ONCE
I admit it…what’s to say…yeah…
I’ll relive it…without pain…mmm…
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play…
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah…
Oh, try and mimic what’s insane…ooh, yeah…
I am in it…where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet…I pray…
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah…
You think I got my eyes closed
But I’m lookin’ at you the whole fuckin’ time…
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah…
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah…
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Once (4x)
Yeah…once, once…yeah, yeah…
Yeah…yeah, yeah…yeah, yeah…oww…
EVEN FLOW
Freezin’, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin’ maybe he’ll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain’t that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can’t help, when he’s happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away, yeah…ooh…
Oh, someday yet, he’ll begin his life again…life again…life again…
Kneelin’, looking through the paper though he doesn’t know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin’, now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin’, understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah…
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away, yeah…
Someday yet, he’ll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away…him away, him away…
Yeah! Woo…ah yeah…fuck it up…
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away…
Ooh, someday yet, he’ll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away…him away…him away…
Yeah! Woo…uh huh…yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy…
ALIVE
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin’ but a…
While you were sittin’ home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin’, sorry you didn’t see him, but I’m glad we talked…
Oh I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey…oh…
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man’s room
She said I’m ready…for you
I can’t remember anything to this very day
‘Cept the look, the look…
Oh, you know where, now I can’t see, I just stare…
I, I’m still alive
Hey I, but, I’m still alive
Hey I, boy, I’m still alive
Hey I, I, I, I’m still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah…yeah yeah yeah…oh…oh…
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You’re still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so…if so…who answers…who answers…
I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, but, I’m still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I’m still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
WHY GO
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won’t feel as alone as she does
It’s been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She’s been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah…
Whoa…yeah…hey yeah yeah…
Why go home… (3x)
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone…ooh…whoa…ah yeah…
Ooh…
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me…put me here…don’t come visit…mother…
Sting me…
Whoa…ooh…
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me…put me here…don’t come visit…mother, mother, yeah…
Why go home? (7x)
Whoa…
BLACK
Hey…oooh…
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll ever be…yeah…
Uh huh…uh huh…ooh…
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star
In somebody else’s sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine
JEREMY
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top
Lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn’t give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn’t care
King Jeremy the wicked…oh, ruled his world…
Jeremy spoke in class today… (2x)
Clearly I remember pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion…
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady’s breast…
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin’…ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day…oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn’t give affection, no…
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn’t wear
King Jeremy the wicked…oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today… (3x)
Woo… (14x)
Try to forget this…try to forget this…
Try to erase this…try to erase this…
From the blackboard…
Jeremy spoke in class today… (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in… (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today…
Woo… (29x)
Woooooohhh…spoke in, spoke in…
Woooooohhh…uh huh, uh huh…
OCEANS
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards…
You know something’s left
And we’re all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch…
Oooh… (4x)
You don’t have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring…
The sea will rise…
Please stand by the shore…
Oh, oh, oh, I will be…
I will be there once more…
Oooh… (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah… (2x)
PORCH
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn’t
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda’ learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, ’bout you?
Would you hit me? (2x)
Oh oh oh…oh whoa whoa…ow…
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain’t gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I’m bearing home
Ain’t indicative of my place
Left the porch (2x)
Oh oh oh…
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say…
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know when I would not ever touch you
Hold you…feel you…in my arms…never again…
Yeah… (12x)
GARDEN
She don’t wander in…don’t wander in here, she…
She don’t wander in here…don’t wander in here…
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don’t question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
She don’t wander in…don’t wander in here, she…
She don’t wander in here…
I will walk…with my hands bound
I will walk…with my face blood
I will walk…with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone…yeah…
After all is done, and we’re still alone
I won’t be taken, yet I’ll go…with my hands bound
I will walk…with my face blood
I will walk…with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
I don’t show…I don’t share…
I don’t need, yeah…What you have to give…
Oooh, I will walk…with my hands bound
I will walk…with my face blood
I will walk…with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden…oh…
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone…
I don’t know…I don’t care…
I don’t need you for me to live…yeah, yeah, yeah, oh…
Uh huh huh… (8x)
DEEP
On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain’t nothin’
But he’s got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah…
Whoa, can’t touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah…oh, can’t touch the bottom
Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin’ town
Feelin’ quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain’t nothin’
But he’s got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah…
Ooh, can’t touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah…uh huh, can’t touch the bottom
In too deep…
Ohhh…Ohhh…
Ow…
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven…visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain’t nothin’
And she doesn’t like the view
She doesn’t like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep
Oh, can’t touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah…oh, can’t touch the bottom
Can’t touch the bottom
Deep, yeah…
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah… (6x)
Ohh…
RELEASE
Father…ooh…oh…oh…
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world’s on a rocking horse of time
I see the verse in the rain
Ohh…ohh…ohh…ohh…
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I’ll ride the wave where it takes me
I’ll hold the pain…Release me…
Ohh…ohh…ohh…ohh…
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I’ll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I’ll open up…Release me…
Release me (3x)
Ohh…ohh…ohh…ohh…
GO
Oh, please don’t go out on me, don’t go out on me now
Never acted up before, don’t go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go…fuck…
Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda’ pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No…time…suck…my…Please…
Don’t go on me (4x)
Please…oh…
Suck…blood…touch…please, tunnel vision…tuck…time…see…
Please, please, please…
Don’t go on me (4x)

DAUGHTER
You guys ready…
Alone…listless…breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl…violins…center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it’s in her head
Painted room…can’t deny there’s something wrong…
Don’t call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don’t call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don’t call me…
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will…rise above…ooh…oh…

Like some…I can steal your heart form your neck…
Glorified…glorified…
DISSIDENT
She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn’t so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say…what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past…a holy no…
She had to turn around
When she couldn’t hold, oh…she folded…
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she’s glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact…with the conflict…
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn’t hold…she folded…
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh…oh…oh…
She gave him away when she couldn’t hold…no…she folded…
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh…
Couldn’t hold on…she couldn’t hold…no…she folded…
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh…
A dissident is here
W.M.A.
He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to him
Police man (2x)
He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male ‘merican
Do no wrong, so clean cut…
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Jesus greets me…looks just like me…
Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (3x)

BLOOD
Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin’ circus
Stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
It’s my blood (2x)
Paint Ed big…Turn Ed into…One of his enemies…
It’s my blood (3x)
Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
Maker of my enemies…
Take…my…
Fuck…fuck…fuck…fuck…fuck…fuck…
REARVIEWMIRROR
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I’m not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn’t breathe, holdin’ me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive…
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn’t my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my…Rearview mirror…
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I’m far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades…are raised…hey…
Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you… } (3x)
Rearview mirror }
Saw things so much clearer
Once you…oh yeah…
RATS
They don’t eat, don’t sleep
They don’t feed, they don’t seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one’s feet
They don’t push, don’t crowd
Congregate until they’re much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend
They don’t scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don’t pack themselves together and run as one
Don’t shit where they’re not supposed to
Don’t take what’s not theirs, they don’t compare
They don’t scam, don’t fight
Don’t oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread
They don’t scurry when something bigger comes their way }
Don’t pack themselves together and run as one } (2x)
Don’t shit where they’re not supposed to }
Don’t take what’s not theirs, they don’t compare… }
Rats…They don’t compare (2x)
Ben, the two of us need look no more (5X)
ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can’t seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I’d seen the place
But no one’s ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away… (2x)
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn’t recall, for I’m not my former
It’s hard when you’re stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that’s what no one wants to see
I just want to scream…hello…
My god its been so long, never dreamed you’d return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade…away…
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away… (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade…away…
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away… (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade…
LEASH
Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight, oh…
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I’m no guide, but I’m by your side
I am right by your side, yeah…
Young lover I stand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
We will find a way, we will find our place
Drop the leash, drop the leash… } (3x)
Get outta’ my fuckin’ face }
Drop the leash, we are young (2x)
Oh, get outta’ my fuckin’ face…
Drop the leash, drop the leash…
Get outta’ my, my…
Delight, delight, delight in our youth…oww…
Get outta’ my fuckin’ face…
INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin’, so I won’t be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I’m free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell…
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah…
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I’ll keep takin’ punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won’t change direction, and I won’t change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make…how much difference…
I’ll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (2x)
How much difference does it make (2x)
LAST EXIT
Lives opened and trashed…»Look ma, watch me crash»…
No time to question…why’d nothing last…
Grasp and hold on…hold tight and fast…
Soon be over…and I will relent…
Let the ocean swell, dissolve ‘way my past
Three days, and maybe longer, won’t even know I’ve left
Under your tongue…I’m like a tab…
I will give you what…you’re not s’posed to have…
Under my breath…I swear by sin…
For better or for worse…a best we began…
Let the sun climb, oh, burn ‘way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last…shed…shed…
Let the sun shine, burn ‘way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, won’t ever find me here
Let the ocean dissolve ‘way my past
Four days, and not much longer…
Let my spirit pass…
Ooh…
This is, this is… (3x)
My…last exit
SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE
See this needle…a see my hand…
Drop, drop, dropping it down…oh, so gently…
Well here it comes…I touch the plane…
Turn me up…won’t turn you away…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…spin the black, spin the black…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…whoa…
Pull it out…a paper sleeve…
Oh, my joy…only you deserve conceit…
I’m so big…a-my whole world…
I’d rather you…rather you…than her…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…spin the black, spin the black…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…whoa…oh…
You’re so warm…oh, the ritual…when I lay down your crooked arm…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…spin the black, spin the black…
Spin, spin…spin the black circle
Spin, spin…
Spin the black (5x) circle
Spin the black circle… (4x)
Spin, spin… (6x)
NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth
Can’t escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don’t you do it too…too…
Small my table, a-sets just two
Got so crowded, I can’t make room
Oh, where did they come from? Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you…to you…
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, not for you…ah, you…
…scream…my friends…don’t call me…
…friends, no they don’t scream…
…my friends don’t call…my friends don’t…
All that’s sacred comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don’t you…don’t you…
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, never was for you…fuck you…
This is not for you…
Oh, this is not for you…yeah, you…
This is not for you…
Oh, not for you…
Oh, you…
TREMOR CHRIST
Winded is the sailor…drifting by the storm…
Wounded is the organ he left all…bloodied on the shore…
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her…drowning in his wake…
Daily taste the salt of her tears, but…a chance blamed fate…
Little secrets, tremors…turned to quake…
The smallest oceans still get…big, big waves…
Ransom paid the Devil…He whispers pleasing words…
Triumphant are the angels if they can…a get there first…
Little secrets tremors…turned to quake…
The smallest oceans still get…big, big waves…
I’ll decide…take the dive…
Take my time…not my life…
Wait for signs…believe in lies…
To get by…it’s divine…whoa…
Oh, you know what it’s like…
Turns the bow back, tows and…drops the line…
Puts his faith and love in Tremor Christ…
NOTHINGMAN
Once divided…nothing left to subtract…
Some words when spoken…can’t be taken back…
Walks on his own…with thoughts he can’t help thinking…
Future’s above…but in the past he’s slow and sinking…
Caught a bolt ‘a lightnin’…cursed the day he let it go…
Nothingman… (2x)
Isn’t it something?
Nothingman…
She once believed…in every story he had to tell…
One day she stiffened…took the other side…
Empty stares…from each corner of a shared prison cell…
One just escapes…one’s left inside the well…
And he who forgets…will be destined to remember…oh…oh…oh…
Nothingman… (2x)
Isn’t it something?
Nothingman…
Oh, she don’t want him…
Oh, she won’t feed him…after he’s flown away…
Oh, into the sun…ah, into the sun…
Burn…burn…
Nothingman… (2x)
Isn’t it something?
Nothingman…
Nothingman… (2x)
Coulda’ been something…
Nothingman…
Oh…ohh…ohh…
WHIPPING
Don’t need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don’t need a raincoat, I’m already wet
Don’t need a bandage, there’s too much…blood…
After a while, seems to roll right off…hmm…
Whipping, ah…they’re whipping, ah…
…they’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping…
Don’t need a hand, there’s always arms attached
Oh, don’t get behind, I can’t fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don’t want no change, we already have
They’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping, ah…
…they’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping…
Don’t mean to push, but I’m being shoved!
Ohh, I’m just like you, think we’ve had enough
I can’t believe a thing they want us to…oh…
Oh, we all got scars, they should have ’em too…
Oh, they’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping, ah…
…they’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping…
They’re whipping, ah…they’re whipping, ah…
…they’re whipping…yeah…they’re whipping…
PRY, TO
P-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me (4x)
P-r-i-v-a-c-y (4x)
CORDUROY
The waiting drove me mad…you’re finally here and I’m a mess
I take your entrance back…can’t let you roam inside my head
I don’t want to take what you can give…
I would rather starve than eat your bread…
I would rather run but I can’t walk…
Guess I’ll lie alone just like before…
I’ll take the firmest path…oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist…this behavior’s not unique
I don’t want to hear from those who know…
They can buy, but can’t put on my clothes…
I don’t want to limp for them to walk…
Never would have known of me before…
I don’t want to be held in your debt…
And I’ll pay it off in blood, let I be wed…
And I’m already cut up and half dead…
I’ll end up alone like I began…
Everything has changed, absolutely nothing’s changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture
I don’t want to take what you can give…
I would rather starve than eat your breast…
All the things that others want for me…
Can’t buy what I want because it’s free… (2x)
Can’t be what you want because I’m…
I ain’t s’posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I’ll be damned, all alone like I began…
It’s your move now…
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you…
BUGS
All these…
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don’t go nowhere
Waiting, waiting…
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling…
A few block the door
And now the question’s:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don’t think they’re that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that’s the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea
I let it happen again
They’re always takin’ over
I see they surround me, I see…
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once…was once up to me…
Now it’s too late
I got bugs in my room…one on one
That’s when I had a chance
I’ll just stop now
I’ll become naked
And with the…I’ll become one
SATAN’S BED
It’s not all been said…been said and done…
I’ve never slept in Satan’s bed
Although I must admit…still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don’t wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don’t like to leave
Already…in love… (3x)
Already…
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I’m real, join the club
I’d stop and talk, but I’m already in love
Already…in love… (3x)
Already…
In love…Ah ha ha ha…
…follows torture…follows reward… (2x)
Oh, oh my butt…
Never shook Satan’s hand, look see for yourself
You’d know it if I had, that shit don’t come off
I’ll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don’t need your help so back off
I’ll never suck Satan’s dick…
Again, you’d see it, you know, right round the lips
I’ll wait for an angel, but I won’t hold my breath
‘Magine they’re busy, think I’m doing okay…
Already…in love… (6x)
Already…
BETTER MAN
Waitin’, watchin’ the clock, it’s four o’clock, it’s got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over…
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man…
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man…
Can’t find a better man (2x)
Ohh…
Talkin’ to herself, there’s no one else who needs to know…
She tells herself, oh…
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along…
Swears she knew it, now she swears he’s gone
She lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man…
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man…
She lies and says she still loves him, can’t find a better man…
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man…
Can’t find a better man (2x)
Yeah…
She loved him, yeah…she don’t want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah…that’s why she’ll be back again
Can’t find a better man (3x)
Can’t find a better…man…
Ohh…ohh…
Uh huh… (5x)
Ohh…
AYE DAVANITA
Awooh…aye davanita…awooh…awooha… (4x)
Jahooh…jahooh… (Repeat)
Awooh…aye davanita…awooh…awooha… (4x)
IMMORTALITY
Vacate is the word…vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear…vessel stabbed…next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can’t adhere…
A truant finds home…and I wish to hold on…
But there’s a trapdoor in the sun…immortality…
As privileged as a whore…victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered…executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor…
A truant finds home…and I wish to hold on, too…
But saw the trapdoor in the sun…
Immortality…
I cannot stop the thought…I’m running in the dark…
Coming up a which way sign…all good truants must decide…
Oh, stripped and sold, mom…auctioned forearm…
And whiskers in the sink…
Truants move on…cannot stay long
Some die just to live…
Ohh…
STUPID MOP
Don’t you want people to love you?
My spanking, that’s the only thing I want so much…

Because you get closer to the person…

Just like a person having sex feels cared for…
We wanna be loved, so we have sex together…
And they feel loved about that…
And this is the way it makes me feel…loved…
I want it, I dream about it, I think about it, I want it…
Just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?
It’s the way I’ll always be probably…
My last one was born in the system…
See, they’re stupid, very stupid, those people over there…

Think they got me…
Hey foxymophandlemama, that’s me…hmm…

She prides herself on her cleaning habits… (2x)

It’s a lovely stupid mop, it is…
There’s something really screwey about no streaking…
Is it any old dumb mop? It streaks…
Come on mop, no streaking mop…
I don’t mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, I don’t like it…
It’s not me, it’s the mop…
Come, I bought some new mops…
Go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop…
I don’t believe it…now the floor looks beautiful… (2x)
I don’t believe it…old sponge mop…
Dumb old sponge mop… (2x)

That’s why they call me mophandlemama…
Now the floor looks beautiful…
That’s why they call me mophandlemama… (3x)
In two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed…
The twenty-third of May…you know she disturbed no one today…
The manager told her to completely forget…
If you ever go to bed, I’ll kill you…
Do I tell the whole world that I’m mentally ill?
Go to the papers…yeah, why not?
Drum roll…
I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs…
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself…
Keep it to myself…keep it to myself…
I think I deserve to be loved, don’t you?
Very much so…

Do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?
Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep…
Yeas, I believe I would…
I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep…
Yes, I believe I would…
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself…

ALONE («Go» B-side)
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can’t, he can’t…
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She’s standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again…
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can’t take it any other way
On the streets he’s walkin’, wounded
Doesn’t smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a young girl
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can’t
You can’t take it any other way, yeah, yeah…
…Myself, don’t talk to me
I can help myself, don’t talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don’t talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself…
…Myself, don’t talk to me
I can help myself
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can’t, he can’t, he can’t, he can’t…
ANGEL (1993 X-mas single)
Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I’m not livin’ what was promised
I am close but can’t enjoy
Oh, I’m not dyin’
Oh, I’m so tortured, ’cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I’m not livin’ what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I’m not dyin’
Oh, I’m not alone
Mine is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, ’cause I’m, I’m by your side
I’m by your side, I’m by your side, oh…
I’m…I’m right in front of you…I’m by your side…
BREATH («Singles» soundtrack)

Ooh, come…here it comes…there it goes, grasp what you can…
Don’t you know there’s something inside your hand, yeah…
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there…
There’s much more than this, ooh…whoa, much more than this
Oh, see the world…much more than, oh…
Much more than…
Why?
CRAZY MARY (Victoria Williams) (from «Sweet Relief»)
She lived on the curve of the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we’d say:
‘Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?’
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson’s place
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said ‘No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed’
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
DIRTY FRANK («Even Flow» B-side)
Dirty Frank Dahmer, he’s a gourmet cook, yeah
I got a recipe for famous ankle soup, yeah
Wanted a pass, so she relaxed…
Now the little groupie’s getting chopped up in the back
I Got a cupboard full of fleshy fresh ingredients
A very careful at the same time quite expedient
Eats meat, a release…
Bus driving’s harder on your head than on your feet
Dirty frank (4x)
Keeps it clean, a keeps it copaseptic
A little boys and girls, their heads are all collected
A not crazy, a per se…
Just a little strange, when he gets hungry
City, state, your town, he will continue
A stadiums, tiny clubs, every venue
His bus, your trust…
There goes another turned into crust
Dirty frank…a Dirty Frank, yeah… (2x)
Yeah…oh, watch it…
Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother…Shut your mouth!
Hey man, I’m just talking about dirty Frank
Middle of the night, we’re stopped, the freeway shoulder
A Frank’s shoveling to bury the leftovers
They’re sunk, he’s drunk…
Now he’s gonna drive, I’m hiding in my bunk, oh…
The band all knows, we’re too afraid to mention
Don’t want to be part of frank’s luncheon
A-lose weight, a-be safe…
Where’s Mike McCready?
My god, he’s been ate!
Dirty frank…a Dirty Frank, yeah… (2x) } (2x)

FOOTSTEPS (Rockline, 5/11/92) («Jeremy» B-side)
Don’t even think about reachin’ me, I won’t be home
Don’t even think about stoppin’ by, don’t think of me at all
I did, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you…
Aah…don’t even think about gettin’ inside
Voices in me head…ooh, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart
I did…oh, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you…oh…
Pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you…
Hey…I did, what I had to do…oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn’t no reason, no
And if, there’s something you’d like to do
Just let me continue, to blame you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you…oh…
Pictures on my chest, it was you, you…oh…

LET ME SLEEP (1991 X-mas single)
Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I’m lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid…oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it’s Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins
Oh, I’m so tired, and cold
Oh, when I was a kid…oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it’s Christmas time
Oh…oh, when I was a kid…oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it’s Christmas time
Oh…oh, when I, if I was a kid…oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me dream, it’s Christmas time
OUT OF MY MIND (Atlanta, Georgia, 4/2/94) («Not For You» B-side)
Out of my mind, yeah… (2x)
All of the time, yeah…
Wish you could help me mister
Wish you could lift me up
Wish you could pack my parachute mister
Wish you could pull me up
Oh, the winds of change, I’m stuck beneath the rain…
Oh, I wish you could help me up, yeah…
Out of my mind…
Out of my mind, yeah…
Oh, once inside, I’m out of my mind…out…
Out of my mind…
Out of my mind, yeah…
Oh, once inside, I’m out of my mind…
Wish you could help me, give me a pill
A-just a little drink that I could swill
A little something, anything, anything, I’ll try all…
I ain’t got nowhere to go from here
I’m just about this far from drowning in my very own tears
Out of my mind, yeah…
Out of my mind…
Oh, once inside, I’m out of my mind, yeah…
Out of my mind, yeah…
Out of my mind…
I don’t feel so hot…
Out of my mind…
Where do I go? Where do I stay?
I got no place to lay in the hay
Where do I go to soothe my head?
Guess I’ll turn on music instead
Where do I see? Where do I shine?
No one wants to take my mind…
Where do I go? How do I feel?
Guess I’ll waste away in here
Out of my mind… (11x)
Out of my mind every single time…
SONIC REDUCER (Dead Boys) (1992 X-mas single)
I don’t need anyone, don’t need no mom and dad
Don’t need no good advice, don’t need no human rights
I got some news for you, don’t even need you too
I got my time machine, got my ‘lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain’t no loser…oh…
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer…
People out on the streets, they don’t know who I am
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by
I’m not just anyone, said I’m not just anyone
I got my time machine, got my little ‘lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain’t no loser…oh…
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer…ahhh…
Nothing left here…
There’s not really nothing left here…
Oh, I’ll be your bearer soon, love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here
Then I’ll be ten feet tall, then you’ll be nothing at all
I got my time machine, got my ‘lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain’t no loser…oh…
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer…oh…
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer…yeah…
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer, sonic reducer…oh…
STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST («Singles» soundtrack)
Oh…
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin’, grip the wheel, can’t read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that’s on my hands…hands…yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin’, I’ll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be a countin’
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah…
And the barrel shakes, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin’, I’ll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh…
Myself…myself…
Yeah, yeah…
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that’s something (3x)
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head.
Nothin’, I’ll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won’t you help me, help me from myself
Hmm…State of love and trust, and a…
State of love and trust, and a… (2x)
State of love and…yeah…
WASH («Alive» B-side)
Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah…
Sin to sell, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It’s on the inside, and I can’t get it off, yeah…
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah…
What’s clean is pure, but hey, I’m white on the outside, though I stray
What she don’t know today, might kill us both tomorrow, bring it back someway
Bring it back, bring it back, back to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)
Ooh…
YELLOW LEDBETTER («Jeremy» B-side)
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, ‘I wanna leave it again’
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah…
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah…
And they called and I said that I want what I said…
And then I call out again…
And the reason, oughta’ leave her calm, I know
I said, ‘I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag’
Ah yeah…can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don’t wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah…
And I know and I know I don’t want to stay
Make me cry…
I see, ooh…I don’t know why there’s something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don’t, I don’t know a-where there’s a boxer or the bag’
Ah yeah…can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don’t wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah…
And I know, and I know, I don’t wanna stay alone…
I don’t wanna stay…yeah…
I don’t wanna stay… (2x)
I don’t, don’t wanna, oh…yeah…ooh…ohh…
ACT OF LOVE (Neil Young — «Mirror Ball») (performed live on various dates)
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding, slowly pounding.
The Holy War was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the Great Crusade
Seek reward in the ever after, ever after, ever after.
Don’t wanna have to lose you baby
Don’t want to have to take you back
You know I’ll never lose you baby, abuse you baby, use you baby.
You know I’ll always help you baby, but you know I just can’t do that.
I know I said I’d help you baby, here’s ny wallet, call me sometime.
Act of love… (4x)
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding, slowly pounding.
Act of love… (4x)
AGAINST THE SEVENTIES (Mike Watt — «Ballhog or Tugboat»)
I asked him if he knew what time he had
He said he wasn’t sure maybe a quarter past
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies
Appeared in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look
But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (2x)
It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality…
It won’t work for you…
Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
Forcing youth away from the truth of what’s real today
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies
Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh
Garbage bandits ‘gainst true defenders of the crowds
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (2x)
It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality…
Look what it did to us…
Speakin’ as a child of the seventies…
The kids against the seventies
Kids against the seventies
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (12x)
BREAK ON THROUGH (Eddie Vedder with The Doors)
Day destroys the night…night divides the day…
Tried to run, tried to hide…
Break on through to the other side… (3x)
Yeah…
We chased our troubles there, dug our treasures there…
Can you still recall the time we cried?
Break on through to the other side… (2x)
Yeah…
Dead cat, a dead rat
Did you see where they were at?
Dead cat, doll path
Did you see where they were at?
Everybody loves my baby…everybody does my baby…
She gets… (4x)
Hot…ahh, yeah…
Found an island in your arms…country in your eyes…
Arms that train us, arms that lie…
Break on through to the other side… (2x)
Break on…yeah…
Wait to see…week to week…day to day…hour to hour…
Pain is great, deep and wide…
Break on through to the other side… (2x)
Break on through… (4x)
Yeah… (9x)
CATHOLIC BOY (Jim Carroll — «Basketball Diaries» soundtrack)
I was born in a pool
Left in my mother’s stand
I spat at that surgeon and his tremblin’ hand
When I felt for life I was the nursery boy
I stole the doctors scalpel and I slit the cord…
I was a Cat
