Tease
03:40
|
|||
|
I want something beautiful
I want something kinda' blue
sometimes I think what I really need
is you
Walkin' home my stomach felt like an empty bathtub
and the curses that I mumbled hit me like a poison
vicks rub
Like everything I ever knew was just a tease
The way she wore her hair like she just got out of bed
and shied away from the color of red
just went along with the natural vibe that
was in the air
Like everything I ever saw was just a tease
And the smoke don't make me wheeze
It's the air in this languid scene
I'm leaving out the front door
and goin' in through the back
I've got no idea how I'm supposed to act
Like everything I ever did was just a tease

Won't Let It
03:39
|
|||
|
It's loose, feel obtuse
they construct, I get fucked
Play Atari with a swami
you will find your electronic spiritual information
and darkness falls but the moon won't let it
Get a greeting card, point at the retard
but his drool is the wine of life
The climax comes on rollerskates
I will trip him cause he makes mistakes
and the ending comes but time won't let it
Little people sitting on little steeples
cry out, "here comes the parade"
but it's just another beating of the drum
and pound of the hoof
It's happened before so who needs proof
and prophets make predictions but madness
won't let em'

Right On
04:22
|
|||
|
Well the barns and the farms
aren't much to see
but when you're going by at 73
the rolling hills,
Right on
Where were you last night when we were gettin' down
to Miles Davis, dancin' around
Gettin' low on boilermakers
Right on
Well the snow is melting, I told you it would
Stick with me, it's all good
Right on
I went down on you
You went down on me
Open the door
what did you see?
You creep, aw, you creep
Right on
The beer is dark and the lights are too
It's one o'clock, I got lots to do
so I sit back and stare at my shoe
Right on

Little Engine Girl
02:14
|
|||
|
Can you watch it burn
or watch it overturn
will you take them back
or put em' in a sack
and you're drowning cats
in the river, though it seems
you're beginning to understand
Little engine girl
Will you wear that dress
and will you get depressed
will you go out tonight
or will you start another fight
and you blew a kiss
as he threw his fist
and you're beginning to understand
Little engine girl
You're turning the wrenches now
You're learning to do without him
Can you tell me since you've lost your man
where do I stand?
and I'm beginning to understand
Little engine girl

Change the Station
03:03
|
|||
|
Sometimes when I'm driving
I have a thought, oh wait
Change the station
six cups of coffee, a bottle of wine
things make sense for the last time
Sometimes I think if I just
had more fun, oh wait
Change the station
Sometimes I think if you'd
just get off my case, oh wait
Change the station
Six cups of coffee, a bottle of wine
what I would do, the things I would do
if you were mine

Sighin'
02:41
|
|||
|
Wearing a frown while I'm upside down
doing a headstand, waking up with bead head
Blood rushes, toilet flushes
forcing down the corn flakes and hot cakes
to kill the whiskey bellyache
I'm still tryin', but I keep sighin'
Well I show you my tongue
and you show me your birthmark
I kiss you in the wrong place
you put your hands in my face
but when it's in the morning
and the rain comes storming
I'll while away the day
playing jacks on your doorstep
paddy cake paddy cake baker's man
I can bake a cake faster than you can
roll it up and squeeze it, mark it with a B
for my baby

Wheelchair Wings
02:33
|

|
You don't dye your hair anymore
Where is the girl I used to know
You hide your secrets, forgot where they are
You only stay 'cause you don't wanna go
Thriftstore dreamer, your so possesive
when you don't have anything
You try so hard to make the same mistakes again
You love your control
Wheelchair wings take me home
You lie so very, very good
I almost believe in you
I know that's what you want me to do
I wanna let you down
so you can know how I feel
the part that cripples me
is that my disappointment's not real

I Could Never Love Her
03:05
|
|||
|
I come over in the middle of the day
I've got something to say
I see a face in your window that I hardly know
I guess I've got to go
and I could never love her because he fucked her first
Your life is a little drama
Everyday you call up your mother
I tried to get to know you
but I can't stand your friends
I guess this is the end
and I could never love you because he fucked you first
So you say you've got a new girlfriend
well I did too
You say her name is so-and-so, coincidence
so's mine too
You claim you got laid
but I can't boast the same
I guess he's won the game
and I could never love her because you fucked her first

Pants Down
04:02
|
|||
|
I am reaching, I'm reaching up towards
the wrong star
I am learning, I'm learning more
about who you are
What are you saying, saying so clever
your syntax is a bore
I'd rather watch, watch this feather
suspended above the floor
Dance in time to the hum
of the wings in my eardrum
I never wanted to be your buddy
I never wanted to be your pal
we always shared just like brothers
we always loved each other's mothers
Dance in time to the hum
of the wings in my eardrum
You're there with your pants down
I'm here floating around
You're there with your pants down
get up off the ground

Dead Elm Tree
02:48
|
|||
|
Just walk to a place
that I see far off
old white bark
against a summer sky
inhibitions leaking
pondering while I'm seeking
all the disease that came on ships
from the old world
to a new land
with no defenses or immunities
the beetles, the viruses, under the dead elm tree
We are the native sons
bred on this bloody earth
conquistadors by birth
search and destroy
microscopically
in keeping with the manifesto of destiny
all this I see under the dead elm tree
All the corruption of words
mistakes of the absurd
divine intervention
of heaven's ascension
the proof of pretention, I've heard
