Fingernail Stew
04:11
|
|||
dirty skirt and long black stockings, no expression on your face
say wait here for just 15 and then you'll show me what i like
it's kinda hard to kick your high heeled horse around w/o any leg space
we've been in back of this car for an hour now you really know what i like
a 12 gauge shotgun and a taste of fingernail stew
ooo baby's got a new disguise, she's all up over you
say leave the blues on for a bit it sure fits w the colors you have on
she wouldn't change a second of me, no sir, not at any given price
sure glad that the beat's been walked and tonight is being passed along
i'll see you with your dirty black bandana giving jokers legal advice
with a 12 gauge shotgun and a taste of fingernail stew
ooo baby's got a new disguise, she's all up over you
i think it's best not to think a third occurrence over once or twice
sure caught up in the things you forbade in the domino parade
falling over her best foot as she runs from the streets crawling w mice
and after i think it over a forth time i really think i should have stayed
don't really know whose fault it was but i never should have played
with a 12 gauge shotgun and a taste of fingernail stew
ooo baby's got a new disguise, she's all up over you
to think i'd rather fade away, i know i love you more
to think i'd rather fade away, i'll make you love me more

Save Your Love for Me
04:57
|
|||
save your body, save your mind
i get going and you say well what'll i do
if you mess with someone knew then it's shoe fly shoe
but if your heart's still in it
save your love for me
my head's a tambourine, my kidneys filled with stones
and if your voice begins to irritate i'll need to be alone
but don't you take it the wrong way
save your love for me
ooohhhh, this world's a curmudgeon
save your love for me
i don't want any heart attack i just want to relax
and if you want my head up on a stake just unlock and detach
first there's something out in the distance and it's so amazing
yeah it's so amazing
i hate pressure, i hate responsibility
i always show up late and it takes me so long to leave
but if you're willing to accept my flaws
save your love for me
oh yeah i forgot about the jealousy
and how angry i get for only reasons i believe (perceive)
there's so much trouble brewing, meanwhile
save your love for me
ooohh, this world's a colonoscopy
save your love for me

Antibiotics
04:55
|
|||
you're a painful hangover me like clouds
we're on dopamine, benzedrine, cigarettes and caffeine
and the women chase tail but that's just squirrel
we get off milking cows cuz we're ripe to arouse
if you put your hand on my knee i might writhe in ecstasy--
see you when we get off the plane and hold hands to stay sane
cuz catch 22s run amok through my veins
we'll enlist, we'll clench fists, we're polite in the day
but at night we lose our cool and prove points to be right
we're on pain pills and cheap thrills and thorazine and chlorine
don't we treasure our addictions to our (l)awful prescriptions
if the dog wants to bite he might get put to sleep
but that's lickety split to the person she bit
we're alright to arrest, pumping slugs in our chest
you beat us into pulp just to eat us
raw and unfair but who cares, we're unaware
we're all wonderful products of our antibiotics

hey, we could walk for hours
procreate like flowers
then walk for 3 more hours
hey, we can join the struggle
squeal like pigs when we snuggle
rub our blood on the walls
and your doctor's not right and your mother's not home
i was fixing you dinner with a telephone
well alright, i'll be at your window tonight
hey, we can shine like pennies
hot off the press
you wear that dress i'll do my best
hey, we can make excuses
make each other nooses
and dangle from the pipes
and your sister's not right and your daddy's full grown
i'm a drop in the bucket, darling throw me a bone
well alright, i'll be at your window tonight
hey, we can take the a train
take the blessed a train
take the a train tonight

Muddy Wall
04:29
|
|||
all the time it takes to breathe
we could make the lava seethe
and hang on your muddy wall
we'll go fishing on the land
throw the line and hook a hand
and bang on your muddy wall
why's your wall covered with mud
why's your hair fizzing with suds
scrape off your muddy wall
in your hotel room you hump the witches broom and stir the pot
be as frank with you as ice
dice roll six and twelves is nicer
than your muddy wall
table cloth is stained with wine
getting drunk til you're benign
stuck to your muddy wall
words are great but action's nice
a bit secluded, paradise
down your muddy wall
in your hotel room you hump the witches broom and stir the pot
she loves, (she'll love you later on) she loves you, she loves you not

Carolina
02:22
|
|||
you've tattooed me with a match and a ballpoint pen
you left me with quite an impression
leaves that are brown all seem to glisten green
your name must be carolina
we are still young i hope
if we wait too long we'll choke
all the bad tastes in my mouth are a little bit sweeter
and all of my rage would never beat her
did i mention i wouldn't mind if you bare my children
oh carolina, you're a popsicle that never melts

Sexy
04:40
|
|||
love making's a wild guitar solo
your body's like the lay of the land
sex shaking up everything like earthquakes
nibbling like a llama from my hand
pretty soon i may start calling you sexy
pretty soon you'll call me the man
feeling so good, you're making me feel so good
i'm passing out flyers for my band's show
you're so hot i want you to go
maybe you'll dig it and want to get with me
maybe i'll never see you again
next week i'm at my friend's party
next week you're with my friend

I'll Eat the Moon 2
03:08
|
|||
can't you think fast
don't just drive past
i was the one
you were the two
we were the stars
i'll eat the moon
i'll eat your heart
hand me the spoon
madonna, madonna, your time has run out
you're a goner, a goner you've run the whole route
there's no groceries, no groceries in our kitchenette
i have starved over you for a friend's stupid bet
now i'm trying to go, yes i'm trying to go

Smile for Me
06:02
|
|||
the day breaks windows
i can feel the grass growing in my room
drenched in old perfume
ivy up the walls
your hair in the vacuum
the sky spits lightning
steeples caving in
flapping rooftop tin throbbing with the wind
seagulls crack clam shells
witches casting spells
marigolds, the soil will thread you through
peace on earth, the treads wear on my shoes
dull knife blades, ghosts leave graves
home sweet home, love sweet love
smile for me

The Mouth
02:40
|
|||
ooh la la la it's such a riot, why haven't you tried it
so much fun to be had bye all
chick-a-chick boom the lights knock the sight out of my head
and my eyes are bookmarking the back of my head
my head should be your trophy
you can sling it over your shoulder and hide your drugs in my mouth
sit quietly on the city of new orleans as we crawl down south
should i be sad or easy, i think i'd rather be easy
do you want me easy, do you really want me easy
aahhhh your chicken's warm and your mouth makes me sweat
(ooh wop your chicken's warm and your mouth it makes me sweat)
antagonize me
now let's go so, so electric, your mouth's so eclectic
you don't wear your lips on somebody's ass
chick-a-chick boom i feel like your privy to me also so pretty
how'd you get so electric
this is gonna get hectic when the landlord wants rent money
out of a fully intact me
but to be more headless and serious i hate you and mtv
should i be sad or easy, i think i'd rather be easy
do you want me easy, do you really want me easy
aahhhh your chicken's warm and your mouth makes me sweat
(ooh wop your chicken's warm and your mouth it makes me sweat)
antagonize me

gone is your long black hair
here's the money i meant to share
with you but i'll spend it, it's gone
like your long black hair
gone is your long black hair
songs about what was there
with you it was little else
than your long black hair
gone is that needle in my spine
here is what is mine
i bought something good but i lost it
like your long black hair
if she cuts it off i swore i'd call it off and i did
gone is the inhibition
going out, sleeping in, fishing
i caught one, it's big and it's dead
like your long black hair
gone is your long black hair
gone is that death defying stare
i'd win em over then they'd disappear
like your long black hair

Radio
02:59
|
|||
radio, you're tuned inside a bird cage
they'll sheetrock up your birdcage
and you'll be forced to wither away
everyone's alone
radio, manipulate the minutes
well, great things never finish
well, i feel i'm finished
everyone's alone
except when everybody wants the same fucking thing
radio, you're sucked by false feelings
that make you so unappealing
but you'll fall for it every time
everyone's alone
radio, look at who's around
well, all they want's to drown you
luckily your solution's electrocution
everyone's alone
except when everybody wants the same fucking thing

raise me high above your shoulders so i can see above the mountain
drag me deeper than the water so i can breath below the fountain
and push and pull and push and pull and pull and pull and pull
you can fill me with your dreams until i'm full
|
||||
15. |
||||
dancing in the shadows of the people we knew
laughing at the jokes they told and telling them too
and it feels like old times
even though old times are always through
talking to shadows who i knew
know i've been a bad friend and i haven't been in touch
seems all these new festivities are almost too much
and i want my youth back
and i want the best
talking to shadows who i knew

Facts
03:50
|
|||
mesmerized by the size of the sky on a mountain
wishing i was ok throwing pennies in a fountain
sacrificing my well being for a temporary feeling
waste your time on politics you'll get fucked in the asshole
spend your time in your mind, build imaginary castles
pretend life's alright cuz it disappears overnight
giving into temptation proves to be fulfilling
giving into religion will kill you if you're willing
faith is safe but real seals the deal
if you wanna run then run to me baby yeah
if you want some fun have fun with me baby yeah
if you give it to me then i'll give it to you
terminal diseases succeed stem cell research pleases
visitors deported or detained with legal visas
opinions are the terrorists and protesting is sisyphus
if you want your voice to be heard start a corporation
if you want a better world start with annihilation
nothing's gonna change as long as the roles remain
if you wanna dream then dream of my baby yeah
if you wanna scream then scream at me baby yeah

all she gave me was tonight
dressed in pitch black shades of white
oh little darling, don't do what's been done before
i'll leave the way i was when i walked in through the door
all her dishes have been cleaned
she reads books not magazines
oh little darking, i know i've been such a bore
i'll leave the way i was when i walked in through the door
she has god tattoo on her lower back
it makes me nervous she's a fanatic may i reword this
all she trusts is bound to fail
she doesn't like lou rees, she likes john cale
oh little darling, how could i possibly repeat myself anymore
i'll leave the way i was when i walked in through the door

(i scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream)
i have 32 sweet teeth for ice cream
but first a bow of soup would be just right
where can i go if i'd like both these items
where can i go afternoon or night
i was told of this lovely place in guilford
it's called 23 water street
i still have 31 sweet teeth for ice cream
i could sure go for another bowl of soup
luckily there's one superb place that's got em both
it's called 23 water street
