Dirty Boots
(Thurston)

Here we go to another candle I know
All the girls there are playing on a jelly roll
Time to take a ride
Time to take it in a midnight eye
And if you wanna go
Get on below
Pinking out the day
Dreaming out the crazy way
Finger on the love
It’s all above

Everywhere it’s six-sex-six by luck
A satellite wish will make it just enough
You be making out with a witch in a coffee truck
Time to rock the road
And tell the story of the jelly rollin
Dirty boots are on
Hi de ho
Pinking out the black
Dreamin’ in a crack
Satan got her tongue
Now it’s undone

I got some dirty boots
Yeah, Dirty boots
I got some dirty boots
Baby
Dirty boots
Hey!

Tunic (Song For Karen)
(Kim)

Dreaming
Dreaming of a girl like me
Hey, What are you waiting for?
Feeding
Feeding me

I feel like I’m disappearing
Getting smaller every day
But I look in the mirror
And I’m bigger in every way

She said ”You aren’t never going anywhere”
“You aren’t never going anywhere”
“I ain’t never goin’ anywhere”
“I ain’t never goin’ anywhere”

I’m in heaven now
I can see you, Richard

Good-bye Hollywood, good-bye Danny
Hello Janis, hello Denis, Elvis
And all my brand new friends
I’m so glad you’re all here with me
Until the very end

Dreaming
Dreaming of how it was supposed to be
But now this tunic’s spinning
Around my arms and knees

I feel like I’m disappearing
Getting smaller every day
But when I open my mouth to sing
I’m bigger in every way

She said ”You are never going anywhere”
“You are never going anywhere”
“I ain’t never goin’ anywhere”
“I ain’t never goin’ anywhere”

Hey, Mom, look
I’m up here
I finally made it
I play in a drums band too
Don’t be sad
The band doesn’t sound half bad
And I remember mom
What you said
You said “Honey, you look so underfed.”

Another green salad
Another ice tea
There’s a tunic in the closet
Waiting just for me

I feel like I’m disappearing
Getting smaller every day
But I look in your eyes
And I’m bigger in every way

She said ”You aren’t never going anywhere”
“You aren’t never going anywhere”
“I ain’t never going anywhere”
“I ain’t never going anywhere”

Good-bye Richard
Got to go now
I’m finally on my own
The band’s got a gig
Keep the lovelines a flowing
Little girl’s got the blues
I can still hear mama say
“Honey, don’t let it go to your head.”

Mary-Christ
(Thurston & Kim)

Talking to a punker priest
Just doggin’ the breeze
‘Bout being a tree
(This is a free land)

Along comes Mary-Christ
Skatin’ light on ice
Says there’s no-one high
(Another preschool)

You gotta go
You got a date now
Yeah, I know
Should not be late now

Sensed by x-ray eyes
Her spirit spies
Into my life
(I found it out now)

Wraps my head in skin
Says now I’m in
To the candy sin
(Yeah, spit it out now)

Everytime
She sings that love song
Everytime
I guess she’s right/wrong

Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(I hope you)

Hope I hope you like
Like it like you hope
That I explode
(I say hello now)

Here we go
We’ve waited so long
Yeah, I know
Mary do come along

Hey!

(Sorry)
Talking to a punker priest
Just doggin’ the breeze
‘Bout being a tree
(This is a free land)

Along comes Mary-Christ
Skatin’ light on ice
Says there’s no-one high
(Another preschool)

Gotta go
We got a date now
Yeah, I know
Should not be late now

Sensed by x-ray eyes
Her spirit spies
Into my life
(Burn it out now)

Angel in a devil skirt
Buy me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(Yeah, Spit it out now)

Here we go
We’ve waited so long
Yeah, I know
But Mary do come along

Kool Thing
(Kim & Chuck D.)

Kool Thing sittin’ with a kitty
Now you know, you sure look pretty
Like a lover, not a dancer
Super boy take a little chance here

I don’t wanna
I don’t think so
I don’t wanna
I don’t think so

Kool Thing let me play with your radio
Move me, turn me on baby oh
I’ll be your slave
Give you a shave

I don’t wanna
I don’t think so
I don’t wanna
I don’t think so

“Yeah”
“Tell ‘em ‘bout”
“Hit her where it hurts”
Hey, Kool Thing
Come here
Sit down beside me
There’s something I gotta ask him
I just wanna know
What are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls from male white corporate oppression?
“Tell her like it is”
Huh?
“Yeah”
Don’t be shy
“Word up”
Fear of a female planet
“Fear of a female planet”
“Fear baby”
I just want you to know
That we can still be friends
“Let everybody know”
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Kool (kool)
Thing
Kool (kool)
Thing

When you’re a star (star)
I know that you’ll fix everything (everything, everything)

Kool Thing sittin’ with a kitty
Now you know you sure look pretty
Rock me just a little faster
Now I know you are the master

I don’t wanna
I don’t think so
I don’t wanna
I don’t think so

Kool Thing walking like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool Thing walking like a panther
What’d he say?

I don’t wanna
I don’t think so
I don’t wanna
I don’t think so

Mote
(Lee)

And you feel the spiral turning for you alone
And you feel so heavy that you just can’t stop it
When you see your madness turns you into stone
A picture of your life shoots like a rocket
All the time

Could be if you’re crazy it’s alright
I see you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell you
It’ll all come through, yes

From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together
Come through

Have I lived now with mote inside my eye?
And I can’t see you breathing as before
I am airless, a vacuum child
And I can’t stand to reason at your door
In this time

Could be if you’re crazy it’s alright
I’ve seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me
It’ll all come through, yes

From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together

I’m down in the day time, out of sight
Coming in from dreamland, I’m on fire
I can see it’s all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door

When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
And words don’t speak, just fall across the carpet
You’re just in time to watch the fire burn
It seems a crime that you face it like you love it
All the time

My Friend Goo
(Kim)

My friend Goo has a real tattoo
She always knows just what to do
She looks through her hair like she doesn’t care
What she does best is stand and stare

She can play the drums in two
And the boys say “Hey Goo, what’s new?” (“Hey Goo, what’s new?”)
My friend Goo just says “Pew.”
My friend Goo just says “Pew.”

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won’t mind if I tell you
She likes to wear green underwear
And they stand most anywhere

She doesn’t have nothing to do
And the boys say “Hey Goo, what’s new?” (“Hey Goo, what’s new?”)
My friend Goo goes “Pew.”
My friend Goo goes “Pew.”

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won’t mind if I tell you
I know a secret or two about Goo
I know a secret about Goo and you

And she sticks just like glue
And the boys go (“Hey Goo, what’s new?”)
My friend Goo just goes “Pew.”
My friend Goo just goes “Pew.”

Goo, Goo, Goo

Goo, Goo, Goo

Goo, Goo, Goo
My friend Goo
Goo, Goo, Goo
Talkin’ ‘bout Goo
Goo, Goo, Goo
My friend Goo
Goo, Goo, Goo
You would too
Goo

Disappearer
(Thurston)

Here it comes again, out of the rain
It seems to have a new kind of same

Been playing on a simple rhyme
The sign comes alive and speaks the mind

It turns to me and it turns to gold
It turns to see the fast lane slow

It’s been away too long
It’s been the way I’m goin’
It keeps coastin' on
And to the west star

Looking out I thought I saw it blink
Coming on to me like a silver eye

Pick it up and
Turn it on and
Head on out to
Western Starland

It’s been a man and gone
Now it’s a singing song
Like a western star
It’s going my way

Looking out I’m back in time to stay
Into the eastern silent way

It comes alive
Through the clearer
The ghost arrives
Into your mirror

You’ve been away too long
It’s been way too long
An eastern star is on
A disappearer

Cinderella's Big Score
(Kim)

If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You’d rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis

You really fucked up this time
Your lady’s really pissed
She’s not just laughing
She’s polishing her fist

If you could give me anything
But you couldn’t say no to this
Don’t give me your soul
It’s part in the abyss

Here’s a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonderless
A dream is a wish your heart desires
Cinderella is kiss

A cold is gonna take you
Freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near

Your heart’s a cross inside you
That you got no sense of time
Lied to your heart inside you
But I’m scared that you’re a crime

If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You’d rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis

A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near

Titanium Exposé
(Thurston & Kim)

Waking up I see you dreaming of a drive-in
Open your eyes to see TV set in blue
I been waiting for you to smile, I’ll be pretty freezin’
Winter time come summer, you are why it’s happenin’

Sugar babe, sugar babe, turn the TV
Do me babe, do me babe, can’t you see me?
I’m sugar now, sugar now, turn the TV
Do me babe, do me babe, can’t you see me?

I feel the morning slip it sights into your mirror
Now I see why you might see it’s pretty clear
I been looking just to feel that funny feeling
I don’t know, but it’s a mystery to reckon, right!

Sugar babe, sugar babe, turn the TV
Do me babe, do me babe, can’t you see me?
I’m sugar now, sugar now, turn the TV
Do me babe, do me babe, can’t you see me?
