Crappin' You Negative
Rats
( sung by dave )
Well, I swear
I never meant to
leave you tied up
to a train
that was already,
restless enough
some people
pick up speed before they crumble to dust
they're gone
temptation
to swallow
all that you're fed
brings on a sickness
the kind that
sticks in your head
I've looked inside the wasteland
where no one is spared
my head is gone
my head is gone, now
my head is gone, now
my head is. . .
GONE!
gone like the wind
and I can't stay inside my sweater
cold!
it ought to be
warmer than that
why's he
killing me
or is it all
just an illusion
I gotta stop
and think
well, I'm incomplete
my mind 's lost some pieces
machine, obsolete
one stair behind
I'll go to sleep
yeah, I found my revolution this time
my head is. . .

Maps of the Sun
( sung by everybody )
7 years I'm chasing planes
jet flame scorched my outstretched hand
threw it back and try again
7 days the white pavilion
found his head was cracked and weeping
a skeleton of wishful thinking
who mapped the sun?
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
so troubled by the same old story
the news and wires never tell how
my compass points in two directions
I'm too thirsty
the desert sky divided, asked me
how long before the paper volumes
rot inside the white pavilion
who tends the garden
who tends the garden
who tends the garden
7 years I'm chasing planes
jet flame scorched my outstretched hand
throw it back and try again
who tends the garden
7 days the white pavilion
found his head was cracked and weeping
a skeleton of wishful thinking
who mapped the sun king
and I breathe light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I rewind
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I breathe light
and I breathe light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
watching my soul escape
and I breath light
who mapped the sun king
and I breath light
who mapped the sun king
and I breath light
who mapped the sun king
and I breath light
who mapped the sun king
Dead Already
( sung by dave )
yeah, I think about what I find
better days, that are straight ahead
yeah, I'm down on my luck sometimes
its the luck that tends change you
somehow things get stronger
the more I wait, and watch for you to smile at me
It's a piece of luck that I've, grown to get used to
get my gun
In a house that's safe and warm
In a house that's safe and warm
I save my life now
better days are ahead, straight ahead
I grab something I'd find
It's the latest revolution
so sorry, I forgot to call me out
and let me know just why
everything's gone away
there ain't nothing
left, left to keep inside
In a house that's safe and warm
In a house that's safe and warm
I guess I'm dead already
smiling faces all wrong
dead already
oh god, what took you so long
dead already
silent faces all wrong
yeah, I'm still the cast
I'll get inside
In a house that's safe and warm
In a house that's safe and warm
In a house that's safe and warm
In a house that's safe and warm

Skin Man Palace
( sung by dave )
I am, the Mambo King
wrapped tight in my tarantula skin
hold down, a scrap yard
a cup of tea
for the Ann B. the queen
I got skins to trade
I got skins to trade
Helpless, stuck for cool, weasel for prim and peas
kimono
my dragon lady knows how to parlay voodoo for steam
I got the mambo down, seduce the town
I got the mambo down, seduce the town
well I am, the Mambo King
wrapped tight in my tarantula skin
live a soul, choke hold
drink a bottle or two a day, I don't know
these are all the plans I've made, because,
I got skins to trade
Muskrat cheat for five card stud
Cognac call for a licorice stall
Camaro
my mascara
breaks your sweat
take me where they play the mambo, thing
I am the mambo down, seduce the town
rain up like the weather
the skull of a mummy
When I close my eyes
I can be alone
rested in your arms
safe and warm and home
can you feel my love
you're my favorite thing
hold me in your kiss
put it in your ?

( sung by dave )

Bronze Cast
( sung by dave )
Cool jerk, no particular slogan
signs off from the bottomless pit
where everyone's going
still saying nothing
it's because of a sunburn
damn straight my cellophane case
take my match stick
yeah, I know some things go up quick
I was dragged to the edge of the earth
listen for whispers
positions that leak 600 degrees out their windows
yeah, somewhere out there, is the mountains of Jare with a statue
she's cast all in bronze, with one outstretched arm
the angle is perfect to hang your coat on
If I fall asleep
don't photograph me, photograph me
ask the bearded lady
which way to the River Hades
if its dark in the stair
something that witness saw when???
Cold jerk
no particular slogan
signs off of the bottomless pit
where nobodies going
yes I'm still at large from the cause of the sunburn
you see my cellophane case
is glued to a place
the skin of the city with my smiling DNA
hell of a time
hell of a time
hell of a time
Junkie Blood
( sung by dave )
get some sleep, while the sleepings good
remember empty cold and scared
waiting for the fog to clear
spent the night firing blanks
resurrection ain't no beautiful thing
a plastic spoon melted in two
by an appetite to powerful to fight
we don't shallow winter pools
jump from moving trains
live well beneath the scars
to long without the pain
get some sleep while the sleepin's good
staring down an empty room
waiting for a cup to fill
somethings disappear at will
spent the night firing blanks
resurrection ain't no beautiful thing
put your head between your knees
I think, he's gonna crash,
his shoot went through the roof
can't rip it off his back
still waiting on junkie blood
I can taste you like cinnamon
your eyes are black like licorice
can feel it like ?bollway?
? like an eyeful
I can smell you like a cup of blood
can squeeze it like butterscotch
right hand left like it used to be
so slow skin white like I wanna be
taste me like ?
?
fee fee fi fi fo fum
I can smell the blood of an Englishman
so strange stands like a willow tree
haha hey turn and laugh again
free finds finds what your looking for
lost god, gone like it used to be
?
?burn like Lucifer?
smells bad?
?or I can smell it like brimstone
I want you like heroine
I want this too like a kick to the head
black line, cross on a highway
strange stone ? to a garden
?
?
?
long gone just like a savior
I can taste you like cinnamon
? like licorice
?
I can smell it like brimstone
fee fee fi fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an Englishman
