4 70 AC baby, spinning mad plastered
Insignificant, buzzing treetops
Following hood ornaments
Mega-buzz clothesline
Professions of guilty life
Television fix
Rooked by a saint, hardcore stoned
Filleted junkfish
Lawnmower junkie
Flame water washtub
Fossilized coprites

Down On My Luck
03:42
|
|||
Just got paid
Work by the hour
Minimum wage
Tax on the dollar
One month’s worth barely cleared $400
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Fishing for change in my neighbor’s cushions
Hope he don’t catch me
A quarter’s all I’m wishing for
So I can get some lunch
Super size a luxury
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Saving coupons to tape on ceiling cracks
Burned my checkbook to cook a frozen snack
Got no power
Bill is just a man’s name
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy

I like to smoke by the dumpster with cigarettes bought on borrowed cash
Feelin high like a loser, second hand smoke mingled with the trash
Got a job washing dishes, taking out the garbage and stocking the shelf
Cleanin up when the doors close, moppin all the floors all by myself
In the summer heat dumpster shade can't be beat
You can take the indoor fan, as for me I sit by the garbage can
I like to smoke by the dumpster takin my breaks that I really don't have
With my hands wet with garbage, I rub em on the doorknob when I want a laugh
Got a job making food, stretchin the dough with my unwashed hands
Washing up with no soap, slicin raw meat and openin cans
I like to smoke by the dumpster, earnin my green for a broken down cause
Sittin down on a trash bag, apathetic watchin life slip through the jaws
I like to smoke by the dumpster, earnin my green for a broken down cause

It's like deja vu baby at the other end
Swallowed whole, bored to the brains
Got my badge hijacking trains
Plaster lighthouse all out of dimes
Intercom button, magnet chimes
Invisible glasses, rain puddles quaking
Wirevine racecar, diesel trucks braking
Ice water cocktail, electrical pants
Computer game soft drink preaching science
Tell me it’s unreal baby
Fog up the windows, 3 for a dollar
Empty jewel case makes you holler
Spoken (1):
With the leather strapped together
With red tape
Electrical tape duct tape invisible tape
Video tape
Any kind of tape
I love tape I love it I love tape
Wrap me up with tape
Spoken (2):
Red tape yeah
I like it with the ashtrays and box cutters
And the mixers on four and rulers with compasses
You get from cereal boxes and maybe some blank tapes
And a rabbit and a plastic boot and a model airplane
And the white house and the capitol and a Charles can
Spoken (3):
I love I love tape give me tape
I like the tape somebody give me some tape please
Will you give me some tape I like tape I like tape
It’s all nice and sticky on one side and smooth on the other and you can see through it too
I like tape you can see through

Paper Cup
02:47
|
|||
Styrofoam plate wet in the sink
Model airplane, too tired to blink
Stare out the window, gasoline can
Ashes and carpet maintenance van
Brown water coating drool on the bed
Leaf blowers singing tunes to my head
Cracked shot glass cement hangover
Aluminum mouthwash whiskey takeover
Trash bag mattress, exposed wiring
Drop dead stupid, no one’s hiring
Jump out the shower, do what you can
Let me be told I’m all that I am

Ceiling Fan
06:54
|
|||
You said farewell and I watched as the ceiling fell
I don't think it's fair cuz you weren't there
My love so vicious disappeared like magicians, we all gasp in awe
But then again there never was a cause to sever all the ways between our walls
Can somebody tell me the way there is to spill me
Then there won't be no more there
If you would just let it down you might just smile and not frown
And then there would be no more care
There is no need to massacre your last regrets
Oh now we're the man that watch the ceiling fan turn around
I am so massacred for you
Sacred fountains falling, all the priests are calling for you to sacrifice you
"Sacrifice it, looks nice man, let's just get to the point
Get to the point, get to the point, get to the point yeah, get to the point"
Hope chose live your life, and give me one more great sin
Let me feel my life's been worth for something
All the pictures rotting
And the slaves are plotting out the windows in the hills
Can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me why
Can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me why
Can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me why
Tell me now, can you tell me, can you tell me, can you tell me why
Tell me now why, can you tell me now baby
Tell me, this one time, if you could, please

Innuendo gives me chills for all my days
Sophomoric devil woman knows my ways
Effervescent, hung my boots up on a nail
Ephemeral through the skies tied to a sail
Participle disciple-ing my lonesome years
Blind and hollow, corrupting the purest tears
Seraphimic waves that crash upon the rocks
Intersession, pack my soul up in a box

Overdue Rent
03:12
|
|||
Pushing brooms for a paycheck
Laying down on a box
Stomping dozens of roaches
Throwing smokes in the rocks
Pile of laundry
Making me fall
Wash the plastic spoons
Write on the wall
Smoke my quarters away
Pulling guitar strings all day
Rusted carpet by the window
Where my pet mildew grows
Sitting down on a wet sheet
Eating last night’s food
I went past your house again
You caught me out of the mood
Overgrown lawn
Junked down chairs
Crapped out radio
Drain full of hair
Climbing telephone wires
Yesterday I got fired
Playing with the bathtub cleanser
No more soap in the dispenser
Watching the fan turn around
Fall asleep on solid ground
Making mayonnaise shakes
Wake me up when I’m awake

Water Damage
04:40
|
|||
Solitude calls me by my name
Lead pipe moonbeam, jamboree decay
Sediment wasteland on the view
Faxed out life blood, torn up leaf I grew
Polychroma cracking brown wood stain
Throwrug lifestyle, trash can fashion
Incredible door stop wedged in time
Scarred and forming, cradled in a vine
|

Stacks of Boxes

Yeah, yeah, I kick up the toadstools and I don’t even think about it
If I looked at the dew I think I just might have to shout about it
My guitar pick is in my hand wrapped around my brain chokin on sand
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got a gray book telling me everything I need
And when I pull into the garden I run into the weeds
I hang my belt up on a pin stuck inside of a white wall
My calendar’s hangin on the same pin too and I don’t think I’m that tall
There ain’t no time to tell about everybody’s things but I sing
"Yeah, oh oh oh, you can tell it anyway just as long as you go, oh"
Yeah, I got a spindle for you, spinnin a record on your top hat
And when I pull out the box cutter it’s a strange new world
I murder boxes by the pound while turning the blinds down
Can you feel this?
Using receipts for bookmarks
It’s the only way to go, telling people what you know
Showin up at your own show, that’s the way and I say so
It’s mad syncopation, pluggin in pluggin out
Placin markers where they never were meant
Fluorescetize your life so you can see what I see and just let it in

Sheet Metal
03:36
|
|||
Vinyl siding falling down, ain’t no sunshine inside
Kiss my forehead when I drown, got a guitar for a bride
Self adhesive, buttoned up, slash all four of your tires
Pour my ash in plastic cups after you douse my fires
Under heels of lion men sitting outside in the moonlight
Wake me up but only when there’s purple on the stoplight
Stains and napkins, paper bags fluorescent at the depot
Interstates that call your name perishing in the haloes
No way back, scribbling on time
Evasive, scribbling on time
Scribbling on time, scribbling on time

The Wisest Fool
03:45
|
|||
Stare at old pictures casting waves of memory
And then you wonder "Where am I gonna be?"
Then you wonder "Where am I gonna be?
Yellowing with age?"
Considering yourself so sage
Can there possibly be something in this world that you don’t know
And can there possibly be something in this world that won’t show itself to you
Your mind answers to you "No, there’s not"
Even so, you know it’s false
Constructing your own walls
Is it supposed to be this way

Junkyard
06:56
|
|||
Porch lights flicker on a drippy night
A semitone zipper throwin poison light
A fishnet lip, a hardcore snail face
Pushed to the edge, incredible thumbnail
Ecstasy vine, controllable shirts
Slit tree bark collapsing on desktop warriors, yeah
Cushioned-down forest in a fog of hate
Junk town roll cart, blank cassette tape
Sick to the gills like an eel in heat
A busted brain cell cracked to the yolk
Mystery robot choke on the carpet
A cockroach spleen, a skeleton smile
Living up death in a Monroe hour
Curly wires, telephone mayonnaise
Greasing the floor for a head trip you'd never believe
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Mystical geodes, hula-hoop dance step
Woodpecker army, physics in love
Settle down moldman, leapin the doorstep
Perchin on limbs, delectable swimmin hole
Deaf as a tiger, moron in traction
Flyin to the rescue with a towel around your neck
Mass chunk sulphur butter trippin it up
A hydroform in a Dixie cup
Shoving off icebergs, bathwater milkshake
Steam dried rat, mischievous skull head
Remastered bank pen, fish breath cardboard
Unoriginality penned down to the extreme
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Considerate reptile molting down easy
Train track rail tie, master emcee
Redundant blow dry, liquefy briefly
Dry in water, underwear pileup
Traffic jam, hairspray amazing in drag
Logjam finalizing what’s always been known
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Keystroke finance, push down the window
License plate filler, ink jet sandwich
Sucking on a tooth, unclimbable floors
Penny flat rainbow, airborne soda can
Fishing for change in dirty public phones
Separate my license, drink from the gutter
Trashing your brain for a days wages clean to the bone
Lead in the ice cream, clock punching hero
Steadfast blinker, stone crap zero
Sittin on a couch with a tech IV
Speaker punchcard derby hat bingo
Printer cart shutdown, dollar an hour
Picture frame crackup leaving glass on a burnt windowsill, yeah
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit
Radar in my eyes, juiced up synthesize
That’s all there is to it, reject forced to quit

Blowtorch
04:14
|

There's a stain on the wall, there's mold in the closet
There's raw sewage leaking soaking into the carpet
Empty cigarette packs floating dead in a puddle
Plastic chandelier losin light by the weekend
The refrigerator drawing flies like raw meat
Trawling in the bathtub, catching silverfish
Cleaning fluid and purses scattered all on the floor
The vacuum bag is burning, hairspray blowtorch

Tapestry
04:44
|
|||
Hallways of light but walls dark as night
Infinity stretched, fabric is etched
Patterns of some god's mind slide on my screen
Tapestry threadbare like nothing I've seen, nothing I've seen
This can’t be all there is, no, say it ain’t so baby
Let me return to my insignificance
My existence and sleep in sweet sweet ignorance
Oh so sweet, so sweet, sweet like the apple
Oh so sweet, my ignorance, my ignorance
Just want to blank the screen the way it's always been
Bring it back to clean for me
Yeah, patterns of some god's mind slide on my screen
Tapestry threadbare like nothing I've seen
Turn to my insignificance, my existence, and sleep in sweet sweet ignorance
So sweet, so sweet
