Bummer
( sung by dave )

baby finds a
piece of cloth now
shorn in half
by a teardrop

she's learned a lesson that smarts now
found herself falling apart
think about her maybe it fits now
until she's getting closer to quits
if I creep around her maybe she'll stick

only trouble is, nobody knows her when she's down

baby's fine
takes another shot of
something warm
to cool her off now

she's learned a lesson that smarts now
found herself falling apart
if I think about her maybe it fits now
until she's getting closer to quits
if I'll creep around her maybe she'll stick

only trouble is, nobody knows her when she's down

she's learned a lesson that smarts, now
found herself falling apart, now
that means I'm falling for this
she gets a little closer to me

only trouble is, nobody knows her when she's down

she's down
she's down
so down

She Blows Blasts of Static
( sung by dave )

hey yeah, baby
I want to be your. . .

can I touch your wedding dress
the way it's supposed to be
heads to  floor
divided by
the thing she wore
disgust me
when you say,
you don't trust me
look betrayed
that I'm bored
I stumble on
still 16 34 42 oh

one thing I know for sure now
she blows blasts of static
one thing I'll never know now
is how to make things right

So blow a kiss now
taste of blood comes first
from a casing worn soon gets beneath
the well that's formed
corrupt me
that's it babe, well
I must be
a head once shaved
now adorned
with strands of gold
? piled against your soul

One thing I know for sure now
She blows blasts of static
One thing I'll never know now
It's how to get things right

cut it away
give it away

cut it away
give it away

cut it away
give it away

cut it away
give it away

Shark
( sung by scott )

yeah, I'd been at a bar last night
 and I saw this trick and she looked alright
she smiled, waving, she called me over
so I sat down and tried to. . .

she said,
 "I like different things,
  I don't like diamond rings.
  It's just a little thing,
  but I'll take you".

I said, "Alright,
  I don't. . ."

we head back to her place, last night
and we, we drank some more and looked alright
she tied me down and stuck her tongue around my ear

Just like Spiderman
she can. . .
she read my cards
and she made me. . .
?

"I like different things,
I don't like diamond rings.
It's just a little thing,
But I'll take you."

she said,  "I don't need no one,
  I'll fuck anyone.
  I'll chew them up,
  and spit them out on the street, yeah".

I said, "Alright,
   I don't want to fight,
   I just need that shit tonight"

Teenage Jesus
( sung by tripp )

yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

guess I'm slow to grow up
always swallow hard but never throw up

Jeannie found the tarot card
that put my life on hold
how long can you hold your breath
until you think you've found yourself

I'm slow to grow up
always swallow hard but never throw up

Jeannie found the tarot card
that put my life on hold
how long can you hold your breath
until you think you've found yourself

teenage Jesus

'Side
( sung by scott )

tired of living on my knees
trying to stumble on my feet
burn my candle at both ends
and my ?heels? spins
come in side

colors change from black to blue
just like Tigger said to Pooh
a fish can't whistle and neither can I
I steal rhythm and I reply
in side

ain't no big thing
got my pocket full of ashes
I would love to anything you
just to feel a portion
of my (fill?fear?of what I feel). . .
? no one? understand?
go to my corner in the sky
don't mean no thing
with my pocket full of ashes
with my pocket full of ashes
with my pocket full . . .

tired of looking in your eyes
tired of all the fucking lies, yeah
? for take you better, I won't care

come in side

#1
( sung by dave )

I wait for hours
stay awake for days on end
I need a shower
I need to make mends again

I know I, what it's like to feel
I know I, what it's like to feel
I know I, what it's like to feel
I know I, what it's like to feel
I know, what it's like to feel
I know. . .

Tupelo Moan
( sung by dave )

I see my fist cross
this piece of timber
then, I'm a ghost
and stick my howl
outside my window

and this weight I carry
stings deep. . .
so long as you're drinking
it ain't never gonna raise me
so I strut

please don't,
?sugar/shiver? my soul down
please don't
? lock my ? across my face ? ? ?

put it together,
please, put it together,
any old way

yeah,
don't knockin' on my door
you've been diggin' up souls , please
no (sheriff?) made me wanna keep the bees from stealing my drink
he ain't no mocha hall, pizzaboy, gonna save me

please don't,
?sugar? my soul down
please don't,
pull the sheet across my face

please, put it together
please put it together
any old way

please

Wonder
( sung by scott )

hey, did you get the name of that truck
 that just ran me down
oh, I wonder
 what I've done now

I can't sleep at night
I can't even. . .
and I wonder
what you think

? ? ?
that stuff with your eyes
I wonder
why did I lie
I can still hear
and I dream
and I wonder

I wonder
about the guy in that truck
that just ran me down
does he wonder
what I've done

Corolla Hoist
( sung by dave )

she is so undressed
can't right herself
freed like severed limbs

sun becomes a ball of rust
scrap heap ceiling gone
no drum megaphone
shout, scream, my windshield down
deep in Georgia mud
I hear her scream

and I wheel like a cyclone
taste my diesel fumes, don't you doze
and  I see that inside
when I'm casting my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow

Tonight, so possessed
the sucker sounds so distressed
cause were living in the 30's, Jack
candy M's ain't coming back
scrap heap ceiling blown
no drum megaphone
shout, scream, my windshield down
deep in Georgia mud
I hear her scream

and I wheel like a cyclone
taste my diesel fumes, don't you know
and I see that inside
when I cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow

Encrusted
( sung by dave w/scott )

She lies, with her silence
just like my violence,
sunken deep

and I can't sleep with my eyes closed
and I can't sleep with my eyes closed
and I can't sleep with my eyes closed
and I can't see with my eyes closed
and I can't see with my eyes closed
and I can't see with my eyes. . .

? ? move turn your head around
does it feel to be lifeless
things explode then they'll crawl across the ground
wrap themselves around you
so long, sucker

I don't know if you see me or not
I don't see if you know me or not
can't comprehend if you feel my shame
You heard my anger, heal my pain
I can't see what's in the way
But I could give you everything
feel my anger, feel my pain
????????Take my hand don't be ashamed ?????????
I could love you just for free
Don't you start with your stupid games
I would love you every night
But, I couldn't make, all right!!
But, I LOVE YOU!!

we head back to her place, last night
and we drank some and we looked alright

The Casual Years

It's all what you're thinking
you've been told not to think
and your eyes go to sleep
in your head

slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down

It's all what you're thinking
you've been told not to drink it
and your eyes go to sleep
in your head

slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down

Sain
( sung by scott )

So let me buy you a beer
my credit's still good here
and we could talk for hours

Can I bum a cigarette
to help me to forget
why I quit smoking

You said integrity is for fools
quit lying about the rules
and you'll get caught anyways, any day now

They say my life is in this shot
and yeah, my time is in this clock
my heads under my hat above my heart that's breaking

And yeah, it's just like Tweedle Dee
well she's stuck with Dweedle Dum
and she don't have no fun

And she's already abandoned me
I've got heal it with this drink (another guess)
oh, lets play Space Invaders

One of these days I'll get my shit together
and I'll see you out in the streets
A circumstance. Well, I lost my fucking chance
but I aint got nothing to do but dream

Just Passing Out
( sung by dave )

Glowing shapes
safest shapes can get now

I pull the drapes
nothing keeps the shadow bound
doesn't matter what you want
'cause no one's there
we've all been drunk
I wish that I could ?
? ? ? out
you know it
you know I would

if I could just keep from passing out
if I could just keep from passing out
if I could just keep from passing out
maybe I could figure it out

if I could just keep from passing out
maybe I could figure it out

just keep from passing out
   glowing shapes. . .
just keep from passing out
   safest shapes you can get now
just keep from passing out
   pull the drapes
maybe I could figure it out
   nothing keeps the shadow bound

just a swallow
something hollow
I turn my head away

just keep from passing out
maybe I can figure it out
just keep from passing out
maybe I could. . .

I Arise
( sung by scott )

I wake up

The sunlight hurts my eyes

You're asleep
I've got a feeling that I can't disguise

I feel your skin
It's so close to mine

I  hold your hand
thank god I'm not lonesome night(?)

I arise

I arise

I touch your cheek
still wet from tears last night

you're asleep

Right now I love you with all my might
Wake up! Open your eyes
Can't you hear me whisper in your ears
Wake up! Come now to life
I thank god that I'm. . .

I arise

I arise
