There’s flies in the wall and there’s everything I never thought I’d see in you There’s worms in the floorboard and there’s everything I never thought I’d see in you Acid rippin through me, liquid on my brain and a handheld VCR Necromalic preachers, seraphimic teachers with my head in a jar Crows callin at you, screamin that there’s something that you really should come and see Bones in your eyeballs, paperclips and Midol and it’s such misery Oh, oh yeah, uh huh Fishers throw their poles in, you can later come again for it’s now my time to drown This time, not another, if you ain’t my brother then I guess I’ll see you around Dollars wavin with their wings, mystic concubine she sings a beautiful song Hair is all disheveled, voice just like the devil and there ain’t nothing wrong Nothing wrong nothing sacred nothing wrong there ain’t nothing wrong Nothing wrong nothing sacred nothing wrong nothing wrong Nothing wrong nothing sacred nothing wrong nothing wrong nothing wrong wooh Nothing wrong nothing sacred nothing wrong there ain’t nothing wrong Oh la la la la la la...

I got my guitar in my hands, sittin up on stage The only chords I know are G, C and D so I play them, what to sing about? I’ll sing about girls that don’t like me and I never could have a chance with But I throw myself at them anyway because I’m a musician or at least I think I am And maybe they’ll dig that and if they do maybe they’ll wanna get with me And they’ll see me playing up on stage and they’re like “Oh My God! That’s the same guy that I just downed the other day! But he’s so sexy now because he’s got a guitar and he’s playing all sorts of stuff And singing, he’s singing, oh he’s singing to me, he must be singing to me!” Comes out sounding like “ohh” In a coffeehouse on amateur night or whatever’s going on around, open mike night Ooooo aahhhh ahhh I’m playing slowly cuz girls like the slow songs Gives me a chance to show off the voice I don’t have "What style do you like?" And you answer “everything” Liar! Or maybe you do So I think that I’ll do my favorite thing and scream at the top of my lungs right now So nobody can understand my words I’m singin I like to go right down to the glass where I get my fill of stuff And then I just don’t know anymore You wanna tell me what I’m goin through But you got nothin on me now So close your eyes and punch your jaw Yow come on! La la la la la.....oh I could really care less and that’s a fact

There’s a time when I can remember that I had cash in my wallet But it’s long gone and it’s gone forever now There’s a time when I can remember that I had good health But it’s gone forever and it’s been a long time now I look out the window and there is a light I look out the window I ain’t feelin all right I see the trees they’re fallin and callin for me I turn on the radio and nothin good is on There’s nothin new with that but then I know That the man is talkin to me he’s talkin to me The times when I was smart and when I had good times but now I don’t And oh that was long ago and it is gone forever now There’s a time when I had it all When I was able to talk to somethin other than the wall But it’s long gone long time it’s gone forever now There’s a time and it’s gone and I don’t know where it went And I’ll never see it ever again Those times they’re gone and they’re gone away and I’ll never live to see another day like that oh no No no, no no no, no no no no no no no no, no no no no no no no There’s a time when I was able to read things and comprehend But it’s a long time now and I think it’s gone forever and a day, gone away There’s a time that I can think back to when everything was great and everything was new But it’s long gone now and I think it’s gone forever now Long gone, long gone, gone forever now Long long gone, long gone and gone forever now Long long gone and it’s gone forever now Long long gone and it’s gone forever now The time is gone forever that I know about I can’t even think about I can't hardly even speak aloud My head fell off and it’s long long gone and it’s gone forever now It’s long long gone and it’s gone forever now Pick up my eyeballs put em in a sack Turn me around and I’m never comin back Give me that pipe I want to light some crack and go away into my own world In the corner of the room where it’s always been And it’s always light and it’s always a sin And it’s always good and I always grin And I know just where I belong now Cuz I’m long long gone and it’s gone forever now I’m long long gone and I’m gone forever now I’m long long gone and I’m gone forever now I’m long long gone and I’m gone forever now Yeah, yeah, I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone...

Afghanistan 02:02
Screwdriver on my mind I ain’t the brooding kind Balance your face on the end of a spoon Give her the earth and she’ll ask for the moon Go in the sand and get trapped in a dune Jigsaw puzzle lifestyle Laid on the floor awhile Got my mouth full of dust and chalk Give her an inch and she’ll take you for a walk Don’t wanna hear it so don’t even talk Leaned on the pound key Wrote a word, mailed it to me Bleeding gelatin from my fingertip Give her a wheel and she’ll sink your ship Give her some change and she’ll fry your fish Give her a meal and she’ll break your dish Give her a smile and she’ll break your head Give her a bird and it’ll come back dead Oh, give her a speaker Give her some water Give her a lightbulb Give her a wire Give her a call Give her the desert Give her Afghanistan

Raining Song 07:30
You got my name but I ain’t got yours Is there a purpose to walkin out of my door I stuck inside the closet with my clothes and all my things If you wanna help me just help me sing We singin like this La la la la la I got a cheap lighter but it makes me look like I got class When I try to light something the thing’s a big pain in the ass Amplifier wires that I got for five bucks If you ask me about the weather my response’ll be it sucks La la la la la Sing along with me now La la la la la I sit in front of my computer which is my second new best friend I play games on emulators and my free time never ends When I’m through with that I go catch my friends down at the end of the hall After that I come back to my room and beat my head up against the wall I’m singin La la la la la If I could I’d be a mattress and lay horizontal all day Got nothing to do or think or be or feel or say I just wanna have some time to myself if that’s all right So if you want me I’ll be here all morning afternoon and night And singing La la la la la Yeah I’m singing La la la la la Even in my own daydreams I never get so very far I had one the other day I got run over by a Matchbox car Paper EMT’s came to get me but I didn’t have no insurance I tried to find the first cereal box I could but I lacked the proper endurance So I had to grab some scissors and cut out a piece of the sidewalk with my name I said you can be insured that this is what they call me they said that’s not what they say So then I looked them in the eye made of plastic and I told them to just get lost But that’s ok anyway because I was road sauce And I was sittin there singin singin singin singin singin singin singin sing it with me La la la la la Singing La la la la la I talk to seagulls and I talk to the trees but they don’t ever listen what I got to say The same for you and everybody else, y'all don’t listen anyway So I just ramble and ramble all on and have conversations with myself You can tell me about it all that you want, I could care less about my mental health Because I’m singin La la la la la I’m happy singin La la la la la Put a smile on singin La la la la la I’m happy singin La la la la la Get up I’m singin La la la la la I’m singin La la la la la I’m always singing La la la la la Singin La la la la la Just always singin La la la la la I'm fadin singin La la la la la

Back In Town 06:37
Soap scum on the tiles and there ain’t nothin else to be right now Stuck my head in a trashcan and there ain’t no reason to be somewhere for a while Livid blackness comin after me Shinin like a beacon in this light Oh Lord, what do I do now, where do I go Surround me in darkness, baby And let me feel that I’m the only one around Skewer me on a plastic spindle Cut my brains open with a fork and a spoon Send my soul up to the dark of the moon Yeah that’s what I’m-a talkin about Maybe you better listen to me Do the world a favor or at least for me Stick a fork in the first toaster or electric socket that you see Make sure that you lick it, make sure that your tongue’s on the end Because I don’t want you for a lover or even a friend Maybe a taste of politics Eatin too many drugs Destruction in my wake My wallet ain’t worth for to take Bustin down in stitches all over the ground Leavin nothin but blood and guts around I stand under a lamppost you ask me how much I am I tell you that I don’t know what you’re talking about nor do I give a damn I wrap a blanket around my neck and I jump through the window to fly You ask me am I fixin to die, am I fixin to die Am I fixin to die, am I fixin to die Am I fixin to die, am I fixin to die Am I fixin to die, am I fixin, Lord I’m fixin, am I fixin to die Yeah, whoa now come on baby Let’s get it on if you wanna get it on Then don’t waste no more of my time To talk about things about things that I don’t know That I never know, that I never wanted to know You tell me that I ain’t been around for a while And you don’t know what it looks like when I smile And it’s known It’s not a surprise and it should not come as one to you If you really knew me like you said you did Then baby why are you askin me so many questions Baby why are you askin me so many questions Make me want to take a plastic bag, wrap it around my head and breathe in deeply Cellophane atmosphere Cellophane atmosphere Cellophane atmosphere Cellophane atmosphere Cellophane atmosphere

Slob 02:46
Excitement all around the way Excitement all my bloody days Excitement hangin from my back Excitement all along the sidewalk cracks Tap water spilled all along the floor Got a trail slippin through the door There’s a bag of chips all up in the trash can Whose contents are spilled in the water Eight ounces Lost track of how long it’s been since I did the laundry Lost track how long it’s been since I took a shower Lost track how long it’s been since I ate something Oh yeah but I know how much I smoke though Well I just might get the urge to clean this place up some time Maybe tonight or maybe next year And I just might get the urge to find myself something to eat Then again I just might stay right here

I Got Nothin 06:13
Ah, no I got nothin, I got nothin, I got nothin I got nothin, I got nothin, no Oh I got nothin Bang my head against the wall Try to convince myself that my problems can be small My love got caught by stretches and stains I said my love is gone, stretched and stained It's no surprise to me, I throw my future down the drain Right down the drain Brown water leakin in Leavin a ring around the collar of the sink or the shower or the toilet bowl And I don't know why that I keep doin this But I think I'll just stick my head right down in that hole and breathe deeply now Got to, I wanna get drunk but I I can't handle it cuz I I broke my stomach lining Ah, ain't nothin left, nah, no more, not nothin no more Nothin no more... Yeah there ain't nothin happenin Ain't got no time to turn the key to lock my door no more No, there ain't nothin that I treasure anymore There ain't nothin even worth it Ain't nothin worth my time Ain't nothin on the phone Ain't nothin on the bed Ain't nothin all the time Ain't nothin in my head There ain't anything in my checkbook Nothin in my wallet Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car Ain't got no gas, ain't got no juice no more And I just like to feel this pain so sore

Plumbing 07:03
There ain’t really nothin that’s left to say You took all the words from my mouth and you threw them all away Got a wallet like Costanza, don’t know where these cards come from I asked you for your number, you looked at me like I was dumb Then again you really don’t exist and you don’t know who I am You ask me for my name I tell you Son of Sam You didn’t even smile you said "Well, that ain’t no laugh" So then I took my saw out and cut the sidewalk in half You must have thought that it was pretty surreal because your mouth dropped in a gape I didn’t mean to make you all confused so I put it back together with tape Well that seemed to make you feel better so you jumped down in the ditch Asking me "What’s your problem? You’re one weird son of a bitch" About that time I decided that it was time for me to go for a walk It was pretty rude of you not to even ask if I wanted to talk But it’s okay, it ran off my back like water on a dog I went back to my room and fell asleep on my favorite log About that time the water started running all down my floor The toilet overflowed and I didn’t know how to get out through the door The log started floating and next thing I knew I was downtown In front of Rox’s, it was Wednesday night so there was no one around I went into the dance floor and I asked for a drink They said "We’re out of water son, go to the bathroom" and they showed me the sink Well I was thirsty enough that I said okay and put my head under the tap But then I realized the sink was small, my head got stuck, and I said "Crap" And then as if an answer to a prayer or something, this big fat guy walked in Sat down in the stall, did I mention that he was hardly thin Well I went... I think I’ll spare you the details and just cut to the chase I got out of there with the sink on my head and a disgusted look on my face So there I was running completely soaked down in downtown Thibodaux Talkin to people that I thought were my friends, they pretended not to even know I musta looked pretty foolish and dumb with the plumbing on my head It’s one of them nights that you wish you could go to sleep and wake up dead I got back to my room somehow, don’t even ask me when I pulled the sink off of my head, saw the water, laid on the log and did it again, and singing la la la la la... If you’re waitin for a moral to the story then here it goes right here: If you’re lookin for friends you don’t need none, just find yourself a keg of beer Go shoot up everything in sight that you can find If you do it with a smile I’m sure nobody’ll mind And if you ever wake up on a log with the toilet full You know what to do, just go to the handle and pull And then after you’re done doing that hopefully you’ll wake up from a dream If you don’t, you can always scream

Facade 04:24
Golden city once stood so solid Filled with sunlight of a dual star In a corner where joy knows no bounds Given brilliance by a source not far Man of daylight walks through platinum streets Paved with visions of a place in passion Crumbled stone in a disjointed reality Wonders the source of hallucination Experiences of fabrication In orgasmic throes of what did fall From the candle which shone once brilliant Sick fluorescence pales the skin of all Stony city, asleep in silence Lit so dimly by a moon of slate In a corner where joy has no business Asked salvation at a time too late Man of midnight walks through desolate streets Paved with knowledge of a world so dismal Walks alone accompanied with memories Of a place where life appeared to be full
