ABOUT A GIRL

I need an easy friend  
I do... with an ear to lend     
I do... think you fit this shoe  
I do... won't you have a clue  

I'll take advantage while  
You hang me out to dry  
But I can't see you every night  
Free  

I'm standing in your line  
I do... hope you have the time  
I do... pick a number too  
I do... keep a date with you  


COME AS YOU ARE

Come as you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
So don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memoria

Memoria 

Come dowsed in mud
Soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend
As a friend
As an old memoria

When swear that I 
Don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun


JESUS DOESN'T WANT ME FOR A SUNBEAM

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me.

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me.


THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

We past upon the stair
Spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no
Not me
I never lost control
Your face, to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
He made my way back home
I searched for form the land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here

Who knows
Not me
We never lost control
Your face, to face
With the man who sold the world


PENNROYAL TEA

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty..........


DUMB

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke
But I have some glue
help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover... have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb


POLLY

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out that blow torch

Isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help 
To please myself
I got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help 
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Polly said

Polly said her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me the will 
Of instinct


ON A PLAIN

I'll start this off 
Without any words 
I got so high 
That I scratched till I bled  

I love myself 
Better than you     
I know it's wrong 
So what should I do?  

The finest day
That I've ever had
Was when I looked
Cry for your old man


SOMETHING IN THE WAY

Underneath the bridge
Don't fish sprung a leak
And the
Animals are trapped
They've all become my pets
And I'm
Living off off grass
And I
.............from the sea
And 
It's okay to eat fish
Cause they
Don't have any feelings

Something in the way
hmmm


PLATEAU

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foot hills and shake the many hands

The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun

Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could


OH ME

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice
sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me


LAKE OF FIRE

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon

Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to claim them for their own


ALL APPOLIGIES

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun 
I feel it's warm
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all is we all are


WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
