Sex Type Thing
I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too?
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity?
I know you want what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, I know, I know
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya somethin' that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress
Here I come, I come, I come

Creep
Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house
Guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time
Got no meaning, just a rhyme
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be
Feelin' uninspired
Think I'll start a fire
Everybody run
Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat
Then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing
Guess I'll leave it up to me
I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be
I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be,
Half the man I used to be

Plush
And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tommorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?
And I feel it
Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it

Vasoline/Interstate Love Song/Big Empty
Vasoline
One time a thing occured to me
What's real, and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the sasoline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flys in the Vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
You'll see he look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies, and you will
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things you can't see
Going bilnd, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

Interstate Love Song
Waiting on a sunday afternoon
For what i read between the lines,
Your lies
Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh or does it cry?
Reply?
Leavin' on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by,
All of these things you said to me
Breathing is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said and all that's dead for you,
You lied
Good-bye
Leavin' on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by,
All of these things I said to you
Big Empty
Drivin' faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigerette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today, no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait to long
to wait to long
These conversations kill
To much walkin', shoes worn thin
To much trippin' and my souls worn thin
Time to catch a ride
It leaves today, her name is what it means
To much walkin', shoes worn thin

Big Bang Baby/Lady Picture Show/Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Big Bang Baby
I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding and a shell
It's just a burning aching memory
I never kiss and tell
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know how the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash crash crash
I wanna die, but I'm gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Spin me up, spin me, spin me out
Station to station send me up and out
Is that what life and love is all about
I think I think so
We used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
It's only black and white
Because the world is colorblind
Nothings for free, nothings for free
Take it away boys

Lady Picture Show
Lady picture show, she hides behind the bedroom door
Lady picture show, she hides behind the bedroom wall
She hides because she don't know nothin',
don't know nothin' anymore
She keeps a funny face it's locked and bagged
It's just outside the door
She doesn't know her name
She doesn't know her face
She doesn't know her name
She doesn't know her face anymore
And don't believe
Lady picture show, she hides behind the bedroom door
Lady picture girl, I think them boys don't like your show
Lady picture show them boys are gone, should just say no
Your wedding presents not so daisy picture perfect anymore
Lady funny face it's locked and bagged
It's just outside the door
Don't know nothin anymore
Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Don't cut out my paper heart, I ain't dyin' anyway
Take a look at eye full towers
Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin' lemon booze 'ole' leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day keep on trippin anyway
I am I am I said I'm not myself,but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade
Fake the heat and scratch the itch
Skinned up knees and salty lips
I'll breathe your life vicks vapor life
And when you binge I purge alike
Let go it's harder holding on
One more trip and I'll be gone
So keep your head up
Keep it on, just whisper I'll be gone
Take a breath and make it big
It's the last you'll ever get
Break your neck with diamond noose
It's the last you'll ever choose
I am I am I said I'm not myself
but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go let me be just let me be

Down/Sour Girl
Down
Pleased to meet you
Nice to know me
What's the message?
Will ya show me?
I've been waiting
A long time, now
Now here's the answer,
You're all mine now
Yeah, I've been waiting
For my Sunday girl
Yeah, I've been waiting
For my Sunday girl, now
Will you follow me
Down now? Down now?
Will you follow me down?
Pleased to meet you
Nice to know me
What's the message?
Will ya show me?
The way down town?
Heaven and Hotrods
You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Tryin' to get to Heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
You don't get it, no, you won't forget
So you're better off just leave it alone
If you don't stop thinkin'
Soon you will be drinkin'
And you're better off just stayin' at home
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
Coming Down
Mom I'm still healing
Coming down
Oh, and I'm still breathing
Coming down

Sour Girl
She turned away what was she lookin at?
She was a Sour Girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you lookin at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
She turned away what was she lookin at?
She was a Sour Girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you lookin at?
She was a happy girl when she left me
What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do I follow?
Don't turn away what are you lookin at?
He was so happy on the day that he met her
Say, what are you looking at?
I was a Superman, but looks are deceiving
The roller coaster ride's a lonely one
I'd pay the ransom note to stop it from steaming
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me
What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do I follow?
The girl got reasons, they all got reasons
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
The day that she left me
She was a sour girl the day that she left me
