reward
all the things we had before
you sold us out and took it all
head-borne cries from zenith sluts
astral rites from dead-end ruts
these ends are sick-end wars
these ends was sick-end wars
it's one of our nation's spies
it's one of our first recruits
I click with her leather thighs
it's one of our first recruits
how can you know
in the distance lies a grower
nee roudolph king of fame throwa
son of groupie, red-worn sexan
spent his cash convincing us
that the desert was a starscape
and took our lives for a
satellite so we could cry
naked, naked foul
it's one of our nation's spies
it's one of our first recruits
I click with her leather thighs
Well you greet the tokens and stamps
underneath the fake-oil burnin' lamps
in the city we forgot to name
the concourse is four-wheeled shame
and the courthouse's double-breast
I'd like to check out your public protests
why you're complaining Ta!
Those who sleep with electric guitars
range rovin' with the cinema stars
and I wouldn't want to shake their hands
'cause they're in such a high-protein land
because there's 40 different shades of black
so many fortresses and ways to attack
Wasn't the question you asked me
It wasn't the answer I gave
That made me feel like I was on a train
Was a distant voice
Made me make a choice
That I had to get the fuck out of this town
I got a lot of things to do
A lot of places to go
I've got a lot of good things coming my way
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.
Last time I was there
You were out on the couch
Pressed into a little electric 2
It was the way that you smiled
Made me know at once
That I had to get the fuck out of this town
'Cause I've decide to make a stand
And I'm not gonna take your hand
I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O.
I'm just waiting waiting for the baptist
that sad suck-off left me in Damascus
I'm Just waiting waiting for the baptist
that sad suck-off, that shit left me now
I'm just wasting, wasting all the black ticks Queens way's rockers,
enough to make your ears twitch
I'm wasting, wasting all the Black chicks (tits?)
Some reddish sins, some grey - is it now ???
I'm just waiting, waiting for a black jet
That fucker...Ahhhhhhh...
That fucker left me now
that suck left me now
that sun left me now.
five minus four equals unity
five minus four equals unity
yeah baby oooh
with impunity
impunity
a bottle of red
a bottle of white
i'll take my chances
show me how sweet romance is
five minus four equals unity
UNITY! YEAH!!!
your western homes are locked forever
the new frontier is not that near
magnetic screens that fold in backward
will only bring you years of fear
this is what i always wanted,
a new home with a place to breathe
bring your congregation someday
and you will never...
never see what i want
i can't see what i want

away from the mirror in a rainshed
generation

I sneezed corn flakes down to my nose
hes got a chrome-plated baby so it knows where it goes
i spent a long week waiting for my laundry with steve
i spent a long while waiting for my hair to recede
You shouldn't hate your body cuz its part of you
shouldn't hate your neighbour if he's family of man
no you shouldnt hate your family cuz there part of you
shouldn't hate your friends your friends your friends
Everybody's got one that they can't recieve
when the cat's in the kitchen there's nothing but fleas
i spent a long time waiting for my hair to recede
i spent a long time waiting for my hair to recede
My space is...
ready to be taken
by the sweat up high
with the fucked up eyes
with the ugly face
the ugly face, the ugly face, the ugly face
the ugly THIGHS!
we all thought you'd lose
to the recorder grot and kick it!
behind my back before you cross
behind my back before you crash
behind my back before you crack
behind my back before you crack
behind my back before you cross
behind my back recorder grot
behind my back recorder grot
recorder grot, recorder grot

two states
we want two states
north and south
two, two states
forty million daggers ...
two states
we want two states
there's no culture
there's no spies
lies and betrayals, fruit-covered nails
electricity and lust won't break the door
I've got a heavy coat
it's filled with rocks and sand
and if I lose you
I'll be coming back today
(I got a message for you)
I'll be coming back today
(I keep it in my hand)
you know I'm coming back one day
(I've got a sister or two)
and I'll be coming back today
ex-magician still knows the tricks
tricks are everything to me until it's free
I've got a trigger cut
and I can't pull it back
but if I learn how
I'll be coming back today
(I got a message for you)
you know I'm coming back today
(I keep it in my hand)
and you will look at me and say
(I've got a sister to you)
that you just wish I went away
sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I learned the truth, the truth of the words
truth I made for you because it's just as good
and if I spit it out
before I chew the ring
I'll rearrange it
till it looks just right today
(I got a message for you)
and I'll be coming back my way
(I keep it in my hand)
and you will look at me and say
(I've got a sister or two)
that you just wish I went away today
and she's eating her fingers
like they're just another meal
and she waits there in the levee wash
mixing cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar
my eyes stick to all those shiny robes
you wear on the protein delta strip
in an abandoned houseboat
I'll wait there, I'll be waiting forever
waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
minerals, ice deposits
daily drop off the first shiny robe
I've got a lot of things
I want to sell but not here babe, you took it all
everytime I sit around I find that I'm shocked
everytime I sit around I find that I'm shocked
everytime I sit around I find
everytime I sit around I find
everytime, everytime, everytime, everytime
you're my summer babe
lane driver
the forces against you, the rain
I know everybody wants to put you down
but I know everybody's gonna put me down
I want you
because I'm rushing to feel you
but I won't set you down, I don't need to
[x2]
fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
don't try try try try try
it's a brand new era, it feels great
it's a brand new era but it came too late
she won't let you know that I need a right to touch her
she won't let you wait for me
for me to touch you
crowds of the people and voices and steeples and wedding rings
wild are the horses and break-up divorces and separate rooms from
My my my my my my my
I love your tinted eyes
So bad, so bad, so so bad so so bad
She won't let me break you out
When the picture's cut it free
three of us is enough
it's the simple stuff i need
can't you see the stuff i need?
can't you see?
can't you stuff me?
Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge it like a puzzle
Hit men wearing muzzles
Hesitate you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene is crazy
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word
But I don't care, I care, I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!
Songs mean a lot when songs are bought
And so are you
Face right down to the practice room
tension and fame's our career
Old intuition -- on your dock we're fishin'
Come on now, give us a grade
A for effort, and a B for delivery
C for devotion when the world starts encroaching on your plans
Where is the savoir, where is the savoir -- he's not here right now
Where is the savoir, where is the savoir-faire?
Embassy row -- the fumes they lay low
On lanes that are wide -- where the limousines glide
On the wrought-iron gates and the bone china plates
And don't forget your manners where the anthems play
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take a crown
Maids, they are frisked -- and asses are kissed
I needed a visa -- I bought off a geezer
Political favors could make you a savior
In an open corner where the news is late
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take a crown, I'm gonna take a crown
I need to get born, I need to get dead
I'm sick of the forms, I'm sick of being misread
By men in dashikis and their lefist weeklies
Colonized wrath -- their shining new path
The converted castle of moorish design
If you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldn't mind
The plots they are hatching, the surface is scratching
In an open corner where the news is late
In a netherland of foreign beads
In a netherland of foreign beads
In a netherland of foreign beads
I'm gonna take you down, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
Welcome to my friends
This house is a home and a home's where I belong
Where the feelings are warm and the foundations are strong
If my soul has a shape well then it is an ellipse
And this slap is a gift
Cause your cheeks have lost their luster
You know your cheeks have lost their luster
You know your cheeks have lost their luster
You know your cheeks have lost their luster
Luster, luster, luster
Take it back
Send return out of time
Tape machine needs to be aligned
Aloha means goodbye
And also hello it is in how you inflect
Put the bark in the dog and you've got a guardian
When the capital's S it is followed by a T
And it's probably me
And the tones are grouped in clusters
You know the tones are grouped in clusters
Well the tones are grouped in clusters
You know the tones are grouped in clusters
Clusters, clusters, clusters
Take it back
Kiss me into the past
There's some bands I'd like to name check
And one of them is REM
Classic songs with a long history
Southern boys just like you and me
R.E.M!
Flashback to 1983
'Chronic Town' was their first EP
Later on came 'Reckoning'
'Finster's Art', and titles to match
'South Central Rain', 'Don't Go Back To Rockville'
'Harbourcoat', 'Pretty Persuasion', you were born to be a 'Camera'
'Time After Time' was my least favorite song
'Time After Time' was my least favorite song
The singer, he had long hair
And the drummer, he knew restraint
And the bass man, he had all the right moves
And the guitar player was no saint
So let's go way back to ancient times
When there were no 50 states
And on a hill there stands Sherman
Sherman and his mates
And they're marching through Georgia
We're marching through Georgia

Blind date with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers
And the check when it arrived, we went dutch, dutch, dutch
Dutch a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emory board is giving me a rash
I'm flat out
You're so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don't move
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life
A shady lane
Everybody wants one
A shady lane
Everybody needs one
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
Oh my God, oh his God, oh her God, oh your God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
The worlds collide
And all that I want is a shady lane
Glance don't stare
Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs
No not me
I'm an island of such great complexity
Distress surrounds
The muddy peaceful center of this town
Tell me off
In the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys
And the over friendly concierge
A shady lane
Everybody wants one
A shady lane
Everybody needs one
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
Oh my God, oh his God, oh her God, oh your God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
The worlds collide
In a bucket top of the hill
Overlooking out of time thrills
You think you need some inspiration
And I wouldn?t wanna ask because I don?t mind
If it don?t rhyme
Are a trespasser
Kiss me when I cross the tracks, baby
And I?ll be watching you babe
I?ll be watching you, I?ll be whining too
Just a soiled little filly can't raise the roof
Keep your heart open under your glass
It was given my a maker that dirty, dirty taker
And ya don?t mind because he don?t mind saying
?I feel like a lap dog
You pet me when I beg
Why do beggarsisis
They never kneel??
I?ll be watching for you, too
I?ll be watching for you, too
I?ll be watching for you, too
I?ll be watching you
Your time to change, your life arranged
She's not sure what to say
He's about to lose his mind today
And it's all about to change, about to change
I find it hard every time you stand
She's not sure what to say
He's about to lose his mind today
And it's all about to change, about to change
She's not sure how to play
He's about to lose all of that
And it's all about to change, about to change
She found the tongue, the tongue you won
She's not sure what to say
He's about to lose his mind today
And it's all about to change, about to change
About to change
About to change
About to change
About to change
About to change
Hold on tight she wears the seek
It's got more stars than the sky
It's still forbidden to excuse
That little look in your eye
I was busted in my gut that time
That time I said, "I know it's true"
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
I can't believe she's married to Roe
I would have turned down the light
But she always marked my fear
Doesn't make it alright
I wanted to stay there
But you know I needed more than that
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Run, run to the east confession trash
We don?t need your thrills or your call-book cash
Let just, nature?s got plans to keep you up there
Swamps, fiddles that whine, about the Mayor
Our caves are divine, they?ve got conditioned air
Fan-tail, backwash factory, rooms will stay up here
Hands off of the bayou
(Get some bombs)
Heels, stay in your state, it's a new south trap
What, what is the bait? Ya silly aqua-cat
War, college exam, you know I learned a lot
About the fiction you tossed and the father's fat and lost
Your fail less father lost, your chivalry is lost
Your chivalry in shame
Hands off of the bayou
maybe somone's gonna save me
my heart is made of gravy
and the laps i swim from lunatics don't count
open up your stocking
pull out all the things you never wanted
from room service calls
room service calls
open up your hands and let me see the things you keep in there
i want to split up fifty-fifty
that's the way we do it in this rose town
i've got all the glory in the world
and i hope it doesn't floor you before you go
room service calls
in the random halls -- go!
whenever (x6) eve eve ever i feel fine
i'm gonna walk away
from All This, all That.
the groovy groovy kitty and little little pity
with your slipshed (?) watch in back
and skinny skinny people don't like that
when you call on them
spell me.
spritzer on ice in new york city
isn't it a pity?
you never had anything to mix with that
listen to the tender behind the open chest in the hall
room service calls
i'm blue 'n green, and green and blue-oooo
whenever (x4) ne ne ne ne never ho
i feel fi-i-ine, i'll walk the plank for you
i'll walk the plank
i walk your plank for you in the d-d-d-d-dark
of the captain (seder row?)
Jacob, Jacob Javitz, i'd like to thank you for everything
primarily your glass house
i'm workin' the ballin' stores 'n
i'm cashmir wrap sellin'
come along lads, join hands, 1. 2. 3. go! (guess, levis, guess, levis)
whaaaahahaahahooohoaoohoo
the story it goes and a
distorted ghost
Call, response, syncopate the prose
Fuck the highs because I live for the lows
Four by four, with activated riff
It?s good in my car, so it must be a hit
I know where the heart is
I know where the heart is
Giant drinks and waitress indisposed
Ski that jump on the tip of her nose, forget it
Songs are written but never with a pen
The words will follow but you never know when
I know where the start is
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate's up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruel you'll take me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon will come too soon
Fate's up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him
Cucumber, cu-cu-cumber, ca-ca-ca-ca-cabbage
Cucumber, cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cabbage
He's a yo-yo man, always up and down
So take him to the end of his temper
Fate's up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate's up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
I can't sing it strong enough
it's that kind of strength I just don't have
if you watch the lights change
don't hold them hanging
you think it's easy, but you're wrong
I'm not one half of the problem
Zurich is stained and it's not my fault
just hold me back or let me run
so what does it mean, a mistake or two
if it's the kind of mistake no one can trace
to the fountain where we sold it
and held them hanging
you think it's easy, but you're wrong
I'm not one half of the problem
Zurich is stained and it's not my fault
just hold me back or let me run
you think it's easy, but you're wrong
I'm not one half of the problem
Zurich is stained and it's not my fault
Out beyond the call of duty
Hold your instincts hostage and stick near me
Let's drink a toast
It's the most I can stand to cry
About the mental energy
You wasted on this wedding invitation
Let's thank the host
You've been such a great host
The roast was just so perfectly prepared
Now I know you cared
Now I know you cared
We are underused
We are underused
Simply put I want to grow old
Dying does not meet my expectation
Let's drink a toast
To all those who arrived
Alive to tell about their struggles in hushed
Tones around the fire, it's late winter
Let's sink the ship
Mix our blood just a tip
A crip is sleeping on the basement stairs
Oh I know he's there
Oh I know he's there
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
Sherri you smell different
Get up early in the bed
For you morning comes so easy
Spells have been cast and the urge has been lost
Snipers posted bills as they of our midnight vacation
Back on the planet now
I'm beginning to see just how
You echelon your dreams and they'll come true
Type slowly
One of us is a cigar stand
And one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine
The edge of creation is blurred and blushed
Not a lot of room to grow inside this leather terrarium
People of the bay
It is excruciatingly grey
Face the front when he comes for you
Type slowly
Cherish your memorized weakness
Fashioned from a manifesto lady I am no futurist etc.
Trolls in the glen are consorting again
The liberals say they don't exist but I know they do
Reïnforce your literal ass
Hit it on the first or second pass
Frozen images suspected few
You better find a way out
You better learn how to run
You better walk away
And leave the angles to the shills
Well I've been thinking for days
About the means and the ways
I could hate all I touch
I know you're my lady
Wise to trickle numb to flood
A voice coach taught me to sing
He couldn't teach me to love
All the above
Easy talking border blocking
Transport is arranged
Praise the grammar police
Set me up with your niece
Walk to Baltimore
And keep the language off the streets
I'm of several minds
I am the worst of my kind
I want to cremate the crutch
I know you're my lady
Phone calls could corrupt the morning heed
The surgeons warning
Pillars of eights
I swung the fiery sword
I vent my spleen at the lord
He is abstract and bored
Too much milk and honey
I walzed through the wilderness
With nothing but a compass and a canteen
Setting the scene
Easy talking border blocking
Blind date with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers
And the check when it arrived, we went dutch dutch dutch
Dutch a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emory board is giving me a rash

Plugs without a socket
There?s no moon without a rocket
Holes if you could lock it
I wouldn?t let you if you wanted to
Court or you?re bad, bad when you?re good
Close ?em off and let him go home
I never want to leave ya
But I won't want to grieve ya
When ya money come around I?ll be home
No one gets to laugh at you
I know a bike with a plate a special plate forgetting me
Your home is not my home and your bone is not mine
No more things that I could want and delay [unverified]
Let?s smoke some butts, Steve
Let?s smoke some butts, come on
Let?s smoke some butts, come on
I?m hoping for somebody, somebody who will love me
And I?m not sure that that?s very hard to find
'Cause I never really looked, I never really took
A second glance at something you said
I?m leaving on my fly you know
You know, no way I do
Oh, leaving don?t you know
Come on, come on, come on
[Unverified]
Buy me a postcard, put it in the mail
Buy me a boat and we?ll set sail
Buy me a ship it?s just the same
Same way of saying the same thing
Oh, no one gets to lie
When it gets down too close to the
Never mind, forget what I said
It meant nothing to you or me, you or me
I met a man, a man who taught me something
Something about tying knots on a girl?s forehead
I never learned ?cause I never had eight children
And I never wanted them
But now, now I?m getting older
Maybe I?d like to fuck a woman and make one
But I don?t know if I should
Because I don?t have a real steady job
fun for an hour when the hour's gone
can one trick nights feed 40 days
in my bed at the break of dawn
she shivered like a vein slashed bright and new
she's got the radio active
it makes me feel OK, I don't feel OK
she's got the radio active
it makes me feel OK, I don't feel OK
grip-force the vial, strip the locks
smashthe set and slash the beds and
when it looks like a wife's ex-plot
we'll cover all the rugs with cheap perfume
she's got the radio active
it makes me feel OK, I don't feel OK
she's got the radio active
it makes me feel OK, I don't feel OK
like a docent's lisp
like a damsel's spit
like a dry gin's twist (of lime)
like a poor droll sir
like a poke's dull spurs
You know you've got it all wrong
There's no other way to find it
You know you've gotta be strong
And I really hope you plan to buy it
'Cause that's the way to passat babe
That's the car to his soul
He will bring you all the millions of gold, child
If you will only let him have his roll
Everybody wishes you'd gone
But I've got no time to find it
And the dealer with the jingley song
Will never match my price reduction
'Cause that's the way to passat babe
That's the car to his soul
He will bring you all the millions of gold, child
If you will only let him have his roll
Yeah you gotta be strong
There's no other way to find it
All the plantings ae young and able
And I hope you find a way to buy it
'Cause that's the way to his heart babe
And that's the way to his soul
You'v got to give him millions in gold, child
Before I go the way of the sold
'Cause that's the way to his heart babe
And that's the way to his soul
You'v got to give him millions in gold, child
I've beem waiting, anticipating
sun comes up
the skies wont sink my soul
I've dreamt of this
but it never comes
but it never comes
the horizon

I've been dreaming
traced out but dreamin
sun comes up
the blisters burn my soul
I'm dreamin
of something now
of something now
on the horizon
the natures dry
Open call for prison architects
Send me all blueprints a.s.a.p.
Stack the wall such that I cannot breathe
Man is bleeding forever
Because of the weather
I hope soon to leave from the east
No more absolutes, no more absolutes
Stick your penitentiary clothes inside the vent and run along
Amateur seasalt gatherers colonised
Good enough for conrad hilton
Not good enough for my eyes
I trust you will tell me
If I am making a fool of myself
Man is bleeding forever
Breeding forever
can you treat it like an oil well
when it's underground out of sight
and if the sight is just a whore sign
can it make enough sense to me
pretend the table is a trust knot
we'll put our labels down, faith is down
and watch the yards of twine unravel
and you'll never get it back
it's what I want (it's what I want)
it's what I want (one gets down)
it's what I want (it's what I want)
don't you know
I could make it dry, make it dry, make it dry
make it dry
I've been crowned, the king of it
and it is all we have so wait
to hear my words and they're diamond sharp
I could open it up if it's up and down
it's what I want (it's what I want)
I see a bagluck, a little bar (all on time)
don't you know that it's what I want
(that's what I want)
I see your bag and it makes me try
make me try, make me try, make me try
I've been down, the king of it
and it is all we have, I've been down
if I could wait to hear those words
I'm up on a hill top where I
Keep you in sight, my little toys
I buried you because the sun
Will melt them
Got you up my sleeve
Got you up my sleeve
Got you up my sleeve
Got you up my sleeve
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Taking over
Taking over your life
I'm taking over your scene
Ya, ya, ya, ya
I would hope to see the face
I would hope you see her face
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
(Taking over)
There's no survivors
There's no survivors
Don't even snow
(We're not that disturbed)
Don't even snow
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down

There's no survivors
There's no survivors
Taking over your life
Taking over your life
I'm taking over the scene
I'm taking everything
All I wanted it all
My little trick
I wouldn't mind just a milligram
Up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
There's no survivors
Taking over your life
Taking over your life
I'm taking over the scene

I was dressed for success
but success it never comes
and I'm the only one who laughs
at your jokes when they are so bad
and your jokes are always bad
but they're not as bad as this
come join us in a prayer
we'll be waiting, waiting where
everything's ending here
and all the sterile striking it
defends an empty dock you cast away
and rain upon your forehead
where the mist's for hire if it's
just too clear
let's spend our last
quarter stance randomly
go down to the outlet once again
painted portrait of minions and slaves
crotch mavens and one night plays
are they the only ones who laugh
at the jokes when they are so bad
and the jokes are always bad
but they're not as bad as this
come join us in a prayer
we'll be waiting, waiting where
everything's ending here
and all the spanish candles
unsold have gone away to this
and a "run-on piece of mount on"
trembles, shivers runs down the freeway
I guess she spent her last quarter randomly
I guess a guess is the best I'll do
I'll do, last guess
The actress is always breaking things
The things you made she took you for
And I'm so tired I'd be lying
I hope the prarie buys you more
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond this year
That's why the marblelawn stays clear and warm in time
I want to stay but my time is wasting
Magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missle launcher to the sky
I know I need to stay
And we all know that by staying here
It will be a good high this year
So what's the use of staying there
If you've got no use for time
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond all year
The continent moves with growing fear
It's all for expensive lawn
I want to stay but my time is wasting
Magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missle launcher to the sky
I know I need to stay
I know I need to stay and fight the day
I know I need to stay and fight the day
Conduit for Sale! (Pavement)
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....
Imagine if you will Herr Proctor, alias a nobleman, son of son of scion
scion. Part of his rich inheritance, parcel in generous [divorced sense]
forklift beam. Certain plots of land and living quarters deemed by all
gentlemen, and wives thereof, to be grossly humane and frankly, quite
[undirty]
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....
Herr Proctor, in his enviable good taste, tries quick escape gambit via local
periodicals, but no takers. The land [???] was stationed in a conduit
between two cells, a veritable no-man's-land, [rain, the flophouse, cog-
bone terrors] and carbon monoxide wallpaper. All [his brig-deck trina]
boys ask: is it livable?
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....
Unable to bear the scandal, Ray, philanthropist, rents low-down scab
house in conduit, Herr Proctor offers said land for a song, but no one
wants to sing. In an attempt to maintain social privileges, yet mask it as
goodwill, he says to the conduit members, 'Take this rotten old tree and
make it bear fruit." Cheers erupted throughout the [???] settlement. An
Italian male was heard to say, "between here and there is better than
anything over there!"
it's so funny we went right down to the store-we got the money so we'll put you down
we got the money, we got the money, we got the money
we got the money, we got money, we got the money
ho! we got the money now
Rockin', rollin' splishin', splashin' Over the horizon, what can it be? Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah Do it to me one time. The pilgrims sailed the sea To find a place to call their own so free In their little ship, the Mayflower They hope to find a better home to be
They finally knocked on Plymouth Rock As some one said we're there It may not look like home But at this point I don't care
Oh they were missing mother England They swore their loyalty until the very end Anything you say King, it's OK, King You know it's kinda scary on your own We've got to all just get together Talk to call each other on our telephones
I want no more Kings no more Kings (X3)
You taxed our property you didn't give us any choice And meanwhile back in England you didn't give them any voice
That's what I call taxation without representation And that's not fair (It's wrong! It's wrong!)
It's a long list of mistakes you made King And let's start with the - worst
You had the nerve to tax our cup of tea To put it kindly King, what? did you expect me to agree? Gonna show you why we dumped it in the ocean Made the biggest harbor of tea you'll ever see
On an icy island in north, in the woods beside the church
We can bury crimson lockets filled with dirt
And when the April thaw brings us out again
We can bless the arrows
And the sun won't stall, and the land will never fall
On virgin fields we'll skate, stand by children we'll create
Like the arctic wind we spin a windmill's rose into the threshing soul
You can't thresh the snow when the snow is sending
There's no divine grove, you can see the blankets go
Everything I did was right, everything I said was wrong
Now, I'm waiting for the night to bring the dawn
Into the only room where the fire's warm
Where we keep our vices warm and it's all that's left
Well, you mesmerize me
Stop criticizing me
You know, I'm solo that way
And I'm heading for the Cape
I'm on a raft, can't turn back
Stimulate the open chords
I'm on a raft, can't turn back
(Louder!)
You're an ocean of honey
Painfully funny, yeah
And the tears that you grow
Are coming up early
I'm on a raft, can't turn back
And you stimulate the open chords
Rats, in the bath, of the shaft...
((indistinct))
You're a Nestea splash
Sunkist two-thousand class
All the towelers of thongs
And a heavy, line, oh...
Down the golden groves
All around this funky place
Damn, damn, damn
I'm just waiting waiting for the baptist
That sad suck-off left me in damascus
I'm just waiting waiting for the baptist
That sad suck-off, that shit left me now
I'm just wasting, wasting all the black ticks queens way's rockers,
Enough to make your ears twitch
I'm wasting, wasting all the black chicks (tits? )
Some reddish sins, some grey - is it now???
I'm just waiting, waiting for a black jet
That fucker... ahhhhhhh...
That fucker left me now
That suck left me now
I got a leaf
And a spleef
Light that spleef
God bless that spleef in my mouth
Or should I say ja baby
Spin Doctors are crazy
Take it Butch
I got a life complete with my love
I got a wife, she fits in my leather gloves
I got a knife and I keep it above my heart for you
Rock on
It always sets me down
The way you tremble when you're down
And all the lies you tell
Come back to haunt you baby
Back to haunt you down
Come back to haunt you baby
Haunt you down
All right
Look Out
I've been to Christmas in France
I don't wanna have no pants
I've had Christmas in France
Where they don't wear any pants
I've had Christmas in Detroit
How do you think that feels?
I've been married in Cincinnati too
Hold Off
All you need your fill is waiting for your man to come home
All your deets undecided boxes
Are coming out
I'm coming out
I'm hungry for you
I can smell you on my hands
And it smells really good
Oh yeah
Hold me down and love me
Hold me down and love me
Keep that knife above me
I'll teach you how to look my age
If you wanna look old
I'll teach you how to look my age
If you wanna look old
I'll teach you how to look my age
Increase Mather told her dad, yeah
"I roundly disagree with you
You're vocal style's to preachy
All the yokels mock your teaching."
But Cotton, he was just so oblivious
To all their cutting pleas
Soon the townfolk took to it,
In every pew they looked to him
For guidance just like eyeless lambs
Awaiting that ol' kabob stand
The skeptics formed
The nation's born
They want to have it, Cotton's dream
But Increase had them mounted
And they burned on open fires
So the word spread just like small pox
In the Sudan
The gentry cried:
"Give it a day!" x6
Years and years have passed
Since the puritans invaded our soul
Just like those arab terrorists
You'll never know
But today the gods can't make us quake,
We see our lives as situations
Eyes are eyes and teeth are teeth,
Well mine are rotten underneath
I got two ways we can separate from the clan
If I could fly... I...could... fry
I hope you profited from this bulletin
And it stabilized your land
You're drenched, you're fired,
Your Alzheim clan, but
Your father is another one of them
I don't wanna mention him again, cause
I talked to him last night,
He hates my guts
We had a fight
And he called you a slut girl,
Why's that?
It's the shouting, it's the shouting
it's the Dutchman, it's the Dutchman shout
get it away, I don't need your shaft
It's the shouting, it's the shouting
It's the shouting, it's the Dutchman shout
give it away, I don't need your shaft
(yes I do)
It's the shouting, it's the shouting
it's the shouting, it's the Dutchman shout
Don't be a toy on the back of a magazine
Don't, don't be a toy on the back of a magazine
There's a caricature no one reads
I know you've got a lot of special things to do with me
I'm through, I know, it's alright
Sing along, sing along, sing along
Practice everything you preach, you nun
I got none today, expecting none tomorrow
And tomorrow, after that release the strings of Nashville
And watch the songs expire and silence is danger
But it's not required here, so why you scared?
I know, you got a lot of special things to do with me
I'm through, I know, it's alright
The damage has been done,
I am not having fun anymore.
Do what you do when you try
what you get when you see the light,
come down i'll set my hope
in a wonderful hospital man.
We got rooms to live room to live in
room to give but no room to give in,
but you never had a chance
no you never had a chance.
To those above take us out
throw us down shove us out.
We get down so so hard.
But your vulgar display
caught me off gaurd;
Cold cold boy with an American heart
gonna run in and lock up the shots again
But Ann don't you cry, don't you cry ann,
don't you cry.
Don't you cry Ann, don't you cry,
don't you cry Ann, don't you cry.
Well my heart is not a wide open thing, I know,
there is hardly not a lot to say,
except i met her and her 5 false friends.
They go, they go
Tied, tied, tied to the tracks
just remember the facts
Repeat until you're running aground again.
But ann don't you cry, don't you cry ann,
don't you cry.
Don't you cry Ann, don't you cry,
don't you cry Ann, don't you cry.
Dear Ann, don't you cry you'll sever the love.
Take you away, don't you cry you'll sever the love
Don't you cry you'll sever the love.
Don't you believe in what they say
believe in what they say
believe in what they
leave in what they
believe in what they say 'bout me
Hey, do you need a reason?
Is there a separate season
From which to come out of the spring?
I'll wait all summer long
And the the winter's long
Then it's longer than after
I don't need a timekeeper, I don't need an interlocutor
And baby, you look a little cuter day by day
If you need a trademark for your sound you better look around
Treat her like a woman, not a door
And we'll get some more
Yeah, yeah
Hold me off and run
Maybe I could be a squirt, loosen up your magic dirt
Waiting for the excellent coming of age
Maybe then you'd squirt along, squirt along, squirt along
So what you want to do?
So easily fooled ya, she got to marry me
I know she got to marry (don't do it!)
You got to marry me
And you got to marry me (no!)
Marry me, grow up and marry me (I won't!)
Sweet sisters of London, and Brixton
Hey, just on some respects
I might be enough to cover you up and hold you down
Wrestle you up, run, run you around
Blink at me once and you might see the color is red
Blurring up your eyes and your head
And listen to the water when you're down to come up to the beach
That's hull
Coppertones and second homes, everybody needs a home
Take centuries to build and seconds to fall
I waited so patiently for you to fall!
But you never, ever fall, whoa
So easily fooled you
Oh so, so, so easily fooled you
So easily fooled, oh so easily fooled
Our God, is an awesome God
He reigns from Heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God, is an awesome God
He reigns from Heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God
You're marvelous and You're glorious
You're love has made me victorious
You took away the fear in us
Now we praise You, 'cause You, You delivered us
There ain't no stoppin' us
(Naw)
Devil, there ain't no blockin' us
(Naw)
Come on and clap your hands with us
Like this like that
He reigns, He reigns, He reigns
I am the only one searchin' for you
And if I get caught
Then the search is through
And the stories you hear, you know they never add up
I hear the natives fussin' at the data chart
Be quiet, the weather's on the night news
Empty homes, plastic cones
Stolen rims, are they alloy or chrome?
Well, I've got style
Miles and miles
So much style that it's wastin'
So much style and it's wasted
So much style and it's wasted
Now she's the only one who always inhales
Paris is stale and it's war if we fail
And in the migrant hotels, they never sleep
They never will
Their souls are crumblin' like a dirt clod
Hold- your cigarette cuts to the inside
Empty homes, plastic cones
Stolen rims, are they alloy or chrome?
Well, I've got style
Miles and miles
So much style that it's leavin'
This pattern's torn and we're weavin'
This is dedicated to Nick Cave
On the fourth of July
in the dark of the setting, setting suns
all the jam kids came out
for they knew they had a leader
they knew they had a new man
God plagues you when you look at me like that
I'll leave you for a dollar
it's all I need to get on my way
on my way home
I said I'm leaving
try to break me
lies won't break me
my heart is a carriage
and my soul is the horses-s-s-s
Do you think that I might phone
is the answer to your question
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, etc
I imagine my Christmas is not like your Bar Mitzvah
light the candle, light the candle, burn out
Don't expect it when it goes wrong
don't expect much, and if it goes wrong
they will say you're the one
and your snout is like an elephant's trunk
when I'm naked I like to wrap
my harvesting piece around it
would you like my harvesting piece
it's a special, special piece
and I wear it for my niece
such a cute, cute little kitty
playing with her mittens
why don't you
I knitted them for you
it was a private, private gift
did you tell your mother
if she hears about it
she'll feel bad, yeah
Christmas (?)
don't make no sense
December, December Jew
December, December Jew
Greetings, spent day riding forklift
Mother says NO.
Can't I for forklift me?
Want it because I need money and
work time is my life not hers.
But what does it mean
? Cash? sweating and puking
This is just a bunch of?
You can try again later
Pay Me.
But of course work sucks,
so spend week in Nevada
dancing with old lady
full of nickels
full of nickels and dimes.
Makes me tired, lose myself,
lose my cash
but get REAL DRUNK.
And then when I'm drunk I go over to dealer
Bobbi from Iowa and say
"Hello Bobbi, give me something more than 21."
Nothing left back home with Forklift
Driving past boss Kramer
Age 24, Delta High Phd.
"Say Mr. Kramer, tired of work,
let me poof this forklift,
let me puff this forklift."
this i ask: that you serve as a forklift too.
Blind date with the chancer
we had oysters and dry lancers
and the check when it arrived we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch
a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emery board is giving me a rash
I'm flat out
You're so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don't move
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
of the sequel to your life.
A shady lane -- everybody wants one
A shady lane -- everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's
everybody's god
The worlds collide, but all that we want is a shady lane
Glance, don't stare
Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs
No, not me -- I'm an island of such great complexity
distress surrounds in the muddy peaceful center of this town
Tell me off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the
over-friendly concierge
A shady lane -- everybody wants one
A shady lane -- everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's
everybody's god

La nuit est tombée dans l´hyper-espace.
Le temps a passé,

Mais savait-on encore ce qu´il veut?
Speak, see, remember
The crimes it took to get you through
Deadbeat december
There's blood in the butter
The kitchens are closed for the holidays
You know that I've got to say
There's been a lot of talk
Since you're on to me
On daddy on
To find in the fishes,
The creatures, the air
Been hangin' around
God loves ya, but what could he do?
Yeah, wha wha wha wha wha what could he do?
Passion and a lovin' suggestion
Gonna send ya into somebody's icy arms and now
Graphics will do the deal justice
it's a can't lose
Only two times or three or four or more
To find in the love in the creatures the air
You're hangin' around
God loves ya, but what could he do
Quit hangin' around
God loves ya, but what could he do
The terror twilight
It all to get down for it
The terror twilight
It all to get down for it
You're hangin' around
God loves ya, but what could he do?
Quit hangin' around
God loves ya, but what could he do?
Buy now!
Develop the coast and raise the sight lines
The oceans moving out
And someday
Develop the coast and sell the air
You know if we could we'd sell the air
Stand back!
Expansion is what we do the best
I don't see the grass and the fields
I see an epicenter with agendas
And you're aware they must be next
I hope you're aware they must be next
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
The infrastructure rots
And the owners hate the jocks
With their agents and their dates
If the signatures are checked
You'll just have to wait
And we're counting up the instants that we save
Tired nation so depraved
From the cheap seats see us
Wave to the camera
It took a giant ramrod
To raze the demon settlement
But high-ho Silver, ride
High-ho Silver, ride
Take another ride to see me home
Listen to me! I'm on the stereo, stereo
Oh my baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
Gave me malaria, hysteria
What about the voice of Geddy Lee
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
(I know him and he does!)
And you're my fact-checkin' 'cause
(Aww )
Well focus on the quasar in the mist
The kaiser has a cyst
And I'm a blank want list
The qualms you have and if they stick
They will drown you in a crick
In the neck of a woods
That was populated by
Tired nation on the fly
Everybody knows advice
That was give out for free
Lots of details to discern
Lots of details
But high-ho Silver, ride
High-ho Silver, ride
Takes another ride to make me
Oh, get off the air
I'm on the stereo, stereo
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
Open call for prison architects
Send me your blueprints ASAP
Stack the walls such that I cannot breathe
Man is breedin' forever, because of the weather I hope soon to leave from
the east
No more absolutes, no more absolutes
Stick your penitentiary clothes inside the vent and run along, Leigh
Amateur seasalt gatherers colonized
They're good enough for Conrad Hilton, not good enough for my eyes
I trust you will tell me if I am making a fool of myself
Man is breedin' forever, breedin' forever, they come out and blister the
Lip balm on watery clay,
Relationships hey hey hey
You kiss like a rock
But you know I need it anyway
Angle for the ringside seats
When they fall
Don't blame me
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
How you gonna teach him to walk
When he can't even finish the
He can't even finish the songs of the law
Are they civilized or satanist?
Cater to my walls and see if they fall
Don't leave me
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
They wear you down sometimes
Kids like wine,
Magic christians chew the rind
Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let's let'em in
Darling we're up against it
And there is no time for
Tie-ins tie-ins tie-ins go!
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
Bring on the Major Leagues
They'll wear you down sometime
Kiss the wine,
Magic christians chew the rind
Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Everybody's goin out tonight
And everybody's hangin out tonight
It's alright
Listen to them
Show when they learn how to lie
You can sing along with them if you try
[ Laughiza ]
Holdin the spoken world up
I need it. I need it. I need it. [ ]
She's got a neck like a Saturday paper
You read it fast before the Sunday mass
Take it back it's nothing
it's nothing like it talks
Don't listen to me baby if
you wanna survive
You did it you did you did it wrong.

Collapse
Its evident to me
Tonight
All the friends are strangers.
I'd like to take my story
To some place the don't know me
Creatures come out of the bars
Talk is small but you talk to Paul
Sold sex on Bird Cage walk
Boys are drinking and on the docks
Union man. I'm your friend
I need you when you listen to me
Weigh sand Buy Sand glass track
Closing off close off close off
Opec dreams stock market
close on the rock
And roll scale
Stereo
No more partridge family
dreams to the home land
? liar
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
? ah come on, let's go
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
yeah baby i've lost?
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
everybody looks like
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
when you lay that down with an eight-eight track, everybody laughs
but they don't know what you're sayin'
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
? i guess if not...
(i can see, i can see, i can see, i can see)
keep it under your best friend's arms [x9]
there is no castration fear
in a chair you will be with me
we'll dance [x4]
but no one will dance with us
in this zany town
chim-chim-chim, sing a song of praise
for your elders, they're in the back
pick out some brazilian nuts for your engagement
check that expiration date, man,
it's later than you think
you can't enjoy yourself, i can't enjoy myself [x2]
move that swing and
watch it break strafe like an arc
but i won't be there to leave you ah-ah-ah
'cause i don't have a clue anymore
maybe we could dance [x3] together
together
together
together
first time you'll see
and then you'll be
five times forever
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
Imagine if you were Herr Barockter
Alias and nobleman
Son of son of sky, and of scion
Part of his rich inheritance
Parceled and generous divorce
Sentence forthwith being
Certain blocks of land
And living quarters deemed
By all gentlemen
And wives thereof
To be grossly humane
And frankly, quite un-dirty
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
Herr Barockter
In his enviable good taste
Tries quick escape gambit
Via local periodicals
But no takers land an enviable station
In the conduit between two selves
A veritable no-man's-land
Array of the flophouse cardboard materials
And carbon-monoxide wallpaper
All his brig-deck Torino boys ask
Is irrelevant...
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
Unable to bear the scandal, Ray, philanthropist
Rents low-down scab house in conduit
Herr Barockter offers said land for a song,
But no one wants to sing
In an attempt to retain social privileges
Yet mask it as goodwill
He says to the conduit members,
"Take this rotten old tree and make it bear fruit."
Cheers erupted throughout the thin settlement;
An Italian male was heard to say,
"Between here and there
Is better than either here or there!"
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try!
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
one trial down in Spanos County
ladies always turn up to watch them fall
and the hands they bind you
they bind you like you want to be broken
but the land is comin', babe
it's coming up golden
gold and silver streaks
when you hit them
you can't buy sand
in the gross land
don't say what to make 'em feel
they got take it off my wrists
Jacob you move up my wrists
Jacob you move.when you move
you don't move! you don't moooove!
alright i want a cigarette
all those trials and things they try to do
while wondering over why we're insane
harness your hopes
Harness your hopes
on just one person
because you know a harness
was only made for one
Don't telegraph your passes
You'll end up with molasses
cauterized in syrup
And syrup and molasses
And I'm checking out the asses
The assets that attract us
To anything that moves
We're deep inside the grooves
And it's time to shake the rations
cause someone's gonna cash in
The plot it turns again
The reference starts at ten
Well show me
A word that rhymes with Pavement
And I won't kill your parents
And roast them on a spit
And a-don't you try to etch it
Or permanently sketch it
Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold
And the freaks have stormed the white house
I moved into a lighthouse
It's on a scenic quay
It's oh so far away
Far away from the beginning
The shroud is made of linen
The yearling took the purse
The goth kid has a hearse
Heart-breaking
Earth-quaking
Kiwis they are home baking
Minds wide open truly
Leisure
A leisure suit is nothing
It's nothing to be proud of
In this late century
And I'm asking you to hold me
Just like the morning paper
Pinched between your pointer
Your index and your thumb
It's a semi-automatic
Believers are ecstatic
You see the way they cling
The cold metallic sting
And I'm living in a coma
For Donna de Varona
The harness made of hopes
The lovers on the ropes
Nun is to church
As the parrot is to perch
And my Heart's
Capistrano swallow, answer to your inner voice
and please return,
God installed that radar in your pointy little beak
so you'd return.
Epileptic surgeons with their eyes x'ed out
attend to the torn up kid.
salivate and reckon with all the sick things
that you did.
The secondary stumbles cause the cadence of the count
has lead them astray,
Pray their intuition leads them crashing into bodies
in a perfect way.
But I, I saw you reeling in a parking lot,
I, I saw you rallying round a parking lot,
Line up for the comfort and kick it on the bumper,
Know (no?) there is no leeway
you're standing on the freeway in love,
Motion, you were destined for the paupers grave.
Architecture students are like virgins
with an itch they cannot scratch,
Never build a building till you're 50
what kind of life is that?
Stalled out on an escalator
wishing which way to return up or down,
My Palestinian nephew got his face blown off
One, two, three, four.
Cardiac kid, kinda like it, kinda like it, cardiac kid don't go.
Chronological on all your friends
first you'll cause accidents
raise the roof
make us tense
follow through to the ends
and we'll rip the heart out from the defense.
The lion reaps his own reward
Serengeti nightmare for the echo tour
you're a nice guy and I hate you for that
thanks to people like you I'm no longer that
Mandrake versus the snake,
I got it on the camera for posterity,
of my stolen wild orchids got cut,
see those Sherpas sherpin (chirping?) from the autobus.
It's got the right to sit on that face,
well it was put here for me because I am great,
I've got the right to sit on that face,
everybody look at me and my wonderful place.
Patty, patty, patty you're so catty,
and it's not fair because I like to doody doddy do,
Catty, catty, catty you're so patty,
and it's unfair cause I like to doody doddy do with you,
and it's unfair cause I like to doody doddy doody da with you,
sunday driving past your own hall of fame
it's closed on weekdays, shut for good
pick out no one when you're talkin'
felt like rattlesnakes were walkin'
no one has a clue
the parting shots, the thin caught
fault line dancing across the frigid air shafts
a spastic grass, a criminal's child
count to ten and read
until the lights begin to bleed
lights; til you actually a-see the rays
and your thoughts they start turning
tells you lessons that you're learning
no one has a clue
the gauzy thoughts of those dirty scots
wrestling with the elements up on the trail high
i need to know
where does it go? how do i get there? what will i find?
(fun fun fun, fun for the summertime blues)
I'm just waiting waiting for the baptist
That sad suck-off left me in damascus
I'm just waiting waiting for the baptist
That sad suck-off, that shit left me now
I'm just wasting, wasting all the black ticks queens way's rockers,
Enough to make your ears twitch
I'm wasting, wasting all the black chicks (tits? )
Some reddish sins, some grey - is it now???
I'm just waiting, waiting for a black jet
That fucker... ahhhhhhh...
That fucker left me now
That suck left me now
Child, don't you know I don't want to let you go

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, etc.
Billie and my friend the saint,
You're perfect in so many ways,
But you never looked hard
at a fetus in a jar
you never saw your mama change.
And this wonderland of spite,
Does not shine into your night,
Like widows are seen
As stigmatised beings,
Who ought to have second chance.
And hurricanes spin
Like debutantes in a trance.
Sue the fortune-teller,
Rue the rising tide,
General Washington,
patented that skull,
Throw him out.
Ship that hollandaise,
Feel the heart fell of touch
See the longer you tease,
The stronger the needs,
The highs and the fruit are long.
Up to the one a kid,
Call the bluff when the money's in,
You're a hungry matron,
And you are just what I need,
I was tired of the best years of my life.
Sue the fortune-teller,
Rue the rising tide,
General Washington,
Patented that skull,
