5,500 miles
Across the Texas plain
Just to look at the mountains
Just to not go insane (insane, insane)

5,500 miles
Across the Texas plain
Just to look at the ocean

Happy with no teeth, happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach, starin' at the situation
Kitty at my foot, meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back 'n' forth, that's my only destination
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch, and that old man is me
Old man on the back porch, old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch, and that...

Had a dream
Magic Johnson was there
He autographed the ball
A small rubber ball
Ten feet tall
Big puffy shoes
Are the cameras on?
Are the cameras on?

Little salamander, where did you go
The edge of the yard
I found you, you know
All brown and hard
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body
I can't get your body out of my mind
I can't get your body

Сиэттлская группа The Presidents Of The USA всегда отличалась от своих прочих земляков чрезвычайно оптимистичным мировоззрением и использованием минимума средств для исполнением музыки. Басист коллектива Крис Бэллью, к примеру, всегда пользовался исключительно двуструнными бас-гитарами, а его коллега гитарист, не желающий отставать от линии минимализма, никогда не ставит на свой инструмент больше трех струн.

Well.. I.. happened to..
Find me a buggy
Coming out from under a rock in the grass, yeah
He got his bug luggage
No time to talk he's walkin' fast, yeah
Said he's heading for a log where the lady bugs are plentiful
He showed me some brochures and I must say it was beautiful
I'm belly down and bendin' back the blades

Comment 'allez vous!
Une, deux, trios, quatre

Wham! Bam! Mon chat "splash"
Git sur mon lit
A bouffe sa langue
En buvant (tronc) mon whiskey
Quant a moi

Sugar's only sweetness
Salt is ocean tears
And you were my only weakness
For years and years and years
You little yellow sweetie
You were hiding in a jar
Now my mind is gone completely
Take off the lid and there you are

You've been kickin' on me
I've been kickin' on you
You've been kickin' my tree just to suck on the fruit
Mop up my troubles and you throw the old sad days away

I've been pickin' your fleas
You've been pickin' my fleas
I've been pickin' this guitar underneath your lovin' tree

Three four!
Three four!
Three four!
Three four!

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

hangin' in the stars suspended from the dark
life is long and heavy like a shadow on a spark and it will blow
massive killer orb floating around
looking for a spot to blast the good guys on the ground before they know
what hittem from above

death star something so incredible
death star something indestructible

i got erased cause shes a deleter
wiped off the face of the earth and gone
shot into space cause shes a deleter
im a repeater shes a deleter now im gone
shes a deleter now im gone

well there used to be blood in my heart but its gone
planets were hangin in space now there gone

Drooling! Drooling!
Drooling! Drooling!
Drooling! Drooling!

I wanna run my nose through your hair
But if I did I think I'd lose it there
I wanna swallow your little mouth
But if I did I'd lose my water wings and drown (I'd lose my wings and drown!)

A little blind spider took the wheel
Navigatin' grass blades completely by feel
Gotta... sassy chassy... sparkle in the sun
All four small bald fat tires rockin' through the sand and burnin' up
Little dune buggy... in the sand
Little blue dune buggy... in my hand
Okay, I got a rubber band motor hummin' on the beach, ready for fun
Quit spinnin' that web and come out and play in the sun

French girl has a problem
French girl has a problem with the world
She sees it as a black place,
a place that wants to strangle her good time
Don't ever get involved with a french girl

French girl has a reason
French girl has a reason for hurting boyfriend

(mmmm)
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Rolling Stone magazine... sucked him dry and made him king
Froggie let rip with a big burp
And froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Mick Jagger kissin' froggie's lips... studying films of froggie's hips

George, George, George of the Jungle
Strong as he can be
Ahhh
Watch out for that tree
George, George, George of the Jungle
Lives a life thats free
Ahhh
Watch out for that tree

ghosts are everywhere
inside big old bass tones and deep in the belly of a fish
i cant help noticing their pearly teeth are flickerin
ghosts are everywhere
some are superstars with preformed plastic paste on hair
driving hiding behind sunglasses and just cant help out but stare
and i hear them singing:

I been thinkin' bout heading out where I've never been
I been thinkin' bout finding out how to find the end
I been thinkin' bout freaking out if I can just find the time
and these ideas are leaking out so put a plug in my mind
I'm thinkin' bout sneaking out with nowhere to go
I'm considering dropping out stepping out of the flow
off all these radar scopes to a place far below

Well I'm mad, pissed off about this whole affair
I'm mad, I can't believe that we don't care
I'm mad, how can you say just do it
We completely and totally blew it
I'm mad, that much is true
I'm mad, I'm mad at me and I'm mad at you
I'm mad, aw can't you see
Our overwhelming stupidity

Woo!
Woo!

Big Shiny jet plane in the sky
Please drop us off as we fly by
We're an American band
And everything is rockin' outta control
When we hit Japan

And she's got safety pins and string holding it together
She can only wear her jacket in warm weather
Although the sleeves need to be shortened
The fact that the arms are falling off isn't important

(Because) Jennifer's jacket, Jennifer's jacket, Jennifer's jacket,
Is falling apart
Jennifer's jacket, Jennifer's jacket, Jennifer's jacket,

sent a probe through a massive storm
a million molecules make it warm and a storm is born
and the star had some sons and daughters
some with some without water
some cool and some run hotter
we blast an astronaut through the gasses
and do our best to save their little asses
come home don't rocket past us no

Well I've been elected to rock your asses 'till midnight
Well this is my term and I've shaved off my perm, but it's alright
I solemnly swear to uphold the constitution
Got a rock 'n' roll problem, well we got the solution
Just let me be who I am, and let me kick out the jams, yeah
Let me kick out the jams, I done kicked 'em out
Well, I've been selected to orbit the planet in a rocket (in a rocket)
I'm goin' to Mars, I got a message for the poodle in your pocket

meow meow meow meow meow meow
meow meow
meow meow

little bag of bones been out all night
little bag of bones been out all night
can you hear him scratchin' at the screen door
can you hear him scratchin' at the screen door

Your so awful, your so ugly
So unattractive, so hard to get along with
I'd like to hurt you, I'd like to leave you
Cut these chains and release me
It's been a long time I spent my whole life
Trying to please you, trying to make you smile
But your fashionable unhappy
I'm lazy so I love you for a while

Prrrrrr!

Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha!
Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha!

Freckles and eyes of brown
I'll take a big patty of cow
Beautiful pearly statue

loose balloon
how high can you fly
youre a loose balloon
before you pop and you die
loose balloon you made that little kid cry
when you took off the sun

just this morning you were flat and deflated

1, 2, 3!

Woo!

You gotta love everybody, make 'em feel good about themselves
You gotta love everybody, make 'em feel good about themselves
(You Got To!) love everybody tonite!
You gotta love everybody tonite!

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into Lump's pajamas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas

She’s lump, she's lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she's lump, she's lump

I will survive in my Mach 5
In my Mach 5, I will survive
Yeah, Yeah
I will survive in my Mach 5
In my Mach 5, I will survive
Yeah, Yeah
I bring the hammer down
A tiny crushin sound

I was standing quiet alone in a crowded disco
When a man I did not know showed me the door
And told me I had to go
Well that kind of humiliation never happens on farm
That's why city living does the pysche such harm
And I said

Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire

You'd think she took me for a ride
she held it all way up inside
she held her breath and turned her face all red
that's how they found her in her bed all dead and this is what I said

She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
air ball punch line delivered with a twist and

Wow!
Alright!
Yay!
Whew!

Tiny turtle in a can
Dig a living room in the sand

1, 2, 3, 4

You never had rabies
You never gained weight
You never drank poison
You watched what you ate
You never came home with a terrible scar
You never so much as put a scratch on my car

In the hazy light I see
Lonely crow, dark green dream
I got no paddle and I got no shoes
I'm solo in a rawhide canoe

Hundreds of them little bug eyes
Them drooly runny glassy eyes
Smilin' through the foggy soup

I can't explain glacial motion
Or why Los Angeles don't drop into the ocean
I can't unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history
'Cuz those lucky suckers, they don't have to work
Big 3-D billboards and big 30-foot Smurfs
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me, I'm naked and famous

(Spoken:) Nova...novocaine

Tumble forward into insanity
I have got the cure
18 miles off of the beaches
And it will hit for sure
Siren blastin' out the storm warning
So loud I feel struck dumb

you don't need nothin don't need nothin don't need nothin from me
you shoot out evil rays
you say you don't love don't love don't love me no more

but you told a different story yesterday
you took a trip you took a trip and didn't bother tellin me
that you were going away
you say you don't owe me don't owe me no explanation

Movin to the country,
Gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin to the country,
Gonna eat me a lot of peaches
Movin to the country,
Gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin to the country,
Gonna eat a lot of peaches

Ow!

(Spoken through gritted teeth: "Wanna push it, wanna rip it, wanna kill it!")

Girls, girls, girls, girls are so polite
They don't crush everything that they see
You can take 'em to a funky funky forest with big glass spiderwebs
Hangin' from the ceilin'

Little puffy cloud with a tounge
Floatin' over a cheese puff rug a lug
If I had a choice between those two
I obviously choose the one with the puffy little shoes

Shoe oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oos... my puffy little shoes

Little skinny chicken on my plate

I wanna rot in the sun
I wanna rot in the sun
I wanna rot in the sun

This is a beautiful life
Just 'cause it catches the light
Gonna let it all slide
Like butter on a warm night

Here come Monday mornin'
Life is open wide
I hide my fat bites

Here come Tuesday mornin'
Sun is cold and low
I don't care, I'm in the flow

I invited salmonella poison
They brought their blushin' daughter, stuffed into a tux
I invited all the guitar heroes
We threw away the guest list, and lost a thousand bucks

I called all the local geniuses
They wrote the guide for the perplexed and the drunk
Wild eyed they came from all directions

I had a girl
Yeah, had is the word
I tried to hold on
But it was pretty absurd

She said she loved me
And I said I loved her too
But we weren't havin' any fun

Bird, you made me walk on dirt
My fin got all hurt
But I didn’t care because I had it in for you
You met me in the mud
We got as close as we could
And that is why I swim and swim down the drain

If I could walk and breathe air

Bird, you made me walk on dirt
My fin got all hurt
But I didn't care because I had it in for you
You met me inthe mud
We got as close as we could
And that is why I swim down the drain.

If I could walk and breathe air

You, Lynard Skynard hat
And me, little kitty
Sat across with a velvet jacket
Wild orange hair, and dark, dark eyes
I gawked like a 12 year old smitten
Carla the stripper, straight from L.A.
You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth
Let's be pals someday (in other words)

You're The One
You're The Sunshine
You're The One
You're The Sunshine
Everytime I see you, everytime I see you, everytime

You're The One
You're The Sunshine

Love child to Genghis Kahn
And a beautiful busty Amazon
On the Death Star with her godfather
Darth Vader... and nine months later

But that's impossible
Yeah, she's super-collosul
She'll make a fascinating fossil

ooooh
she play the drums like a queen
got the prettiest hi hat cymbal I've ever seen
I could fix a broken bass drum beater
if I had the courage to go up to her and meet her
she gives off such a soothing vapor
a cooling effect she use to smooth her temper
wish I had all she ever needed to give her

Hey!
Had a girl and she did me wrong
I didn't let that kinda shit go on too long
Split the clouds and divided the sea
Showed that evil girl how nasty the tiki god could be
She didn't call no more nor bother me
My little tiki god made sure I'd live in peace
One day I read they found a body in the river

I had a girl and she did me wrong
I didn't let that kinda shit go on too long
Split the clouds and divide the sea
Show that evil girl how nasty the tiki gods could be
She didn't call no more nor bother me
My little tiki god made sure I'd live in peace
One day I read they found a body in the river
Tiki God, wow, you make me shake, you make me shiver, alright

Runnin' to and fro
Hard workin' at the mill
Never fail in the mail
Here come a rotten bill

One, two, three, trem-el-o!

Tremolo Blooz
Ain't got nuthin' ta looze
Ain't got nuthin' but my tumblin', mumblin' blooz
From my puffy head on down

Breeze came out, first when i was born

Wohoo!

Blooz came out, first when i was born
Bent down to catch a rose and I caught a thorn
Hey miss munky, how'd you get so blue
Munky looked up with her teary eyes and said "I been missin' yooooo"

She's got those Tremolo Blooz

Vestina, Vestina
Your advertising agency folded today
Vestina, Vestina
The future is brighter anyway, 'cause

If you're gonna sell it, sell it to me
If you're gonna sell it, it's for free
If you're gonna sell, sell it directly to me!

lets be there when the manmade sun comes up
keep me warm through the nuclear freeze
lets you and i see whats this city looks like
heated to one million degrees
to hell with stayin underground
drink water from a can
youre a warhead baby
i am a nuclear man

We're not gonna make it
No, no, we're not gonna to make it
'Cuz there's a million better bands
With a million better songs
Singers who can drum
And singers who can sing
Deep in my heart, I do believe
We're not gonna make it

Zero Friction (Zero Friction)
Zero Friction (Zero Friction)
Zero Friction (ooooo-ooooh)
In My life

Huge space station
Man it with a chimp until it dies
Zero Friction
