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

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…

Walkin' Fish Dreams
01:14
|
|||
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…

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

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

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

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!

I Need a Love
03:31
|
|||
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

God Bless Your Heart
03:05
|
|||
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

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

Constellations

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

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

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
