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

Long Long Gone Long Gone

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...

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

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

Gonna, gonna scream
Gotta get shit straight
Gotta sit and wait
Gonna wake up dead
Gonna fly in my head
Pressure building up
Toss a blanket across the room
Come on give me what you’re showin off, whoa
Impatient, semiconscious
Gonna speak my doom
Spread the alarm
With a pain in my guts
Kissin the walls
Completely nuts
Gonna tear my hair
Gonna yell like a bear
Gonna stay in my cave
Gonna be my own slave, oh yeah no yeah come on
Pillow shams on the floor
Asshole at my door
Pounding like the inbreed he is
Oh come on now you got the mood
Kick it kick it kick it kick it kick it

Back In Town

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

Backpedalin softly and harshly
Gonna scrub my face off now
Gonna take that soap on a rope and hang things from it
Gonna take my towels and string em all over the room
Gonna take my mirrors and paint em blue
Gonna go to the Neutral Ground
Gonna get lost in the projects
Gonna get stopped at all the traffic lights
Gonna stick my hands in my eye sockets
Rub the sleep out of my eyes
Gonna live it up and ask myself why
Gonna trash my livin space totally complete
Gonna sing off key
Gonna make some stuff up now
Gonna go to sleep

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

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
