- .38 Special
I'm drinking by myself, while everybody else, singing songs down in the park, brown paper bagging after dark, it's a plastic bag for me, carrying my groceries, a few cans of champagne, chose the high life, for the rain,
The door man calls my name, Good ole Joe sure knows my game, though he says it's the youth to blame, I can't say I feel the same, (yeah) I'll be nursing number one, then too soon beer two is done, and then its three four five six, empties again,
// there's still half the flask, I always forget I have, sitting in my office with, .38 special revolver, // *2
//sitting in my office with, .38 special revolver, // *2
Looking back through, another empty glass, to the past when I was, Too small, Peeking over the counter, that was too tall, stealing my first sip, of alcohol, this could be my last slug, to end it all.
//there's still half the flask, I always forget I have, sitting in my office with my, .38 special revolver//*2

- Drunken Waltz
This dream I had
I was wrapped in a bag
Something ? me
Till I fell empty
Till I was empty
And it drains me
If you are what you eat
If you are what you eat
- Future Radio
There's a story that we like to tell,
Down in the back room
we know so well,
Southside of Austin,
where these blackout
monkeys woke-up often,
in a dirty saloon,
yes, the room is a mess,
- Grocery Store No More
stars hang in the sky, but I can't close my eyes for even a blink, all those wicked thoughts are in my dreams, and it seems that I can't say I've been a good man, at the grocery store today, I went and I lost my mind, screamin' at the top of my lungs, a grown man shoutin' at everyone, and it seems, that I can't say I've been a good man, I've got a white sheet on my back, pinned in place with a little tiny red hot tack, and it's a wonder I'm countin' sheep, when I spend my days acting so unrestly, and it seems that I can't say I've
been a good man, and it seems that I can't say I've been a good man, no, 'cause I wasn't meant for the cities, I wasn't meant for buses and trains, so please forgive me if I'm acting strange, no more my darling, no more my
darling, no more my darling, no more my darling, when the sun goes down, when the moon comes up, when the feelings right, even if you might come home tonight, no more my darling, no more my darling, no more my darling, no more my darling.
- Jello
You look so good, you look like Jello
oh me and you could get down, if it were yellow
yellow jello, me and you, we would make quite a pair
people would stare and they'd dare to ask whats up with that
I said jello, lets get some yellow jello and mellow
we could be bed fellows, yeah
You and me, we'd be so slippery,if we were covered in jello
yellow jello, you and me, we'd look like quite a scene
- Junkie
Junkie
Ever since you left me, my clothes don't seem to fit, the beers are always empty, I quit trying to quit smoking my cigarettes ever since you left, Ever since you walked out my door, the bills keep piling up, I don't care enough,
All my family's worried about me, all my friends say they're worried about me what have i done for them to doubt me, it's not like i'm a junky for your love, it's not like i'm a junky for your love, just because.. Ever since you left me I won't pick up the phone, Every single time i do, someone asks me if you're home, I have to say no, they have to ask where did you go, The last time that I slept with you, was the last time i slept, I lie awake with every other girl, wondering if you wept, after you left, if only after you left, All my
family's worried about me, all my friends say they're worried about me, what have i done for them to doubt me, it's not like i'm a junky for your love, it's not like i'm a junky for your love.
- Keep Awake
I will kill you in your sleep
So you better try, try and keep awake
I will kill you in your sleep
So you better try, try and keep awake
I will kill you in your sleep
So you better try, try and keep awake
I will kill you in your sleep
So you better try, try and keep awake
- Long Distance Phone Call
Why am I the weird guy,
who always sits alone,
Why do i care,
When no one calls me on the phone, complacent, no one knows i have feelings too,
and i feel this way, especially when i'm with you,
you make me feel alone,
you make me feel like a long distance phone call,
you make me feel alone when i'm with you, you make me feel alone,
- Orson Brawl
There's a story that we like to tell,
Down in the back room we know so well.
Southside of Austin,
Where these blackout monkeys woke-up often.
In a dirty saloon, yes, the room is a mess,
Where the girls are over thirty,
And the boys are overdressed.
And on the stage played a man they'd call;
- Poison Oak
Poison, poison, poison oak,
You will reap what you have sown,
You’ll reap the seed of war,
You reap the seed of hate,
You reap the seed of love,
You can’t appreciate…
You’re poison, poison, poison oak,
See how far down your roots have grown,
- Reaper
Its the reaper, inside of me, creeping oh so quietly
A sleeper-cell in time of peace, sitting on its tendencies
For acting out so violently, a violet, silent tide at sea
Then red october suddenly, free the beast
Free free free the beast, let go the leash and watch it eat
Free free free the beast, pound your feet give it a treat
Its the reaper, inside of me, writhing absent-mindedly
Masochistic fashion suits me nicely, time clicks by boring days and nightly
- Robot Timberwolves
Running from these masticating faces chasing me out of the woods
It isn't good
It looks ?ing bad for me
I'm being chased by all these masticating faces
With teeth so sharp they're like razor blades serrated
I'm gonna die tonight
That's right, these wolves are right behind me
- Small-Lean
jesse camp
jesse camp used to be a t.v. star
jesse camp
jesse camp is now a homeless guy living out of his car
you might see him around on the street
he sure looks the same to me
but he's no longer on the mtv
he's in the cubicle next to me
- Smoke
I take myself down in my own reckoning that's beckoning me on
Still there's somethin' wrong with me, I don't know
Could it be all the smoke? (All the smoke? All the smoke? All the smoke? All the smoke?)
Away, away, away with me
I'm drownin' in my own ecstasy
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Away, away, away with me
I'm unimportant, c'est la vie
- Ugly Girl
She was young
But she liked to act younger than she was
She was Dumb
But she liked to act more dumb than she was
For such a young, dumb impetuous thing
Says if she goes then she'll go smiling
And of course, she'll leave a beautiful corpse
