one song

[Dude]

For your sparkling cocky smile

I have walked a million miles

Begging you to come wed me in the Spring

Why do you my dear delay

What makes you laugh and turn away?

You're a hesitating beauty Nora Lee

 

Well I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee

And I know I am twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee

By the star and clouds above

We can spend our lives in love

You're a hesitating beauty Nora Lee

 

We can build a house and home

Where the flowers come to bloom

Around our yard I'll nail a fence so high

That the boys with peeping eyes

Cannot see that angel face

Of my hesitating beauty, Nora Lee.

 

We can ramble hand in hand

Across the grasses of our land

I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree

We can our kids to play

Where the dry winds blow today

If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee

[M. (hristine]

I know the next life is gonna be a good life for me,

I know the next run is gonna be a good one for me,

I made a drawing of accuracy that painted it real gorgeous,

I'd share it with you tonight but I left it on the bus,

(I left it on the schoolbus)

 

I remember Manzanita and schools made out of brick,

underneath that black scratchboard is where I found the stick,

(that's where I found the yardstick)

 

Gloria found a drawing of accuracy that painted it real gorgeous

she leaned closely and over to me and said she "found it on the bus"

she found it on the schoolbus...

[Nobody Girl]

You'd never leave on your own

Where you're from and where you're going

I know these things like I know you hate me now

 

Catch yourself in mid-air thinking

Your dreams can never be bought

I couldn't help you then and I guess I can't help you now

 

When jousting is for pleasure, pleasure is way out of hand

The time is right for getting out while we still can

 

Chickamauga's where I've been

Solitude is where I'm bound

I don't ever wanna taste these tears again

I don't ever wanna taste these tears again

 

Appalachian, so patient

The lessons we've traveled

As soon as we're out we're kicking our way back in

 

Fighting fire with unlit matches

From our respective trenches

No authority can clean up this mess we're in

 

A miracle might point the way

To solutions we're after

And avert our chronic impending disaster

 

Chickamauga's where I've been

Solitude is where I'm bound

I don't ever wanna taste these tears again

[Hello_Operator]

When he took the three disciples

to the mountainside to pray,

his countenance was modified, his clothing was aflame.

Two men appeared: Moses and Elijah came;

they were at his side.

The prophecy, the legislation spoke of whenever he would die.

 

Then there came a word

of what he should accomplish on the day.

Then Peter spoke, to make of them a tabernacle place.

A cloud appeared in glory as an accolade.

They fell on the ground.

A voice arrived, the voice of God,

the face of God, covered in a cloud.

 

What he said to them,

the voice of God: the most beloved son.

Consider what he says to you, consider what's to come.

The prophecy was put to death,

was put to death, and so will the Son.

And keep your word, disguise the vision 'till the time has come.

 

Lost in the cloud, a voice. Have no fear! We draw near!

Lost in the cloud, a sign. Son of man! Turn your ear.

Lost in the cloud, a voice. Lamb of God! We draw near!

Lost in the cloud, a sign. Son of man! Son of God!

[awatt]

"Black Jesus"

 

[2Pac]

Searching for Black Jesus

Oh yeah, sportin jewels and s**t, yaknahmean?

(Black Jesus; you can be Christian

Baptist, Jehovah Witness)

Straight tatted up, no doubt, no doubt

(Islamic, won't matter to me

I'm a thug; thugs, we praise Black Jesus, all day)

Young Kadafi in this bi**h, set it off ni**a..

What?

 

[Kadafi]

I do my shootin's on a knob, prayin to God for my squad

Stuck in a nightmare, hopin he might care

Though times is hard, up against all odds, I play my cards

like I'm jailin, shots hittin up my spot like midnight rains hailin

Got me bailin to stacks more green; Gods ain't tryin to be trapped

on no block slangin no rocks like bean pies

Brainstorm on the beginnin

Wonder how s**t like the Qu'ran and the Bible was written

What is religion?

Gods words all cursed like crack

Shai-tan's way of gettin us back

Or just another one of my Black JesuS traps

 

[storm]

Who's got the heart to stand beside me?

I feel my enemies creepin up in silence

Dark prayer, scream violence - demons all around me

Can't even bend my knees just a lost cloud; Black Jesus

give me a reason to survive, in this earthly hell

Cause I swear, they tryin to break my well

I'm on the edge lookin down at this volatile pit

Will it matter if I cease to exist? Black Jesus

 

[2Pac]

All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail

Some missin souls turn to hoes when exposed to jail

In times of war we need somebody raw, rally the troops

like a Saint that we can trust to help to carry us through

Black Jesus, hahahahaha

He's like a Saint that we can trust to help to carry us through

Black Jesus

 

[Young Noble]

Outlawz we got our own race, culture, religion

Rebellin against the system, commence to lynchin

The President ain't even listenin to the pain of the youth

We make music for eternity, forever the truth

Political prisoner, the two choices that they givin us

Ride or die, for life they sentence us

Oh Black Jesus, please watch over my brother Shawn

Soon as the sky get bright, it's just another storm

Brothers gone, now labeled a statistic

Ain't no love for us ghetto kids, they call us nigglets

History repeats itself, nuttin new

In school I knew, e'rything I read wasn't true

Black Jesus

 

[2Pac]

To this click I'm dedicated, criminal orientated

An Outlaw initiated, blazed and faded

Made for terror, major league ni**az pray together

bi**hes in they grave while my real ni**az play together

We die clutchin gla*ses, filled with liquor bomblastic

Creamated, last wishes ni**a smoke my ashes

High sigh why die wishin, hopin for possibilities

I'll mob on, why they copy me sloppily

Cops patrol projects, hatin the people livin in them

I was born an inmate, waitin to escape the prison

Went to church but don't understand it, they underhanded

God gave me these commandments, the world is scandalous

Blast til they holy high; baptize they evil minds

Wise, no longer blinded, watch me shine trick

Which one of y'all wanna feel the degrees?

bi**hes freeze facin Black Jesus

 

[2Pac]

All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail

Some missin souls turn to hoes when exposed to jail

In times of war we need somebody raw, rally the troops

like a Saint that we can trust to help to carry us through

Black Jesus

 

[Kastro]

Some say, some day, some how, some way, we gon' fail

And it ain't hard to tell, we dwell in hell

Trapped, black, scarred and barred

Searching for truth, where it's hard to find God

I play the Pied Piper, and to this Thug Life, I'm a lifer

Proceed, to turn up the speed, just for stripes

My Black Jesus, walk through this valley with me

Where we, so used to hard times and casualties

Indeed, it hurt me deep to have to sleep on the streets

And haven't eaten in weeks, so save a prayer for me

And all the young thugs, raised on drugs and guns

Blazed out and numb, slaves to this slums

This ain't livin... Jesus

 

[singers repeat in background 3X]

We believed in you

Everything you do

Just wanna let you know, how we feel

Black Jesus!

 

Searchin for Black Jesus

It's hard, it's hard

We need help out here

So we searchins for Black Jesus

It's like a Saint, that we pray to in the ghetto, to get us through

Somebody that understand our pain

You know maybe not too perfect, you know

Somebody that hurt like we hurt

Somebody that smoke like we smoke

Drink like we drink

That understand where we coming from

That's who we pray to

We need help y'all

[embiggen]

Anyone can tell you there's no more road to ride

Everyone will tell you there's no place to hide

There's no laws or rules to unchain your life

But the ones who didn't make it

The ones who couldn't take it

So glad they have made it out alive

 

Everyone loves the fun everyone comes by

In the wind I crunch I want to die

They can give me pills

Or let me drink my fill

The heart wants to explode far away

Where nobody knows

 

Do you believe she said that

Do you believe she said that

I said I hate myself and I want to die

 

Half of it is innocent

The other half is wise

The whole damn thing makes no sense

I wish I could tell you a lie

 

Hey come here

Let me whisper in your ear

I hate myself and I want to die

 

Do you believe she said that

Can you believe she repeated that

I said I hate me myself and I

I said I hate myself and I want to die

[Elixir Sue]

Her green plastic watering can

For a fake chinese rubberplant

In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

To get rid of itself

 

It wears her out

It wears her out

It wears her out

It wears her out

 

She lives with a broken man

A cracked polystyrene man

Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties

But gravity always wins

 

And it wears him out

And it wears him out

And it wears him out

 

She looks like the real thing

She tastes like the real thing

My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

if I just turned and ran

 

And it wears me out

It wears me out

It wears me out

 

If I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted all the time.

[Analogman]

There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean,

And I hate to hurt your feelings but it's not the way it seems,

'Cause I miss her.

 

She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known.

And no one ever shared more love than we've known.

And I miss her.

 

But it all seems so strange to see

That she'd ever turn her back on me

And leave without a last goodbye.

And if she winds up walking the streets,

Loving every other man she meets

Who'll be the one to answer why?

Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me.

 

And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand.

And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand

But I miss that girl. I still miss that girl.

 

Maybe someday soon, somewhere.

[mountain bed]

You got to be crazy

You gotta have a real need

You gotta sleep on your toes

And when you're on the street

You gotta be able

To pick out the easy meat

With your eyes closed

And then moving in silently

Down wind & out of sight

You gotta strike when the moment is right

Without thinking

 

And after awhile

You can work on points for style

Like the club tie

And the firm handshake

A certain look in the eye

And an easy smile

You have to be trusted

By the people that you lie to

So that when they turn their backs on you

You'll get the chance

To put the knife in

 

You gotta keep one eye

Looking over your shoulder

You know it's going to get harder

And harder and harder

As you get older

And in the end you'll pack up

Fly down South

Hide your head in the sand

Just another sad old man

All alone,and dying of cancer

 

And when you lose control

You'll reap the harvest you have sown

And as the fear grows

The bad blood slows

And turns to stone

 

And it's too late

To lose the weight

You used to need to throw around

So have a good drown

As you go down

All alone

Dragged down by the stone...

 

Gotta admit that I'm a litttle bit confused

Sometimes it seems to me

As if I'm just being used

Gotta stay awake,gotta try & shake off

This creeping malaise

If I don't stand my own ground

How can I find my way

Out of this maze?

 

Deaf,dumb & blind

You just keep on pretendin'

That everyone's expendable

And no one has a real friend

It seems to you the thing to do

Would be to isolate the winner

Everything's done under the sun

And you believe at heart

Everyone's a killer

 

Who was born in a house full of pain

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

Who was told what to do by the Man

Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with collar,and chain

Who was given a pat on the back

Who was breaking away from the pack

Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end

Who was found dead on the phone

Who was dragged down by the stone

Who was dragged down by the stone...

[embiggen]

I can't hold you down

If you want to fly

Can't you see I'm all broke up inside

Well just you use your two X Ray eyes

 

Hurt like Kryptonite

Put me on my knees

Now that I've found out just what you're doing

With your secret identities

 

That's really super Supergirl

How you saved yourself in seconds flat

And your friends are going to say

That's really super Supergirl

How you're changing all the world's weather

But you couldn't put us back together

Now I feel like I'm tethered deep

Inside your Fortress of Solitude

Don't mean to be rude

But I don't feel super

Supergirl

 

I won't call again

Even in a jam

Now I realise you could be on a mission

Saving some other man

 

That's really super Supergirl

How you saved yourself in seconds flat

And your friends are going to say

That's really super Supergirl

How you stopped the universe from dying

But you're never going to stop me crying

And I feel like you're trying hard

To sweep me like dirt underneath your cape

Well I might be an ape

But I used to feel super

Supergirl

 

That's really super Supergirl

How you saved yourself in seconds flat

And your friends are going to say

That's really super Supergirl

How you're changing the world's weather

But you couldn't put us back together

Super Supergirl

How you stopped the universe from dying

But you're never going to stop me crying

Super Supergirl

I'm here in your Fortress of Solitude

Don't mean to be rude

But I don't feel super

[Elixir Sue]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

Because you're mine,

I walk the line

 

I find it very, very easy to be true

I find myself alone when each day is through

Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you

Because you're mine,

I walk the line

 

As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night

And happiness I've known proves that it's right

Because you're mine,

I walk the line

 

You've got a way to keep me on your side

You give me cause for love that I can't hide

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

Because you're mine,

I walk the line.

[awatt]

I wanna live

with a cinnamon girl

I could be happy

the rest of my life

With a cinnamon girl.

 

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together,

chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.

 

Ten silver saxes,

a bass with a bow

The drummer relaxes

and waits between shows

For his cinnamon girl.

 

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together,

chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.

 

Pa sent me money now

I'm gonna make it somehow

I need another chance

You see your baby loves to dance

Yeah...yeah...yeah.

 

 

Heard this one today on the radio...love it!

[lizish]

I love this song:

 

 

There was a stage and a P.A. up in western Massachussetts, and the kids came from miles around to get messed up on the music. And she drove down from Bowdoin with a carload of girlfriends to meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms. And they did, and she got sick; now she

[a.miller]

one of my collaborations:

 

Another month gone in a flash of light

Dreams racing, pacing the floor

Grinding teeth, tapping feet

Slow down

Faces fill the gaps and spaces

Passing by for other places

 

I'm no going nowhere

Walking circles back to nowhere

 

Looking back on a life I once knew

Not ahead for what I must do

Days are passing by before my eyes

Stuck alone with an empty feeling

Got the shakes and no luck sleeping

Can't seem to find a ray of light

 

All the days are passing by before my eyes

The days are passing by before my eyes

 

Time is like a wheel, I am standing still

If it snowed in July, I don't think I'd mind

The grind of the day, my thoughts drift away

And slow down

Life comes in stages, I turn the pages

Passing by for other places

 

I'm not going nowhere

Trace my paces back to nowhere

 

Looking back on a life I once knew

Not ahead for what I must do

Days are passing by before my eyes

Stuck alone with an empty feeling

Got the shakes and no luck sleeping

Can't see to find a ray of light

 

All the days are passing by before my eyes

The days are passing by before my eyes

Sandy: Tell me about it stud!

 

Danny: I got chills.

They're multiplyin'.

And I'm losin' control.

'Cause the power

you're supplyin',

Sandy: You better shape up,

'cause I need a man

and my heart is set on you.

You better shape up;

you better understand

to my heart I must be true.

 

Both: Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do.

 

Both: You're the one that I want.

(you are the one i want), o,o, oo, honey.

The one that I want.

(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.

The one that I want

(you are the one i want want), o,o, ooooo

The one I need.

Oh, yes indeed.

 

Sandy: If you're filled

with affection

you're too shy to convey,

meditate in my direction.

Feel your way.

 

Danny: I better shape up,

'cause you need a man

Sandy: i need a man

who can keep me satisfied.

Danny: I better shape up

if I'm gonna prove

Sandy: you better prove

that my faith is justified.

 

Danny:Are you sure?

Both:Yes, I'm sure down deep inside.

 

You're the one that I want.

The one that I want.

The one that I want

The one I need.

Oh, yes indeed.

I've been praying all the week through

At home, at work and on the bus

I've been praying I can keep you

And to earn enough for us

 

I can take humiliation

And hurtful comments from the boss

I'm just praying by the weekend

I can earn enough for us

 

Found a house that won't repair itself

With it's windows cracking

And a roof held together with holes

Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder

We shouldn't be sadder

Than others like us

Who have goals for the betterment of life

Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest

I've been praying all the week through

At home at work and on the bus

I've been praying I can keep you

And to earn enough for us

 

So you're saying that we're going to be three

Now, a father's what I'll be

Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud

But the belt's already tight

I'll get another job at night, but honest

 

I can take humiliation

And hurtful comments from the boss

I'm just praying by the weekend

I can earn enough for us

Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder

We shouldn't be sadder

Than others like us

Who have goals for the betterment of life

Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest

 

I can take humiliation

And hurtful comments from the Boss

I'm just praying by the weekend

I can earn enough for us

I can earn enough for us

Drive yourself right up the wall

No one hears and no one calls

It's a boring state

It's a useless wait, I know

 

Brag about things you don't understand

A girl and a woman, a boy and a man

Everything is sexually vague [an awkward phase?]

Now you're wondering to yourself

If you might be gay

 

Your age is the hardest age

Everything drags and drags

One day, baby, maybe help you through

Sixteen blue

Sixteen blue

 

Drive your ma to the bank

Tell your pa you got a date

You're lying, now you're lying on your back

 

Try to figure out, they wonder what next you'll pull

You don't understand anything sexual

I don't understand

Tell my friends I'm doing fine

 

Your age is the hardest age

Everything drags and drags

You're looking funny

You ain't laughing, are you?

Sixteen blue

Sixteen blue

[embiggen]

Summer days, summer nights are gone

Summer days and the summer nights are gone

I know a place where there's still somethin' going on

 

I got a house on a hill, I got hogs all out on in the mud

I got a house on a hill, I got hogs out lying in the mud

Got a long haired woman, she got royal Indian blood

 

Everybody get ready - lift up your glasses and sing

Everybody get ready to lift up your glasses and sing

Well, I'm standin' on the table, I'm proposing a toast to the King

 

Well I'm drivin' in the flats in a Cadillac car

The girls all say, "You're a worn out star"

My pockets are loaded and I'm spending every dime

How can you say you love someone else when you know it's me all the time?

 

Well, the fog's so thick you can't spy the land

The fog is so thick that you can't even spy the land

What good are you anyway, if you can't stand up to some old businessman?

 

Wedding bells ringin', the choir is beginning to sing

Yes, the wedding bells are ringing and the choir is beginning to sing

What looks good in the day, at night is another thing

 

She's looking into my eyes, she's holding my hand

She's looking into my eyes, she's holding my hand

She says, "You can't repeat the past." I say, "You can't? What do you mean, you can't? Of course you can."

 

Where do you come from? Where do you go?

Sorry that's nothin' you would need to know

Well, my back has been to the wall for so long, it seems like it's stuck

Why don't you break my heart one more time just for good luck

 

I got eight carburetors, boys I'm using 'em all

Well, I got eight carburetors and boys, I'm using 'em all

I'm short on gas, my motor's starting to stall

 

My dogs are barking, there must be someone around

My dogs are barking, there must be someone around

I got my hammer ringin', pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down

 

You got something to say, speak or hold your peace

Well, you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace

If it's information you want you can go get it from the police

 

Politician got on his jogging shoes

He must be running for office, got no time to lose

He been suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity

You been rolling your eyes - you been teasing me

 

Standing by God's river, my soul is beginnin' to shake

Standing by God's river, my soul is beginnin' to shake

I'm countin' on you love, to give me a break

 

Well, I'm leaving in the morning as soon as the dark clouds lift

Yes, I'm leaving in the morning just as soon as the dark clouds lift

Gonna break the roof in - set fire to the place as a parting gift

 

Summer days, summer nights are gone

Summer days, summer nights are gone

I know a place where there's still somethin' going on

[Analogman]

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.

But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time.

For today's the day that you are coming back.

And I can't wait to see you materialize.

 

How much can I take now before I break inside?

How long will it take now before I realize,

That I can't live without you by my side,

And nothing else will keep me satisfied?

 

I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes.

I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice.

But time can put the man on the other side.

And I can't wait to see what's left behind.

 

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.

I haven't been late yet.

Gonna be on time, gonna be on time,

gonna be on, gonna be on time.

But today's the day that you are coming back,

And I can't wait to see you materialize.

[viatroy]

So come on off of your rooftop

Come on down to the street

Ive got something to tell you

Youre secret I will keep

Tell me why have you been crying

Why wont you look me in the eye

Im just trying to help you

I just need to know why

Please wont you let me try

 

Be my secret, be my joy

Be a miracle to me

Be my lover, be my friend

Be a miracle to me

 

I want to sleep in your moonglow

In my mind your smile I keep

Head over heels I go

Like a dream from a peaceful sleep

This time I know Im in deep

 

Be my secret, be my joy

Be a miracle to me

Be my lover, be my friend

Be a miracle to me

 

[Fritz]

We were headed home for Austin caught pneumonia on the road

Taking it home to Connie and the kids

A wheel ran off and jumped a railroad then ran through a grocery store

If you want to buy a bus I'm taking bids

And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag

He said traveling on the road is such a drag

If we can make it home by Friday we can brag

And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag.

 

Well I just got back from New York City Kris and Rita done it all

Raw perfection there for all the world to see

Lord I heard an angel singing in the Philharmonic Hall

Rita Coolidge Rita Coolidge cleft for me

And the devil shivered...

And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag.

[Dude]

Hey little apple blossom

what seems to be the problem

all the ones you tell your troubles to

they Don't really care for you

Come and tell me what you're thinking

cause just when the boat is sinking

a little light is blinking

and i will come and rescue you

Lots of girls walk around in tears

but thats not for you

you've been looking all around for years

for someone to tell your troubles to

Come and sit with me and talk awhile

let me see your pretty little smile

put your troubles in a little pile

and i will sort them out for you

I'll fall in love with you

I think I'll marry you

[M. (hristine]

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you

That I almost believe that they're real

I've been living so long with my pictures of you

That I almost believe that the pictures are

All I can feel

 

Remembering

You standing quiet in the rain

As I ran to your heart to be near

And we kissed as the sky fell in

Holding you close

How I always held close in your fear

Remembering

You running soft through the night

You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow

And screamed at the make-believe

Screamed at the sky

And you finally found all your courage

To let it all go

 

Remembering

You fallen into my arms

Crying for the death of your heart

You were stone white

So delicate

Lost in the cold

You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering

You how you used to be

Slow drowned

You were angels

So much more than everything

Hold for the last time then slip away quietly

Open my eyes

But I never see anything

 

If only I'd thought of the right words

I could have held on to your heart

If only I'd thought of the right words

I wouldn't be breaking apart

All my pictures of you

 

Looking so long at these pictures of you

But I never hold on to your heart

Looking so long for the words to be true

But always just breaking apart

My pictures of you

 

There was nothing in the world

That I ever wanted more

Than to feel you deep in my heart

There was nothing in the world

That I ever wanted more

Than to never feel the breaking apart

All my pictures of you

 

I love you my sister.

Ok, not the greatest song, but my kids love it and sang it in the car and made it funnier than hell...

 

 

 

 

 

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi

Poppa was a copper and'a momma was a hippie

In Alabama she was swinging hammer

Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama

She never knew that there was anything more than poor

What in the world does your company take me for?

 

 

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana

Robbin'on a bank in the state of Indiana

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner

On her merry way saying baby what you gonna

Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45

Just another way to survive

 

Chorus:

 

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Yeah, yeah

 

 

She's a lover, baby and a fighter

Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California

Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded she was stealing another breath

I love my baby to death

 

Chorus:

 

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Yeah, yeah

 

Who knew the other side of you

Who knew what others died to prove

Too true to say goodbye to you

Too true, too sad sad sad

 

Push the fader, gifted animator

One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it, Up to Minnessota

North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota

Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last

it only hurts when I laugh

Gone too fast

 

Chorus:

 

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Yeah, yeah

 

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Yeah, yeah

[Fritz]

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks

Preoccupied with his vengeance

Cursing the dead that can't answer him back

I'm sure that he has no intentions

Of looking your way, unless it's to say

That he needs you to test his inventions.

 

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to.

 

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels

Trying to peel the moon and expose it

With his businesslike anger and his bloodhounds that kneel

If he needs a third eye he just grows it

He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk

Or pick it up after he throws it.

 

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to.

 

Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed

Are you frightened of the box you keep him in

While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange

Their religion of the little ten women

That backs up their views but your face is so bruised

Come on out the dark is beginning.

 

Can you please crawl out your window?

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you

How can you say he will haunt you?

You can go back to him any time you want to.
