1. _ Running Up the Stairs
She jumps up running, running up the stairs
She jumps up running, runnin up the stairs
She jumps up running, runnin up the stairs
She jumps up running, runnin up the stairs
Someone told her a long time ago
Someone told her a long time ago
Someone told her a long time ago
Someone told her a long time ago
You will remember when you're alone
You will remember when you're alone
You will remember when you're alone
You will remember when you're alone
No letters, no telephone
No kisses, no one will know
The front door is open, swinging in the wind
The front door is open, swinging in the wind
The front door is open, swinging in the wind
The front door is open, swinging in the wind
No letters, no telephone
No kisses, no one will know

2. _ Turning into Randolph Scott (Humid Child)
Turning into Randolph Scott
Some things never change
Dried up and solitary
Alkali on the range
Once she was a humid child
Nodding toward her place
Sleeping in her vegetables
Legumes for a face
Once she was a humid child
Now she ain't
Turning into Randolph Scott
Some things never change
Dried up and solitary
Alkali on the range
Carrots where her eyes were bright
Orange where she'd blush
Brussel sprout conditioned fists
Dropped string beans into her socks
Once she was a humid child
Now she is not
Turning into Randolph Scott
Some things never change
Dried up and solitary
Alkali on the range
Turning into Randolph Scott
Some things never change
Dried up and solitary
Alkali on the range

6. _ Pepe Hush
The sun comes up on a fleabag our hero checks in at four
He's snoring away on a dune rag but it's dawn and he'll snore no more
There's a cough, a sneeze, a dreadful bark, some woman yells hush up
The woman is louder than Pepe is but Pepe will not shut up
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
He bounds on the wall with his left foot and jumps on the bed with his right
The woman is screaming at Pepe and Pepe seems very uptight
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
He falls on the lamp with his face first and fries his nose on the bulb
He scratches his eye on the lamp shade and falls on the floor with a thud
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
That drove Pepe crazy, now Pepe knew something was up or down
The guy is completely unconscious and Pepe's got his ear to the ground
He barked for his mom to protect him
He barked for the clown at the desk
He barked for no good reason
Pepe was doing his best
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
So in a dream he advanced, he'd break that woman's arm
Her ulna did not stand a chance, but the dog would be the first thing he'd harm
He hung it outside on a power line and laughed as it emitted sparks
But when he regained his consciousness the first thing he heard was a bark
He said
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise

8. _ Other Day (Near Santa Cruz)
I met a guy the other day he said he had it all figured out
He claimed he was ecstatic and he proved it with a shout
"I like hippie chicks," he said, "they're not so damn dumb
They don't sing like Ethel Merman, they don't imitate nuns
"They comb their hair with porcupines and loofah their feet
And they become indignant when you threaten them with meat
Their windows grin like pumpkins filled with candles and beads
Their beds are all futonic and there's babies on their knees."
"But my mother wears a hat," he said, "extruded from a tank
And my sister reads good housekeeping and worships at the bank
My grandma loves Pat Robertson says he's it that's that
And my wife says I'm a lunatic but hippie chicks are where it's at."
He told me this while revving up his brand new pick up truck
He wore a leather hat and shades above a 12-pack gut
"I know where they got hippie chicks, they're all in Santa Cruz"
Then he jammed a tape in his Blaupunkt and drove off born to lose
Cause although he got the message he was deaf to the news
There are no chicks in Santa Cruz

12. _ Parade
Problems in a little town, disrupting of the rain
Diesel trains and firemen collecting in the shade
The rain's still a long way off, the snakes have got it made
But everyone's got off today
Everyone's got off today
One by one the windows shutting down with frowns
The wind comes up and funny papers rattle through the town
The rain is coming closer, the trees are bending town
But everyone's got off today
Everyone's got off today
Underneath the glass on the dresser drawer
Ticket stubs and photographs, never any more
And in the puddles on the lawns a tiny jockey stands
But everyone's got off today
Everyone's got off today
Everyone's got off today

13. _ Great Big Boy
I was 29 and it absolutely stank
I made a lot of friends and hung out at the bank
I bought a silly house on some very silly land
If anybody asked, I said this is who I am
Happy, contented, stuffed with dollar bills
I stood like a taxidermist's elk upon a hill
Suddenly I'm stupid and the world's too big for me
I hang my head and mumble my face between my knees
I find a little cave with a sign that says for rent
It looked a lot better than my place ever did
I found a way to live there so I am no-one's fool
When I look up I grin, when I look down I drool
I was 29 and it absolutely stank
I made a lot of friends and hung out at the bank
I bought a silly house on some very silly land
If anybody asked, I said this is who I am
Happy, contented, stuffed with dollar bills
I stood like a taxidermist's elk upon a hill

14. _ Big Mob on the Hill
They're burying someone at Forest Lawn
There's a big mob on the hill
They're burying someone at Forest Lawn
Novenas unnaturally still
They're burying someone at Forest Lawn
There's a big mob on the hill
Concrete sheriffs, smiling, sighing, asroturf
Benzodiazepine, Xanax and gin
Somebody's feeling no pain
Umbrellas, bumbershoots, polaroid shades
There's a big mob in the rain
Umbrellas, bumbershoots, polaroid shades
Somebody's feeling no pain
Turn back, the ocean is occupied
Leave your feet at the gate
Go home the sun's been amortized
They buried someone at Forest Lawn
There's was a mob on the
There's was a mob on the
There's was a mob on the hill

20. _ Driver
Way down there it's raining dust
And snakes police the roads
And a truck weighed down with misery stops and unloads
And 18 broken passengers, their blood as thick as mud
Beg for water, for anything the driver waves good luck
The sun's been frying lizards hidden under rocks
And now it fries the refugees and turns their brains to chalk
Eighteen men and women and one brand new pair of shoes
And the driver's back at the border, what's he got to lose
The night wind screams across the freezing ground
There's no one left to tremble or to fear for him now
Their bones are scattered drifting like the snow
That falls each night and settles all around his soul
All around his soul
