| SOMETHING IN THE WAY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ABOUT A GIRL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 ok to eat fish Cause it dont have any feelings Something in the way |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I need an easy friend I do with an ear to lend I do think you fit this shoe I do but you have a clue I'll take advantage while You hang meout to dry But I can't see you every night free 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 |

| PLATEAU (w/MEAT PUPPETS) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words When you've 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 Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico Some decided it was nowhere except where they stood But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could |

| COME AS YOU ARE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Come as you are, as you were, As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend Take your time, hurry up The choice is yours, don't be late Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach As I want you to be As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria And I swear that I don't have a gun No I don't have a gun |

| JESUS DOESN'T WANT ME FOR A SUNBEAM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OH ME (MEAT PUPPETS) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam 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 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If I had to lose a mile If I had to 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 And that's old news Would you like to hear my voice sweetened with emotions Invented at your birth? I cant see the end of me My whole expanse I cannot see I formulate infinity And store it deep inside of me |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend Which came as some suprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you 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 form and land, for years and years I roamed I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here We must have died along, 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 |

| LAKE OF FIRE (MEAT PUPPETS) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to lake of fire and fry Won't see them again untill 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 she flew away howling on the yellow moon Now the people cry and the people moan And they look for a dry place to call their home And try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils Fight to claim them for their own |

| PENNYROYAL TEA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm on my time with everyone I have very bad posture Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and Drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty Give me 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 anamic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids |

| ALL APOLOGIES | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What else should I be All apologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else could 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 emasued Find my nest of salt Everything is my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua seafoam shame Sumburn with freezerburn Choking on the ashes of her enemy All in all we all are |

| DUMB | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done 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 hangover Skin the sun Fall asleep Wish away The soul is cheap Lesson learned Wish me luck Soothe thw burn Wake me up |

| WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT (LEADBELLY COVER) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 dont 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 was never found |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| POLLY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Polly wants a cracker Think I should get off of her first I think she wants some water To put out the blow torch It isn't me We have some seed Let me clip Your dirty wings Let me take a ride Don't hurt yourself I want some help To help myself I've got some rope You have been told I promise you I had been true Let me take a ride Dont hurt yourself I want some help To help myself Polly wants a cracker Maybe she would like more fruit She ask me to untie her A chase would be nice for few Polly says her back hurts She's just as bored as me She caught me off my guard Amazes me, the will of instict |

| ON A PLAIN | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'll start this off without any words I got so hig I scratched 'til I bled I love myself better than you I know its wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I ever had Was when I learned to cry on command I'm on a plain I can't complain My mother dies 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 defence I'm neutered and spayed What the hell an I trying to say It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense One more special massage to go And then I'm done and I could go home |
