I lose my grip when you get down mama
She stops so smooth and starts up up again
Some cellar door sure sounds ok
It's quite all right if we're not just friends no more
Heaven knows she's got to grind
Shame to waste such a pretty mind
Come subway spelunking with me
We'll find a cave where we both can stand to be
I lose my shit when you get down mama
She stops so smooth and starts up up again
Some cellar doors just sound all right
It's quite ok baby if we're not just friends no more
wont you come down here and close the door
i got something you should see
oh baby wont you follow me wont you
follow me under
follow me under
follow me under
follow me under

Scuttle
It
just got cold
very cold
when he said
what he said
how he said
toodaloo
break a leg out there
oh no
It's
been a mile
she goes wild
To the max
baby just relax
Shave a leg
do your thing
Get your payment
Oh no
Thats my bitter self
Scuttling away!
Live
Live a lie
Don’t be sad
You will cry
You gonna dive
down in your grave
After you play
all those games
Oh no!
Skies
In your mind
You can light
up everything
but we dictate
just how you play
Good for you
better for they
Oh no!
That's my bitter self
Scuttling away
Stars shining everywhere
diamonds in the air
Scuttle on away
Scuttle on away
Scream
out your name
Scream it loud
Every way
Every day
can't contain
All these things
you make me feel baby.
That's my bitter self
Scuttling away

When you wake up in heaven
Will you wait in line?
Seems I'm waiting all the time
When your life has been deadened
Will you feel fine?
Dull is just your state of mind.
Lest you have it all
Lest you have it all
Have a little fall down
right now baby come on
Have you come to an answer?
Is something always true?
Am I the only one who has no clue?
you act like forgiveness is something you own
but don’t you know just what you owe?
Lest you have it all
Lest you have it all
Have a little fall down
right now baby come on
Ew La La

Nothing Matters
04:11
|

I got robbed and I'm mad
But I'm not terribly sad
Just need to curse at the curb for awhile
I would call someone for help
But my phone is someplace else
Lucky I'm stranded in the middle of my friends
Drank my coffee, had a shot
Wandered through the parking lot
Reflecting on my screw ups of last night
If only I had gotten laid
There'd be no reason to complain
But I played fist full of dollars and lost em all
Good thing that nothin matters when you don't give a shit
It's so much easier to live like this
Wonder when I'll get on home
Bet ya my Grandma's gonna know
That I've been bad, bad, bad, bad to the bone
Wish I had a better way to cope
But the bars aren't open, I swore not to smoke
So I'm singin’ in the streets
And I'm waltzing down the road
Making big plans for my next blow out show
You know that nothin matters when you don't give a shit
It's so much easier to live like this.

To Be Loved
01:24
|
|||
Fast asleep and I tuck you in
move to the icicles running thin
warningless one falls down on me
something of my fate it seems
and you come rushing to my side
kiss my boo boo blood goodbye
tongue like a cat you cannot keep me from
your lips my dove you're from above
oh to be loved to be lost
and to get along when you lose what you had
souls so often collide
and fall apart
its all right
you can go right back to the start

I'm just a little moosey
and I'll eat my water weeds
The last thing that I'll be wanting is
another hungry mouth to feed
They build it, and sink it
and it happens all the time
I guess we'll just have to
build us another pipeline
I ain't much for destruction
unless it breeds corruption
these seismic senses do prescribe
volcanic greed eruption
My mountain melts so quickly
it's getting warmer every day
and each year, machinery
give us a bit of hell to pay
They build it, and sink it
and it happens all the time
I guess we'll just have to
build us another pipeline

Willie The Weeper
03:10
|

Folks have you ever heard the story of Willie the Weeper
His occupation was a chimney sweeper
He had a dreamin’ habit and he had it bad
Listen and I’ll tell you bout the dream he had
Dreamed he had a barrel of diamond rings and money
Mamas by the score to love and call him honey
Everywhere he went the people all would say
There’s the guy that put the B in old Broadway
So tell me what would you do
If you could have all your dreams come true
Well something tells me you'd lock the door
Like Willie the Weeper
And you cry for more
Met the diamond horse and caught the Picadilly
Told the people now that it belonged to Willie
Kicked it with the King of France and made him rave
Called him uncle George said you need a shave
Rambled into Paris on a golded wheel sleeper
Thats where the absinthe flows a little deeper
Make it to the big parade and got the ranks
Tipped the pageant queen a half a million franks
So tell me what would you do?
If you could have all your dreams come true
Well something tells me you'd lock the door
Like Willie the weeper
And you cry for more

Dry Me Out
03:38
|

Oh dry me out
Wet me again
This is the strangest place that I have ever been
You got the land
All colonized
From coast to coast with folks like you and I
Do you get scared
When they come to your land?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Then nothing goes to waste
The ocean's big
Gives you the creeps
But you still don’t know no secrets of the deep
And there's the moon
high above
I guess we'll go back when there is something else to do
Do you get scared
When they come to your land?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Then nothing goes to waste
And there's Mars
we'll get there soon
But is it because we're running out of room?
Oh dry me out
Wet me again
This is the strangest place that I have ever been
This is the strangest place that I have ever been
This is the strangest place that I have ever . .

Six Foot Skeleton
I got a six foot skeleton
Living under my skin
trying to get back out again
Chicka-Ra Chicka-Ra
I got a 9-volt battery
inside my chest cavity
see the way it powers me
Chicka-Ra Chicka-Ra
I think i’m paranoid
Don’t call the doctor
I think I’m paranoid
Don’t call the . .
I got a deadbeat mannequin
did not pay me rent again
I kicked him to the curb and then
Chicka-Ra Chicka-Ra
I got gadget in my glass jaw
Cuts me like a tablesaw
Chicka-Ra, Chicka-Ra-Ra
Chicka-Ra, Chicka-Ra
I think i’m paranoid
Don’t call the doctor
I think I’m paranoid
Don’t call the government

Hide and Seek
Less depressed
Overdressed
Unknown
Full of holes
Nature knows
I’m bones
Hide and seek and back to sleep again
Cloudy skies
Tell me lies
Foreclosed
Tides will rip
The listing ship
Down it goes
Hide and seek and back to sleep again
Hide and seek and back to sleep again

Oh the malign the malign in his eye
And his gun is set to kill
fight is right and blood is rain
War is war is pain is pain
Oh the malign on the screen on the screen
Why don't you say won't you say what you mean?
Why don’t you say what you say what you mean?
Could have thought of it before
no turning back now
and it's a little late
Oh the design the design of the mind
and the love is left to wilt
fall and fall and break the ground
down is up and up is down
Oh the malign of the lies of the lies
and the money flows upstream
flows to drain a caustic rain
Could have thought of it before
no turning back now
and it's a little late

National Identity
02:54
|

She carves
out the names
on the wall
to stay sane
and the dust
that it makes
is now paint
for her face
And indeed
politely
he believes
all her dreams
until what
she can use
is not what
she has got
So you are a national Identity
It's border making
Please don’t be so closed off
A peaceful day
Is for the taking
She cries
out her eyes
and decides
to deny
that its one
one and all
from its rise
’til its fall
With a crutch
in her bag
and a tax
on the rag
its la luz
its the rain
its what flows
through your veins
So you are a national identity
Its border making
Please don’t be so closed off
A peaceful day
Is for the taking

I Live In A Bubble
04:38
|
|||
Piddle in the middle
of the floor
nobody's around
to clean it up
I gotta find a couch corner
to remodel
with the throttle on full
I'm a jungle bundle
Roughin’ up anybody
Soft or hard
wood or yarn
make it smelly
if it lives or lived
It belongs in my belly
tell me that I can't sniff butts
what's the point
Of waking up?
I live in a bubble
Guard the house
with all my might
I might just try
to rip the top off
the can with the turkey
and a tasty treaty meat buffet
how tantalizing
Cranberry gravy
and stuffing
just in time for
late thanksgiving
with a hair pin turn I
Flavor frenzy
and drag it down with me
I live in a bubble
Just like things
You find in a puddle
I'm a living breathing
Piece of the puzzle
In the rubble after
the pending disaster
Survival makes me faster
spoils of war
restore my wings
history gets blistering
Throw it away
Hole in the wall
Head in the ground
to hell with it all
I live in a bubble
