wake, it's morning
freight train is the rooster warning
brake for children
corpse struck bus driver's employment
workers head down to the plant
church letting out at eleven
meth mouths to feed, dead to bury
this is hell
god above me
bless jim beam and wal-mart holy
teddy bundy
reincarnate cute and cuddly
he could be one of my friends
truckin' around the blue ridge bends
but top of the mountain's quite a view
demons are buzzing inside ears
screaming, "hey did you miss us, dear?"
but damn if that mountain ain't a view
still here, I hate it
swallow me, o beast of pavement
chickened out, then
sucked my gut, went out for breakfast time

Holographic Jesus

i don't want the holographic jesus christ
jesus christ
winkin' when I tilt my head just to the right
to the right
on easter morning
call me when the guilt kicks in on easter morning
and suffering is innocence to me
my medicine is not to hear you speak
your voice reminds me of my grave misdeeds
jesus christ
he is ris'n, he forgives, i've misbehaved
misbehaved
he was hangin in the kitchen when I caved
when I caved
on easter morning
call me when the guilt kicks in on easter morning
and suffering is innocence to me
my medicine is not to hear you speak
your voice reminds me of my grave misdeeds
jesus christ
jesus christ

Trash

california and its smog could be good for you
filling your lungs with engine residue
then you would know there's scum that's worse than me
for labor day i wanted a pair of breasts
when you moved out the living room became a mess
the furniture was stained with smoke and ash
you took out everything except the trash
woah, i thought i was better than this (x3)
woah, i thought i was better than helping myself to your pain
helping myself to your pain
if i knew your dad died i would have shut my mouth
expensive jewelry is not what it's about
(and apologies will never be enough)
woah, i thought i was better than this (x7)
woah, i thought i was better than helping myself to your pain
helping myself to your pain
baby can i have another plate? (x3)

Shenandoah

shenandoah, you're so bad for me
cooking rabbits and amphetamines
who knew i would get so lazy running marathons on my TV,
doc's office got soda machines
you can't hit the mark
tell me my goddamn name
i squint, you make it sound so strange
all the letters sound rearranged,
you got it right
shenandoah went and ruined me
suffocating, but the air is clean
all the corn maze walls are closing in, been swimming round a petri dish,
no help, just toothless grins
you can't hit the mark
tell me my goddamn name
i squint, you make it sound so strange
all the letters sound rearranged,
you got it right
tell me my goddamn name (x4)
you got it right

Tuesday

hey how are you
perennial bruise
a useless joke, petty news
so much to ask for
and so much to lose
truck drivers wave
american hate
my basement's caving, no wait
be radio static
every breath's a waste
muffled call, can't understand her
easier not to get answers
what's new these days?
gibberish, ad nauseum
i still stargaze
misery, etcetera
the breeze, the waves
when I'm talking to myself, you're still the same

Painkillers
01:56
|
|||
|
no one kisses like you percoset
and other words i shouldn't know just yet
vegetable, useless
acidic juices
zombified, nothing
so this is how it ends
will you marry me to my bed?
up and hitched, invite none of my friends?
vegetable, useless
acidic juices
zombified, nothing
so this is how it ends
so this is how it ends
how it ends

my body is a traitor to the core
reaper gets a new address then moves next door
dress looks nice, too bad i'm poor,
meds don't come very cheap
but they still pay for waiting room magazines
magazines (x4)
bedridden, wish i was bedrode
my body started funny, then got mean
doesn't like most citrus fruits or leafy greens
might be best to take the week
kill the cooties that still haven't left
they said they went away, but now it's where they hidin' next
hidin' next (x4)
bedridden, wish i was bedrode
when you gonna slow down, floor it on the brake?
when you gonna touch down, quarterback delayed?

What Do You Want?
05:08
|
|||
|
flaws make us more alike, i wish they didn't (x2)
then i would be less generous
forgiving everybody
somebody's gotta be ugly in this world
this week i found the one until next week (x2)
what is it you really want?
will you care when you have it?
and justify your actions when you don't?
clear skies, they never stay clear skies, they turn to a fog (x4)
what is it you really want?

Heavy

i like it still heavy
i liked it when you were slow
i liked it when you were hot shit
i liked it that you didn't know
and now i'm all ready
i feel i'm all fit to go
i only wanna be hot shit
tell me do i fit the mold?
and i ain't even grown
i could get stoned with you
am i really on my own?
i thought i was just having fun
i like it still heavy
and i ain't even grown
i could get stoned with you
am i really on my own?
i thought i was just having fun
i like it still heavy
