Last of the Ghetto Astronauts

Alabama Motel Room

What is life if not a joke
one night she went out for smokes
and they took her apart like a rag doll
in the back of a van
in an Alabama motel room
I have one of them tied up in the bathroom
I am down and out
but he will not get away with it again

When the night comes in
I hope I'm out of the rain
When the night comes in
she makes me whole again

I never sleep, I just watch TV
and the gun, it lies next to me
whispering
in an Alabama motel room
I reflect on her sweet perfume
I am down and out
but they will not get away with it again

Say you love me
we will never get the chance again

Symbolistic White Walls

I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum, mom
nobody wake up there's nothing you could have done wrong
I'm wearing the same grin, I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I read
and sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's harder
sometimes it's on sale, sometimes it never fails
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
she says my destiny is turning out all wrong
so now I just sit here
and think of meaningful things to say

Symbolistic white walls
surround me and you
every single day
I am cheap and see through

I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum
nobody moves and nobody gets hurt for very long
I'm wearing the same skin, I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I hear
and sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's easier
and sometimes it's all free
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
she says inside of me is turning out all wrong
so now I just sit here and think of meaningless things to say

It's all right now
take the world and make it yours again

She's Got A New Disguise

Suffocate for me
well you can pretend that you're pretty
it's too loud in here for me to tell
I wonder when you move
do you look to see who's watching you
locked in the groove, little bird
what will it cost to buy you back
to buy your eyes, to buy your smile
well she wants to be the same
she wants a new name
she wants a new disguise

And all i want is you
all I want's the truth
she's got a new disguise
pull the shade and lock the door
you don't need it anymore
she's got a new disguise

suffocate for me, little bird
mirrors over your bed
god lives above your head, little bird
well I remember everything you say
everything you do, everything you always wanted
breathe for me, little bird

where is that face that you know

Native Son

Can you spare me a quarter
though I have no one to call
I just though it might save my ass one day
if the sky or the free world were to fall
this is the only thing that I can do
this is the only thing I know how to say
and when everything is gone
and the night it seems grow long
will you play this record anyway
there are a million ways to say it
there are a million lies to choose from
so don't look up
you might find that your head is stuck
no one's going to bail us out of this one

Every time I call your name
somehow I wish it was the same
for me and you and all the things we do
not in vain

Maybe I could give you a ride
though I don't really own a car
well it isn't anything so different
than living underneath a dying star
well this is what we all get up for
when all the clocks go out of time
cause nothing short of

war and death and money
will ever fucking change your mind
there are a million ways to die son
and there are a million places to choose from
so don't look up
you might find that your head is stuck
no one's going to bail us out of this one

Every time I call your name
somehow I wish it was the same
for me and you and all the things we do
not in vain
and whoo will kill this native son
who will learn from everything that we have done
and who will we get to stand up for tomorrow

Vermilion

Take me to the shore
and warp me in a blind tomorrow
I won't fight no more
and I won't scream
maybe we'll be washed away
maybe I just need a holiday

This time we'll get
a room with a view and a velvet painting
and this time we'll stay inside
until the lights go down
over the palm trees and the sand

Buy me the blue sky
and wrap me in clouds of blasphemy
in the end I won't ask why
you can do what you want with me
maybe we'll be washed away
maybe we just need a holiday

This time we'll get
a room with a view and a velvet painting
and this time we'll stay inside
until the lights come up
and everything's vermilion

Take me to the shore
and throw me into the water
I won't fight no more
no, I won't say a thing

Every Name is My Name

I made a movie about the end of the world
it was 12 seconds long and it didn't have a plot
it just happens
and that's why it's in black and white
the characters don't talk or move around
they just stare up at the sky, frozen
and the light, the light is numb, the light's off
the light is just a thumb nail sketch of god
god...
somewhere, someone is crying
the camera sweeps over a desolate street
holding a mother and her child
the kid is calm and she is shaking
the camera passes into the sun
come at last to be undone
panicking, she tries to run
the kid is calm
and then the credits rolls
and every name is my name

Haven't Slept in Years

Make me your animal
make me your freak and i will pack them in
it's understandable
after all you're only human
all this time it's been killing me
all this time it's been caving in my head
killing me
alive, alive, alive
you're dead

Haven't slept in years
haven't talked to anybody else

Make me your cannibal
make me your product and I will make you rich
it's still fashionable, isn't it?
all this time it's been killing you
aall this time it's been caving in your head
killing you
alive, alive, alive

Radio Bomb

Just slide the hood, it's nothing much
you be Starsky and I'll be Hutch
they'll never find out where we'll go
we can forward our calls illegaly to Mexico
you can be the sleeping cure
and i'll memorize subversive literature
and from our secret mountain base
we can broadcast all over the place

Radio bomb
the sound of freedom

We can launce a sattelite
so you can hear the day in the middle of the night
and the RLI and the FCC
they'll be driving around in their little undercover RV's
and they'll call us terrorists
they'll try to stop us in the name of government interest
from our secret underwater base
we are coming to you all over the place

Fearless

Is there anything that I need to say
that hasn't been said before
I have been polite for so long
why should i be anymore
better now than never, better loud than clever
better just to play the fool
it's times like this
when you just close your eyes and kiss
cause everything after this
is just bullshit and being cruel
so hold me up, I'm going out
and don't wait up, I won't be coming home

If you lay me down in concrete fields
will I dream of grass and opera
this is the sound and how it feels
to be dead

In the end, there will be fire and brimstone
and no one will be there to answer the telephone
you are the only one I'll miss
you are the only answer at a time like this
she is the trick of my trade
she is the thing that can't be made
she is gold and nothing less
and she is fearless
so hold me up, we're going out
and don't wait up, we won't be coming home

You hold it in your hand
you keep it in your heart
you hide it in your head
and you use it when you have to
she is the trick of my trade
these are the things that can't be made
stay yourself and nothing less
stay fearless

The War is Over

A man once told me that life was like a collage
he said there's nothing much to spies like us
just killing time, that's all
and there are spacecraft orbiting the earth
guided by 90 year old Russians that haven't heard
the war is over, how do you feel
and how have you been baby
well she got married and she had kids
and they fear sex and not the bomb
and the rest is just adlibbed
and me I'm waiting for something
that does not come
for something to crack
for something to go wrong
I'm inside out and I'd say

This is where we get off
this is where we do anything we want
and this is where I amuse you

A man once told me that life was like a collage
he said the truth is not radio friendly espionagev the war is over, how do you feel
and where have you been baby
well we got stuck and we got lost
between good-bye and the chemical sky
and a nuclear albatross
when I sleep, I see rain
when I'm alone, I am in pain
and everything is not the same
as on the big screen
I'm inside out and I'd say
this is where we get off

Raygun

Raygun

Shoot me with your raygun
Full of holes so the daylight
can get to what's dark
I remain trapped inside your body
The voice above your head
The hole inside your heart

Shoot me with your raygun
Full of night and daylight savings
Armor me with futile aspirations
The knives of many nations
A shovel and some dirt

Digging down you'll find you're old inside

So shoot me with your raygun
Full of holes and indignation
We've never been there before

Take me with you
To the place where everything is unsaid
I remain trapped inside my body
Wishing it was over

Shoot me with your raygun
Through the night so the daylight finds you
Wishing it was over

Shoot me with your raygun
Through the night so the daylight finds you
Wishing it was over

Digging down you'll find your old inside
So shoot me with your raygun
Full of holes of indignation
We've never been there before
You and me

Generation X-Wing

Venus was a fly trap
The man you loved devoured
I used to dream about your sister
Standing in the shower

But I was never cool
You thought I was a cowboy
I wonder where my gun is
Can you spare a bullet senorita?

I will always be the worst

Generation X-Wing
That's got to be the death star
I used to dream about the future
I used to dream about a lot of things

But I was never cool
So you can call me loser
Ya can call me anything
You want to senorita

I will always be the worst

Venus was a fly trap

So Long Mrs. Smith

So long Mrs. Smith
This spring I think that I should go

I have had enough of this
And this place ain't what it was before
When I was young nine thirty was late enough
And the sky was angel dust
A dead top trio of criminal saints
To worship at wongs
Would you say that we were wrong?

So long Mrs. Smith
This spring I think that I should go
I have had enough of this
I'm going down to Edison

Deep Six

Deep six come to bare good night
and take care
Who knows, maybe our luck will change

Polyurethane people live in the rain
Who knows maybe our luck will change

And I don't know

Pretend to know
Where you think you are

Big crash
funny car is
Where you've been where you are
Think fast and kill what you cannot change

Still though this is fun
Find a box
When I'm done
Who knows maybe my luck will change

And I don't know
I don't know
Pretend to know
Where you think you are

Deep six
Come to bare

Everything is Automatic

Miss my head
Miss my heart
Miss my lungs

Be what you want to be
Watch what you want to see
Killed for fun

Down a hole up a rope
Down some pills
Up some hope
This karma machine only takes quarters
New age soldier, New age soldier

Everybody's all right
Everything is automatic
Everybody's all right
Everything is skin deep me

Say, hey, say, hey, say how you doing

I miss my lazy boy
I miss my TV
I miss myself
Do you miss your lazy boy
Do you miss your TV
Do you miss yourself

Everybody's all right
Everything is automatic

Everything is skin deep me

And it's always what I wanted

Killed for fun

One day you decompose and you wake up
and those birds are singing

Apparitions

Say hello
Remain
Close to me
No goodbye suicide mystery

The rat in your brain
Turns a wheel
Connected to your guts and
All your thoughts are in me,
All your faults in me

What would you say
If we lived on TV
Besides all the things they told you

We're stuck
Inside our own machine
Apparations

Say hello
Well is it strange
Where you are
Where you used to be kind of free
Are they laughing at you

The rat in your brain
Rules the world
From the comfort of your living room
Tell me are we leaving soon

We're stuck
Inside our own machine

My Out of Style is Coming Back

Some days are short
Some days are longer
I sold my skin
I sold the skin that I am in for a plan

My out of style is coming back
I'm bored but I'm excited
Our out of style is coming back
We're bored but we're excited

Some days are more some days than others
I'll shed my skin I'll shed my
out of style is coming back
We're bored but we're excited

I tried but it failed me like
everything that's cool is cold in my skull
I tried but it failed me
living only to die dumb

My out of style is coming back
I'm bored but I'm bored but I'm
Our out of style is coming back
I'm bored and I'm crooked like everybody.

Strangest One of All

Hate deliver me
back into the shiny land of opportunity
where I have the name

I am melted down no smile action figure
man pop community cooler than cooler
than so bad I kind of felt I was the same

So glad you heard the strangest one of all
the strangest one of high fidelity lovers
in a low-fi land care facility
Where they own the name I am melted down

She pulls the strings
I move and Wham barely new
And we're cooler than, cooler than so bad
I kind of felt I was to blame
So glad you heard the strangest one of all

When will you see these things
In another way any other way?

Middle Class Gangsters

Ain't got no action grip
Don't come with a full compliment of weapons
Get of your illin' tip
I don't recognize anybody from around here anymore

And I don't want to be
Your punching bag
Are we losing
Are we middle class gangsters

Wasn't looking at your girlfriend
Didn't touch your mustang
When I was in the parking lot

What don't you comprehend
Well I'll speak slowly if you're on something
and faster if you're not

And I don't want to be your punching bag
Are we losing
Are we middle class gangsters

So put on british steel curse
Today and how you're feeling well
Everybody up and down my block
They used to matter

When we used to rock
And I don't want to be your punching bag
Are we losing
Are we middle class gangsters?

Rico

Rico was a short man
Wants to live
with a long haired girl
In cosa meda

Rip off fruit stands
And during the getaways
She will drive the vespa
He's gonna buy a parrot
That speaks her language

But all it'll say is
What are you doing with him
Let's take off
Everyone's got to be something

Me I'm garbage it's all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I'll say anything
You want me to

Let it play out
Buy the rights to endless love
If your friends don't like it
You can tell them from me to fuck off

Everyone's got to be something
Me I'm stupid
It's all I ever wanted to be

Shock me again and
I'll say anything you want me to
Everyone's got to be something
Me I'm loaded it's all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I'll stay, I'll stay

Prime Time Deliverance

The red red lips
of some secret solution
the central intelligence agency
has a file that's a mile longer than peace

She's naked on the phone
watching them back
No eyes just their stupid grins

They long to be liberal mannequins
and in their tiny room
they eat chinese food
and they don't call their wives
cause the girl in the window
is pressing her breasts up against the window pane

and the guy they're after
on the floor below her is
cutting cocaine higher than the building

A one way trip who ever thought she'd
miss the ins and outs of oxygen
the darkest side of the biggest god damn ride
you've ever been on

Her mother loves the show even though
she never gets the answers right
it's easier to play along sometimes

More than being wrong they found her
in her room wearing a pink bunny suit
in sour cherry lipstick hanging from
the closet door

Her eyes were wide
maybe to despise
maybe just to look
into your headlight morning glow

and this is it
this is prime time deliverance
that you have and you hold
if you have then you hold
and she says the best thing you can do
is hang around a while

The Inescapable Us

The day I met you
decay will let you learn to bend
We are better butterflies
all meek we get the end

It makes me sick
It makes me laugh when I shouldn't,
Kill what I came
To keep alive

Your turn to spill
Your turn to spill now

That's fate looking our way
Your sparkling spot hasn't caught on
That's fate stealing away
Your sparkling spot hasn't caugh on

The day we met up
It's hard to get up and live it down
We are smaller maybe than what we
can't get around

It makes me sick
it makes me laugh
when I look at you
Clap while it's kicking us around

And what it spills
And what it spills is

Fate looking our way
Your sparkling spot hasn't caught on
That's fate stealing away
Your sparkling spot hasn't caught on

Indestructable

Died in a motor crash
I came back for you
The perfect version of myself
Tomorrow we start again
Tomorrow came and went

I'm indestructible
How I'm indestructible I'm indestructible
How I'm into I'm in two

And we won't say a thing
while you give your life away

Died in an amusement park accident
I came back for you
So you wouldn't be alone
And if I go away again
You can have my stereo

I'm indestructible
how I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible
how I'm into I'm in two

And we won't say a thing

Invasion 1

We wore pink in the 80's
What were we thinking
i got a brain cloud from the
black light in your room

Built to be you
see just crazy
But it just made us jumpy
When we should have been smooth

How do they save you from yourself
How will she save me from myself
I know just what you mean
Who will spearhead the invasion

I know just how you feel
Who will spearhead
Dropped off the face of the earth
Bobby is my hero for that

Down a hole with
the grinch's antler dog and yukon cornelius
When I'm sober I need this
I know just what you mean

Who will spearhead the invasion
I know just how you feel
Who will spearhead
I know just what you mean to me

Who will spearhead the invasion
I know just how you feel
Who will spearhead
I know just what you mean to me
Who will spearhead the invasion

Change of Season

If they dropped the bomb
Would you love me
Then If I was wrong
would it be okay

Well I can see the holes in everyone
A Change of Season

I feel like I'm losing for money
I feel like I'm losing for free
I feel older than the
dead angel on my shoulder claims to be

I feel like we're drinking and driving
I feel like we're running into walls
I feel like swimming in your apathy
You know I'd love to be
your conscience when It calls

If they made me crawl wold you love me then
If I was small would it be okay
Well I can see the need in everyone
A change of season

I feel like I'm losing for money
I feel like i'm losing for free
I feel older than the
dead angel on my shoulder claims to be

I feel like we're drinking and driving
I feel like we're running into walls
I feel like swimming in your apathy
as a kind of parody

For miles and miles and miles
I feel like somebody's missing
I think that somebody's missing.

Look Happy, It's The End Of The World

Where will you be this afternoon
I cut of all my fingers
no fame I spill my guts and orphaned
Desert isle like orphaned

Big bang
Blink if you can hear me
Box my ears daddy
Box my ears

Hoping is out of style
So look happy
It's the end of the world

Wiz bang I've got a big machine
It's black and blue
Where will you be this afternoon

Meet me and I'll spill my guts
Cause I'm open to anything
I'm open for the first time
and you can count the years

Hoping is out of style
So look happy
It's the end of the world

Lo-Fi B-Sides

Enjoy the Silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right throught me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted...
Enjoy the silence

Fated

There's a space man in my basement
there's an IV keeping time beside my bed
and a painting of Jesus wandering
for a dart board
you know he's seen you naked a million times

I long to be dead
and sleep with the fishes under the sea
they can swim through my head
and stop all the traffic jams
stop all the traffic jams
and there'll be no light tonigh
if I'm fated

There's a cartoon killer in my livingroom
cut you open like candy and pull out your little wound
like tv dinners for the third world
and amputee dancing girls
you try but you fail cause you're bad at life
and good in a vacuum

I long to be dead
and sleep with the fishes under the sea
they can swim through my head
and stop all the traffic jams
stop all the traffic jams
and there'll be no light tonigh

Beautiful Midnight

Giant

Shake me, i'm waiting
In your new arc they're saying
I'm the creature in your sick thing
Everybody sees a giant
When the bad moon in your heart sings
And your wind up gears start grinding
Your teeth feel you smiling
A better, happier you
The better happier you

When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it's easy
Like you're all out and i'm your man

Hit me, i'm bleeding
In your lounger, on your grooming
It's the future that's whoring
The better, happier you
A better happier you

When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it's easy
Like you're all out
And i'm your man
Baby i'm your man

Strange Days

Good morning
Don't cop out
You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
Are you crazy to want this
Even for a while?
We're making this shit up
The reasons for being are easy to pay
You can't remember the others
They just kind of went away
So you're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs
When you drift off to wake up
Do you always hit the brakes?

We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone
Either dead or dying
Either dad or trying to go

It's evening, you're tired
You sleep walk, a robot out on the street
Are you crazy to want this, even for a while? you're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving backwards
Into a wall of fire

We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone
Either dead or dying
Either dead or trying to go
Good morning
Don't cop out

I Miss New Wave

Going to fly to Hawaii
Get laid in a lawn chair
Drown in a bathtub
Fill it with cheap beer
I miss new wave
And movies about losing
Or just the parts where it's a-okay
See baby i got something right

The world is screaming
I miss new wave
And real intent

Gonna drive to LA
Get laid at the rose bowl
Drown in a hot tub, fill it with models
I miss new wave
And hearing the scratches on my long plays
Or just the part that sound OK
See baby i got something right

When the world is screaming
I miss new wave
And real intent

Gonna die in Coquitlam
Get laid by a golf course
That I never went to
Well it's not a real sport
And I'll miss new wave
And watching you walk away
So go on it's OK
See baby i got something right
See baby i got something right

Load Me Up

Picture yourself
Sleeping on a plane
There's something ticking in the overhead
And inside your brains
There's bodies in the water
And bodies in the basement
If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant
And hey are you know?
And hey are you being careful?
And hey are you luke warm?
Hey ya you are

I'm frantic (nice to meet you)
So load me up
Whatever puts me all the way out

Picture yourself swimming in an ocean
1,000,000 miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
There's bodies in the water
Floating all around you
And all of them are talking, and they're comedians
And hey are you you know?
And hey are you special?
And hey are you deformed?
Hey ya you are

I'm frantic
So load me up
It seems so practiced
Me fucking this up
Whatever puts me all the way out

Picture yourself at the MGM grand
One night only, murphy vs. hokem
You're in the stands
There's somebody in the water
In the middle of the ocean
1,000,000 miles from nowhere
And they're alone
I'm there alone
So, so deformed

I'm frantic
So load me up
This seems so practiced
So take me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out

Failing The Rorschach Test

Hey alice
I'm caving in
I know it's not allowed
But sometimes i fantasize
I'm peeling off my skin
Enough to fill it up again
Hey rabbit
Into the pavement
I'm caving in

Mother told me to be something
So i'm afraid enough to stay wide awake

Hey rabbit
I came to win
I know it's not allowed
But sometimes you might find
It feels like nothing is
And it's everything you've been
Hey alice
Into the pavement
I'm caving in

Mother told me to be something
So i'm afraid enough to stay wide awake

This ain't real baby, i've got a better excuse for myself
I'm always here.

I say we're leaving
There ain't nothing here at all
Another day, a week, the mall
And baby if I was in demand
You would be mind

Someday this place it going to burn
Is your whole life in there waiting?
Someday your head is going to turn and you'll realize
I'm missing, do you realize?

You will come back
Convince yourself you can stay alive
And wait for me
And i will know what this was for
And I'll say we're leaving
There ain't nothing here at all
Another month, a year that's all
So you can tell them I'm coming
And hell's coming with me

Someday this place is going to burn
Is your whole life in the waiting
Someday their heads are going to turn and they'll realize
You're missing
We are there

Let's Get it On

Hey there bad seeds
Let's get it on
I'll shut up and keep my end
Let's get it on
Our sycophanatic replacements are here at last

So impossible
The doubt in the everything, on everything
Is so impossible

So load up and keep marching
The push is on

So impossible
The doubt in everything, on everything
Is so impossible
Down came your blackbird to suffer in my arms

Jenny's Song

Jenni killed her dad with her car
And now she's a millionare
She got beat on mostly for being at home
So mostly she wasn't there
And me i'm waiting to see
What goes around when she comes around
To kill me

Were you dead way before tonight?
Threw it back and stay awhile
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die a while

We go out and we pass out in our clothes again
Giving it and losing it for the time of our lives
I'm giving it and losing it for the time of my life
You're giving it and losing it for the time of your life

Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay awhile
I've seen red most of my little life
Throw it back, we'll die awhile

I know what it means 'you got me'
We're not sick we just need it for the weekends
On mondays it's gone
I used to think i was invisible beside you'd crumble
You wait for it and you wait for it and it's gone
And you wake up and nobody knows
That i've loved you buried alive

Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay awhile
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die awhile

Going All The Way

Well this is it
So where it's at monomaniacs
Baby you know all we're good for
Drugs for the kids, if the kids are flat
All dressed up to match
Those shit eating grins look effortless

And if there's nothing left to die for
And nall this our beauty is just decay
And if there's nothing left to die for
Then you and me, let's go out going all the way

Well this is it
So where it's at megalomaniacs
Baby you know it's all we're good for
Those missle men with their master plan
Don't get paid to understand
Makes you wonder where we got these shit eating grins from

And if there's nothing left to die for
And all this our beauty is just decay
And if there's nothing left to die for
Then you and me
Let's go out going all the way

Dreams of sea caught way inland
Cut as losses we'll cut our losses
We'll cut our loss

A Boy and his Machine Gun

Don't move, stay right where you are
Talking can only give you away
And there's so nothing to say
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they're invisible
But we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
Come on give me a reason

A boy and his machine gun
When you're finished stuggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here
Cause you weren't working right?

Don't move stay just like you are
You look sane motionless like that
So very flat
It's amazingn what velocity can do
When human beings are in season

A boy and his machine gun
If you're quiet we might see some
When you're finished stuggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here cause you weren't working right?
There's a TV in every room
And it's free even pay-per-view
Which you'll need if no one's going to visit you
Animal

I know who you're waiting for
No one's coming though
So fuck you and your principals
And fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think i'm evil
Perhaps you think i'm crazy

The Future is X-Rated

There's holes up in the sky
The devil punched down to the monkeys
And now they've got drive through
And a video stor where there used to be real live actors
Used to ride around here
Up on my high horse
With all the other good little butcher boys
A planiairst of course
So roll over sweet thing
Like a nuclear reprisal inbound from outer space
There's a comparison here i'm trying to swing

God damn it's deafening
Wish you'd shut up about everything
The future is x-rated

There's holes up in the sky
And no one's seen your son in days
And things just keep getting weirder and weirder
And now christmas is for shopping
And the shopping god is everything
So roll over and lose it
Cuz power is just another one of those things baby
It's pointless if you ain't gonna use it

God damn it's deafening
Wish you'd shut up about everything
The future is x-rated
Used to ride around here on my high-high horse

Born to Kill

There's a big beat
You're spinning in my tv
A magician
The antidote
So I'm with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be released

It's more than the less you say you do
It's more than the shot that gets you through
Born to buy into something
Born to kill

There's a big beat
You're sleeping in my memory
Like Satan
Lonely
So I'm with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be relseased

It's more than the less you say you do
It's more than the shot that gets you though
Born to buy into something
Born to Kill

Running For Home

They beam things into your head
The ghosts of your pleasure and contempt
When we were liars things were seamless
When we were wired the world was like a secret
I close my eyes now and i scream
I turn the light on and there's nothing left redeeming
I saw your face before it changed
The gun it makes you look nicer in a bad way

So low for how high?

Well it's too late tonight
And i'm sure you're right
As low for how high

And after this there's just the circus
And every morning you carnie heart stops workin
It gets tight in there sometimes
Looking for the defects, talking like it's a reflex
I close my mouth now and i scream
I open the door and there's nothing left redeeming
I saw your face before the rough
You should wait around awhile cause your body's bound to turn up

So low for how high?
Well it's too late tonight
And i'm sure you're right
As low for how high

Carmelina

Can you feel me slide in?
can you hear your blood pound?
I will think of you in pieces
I will picture us found
my filthy mouth, well it makes my mom proud
I will bask in our disaster
if it'll phase us out

Hey Carmelina
target practice is for Mexico
and I've become spectacular
which is strange cause I feel dumb

Can you feel me glide in?
can you make the pig sound?
I will think of you above me always
I will picture us clowns
my filthy mouth
well it hides my clean selves
I will bask in my disaster
maybe it'll phase me out

The Fall of Man

You pray for the sheep
I get closer to hell
I stand on the hill
then I run down
I look in your eyes
you look for your price
you beg me to stop
but I was never that nice

Never did mind about the little things
we'll stick to the plan
the fall of man

You pray for the sheep
look forward to hell
go live on the hill
no one comes down
I look in your eyes
you look for some teeth
like nickels at night
left under the sheets

Never did mind about the little things
we'll stick to the plan
the fall of man

What you don't know won't kill you

Under the Influence

I dreamed I was a pigeon
slipping through the heavens like a 747
everyone left down below
locked in a house of my invention
learning the don'ts of fire prevention
if I roast marshmallows over their bodies
do you think god will still find their souls?

Just want to be like we used to
under the influence
just want to see like we used to
under the influence

I dreamed I was a white tip slipping through the Pacific
my heart for a shipwreck and your legs left down below
some things they come, all things they go
and there ain't nothing like exploding
if you've got something to explode

Sort of a Protest Song

I can't remember 1989
I can't remember what you look like
Cause I was dimed
Wasn't the whole world at the time?
A robot heart for my sleep in girl
She knows CPR so I can come back to life
Ya I can come back to life

I had me a vision
I was a fireman in a time of fires
And I was paralyzed
A robot heart for a theme park world
Whatever keeps us alive
Whatever keeps claim to us being civilized

I can't remember 1989
I try but I forget what you look like
Baby I ain't dimed
But ya, it still keeps me up at night
A Robot heart for a robot boy
who dreamed he was a lion
Our lives in these empty spaces aside
I'm tired of walking around with my hand on my gun
I'm tired of watching them wind you up to see if you'll run
Tonight I'm going to go out and have me some fun
I'm tired of walking around here with my hand on my gun
