Underwater I Love You
He's got the hots for her so bad it's a headache
He wants to touch her but he can't stay awake
He's into takinofthelovinofthespittinoftheshoutinandamakeanothermove
She wants another lover maybe somehow she can make him do
Underwater I love you
Underwater I love you, I do.
Underwater I love you.
Underwater, baby..
She grabs him by the shirt and face to face she's got her own
A man of flesh and blood but this one's just a sack of bones
She shakes and smacks him in the head
He dreams of takin' her to bed
She screams so loud she's gonna wake the dead
Underwater I love you
Underwater I love you, I do.
Underwater I love you.
Underwater, baby..
She wants a piece of passion hotter than a hurricane
He says "I'm sorry but I only give a summer rain
She wants a needle in the hole
She wants to drown him in her whole
She got to, she's gonna take control
Color of Mine
Hello brother, won't you take a step back
Back away from the car It's worth
More than you
You're not worth one, You're not
Worth a dime
You're not the color of mine
Big Whitey, when your pearly gates are closed
You fancy clothes and cigarettes
There's not a way in the world that you could
Put on my clothes
They wouldn't fit you
That wouldn't fit you
Think twice before you make any motion
Wipe the sweat off your face
There's not a curse in the world
That I could lay on my lips
That wouldn't fit you
That wouldn't fit you
You wouldn't, I wouldn't, You wouldn't say it again
You wouldn't, I wouldn't know Let's not make amends
You're not the color of mine.
Johnny Can't Drive
It's a beautiful day for a drive
It's a beautiful day to meet your maker
Drivin' with Johnny
John of the Road
Puffy clouds in wide blue eyes
Clear a lane 'cause Johnny's getting road wise
Swears that he owns it
Johnny's the man
We all know that Johnny can't drive
Hope and pray we make it alive
I didn't mean to wake you up
Sorry Johnny, the can's about to break up
Johnny, you're drivin
We're all gonna die
Best take a taxi
Eardrums are waxy
Get out of the way, no don't ask why
Suffice it to say that he can't drive to save his life
We all know that Johnny can't drive
Hope and pray we make it alive
We all know that Johnny can't drive
May be maimed at least we'll arrive.
Holding Out for the Roses
She's walking barefoot, he's walking on the tips of his toes
She's loving deceiving and that's something that he already knows
He took two looks at her; set his sould on the move
She wanted something from him, something so damned elusive
Show me what you're made of
Show me what you'll do for me boy
She's holding out for the roses
Waiting to feel the sweet thorn in her hand
Holding out for the roses
Never let a man let her down again
Here comes the romance that he never did want to begin
He had convinced himself that he'd never give flowers again
She wanted more from him but she never did want him to see
Just a little poked and prodded, maybeget him to move
Move a little over
Move a little closer, just give me a kiss
She felt a little bit of confusion
Such a comfortable confusion
She wanted more from him that he ever wanted to give
She said you'll have to give me more
She's holding on to the roses
Felling down that sweet thorn in her hand
Holding on to the roses
Never let a man let her down…
Sideways Town
Watched 'em building a freeway
Pushed the limits of town
So they hauled in the concrete
To cover the ground
Big roads
Leap frog
Got sixteen lanes and nowhere to walk
I'd try to get out on the ground
If they hadn't built this town all sideways
Never say never
Build it once it's forever
No, they'll never tear it down
Drove on out to the suburbs
Heard the good life abounds
But then all that I found there
Was a sideways town
Strip malls
Gas pumps
Got all I'd need but not a thing I'd want
I tried to get away but the damned town came to get me
Never say never
Build it once it's forever
Never once knock it down
Each step and they're close
To more lost than before
Like a man with a mission
Who can't find the door
Fast food
Big Chains
I've had enough it's all the same old shit
With different names
They keep growing that neon highway stain
Never say never
Because once is forever
No they can't knock it down
It's a drop in the bucket
The way this town here has grown
Each time they say fuck it
Then they call it,
They call it home.
Smile
Looked at you and saw a smile
Took your hand and wandered half a mile
Turned out all the lights again
It comes around and goes back down again
Turned around, sky turned black
I wondered why you turned your back away
No, you'd never fade away
Turned around, sky turned blue
I wondered if you ever knew I loved you
Loved you more than words could tell
When it comes around and goes back down again
When it comes around and goes back down again
When it comes around and goes back down again
When it comes around and goes back down again
Breathe
Cold out
On your own
Hold your head up
Head on home
Drop and falter
On your knees
Beffore mercy
Nurse me
Please
Hold you head up
Above water
Old and fed up
You don't bother
You want to breath it all in
Mai Tai
Cocktail hour
Kick your head back
Feel the power
Rushing pulsing
In your veins
It's controlling
Gripped you
Kick you
Holy water hold me
Hold me underwater
Tie my hands behind my back
Hold me underwater
I want to breathe it all in
Homesick
None to find
Blow your brains out
Nevermind
Wasted
Face up
Watch that sky
Armed to greet you
Meet you
Beat you
Losing my Marbles
6 am
I'm on the front porch
I'm watching reruns again
Look in the window
Watchin' the Flintsones
Betty is kickin' me out of the house
Take me to the highway
Jump in my auto
Where to end up I don't know, I don't know
Wave at the window
Kissing her goodbye
There's not a trace of a tear in her eye
Rain on the windshield
Drive through the cow fields
I look for lovers at night
Squintin and steerin
Hope for a clearing
Shaking my head; clear it out, clear it out
Too many cars
Too many cows
Too many cars in the middle of the road when I drive
Findin' a lover
A lover a bovine
Drinkin' her milk 'cause it's sweeter than wine
Never to look back
Never you mind now
I've got my lover the good cow
Killin' us both
Smacking the sign post
Here we come meeeting our heavenly host
Kissing your lips I'd kiss the divine
Losing my marbles I'm losing my mind
Jerk on the wheel but it stays in a line
Losing my marbles…
Bone
(a gripe song)
They rumble along in a cage of steel,
Those imbeciles behind the wheel
Better run for your life
Too much they concentrate on conversation
Daydreams, booze, the music station
How did they ever get to drive?
They speed along in ignorance
Clouded empty heads
Oh better run from 'em
Oh you might turn out….dead
Had a bone or two to pick about the dumb and restless
Doing nothing, that just gets us sadly thrown into…
One and one they make another
Daddy's gone and then there's mother
Oh what the hell are they thinking?
Him she loves although he's left
Her little one's life so soon a mess
She pours another drink then.
Will baby ever jump the fence?
Cruel life, it must commence
Oh better run for it
Do mommy and daddy know what they've…done
Senate man, no good at all
You stuff his face, you buy a law
Little man's got the power
Camera's on it's time to sell
He claims to serve the people well
Oh little man's got the power
But justice doesn't pay the rent
So involved he's ignorant
Oh in his own little….
Oh and his head is so…dense
Feel Like a Nut
Chocolate bars, leave me lonely
Eatin' chicken cause the fish is too bony
Avacado in my eye sniffin' flowers like a fruit fly
Never gimme carrots for the pot pie
Tell you momma that I'm never gonna stir fry
I don't give a spam, I ain't servin no pot luck
Tell your brother that the food's on
I got more spoo than a trout spawn
I read news in black and white, I eat crab 'cause
The clam is too tight
Momma says I gotta big piece of salam
I know it's right 'cause she never been wrong
I like what I've been givin slurpin' down the Pabst Blue Ribbon
Smearin' Crisco on a baby gerbil,
Watching it squirm like a Ninja Turtle
Never had to be wishin, to shove it in the ass of a politician
Food is what I eat most
I've been sleepin with a big pot roast
Never shower with a bald man
Got a fetish for cornish game hen
Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't
Tasty, the frosted icing
I like to sleep with water bison
I ate my breakfast Wheaties, I am so damn big and meaty
Pickle in my head like an ice pick
You're gonna love it like you love thick Bisquick
I gotta toothache, when I go, it's like an earthquake
Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't.
Read Between the Lines
I'd have to tell you that my heart's not in it
I'd have to tell you that it's fine
I'd have to butcher up the truth
You'll have to read between the lines
Leave a light on when you're sleeping
You never know what comes to get you
There's a full moon up, it's creeping
It wrings its hands, it wants to pet you
Maybe I mean I don't mean it
That doesn't mean that I don't mind
But all the times I think I've seen it
It seems my head's in my behind
Leave you out there
Give you no more clues of where to turn
No ball of twine to guide you home
Feel the fingers pushing pressing
On your flesh it burns
I cannot say I'm all alone
I'm all alone here
You make your own way
You make your own way home
The sound of feet go pitter patter
Like dripping water on my tongue
I cut it off it doesn't matter
Don't understand I'm just too young
You turn the pages and you'll see there's nothing in there
There's not a meaning that you'll find
I'm not a doctor or a poet or philosopher
I have to read between the lines
