An Orgy Of Critics
Sweep the black super market!Sweep it up with your
teeth!
Put your feather in your box (Take off! take off!)Send
it off to me!
I smell oxygen, precious. Bareback on your horse, gallop
off course.
Get off (Get off! Get off!)filled with fury's force.
There's a fire in the peach pit, a blaze in the snake
pit.
You erased it but we saw you fake it.
There's blood on the good book, love in the bad brook.
Suck out all the nerve and make it yours!
"you brought me to my knees. Your art it brought me to
my knees"
You're so perfect to please us! You make all the right
noise!
Get the business clothes off (Take off! Take off!) and
strip down to your voice!
We will show you your future and choke the air from your
world.
You can be our once-twice-thrice-four times then goodbye
girl!
There's a crack in the blank stare, back in the black
raised hair. It's not fair.
I don't know who told you that but it's a lie. Believe
me. I swear I shall not deceive thee.
I don't know who sold you that but it's a fake. Remind
me.
My eyes see straight behind me. I've never killed
nobody.
I promise you're my first; you always remember your
first
Chia-Like, I Shall Grow
I’ve watched you all succeed with the highest marks in
greed
From my cave where you’re displayed like photographs
that bleed
And I took the names to their ivory membranes
I am hate, everlasting with each sickly spell I’m
casting
And discard all feelings
The stars scar my ceiling
This time I won’t spare you
Who knew I…I won’t spare you
And my pain is mine
It’s become my friend with time
Chia-like, it grows, now watch it fester for my foes.
One day I’m gonna get up rite back into the city
With my flamethrower now
You bet your life it won’t be pretty
I discard all my feelings
As the stars still scar my ceiling
I won’t spare you
Photograph, photograph, photograph, why’d you have to go
and take a picture of a life like that
You are a human now
I give up on you
Look at you
Pretty boy, funny face, down in a pond of glue
You are in human half we give up on all those like you…
Discard all feelings
The stars scar my ceiling
I won’t spare you
(We’ll kill you. I won’t kill you)
I shall grow and grow
Slowly, Through A Vector
Passing slowly though the vector
Damp with fog the bog that grows the former business
sector
With my laugh, my lonely minion
Only I can save the lives that blink within this canyon
Whoaaa
We're passing slow, passing slow. Slow, Slow
Drink the colors of the night time
If you were wrong then I was right and this will be the
right time
I‘ll display my disaffection (you brought me up, yea,
you spit me out)
Out across the city
Loud and proud in your direction
Whoaaa
We're passing slow, we're passing slow. Slow, Slow.
Whoaaa
We're passing slow, we're passing slow. Slow, Slow.
When I get to your apartment I climb the rail outside
the building
A band of them were in your apartment
They tied you up unwound, unwilling
I watch them cut, watch them touch, watch them do what
they came to do
And in I come to lick it up
Clean up what is left of you
Ha ha ha show me what you got
The Writhering South
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ok
Searching for blood in the salty sea
The sun beating down on the chest in back of me
Looking for drugs in a southern town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I’ve got this red right hand that points me south
The puke green clouds just spat me out into the hot, hot
lands.
I landed with no shoes.
I hear
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me, hey"
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
Alright we're gonna do it again for ya now. Okay
YEAH....OH YEAH....YEAH!
They've got the army of ears; they can’t hear you now
I got the piss in my veins in these furrowed brows
You've got this one last change to burn me, turn me down
If not I’ve got these last 12 bucks to spend on you
You can take me anywhere your sick mind wants to
Use yourself to fuel me using you
I hear
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me, hey"
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
I hear
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me, hey"
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you
writhe again soon.
I hope to watch you writhe again soon.
Woe
All the words in my mouth that the scene deemed unworthy
of letting out banded together
To form a makeshift militia and burrowed bloodily
through my tongue and my teeth.
I stood proud in the gallery with my open socket of a
mouth for them to see.
They all just laughed and said "That boy , he, that
boy's got woe.(woe.) He lives with woe.(woe.)"
And this girl who I met whose pride makes her hard to
forget,
She took pity on me (horizontally) but most likely
because of my band.(hey)
It's all I can get when I'm lonely and these visions of
death seem to own me
In the quiet of the classrooms all across the stacked
United States of Woe. We live with woe.
She said "I can't get laid in this town without these
pointy fucking shoes.
My feet are so black and blue and so are you."
Please take me out of my body up through the palm trees
to smell California in sweet hypocrisy.
Floating. My senses surround my body. I wake my nose to
smell that ocean burn.
So now I'm forging ahead past all the plutocrats who
sold me out.
Go sob in your bed. If life is twice as pretty once your
dead then send me a card.
I'm still the optimist though it is hard when all you
want to be is in a dream.
Yellow Cat / Red Cat
I watch my yellow cat invade my red cat in the yard.
The feline war has raged for years so I assume
it’d be to hard for me to drive my foot between them.
I would never risk the scratch
just to prove to one or both of them a cat is just a
cat.
Again, I watch my cousin Greg watch MTV inside his home.
He makes fun of the Hip-hop videos from the couch he
rides alone.
Snug in the cushion of his cackling he forgets his
looming doubts.
He has relied on this for years; you will not yank the
carpet out.
No, no.
These are my friends. This is who they have been
for always.
These are my days. This is how they stay.
I watch this dude each night, same table, who creates
and crumples up.
His eyes are wide from sipping endlessly his endless
coffee cup.
He feeds me quotes, that lonely goat.
I watch him grazing by himself I will not stop him when
he rambles;
I’m becoming one myself.
Lou is bugged and shot up with drugs.
He sweats this bird he hardly knows.
All that he wants is to see someone he respects without
their clothes
so like some hybrid mother/lover she’d soothe and heal
his wounds and kiss
those dying ears so softly that the reaper stops to
swoon. No please.
These are my friends. This is who they have been
for always.
These are my days. This is how they stay.
These are my friends. This is how we stay.
I watch my yellow cat...hey,hey
I watch my yellow cat...
I watch my yellow cat...hey, hey
I watch my yellow cat...
I watch my neighbor’s son play with his shotgun in the
street.
I think I’ll blaze all day and marvel at the mass of
food I eat.
It’s strange; I’m skinny when I’m standing but I’m
Buddha when I sit,
and if I’m truly so enlightened why’d I waste your time
on it
as I look back at countless crossroads and the middle
where I stay,
right up the beaten path to boredom where the fakest
fucks get laid
by the faux-finest finds It’s been that way and god damn
you,
how you stay, with every scummy, crummy hour of the
scummy, crummy day.
A Boston Peace
Can you tell me
Were you a bird in another life
Cause you flew away so quickly and with so much ease
Flapping your wings as you spread your beak to sing
Another hopeless lonely anthem
You know I'm feeling down again
I couldn't make my move
I froze in place
But so what else is new
I wish I could shed all your feathers from my head
Because all they do is keep me stifled when I only want to tell you right now
Tear your clothes off with my teeth like some unruly uncaged beast
From your forehead to your feet
I need to feel the Boston peace
Drug like release
The sheets engulfing you
Know that I need you I want you I'm dying for you
Here in my heart where my veins are combusting for you
All that I've learned I I'm learning I'm falling for you now
For you now
Watch me sinking slowly into nothing
Nothing matters
Give me some limb I can hold onto
Only you can save me
A Walk Through Hell
And if I could swim, I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
Swim out to where you were floating in the dark.
And if I was blessed, I'd walk on the water you're breathing,
To lend you some air for that heaving sunken chest.
'Cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
With your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine.
And they hunt you, and they gut you, and you give in..
And if I was brave, I'd climb up to you on the mountain,
They led you to drink from their fountain, spouting lies.
And I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned
To steer me away from my mission to your eyes.
And I'd stand there, like a soldier, with my foot upon his chest,
With my grin spread, and my arms out, in my bloodstained Sunday's best,
And you'd hold me, and remind you who you are.. under their shell...
(chorus)
I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes
These soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue;
My soul is useless without you...
And if they send a whirlwind, I'd hug it like a harmless little tree
Or an earthquake, I'd calm it, and I'd bring you back to me,
And I'd hold you in my weak arms like a first born
I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue
My soul is usless without you..
(through hell for you)
(through hell for you)
Without you, without you...
(through hell for you)
Without you
(through hell for you)
Now I've walked through hell for you
What's an adventurer to do,
But rest these feet at home with you?
Admit It
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
That vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn?t read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges (bullshit)
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, you?re so post-modern
You?re diving face forward into a antiquated path
It?s disgusting, its offensive don?t stick your nose up at me
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other forever competing for that one moment of self aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh we?re not worthy when you walk by a group of quote unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And it makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
Cause I?m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I?ve become
You?re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar
Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I?ve become
You?re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah
Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe that it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety
You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, you?re living a lie (yeah) living a lie (yeah) your life is living a lie
You don?t impress me (admit it)
You don?t intimidate me (admit it)
Why don?t you bow down, get on the ground, walk this fucking plank
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah
I?m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I?ve become
You?re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, guitar go!
I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah
I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah oh
And I am done with this
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city
My car and my guitar
So you come to me, made of these, urgent unfulfilled
Oh no no no no no
I have when I'm dead I'll rest
But that's away still
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest
Alive With The Glory Of Love
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh ahhhh...
When i watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing, ya...
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view...OH ya...
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows, but we ignore that..ya..
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, i won't let you down, OH NO..noo
No, I wont let them take you, wont let them take you,
Hell no no, oh no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you,
Hell no no

And when our city, vast and shitty, falls to the axis, ya...
They'll search our buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings..Oh ya..
But Miss Black Eyeliner, You'd look finer, with each day in hiding, oh ya..
Beneath the wormwood, oooh love me so good, they won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say noo I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
(Alive, Alive, Alive with glory alive with glory)
Hell no no, whoa no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you, hell no no
Now Treblinkah is alive with the glory of love
Treblinkah alive with glory of love yea
(Okay, speed it up now)
Should they catch us, and dispatch us to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time, oh ya..
Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, ya..
I'll know my purpose, this war was worth it, i won't let you down
no i wont no i wont no i wont (alive) (alive with love, alive with love)
Hell no no, whoa no, i wont let them take you, wont let them take you
Hell no no....no, no,
Belt
I wouldn't sell my belt to industry
so they carded me and they carted me off
naked with that belt around my waist
it was my father's once, I still see his face
I say woah oh oh, they carted me off
I say woah oh oh oh oh, they carded me
But I managed to escape the good gendarme
I fled through field and farm stripped of natural charm
naked but that belt I wear so well
Past the pyramids and the liberty bell
I say woah oh oh, they carted me off
I say woah oh oh oh oh, they carded me
Hey, this is something I have to do for myself
yeah, this is something I have to do for myself
I have to for myself, I have to for myself (yeah, yeah)
I ignored the sheep and shepards on my way
what can their small words say when they say them that way
Bathed in sweat, feathered as a crow
I laid a beating on the sleet and snow with my frostbitten toes
I remained unrecongized in my hometown
beneath my monstrous gown of feather and down
but I gathered up an army made of those
who aimed to shake them from their repose
and we took up weapons yeah
and we took off our clothes
and we took up weapons yeah
and we took off our....
hey, this is something I have to do for myself
yeah, this is something I have to do for myself
I have to for myself, I have to for myself (yeah)
so what say you and all your friends
meet all of my friends in the alley tonight
what say you and all your friends
step up to my friends in the alley tonight
yeah what say you andall your friends
meet all of my friends in the alley tonight
what say you and all your friends
step up to my friends in the alley tonight
yeahhhhhhhh
Colorblind
Here comes the sadness that I miss so much
That lonely aching comes from every touch
I've grown accustomed to the grays and blacks
Because they're always coming back
Coming back
Sit down for supper, won't you dine with me
Or can't you handle seeing all I see
I've grown to colorblind to cease my bitching
And I've grown to love the pain
...
And I move too slow
and I think too fast
and the first rainbow
I see will be the last.
...
Here comes a view I've seen a million times
Here comes a boring song with thoughtless rhymes
I know you're sick of me so tell me here
Because you could have been the one
To make it all disappear.
...
But I move too slow
and I think too fast
and the first rainbow
I see will be the last.
Too slow
and I think too fast
and the first rainbow
I see will be the last
One , two, three, four...
But I move too slow
and I think too fast
and the first rainbow
I see will be the last.
Too slow
and I think too fast
and the first rainbow
I feel will be the last (2x)
It will be the last...
Every Man Has A Molly
Here I am
Laid bare at the end of my rope
I've lost all hope so long
Molly Connelly just broke up with me
Over the revealing nature of the songs
You goddamned kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend
'Cause for you
I won't ever have rough sex with Molly Connelly again
Here I am
Laid down at the end of my rope
Wishing I had not been born
Now I've spewed too much
I can never shut it up
I thought you should be warned
I implied black skies took a needle to my eye
Sucked out all its glow Whoaoh
Molly Connelly ruined my life
I thought the world should know Ho!
I can't stop thinkin bout what she did wrong to me
I can't stop thinkin bout what I did wrong
I kill myself thinkin bout things that you do to me
Molly Connelly
I can't stop thinkin bout what she did wrong to me
I can't stop thinkin bout what I did wrong
I kill myself thinkin bout things that you do to me
Molly Connelly
I Want To Know Your Plans
I want to know your plans
And how involved in them I am
When I go to sleep for good
Will I be forgiven?
And if you want roses
You can go buy a bouquet
If that just won't cut it
Well, what can I say?
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they poured out to paper
It's all for you
Cause that's what you do
That's what you do
I want to know your fear
From your feet to the back of your ears
When they raise the landing gear
Will your heart stay here?
If you could forgive me
For being so brash
Well you could hit me or whip me
I'd savor each lash
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they poured out to paper
It's all for you
Cause that's what you do
No more fighting
This is only a waste of our time
Cause soon we'll be leaving
Will the strength still be mine?
I'll look out for you till I die, till I rot
Oh, I'll remember you, till I die, till I rot
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they poured out to paper
It's all for you
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they poured out to paper
It's all for you
Cause that's what you do
Rats
I'm starting to notice all of these tails on people I know
And they weren't there over an hour ago
My ears are ringing with the sound of squeaking
And I swear I may be the very last man on earth
I smell a rat
I smell a slew of them
Skittering around the ceiling and the ground
And its not myself
So it must be everybody else
I smell a rat
Board the doors, I'm staying in tonight
Won't give in, give up, without a fight
Pick up an axe
Its time to fight for my life
I've got no one to come home to
Spidersong
No more promises. I have made them before and broken them.
Give me the go-ahead and I'll undress myself for you, if you're at all interested.
Now I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider. I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider. Crawl inside her.. I'm the hey!
Oh I know your pain. You, like, I plagued by the flies inside your brain.
I'm creeping up your veins. Are you smart enough and small enough to play this game?
I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider. I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider. Crawl inside her. I'm the whoaaa
I better watch my back around you. You've got the moves the shoes, the 'do-
you've got me and I want you to know I want to.
You've got those tired eyes all the time,(x3)
Yeah you need someone to bring you to bed.
Now I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider. I'm growing legs, I'm the spider, I'm the spider.
I am cold, too cool to call you, far too stoned to leave my bed.
I'll write this song to win your kiss but stay asleep instead.
The Futile
Shit!
Nothing makes sense
so I won't think about it.
I'll go with the ignorance.
Eat, sleep, fuck and flee;
in four words, that's me.
I am full of indifference.
What do they old people teach us but how to die (die) die (die)
and what do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry?
The futile (the futile) it outweighs the beautiful
Futile (the futile) it outweighs the beautiful
Futile (the futile) the futile so futile the futile
Taste!
I have no taste.
I don't like these tiny portions or your artful abortions of sound,
sealed with a kiss and slathered in the sauce sarcastic.
So go choke on your irony.
What do they old people teach us but how to die (die) die (die)
and what do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry?
The futile (the futile) it outweighs the beautiful
Futile (the futile) it outweighs the beautiful
Futile (the futile) the futile so
I'm eating rat poison for dinner
Pull the cord from the phone
I am dining alone tonight
Rat poison for dinner
Pull the cord from the phone
i am dining alone
so goodnight
I shall not love, yet I'll still sing about it.
Hope it covers the ocean in slime,
the drama and drool.
I'm leaking the blood of a fool.
(I'm full of it, I'm full of it, I'm full.)
Rat posion for dinner
Pull the cord from the phone
I am dining alone, tonight
Rat poison for dinner
Pull the cord from the phone
i am dining alone tonight-
Oh i am dining alone..tonight
Tonight, tonight, oh yeah
