- Black Sea Brides
I bought some Black Sea brides,
You should see their insides,
It’s such a hoot when the first and second worlds collide
OK
Maybe it’s not like that,
Maybe I’m misreading the tea-leaves,
- Black Willow
Thin skin gets you nothing but love-sore,
You can wipe yourself clean, but you’ll mess up like before,
Strut in my direction and let me slip into your clothes
And I saw she undressed,
The tattoo on her breast of black willow,
I took her number from the back of a newspaper
Next to the obituary,
- Burkina Faso Lover
See that man with the (?),
General Locus’ favorite number two,
If you want to get somewhere,
He’s who you go through
I was revered for my American shoes,
This hotel has none of the amenities that I’m used to,
But I like it!
- Counterattacks
The child will grow up
To commit unspeakable acts
Like pushing random strangers
Onto the subway tracks,
"I love you” is a statement that self-attracts,
Life is just a series of counterattacks
I wish you can see me here,
- Destroy the Children
So what’ve we learned from this life they made us do?
I wasted all of my time on loving you,
They lined us up and paired us off in twos
Laughing that they pulled off this elaborate ruse
You control the world when you control the news,
And we refuse to choose, leaving us no choice but to
Destroy the children
- Driving Into Certain Death
You were driving into certain death,
Breaking into song and singing until your final breath,
You sent a recording of it on your telephone
And it's been such a long time, such a long, long time
Since you made any sense at all
You're sending such a clear sign,
- Dry Country
Aah-haa-haaah
Aah-haa-haaah
Aah-haa-haaah
Aah-haa-haaah
When you’re living in a dry county,
So dry, you can't hate no more,
Leave your dogs tied up by the door,
- Emergency Funding for the Arts
Live your whole life with the blinders on,
Keep sucking on the same dog you're sucking on,
Get back on the road and keep trucking on
Until the wheels fall off
And it hurts, and it hurts,
And it bleeds, and it squirts,
And you've tried everything,
- Enough Embarrassment for One Day
Young eyes are often windows into no soul,
Watch as the young days drag,
And dumb guys often overdose on rock ‘n’ roll,
And fashion comes in a bag
Oh, it all seemed so important long ago,
And the things they did to us on Monday,
But enough embarrassment for one day,
- Ever Since I Never Saw You
The rapido is the speed I go,
Will not go slow,
It's so in vogue –
To criticize what you don't know
From behind,
He's mighty fine,
When you walk the line
This time, I'm through – there's nothing more to do
- Fresh Faces
Oh oh!
Who you doing crime on?
Well, I thought you moved back to Berlin,
And now you need another back to climb on,
And I'm turning green,
Whatever does it mean,
When you're wasting your photography
On fresh faces
- Gimme Five
Sharpest knives for the five mid wives,
And you were just a dirty orphan,
We’re spending every second of our lives
Boozing on the new endorphin,
Reminds me of the time
Time took it's time with me,
Reminds me of the time
You talked to me
- Halloween Fingers
Notice she howls, as you find the right spot,
Halloween fingers stir every witch’s pot,
So stop all your bluffs and show me what you got
Or fold and cry away home
Yesterday’s actress has started to look hit,
Halloween fingers pinch every goblin’s tit,
So come to the States, where the lager is shit,
- I Am Repulsed By My Daughter's Lover
I took a cue,
A cue from you,
All my sins are now weapons too
I smelled the stench of your groom,
I think it's safe to assume ‒
Your rose has permanently lost its bloom
- I Don't Speak French
I met a girl named Gabrielle,
She was dressed in black and young as hell,
She took me to her domicile,
Invited me to stay a while
She fed me breakfast and fed me wine,
And later on we took the time
To explore each other's areas,
- I Want to Eat a Complete Stranger
What began as a harmless prank
Resulted in a fire,
And we've only got ourselves to thank
For the harpsichord and the liar, playing in the lobby of the bank
As we wait in the line of the souls on display,
I want to eat a complete stranger and confess the next day
- Japanese Bulls
When the Japanese bulls run in a parallel line
With the fabulous fools who feed on yours and mine,
I hope you’re holding me,
Cause when you hold me, I’ll never ever die
When the Chinese roadkill is on your plate
With a fortune cookie that holds your fate,
I hope you’re still awake,
- Litterbug
Another simulation that you walk me through,
But the taste in your mouth ain't good enough for you,
Spray a can of Raid until it turns you blue,
What’s a litter bug like me to do?
This love wont bio degrade for a thousand years,
Don't waste this moment with recycled fears,
We can make this day that you rue
- Loss of Life
Life's a ladder with disposable rungs,
So shout this shit from the top of your lungs,
Bees will sting, but they won't be stung,
I know, I know, I know, I know her
Shit I got to let you know I know
You don't care about my loss of life
You don't care about my loss of life
- Maria Sangrienta
Duquesa, viene conmigo
A mi agujero personal,
Necesito un besito,
Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
(?) comer de hacer humano
En el claro de luna,
- Meet Mr. Monkey
I think I'm going to pack it in
And head on down the road again,
I don't know where this trip will end,
But at least I've got my little friend
I'm travelling around the country,
Just me and my monkey,
Looking for a place to pull over,
- Mr. Shadow
Mr. Shadow,
Ever since you were a boy
You walked the earth in search of every ounce of Daylight that you could destroy
And I feel you,
When I push people down the stairs,
I like the small fleeting power that I feel when
I catch them unawares
- Omaha Steaks
What makes the people around you so great?
They focus all their energy on things they hate,
World keeps turning, but there's the breaks,
I just bought a couple more Omaha Steaks
And know,
Love's just a stone’s throw
Away from all we know
- One Policeman Leads to Another
Oh, mine is a vigorous tale ‒
I've spent years inside the whale,
You, my friend, on the other hand,
Content to run with the also-rans,
Mesmerised by the circle crops,
Scared to death of the bleeps and blops,
So you call the cops
- Pro Re Nata
I’m going to sleep ’cause some of us have to work in the morning
Do let us resume our feud tomorrow
We don't war on my ship (?) hurling dirty insults without warning
And guilty could interests stars as borrow (???)
Oh you were the ravenous one but you’re always eating
Stopping only cry
I was the fastidious (mysterious?) one oh often self defeating
- Running out of Potato
It's up to you to push me through
Your one-dimensional head,
And all the books we read prepared us for nothing,
Praise the Lord he gave us Tahiti,
Let’s raise his child by comity
You will eat your words tonight,
Served up with a smile and a pile of greens on the side,
- Saddam Hussein
Now listen boys and girls,
It’s an interesting world,
Sometimes you gotta cut your way through the cane
For instance, it’s 2004,
When the casualties of war
Were being washed away by the television rain
- Stretching out the Tunes for Mario
Your only life is happening now,
And nobody wants you,
This gun is yours to use as you please
Freak world beckoning to me,
Show us your love that smothers you now,
And how it longs to see you,
Drain colors … been Devil’s …
- The Earth Side of the Moon
Meats, fruits and vegetables,
Grains, and dairy,
There's a town in Indiana
Known as Gary,
And it's quite scary
Let's wander into the desert
So I can look at your eyes,
- The Marching Band That Never Goes Away
Let’s give our thanks today
To the big machine we must obey
And the marching band that never goes away
Aah
They say, your soul’s worth saving
And trick you into misbehaving
- The Termite Queen
Have you seen
The latest version of the termite queen?
Her eyes so very green,
Her lips every color in between,
And she dines on aging oak
To fuel the fire she's born to stoke
To give some rise to you,
Oh Lord, I've seen it too
- The Wild Rose of Boise
She was the first in a long line of cursed
Sisters of Italian daughters,
She lived unrehearsed
And she drove her own hearse
Into the cold Snake River waters
Oh let’s do see her dance to the hills
Like a ghost,
- Totally Unqualified
We're carrying the heaviest load,
And we’re carrying for the culture vultures,
They're making more heads explode,
And now our heads are attached to bodies
When the shit hits the fan, I run and hide,
That's what makes me totally unqualified
To love you
- We Will Leave You in Toronto
We will leave you in Toronto with a suit and tie,
We will leave you in Toronto, you will never know why,
We will leave you in Toronto, leave you by the lake,
Won’t be long before you realize it wasn't a mistake
When the falling stars come here,
They fall in perfect lines,
And your mind don't always see clear,
