Words
02:27
|

|
Words are often wasted in the service of defense.
They stand in piles, on tiptoes of exclusion.
Plug their holes with smaller words of more unclear descent.
They lack the joints to solder their hearts to their feet.

to me you owe your lives to me.
I've got the toy that will kill the foreign market.
He's a little man, he's got a little plan.
He says, "You're an incident not an end."
His voice was made real in part by a grant from the State.
His arms move thanks to the tireless efforts of the Great and Wondrous Oz
but don't forget you've got me to thank because
He's got Three-ply Louis Vegas Eyes
Articulated torso copyright the trademark I-N-C
to me you owe your lives to me.
Because you've lost to me.
You owe your lives to me.
Your lives to me.
Your lies to me.

Funeral (in your mind)
02:13
|

You say it's over
You say you've got a funeral in your mind
You sit there stirring your black coffee.
You tell me that I've heard it all before.
You say it's never me who treats you like you want to be mistreated.
You say it's over
You say you've got a funeral in your mind

If the sky should make the seas boil
well, I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna jump right in and boil away my skin
and die
If THE LORD should decide to plague the world
Yes, rid us of the face of the Earth.
I'll breathe that plague right in and peel away my skin
and die
Yes!
Cause when THE LORD sayeth, "Come."
I come.
When THE LORD sayeth, "Come."
I come.

Natural Special Effects
01:42
|
|||
|
She's got natural special effects
She can make her face glow
She can make an echo
She can do a slow fade-in.
She could have glass skin.
Turn gold into grass again
Use a word like love without sound like an ass again.
She's got natural special effects.
And she loves me.
She loves me she
loves me she
loves me to a fault.

Positive Evil
03:30
|

|
It's not magic, just focus baby
how I mess with your life.
And a syntactic religion's a good thing,
tonight
So, if you're whoozy and you're looking for a bed
try mine. Try mine. Try mine.
Unless you're better off dead.
But baby that's just another way of lying down.
After all, after all
You put pressure on a joint, the whole thing falls.
We burn a bag and we have a ball.
Hepcat conjurer, positive evil.
I wouldn't do it, but I love you so.
I wouldn't do it, but I need your soul.
I couldn't do it, if I didn't sew.
Now you know
That when you take a spin around my room
it's spirits that move you
from incense flame and
not a couple of rounds
From miles away, I will spin you
all around the room.

Super Model
01:23
|
|||
|
She walks in a pocket with her young arms folded
Hands made for dirt wear short, brown gloves
Time was glories until we found out it was watches
Grow up to the sun where any good god would ignore us
Jesus always had to find a way into the last laugh
All I want is a new girl
Time was glories until we found out it was watches
Grow up to the sun where any good god would ignore us
I have angst to stop a tank
and I have yet to see dollar one
These are crimes of dreams of rhymes
and I just want the love of a super model.

Sunrise
03:34
|

|
Whether the rain wore
the faint child of sunlight
The headlights of the train
in the windshield
The crash and then the sound
meets the audience on the way.
Sorry we can't
come to the phone
right now we're so awfully busy
We're finding a way
to keep the clouds up in the sky
Keep them solid
through the buildings.
The shadows fill themselves in
like blood rushing up from underground
all over this dark world
the sky went all blue and
then suddenly it was morning
and the birds sing their simple songs
and birds are dumb so the words are probably
something like,
"Sun is good. Sun is warm. Life is good."
With all the suffering in the world.

and aside from these people, I am utterly alone.

Well he's laying on the sidewalk outside
Just up and died
It's sad, I don't know
So take your snaps and go
Well, he came to see the band
He saw them, now he's gone
Go and check 'em out, my man
'cause they're still on.
Well, the way it works in this town
you're up and then you're down and
there's a million little ways
that you can get there.
I swear I'm outta here,
by this time next year
I'm gonna go some place
where they keep the stars up
in the sky
On the other hand I can deal with sun
and any day I could land me a big deal
and the beach is fun
Any day now I'm gonna be a star and
I can run as fast as Dean. Do you
see what I mean?
If I go
I'll stay gone.
If I stay I'll die
on the front page

Al is for always
Al walks the Always
And the ways of Al are Always
Al ways the moral value of
shooting his wife in a ditch
and it almost always weighs heavier
than the load he currently
shoulders across the Always.
Al waves over his shoulder but
always looks at his feet.
Always is for Al.

HH-39
03:21
|

|
I may not be worth very much right now
but bury me in the ground for 10,000 years
then dig me up and see
I bet someone then would pay a million dollars just to look at me
Although a million dollars then won't get you a nice cup of coffee,
I will be happy to take my place in history right next
HH-39 the key to Southwestern dendrochronology.
Take a nice boy and bury him in the ground
Put him some place where he can be found
Dig him up and cut up and count his rings
Trade him in for anti-gravitational things.
HH-39 is the key to Southwestern Dendrochronology.

Disappointed
02:14
|

|
It's a silly way to get you out of my mind
but I feel like watching paint dry.
I know that a woman's duty is to keep her man on edge
but I'm just not feeling up to it tonight.
And you are gone and I could care more
if I really put my mind to it.
But I'm not disappointed in you.
I just don't want to love you.
Now I don't think that love is all that hard to find
It's just that it would force me to admit
that I screwed up and out of this whole wide world
I had to pick a pain in the ass like you.
But I'm not disappointed in you.
I just don't want to love you.

Sunmaker

He treads on stars
Makes more in bed
A million lights
fade all the points in heaven.
I'll trade it all
for a king size
My soft machine
for spinning galaxies
Atomic Midas
King of flame
drowns the kids in gasoline
cannonballs into the sky
supernova fireflies.
LIGHT UP!
If sunmaker stops swimming, sink and drown.

Oh, won't you go
to sleep and
lay your head
beside me
and tell me
you love me
Tell me
you love me so
that you
could never leave
without me.
Tell me
you love me.
Tell me.
She lies so
still she lies
so still she
lies so still
The day that somebody stole my heart
I filed suit against the world.
I'm a sucker for a lawyer with a nun's face.
We settled out of court and now
the government must recognize that
I have been crippled.
Crippled.
Crippled.
Crippled.

She's the kind of girl who'll
put junk up a godly man's arm
and she swears it won't hurt
and she's right
Then you feel it explode in your brain
and you could swear that it's raining
You'll swear that it's raining
inside.
I'll let her fill me up with anything
She could do anything
and I'll let her do everything
Don't need to walk and I don't need to sleep
She does all of my breathing for me.
And every day feels like it's snowing
every day it feels like rain
But you know I'm never going
to be cold ever again
She's the kind of girl who'll hold you
till you're sick with that disease
and this fever's like dreaming
This fever's like dreaming
you've died.
I'll let her fill me up with anything
She could do anything
and I'll let her do everything
Don't need to walk and I don't need to sleep
She does all of my breathing for me.

Digs out organs all the time

But not where they should may-be
This Warren shit's a Specter hangin' all over your life
Now he runs himself for President in 1995
Over my dead body says

I'm dreaming of Zapruder and
I'm jerking front and back

This is my finalé rack
I shoot it off so high
You say it's just another blast
but you can kiss all that goodbye
These are clues that tell you
it's the powder on your skin
and the little brain inside you,
deaf and blind,
these are the signs:
The sun coming out at night
Thunder and your head's dry
Take a taste of me, and it's a match.
Everyone else smiling,
Why not you?
Are you the only one not laughing?
Look up and now surprise.
What the hell are those things rising?
They leave trails when they leave the ground that you can follow.
They leave trails when they leave the ground that you can see.
They leave trails when they leave the ground.
They leave trails when they leave the ground.
They leave trails when they leave the ground.
They leave trails when they leave the ground.
So so so, you should'a known it was gonna to blow
cause that's the way it goes, that's the way it always goes
You should'a known it was gonna to blow
cause that's the way it goes, that's the way it always goes
You should'a known it was gonna to blow
cause that's the way it goes, that's the way it always goes
You should'a known it was gonna to blow
cause that's the way it goes, little man always explodes.

She's the whore who loved the war.
The war it loves a whore.
That's what whores and wars are for.
For the glory of the Lord
so that we can all afford
all the things that we've adored.
She's gotta move to let the lead come down
to bring all the blood down.
all the way down.
For the glory of the bored
to the chairman of the board
I can't love what I've ignored.
For the whore who loves the war.
The war it loves a whore.
That's what whores and wars are for.
We're building our future from

The Last Place

Well there she is
writing in that book again
Spilling pages I watch from over there
She's so bright and
I am so blinded that my eyes just open wider
I can hold her tight from here.
There, somewhere
running in this big house, kickin' plants and crushing china
all my friends are lost for now
but I'm found
I just found flesh again
it's wrapped all around me and it's pointed one way.
You
can think for so long
till you feel everything the
ice against the glass and
the glass against my skin and
I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Well, there she is
writing in that book again, but
the noise alone here blows the pages away
This time I'm gonna tell her something it's
all distortion but
it's coming from me.
You
can feel for so long
till you think about everything. Now
I can't write it down and
I can't sound it out.
Here we are
I'm still here.
And here is not the last place I belong.
Here is not the last place I belong.
Here is not the last place I belong.
