WORDS

HEAVEN IS FOR WIMPS

If you let go, where would you go to?

I thought you knew,

I thought you might have guessed it.

'cause Heaven is for wimps. Heaven is for wimps.

I thought you knew;

I thought you might have guessed it.

It's not your movie, not your show, anymore.

I thought you might have guessed it.

You think she's hot, but don't park your car in the wrong lot.

She's not buyin' what you're sellin' anymore,

she's got the pedal floored,

it's gonna get crazy, right now...

I think you're goin' down

with the moon into the ocean,

falling asleep...

HANGOVER (the Goth Song)

I saw you standin' in line

For so long, standing in line

With your watch ticking in time

&&overflowing your mind

hey! don't you know, it's a young world

and filled with time

filled with time

There are old rules

But none of them are ours

'Cause this is an old old world

And it's running down

And it's filled with flies and clowns

And it's filled with toys

toys and twisted joys

twisted joys

hey! don't you know

it's a dumb world

it's running down

slow down

stay in bed

that's okay

ALL GIRLS SURVIVE

& when she's driving thru the snow

& creatures clamber thru her hair

you sit alone

and think you know

you'll think she's dead

but don't despair

cause some girls drown

& some get hard

some slow down

& some retard

it's hard to lose

and so many do

but now all girls

survive like you

the motels flicker in their flies

& tattoo daggers they love their moms

& chainsaw killers brutalize

but for now this world is never wrong

cause some give head

& some get wed

some pray for jesus

& some for bread

it's hard to live

and so many die

but now all girls

everywhere survive

TREES

I'm goin' up in the trees

and I'm never comin' down

ever again

I'm goin' up in the trees

and I'm never gonna touch the ground

ever again

but I'm gonna climb

as high as I have to

I'm gonna climb

as high as I have to

to forget, oh...

You're so beautiful, oh...

I'm goin' up in the trees

and I'm never gonna see your face

ever again

I'm goin' up in the trees

and I'm never gonna kiss your lips

ever again

I'm gonna climb

as high as I have to

I'm gonna climb

as high as I have to

to forget, oh...

you're so beautiful, oh...

and I'm goin' up in the trees.

MERMAN FIREBOMBER

merman firebomber

shadows shock the moon

is explicitly denied

while your life and wife are white

the sun goes down

before it goes down

please remember

everything goes down

once in a while

frightened by the sunside

climbs into the trees

distracted by the leaves

swan dives into the sea

still wired, though mired

yet your life is much admired

you'll elicit some applause

for escapes from razor claws

the moon goes down

before you go down

try to remember

everyone goes down

once in a while.

BOOBY CITY

i'm drivin' thru to booby city

where the boobies are so pretty

i'm gettin down on lubricity

i'm a nylon-bloated kitty

but i'm a clean machine on my routine

needing surgical steel serene queen

i'm drivin thru to my university

no more no more ignorant perversity

i want a high-class babe in a tube top

i want some postmodern ass for my blow pop

cause i got a motor in my brain and its running

it's running got a motor in my brain and it's running

it's running cause I'm a biotech wreck with an engineered neck

and i'm a nuclear fuck, and my life is stuck

and i got a motor in my brain and it's running it's running

got a motor in m brain and it's running it's running

got a motor in my brain and it's running running running away

MOON BLUES

moon blues

astrological news

your gold stuff

obsolete

sink the brash

slime for cash

no arcs of wind

shine clear

moon blues

pulsar cues

your orbit tows

seer's curse

water blurs

lunar spur

so haunt remains

&coins rain from the sky

I KNOW

well i know

you got a terrified soul

it's a burning car on a bed of coal

and I watch the rattlesnake slide into its hole

you've got devils burning in your shimmy and kick

and the liquor & stick

only makes you sick

but you're too young to want to die.

well i know

your tongue burns like fire

it's an empire state building elevator wire

and the crows land upon your slippery neck

now don't you forget

i'm your ice cold bed

i'm your red moonset

but you're too dumb to want to die.

LIQUID MONSTER

don't wanna be like my dad

don't wanna die inside my head

don't particularly like being sad

or spend my time feeling bad

so keep that liquid monster away from me.

don't wanna give up on love

or pray all day to a ghost above

& I know things are gonna get rough

perhaps we could be strong enough

but keep that liquid monster away from me.

keep that liquid monster away from me.

PARANOIA IS YOUR FRIEND

all the dogs are barking

all the cars are parking

I don't care

I don't care at all now

people kill each other

just to prove they're there

but I'm not there

so I don't care why should I

once you told me that the things worth keeping

were not visible, visible

once you told me but I don't believe it is that

paranoia is your friend

your friend

your friend
