Serve The Servents



Teenage angst has paid off well 

Now I'm bored and old 

Self-appointed judges judge 

More then they have sold 


If he floats than she is now 

A witch like we had thought 

A down payment on another 

One a salem's lot 


Serve the servents - oh no (5x) 

That legendary divorse is such a bore 


As my bones grew did they hurt 

They hurt really bad 

I tried to have a father 

But still I had a dad 


I just want you to know that I 

Don't hate you anymore 

There is nothing I could say 

That I havn't thought before 


Serve the servents - oh no (5x) 

That legendary divorse is such a bore 



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Scentless Apprentice



Like most babies smell like butter 

He smelled like no other 

He was born a scentless and senseless 

He was born a scentless apprentice 


Go away - get away, get away, get-a-way 

Every wet nurse refused to feed him 

Elecolytes smell like semen 


I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets 

There are countless formulas for pressing flowers 


Go away - get away, get away, get-a-way 

I lie in the soil and fertalize mushrooms 

Leaking out gas fumes made into perfume 

You can't fire me, cause I quit 

Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit 


Go away - get away, get away, get-a-way 



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Heart Shaped Box



She eyes me like a pieces when I am weak 

Ive been locked inside you heart shaped box a week 

I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap 

I wish I could eat you cancer when you turn back 


Hey, wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hate, Haight 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hey, Wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet 

Cut myself on angels hair and babys breath 

Broken hymen of your highness i'm left back 

Throw down your umbillical noose so I can climb right back 


Hey, wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hate, Haight 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hey, Wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your pricless advice 


She eyes me like a pieces when I am weak 

Ive been locked inside you heart shaped box a week 

I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap 

I wish I could eat you cancer when you turn back 


Hey, wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hate, Haight 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your priceless advice 


Hey, Wait 

Ive got a new complaint 

Forever in debt to your pricless advice 

Your advice (4x)

Rape Me



Rape me, rape me my friend 

Rape me, rape me again 


Im not the only one (4x) 


Hate me 

Do it. And do it. Again 


Waste me 

Rape me, my friend 


Im not the only one (4x) 


My favorite inside source 

I'll kiss your open sores 

Appreciate your concern 

You'll always stink and burn 


Rape me, rape me my friend 

Rape me, rape me again 


Im not the only one (4x) 


Rape me (17x)

Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle



Its so relieving to know that your leaving as soon as you get paid 

Its so relaxing to hear that your asking wherever you get your way 

Its so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same 

I miss the comfort in being sad (3x) 


In her false witness, we hope your still with us, to see if they float or drown 

Our favorite patient, a display of patience, disease-covered puget sound 

She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars 

And leave a blanket of ash on the ground 

I miss the comfort in being sad (3x) 


Its so relieving to know that your leaving as soon as you get paid 

Its so relaxing to hear that your asking wherever you get your way 

Its so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same 

I miss the comfort in being sad (3x)

Dumb (Cool cello on this song)



Im not like them 

But I can pretend 

The sun is gone 

But I have a light 

The day is done 

But im having fun 


I think im dumb 

Or maybe just happy 

Think im just happy (3x) 


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 well come down 

And have a hangover....have a hangover (3x) 


Skin the sun 

Fall asleep 

Wish away 

The soul is cheap 

Lesson learned 

Wish me luck 

Soothe the burn 

Wake me up 


Im not like them 

But I can pretend 

The sun is gone 

But I have a light 

The day is done 

But Im having fun 


I think im just dumb 

Or maybe just happy 

Think im just happy (3x) 

I think Im dumb (12x)

Very Ape



I am buried up to my neck in 

Contradictionary flies 

I take pride as king of illterature 

Im very ape and nice 


If you ever need anything please don't hesitate 

To ask someone else first 

Im too busy acting like im not naive 

Ive seen it all I was here first 


Out on the ground 

Into the sky 

Out of the sky 

Into the dirt 


If you ever need anything please don't hesitate 

To ask someone else first 

Im too busy acting like im not naive 

Ive seen it all I was here first 


Out on the ground 

Into the sky 

Out of the sky 

Into the dirt 


Out on the ground 

Into the sky 

Out of the sky 

Into the dirt

Milt It



I am my own parasite 

I don't need a host to live in 

We feed off of each other 

We can share our endomorphins 


Doll stake, test meat 

Look on the bright side is suicide 

Lost eyesight im on your side 

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing 

Lack of iron and/or sleeping 


I own my own pet virus 

I get to pet and name her 

Her milk is my shit 

Her shit is my milk 


Test meat, doll stake 

Look on the bright side is suicide 

Lost eyesight im on your side 

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing 

Lack of iron and/or sleeping 


Doll stake, test meat 

Look on the bright side is suicide 

Lost eyesight im on your side 

Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing 

Lack of iron and/or sleeping 


Protector of the kennel 

Ecto-plasma 

Ecto-skeletal 

Obituary birthday 

Your scent is still here in my place of recovery

Pennyroyal Tea



Im on my time with everyone 

I have very bad posture 


Sit and drink pennyroyal tea 

Distill the life thats inside of me 

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea 

Im anemic royalty 


Give me Leonard Cohen afterworld 

So I can sigh eternally 

Im so tired I cant sleep 

Im a liar and a thief 


Sit and drink, pennyroyal tea 

Im anemic royality 

Im on warm milk and laxatives 

Cherry-flavored antacids 


Sit and drink pennyroyal tea 

Distill the life thats inside of me 

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea 

Im anemic royalty

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter



Use just once and destroy 

Invasion of our piracy 

Afterbirth of a nation 

Starve without your skeleton key 


I love you for what I am not 

I do not want what I have got 

A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns 

Speak at once while taking turns 

Second-rate third degree burns 


What is wrong with me 

What is what I need 

What do I think, I think 


This had nothing to do with what you think 

If you ever think at all 

Bi-polar opposites attract 

All of a sudden my watter broke 


I love you for what I am not 

I do not want what I have got 

A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns 

Speak at once while taking turns 

Second-rate third degree burns 


What is wrong with me 

What is what I need 

What do I think, I think 


Hate, hate your enemies 

Save, save your friends 

Find, find your place 

Speak, speak the truth 


What is wrong with me 

What is what I need 

What do I think, I think 


Use just once and destroy 

Invasion of our piracy 

Afterbirth of a nation 

Starve without your skeleton key 


What is wrong with me 

What is what I need 

What do I think, I think 


What is wrong with me 

What is what I need 

What do I think, I think

Tourettes



Moderate rock.. 


Here's your enemy in my life 

Get out, out of sight, of my heart 

Will no [additive] of my heart 

Pull hard, sever free, of my heart? 

Hey!(3x) 


I don't care, I'm [afraid], it's [my heart] 

[Clear all] effigy of my heart 

Oh no! it's the fall of my heart 

Oh no! it's the call of my heart 

Hey! (3x) 


[Wring a knot], 

Cold heart (7x) 



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


All Apologies



What else should I be 

All apologies 


What could 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 

Im married 

Buried 


I wish I was like you 

Easily amused 

Find my nest of salt 

Everything is my fault 


I'll take all the blame 

Aqua seafoam shame 

Sunburn with freezer burn 

Choking on the ashes of her enemy 


In the sun 

In the sun I feel as one 

In the sun 

In the sun 

Im married 


Buried 

Married 

Buried 

All in all is all we all are (20x)

Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip



It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing 

That you're only supposed to use once and then discard. 

Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend. 

My shyness, pet her flow. 


She's only been five months late, 

Even though we haven't had sex for a week. 


A meal a day, a meal, I say. 

And my heart's made my.... 


Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis. 

She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer. 


She's only five weeks late, 

and I haven't had a date forever... 

ever...ever...forever! 


Wish I had more...more opportunity, 

more chances to remember some things 

so I couldn't have so much pressure on my... 

on my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head. 


We'd have so much more diversity, 

and so much more input, so much more creative flow, 

if we had someone in school, a (GIT)... 


GIT...geeks...in...town. 

Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one... 

Girls In Trouble 

It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels 

No, GWC 


Fuck, man, this is a waste of time! 

(laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh! 


You're personally responsible for... 

the entire strip...to be washed away... 

cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol 

flowed through the strip and were set on fire. 


It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight. 


And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom, 

and his...silk... 

and he...he erected a beautiful city... 

a city of stars.
