1. _ The Waitress
So i want to kill this waitress
She's worked her a year longer than i
If i did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
But i believe in peace
I believe in peace, bitch
I believe in peace
I want to kill this waitress
I can't believe this violence in mind
And is her power all in her club sandwich
I want to kill this killing wish
They're too many stars and not enough sky
Boys all think she's living kindness
Ask a fellow waitress
Ask a fellow waitress

2. _ Sugar
Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If i could take twenty five minutes
Out of the record books
Sugar, he brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
And hammers, he used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with a bubble gum trade and
Sugar, bring me sugar
And all the robins bring, bring me many things but
Sugar, he brings me sugar
As far as i can tell
I've been gone for miles now
You know, and i know i don't know me very well
And i know, and you know if they found me out
Sugar, he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring, they bring me many things
But sugar, he brings me sugar

3. _ Purple People(christmas In Space)
Well hey do you do judo when they surround you
A little mental yoga will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
No matter what it takes she promises a show
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
I watch me be this other thing and never know
If i'm marooned o'er where the purple people go
Then lily white matricide from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
And on and on
The nurses make it clear
Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour, it could save the world
So hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
Aaa laaa, aaa haa, for her, for her, mmm hmm

4. _ Girl
From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way finds a way
And in the shadow she crawls
Clutching her faded photograph my image under her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
Yes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
And in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away
We'll i'm not seventeen but i've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree
She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe
In their coats anda in their do's yeah
Everyone else's girl maybe one day maybe one day one day one day
She'll be her own
Smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots
And in the mist there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as i twist i hold tight
And i ride to work every morning wondering why
"sit in the chair and be good now"
And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And i'm callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' my baby callin'
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

5. _ Josephine
Not tonight josephine.
In an army's strength therein
Lies the denouement. from
Here you're haunting me. by
The seine so beautiful, only
Not to be of use-- impossible.
So strange, victory- 1200 spires
The only sound, moscow burning.
Empty like the tuileries. like a dream
Vienna seems, only not to be of use- impossible.
In the last extremity -- to
Advance or not to advance- i
Hear you laughing
Even still you're calling me
"not tonight, not tonight
Not tonight"

6. _ Cooling
Maybe i didn't like to hear
But i still can't believe speed racer is dead
So then i thought i'd make some plans
But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
And peggy got a message for me
From jesus
And i've heard every word that you have said
And i know i have been driven like the snow
This is cooling
Faster than i can
This is cooling
Faster than i can
But do i hate what she is
But do i want to be her
And don't we love something fresh
Anything new, virgin
Woman you got too many brambles
Hiding under these bushes
Woman you got too many brambles
But i always liked a good storm
I'm always good for a storm
So then love walked up to like
And said i know that you don't like me much
Let's go for a ride
This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
And is your place in heaven
Worth giving up these kisses
These, these kisses
And peggy got a message for me
From jesus
And i've heard every word that you have said
And i know i have been driven like the snow, but
This is cooling
Faster than i can
Hey yes, faster than i can
Hey, this is cooling
This is cooling

7. _ Lust
Hey you gender nectar sifting
Through the grain of gold tripping at
Your door is that you. alpha in her blood
And when the woman lies you don't
Believe her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the underworld
Into your room
Is he real or a ghost-lie
She feels she isn't heard
And the veil tears and rages
Till her voices are remembered
And his secrets can be told
Hey you gender nectar
Crystalline from the vine
You know you'll drink her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging running free
Running through the afterworld
Into your room so she prays
For a prankster and lust
In the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
And he waits and he
Waits

8. _ Cruel
So don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness
Flaunt all she's got in our old neighbourhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends
Even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
No cigarettes only peeled havanas for you i can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel i don't know why
Dance with the sufis celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
Lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
Even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
No cigarettes only peeled havanas for you i can be cruel

9. _ Suede
Suede you always felt like suede
There are days i feel your twin
Peekaboo hiding underneath your skin
Jets. are revving yes revving
And this. has power over me. not because
You feel something
Or don't feel something for me
But because. mass. so big.
It can swallow swallow her whole star intact.
Call me 'evil' call me
'tide is on your side' anything that you want.
Anybody knows you can conjure anything
By the dark side of the moon. boy. and if
You keep your silence silencer on
You'll talk yourself right into a job.
Out of a hole into my bayou
I'm sure that you've been briefed my
Apsorption lines. they are frayed and i fear.
My fear is greater than my faith
But i walk. the missionary way.
You always felt like suede
There are days i am your twin
Peekaboo hiding underneath your skin
Jets. are revving. yes revving from
An ether twist .
Call me 'evil' little sister. i guess
I'd do the same. little sister.
You'll forgive me one day.

Hello mr zebra
Can i have your sweater
Cause it´s cold cold cold
In my hole hole hole
Ratatouille strychnine
Sometimes she´s a friend of mine
With a gigantic whirlpool
That will blow your mind
Hello mr zebra
Ran into some confusion with a mrs crocodile
Furry musselsmarchinfg on
She thinks she´s kaiser wilhelm
Or a civillised syllabub
To blow your mind
Figure it out
She´s a goodtime fella
She´s got a little fund to fight for moneypenny´s rights
Figure it out
She´s a goodtime fella
Too bad the burial was premature she said
And smiled

11. _ Bliss
Father i killed my monkey
I let it out
To taste the sweet of spring
Wonder if i will wander out
Test my tether to
See if i'm still free
From you
Steady as it comes
Right down
To you
I've said it all
So maybe we're a bliss
Of another kind
Lately, i'm in to circuitry
What it means to be
Made of you but not enough of you
And i wonder if
You can bilocate is that what i taste
Your supernova juice
You know it's true i'm part of you
Steady as it comes
Right down to you
I've said it all
So maybe you're a 4 horse engine
With a power drive
A hot kachina who wants into mine
Take it with your terracide
We're a bliss
Of another kind

12. _ Juárez
Dropped off the edge again down in jaurez
"don't even bat an eye
If the eagle cries" the rasta man says,
Just cause the desert likes young girls flesh and
No angel came
I don't think you even know
What you think you just said
So go on spill your seed
Shake your gun to the rasta man's head
And the desert- she must be blessed and
No angel came
There's a time to keep it up
A time to keep it in
The indian is told
The cowboy is his friend
You know that i can breathe
Even when i cheat
Should. should've been over for me
No angel came

Way to go mr microphone
Show us all what you don't know
Centuries secret societies
He's out commander still
Space dog
So sure we were on something
Your feet are finally on the ground he said
So sure we were on something
Your feet are just on the ground girl
Rain and snow
Our engines have been receiving your eager call
There's colonel dirtyfishydishcloth
He'll distract her good
Don't worry so
And to the one you thought was on your side
She can't understand
She truly believes the lies
Lemon pie
He's coming through
Our commander still space dog
Lines secure space dog
Deck the halls
I'm young again
I'm you again
Racing turtles
The grapefruit is winning
Seems i keep getting this story twisted
So where's neil when you need him
Deck the halls
It's you again
It's you again
Somewhere someone must know the ending
Is she still pissing in the river now
Heard she's gone
Moved into a trailer park
So sure we were on something
[so sure those girls now are in the navy]
Your feet finally on the ground he said
[those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now]
So sure we were on something
[and hold those tears cause they're still on your side]
You feet just on the ground girl
[don't hear the dogs barking]
So sure we were on something
[don't say you know we've gone andromeda]
Your feet finally on the ground he said
[stood with those girls before]
So sure we were on something
[the hair in pairs it just got nasty]
Your feet are just on the ground
[and now those girls are gone]

14. _ Spring Haze
Well i know it's just a spring haze
But i don't much like the look of it
And if omens are a god send
Like men breezing in
Certain these clouds go somewhere
Billowing outto somewhere
N a single engine cessna
You say we'll never make it there
All we do is circle it
Uh oh. let go. off on my way
Unsee this eternal wanting.
Let go
Way to go
So i get creamed
Waiting on sunday to drown
Waiting on sunday to drown
And i know it's just a spring haze
But i don't much like the look of it
But all we do is circle it
And i found out where my edge is
Ad it bleeds into where you resist
And my only way out
Is to go so far in
Billowing out to somewhere
Billowing out luna riviera
Waiting on sunday to land
Waitng on sunday to drown
Why. does. it. always end up like this
Waiting on sunday
So i get creamed
Waiting for sunday to drown

I've cried 1000 oceans
And if it seems i'm. floating.
In the darkness
Well, i can't believe that i would kep.
Keep you from flying
And i would cry 1000 more if that's
What it takes to sail you home
Sail you home sail you home
I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that i will run
You know that i will follow you
Over silbury hill through the solar field
You know that i wil follow you
And if i find you. will you. still remember
Playing at trains
Or does this little blue ball
Just fade away.
Over silbury hill through the solar field
You know that i will follow you.
I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that i will run
You know that i will follow you
These tears i've cried
I've cried 1000 oceans
And if i'm. floating.
In the darkness
Well, i can't believe that i would keep.
Keep you from flying
And i will cry 1000 more if that's

You know what you know so you go break the terror of the urban spell
This alliance you say 'i'm on the threshold of greatness girl' so you burn
Your pagoda through the congo till there's a broken bond
On the birth of the search white trash
My native son
It will all find its way in time
Blossom riot poof
You know what you know so you go chain her to your flow
She bites through your lean dried meatas she's
Going to the movie show
In a bath of gliter and a tiny shiver
She crawls through your lava sea
Black sahara
I'm stepping into your space oddity
It will all find its way in time
Blossom riot poof
The sun is warming
My man is moistening
On the bomb
On the bond

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hangin with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And i go at sleepy time
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is
Peel out the watchword just peel out the watchword
She knows what's going on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweeteaze are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's puttin on her string bean love
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is

And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much

18. _ Precious Things
So i ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after billy
Running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
He said you're really an ugly girl
But i like the way you play
And i died
But i thanked him
Can you believe that
Sick sick
Holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces
Of those beautiful boys
Those christian boys
So you can make me cum
That doesn't make you jesus
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them break their hold over me
Precious ...

19. _ Cloud On My Tongue
Someone's knockin on my kitchen door
Leave the wood outside
What all the girls here are freezing cold
Leave me with your borneo
I don't need much to keep me warm
Don't stop now what you're doing
What you're doing my ugly one
Bring them all here
Hard to hide a hundred girls in your hair
It won't be fair if i hate her
If i ate her
You can go now
You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tattoo
You're already in there
Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue
He goes then it goes
And kiss the violets as they're waking up
Leave me with your borneo
Leave me the way i was before
You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tatoo
I'm already in circles and circles and circles again
The girl's in circles and circles got to stop spinning
Circles and circles and circles again
Thought i was over the bridge now

20. _ Bells For Her
And through the life force and there goes her friend
On her nishiki it's out of time
And through the portal they can make amends
Hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
And through the walls they made their mudpies
I've got your mind i said
She said i've your voice
I said you don't need my voice girl
You have your own
But you never thought it was enough of
So they went years and years
Like sisters blanket girls
Always there through that and this
There's nothing we cannot ever fix i said
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and i were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There's nothing i can do
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its way
And now i speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes
But you are not her
And we go at each other like blank ettes
Who can't find their thread and their bare
Can't stop loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And i see it coming
And it's on its way

21. _ Glory Of The 80's
I took a taxi form la to venus
In 1985 i was electromagnetically sucked
Back into a party going on that night
It was the gory of the 80s with karma drawn up in lines
And 2 bugle boy models saying "baby it's a freebie
You sure look deprived." i had the
Story of o in my bucket seat
Of my wanna be mustang
Auditioning for reptiles in their
Raquel welsh campaign
In the glories of the 80s you said
"i'm not afraid to die" i said
I don't find that remotely funny, even
On this space cake high
And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear
Silicone party babies to the left
And joan of arcs to the right
No one feeling insecure
We were all gorge and famous in our last lives
In the glories of the 80s you said
"the end is nothing to fear" i said
Blow the end
Now baby who do i gotta shag to get outta here
And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish i had you back now
I met a drag king called venus
She had a velvet hologram she said
"my husband ran off with my shaman but they love me as i am"
In the glories of the 80s
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that blonde chick
That sings bette davis eyes and then
When it all seemed to clear
Just then
You go and disappear

Clouds descending
I'm not policing
What you think and dream
I run into your thought from
Across the room
Just another trick can i
Weather this
I've got a fever above my waist
You got a squeeze box on your knee
I know the truth is in between the
1st and the 40th drink
Concertina concertina a chill that bends
This i swear you're the fiercest calm
I've been in the soul quake
Happened here in a glass world
Particle by particle she slowly changes
She likes hanging chinese paper cuts just
Another fix
Can i weather this
I got my fuzz all tipped to play
I got a dub on your landscape
Then there's your policy of trancing
The sauce without the blame too far
Too far too far it could all get way too cheerful
Concertina i know the truth lies in
Between the 1st and 40th drink

Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and christmas parties
And i hate and i hate and i hate
And i hate elevator music
The way we fight
The way i'm left here silent
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of king never afraid to burn
And i hate and i hate and i hate
And i hate disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses that safely changed their color
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
