She Hated Dogs
03:48
|
|||
|
On the way to work
And another route around
She figured a way to work it out
But still it managed to let her down
It took a pirate, a gun, a trap
A pile of nails to cut the crap
For a dollar and a half
She found her way around the track
She piled the pelts, discarded the fat
And threw the rest atop the scrap
She tripped alarms, she left a trail
She tried escape to no avail
Forced my way through the door
She hated dogs, aerosol, folding chairs
A diagram and a book
Is all she needed, all it took
A bit of strength, a sharper hook
A way to force herself to look
She watched it shiver, she watched it shake
She kept the nausea at bay
Her terrible master plan
Was nothing in her hands
It sacked out, it made her tired
She laid it down, she built the fire
She ceased to care, she won't return
She fucked it up, she let it burn
Can't decide if there's more
She hated dogs, aerosol, folding chairs, slot machines
Marbles and corn
Geraniums, highways and porn
The final step
Some said was wrong
But now... she hated dogs

Everybody Out

If it breaks down, guess it's my fault
Lock me inside, turn out the lights
I feel so lost left with the crowd
You've got some nerve throwing me out
The closer I get the smaller you seem
You don't have shit if you lose me
I can't back down if you pull that
Don't you walk away, don't you walk away
If it's not right, if there's no time
get them out fast, I want them alive
You can't go back if I break down
Don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Sort it out quick, you can't take both
As much as you hold, much as you hold
Forty-odd dead, looks like we're next
Everybody out
If it don't stop...

Face Like a Horse
04:03
|

Veronica's car is like a disease
Her hand on the stick
She's parked behind the trees
That circle the house
Where her sister was born
October the fourth
A husband and wife
With six hundred kids
Dissolved in a glass
Fingers clutching at her lips
Slicked up with the lime
You could pour on a corpse
With a face like a horse
Their love is like cake
Cut four hundred ways
Four hundred and one
Bite down and salivate
The sugar is strong
Never mind how it tastes
Smear it over you face
Face like a horse
(it's no one's fault)
Wants a divorce
That really hurts
Stuck in reverse
Soup kitchen face
(it's all or nothing)
Latex and lace
Freaked out and sharp
Four months in hell
Don't hang up the phone
Turn out all the lights
And lay back in bed
Concentrate on my voice
I'm telling you lies
You'll never forgive
I'm telling you lies

Aeroflot
04:27
|
|||
|
Rippled up steps form depths
Never guessed at and less than
A crippled blind chess set
Sunk in a living room floor.
Children on the headset,
Daddy, can I fly the jet?
Am I old enough to test it
With defective hands,
Young and soft and crabbed.
The spoilers smack the air and drag.
The constellations dip and sag.
We didn't want to land...
Communists!
Off the roof,
Off the roof.
We can fly in the right state of mind.
Strap on wings,
Let her go,
Let her go.
We can fly, we can fly, we can fly...
Shattered knees,
Broken head,
Left for dead.
Cannot read DFDR, CVR.
Her tongue won't move,
All is lost,
AEROFLOT.
We can fly, we can fly, we can fly...
On the right, left, follow left, fall left,
Follow left, follow...

Up On The Hill
03:48
|
|||
|
You're on your own now
You wanna fight about it?
You're next to nothing now
It's all they write about
And forgive, forget
Which one you askin'
Forgive, forget
Which one you askin' for?
Up on the hill
You wanna fight about it?
You wanna watch me now?

Disconnect
03:34
|
|||
|
How will we come back?
Come back, come back
Burn down all the forest,
it's not half of what we need
I'd give it up, but it's enough
to let it burn and bleed
I disconnect it slowly
and I let out all the air
You can't divide your peace of mind
if it was never there
They're pushing back the children
and they're sending out the cops
I'd give it up but it's enough
To burn...

You Know So Much
06:33
|

|
It's much too late
Put him to bed
I'll break his neck
Come on, come on...
Who stands in the way
of all the trouble you have caused?
Old men sow the seeds of revolution once again
You know so much.
You know so much.
You know so much.

Bunnyman and Chickengirl
02:59
|

|
Bunnyman and Chickengirl,
Will meet and fall madly in love,
They'll have lots of children that they will devour because they lack human restraint.
Masturbate! Don't fornicate!
These things we do are not real. They don't divine fortunes, they don't defeat crime, they might explode in your mind.
(Repeat first verse.)

Hookworm
04:06
|

|
I am vermiform,
I am so pasty white,
On my face are platehooks,
I just want to share.
Once I dig right in,
It's hard to get me out,
You often have to cut me,
Cut me from myself.
If I make it through you,
If I get in to this
Ancylostomiasistic love affair
If I make it through you...

All My Friends/Drowning
07:51
|
|||
|
It's easy
No one seems to notice
Believe me
No one wants to know this
Don't bother
You don't need to force me
It's over
Let me out I'm freezing
All my friends
Once in a million
Don't worry
You don't have to answer
I'm sorry
Pull yourself together
You lost it
When you pushed me over
Forget it
I'm not worth the trouble
All my friends
Once in a million
DROWNING
They will say I went too easy
Lost and under arms of lazy
Forcing fleets of sleeping out
Craving air your selfish mouth
I am slipping down
I am lifted out
Forget me, we don't know what
happened
Rest my dear, we don't know what
happened
Oh, it's over
Oh, it's easy
