About a Girl

I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free....I do

I'm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too
I do... keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free....I do

I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
I can't see you every night
Free....I do


Come As You Are

Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a trend, as an old memoria
Memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun (2x with solo)


Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Because sunbeams are not made like me
Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee


The Man Who Sold The World

We passed upon the stairs
and spoke in walls and web
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you'd died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me

I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for farther land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World


Pennyroyal Tea

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's indise of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royaly

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royaly

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's indise of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royaly


Dumb

I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is gone, but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke, but I have some glue
Help me inhale, and mend it with you
We'll float around, and hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down, and have a hangover

Have a hang over

Skin the sun, fall asleep
Wish away, the soul is cheap
Lesson learned, swish me luck
Soothe the burn, wake me up

I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is gone, but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy
I think I'm dumb


Polly

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

It isn't me, have some seed
Let me clip, your dirty wings
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help, to please myself
I've got some rope, you have been told
I promise you, I have been true
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help, to please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asked me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

*Chorus*

Polly said,
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me the will of instinct

*Chorus*


On a Plain

I'll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command

My brother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense

One more special message to go
And then I'm done then I can go home

I'm on a plain
I can't complain


Something In the Way

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But It's okay to eat fish,
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way,


Plateau

Many a hand has scaled
the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you've got words

Finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun

The many hands began to scan
around for the next plateau
Some say it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere
except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses,
wouldn't help you if they could


Oh, Me

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
But that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store deep inside me


Lake of Fire

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And flew away howling on the yellow moon

Now people cry and people moan
They look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to make them their own


All Apologies

What else should I be? All apologies
What else should I say? Everyone is gay
What else should I write? I don't have the right
What else should I be? All apologies

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
I'm married! Buried!

I wish I was like you: Easily amused
Found my nest of salt, everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemies

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
I'm married! Buried!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All in all is all we all are


Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
