Beans

Beans beans beans
Jackie ate some beans
She was happy happy happy
And she ate some beans

Naked naked naked
Sitting cross-legged
Naked, naked, naked
And she was happy happy happy
And she ate some beans

Wine wine wine
Jacky had some wine
She was happy happy happy
And she ate some wine

Beans beans beans
Jackie ate some beans
And she drank some wine
And she was happy happy happy
As she drank some beans....

Blandest

You're my favourite
Of my saviours
You're my favourite
Oh no
Yes you're my favourite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no

Hey
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm           
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around 
To remind me when not to be calm
Calm, calm, calm

Born In A Junkyard


I'm long gone from vertical
Somewhere south is stopping me
I'm long gone from the american dream
You may decide it's not for me
I'm long gone but I'll let you through
You may decide it's not for you
I'm long gone, but I'll let you through
You may decide there's nothing there


Born in a junkyard x8

I'm long gone but I'll let you through
You may decide that it's not that good
I'm long gone but I'll let you leave
You may decide on stopping me
I'm long gone, but I'll let you through
You may decide it's not for you 
I'm long gone, but I'll let you through
You may decide there's nothing there

Clean Up Before She Comes


Clean up before she comes x5
Living in a dusty town x3

There's something in her eyes
Must be a smile from my mouth x2

Twenty months has it all (getting older)
I must be getting old (ate my vegetables)
I must be getting old (getting older)
I must be getting old (ate my vegetables)
There's something in her eyes
Must be a smile from my mouth
There's something in her eyes
Must be a smile from my mouth

Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty town x3
Clean up before she comes x3
Living in a dusty town

I must be getting old (getting older)
I must be getting old (ate my vegetables)

I'm starting to eat my vegetables

 

Curmudgeon

    
I can't hide, no

All I have grown

She's at the seams
She don't need x3
In the seam x3
She don't need
At the seams

I'm a lender
On a planter
I've set something
In the guard

She's at the seams
She don't need x3
In the seam x3
She don't need...

I want a lady
Can you save me
It's the sulfur

So run on home

At the seams x2
She don't need...

Straight as an arrow
Defect, defect
Not straight, not so straight

Ghostly image of fear

Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them

Do You Love Me?


You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And going to all of the shows


But
Do you love me
Do you love me
Really love me
Do you love me

You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars

chorus

You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the money honey that I make

chorus

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
From all of the magazines

Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...

Chorus x3

(underneath chorus)
Yes, I want to know
Yes, I want to know
Because I'm just really tryin' to tell ya
That... what I'm trying to say
Is what I'm trying to tell ya
And what I'm trying to tell is that I don't know
Cause I don't know what I'm trying to say
And what I'm trying to say is that I don't know
And I'm tryin' to tell ya
But I don't know what I'm tryin' to tell ya
Cause I don't say
I don't try to know
Cause I'm tryin' to tell ya 
What I'm trying to say
And I'm trying to tell ya
I don't know what I'm tryin' to say
what I'm saying is that nobody's saying

Fuckin' turn it off
Turn it off

Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip


It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
That you're only supposed to use once and then discard
Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend
My shyness, pet her flow

She's only been five months late
Even though we haven't had sex for a week
A ml a day, a ml, I say              
And my heart's made my....  

Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis
She was tied up in chains and Sam had helped her in the freezer

She's only five weeks late
And I haven't had a date forever...
Ever...ever...forever

Wish I had more...more opportunity
More chances to remember some things
So I couldn't have so much pressure on my...
On my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head. 
  

We'd have so much more diversity
And so much more input, so much more creative flow
If we had someone in school, a GIT
  
GIT...geeks...in...town
Ha ha...Come on Dave, think of one...
Girls in trouble
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC

Fuck, man, this is a waste of time
Ha ha
One more solo?   
Yeah... 
Yeah...

You're personally responsible for
The entire strip... 
To be washed away.... 
Cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
Flowed through the strip and were set on fire
It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight
And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom
And his...
Silk...
And he...he erected a beautiful city...
A city of stars

Help Me, I'm Hungry

  
Hold me, there's too much tension
Grade me, I'm fuckin' hungry
Help me, I'm fuckin' cornered
Grade me, you might be right

Lightning fucking around in my head
Fierce, dangerous, pathetic, fucked up
People freakin' every day 
White light's inside
What do you want? Huh

Cold, naked man, picked off his scabs, and
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's fuckin' cornered
Grade him, it might be fun

Lightning fucking around in my head
Fierce, dangerous, pathetic, fucked up
People freakin' every day
White light's in sight
I don't know

Hold me, something's happening
Help me, somebody help me
Hold me, I'm fuckin' hungry
Help me, I'm right here, who are you

Naked man, you say you saw
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's fuckin' cornered
Grade him, it might be fun

Lightning fucking around in my head
Fierce, dangerous, pathetic, fucked up
People freakin' every day
White light's in sight 
I don't know

Help me, I'm fuckin' hungry
Help me, I'm fuckin' up
Hold me, some fuckin' help
Aah...
Aah...

I Hate Myself And Want To Die

Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my fulfill 


In the someday 
What's that sound
In the someday 
What's that song x2

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger plaster-cast of the horse pills
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill

chorus  


(spoken behind solo)
Words are broken lives
Five pieces of board, turned around
attached to the skull by common wood screws
A child would like to do it

In His Room

He is gonna chase you in and out of a dream
You're not gonna thank him and I'm tired of this dream
Take him on occasion in the back of the room
If they don't show any affection he'll died in June

See the stab wounds in his hands
See him dying in his room
He's dying in his room
He's dying in his room
Heading for me, heading this way
He is coming, I don't care

I don't want to thank you, well I don't mind
Gave his only pleasures to a friend of mine
He's not gonna catch you in a lighted room
You don't thank him I know I should

See the stab wounds in his hands
You killed him, I don't care
Keep a promise, you would too
Keep a promise, you would too
See the silence in his head
He is coming, I don't care

We're not gonna make it, well I don't mind
They don't want to thank him, they don't have any time
In a conversation whom they don't know
They don't have any patience, they're becoming slow

See a famine in his head
See him coming at their heels
He loves you, give him a chance
I don't love him, I don't care
See him starving, give her hell
It is over, we don't care in his room

 

Marigold

He's there in case I want it all                
He's scared cause I want                        
He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want


All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold


He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared cause I want

The Money Will Roll Right In

I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good
I won't care how I feel, and I'll get to fuck Brooke Shields
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I want to be a star, I'm going to have a car
And you'll have to admit, I'll be rich as shit
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

I would give you some, if you only would have treated me nice
You'll wish that you did, you'll feel pretty stupid
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

It's fun to be a star, it's nice to have a car
Yeah, you'll have to admit, that I'll be rich as shit
And I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in

The money will roll right in

Oh, The Guilt

She seems to think 
She seems too week
She takes a week 
To get over it
She likes the sea 
She likes to see
She likes to think 
She has all of it
She likes the sound
She likes the sand
She likes to stand 
She can't afford to sit

She likes to be x3
She's into guilt
Guilt x3

She likes to think
She likes to drink
She seems too weak
She takes all the rent
She likes the time
She owns the time
She borrows time 
To self-invent
She seems too weak
She likes to see
She likes to think 
She has all the rent

She likes the sand 
She likes to stand 
She likes to sit
She likes to go
Go x3

She likes to be x3
She likes to go

Opinion


Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns
And it makes you sorry, our concern
And you set it up before it burns

My opinions Mmm Mmm x4

And there seems to be a problem here
And the state of emotion seems to clear
And they rise and fall like wall street stock
And they have an affect on how people talk

Our opinions Mmm Mmm x2

My opinions Mmm Mmm x2

Pay To Play - [take off of 'stay away']


Monkey see, monkey do (I don't know why)
Walk around, follow you (I don't know why)
Throw it out, keep it in (I don't know why)
Have to have poison skin (I don't know why)

Walk an inch, take a mile (I don't know why)

Pen Cap Chew

Ummm... once again
Ummm... mine x3
Ummmm...

You go, you give, you get, you get to me
All the years of tyrants such an easy way to go
You go, you give, you get, you get to me
Time to struggle and the scaling of fingernails

verse

You're lonely

Waste your time by saying he was gullible
Give up all additions in there where it's cold
Push that gate, it is the age of red eye shame
Protest swine, go to jail, the travesty

Two minutes slow...slow...slow...oh...

 

Return Of The Rat

You better watch out
You better beware
Coming from all sides of the country
You better beware


Return of the rat x3

No, no, no, no

You better confess
You'd better confess
Start to confess and see them through it
You better confess

Spank Thru

This song is for lovers out there    
And the little light in the trees
And the flowers have gingivitus
And the birds fly happily            
We'll be together once again my love
I'll get you back oh baby baby
I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
Living without you girl
You'll only break my heart

I can feel it
I can hold it
I can mend it                           
I can shape it
I can mould it
I can cut it
I can taste it                          
I can spank it
Beat it, masturbate it

I've been looking for days now          
Always hearing the same old
City boy won't you be faithful
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could

Spectre

To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected image                       
Don't be so selfish
Leave and manage

Follow it far
To find where you are
You haven't grown
Go on alone

Never finished his sentence
Remained in seclusion
For the next few days
Family is circuling
He having moved up                      
All the styles of heresy                
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company

 

Talk To Me

Shake it down easy, shake it down sleazy, come on, come on... 
Shake it down easy, shake yourself, Suzy, come on, come on...

Don't let me detain you
Try to ride along
Don't you lie knowing
I am not sitting
I am not seven
I am not shaving
I am not shipping away


Talk to me
In your own language please
In your own 
Talk to me
In your own language please

Shake it down easy, make it sound seamy, doll man, doll man...
Make it sound now, make it full house, sad man, sad man...

Leader of the band
Makes a mental hell
I won't whether it 
Well I never
Saw it with my arm
Paint it with my heart
Paint it with my eyes and make it right

chorus 

Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man....
Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man....

You don't want to hear this
Nothin' but a whore
I will play the leader with pain
Now you know I'm needy
Lay them down easy
Lay them down easy...

Token Eastern Song

I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
It's my greed, crease unfold
Is it me, or my ego...

Write some words, make them rhyme
Pieces for, assembly line 
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude...

Ahh.....


If you want, to belong
And you miss, the extremes
The extremes, act it out
Practicing, perfecting
Pressuring, undue me
Undue me, undue me
Uhhh...

I will wade, in the fire
To explain, your asylum 
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare, all our sightings, come on

Lost grace 
To hear
My voice

I can read, I can write
I can breathe, proven fact
This might be, recent clone
Is it me, or my ego...

Write some words, make them rhyme
Pieces for, story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me or my attitude...

Ahh.....

If you want, to belong
And you miss, the extremes
The extremes, act it out
Practicing, perfecting
Pressuring, undo me
undo me, undo me
undo me, undo me
undo me, undo me  
Uhh...
