The Olde HeadBoard

What becomes a legend most?

I'll let you think about it,

Space Ghost coast-to-coast

While I give thanks today

For all the things I stole

And all the things I gave away.

You make experiment, you try to

Teach a lesson and then take a stand.

A fake handshake don't make no man.

I don't know about a year ago or so

I must have made you up in my head.

What did I base you on?

Was it a Broadway show I saw?

A hot new book I read?

Half-baked you come at me

You know I told you not to call here no more.

The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

Yo no comprendo, mi amour.

Oh no, yo no comprendo.

The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

Where'd you get the dumb idea

For all the secretive platonic dating?

I have experience

In the love and the lives

Of Man and Machine.

Yo no comprendo, mi amour.

Oh no, yo no comprendo.

The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

What becomes a legend most?

The love and the lives of Man and Machine.

Olde Headboard.

The love and the lives of Man and Machine.

Olde Headboard.

The New Zero

He has agreed

To take me

To the Ice Hotel from the magazine

What we will need

Is a gleaming key

Made of ice as well

By the finest ice machine.

It's there that no one will stare

At your jaws and your long fur

The claws in your fingers.

It's in the past when the passerby laughed

At your strange way of speaking

Your batteries leaking

Oh no

Oh God no

They don't know

The New Zero.

Uniforms worn

So leisurely.

The reindeer skins

The privacy

How was he born?

He's asking me

Flapping his fins

Very impressively.

It's there that no one will stare

At your jaws and your long fur

The claws in your fingers.

It's in the past when the passerby laughed

At your strange way of speaking

Your batteries leaking

Oh no

Oh God no

They don't know

The New Zero. He has agreed

To take me

To the Ice Hotel.

I really don't care and neither does he

If this hotel melts into the sea

Polished and so rare, this is the way that we see.

The coldness helps, it's our favorite remedy.

It's there that no one will stare

At your jaws and your long fur

The claws in your fingers.

It's in the past when the passerby laughed

At your strange way of speaking

Your batteries leaking, oh no!

Oh God no

They don't know

The New Zero. He has agreed

To take me

To the Ice Hotel.

Rose K.

She doesn't know the man

Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand.

She just looks out to sea.

He's talking endlessly.

Oh, why won't he shutup?

I take my medicine

I crush the paper cup.

Oh, maybe he's my son

And he's coming to set me free.

She knows that she forgot

That there's a story and she

Can't recall the plot.

Of course her family fought

Over the furniture.

Oh, I don't know why they

Have taken all my favorite things away.

But one thing that's for sure

I don't know what they were.

They say a stone is a marker

And that it has weight.

They say it's solid

But it can deteriorate.

The air is like a hand

Reminding her of all the things she's planned.

Like air that thought is gone

Never to come again.

We came out to the beach to find the mind I've lost and cannot reach.

I used to keep it here.

It was much cleaner then.

They say a rose is a flower

And that it is red.

It blooms, it grows, it wilts

And then it is dead.

They say a stone is a marker

But it can deteriorate.

Oh, Rose Kennedy.

Sign of the Zodiac

Do you believe in the Signs of the Zodiac?

Haven't you found that the systems for

Planning always fail?

Can you avoid what gave Daddy his heart attack?

Have you tried everything, anything

All to no avail?

I know what you need.

This will really work.

In ancient times, if you were sick

They made you bleed.

Oh, honey I know it hurts.

Look all around you and notice you're not alone.

We want to give you the courage to

Go a different way.

Think of the love and attention we all have shown.

What did we do when we heard, well, we

All came right away.

I know what you need.

This will really work.

In ancient times, if you were sick

They made you bleed.

Oh, honey I know it hurts.

TrenchMouth

Yeah, he was big landowner.

He was a bad mouthbreather.

But you can see his station wagon stand alone.

Woulda, coulda, we should have known.

He was a failed cropduster.

I am his little sister.

He was a whistleblower for the F. D. A.

Maybe was them sent him away.

He was a football player.

He didn't have a lot to say.

That guy's a lousy actor.

He was a hard-core cracker.

He wore a trenchcoat and he waved the Dixie flag.

But he's my brother, so I brag.

Don't be a dark naysayer.

So they all said he was a fag.

He had a really big TrenchMouth

When we were living way down South.

He had a really big TrenchMouth.

It's on the edge of nowhere.

No way for them to go there.

I know I'm not much help, but here is where I'll stay.

I'm hoping they'll find him some day.

I should put up some flyers.

Can you think of another way?

He had a really big TrenchMouth

When we were living way down South.

Then he up and disappeared.

He just left his car up here.

He had a really big TrenchMouth

When we were living way down South.

He had a really big TrenchMouth.

Nobody seems to know why he

Would disappear just leave me here.

On a dirty hill for all time

Me and the pinetree that I stand behind.

He had a really big TrenchMouth

When we were living way down South.

He had a really big TrenchMouth.

Herb Girls of Birkenau

Experiment victims walk by on a hill

With berries in aprons, I still see them. Still

See black empty eyes staring, no hair, yet ahead

There's no dignity there. They're not living not dead.

Swayback and Ripcord and parachute face

Were pulled from the water and put in a place

I've no been to, but what you'll find

Is the kommandant hoarding the vegetable rinds.

It's not like they mattered.

Who sucked out your spirit?

Listen how we shout at them.

They can't hear it.

It's not fair

And it seems impossible

That it happened at all.

That there were people who saw

The Herb Girls of Birkenau.

The Herb Girls of Birkenau walk by on a hill.

With berries in aprons, I still see them still.

It's not fair

And it seems impossible

That it happened at all.

That there were people who saw the herb girls.

But what's fair?

Anything is possible.

But can you understand that there were people who saw the herb girls?

It's not fair.

And it seems impossible

That there were people there.

There were people who saw the Herb Girls of Birkenau.

Mayfly

The fly

Of May

It lives

One day.

When that day is done

The MayFly does not complain.

It flies into the setting sun.

It goes back to the place

From which it came

The fly

Of May

Ask how

Ask why

One day

MayFly.

That's all

You get.

You give

No thought

To it.

Me, my life is long

With reasons few like you.

When I go and when I'm gone

I will understand these things

I never knew.

The fly

Of May.

One day one day one day one day

It's long enough

If you really think about it.

The fly

Of May

It lives

One day.

Christian Soldiers

Thing's I'm Gonna Do

against the law to talk about the

rocket in the park I send it

off to be examined by a

scientific team

on the moon, on the moon

on the moon, on the moon

I organise a council where the

prize goes unannounced until there's

in the trees a city, just some

leaves we left it pretty

long ago, long ago

long ago, oh so long ago

I have half a mind, it's cracked and breaking

it's recommended as great for tasting

spit in the face of a tried, and true one

these are things that I'm going to do

my cave is lit with tiny lights

I climb the stairs and catch the sights

of other people far below

I've heard of them, they think they know

I make no friends, I've got no spark

in my defence, I take apart

whats' put together easily

this is all true

I'll make it be

everyday, like Jesus he's not

up there he can't see us maybe

eyes uplifted slowly for affect

the land below me

far away, far away

far away, oh so far away

I have half a mind, it's cracked and breaking

it's recommended as great for tasting

spit in the face of a tried, and true one

these are things that I'm going to do

I make no friends, I've got no spark

in my defence, I take apart

whats' put together easily

this is all true

I'll make it be

I have half a mind, it's cracked and breaking

it's recommended as great for tasting

spit in the face of a tried, and true one

these are things that I'm going to do

DiamondMind

I want a diamond, I really do

I think that you should give me one

Then you can prove your love is true

And that the gift giving has just begun

I want that diamond, I want that thing

A tennis bracelet, a ring

It better shine, it better cut

I know it is expensive but...

What other way can you make four months of your measely salary last a lifetime

And what other thing have I ever asked you for

Besides...

The ability to read my mind

And I didn't get that either, Yet

I want that diamond, I want it so

All of my irritating friends will know

That I have worth, not only that

But that you love me even though I'm fat

I want that thing, I want it now

I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it

You can rob a store, There just is nothing I want more

Than diamond jewelry for me

And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me!

Even some little stud earrings

Give me the goddamned diamond!

How We Quit the Forest

The Ostrich and the Egret

Had a very fine flat to let.

Figurine hutch, no the place wasn't much, but they

Got a Peacock.

His belongings were meager but,

He was pretty, would bring good luck.

They would sing songs all around the piano and

Do the Cakewalk.

He would say what he's gonna do.

He would say what he wanted to.

Ostrich and Egret were filled with regret, but the

Rent's well worth him.

He felt things that they'd never felt.

Like the slap of a feather belt.

So still they sit by a fireplace silent.

A chill ran through them.

Ostrich and Egret and Peacock had very small dreams.

Thinking of them just reminds me of calendar scenes.

Nobody's laughing when everyone's weeping, it seems.

So that's How We Quit the Forest.

The scene wasn't what it used to be.

The scene is never what it used to be.

So, that's How We Quit the Forest.

The scene wasn't what it used to be.

The scene is never what it used to be.

So, that's How We Quit the Forest.

Watch T.V.

I'm the lucky one

Always having fun.

I tie back my hair.

I sit and watch T. V.

I see only me,

Though I look for you there.

Oh, where have you gone?

Were you canceled?

I change to channel 2.

You were the one

Who gave me all my answers.

I changed

So did you.

Try another show.

With the volume low.

I make up what they say.

Where it used to be your face

Is an empty space

Your co-stars look away.

Oh, where have you gone

And do you miss me

And what we used to do?

You were the one

Who'd talk and smile for half an hour

Always new.

I'm the lucky one.

I watch a re-run.

It looks a lot like you.

One star lost a family

One family lost a star.

That's why I wait and watch

To find out where you are.

One family lost a star.

One star, they lost their family.

That's why I sit at home alone

And Watch T. V.

I can watch forever

I can watch for hours

It just get better

It gives me power

I can watch for hours

I can watch forever

It gives me pleasure

It makes me better

I'm the lucky one.

Always having fun.
