Mrs. Hyde 01:33
I finally broke something I see you broke some things too Let’s take apart the house, I guess Until it’s nothin’ but splinters and glue, oh Run away from me There’s a monster inside Wanted to be my Mrs. Jekyll But ended up my Mrs. Hyde
3.
Evil Streak 02:31
You feed my evil streak And it feels so good Yeah, you feed my evil streak And it feels so good good… The taste of honey on my lips So sweet I melt in the warm, pouring mist A fire burns inside of me The kind that burns down whole cities Good good…

I wanna see the sunrise pushin’ back the stars I wanna know the mystery that made the gods And feel the rays of light that birthed us, everyone And feel the rays of light that birthed us, everyone I wished for death when I lay me down to rest Prayed for an ending every time I rose I feel the weight of the guilt of the living that envy the dead Like they’ve no hope of achieving it Moving not unlike schools of fish, so caught up in the rhythm Pull of tide and stream so strong, still we try to kick against it From the bottom of a food chain rigged to reward de-evolution Unless it’s just in my walkin’ fish dream, oh…
5.
The Bomb 02:15
I got an emergency And the emergency’s mi-e-i-e-ine First time in history And the attention’s subli-e-i-e-ime Because when everything’s fine I am alone all the ti-e-i-e-ime Then came the tragedy It’s all such comedy Did you really love me The whole ti-e-i-e-ime? Is this your pornography Watching my whole life unwi-e-i-e-ind? We all like to be helpful But does it truly defi-e-i-e-ine your worth? You were worth more than that to me Before we survived the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bo-omb
6.
The Gov't 01:10
I’m goin’ home, I don’t need this aggravation Can I take you to your final destination? Country’s fine, taxes are in on time, and green looks good on you I just wish you’d pretend to be a little more interested You feel it too, the sun is setting, baby, what to do? Hope you enjoy your milkshake, foreign movies are confusing for me too I can tell your mind is someplace else There’ll be no kiss goodnight, just one more awkward silence for two
7.
Pale Posies 02:01
In spite of talk show recommendations I cut all my ties with fools Took a small plane across the sky Sailed myself back again Who need know why? The rules, they do not sympathize Take one goodbye Take it to the dance floor It’s raining green; The boss’s dread Pale posies not dead The color is a symptom of Your coconspirator ratted you out A better life is one without doubt Some trouble always finds me but my man is alive Your coconspirator ratted you out A better life is one without doubt Some trouble always finds me but my man is alive

Wolf Eyes 03:01
He howls over the ocean Reflection on the ocean Lunar cycle in motion Evil speaks through mystic potion Out on the town for good times She's seeking sins not hard to find Oh what a crime she's downing shots and looking hot… Tasty He enters looking sharp She's like a work of art Sculpted so well she casts a spell on him And his temptations And so she leaves with him, baby, where do they go? He takes her curiously to the beaches below A full moon tonight, sky clear as can be And there's a hunger inside that craves female flesh only He howls over the ocean Reflection on the ocean Lunar cycle in motion Evil speaks through mystic potion She howls over the ocean Reflection on the ocean Lunar cycle in motion Evil speaks through mystic potion You’re my fuckin’ meal now, prick!

Is it gettin’ hot in here? I need a love I need a love now, baby I need a love I need a love to get me through the night Or baby, baby, I will not be satisfied I need a love I need a love now, baby I need a love I need a love to get me through the night Or baby, baby, I will never see the light
10.
Did you say something to my like you have some sympathy? Well, I’ll say to you, “God bless your heart” ‘cause I prefer apathy for all the good it does me When you tell me, “God bless your heart” God bless your heart So tell me that you miss me, but don’t dare give me pity Because by now it’s grating/ God bless your heart ‘Cause if it were up to me, I’d accept no charity But something keeps me taking/ God bless your heart Eating, breathing, sleeping, not well, but sleeping Consuming, replacing cells, what a thing/ God bless your heart Existence as exercise, a meditation not wise Just incidental, you see/ God bless your heart God bless your heart I sought a purpose, you know Something that grows but don’t show There’s just a dark cavity/ God bless your heart You got a faith and it shows Tell me it fits when it don’t In my God-shaped hole/ God bless your heart I need a love that’s divine I really think it’s due time To spiritually unwind/ God bless your heart It works for you, I’m happy But I need something that bleeds And feels and fucks like me/ God bless your heart God bless your heart
11.
Do you Wanna go Party With me ‘Cause I Can’t stand One more minute of this day School’s too hard I wanna go skateboard with some friends I know Work’s too hard I wanna go see a movie with a girl I know We’ve all been there, woah-oh-oh We’ve all played that game before “Life’s too hard,” said the crybaby Do you Wanna go Party With me ‘Cause I Can’t stand One more minute of this day School’s too hard I wanna go skateboard with some friends I know Work’s too hard I wanna go see a movie with a girl I know We’ve all been there, woah-oh-oh We’ve all played that game before “Life’s too hard,” said the crybaby

All constellations to the end Let’s pretend like nothin’s wrong All consolations to your friend We’ll dance the night down into dawn Aw Sugar, if you thought that life was free Then you were livin’ free and easy Now that you’re on the ground with your feet Let’s take a walk down Corwin Street Aw honey, if you take my hand again Push that November way back when We’ll start anew and maybe start again Like we got rights or we pretend All constellations to the end Let’s pretend like nothin’s wrong All consolations to your friend We’ll dance the night down into dawn Aw Sugar, if you thought that life was free Then you were livin’ free and easy Now that you’re on the ground with your feet Let’s take a walk down Corwin Street Aw Sugar, if you thought that life was free Then you were livin’ free and easy Now that you’re on the ground with your feet Let’s take a walk down Corwin Street All constellations to the end Let’s pretend like nothin’s wrong All consolations to your friend We’ll dance the night down into dawn All constellations to the end Let’s pretend like nothin’s wrong All consolations to your friend We’ll dance the night down into dawn Aw Sugar, if you thought that life was free Then you were livin’ free and easy Now that you’re on the ground with your feet Let’s take a walk down Corwin Street Aw honey, if you take my hand again Push that November way back when We’ll start anew and maybe start again Like we got rights or we pretend All constellations to the end Let’s pretend like nothin’s wrong All consolations to your friend We’ll dance the night down into dawn Aw Sugar, if you thought that life was free Then you were livin’ free and easy Now that you’re on the ground with your feet Let’s take a walk down Corwin Street Aw honey, if you take my hand again Push that November way back when We’ll start anew and maybe start again Like we got rights or we pretend They had a lot to give but nothin lasts Pull their weary voices out of the past And give em a bull horn, make their sounds brand new And we’ll tell the story to some politician’s country too

Ships 02:13
Turn these ships, they’re [they are] contraband… Out on these waters we’ve seen a lot… Out on these waters we’ve learned the plot… Contraband…

This Song 01:41
Today I saw someone Who made my heart go pitter-pat Then she was gone Must be nice to be noticed by someone like me And carry on Movin’ with that bounce in your step And in your head this song Ba da… Today I saw someone Who made my heart go pitter-pat Then she was gone Must be nice to be noticed by someone like me And carry on Movin’ with that bounce in your step And in your head this song

I been dreamin’ ‘bout the ghost of Misty I been dreamin bout the ghosts of electric dams Callin’ up to a time of lost lores Callin’ up to the ghosts of another age Holy And I been sittin’ with the ghost of Catherine I been thinkin’ bout the golden minds lost to age Callin’ out for some salvation Gaspin’ for the breath to turn to the next page Holy/ Hallelujah/ Holy And I been thinkin’ bout the rhyme and reason I been frettin’ bout the chaos inherited The same fear passed through generations Heaven and Hell place holdin’ one more century To battle Holy/ Hallelujah…

I met a girl called Alice Themes, yeah By friends who seemed to know her well A clever play on words, I figured But her surname eludes me still First name is probably wrong too If paperwork matters to you Personally, to me she’s color Anyway, I just call her Baby She said her dancing name was Lou A reference beyond me too Seemed to make the other dancers giggle When I went to see her troupe performing in Bruges Her mother calls her Anastasia After the beloved cartoon princess that she resembles, ooh Annie for short is kinda lazy And so to me, she’s always Baby So many lives she’s seemed to lead A circus clown, a card shark, she sold weed I love to hear her tell her stories Basking in all her storied glory She once drove straight south from Alaska Ended up hiking in Japan Thus earned the nickname Sister Seeker From a monk who’s face is tattooed onto her right hand Major Babs when she was in the Navy And I’m sure that theres a story there Freckled Cher for most of 1980, But to me she’s always Baby Says, “Just don’t call me late for supper” Yeah to me, she’s always Baby
