Rattled by the Rush
Know that I could bend my tongue outwards
Leave you lungs hurtin', tuckin' my shirt into pants I wear so well
Cross your t's, shirt smell worse than your lying, caught my dad cryin'
Loose like the wind, from the rough we get par
Sleet city woman, waitin' to spar
Well I'm drownin' for your thirst
Drownin' for your thirst
Drownin' for your thirst
Drownin' for your thirst
Getting off the candlabra -- we call her Barbara
Breeding like larva -- she rabblerousing dental surf combat
Get out those hard hats and sing us some scat
Laid lovers gush
Chained and perfumed
I don't need a minister to call me a groom but I'm rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
 No soap in the tub
 no soap in the trunk
 no soap in the jar
 no soap in the john
 

Black Out
sunday drive past your own hall of fame
it's closed on weekdays
shut for good
pick out no one when you're talking
thoughts like rattlesnakes were walkin'
no one has a clue

the parting shots
the thin caught fault line
dancin across the frigid air shafts
the spastic rats
the criminals chat

count to ten and read until
the lights begin to bleed light
until you actually begin to see the rays
and your thoughts they start to turn and
tells you lessons that you're learnin
no one has a clue

the gauzy thoughts of the sturdy scots
wrestling with the elements up on the trail, high
I need to know, where does it go
how do I get there and what will I find

fun fun fun, fun for the summertime blues
(it's gonna set you?)
 

Brinx Job
we got the money at home
pull it out before you get the cash!
 

Grounded
Doctor's leaving for the holiday season
got crystal ice picks
no gift for the gab
and in the parking lot
is the sedan he bought
he never, no he never complains when it's hot
he phoned (fowled) his swollen duaghter in the sauna
playin contract bridge
they're soakin up the fauna, doin' blotters
I don't know which...which...
which boys are dying on these streets

I know the medical world
could knock you out
to sell the coins that you jayed last thursday
dine by candle light
and hold your savings tight
you never, you never know
when the bridge falls apart
he spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes
and the bedside morale
he traipsed around the table
talkin sentences so incomplete...plete,
please boys are dying on these streets
 

Serpentine Pad
Frequently called numbers
snorin' when you slumber
Everyone, knows you do
why won't you admit it
Screw you!
and take it off
force fed integration
from the corporation
I don't need this corporation attitude

I believe
I will never leave
your serpentine pad

darling when you wake up
better ask the grown ups
if they have posed 'em  twice
leave them and lead other lives (they leave on the lights?)
Think it might be another thing
that i would want to know but
i don't know if I should, if I could
and if I would any way

I beleive
I will never leave
your serpentine pad
 

Motion Suggests
I traced my family lines
It ends up with a widow pass and
grainy days (wave of passing grain of days)
forgetting she's away
here's the straight and narrow
rock my wheelbarrow
and it's filled with lives and the dirt and the hurt
But I won't need someone to let me be
I won't need someone to let me be
I bought the cotton threads
and the voice could sooth you(r)
captivate your senses like a ginger-ale brand (rain)
bones that (those who) got the marrow
curse the tainted pharohs
take off expect fun
you might learn how it runs
But I won't need someone to let me be
No I won't need someone to let me be
No I won't need someone to let me be
No I won't need someone to let me go, let me breathe
 

Father to a Sister of Thought
Rotten device
I'll say it twice
I'm too much, I'm too much comforted here.
Costs too much, too much will leave you
everywhere eyes, nowhere to die
no place to shove your sharpened heel
I'm lookin, lookin for a tidy (tired) face
in case you wanted to go
I know
I'm leaning in to the end

Calling the bluffs, talking so tough
Good bye to the ugly steeple of fear
Good times forever after
I'm just a man, you see who I am
I bind with my hooks and open my books
Dirty black cars
Angel of Corpus Christi
You're so misty tell me what I want to hear
I know, I'm leaning in
I know, I'm eaning in to the end.
I Know, I'll never go
I know, I'll never go
 

Extradition
The expedition had 50 goes
40 roses I need blessed
make you wait when you're way far away
(making way; way far away)
where you stay
where you play
where do you play?
Can you say what you need when you really need it?
Are you gonna feel it?
Lady I know you don't no prices (a license)
for your petty petty crime
If I should function two layer under

Around the circle luxury is so tough
so toughen up, toughen up
(I'm not tough enough)
Tonight we interact like seperate worlds
smokin barriers you hurl
saw you curl
 

Best Friends Arm
[Lotsa babbling that is open to interpretation]

Keep it under your best friends arm
 

Grave Architecture
Come on in...
Grave architecture
grave archetecture
walk the marble malls
the monuments to those who fall
and if the pocket's less then narco shelled (shelved) it
split the crypt and the others are rough
(strip the crip and the others erupt)
and the hoods so rad
and i'm fucking glad
glad to see that I know what it means
it takes a lot
grave architecture
grave architecture
Stroll past the strip
is it old?
am I clipped?
am I just a phantom waiting to be stripped around on shady ground
and the lamp shade's poised on the overwhelm
crooks they need the talent to breed
it takes a lot
(it tales a locksmith to put you off)
Ya you wanna be, like a blind fish
positive, positive
go
It takes alot  dressed baby
to put you to walls
and I'm pushing you back
I'll push you hard
it takes up/em yeaaah!?
 

AT&T
maybe someone's gonna save me
my heart is made of gravy
and the laps I swam from lunatics don't count
open up your stocking
pull out all the things you never wanted
from room service calls
room service calls

Open up your hands
and let me see the things you keep in there
I would want to split it up 50/50
that's the way we do it in this rose town
I've got all the glory in the world
I hope it doesn't floor you before you go
room service calls
In the random falls, go!

whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever
whenever, whenev-ev-ev-ev-er
I feel fine
I'm gonna walk away
from all this, all that
groovy groovy kitty
you're little little pity with your slip shag watching back
and skinny skinny people don't like that
when you call on them
spare me

spritzer on ice in new york city
isn't it a pity
you never had anything to mix with that
listen to the tender
behind the open chest in the hall
room service calls
I'm blue and green
green and blue

Whenever, whenever, whenever
when-ne-ne-ne-ne-never oh
I feel fine
I walk the plank for you
I walked the plank
I walked the plank for you
in the d-d-d-dark of the cabin center row
Jacob, Jacob Javits I'd like to thank you for everything,
primarily your glass house.
I'm workin the bone stores
Casmir Racks                 ( Guess, Levis!)
Come along lads
Join Hands
1 2 3 go!
The story it goes
and a distorted ghost

Kennel District
hold on tight
she wears the suit
it's got 4 stars in the sky
still forbidden to excuse
that little look in your eye
I was busted in my gut
that time
That time I said I know it's true
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
I cant believe she's to married to rope
I would have turned down the light
But she always marked my fear
doesn't make it all right
I wanted to stay there
But you know I needed you more than that
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask?

Pueblo
One trial down
in Spanos County
ladies always turn up
to watch them fall
and the hands
they bind you
they bind you like you want to be broken
but the land
it's comin up gold
gold and silver streaks
When you hit sand
you can buy sand
in the gross land
don't say what to make them fear
they go to get off my wrists
Jacob you move up my wrists
Jacob you move
when you move
you don't move
you don't move!
(land land ho)
Alright , I want a cigarette
All those trials and things
they try to do
While wandering over why we're insane
damn leno?
won't you ----?

Half a Canyon
Canyon bro
your life is quirked
dream about the witch trials
you get all too
lies peppered in your forecast
Beneath the shady mezzanine
keep it when you wanna be loved
July fourth
Raging fortune
dream about the witch trials
send in the romance of people with their dreadlocks
tied (timed) like windshields in the night
keep it when you wanna be loved
I keep my head on for pretty jades (?)
I keep my head up for ships and shapes
I keep my head up for richie rays (?)
I keep my head up for gitty rays
Allez! Allez! Allez! Allez! Allez! Allez!
 

Western Homes
Your western homes are locked forever
the new frontier is not that near
Magnetic screens that fold in back(ward)
will only bring you years of fear
this is what I always wanted
a new home and a place to breathe
premium congregation slender
(bring your congregation sunday)
and you will never...leave
Never see... what I want
I can't see what I want (to see)
Can't see what I want
I can't see what I want
what I want
