it's a blueish light that i swim in
out to sea
i go out once a day, and
come back just the same
i stay out of the way
no one knows my name
i lose myself, and
come back just the same
i see your face in the mirror
can you see me?
the lion in my eyes, he
sees me just the same, and
i stay out of the way
no one knows my name
i lose myself, and
come back just the same

Plants Fight Back

we thought some potted plants would be a good idea
we bought parsley, 'lantro, mary, mint, lavender, thyme,
and pots
water the plants
plants
plants
plants
the girl at the hardware store downtown said
this bag o' dirt is the best bag o' dirty brown
but it wasn't for pots it was garden soil and
we bought a bag o' pearlite and then ate some on the way home
plants
plants
pla...
ants!
then we were watchin' our little green babies grow when
one of them started dancing to my music so we
ripped off a couple leaves for guacamole
when we ate him we started dancin' all the plants were all screaming
plants
plants
plants
uh uh uh
it turns out they weren't dancin' they were trying to fight back
plants are evil someday they will attack

America the Delusional
02:58
|

there is no nationwide data on police shooting people in America,
one in eight workers were McDonalds employees in America,
one in four think the Sun orbits the Earth,
three billionaires are richer than the bottom halfs' worth, and
trolls on the internet think it's funny making mayhem, in
America
we gotta do better
teaching kids that Columbus was a hero in America,
locking up children of refugee mothers in
private prisons without medical care,
three of the faces on Rushmore ordered
genocide of entire tribes, and their
faces were carved by a friend of the Klan on stolen land, in
America
America
you say it's not all bad,
we got freedom of speech and a badass flag
but God forbid you use at a football game and get
threatened by a racist scumbag, in
America, America
America, we gotta do better

Nun of Your Business

why do you wear that funny dress?
who do you think you're trying to bless?
how much can you bench press?
well I'm not saying
'cause it's nun of your business
nun of yours!
have you ever been in love, or are you
saving all lovin' for the man above
have you ever smoked a cigarette, sister
I didn't mean to make you upset, but
we just wanna know
but I'm not saying
cause it's nun of your business
it's nun of yours!
I said it's nun of your business
nun nun nun of yours
do you sometimes wanna be free
from your ascetic ways
and run, run away
run...
don't you wanna be free?
well I'm not saying
'cause it's nun of your business

Dance Until the End
03:10
|

|
no one wants to go to shows in Antarctica
no one wants to go out dancing down here
no one wants to party, they say the
weather's too severe
someone needs to put these birds in gear
mother superior censors every pleasure, but
I can't help my rock 'n' roll dissent,
she doesn't want me to boogie, well I
guess I'll just repent
someone needs to rock the convent
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living without R&B
common baby, there's only one thing to do,
the world's on fire, hell's a frozen sty,
you don't need sex or drugs to feel good,
you don't need wings to fly,
common baby, dance and don't be shy
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living if it ain't got that swing
all the world has lost it's tune
tears of rage falling from the moon
the music will keep going somewhere
we'll all be there soon
dance today with no fear
you're immune
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living if the music doesn't play

Hard to Kill
02:51
|

|
I may not make it to fifty
then again, I just may, and
I don't know what I am doing
I may as well say it
that I'll never make it
not even over the hill
and I can't give you fifty when
one is so hard to kill
I'll drown in firey kisses
I'll lose a duel with myself
death is my doorway to more pain
but at least it's somewhere else
but for now I feel nothing
nothing I can describe, but I'll try
fifty times, even though
one is so hard to kill
I've done this over and over
I'm always right where I start
I still don't know what I'm doing
but everyone fakes it
so I may as well make it
yeah roll it over the hill
I'll go fifty more times
I guess I'm just hard to kill
I'll go fifty more
I guess I'm just hard to kill

go go superheros go
get the bad guys
save the bros
let's go to the picture show
see the sequel to the prequel
to the remake of the reboot
of the T.V. show, baby
I wanna see my hero
kick and punch, cause I'm a
superhero sponge
I can't wait to see muscle man
on the big screen bigger than
Big Ben's hands
in a super suit
Muscle Man is the man
I don't want any other man
I'm his biggest fan
kick and punch
when I'm with my girl
I imagine flying with you
go go superheros go
save the bros
who marvel at your stature
cast your spells
superheros go

Sister Wendy Forever
02:55

Adam is sprawled there in his naked glory
but he's not alive
all he can do is lift up a flaccid finger
and out of the clouds
whirls down the God of Power
after their night together
Mars is completely worn out
he doesn't even hear the little satyres
making noises in his ears, whereas
Venus is as cool as a cucumber
not a hair out of place
but not there for always
not wholly at home
in this beautiful material world
some picture you can come in kind of thumping
and banging on the drum and say
it's wonderful
it's wonderful
it's wonderful
but other's you have to sort of feather

clean cook and feed
for those in need
1918
but we don't need to be seen
or known in time for these deeds
beds are filling up with parade goers
we've only ever walked this city
now in streetcars and the stillness
we're never lost, we bear the cross
poor little girl trying to keep house
care for sick mother and six smaller children
father went out, drunk or crazed
he thought she was the undertaker
we made him promise, we made him promise

I go to the well where the water is sweet
the path is worn down in the grass under my feet
give it my troubles pour a pale of clear blue sky
throw my money in the hole, say, "Goodbye"
I get higher than a hippie smoking trail mix
I am lower than the Ed Fitzgerald
I'll drink the Great Lakes dry just trying to
find myself in the rye
have you ever stared into the void?
heard a song brewing up from a hole in the ground
said, "Drink up while you can, boy
because soon you'll be hell-bound"
I said, "You ain't gotta tell me, Lord,
just as sure as I'm your child
I will flood my whole world live in exile"
higher than a monkey in Sandusky
lonely as an only child
I sink down to bottom
try to leave it all behind
have you ever stared into the void?

Lyrics by Doug Haberman
The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more
The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more
The madness made his profits drop
So he had to close up shop
The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more
The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more
The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more
The rising cost of yeast was fatal
Now there’s no bread on our table
The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more
It’s harder all the time for this village to survive
Folks are losing faith that the good times will arrive
Not long ago we’d hedge our bets
Now we’re on the edge of debt
Don’t know how we’re gonna stay alive
The candlestick maker’s doing just fine
The candlestick maker’s doing just fine
Since the wicked won the night
Candles are our source of light
The candlestick maker’s doing just fine

Lyrics by Doug Haberman
V1
I’ve been dreaming at night
The world is fading
Animals dying
Plants decaying
The only way to survive
Is to prove you’ve kept your love alive
C
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
If we were the last two people on earth
I would find the last rose for you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
I would find the last rose for you
V2
As the walls tumble down
And cities crumble
Survivors are roaming
The concrete jungle
They’re looking for how to show
There’s still room for their sweet love to grow
C
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
If we were the last two people on earth
I would find the last rose for you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
I would find the last rose for you
B
I always wake up before the dream is over
And reach out to make sure you’re there
I hope you feel how deep my love is
I’ll do anything for you, I swear
C
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
If we were the last two people on earth
I would find the last rose for you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooooh ooh ooh
I would find the last rose for you

Lesbian Nuns
Lyrics by Elizabeth Petter
V1
no special friendships
stay alone or in groups
take each vow seriously
make celibacy your truth...
no eyes of desire
don’t crave physical touch
deny passionate feelings
know faith will be enough....
PC
no!.....
what about us....
the lesbian nuns
C
we’re strong loving women
surrounded by the same
we’re only human
women rock our brains
it’s driving us insane
oh....oh...
how can we abstain?
lesbian nuns
on the run
lesbian nuns
V2
no erotic musings
don’t ever sit too close
keep appearances plain
avoid revealing clothes
deny impure thoughts
never have a crush
no sexual dreams
repress any and all lust
PC
no!......
what about us....
the lesbian nuns
C
we’re strong loving women
surrounded by the same
we’re only human
women rock our brains
it’s driving us insane
oh....oh...
how can we abstain?
lesbian nuns
on the run
lesbian nuns
B
this may be just a cross to bear
this may become our calling
this may be our new habit
all we know is we’re falling
away from celibate rules
and confessional dues
run lesbian nuns
run run run
into love
PC-FINAL
yes!....
that’s about us....
former plesbian nuns
C
we’re strong loving women
surrounded by the same
we’re only human
women rock our brains
it’s driving us insane
oh....oh...
how can we abstain?

Life After Beale Street
03:38

|

we just met here in a Beal Street bar
with a neon sign shaped like a guitar
you tell me you don't dance
but it's been a weird night
you say, "I guess I'll bite"
this band is hotter than a pocket
we're dancing like two bottle rockets
look we can see the stars
they're in our eyes
the rest is just disguise
boom
when I wake up, far away
when I wake up, far away
they're playing my favorite Ƭ̵̬̊ song
and I'm floating like Neil Armstrong
I can see the stars
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
when I wake up, far away
when I wake up, far away
I'll still be dancing

When You're a Fool

I never cared for my name
but it works just the same
maybe he's the one to blame
for all this trouble
Lord knows we got trouble
when you're a fool
everybody knows it
but you
every time I wake up
it's a new day
same old me
another hotel room
toilet and a coffee machine
ooh, they'll find me here
ooh, someone will find me here
with a spike in my vein
or was it rum and cocaine
voices like I never knew
is that you?

Zoo Zoos & Wham Whams
02:58
|
|
||
|
there's one way in that holler
it's the same road out
you won't see too many pigs there
sniffin' their snouts
in our stills and our pills
and what we do in them there hills
I was just just trying to make some clams
but they caught me on the highway
now the only thing I'm sellin' is
zoo zoos and wham whams
well they threw me in a cell, said
"Boy, you go to hell"
I still had quite the shine on
and it wasn't no zinfandel
so when they kicked
I could barely feel a thing
all I saw was red
I woke up in a squad car with a
gun in my hand, said
"Thank you very much, sir, but
you can keep the
zoo zoos and wham whams"
I could hear them hound dogs gettin'
closer every minute, there was no
way in hell they'd miss me bein'
mighty unhygienic, took
one last slug of whiskey, and then they
bit me on my ass
now they got me in the slammer, a
prisoner I am
ain't got no moonshine, all they got is
zoo zoos and wham whams

When I think of you
every hurt is given rest
you put the breath back in my chest
and you make my heart beat slower
When you look at me
all the world is put to bed
you clear the fog inside my head
and you make my heart beat slower
Tell me it's alright
uncurl my fists, close my eyes
(kiss my shoulder in the dead of night
hold this space for awhile)
You invite me in
and ask without demand
you still the shaking of my hands
and you make my heart beat slower

Mars

a voice dances like a blowing reed
like a chickadee, "Hey, sweetie"
just like a river whispers
or plundering roses
wind before the storm
leaves in the snow
like bad stars
I'm yours
