1. _ Brackish Boy
This man he was a mexican
Oh yeah
Adopted into norwegian
Oh yeah
Turned into american
Oh yeah
But he felt a mexican
Oh yeah
He was a walking fish
Oh yeah
Down mexico way
He had to learn spanish
Oh yeah
He was a walking fish
Oh yeah
He was feeling so brackish
Between norwegian and english
He decided it was time to go
To find the people that he did not know
But the road to mexico
Oh yeah
They sure go fast but they should go slow
Oh yeah
Its a dangerous road
By now you know that he was fucked
By now you know he had no luck
He was smashed head on by a giant truck
Down mexico way

2. _ Los Angeles
I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
Dancing the beta can-can
Making me foreign
Oh yeah
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
No, not the one in south california
The got one in south patagonia
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
They got a bunch down in moleville
They got a bunch more still
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one is los angeles
They got one in twenty-five two five
Works just like a beehive
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
Counting helicopters on a saturday night
The symphony of the fair light
I hear them saying los angeles
In all the black and white movies
And if you think they star-spangled us
How come we say los angeleez?
I'll wait in los angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way
I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
He got a betatron, man
Talking that foreign
Oh yeah
I'll wait in los angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

3. _ Fu Manchu
You heard about
A criminal man of virtue
Is there any doubt
His minimal strands would suit you?
Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
Ill never lose
My fu manchu
My fu manchu
Let them grow out
In time youll feel so better
The vanishing pout
Now youre a real go-getter
Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
Ill never lose
My fu manchu
My fu manchu
Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way

4. _ Two Spaces
This gravity
Is feeling like a tether
I want to want to be
So high above the weather
All frequency around
Without a sound
And theres today
And theres two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to
This big old sea
Is feeling like a pleasure
I look cautiously
At all the falling treasure
With some frequency
It comes down
Without a sound
And theres today
And theres two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to

5. _ Don't Ya Rile Em
Im seeing how boring it gets
Back where the sun never sets
And a day is really two days
I was feeling so tired inside
My eeys were stitched open so wide
It was making me kind of uptight
Oh yeah
All right
And the power man says
Dont ya rile em
Going asylum
Dont ya rile em
Going asylum
Tonight
Tonight
Ive been working my way back to sane
Its coming back to me again
Old navigational ways
Back in time where i belong
Theyre playing my favorite song
That whistling meteorite
Oh yeah
All right
And the power man says
Dont ya rile em
Going asylum
Gont ya rile em
Going asylum
Gont ya rile em
Going asylum
Tonight
Tonight

6. _ Czar
Time
If he could travel time
He would have been on time
Instead of making rhyme
He didn't need a band
He was a moutain man
Oil
The national turmoil
They hide it in the soil
A singer and his spoil
Just singing thanks
I've got my own gas tanks
And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bars
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called czar
Blue
Extraodinary blue
Ten million porthole views
They're saying on the news
The russians just said "no,"
"you can't go"

7. _ Old Black Dawning
I hung around
On the planet mabel
She tried to stand
But she was not able
She tried to find the truth
She tried to colonize space
She only had a few
But it was a good race
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning
I'm always happy to
Go down to old tucson
After you had your fun
It's time to move on
I've got a favorite story
About the tower of babel
Some say it's true
And some say it's a fable
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning

8. _ Parry The Wind High, Low
And if a ship meets your car
You know you can't go real far
Well they could treat you real nice
Or put a tracking device
Way down inside
I'm checking out inventions
At the ufo convention tonight
Planes above the hilton make it sunny
Brought my money tonight
Blue blond ladies of abduction
Strumming guitars of instruction tonight
A lot of wannabe truckers
Making eyes with starfuckers tonight
I've got my hands on some sights
Electric glasses with lights
They got me feeling deluxe
For just a couple of bucks
Way down inside
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
They're waving hi from some gazebo
Waving on to arecibo to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like desmond dekker to me
Sleep machine
In your silo
Transmarine
Things you've never seen
Parry the wind high, low

9. _ I Heard Ramona Sing
I had so many problems
And then i got me a walkman
I really liked it a lot and
They walked right in and they solved them
They walked right in and they solved them
I heard ramona sing
And i heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona
There were moments in the night
It was all right
There were moments in the night
I heard ramona sing
And i heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona
I don't care if they're real or they're pseudo
I don't care if they get any higher
I hope if someone retires
They pull another menudo
They pull another menudo
They pull another menudo
They pull another menudo
There are moments in the night
It was all right
There are moments in the night
I heard ramona sing
And i heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona

10. _ Hang Onto Your Ego
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
But what can you tell them
What can you say that wont make them defensive
Hang on to your ego
Hang on but i know that youre gonna lose the fight.
They come on like theyre peacefull
But inside theyre so uptight
They chip through the day and waste all their thoughts at night
But how can i say it
How can i come on when i know im guilt
Hang on to your ego
Hang on because i know that youre gonna lose the fight
And how can i say it
How can i come on when i know im guilt
Hang on to your ego
Hang on
Hang on but i know that youre gonna lose the fight

11. _ Everytime I Go Round Here
Every time i go around here
I see tumbles
Gone is the regal automobile
And ever since im down
Im down
We used to ride in it
In this frozen town
Any time we had in the time we had
We found
We found
In some frozen place
parked half off the ground
Every time i go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared
And the motor rumbled
I dont know if its good that they did make the wheel
But ever since i know
I know
Ive been rolling on
Rolling on to you
Any time we have in the time we have
Well go
We go
To that frozen place
Frozen place that we knew
Every time i go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared
And the motor rumbled

12. _ Places Named After Numbers
Beyond below above
A gravity that slumbers
At the center of
Places named after numbers
A different kind of love
She was right
She was right there
She was right there all the time
Collapsing all the way
And though it seems from here
That she was never there
Light beams disappear
Into her blackened hair
I wonder if they reappear
[repeat chorus]
