Above the Ocean
02:11
|
|
||
Horseshit is flowing out of my mouth
In the form of words to you
'Cause I was born with some horrible infliction
That prevents me from ever getting to know the real me
How can you seem so far away
When we live in the same fucking state
And in my dreams we can live above the ocean
But only in my dreams will we live above the ocean
The ocean

Colorado's Dead
02:42
|
|

Colorado's dead
And then the sun goes down
Do you think that she's still around
Just over some other town?
The flowers in your eyes
Just like a phone that rings
Do you think that it's death disguised
Or a combination of a couple of things?
Lilies in the field
That nearly killed the lamb
With all their colors and lights
And the grass and the beads and the blood on her hands
So when the morning comes
Will we melt in the sun?
Are we part of that infinite light
Or are we just really over and done?
Colorado's dеad
Colorado's dead
Colorado's dead

I Take My Life Seriously
02:45
|
|
||
So pretty, though wrapped in paper
Warm and soft like in her bed
So sacred, though scarred and scary
Like the soft spot on a baby's head
I take my life seriously
Like baby plants crawling up through the sidewalk
Or the orange, orange sky on Easter ten years ago
Making me feel inferior and small
It may always stand over me, towering and tall
And all i can do is my best
So surrender your heart to the benign indifference
Of this world you currently live in
And search for holes in all of your thinking
But watch your step because you might fall in
And start making bad decisions like me

Parakeet on the phone, I'm getting cold
Setting fire to my shoes, my tongue's getting loose
On the straightest line once you crossed that river in your mind
Leave the boat behind, my tongue's getting tied
All these words, they sound like dirt
I met you in church
Burning the flag
I was on the ground
A city full of trees, a man lives inside
It's a children's book, feel every leaf
And watch as the laundry detergent sails from the sky
Into your mind
And out of your mouth
And into your mouth
I was on the ground

Darling
02:04
|
|

Darling, pieces of you are slowly falling out
I'll pick them up and put them in my mouth
In hopes that you won't drift too far away
And won't forget the memory of us here
Any time
Any time
Your cold dry hands step in to rip our side in half
La la la la
Laa
Any time
Any time
Darling, pieces of you will slowly fall apart
I'll pick them up and force them into my heart
To feel your smelly body all our fears
For seven months, and we will meet in outer space
Any time now
Any time now

Where are the words?
There are no words
There is only hurt
And buried in the couch cushions
The material is all printed with flowers
And the body way to hide
And the body way to hide
And the body way to hide me
You overheard me spilling words
Onto the floor
Smiling through, some part removed
And the taut in-line around your body
And in the air in front
And in the air in front
And in the air in front of me
The heart will live
Around this room, you were born
And colored lines on the floor
And a locked door
Were you sent to protect me?
And the body way to hide
And the body way to hide
And the body way to hide me
And when you die
I'll be by your side
Just like I was with your sister

Birds for You
01:53
|
|
||
These words aren’t true
What do you want them to do?
Turn into birds for you
Turn into words for birds for you
These words aren’t you
Just passing through
They will be gone soon
Turn into dirt for words for birds for you
Look at it now, is it a dog?
Look at it now, is it a painting?
Loo at it now, it’s all around
Look at it now, watch it change with the sound
These words aren’t true
What do you want them to do?
Turn into birds for you
Turn into dirt for words for birds for you

Cornflake Eyes
03:10
|
|
||
Dumb dog with cornflake eyes
I held you once or twice
For a moment but then you were gone
For a moment but then you were gone
Dead horse below white sheets
I held you underneath
For a moment but then you were gone
For a moment but then you were gone
Go take off your hat one day
I say sing the chorus, girls on fire
Under grey side of tire
Dumb dog with cornflake eyes
I held you once or twice
For a moment but then you were gone
For a moment but then you were gone

And I've asked myself a million times
Why didn't just take my sisters and nine
And all of the hate we leave behind
And all those bottle tears in leaves but
Remove the velvet from between her vertebrae
And all the holes lead deep inside
Sincerely smoldering in her misery
Slipping from her stomach when she cried
All that we hold holding and then this
Will slip away or slowly die
Melt between us all over the pavement
All shivering and sweating and breathing
Though it makes it at the always happen
Hovering the trees with lights
And all the arms that have swung around me
Like a robins nest with eggs inside of
Now we go off in search of kindness
Through a life willing and beautiful
We know we can't take others with us
Though a comment on how it feels just like a brother

My Girl
01:49
|
|
||
My girl's got arms growing
Where her legs should be
And she's got a pigs head sewn on
Where her head used to be
And she can only live in formaldehyde
She can only live in formaldehyde
Oh, I love her so
Does she love me?
I don't know

Carabell
03:47
|
|

Carabell calls me
From the front yard
She has climbed up an orange tree
She needs help down now
She is burrowing into the couch cushions
Kind of like I used to do before I lost my marbles
She is burrowing into the couch cushions
Kind of like I used to do before I lost my marbles

I Am
01:46
|
|
||
I am the world spinning round inside of you
I am the animal that ripped your heart in two
I am the blood flowing out through your nostrils
You have destroyed with horrible chemicals
I'm your shirtless father in the front yard beating you
I am your brothers begging him not to
And I'm your pregnant mother crying in the bathroom
I'm your pregnant mother crying in the bathroom
And I am an offer you cannot refuse
And I am the dress you were soon to infuse with
I am the androgyny that used to confuse you
I am your androgyny that used to confuse you
I am your late night TV addiction
I am the reason you can't pay attention
I'm the only girl that could ever love you
And I'm building a pet cemetery inside of your heart

Ant Mary
01:54
|
|

Ant Mary lives in the wall
And her blood is made of rosewood
And all you found
No longer hurts
And in a, in a, in a wall
And now she watches to see you grow tall
But her eyes are made like doorknobs
All cause of you
Only his life
Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda
Be the darkness in their eyes
She's tearing pieces off from the organs
Into her mouth
And smiling out
Oh, in a, in a, in a, wall
Won't break her heart
Won't break her heart
Won't break her hear
It's made like mothballs
|

Followed when I heard the call
But it didn't lead me anywhere at all
Though that ain't exactly true
'Cause it left me right here with you
Praying that the world don't hurt her
As it tears me away from you
Stuff like that second'll lead to murder
It's strong enough to float a horseshoe
Followed when I heard the call
But it didn't lead me anywhere at all
Though that ain't exactly true
'Cause it left me right here with you
Praying that the world don't hurt her
As it tears me away from you
Stuff like that second'll lead to murder
It's strong enough but what would you do?

My Pickled Pigs Feet
01:37
|
|
||
Sink your teeth into my pickled pigs feet
And let it waste 'round your tongue
When all you taste is the taste of meat
I hope it's me you are now drunk off of
I am evil
I'm all around you
You punch your girlfriend
I am the cough syrup an Indian made
That slowly chewed your brain away
Until you were tricked into
Believing life was only supposed to be pretty for you

(Western Wind)
This Western wind blows us around
Clever as sin with the ribbons in her hair
She thinks she owns this whole damn town
But I've discovered what you're all about
And it's just thin air
That's blowing around everywhere
Candle burns, she blows it out
She takes it back onto herself
And then the darkness gets all around
But it remains like the ghost from the light
In her eyes, and her hair
Is blowing around everywhere
What a sight for sore eyes
But I'm nеver satisfied
This Westеrn wind is turning South
She got fed up, she's getting out
It may be North just like the moths
Just like your friend said but now he's lost
Into thin air
Just blowing around everywhere
I'm ready to go...
I'm ready to go...
(Charlie Brown)
Charlie Brown is melting
And all my friends have locking arms
To protect each other
Because this place ain't helping
And all these lies are made from wire
Where you treat yourself like dirt
But now something's growing
Out of what you always were
And you wanted
I drink the water flowing
Out from the tree in the backyard
Where the summer can't hide
Gopher, stick your tongue out
Now there's another fear here
And all your art's about
How there's another ear to
Gopher, stick your tongue out
Now there's another fear here
And all your art's about
How there's another ear to
Hear you shout
All about

Eat Up
01:45
|
|

Eat up, you need your strength
Go to school, you've got to be brave
Chase those vampires back into their caves
Stay strong this world needs you
Beat up anyone who offends you
Do it now, you might not get another chance to
Besides they deserve it
Almost as much as you do
So eat up
And throw your body into the gears of this machine
That spits you out terrified of human beings
But it's only love
I think it's what you need
So throw your body into the gears of this terrifying machine
Drink yourself ill on more than one occasion
Buy a puppy even though you'll outlive his life span
And watch his life disintegrate in your hands
Stay calm, it might help you
