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.
CHORUS - Hello, hello, hello, How low? Hello, hello, hello, How low? Hello, hello, hello. With the lights out it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, entertain us. A mullato, an albino, a mosquito, my libido. Yay, yay, 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.
CHORUS
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, what ever, nevermind.
CHORUS - followed by A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial, A denial!
In Bloom
Sell the kids for food. Weather changes moods. Spring is here again. Reproductive glands.
CHORUS - He's the one who likes all the pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun but he knows not what it means, knows not what it means and I say, He's the one who likes all the pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he knows not what it means, knows not what it means and I say, "Aahh"
We can have some more. Nature is a whore. Bruises on the fruit. Tender age in bloom.
CHORUS x2
"Aahh, Oo."
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, don't be late. Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria. Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be; as a trend, as a friend as an old memoria, memoria.
And I swear that I don't have a gun, No, I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. Memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria. And I swear that I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun, No, I don't have a gun. Memoria, memoria.
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 old. 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, way, way from your home. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, of a ghost.
CHORUS x2 - 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 she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, said.
Lithium
I'm so happy because today I've found my friends. They're in my head. I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you. We've broken our mirr'rs. Sunday morning is ev'ry day, for all I care. And I'm not scared. Light my candles in a daze 'cause I've found God.
CHORUS - Hey, hey! Hey, h-hey! Hey, hey! Hey, h-hey! Hey, hey! Hey, h-hey! hey!
I'm so happy because to day 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.
CHORUS
CHORUS 2 - I like you, I'm not gonna crack. I miss you, I'm not gonna crack. I love you, I'm not gonna crack. I'd kill you, I'm not gonna crack. 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'd kill you, I'm not gonna crack.
Repeat Verse 1
CHORUS, CHORUS 2
Polly
Polly wants a cracker, I think I should get off her first. I think she wants some water to put out the blow torch.
CHORUS - It isn't me. We have some seed. Let me clip your dirty winds. 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 more food. She asks me to untie her. A chase would be nice for a few.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
Territorial Pissings
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions.
CHORUS - Gotta find a way to find a way when I'm there. Gotta find a way, a better way, I had better wait.
Never met a wise man; if so it's a woman.
CHORUS x2
Instrumental interlude
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.
CHORUS x3
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 completely drain you. A travel through a tube and end up in your infection.
CHORUS - 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 you pupil. You've taught me everything without a poison apple. The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student. In debted and so grateful. Vacuum out the fluids.
CHORUS followed by you, you, you, you, you, you.
One baby to another said I'm lucky to have met you. I don't care what you think unless is is about me. It is now my duty to completely drain you. A travel through a tube and end up in your infection.
CHORUS followed by Sloppy lips to lips, You're my vitamins because I like you.
Lounge Act
Truth covered in security, I can't let you smother me. I'd like to but it wouldn't work, trading off and taking turns. I don't regret a thing.
CHORUS And I've got this friend, you see who makes me feel and I wanted more than I could steal. I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield. I'll go out of my way to prove I still smell her on you.
Don't tell me what I want to hear. Afraid of never knowing fear, experience anything you need. I'll keep fighting jealousy. Until it's fucking gone.
CHORUS
Truth covered in security, I can't let you smother me. I'd like to but it wouldn't work, trading off and taking turns. I don't regret a thing.

Stay Away
Monkey see, monkey do. I don't know why! I'd rather be dead than cool. I don't know why! Ev'ry line ends in rhyme. I don't know why! Less is more, love is blind. I don't know why!
CHORUS - Stay, stay away! Stay away! Stay away!
Give an inch, take a smile. I don't know why! Fashion shifts, fashion style. I don't know why! Throw it out and keep it in. I don't know why! Have to have poison skin. I don't know why!
CHORUS x2
Monkey see, monkey do. I don't know why! I'd rather be dead than cool. I don't know why! Ev'ry line ends in rhyme. I don't know why! Less is more, love is blind. I don't know why!

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 learned to cry on command. I love myself. better than you. I know it's wrong. So, what should I do?
CHORUS - I'm on a plain. I can't complain. I'm on a plain.
Somewhere I have heard this before in a dream my mem'ry has stored. As defense I'm neutered and sprayed. What the hell am I trying to say?
My mother died every night. It's safe to say, don't quote me on that. I love myself. better than you. I know it's wrong. So, what should I do? The black sheep got black-mailed again. Forget to put on the zip code. I love myself. better than you. I know it's wrong. So, what should I do?
CHORUS
Somewhere I have heard this before in a dream my mem'ry has stored. As defense I'm neutered and sprayed. What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear, to write off lines that don't make sense. I love myself. better than you. I know it's wrong. So, what should I do? One more special message to go and then I'm done, then I can go home. I love myself. better than you. I know it's wrong. So, what should I do?
CHORUS followed by I can't complain. I'm on a plain. I can't complain.
Something In The Way
Underneath the bridge, the tarp has sprung a leak. And the animals I've trapped, have all become my pets. And I'm living off of grass, and the drippings from the ceiling. But it's okay to eat fish, 'cause they haven't any feelings.
CHORUS - Something in the way. Mm. Something in the way, yeah. Mm. Something in the way. Mm. Something in the way, yeah. Mm. Something in the way. Mm. Something in the way, yeah. Mm.

Blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew. If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose. If you wouldn't care I would like to leave. If you wouldn't mind I would like to breath. Is there another reason for your stain. Could you believe him when you discussed his stain? Here is another word that rhymes with shame. You could do anything
Floyd the Barber
Hello Cobain come on in. Floyd observes my hairy chin. Sit down in the chair don't be afraid. Steaming hot towel on my face
CHORUS - I was shaved, I was shamed, I was shaved
Barney ties me to the chair, I can't see I'm really scared. Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip. Pee-Pee pressed against my lips
CHORUS
Floyd lets others in the room. Opie, Aunt Bea I presume. They take turns and cut me up. I die smothered in Aunt Bee's muff...
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS - 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.
CHORUS
School
Won't you believe it, It's just my luck. No recess. You're in high school again
Love Buzz
Would you believe me when I tell you, You are the queen of my heart. Please don't deceive me when I hurt you. Just ain't the way it seems. Can you feel my love buzz.
Paper Cuts
When I'm feeling tired, She pushed food through the door. And I crawl towards the crack of light. Sometimes I can't find my way. Newspapers spread around. Soaking all that they can. A cleaning is due again, a good hosing down. The lady whom I feel maternal love for, cannot look me in the eyes. But I see hers and they are blue. And they cock and twist and masturbate. I said so, Nirvana.
Black windows of paint. I scratched with my nails. I see others just like me. Why do they not try to escape? They bring out the older ones, They point in my way, They come with a flash of light. And take my family away. And very later I have learned to accept some friends of ridicule. My whole existence is for your amusement. And that is why I'm here with you! To take you with me. You're right, Nirvana.
Negative Creep
This is out of our reach... 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.
This is out of our range... and it's crude. This is getting to be... like drone. I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned!
Fuck! Yeah! Drone! Stoned!
Scoff
In my eyes, I'm not lazy. In my face, It's not over. In your room, I'm not older. In your eyes, I'm not worth it.
Gimme back my alcohol. Give me all your...
Swap Meet
They lead a lifetime that is comfortable. They travel far to keep their stomachs full. They make their living off of arts and crafts. They kind with seashells driftwood and burlap. They make a deal when they come to town. The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground.
She loves him more than he will ever know. He loves her more than he will ever show
--Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart. --Keeps her photographs close to her heart. --Keeps the bitterness close to the heart.
Mr. Moustache
Fill me in on your new vision. Wake me up with indecision. Help me trust your mighty wisdom. Yes I eat cow - I am not proud. Show me how you question, question. Lead the way to my temptations. Take my hand and give it cleaning. Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.
Is he in an easychair? --Poop as hard as a rock. I don't like you anyway. --Seal it in a box
I'm new [Now you], I'm who? I'm you.
Sifting
Afraid to grade, Wouldn't it be fun? Cross, self loss, Wouldn't it be fun? Wet your bed, Wouldn't it be fun? Some fear none [Sun felt numb], Wouldn't it be fun?
CHORUS - Your eyes... Teacher said, Your eyes... Preacher said, "Don't have nothing for you"
Spell the smell, Wouldn't it be fun? Search for church, Wouldn't it be fun? Wet your bed, Wouldn't it be fun? Cold in gold [Cold in coals], Wouldn't it be fun?
Big Cheese
Big cheese Make me. Mine says, "Go to the office." Big cheese Make me. Mine says, what the hell?
CHORUS - Black is black, no trading back. We were enemies.
Show you all what a man is [Sure you are, but what am i?] Big lies make mine. Mine says "Go to office". Big cheese Make me. Message? What is it?
CHORUS
She eats glue, how bout you?
Downer
Portray sincerity, Act out of loyalty. Defend your true country, Wish away the pain. Hand out lobotomies. To save little families. Surrealistic fantasy, Bland boring plain.
Hold me down in restitution, Living out your date with fusion. Is the whole fleece shun in master? Don't feel guilty, master writing Somebody said that they're not much like I am. I know I can. Make enough of the words for you to follow along. I sink and then some. Slippery pessimist hypocrite master. Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard. Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth. I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst.

Jesus Don'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 you.
The Man Who Sold The World
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when. Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend. Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes. I thought you died alone, a long long time ago. Oh no, not me. I never lost control.
CHORUS - You're face to face, With The Man Who Sold The World.
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home. I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed. I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here. We must have died along, a long long time ago. Who knows? not me. We never lost control.
CHORUS
Pennyroyal 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.
CHORUS - 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.
CHORUS
I'm on warm milk and laxatives. Cherry-flavored antacids.
CHORUS
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.

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 foothills and shake the many hands.
CHORUS - The is 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.
CHORUS
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 down 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 Apologies
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.
CHORUS - In the sun. In the sun I feel as one. 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.
CHORUS
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 about a mile from here. His head was found in a driving wheel. But his body never was found.
