ROSE: she gave me a stuffed animal named “Corky”…she always had a potato with dinner, Rose, I wore your wig today, Rose I hope your soul’s o.k., Rose, your son is my father…he gave up violin to play guitar, you brought him groceries when he lived in a van.

STRANGER THAN A DREAM: stranger than a dream, bee hive…little girl’s birthday eyes…stranger than I seem, you’ll find…little boys wearing ties, i'm in an old man’s shoes now where do I go in them? I got an old man’s blues now what do I do with them? Because it’s stranger than a dream, field mice (a sun through blinds) I talk to you to stay alive. Stranger than it seems sometimes (a sun through blinds) I think of you to ease my mind. I’m in an old man’s shoes now where do I go in them? I got an old man’s blues now what do I do with them? Everything looks so clear to me only when I look through broken everything looks so clear to me only when I look through broken glass she asked, “what chance do I have in this world? She asked, “what chance do I have in this world”, she asked, “what chance do I have in this world? It’s gone mad!” I said “just blow out hell and make a wish…well, you asked!” I said, “just blow out hell and make a wish“…”god, what chance do I have in this world?”…”just blow out hell and make a wish!”…”huh?”…”well, you asked!”

WIG PINS: Wig pins. The catalog goes gold again. They got your picture on the side of a bus. Boy, you really wrote a chart we can trust. Wig pins. If you do it I’ll be your best friend. They got your music on the radio now. Boy, you really wrote some stuff that astounds.i piss my pants. I piss my pants. I piss my pants. Etc. I shit my pants. I shit my pants. I shit my pants. Etc. (repeat top) I set the king’s daughter’s wedding on fire and pulled out my eyes with some needle nose… One day you will have kids of your own. Don’t pet dogs when they’re chewing a bone. Saw a car that said “wash me” and cried. To this day I have no idea why. Good magicians will never divulge how they do all those tricks that you love. We do not always have to agree. Amadeus is searching the couch for wig pins.

CLEANING THE POOL: I hate to bust your balloon, but you eat soup with a spoon. I wrote a check to the wishing well. It must have bounced cause my farts still smell. You got a gun to my head. I better do what you said. Only the tip of the ice machine. I gotta go get my choppers cleaned. End of scene. Like the apple of Eden taken down. Put the camels in sauna rooms for now. I have a place in your heart. A cardboard box full of darts. I got a mind like a suction cup. That doesn’t mean you should stick me up. What the f**k. (repeat chorus). The bowling league eats nachos. End of scene.

HEART WORMS: Cause when I get like this sometimes, I don’t remember where the world is. With an umbrella on my feet, I’m in the rain, praying for lightning…and you’ve got crumbs upon your shirt, from giant pot cookies you snack on. They bed you down in dreams of doves that angels train to talk in street slang. Heartworms catch the dreams too small to keep. You toss them back into the ocean world so blue. They never think of you, guitarist on the roof. You stew in 100 proof, your strings go out of tune from the heat. Cause when I get like this sometimes, I want to kick all of the walls down (kick ‘em f***in’ down). With this desire in my heart, I’m drenched in tears playing in traffic.

SANTY CLAUS WON'T BRING YOU KOALAS: Santy Claus won’t bring you koalas. I already asked and he said no way. Santy claus won’t bring you koalas. That’s the only present he can’t obtain. I know that you want one. You just gotta have it. To pet it would be fun. But, don’t waste your breath kid. Cause Santy Claus won’t bring you koalas. Why don’t you just get a skate board instead. Santy Claus won’t bring you koalas. There aint really much else that can be said. I know that you want one. You just gotta have it. To pet it would be fun. But don’t waste your breath kid. (repeat top)

SHADOW ON THE SEA: The town is flooded with a festival today. They’re towing cars , you gotta park where it’s okay. I found a spot along the beach where it’s free. I took a seat and saw a shadow on the sea. A bum is fishing next to me. I saw him in a documentary. His pipe is full of skunky weed and he’s got dogs around his feet. He said his kid was a computer engineer (with 2 cars and 3 yards) All the emotion on his face started to smear (with 2 tears and 3 beers) He pulled a splinted from his old tattered thumb and he burned it on up with a match from a restaurant. He said the waitress lets him take all that he wants (close the cover and strike em fast). I had to leave and said goodbye. He said he would see me around some time. But then I heard that he had died. They came to get him in the night. Reservation. - 1 for a new life. (Repeat) Yeah, lord a new life. But I remember when he was a hobo fishing next me. He had his shadow on the sea.

WHAT MAKES A MAN CLIMB A ROCK?: What makes a man climb a rock? What makes a man want to talk about kabuki? What makes a bird want to squak? What makes a man want to listen to a cookie? How the hell should I know. You can’t shock an eel with language. How the hell does it go? I need ginka on balboa again. Friends until the end of the shoot. Don’t play cute. What makes a man climb a rock? What makes a man climb a rock? What makes a man want to shake what mama gave him? What makes a key want to lock? What makes a man have a kid and never name him? What makes a man climb a rock. I don’t know.

MACHINE GUN: i found a spa-ghetti dinner on a holiday...we will never forget him.
machine gun...i got a d**k like one,machine gun.
ferns are a wonderful plant,they're just perfect for bathrooms.

A QUESTION TO ALL OF MY ANSWERS: Turned on the cold but the hot came out. Balancing beams did a flip stuck the mount. Got a round of applause and found it aint that great. It’s a therapy couch, answering machine, with a kid in the back cryin loud, playing cat and mouse. Come on spit it out. I aint got all day. I got a body to burn. Another soul flew away. The power’s been knocked out. So I’m sitting here in the dark. I couldn’t find a place to park a question to all of my answers. Porcupine shoes what I wore in those days. Couldn’t hit my ass with both hands as they say. That’s the way that it goes I guess. When you get a break but you aint ready yet. When you write a song but it doesn’t have a head. And you just can’t get out of it. Come on spit it out. I aint got all day. I gotta go for a swim in the pirrhana tank. There’s no way around it. So I’m shifting down into first. Doc, is this gonna hurt? What’s the question to all of my answers?

WASHING CUPS: the clock fell off the little bitty bedroom wall,i'm glad it did cause the new year just began,my heart's so young,i wish i would have thought of that five years ago before the day of tests,i started washing cups to keep myself clean,i started washing cups to beat the odds,i started washing cups to weigh my options,i started washing cups to have some fun...the phantom pain is weeding through the his and her guns,rose of life,the bee is your best friend,i drained my blood,i wanted to see phones exploited,try the pies that granny made by hand (repeat chorus) (solo) i started washing cups to have some fun today.

HUM DRUM: Hum drum, you’ve taken such a big step. You’ve opened up a new world. It’s gonna be so much fun. Crumb bum., you’re gonna hit the big time. You owe it to the tribesmen who cut off all the lion’s skin to make the rhythm move. Dance around the jungle moon. Fire and a wild desire, what a great way to spend the evening time. Hum drum, you never felt the success and maybe that was for the best. You never would have changed our lives. Tum scum, the river of dead snake skin. I fished it with the natives. It’s all there in my post card chicken-scratch. They made the rhythm move. Dance around the jungle moon. Fire and a wild desire, what a great way to spend the evening time. We gotta move. Roaches made their home in my shoes. Maybe we could stay at your mothers till we get back up on our bleeding feet. Learning ‘bout the history of music. There’s so much to dig into. It’s gonna blow your mind out. It’s gonna free your id up so we can talk about stuff, like the history of music

TRANS FAT (instrumental)

WHITE CAT MIDNIGHT: meow, meow…that is the sound that comes out from the mouth of my…meow, meow, he is my pal…the eyes he has are green as moss…meow, meow, I just say, “wow, we're all in for a big surprise”…now that It’s summer I’m wearing a coat, now that it’s winter I eat root-beer floats, now that I’m wealthy I live in my car (white cat midnight) now that I’m poor I go out to a store, now that I’m impotent I want a whore, now that I got no key I lock the door (white cat midnight)…meow, meow, put ‘er there pal…we both are here with dirty hair…meow, meow, won’t bug ya now, I see you’re busy with your fleas (repeat chorus) meow, meow, go away now…I need to think in peace I’m down…but now, but now…what is that sound? The trains going to other towns.

HORSES DOZE ON THEIR TOES: Vulchers vomit on the graveyard. Mountain men go looking for some gold to piss away. Strippers over flow in mirrors breaking out their best moves. Church thieves ring them bells, guess it’s just as well. Dragon fire dwells where time never tells. Sweat out mind’s eye spells, clean the shi**y smell. Horses doze on their toes. Pigeons gobble up attention. Surfer Joe has wiped out where the dead seals bake in flies. Paper thinking cap on fire, bio-hazard babies…Vulchers vomit on the graveyard!

RED CIRCLE: Red circle, red circle, sitting in the red circle, sitting in the circle of red. Red circle, red circle, meeting in the red circle, meeting in the circle of red. Only for a minute, it was only for a minute, but we met inside the circle of red. Sea cages, sea cages, sitting in the sea cages, keep all of the sharks from your head. Big changes, big changes, keep on making big changes, only way to get out of bed. Only for a minute, it was only for a minute, but we met inside the circle of red.

ROBBING DOCKS: Shirt reptile crawling off needs to take a piss in trough. Daytime TV therapy. Go ahead guys don’t mind me. I need to break the lock. Ham got hocked. Robbing docks. Robbing docks. Roaches rule this coach at night. Hide as soon as it gets light. Commercial for cheese stained meat. go ahead guys don’t mind me. I need to break the lock. Ham got hocked. Robbing docks. Robbing docks. LOCKED. Ham got hocked. Robbing docks. Stay where you are you’re under arrest. Stay where you are you’re under arrest. Stay where you are you’re under arrest. You’re under arrest. Low and behold were looking for gold. Out in the cold, if they may be so bold. Downloaded maps just led em to a trap. Piled up high with pounds of bull crap. They didn’t live too long after that. They were lunch for the rats. It makes me kind of sad. Low and Behold never found one piece of gold. Low and Behold should have kept their asses home. Low and Behold never got to hear this poem. They got ate by the rats in a pile of bull crap. Ha ha ha. (the devils lunch) You’re under arrest. Stay where you are.

PARK AND RIDE: you left your home and threw away the memories that made you feel unwanted. you sat your depressed body down there were so many things going on in your head. cause you know that there's gonna come a time, when you're waiting in the morning at the park and ride. you counted all the change you had lying at the bottom of your duffel bag and walked off. heading towards the liquor store, to buy a couple cans of colt 45. cause you know that there's gonna come a time, when you're waiting in the morning at the park and ride. going down a darkend street past the fosters freeze you saw her standing by a sex arcade you wanted her to be your private dancer ...
