SCHOOL

Won't you believe it
It's just my luck

No recess

You're in high school again


DRAIN YOU

One baby to another said,
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to comletely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth 
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours 
Because I like you

With eyes so dilated,
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful
Vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours because I like you
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins because I'm like you


ANEURYSM

Come on	over and do the twist
Uh huh
Overdo it and have a fit
Uh huh
Love you so much it makes me sick
Uh huh
Come on over and do the twist
Uh huh

Beat me outta me
Beat it, beat it

Come on	over and do the twist
Uh huh
Overdo it and have a fit
Uh huh
Love you so much it makes me sick
Uh huh
Come on over and shoot the shit
Uh huh

She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart
She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart


SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

Load up on guns and bring your friends  
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now.  entertain us
I feel stupid and contageous
Here we are now.  entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay.

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

a denial 


BEEN A SON

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have
Been a son

She should have stood out in a crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance


LITHIUM

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly 
That's okay,
Cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning 
Is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles 
In a daze ause I've found God

Yaaa, Yaa

I'm so happy 
But that's okay
I shaved my head  
And I'm not sad
And just maybe 
I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited 
I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny 
But that's okay my will is good

Yaaa, Yaa

I like it,
I'm not gonna crack.
I miss you,
I'm not gonna crack.
I love you,
I'm not gonna crack.
I killed you,
I'm not gonna crack.


SLIVER
Drums by Dan Peters

Mom and Dad went to a show
They drop me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kick and scream say please don't go

Grandma take me home  

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

Said "Well don't you start your cryin'"
Go outside and ride your bike
It's what I did, I killed my toe

After dinner I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched T.V.
I woke up in my mothers arms

Grandma take me home   
Wanna be alone


SPANK THRU

This is a soft relentless melody
There's a little light in the trees
And the flowers seem to remind me
And the birds fly happily

We're together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby

I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
With or without you girl
You only break my heart

I can feel it
I can hold it
I can mend it
I can shape it
I can mold it
I can cut it
I can taste it
I can spank it
Beat it and masturbate it

I've looking for day glow	(?)
Always hearing the same old
______, bordem, and ______	(?)
I can make you tell things you won't think you'd ever could

I can feel it
I can hold it
I can mend it	
I can shape it
I can mold it
I can cut it
I can taste it
I can spank it
Beat it, immaculate it

I've looking for day glow	(?)
Always hearin' the same old
______, bordem, and ______	(?)
I can make you tell things you won't think you'd ever could


SCENTLESS APPRENTICE

Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away

Every wet nurse refused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

Go away - get away

I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

Go away - get away

HEART-SHAPED BOX

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back


MILK IT

I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak, test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma
Ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery


NEGATIVE CREEP

This is out of our range
And it's grown

This is getting to be
Drone

I'm a negative creep
And I'm stoned
 
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more

Ya
Drone
Stoned


POLLY

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

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help 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 says

Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct


BREED

I don't care
I don't care 
I don't care 
I don't care 
I don't care
Care, if I'm stoned

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
If I don't have a mind

Get away 
Get away 
Get away 
Get away 
Get away from your home

I'm afraid 
I'm afraid 
I'm afraid 
I'm afraid 
Afraid of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three


BLEW

If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
And If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose
And If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
And If you wouldn't mind I would like to breath
 
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress or strain
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything
