Fly Devil Sun
02:51
|
|
||
|
She's a three-winged fury
She's a cold-cut stone
She's a hot spaghetti
She's a peach pine cone
She's a hell hath fury
She's a loaded gun
She's a woman scorned
She's a fly devil sun
She's a temple haunted
She's a coke bottle cap
She's an eggplant lady
She's a junkyard scrap
She's a garlic rub
She's an angry daddy
She's a short slip rocker
She's a weight to carry

Friend I Know
02:49
|
|
||
|
There's a friend I know
Who never comes to my shows
And when he wipes his nose
It gets all over his clothes
I find it a little disheartening
Even though I've never played a show
I wanna get struck by lightning
Be the lucky one
There's a place I go
When I am feeling so low
A room that's white as snow
Where I can take it slow
I find it a little bit frightening
Even though I know just where to go
I wanna get struck by lightning
Be the lucky one

I Worry the Body
02:13
|
|
||
|
I worry the body could fall
Harder than it can withstand
A slip, hit the sink
A trip on the brink
Is my ride out of this land
This land
This land
Fast break escape on the lam
I wasn't myself today
I ate my dinner late
The resulting strain
On the body made
A shivering mass of weight
Of weight
Oh wait
Sick dude no food on the plate
A temple houses the mind
And I want to treat you kind
But the call of the wild
Is a bastard child
And it leaves the body behind
Behind
Behind
I was left in the back of your mind

Dopey
02:45
|
|
||
|
I took you down
Head to the floor
I thought you drowned
At the front door
Don't fight me
invite me
Down for a swim
Beat up, got senseless
A hole punch in
Laid out, defenseless
Stitched on the chin
Big words go
In and out for
A dopish whim

Katie
02:29
|
|
||
|
Katie won't come to me
She left for the academy in June
Distracted by the schooling
The court declares the ruling
It is cruel
So cruel
I cry for her attention
I'm gonna get detention once again
She told me not to write her
I can't help but invite her
Back to me
Katie I cannot pretend
That you won't a have new boyfriend next week
He'll probably take you out and treat you right
And lay red flowers at your feet
Cause you know how to choose 'em
You use 'em then you lose 'em cause we're weak
And if there's not much to learn
I'll pray for your return in a heartbeat
Katie

Dig me up that country ham!
Come on and dig it up, dig it up, dig it up, digitup, digitup, digitup!

Heavy Metal Tenor
03:00
|
|
||
|
Heavy metal playing in my head
Counter tenors coming out instead
It's the season of paranoia
Coughing wheezing in an empty foyer
Popping collars in the sanctuary
God's not looking he thinks you're scary
Grabbing business by the birthday suit
Try to sell what was given to you

Nobel Peace Pipe
03:13
|
|
||
|
Dreamt I shed this circuity
Dig to find what's left of me
Poster board chock full o' shit
Offensive anatomy
Some may say I'm wearing sin
Shit and shame to wallow in
Keep well groomed to emulate
Upper-class businessmen
Old life will follow you downtown
Despite the effort not to drown
And the grass is overgrown
And you keep moving along
Even if you walk alone
And you send a prayer above
And you got no one to love
Even though you give enough

I spend a lot of time at home
And you ask me where the time has gone
I looked up and I was alone
A textbook blackhole
So I thought about the times I’ve known
And I remember that the time is on loan
So I gathered everything that I own
Now it’s on the lawn
Don’t lose track
Take it back
Leaving memories intact
Tense and tired
Head’s rewired
Waiting ‘round to be inspired
So I fill the room with sound and noise
But all the instruments are just decoys
To distract from a certain demise
The songs are just cries
And the home will look empty at night
As the occupant is hidden from sight
He has almost disappeared but not quite
An invisible mission
Don’t lose track
Take it back
Leaving memories intact
Tense and tired
Head’s rewired
Waiting ‘round to be inspired
So I thought that the show was still on
I looked up and the time was gone

Worn Out Man
03:10
|
|
||
|
well you asked me a question
to see what i got
but i paid no attention
cause my brain is shut
and you leaped right at me
like a leopard in a cage
but i don't say much
in my old age
cause i'm a worn out man
baby i'm a worn out man
so i dug up a photo
from when i was a child
you couldn't see the resemblance
my eyes used to be wild
and the scenes of my youth
i've almost forgotten
used to be green
now the fields are rotten
cause i'm a worn out man
baby i'm a worn out man

Egg Man
02:29
|
|
||
|
Egg man
Rolling down hills and then cracking
Taking a spill and then laughing
At everything wrong with this life
Egg man
Saving up for plastic surgery
You'll make a beautiful lady
I'll think of you under the knife
You'll be
strutting your stuff in a daydream
Patched up and living on ice cream
Putting an end to the strife
Egg man
Now you've got beautiful legs, man
Keeping them on display often
And trying to stay out of fights
Trending
Keeping the story from ending
Living by re-engineering
Working but never retiring
Aging but never expiring
Stay in your carton tonight

I Have Everything I Need
02:12
|
|
||
|
I have everything I need right here
My car keys, pen, and paper
I write everything down from beginning to end
Take a ride around the block and call my friends
Don't have to look far to be entertained
Just across the street is a baseball game
I have everything I need right here
My car keys and my future
And if you drive me around the block just once
I might end up where I once was
Don't have to look hard for good furniture
Might need a big car to get it here

The Party
04:13
|
|
||
|
I feel
so dumb
Should be at the party
Having so much fun
Big deal
stay home
Isn't anybody
That will take me home tonight
Get real
no one
is ever gonna listen
to the song you sung
Stay home
alone
Sing into the mirror
for tonight's party of one
Conversation never seems to pan out
Instead, cling to the corner of the room
on my phone
texting you
Everybody's drinking wine
and having a good time
while I'm stuck in my mind
piloting a plane to Timtuktu
without my crew
onboard

I Lose My Head
02:26
|
|
||
|
I lose my head easier than
Most people can crawl into bed
I really dread calling the cab
These seats are drab, I lose my head
And when I sleep I dream of me
Holding myself, holding my head
Out of my bed it feels so wrong
My head’s still on, I lose my head
My face is red, start blowing smoke
Maybe I’ll choke, I lose my head
Something you said flipped on a switch
Son of a bitch,I lose my head
And when I sleep I dream of me
Holding myself, holding my head
Out of my bed it feels so wrong
My head’s still on, I lose my head

The Beat Brings My Baby
04:43
|
|
||
|
I haven't felt this way in forever
It can be hard these days to remember
She could be gone
Swept from my memory
But the beat brings my baby back to me
I lie awake at night thinking of her
It never felt quite right to surrender
It just takes a song
To jog my memory
And the beat brings my baby back to me
You could sing every line to perfection
You can appease my mind with distractions
Stuck on a chord, and I'm changing
But the beat brings my baby back to me
