I Sell Soul

In the razored light everybody sees
I got my eye on you babe
Honey I feel free.

Honey I sell soul.

In a thousand years
twice the speed of sound
half the time it takes
I will amblify you.

Honey I sell soul.

Jump the ring of fire
Flow the fatman flow
Grow the blame on me baby
Honey I feel free.

Honey I sell soul.

In the razored light everybody sees
I got my eye on you babe
Honey I feel free.

In a thousand years
twice the speed of sound
half the time it takes
I will amblify you.

Honey I sell soul.

Birth Day

If it's my Birth Day then somehow on the first day
I plan to change how I feel
I plan to change the way I feel about you
Plan A I will run away
Plan B I might crawl maybe
Plan C is I bang my head
I bang my head against an everloving wall

In the style of last night Brittany Spears would've worked out right
It's a style
maybe a fashion
to get away with so little passion.

It's the spear of desire
or a lopsided ring-like fire
If I choose to maybe lose
If I choose to maybe live the blues
I could sail this ship of fools
I could sail it all alone
When I wake up darling I pray that just maybe then you'll be gone.

In the style of last night Brittany Spears would've worked out right
It's a style
maybe a fashion
to get away with so little passion.

Anna

I see the rain
The rain is good
I see the dark
The dark is fine
Hello! It's time to go
If you'll be me I'll drive you out of my mind.

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one who sees.

Anna I said you
One and one and one is two
Hello! It's time to go
If you'll be me I'll drive you out of my mind
Hello! It's time to go
If you'll be me I'll drive you out of your mind.

Look at me
I will look at you
Another day with nothing to do.

Shoulda heard just what I seen
I'm on the trail of a human being
One and one and one is two
I see the rain
The rain is good
I see the dark
The dark is mine
Hello! It's time to go.

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one who sees through me.

Butcherhouse 4

I don't like tiny bodies
I don't like small hands
I don't like round shapes
I don't like coming down here.

The air smells way too greasy
All the food is grown in dirt and feces
What the rain won't wash away
it's what they call ripe and I call decay.

I don't like tiny bodies
I don't like small hands
I don't like round shapes
I don't like coming down here.

I'm happy living in a state of grace
bits of foil floating all over the place
I've got a wrench I see the stars
And all is clean All is klar.

I don't live on the moon anymore
I've got me a pod out on Butcherhouse 4.

I don't like tiny bodies
I don't like small hands
I don't like round shapes
I don't like coming down here.

I don't live on the moon anymore
I've got me a pod out on Butcherhouse 4.

I don't want to hear the flies
then look around and realize
I've been living in a total lie
I've been living in a total lie.

I smell your body with you inside
Inside is watching me.

I don't live on the moon anymore
I've got me a pod out on Butcherhouse 4.

Romeo & Juliet

This is me sitting on a couch
Don't I look happy?
Or maybe contented
Or maybe just okay
Then somebody calls
They said you were back
I thought about us
but if we were just like Romeo & Juliet
how come you're the one
The one that's still alive?

I said I would see you often in my dreams
I said that I'd love you til the day that I die
I said that I'd think about you and me all the time
but if we were just like Romeo & Juliet
how come you're the one
The one that's still alive?
How come you're the one?

This is me sitting on a couch
Don't I look happy?

Sister Love Train / Love Train Express

Sister Love Train
I'll be the spark that sets the scrub on fire
Up the down side through a landslide
I'll be the rock that brings the mountain down

Sister Love Train
I'll be the cock that brings the morning light
Out the screen door through the back porch
I want to talk to you
Can I come inside? Can I be your light?

In a world of gray a gaudy neon sign?
Let me hear you sigh
Can I be your light?
In a rotten world
the one who does you right?

Sister Love Train
I'm like a superman I got a real good plan
I'll be waiting here I won't disappear
All the sticks and stones will never break these bones.

Sister Love Train
You'll never miss the night It's gonna be alright.
Up the down side through a mudslide
In a couple years we'll see what time will show.

Sister Love Train, can I be your light?
In a world of gray a gaudy neon sign?
Let me hear you sigh
Can I be your light?
In a rotten world the one who does you right?

Good Times Never Roll

I see you baby standing there
I see you baby that you're standing there
I see you baby how you're standing there
With that long slow smile and a dead eye stare.

Hey! What's your game?
Hey! I know a thing or thre
Through the leaves of an itchy tree
I watch that sucker punch you call your sugar cane.

Honey good times will never roll
Honey honey good times will never roll
Honey honey honey they don't roll
They crawl on their belly through the dust under Crystal Hill.

You call that sucker punch your sugar cane
You call that sucker punch your sugar cane
I watch that sucker punch your sugar cane
It's a long hard look at a world of pain.

Six And Two

I might choose to maybe lose
I might choose to get to know the blues
I might sail on this ship of fools
on the bloody waves of a thousand wounds
I might sail on this ship of fools
I'll be damned if I know something better to do.

I wrote a song a song about you
I asked my friends if they recognized you
It's crazy the sort of things I think
in the desperate hours of standing on the brink
Let me know if you're ready to go
Let me know if you're ready to go.

In a thousand ways it's all about you
I doubt my senses I doubt the things I know
It's all I see It's who you are
It's a bottomless face on the top of a jar
I might sail on this ship of fools
I'll be damned if I know something better to do.

Maelstrom

I got a phone call
It was a girl call
It was confused
It was confused
I said Alright.

I got a phone call
I said Yes
Then I said Yes
Then I said Maybe
I said Alright Alright baby.

I got a phone call
It was a girl call
It was from you
It was from you
I said Alright.

Pretty

You're so pretty and sometimes I'm witty
So we drift along
I watch you from the corner of my eye
I'm the chump who watches you.

So why don't you have a boyfriend?
Why do you live alone?
I guess you're damaged goods
else what are you doing here?
