Chemical

I don't know how it began
but from an examined point of view
it's getting worse
I'm wasting away
Send the provisions
Don't go! Hear the ground pound
There's nothing and no one out there
Contact breaking down the walls
and deconstructing everything
Contact making me insane
Feel a little more ashamed
but it's the duty of the meek
to kiss the apple of the cheek
of each and every wicked one
underneath the blinding sun
So let the reticent unite
amidst the strain of public life
and when there's no one left to blame
it's just a chemical in the brain
So let me forgive them,
the frightfully animated heads
and interchangeable words
Imagine.
So carried away
We laugh as we raise our glasses in the air and say
"Life! Isn't it nice?
Especially in sensitive times!"
Contact breaking down the walls
and decompressing everything
Contact making me insane
Feel a little less ashamed
but it's the duty of the meek
to fuck the apple of the cheek
of each and every wicked one
underneath God's blinding sun
So let the reticent unite
to meet the strain of public life
and when there's no one left to blame
it's just a chemical in the brain
Fall
Give in
Look at yourself
Just fall in
Just open your eyes
'cause sunny is as sunny does
and life? It has no cure
Don't be alarmed, it's a chemical
Don't be alaramed
It's a chemical in the brain

Only Women Bleed

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power, mmm hmm, she got the need
Spend her life through pleasin' up her man
She cook him dinner, yeah, anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Man make your hair grey
He your life mistake
All you're really lookin' for
is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate his game
Slaps you once and awhile
and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
He lies right at you
You know you hate his game
Slaps you once and awhile
And you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
She smokes and drinks, she don't come home at all
Only women bleed

Devils and Gods
now that's an idea
but if we believe that it's they who decide
that's the ultimate detractor of crimes
'cause Devils and Gods
they are you and I
Devils and Gods
safe when inside

Rattlesnakes
04:00

Jody wears her hat although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun on account of those Rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her never born child haunts her now as she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tires too hard
She is obvious despite herself
She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She says all she needs is therapy
"All you need is love, is all you need."
Jody never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days on account of the Rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart's like crazy paving, upside down and back to front
She says "Oh, it's so hard to love when love was your great disappointment."
On account of those Rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days

Om La Boombleigh

Don't know where
but I'm sure we'll soon find out
where we're goin', I said
Don't know... reruns of Caddyshack
Om la bom la bi-de-la-day
Don't know where the Dalai Lama is today
Don't know where
My heart is running to
Before you turn around
Before you turn around
I think I'll lose...whatever
With each day now I'm tasting the snow
beneath my soul, beneath the souls of my souls
With each day now, you and me now
They... om le bombleigh
Say, don't know where that bus ride is taking me
and Johnny
and Mr. P
Hold my hand
Please, hold my hand
Om le bombleigh

Graveyard (Interlude)

Hey, I said
Don't even let this go and it's
Hey to that old man
I'm cumming in the graveyard
with my little tune
It's June
I said, he's gone but I'm alive! I'm alive!
I'm cumming in the graveyard
to sing you to sleep now

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great, great fall
and all the king's horses
and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again, well, heh
Humpty Dumpty dated Betty Louise
They stole a Sony and some camembert cheese
and she said
"Humpty, baby, take me to the river
'cause I like the way it runs"
He said "Ah, everything's going my way."
He said "Maybe it's my lucky day."
He said "Anything you want, I can give."
She said "I wanna take your picture just for me."
He said "Anything!"
She said "Get up there, baby, get on the wall babe."
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was fallin'
and all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't get Humpty together again, well, heh
Betty Louise? Hey Betty Louise?
She said "I like custard in the summer, honey."
Hey, what it takes to be queen!
