volume 4, number 79

[awatt]

If you beat up, you butcher, and you bleed a man

You bang up and badger and blood-let a man

And then I come along

On the feet of man

And halfway laugh and cry

About the meat of man

 

And I do what I can

To bale string and tie

Some ballad truths

Up and cured out

For the feed of man

 

Folks try to tell me

That it's on God's orders

That you bleed your man

It's on God's good word that you

Bleed your man

On God's plan print

That you dead a man

Or spit and curse and whip your man

 

I say I'll help you squeeze and fix yourself up a

A new kind of God of some kind

 

One that tells you

Fertilize and multiply

One that tells you

Outsow and outblow

Outplant and outgrow

Outdo, and outrun, and outclimb, and outspread

Every other tree and bush

And brushy fruits and flower petals

Outfruit them all

For the feed of man

 

Outstalk and outhunt and outthink

For God's own sweet sake, outthink! Outthink!

Outthink the fruits

Outgrow these animal kinds and shapes of man

It you miss and go down

Your dust will turn up on that long hot job

Once more again

 

To help in the feeding and the seed of man

And not in the bleeding and the end of man

[wonderturtle]

best love song ever...no fluffy b.s....but what true companionship is about...and my wedding song:

 

I want somebody to share

Share the rest of my life

Share my innermost thoughts

Know my intimate details

Someone who'll stand by my side

And give me support

And in return

She'll get my support

She will listen to me

When i want to speak

About the world we live in

And life in general

Though my views may be wrong

They may even be perverted

She'll hear me out

And won't easily be converted

To my way of thinking

In fact she'll often disagree

But at the end of it all

She will understand me

 

I want somebody who cares

For me passionately

With every thought and

With every breath

Someone who'll help me see things

In a different light

All the things i detest

I will almost like

I don't want to be tied

To anyone's strings

I'm carefully trying to steer clear of

Those things

But when i'm asleep

I want somebody

Who will put their arms around me

And kiss me tenderly

Though things like this

Make me sick

In a case like this

I'll get away with it

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

We said we'd walk together baby come what may

That come the twilight should we lose our way

If as we're walkin a hand should slip free

I'll wait for youAnd should

I fall behind

Wait for me

 

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side

We'd help each other stay in stride

But each lover's steps fall so differently

But I'll wait for you

And if I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true

But you and I know what this world can do

So let's make our steps clear that the other may see

And I'll wait for you

If I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed

Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees

I'll wait for you

And should I fall behindWait for me

Darlin' I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

Buckner - Song of 27

 

Though I may be miles away from her

With years that pass without a word

I

[Dude]

Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talkin' to some rich folk that you know

Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company

Well, you know I could never be alone

 

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

 

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon

And another girl can take my pain away

 

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

[Spawn's dad]

Steak knife - there's a hole in my head

Steak knife - you're gonna be dead

Steak knife - it's a heavy change

Steak knife - say goodbye to your brain

 

There's a hole, there's a hole in my heart

Dick hurts, chop it apart

Fuckin' sheep, I'm on the rag

They got my balls in a plastic bag

 

I think I need a doctor - to look inside my head

Every time I love a girl - I stab her in my bed

I see my life - in visions crimson shape

I see my life in hell - there's no escape

 

There's a hole, there's a hole in my heart

Head hurts, chop it apart

 

Steak knife - there's a hole in my head

Steak knife - you're gonna be dead

Steak knife - it's a heavy change

Steak knife - say goodbye to your brain

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Strap them kids in

Give em a lil bit of vodka

in a cherry coke

we're goin to oklahoma

to the family reunion

for the first time in years

its up at uncle slaton's

'cuz hes gettin on in years

he's not much on talk

and he's too mean to die

and they'll be comin' down

from kansas and west arkansas

like you've never saw

 

uncle slaton's got his texan pride

back in the thickets with his asian bride

hes got an airstream trailer and a

holstein cow

plays that chocktaw bingo every friday night

you know he had to leave texas but he won't say why

he owns a quarter section up by lake eufalla

caught a great big ol' bluecat on a driftin' jugline

sells his hardwood timber to the chippin mill

cooks that crystal meth cuz his shine don't sell

he cooks that crystal meth 'cuz his shine don't sell

you know he likes that money, he don't mind the smell

 

my cousin roscoe, slaton's oldest boy

from his second marraige up in illinois

he's raised in east st louis by his

mamma's people where they do things different

thought he'd come on down

hes goin' to dallas texas in a semi truck

caught from that big mcdonald's

you know that one thats built up on that

big old bridge across the will rogers turnpike

took the big cabin exit stopped and bought a carton of cigarrets

at that indian smoke shop with the big neon smoke rings

and the cherokee nations hittin' the stogee late that night

somebody ran the stoplight at the shawnee bypass

roscoe tried to miss him but he didn't quite

 

bob and mae come up from

some little town way down by

lake taxoma where he coaches football

they were two-A champions for two years running

but he says they wont be this year

not they wont be this year

and he stopped off in tusla at the pop knife and gun place

bought a sks rifle and a couple full cases of that steel core ammo

with the beardam primers from some east bloc nation

that no longer needs em

and a desert eagle thats one great big old pistol

i mean fifty caliber made by bad-ass ebers

and some surplus tracers for that old BAR

of slatons as soon as it gets dark

we're gonna have us a time

wer'e gonna have us a time

 

ruth-anne and lynn come from baxter springs

thats one hell-raisin town way down in

southeastern kansas

thats got rollin stones lips up there in

bright pink neon

and they're right downtown where everyone can see em

and they burn all night

you know they burn all night

they burn all night

 

Uncle slaton's got his texan pride

back in the thickets with his asian bride

hes got a corner pasture and an acre lots

he sells them owner financed strictly to them

thats got no kind of credit

cause he knows they're slackers

and they'll miss that payment

and he'll take it back

plays that choctaw bingo

every friday night

he drinks his johnny walker

at that club 69

were gonna strap those kinds in

give em a lil bit of benadryl

were gonna have us a time

were gonna have us a time

Lets drink to the hard working people

Lets drink to the lowly of birth

Raise your glass to the good and the evil

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

 

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier

Spare a thought for his back breaking work

Say a prayer for his wife and his children

Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

 

And when i search a faceless crowd

a swirling mass of gray and

black and white

they don't look real to me

in fact, they look so strange

 

Raise your glass to the hard working people

Lets drink to the uncounted heads

Lets think of the wavering millions

Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

 

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter

His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows

And a parade of the gray suited grafters

A choice of cancer or polio

 

And when i search a faceless crowd

A swirling mass of gray and

Black and white

They don't look real to me

In fact, they look so strange

 

Lets drink to the hard working people

Lets think of the lowly of birth

Spare a thought for the rag taggy people

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

 

Lets drink to the hard working people

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

Lets think of the two thousand million

Lets think of the humble of birth

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Waiting on a sunday afternoon

For what I read between the lines,

Your lies.

Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame

So do you laugh or does it cry?

Reply?

 

Leavin' on a southern train

Only yesterday you lied,

Promises of what I seemed to be

Only watched the time go by,

All of these things you said to me.

 

Breathing is the hardest thing

To do. with all I've said and

All that's dead for you,

You lied - good bye

 

Leavin' on a southern train

Only yesterday you lied

Promises of what I seemed to be

Only watched the time go by,

All of these things I said to you.

[wonderturtle]

strangely enought I dont think anyone has actually posted this one:

 

 

 

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

 

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

[awatt]

I think Green Day has a new version of this and I like it, though they splice in Lennon at the end which is weird but works for me.

 

 

 

As soon as your born they make you feel small

by giving you no time instead of it all

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be

 

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be

 

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years

then they expect you to pick a career

When you can't really function you're so full of fear

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be

 

Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.

and you think you're so clever and classless and free

but you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be

 

There's room at the top I'm telling you still

but first you must learn how to smile as you kill

if you want to be like the folks on the hill

Working Class Hero is something to be

 

Yes , A Working Class Hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

[MrRain422]

Well every highway that I go down seems to be longer than the last one that I knew about, oh well

And every girl that I walk around seems to be more of an illusion than the last one I found, oh well

And this old man in front of me

Wearing canes and ruby rings

It's like a tame explosion when he sings

With every change to set himself on fire, he just ends up doing the same thing

 

Well each beautiful thing I come across tells me to stop moving and shake this riddle off, oh well

And there was a time when all I wanted was my ice cream colder and a little cream soda, oh well, oh well

And a wooden box and an alley full of rocks was all I had to care about, oh well, oh well, oh well

 

Now my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires and whether I'm a liar and lots of other situations where I don't know what to do

At which time God screams to me

There's nothing left for me to tell you

 

Nothing left for me to tell you

Nothing left

Oh well

Oh well

Oh well

[Elixir Sue]

well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun

with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons

and when you look up at the sky

all you see are zeros

all you see are zeros and ones

 

you took my hand and led me down to watch a kewpie doll parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

it's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid

and I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

the masterfade

I coulda played along

the masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

but it just takes too long

and I just can't remember

which way the east wind blows does it matter?

if we're all matter

what's it matter does it matter

if we're all matter when we're done?

when the sky is full of zeros and ones

 

I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain

with GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees

your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

 

if the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7

the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

and if the 1s just hold their place the 0s make a smiley face

when they come floating down from the heavens

 

you took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

you squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid

'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

the masterfade

I coulda played along

the masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

but it just takes too long

and who the hell can remember

which way the east wind blows

when you're lying on the ground

staring up at an inverted compass

I mean Christ who Knows?

[candyfloss1214]

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together

I've got some real estate here in my bag"

So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies

And walked off to look for America

 

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh

"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw

I've come to look for America

 

Laughing on the bus

Playing games with the faces

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"

 

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"

"We smoked the last one an hour ago"

So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine

And the moon rose over an open field

 

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping

"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

They've all come to look for America

All come to look for America

All come to look for America

A) waltzing matilda

 

Waltzing matilda whipped out her wallet

The sexy boy smiled in dismay

She took out four twenties cause she liked round figures

Everybodys a queen for a day

Oh, babe, Im on fire and you know how I admire your -

- body why dont we slip away

Although Im sure youre certain, its a rarity me flirtin

Sha-la-la-la, this way

 

Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

Hey, baby, come on, lets slip away

 

Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle

Call out the national guard

She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means

From off of the formica topped bar

And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly

And boldly out of this world

And despite peoples derision

Proved to be more than diversion

Sha-la-la-la, later on

 

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly

And showed her where he was coming from

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently

It was like shed never ever come

And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

When the sun rose and he made to leave

You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

Neither one regretted a thing

 

street hassle

 

Hey, that cunts not breathing

I think shes had too much

Of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean

I dont mean to scare you

But youre the one who came here

And youre the one whos gotta take her when you leave

Im not being smart

Or trying to be cold on my part

And Im not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve

But you know people get all emotional

And sometimes, man, they just dont act rational

They think theyre just on tv

 

Sha-la-la-la, man

Why dont you just slip her away

 

You know, Im glad that we met man

It really was nice talking

And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak

But you know it could be a hassle

Trying to explain myself to a police officer

About how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed

And its not like we could help

But there was nothing no one could do

And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first

But when someone turns that blue

Well, its a universal truth

And then you just know that bitch will never fuck again

By the way, thats really some bad shit

That you came to our place with

But you ought to be more careful around the little girls

Its either the best or its the worst

And since I dont have to choose

I guess I wont and I know this aint no way to treat a guest

But why dont you grab your old lady by the feet

And just lay her out on the darkened street

And by morning, shes just another hit and run

You know, some people got no choice

And they cant never find a voice

To talk with that they can even call their own

So the first thing that they see

That allows them the right to be

Why they follow it, you know, its called bad luck

 

C) slipaway

 

Believe me, that its just a lie

Thats what she tells her friends

cause the real song, the real song

Which she wont even admit to herself

Beat narrow heart, the song lots of people know

Its a painful song

Itll only say the truth

It lasts for sad songs

Penny for a wish

A wish wont make you a soldier

A pretty kiss or a pretty face

Cant have its way

The tramps like us who were born to play

 

Love is gone away

And theres no one here now

And theres nothing left to say

But, oh, how I miss him, baby

Oh, baby, come on and slip away

Come on, baby, why dont you slip away

 

Love is gone away

Took the rings off my fingers

And theres nothing left to say

But, oh how, oh how I need him, baby

Come on, baby, I need you baby

Oh, please dont slip away

I need your loving so bad, babe

Please dont slip away

[mountain bed]

You poisoned my sweet water

You cut down my green trees

The food you fed my children

Was the cause of their disease

My world is slowly fallin' down

And the air's not good to breathe

And those of us who care enough

We have to do something

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

 

Your newspapers

They just put you on

They never tell you

The whole story

They just put your young ideas down

I was wonderin'...

Could this be the end

Of your pride and glory?

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

 

I work in your factories

I study in your schools

I fill your penitentiaries

And your military too

And I feel the future trembling

As the word gets passed around

"If you stand up for what you do believe

Be prepared to be shot down"

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

OH.....what you gonaa do about me?

 

And I feel like a stranger

In the land where I was born

And I live like an outlaw

And I'm always on the run

And I'm always geting busted

And I've got to take a stand

I believe the Revolution

Must be mighty close at hand

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

 

I smoke marijuana

But I can't get behind your wars

And most of what I do believe

Is against most of your laws

I'm a fugititve from injustice

But I'm going to be free

'Cause your rules and regulations

They don't do a thing for me

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

 

And I feel like a stranger

In the land where I was born

And I live just like an outlaw

And I'm always on the run

 

OH.....what you gonna do about me?

[awatt]

Mirror, mirror

Up on the wall in the back of the room

As I walk down the hall in the house where I stayed

Tell me something about what I saw in the face of a man

Who once felt it all but feels nothing today

 

Knock knock

Who's there

I don't know, I can't say

Ask me tomorrow

I'll tell you the same

 

Ooh, I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now

Ooh, I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now

 

Trouble trouble

Down in my hood where it's well understood

They love when you're bad

And they hate when you're good

Tell me something about who we are at the end of our days

When our souls become one but our lives separate

 

Knock knock

Who's there

I don't know I can't say

Ask me tomorrow

I'll tell you the same

 

Ooh, I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now (It's bound to make you smile)

Ooh, I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now (It's bound to make you smile)

 

It's bound to make you smile

Two for the Fourth:

 

Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes, and often felt forsaken

And certainly misused

Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm just weary to my bones

Still, you don't expect to be

Bright and bon vivant

So far a-way from home, so far away from home

 

I don't know a soul who's not been battered

I don't have a friend who feels at ease

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

or driven to its knees

Oh, but it's alright, it's alright

for we lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the

road we're traveling on

I wonder what's gone wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

 

And I dreamed I was dying

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying

 

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the a-ge's most uncertain hours

and sing an American tune

Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all I'm trying to get some rest

 

 

and

 

 

 

Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight

Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July

Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp

As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark

And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore

Chasin' all them silly New York girls

 

Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us

The pier lights our carnival life forever

Love me tonight for I may never see you again

Hey Sandy girl

 

Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night

Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white

And me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades bangin' them pleasure machines

Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise to unsnap their jeans

And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag

I got on it last night and my shirt got caught

And that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off

 

Oh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us

The pier lights our carnival life on the water

Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter

Well he ain't my boss no more Sandy

 

Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us

I spoke to 'em just last night and they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore

Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go

And you can see 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo

Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do

This boardwalk life for me is through

You know you ought to quit this scene too

 

Sandy the aurora's rising behind us

The pier lights our carnival life forever

Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever

1. I forbid you maidens all

that wear gold in your hair

To travel to Carterhaugh

for young Tam Lin is there

 

2. None that go by Carterhaugh

but they leave him a pledge

Either their mantles of green

or else their maidenheads.

 

3. Janet tied her kirtle green

a bit above her knee

And she's gone to Carterhaugh

as fast as go can she.

 

4. She'd not pulled a double rose,

a rose but only two

When up then came young Tam Lin

says "Lady pull no more"

 

5. "And why come you to Carterhaugh

without command from me?"

"I'll come and go" young Janet said

"And ask no leave of thee".

 

6. Janet tied her kirtle green

a bit above her knee

And she's gone to her father

as fast as go can she.

 

7. Well up then spoke her father clear

and he spoke meek and mild

"Oh and alas Janet" he said

"I think you go with child."

 

8. "Well if that be so" Janet said

"Myself shall bear the blame

There's not a knight in all your hall

shall get the baby's name.

 

9. For if my love were an earthly knight

as he is an elfin grey

I'd not change my own true love

for any knight you have."

 

10. So Janet tied her kirtle green

a bit above her knee

And she's gone to Carterhaugh

as fast as go can she.

 

11. "Oh tell to me Tam Lin" she said

"Why came you here to dwell?"

"The Queen of Fairies caught me

when from my horse I fell

 

12. And at the end of seven years

she pays a tithe to hell

I so fair and full of flesh

and fear'ed be myself

 

13. But tonight is Halloween

and the fairy folk ride,

Those that would their true love win

at mile's cross they must hide.

 

14. First let pass the horses black

and then let pass the brown

Quickly run to the white steed

and pull the rider down,

 

15. For I'll ride on the white steed,

the nearest to the town

For I was an earthly knight,

they give me that renown.

 

16. Oh they will turn me in your arms

to a newt or a snake

But hold me tight and fear not,

I am your baby's father.

 

17. And they will turn me in your arms

into a lion bold

But hold me tight and fear not

and you will love your child,

 

18. And they will turn me in your arms

into a naked knight

But cloak me in your mantle

and keep me out of sight".

 

19. In the middle of the night

she heard the bridle ring

She heeded what he did say

and young Tam Lin did win.

 

20. Then up spoke the Fairy Queen,

an angry Queen was she

"Woe betide her ill-farred face,

an ill death may she die

 

21. Had I known Tam Lin" she said

"This night I did see

I'd have looked him in the eyes

and turned him to a tree."

I've no idea if someone has posted that already so here I go:

 

Well, the cop made the showdown

He was sure he was right

He had all of the lowdown

From the bank heist last night

His best friend was the robber

And his wife was a thief

All the children were killers

They couldn't get no relief

The bungalow was surrounded

When a voice loud and clear

Said, Come on out

with your hands up

Or we'll blow you out of here.

There was a face in the window

The TV cameras rolled

Then they cut to the announcer

And the story was told.

 

The artist looked at the producer

The producer sat back

He said, What we have got here

Is a perfect track

But we don't have a vocal

And we don't have a song

If we could get

these things accomplished

Nothin' else could go wrong.

So he balanced the ashtray

As he picked up the phone

And said, Send me a songwriter

Who's drifted far from home

And make sure that he's hungry

Make sure he's alone

Send me a cheeseburger

And a new Rolling Stone.

Yeah.

 

There's still crime in the city,

Said the cop on the beat,

I don't know if I can stop it

I feel like meat on the street

They paint my car like a target

I take my orders from fools

Meanwhile some kid

blows my head off

Well, I play by their rules

That's why I'm doin' it my way

I took the law in my hands

 

So here I am in the alleyway

A wad of cash in my pants

I get paid by a ten year old

He says he looks up to me

There's still crime in the city

But it's good to be free.

Yeah.

 

Now I come from a family

That has a broken home

Sometimes I talk to Daddy

On the telephone

When he says that he loves me

I know that he does

But I wish I could see him

I wish I knew where he was

But that's the way

all my friends are

Except maybe one or two

Wish I could

see him this weekend

Wish I could walk in his shoes

But now I'm doin' my own thing

Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad

Although my home has been broken

It's the best home I ever had

Yeah.

 

Well, I keep gettin' younger

My life's been funny that way

Before I ever learned to talk

I forgot what to say

I sassed back to my mom

I sassed back to my teacher

I got thrown out of Bible school

For sassin' back at the preacher

Then I grew up to be a fireman

Put out every fire in town

Put out anything smokin'

But when I put the hose down

The judge sent me to prison

He gave me life without parole

Wish I never put the hose down

Wish I never got old.

[froggie]

I could break free from the

wood of a coffin

if I need

But nothin's hard as

Gettin' free from places

I've already been

 

I've been waste-deep

in the burnin' meadows

of my mind

In the engine

In cold December

shootin' fire from the hose

 

Now turn off your lights

'cause I'm not comin' home

'til I'm delivered for the first time

 

I was first-born to a parade

that follows in rows

down a narrow cold black river

faceless shadows

movin' slow

 

I would move swift when

the sounds of a trumpet would blow

I've been the puppet

I've been the strings

I know the vacant face it brings

 

Now the bells of curfew

They may ring before I'm through

But soon

I'll be delivered for the first time

 

You might keep clean

in the back of an angel motorcade

It doesn't matter who walks in

you know, the joke is still the same

You'll just wake up

like a disposable lover

decomposed

I've been gone

I've been remembered

I've been alive

I've been a ghost

 

So now, if downtown explodes

I'll still be on this road

'til I'm delivered for the first time

 

I have drawn blood

from the neckline

when vampires were in fashion

You know I'd even learn

to cut my throat

If I thought I could fit in

 

'Cause I, I once heard

that you gotta learn

how to blend in to this mess

Where nothin's hard

nothin's precious

and nothin's smooth or flawless

 

Now, no more amused

just screaming to be delivered

for the first time

 

Now I'm 10 miles in the deep

and mighty blue sea

Looking back, towards a long white beach

burnin' up into yellow flames

 

And I just wave back

like a little boy up on a pony

in a show

'cause I can't fix

something this complex

any more than I can build a rose

 

So just keep on letting go

'cause I must be close

to being delivered for the first time

 

Now I'd rather bleed out

a long stream from being lonely

and feel blessed

Well than drown, laying face down

in a puddle of respect

I was once lost

in the corridors of the arena

in blindfolds

I've been the bull

I've been the whip

I just pulled down the matador

 

So now, turn on your lights

'cause I'm comin' home

I've been delivered for the first time

[Mr. Heartbreak]

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Clubs and bells, your servant, don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

 

Downy sins of streetlight fancies

Chase the costumes she shall wear

Ermine furs adorn the imperious

Severin, severin awaits you there

 

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

 

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather

Shiny leather in the dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

 

Severin, severin, speak so slightly

Severin, down on your bended knee

Taste the whip, in love not given lightly

Taste the whip, now plead for me

 

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

 

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
