ABOUT A GIRL
See Bleach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COME AS YOU ARE
See Nevermind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JESUS WANTS ME FOR A SUNBEAM
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
Don't expect me to cry, don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die, 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 stair
He spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I thought you died alone
A long long time ago"
"Oh no, not me
We 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 a foreign land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions there
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
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 inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
I
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anem-ennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

DUMB
See In Utero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLLY
See Nevermind. However, there are some differences in the chorus:
Isn't me, haven't seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help to help myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you heaven true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ON A PLANE
See Nevermind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOMETHING IN THE WAY
See Nevermind.

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, shake the many hands
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
You finish with the mop and you can stop and look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen, and the work, it was fun
Many a hand's began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was 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 mind, 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
Formulate infinity, store it deep inside me
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAKE OF FIRE
Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bitten by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew away howling on the yellow moon
People cry and people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make 'em their own
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL APOLOGIES
See In Utero.

WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT
My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me when did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever she
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl
Where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body it never was found
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 will shiver the whole night through
