Feel Good Hit of the Summer

Nicotine valium vicadin marijuana ecstacy and alcohol

chorus:
Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine

The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

Well I’ve got a secret, I cannot say
A modern movement to give it away
You’ve got somethin that I understand
Hold it in tightly, call on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in I just cut you out

chorus:
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone

Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can’t erase
Out on the corner or locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Stuck in believe, there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
But we’ve got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

repeat chorus 2x

I think you already know
How far I’d go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I’m taking our song to the grave

repeat chorus

Leg of Lamb

You’re a head case with a smile
Can’t stop to make up your mind
Education is so lame (so lame)
When you bitch and you moan
You’re a loose girl, I’m a guy (hey)
You’re a truth freak with a lie
The situation is so strange
It’s a tv show

In a hotel on the phone
You’re gonna leave me, should have known
And I was thinkin, it’s so sad
I didn’t want you to go
Don’t wanna follow the laws of man
Bloody apron, leg of lamb
It’s so hard to win
When there’s so much to lose

chorus:
Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain’t a bad thing
This ain’t reality
Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain’t a bad thing
Because it is natural

Second Avenue, raising Cain
I’m a sinner, ring my bell (hey man)
I’ll tell you what, I get up
If I knew I fell

Auto Pilot

Saw you down there on the marble slab
The best trip that I’ve ever had
High up in a jet plane, pass it around
My drinks on empty, need another round

chorus:
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Is this the best that you can do?
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
High up in a jet plane with you

When we arrive in the middle of nowhere
Don’t act like you know, I been here so many times
I never seen you before
But now that I have, I don’t wanna see you no more

High up in a jet plane with you
High up in a jet plane with you

repeat chorus

Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh
Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh

High up in a jet plane with you
High up in a jet plane with you

repeat chorus

Better Living Through Chemistry

The blue pill opens your eyes
Is there a better way
A new religion prescribed
To those without the faith
The hero holding a knife
And blood is not enough
Is it too late to go back?
Is it too late to go?

There’s no one here
And people everywhere, you’re on your own

Let’s see if I’m hearing this right
You suggest I should take
And never endings are glad
(right channel - A never-ending supply)
To carry out the dead
Your idols burn in the fire
The mob comes crawling out (take us down and out)
I’m reclaiming their minds
Destroying everyone

There’s no one here
And people everywhere, you’re all alone

Monsters in the Parasol

The walls are closing in again, oh well
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some thing I thought I never saw
Covered in hair
Paul’s dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul’s dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is up here on another wave
Covered in hair

She won’t grow

You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a monster in your parasol

Paul’s sister is an alien, oh well
Paul’s sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair
She won’t grow

You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a monster in your parasol
You’ve got a hole in you I never saw
In your parasol, in your parasol

Quick and to the Pointless

spoken: I don’t even know what I’m doing here
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Little girl walkin down the street
Godverdomme*, you gotta be with me
Well I know, you know
Everybody everyone let’s go

Oh, baby, baby, you’re so sweet
Ah, ah, wooo

Het leven is hard, de mensen worden bang **
I’m so old, you’re so young
I know, you know
Everybody everyone let’s go

Oh, baby, baby, you’re so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ik denk van ja, maar nee***
Little girl, listen what I say
You know, I know
Everybody everyone let’s go
Oh, baby, baby, you’re so sweet
Whoooo
Ah, baby, baby, you’re so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa!

* 'Goddamn' (Dutch)
** 'life is hard, people are getting scared' (Dutch)
*** 'I'm thinking "yes", but no' (Dutch)

In the Fade

Cracks in a ceiling, crooked pictures in the hall
Countin and breathin, I’m leaving here tomorrow
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Laughin is easy, I would if I could

Ain’t gonna run
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There’s nothing to save and I know?
You live till you die

chorus:
Live till you die, I know

Loosing feelin, but I couldn’t get the way
Countin and breathin, disappearin in the fade
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Stoppin and stayin, I would if I could

Ain’t gonna run
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There’s nothing to save I know
You live till you die

repeat chorus

end: nicotine, valium, vicadin, marijuana, ecstacy, and alcohol

Tension Head

Everyday I wake up feeling this way
I take it downtown with all the action going down
Strike your match, strike your match, cook it up

chorus:
(My life) I’m feeling so sick
(Your life) I feel so fucking sick (My life)
(Your life) On the bathroom floor
Try to get out and get right
Hustling little girls
Machine little boys
Yeah

Gotta get out, gotta get out and get right
Gotta get out, I gotta get out no more
No more, no more

(My life) I’m feeling so sick
(Your life) I’m feeling so sick
On the bathroom floor (My life)
I’m feeling so sick (Your life)
No more
Yeah!

(High life, low life, high life, low life, high life, low life)

(My life) I’m feeling so sick
(Your life) I feel so sick
no more

I Think I Lost My Headache

You know why
They called and just let it ring
No reply
The door is open I swear
Ain’t no use in pickin up
You know why

chorus:
It’s all my head I know
So they tell me so
Until my head explodes
Into my head it goes

Tastes so good
Oh, but I knew it would
Tastes so good
Burn like a match house
Medicate just to make you soft
Love is blind
Catch and release me
What the hell were they thinking of
You know why

repeat chorus

Regular John

Who are you girl?
Who are you boy?
Bet I know what you’re up to
Can I come along
Your home number’s on the wall
I just had to call, had to
I’m not the only one
Who will run with a knife

chorus:
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

One six two seven eight
Two six three seven eight nine
where’s your daddy now
I heard he ran away
who are you girl?
cause I’m so bored with myself
anyway
any time and any place
I’ll just hang around
repeat chorus

one six two seven eight
two six three seven eight nine

chorus:
open up your eyes
open up your room
open up your arms
open up your door
open up your eyes
open up your room

Avon

I see you go
Through a park in a haze
I don’t listen
For traffic going the same way
A simple system
I string ‘em up
I cut ‘em down
Dare I say

A perfect vision
Some simple ways to let you know
Free range humans all cooped up
Naked clone is playing lame
I string ‘em up
I cut ‘em down
Dare I say

If Only

If it gets you down well then I’ll take it
If it gets you up well I don’t want it
It let you down so broken hearted
If it gets you down well then I want it

If only we’re nothing at all

So blow our mind and make it lazy
Those long long days with no escaping
I hold the wheel to let it go
Don’t wanna stop, don’t wanna know
If it gets you down, well just don’t blame me

If only we’re nothing at all

Walkin´ On The Sidewalks

Got some action on the other side
Loose teeth in my head
New programs are coming in
So rise and take your oath
I wish we could get away
Drink wine and screw
I knew someone else before
Looked alot like you

chorus:
And they’re gone
I’m gone
In space

I been programed as I said before
Technology
Just rollin, wheezin and breathin
Eyeballs and teeth
Words are weightless here on earth
Because they’re free
You knew someone else before
Looked alot like me

repeat chorus 2x

You Would Know

Me just happy robot
Live on hill of beans
You and I cut from same cloth
Rippin at the seams
Cut, snip, cut

Don’t forget to remember
The devil’s got pills in his eyes
Look, laugh, but don’t touch
Cut you down to size
Cut, up, cut (shut up)
Cut, up, cut

chorus:
You would know

My girl’s all out of focus
I ain’t no big surprise
Daddy got his gun loaded
Got crosshairs in his eyes
Shut up, oh
Shut up, oh

chorus:
You would know

How to Handle a Rope

Too late to think or filter anymore
A bitter pill to swallow
Maybe you’re in a blanket haze of ephedrine
I’m wonderin where the hell you been
So come on and right this wrong the rope

chorus:
You got it all right
You got a feeling
I’d rather open up my wrist, let it go
You got it all right
You got a feeling
Cause devils and ropes around your neck
Cursing them all
And you can’t hear it
Can’t hear it

Ain’t got a mind to deal with anymore
Sabatuer, infiltrator, and maybe more
If you’re not blind and deaf, how can we pollute your head?
So come on and right this wrong the rope

chorus:
And I got it all right
I got a feeling
You’d rather open up your wrist, let it go
I got it all right, yeah
I got a feeling
Cause devils and ropes around my neck can’t even know
Cause they can’t hear it

Mexicola

Setting sun deals hands of gold
There’s velvet eyes in Mexico
Just a fall away
And all she said was true
Speak in tongues, speak in lies
Drooling livers, born to die
It’s a wonder that those guns don’t point at you

chorus:
Keep sayin, go on, keep sayin, go on, keep sayin, you won't live forever

Point and shoot, I know just what you mean
In a world that’s full of shit and gasoline, baby
One dog’s dead one’s on the phone
Just leave a lung or leave it alone
It’s that same on song again
I hate it cause it’s true

repeat chorus

You Can´t Quit Me Baby

It’s a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you’re psycho in love
And I know

Followed your friends, you were not there
Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you’re laughing baby
Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
I want you to notice when I’m not around
Wherever you are

You’re solid gold
I’ll see you in hell

Give The Mule What He Wants

The mule want it
The mule want it sunday
He’ll eat it
He’ll eat it one day
How long
Do I wait
Be the mule that you gotta be

Underwater, underwater one day
Gonna sink it, make em think it’s too late
For your love
For your love
Be the mule that you gotta be

I was a Teenage Hand Model

Cozied up to the toilet
Face stuck to the floor
I met expectations that I was tryin to ignore
Job had such patience
I wonder, what’s that like?
One hundred thousand million
But I hear
That’s what you like
So I was thinkin

So these cities are sprouting
Like a spit in the eye
And this world isn’t waiting
It’s just passing me by
I just peak in the window
Lookin inside
The butcher’s got a fork in your face
I’m standing alive
And I was singin

If Only Everything


If it gets you down, well then I want it
If it gets you up, well I don’t want it
Lets you down, so broken hearted
If it gets you down, well then I want it

If only we’re nothing at all

So blow my mind, it’s just so crazy
Those long, long days just make it eighty
So roll the wheel, and there it goes
And where it stops you never know
If it gets you down then just don’t blame me

If only we’re nothing at all

Born to Hula

Follow trails of you to here
Every mile takes you my way
Rolling faster than we can

Tables turnin all the time
I’m the dog at your feet
So we are it again

You’re the one

Fucking have to wait a dime
Every single flingin mile
They’re coming faster all the while

You’re the one

Ain’t it somethin, we’re born to hula

The Bronze

I been waiting
Waiting under things that rise in the morning
I been holding
Holding back so long
You can own it, take it off my hands, do me a favor
Nothin wasted
Just fingerfucked and busted up all at once

I’m so lost out on the highway
With no direction left to go
Everyday sit up and wonder
Where it was I started from

The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around

Infinity

Got a whole in my head
Everything falls right out
Through my ears, through my eyes
Makes no difference where you are
You wanna know how I do it?
I do it all right

chorus:
I got a hole and I’ll never go home
There ain’t nothing can fill it up
I got a hole and I’ll never go home
There ain’t no one thing

A new wrong (?)
A new wrong
You never get right back
A new wrong
You wanna know how I do it?
I do it all right

chorus:
I gotta hole and I’ll never go home
There ain’t nothing that can fill it up
I gotta hole and I’ll never go home
There ain’t no one thing out there

Not me with a gun to my head
I can let it go
Not me with a gun to my head
I can let it go
So I sing

Ode to Clarissa

I knock on your door
I tiptoe on the floor
I hope your daddy ain’t home right now
He warned me once before

You know he warned me once before

I stay up late
So we can keep our date
I love that we don’t get no sleep
So to your window I creep
You know he warned me once before

chorus:
I’m the one your mamma told ya ‘bout
I’m the one your pappa told ya ‘bout

Now you’re in love
And why shouldn’t you be
I’m everything you’ll never be
You say don’t leave
Baby, I can’t wait
Next time, we share my second base

repeat chorus

You´re So Vague

Clear-eyed girl
In a crooked way
All the crooked walkin
To avoid and evade
Hair like maple, skin like cream
Bet they say I love you
When you strip them thin

Chorus:
Baby, you’re so vague
That you probably think this song ain’t about you

Green eyed boys
Lick the razor blade
Girl I think I love you
And the mess you made
Setting you up
It don’t get you down
When you flash your fangs
You own this town

Chorus:
Baby, you’re so vague
That you probably think this song ain’t about you

Back To Dungaree High

I didn't mean to turn you on, no way
just wanna dance and sing my song, oh okay
Clocking in, clocking out,
no I don't mind it at all
Me and the danger dudes
were on the news, so just don't bother to call, because...

It's just a way to stay alive, boy
it's such a trip just to survive

So it's back, back to dungaree high
just to get high, back to dungaree high
just a great big boy -
with a teeny-weeny alibi

Just a soul on ice
With a mirror and a blade
and a pocket full of mice
Cheap thrills done and the dirt cheap ants
'cause I got a headache in my pants

I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants, because...

It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive
So it's back, back to dungaree high
just to get high, back to dungaree high
just a great big boy -
with a teeny-weeny alibi

It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive, boy
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive, boy
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive
back to dungaree
back to dungaree
back to dungaree high
