look alive
there's 1000 ways to die
poppin THRU the channels
i now know how whales survived.
What is this note?
Is that some sort of joke?
I'd write another love song
except it would make me
emote much more than
I could comfortably cope
witH my inner child and HIS inner voice
I am a 80s child with a village voice
I'm a HIDDEN child with an INNER VOICE
SPEAKINGin denial tongues.
If a hummingbird beats it's wings
at 8 - 10 beats per second- what?
Why would you talk about your mothers' heart rate It's BPM makes your body temp go to 30 degrees below. but we all agreed not to mention me:
I believe in my record collection.
I will conceive wat you believe in
the discovery channel says spider-bites can kill
me! It's cute how the demon can cue the reasons
but just don't trip him or he'll fall in your semen
there comes a time but dont get em high
comes a time but don't get em high
the kids you mind just dont get em high
there comes a time but don't make em high
You're lost. you have no core. And I am lost
I'm a pack rat with no where to go you gotta pack up now what you don't know
I'm a pack rat with no where to go you gotta pack up now what you don't know
I'm a pack rat with no where to go you gotta pack up now what you don't know
I'm a pack rat with no where to go you gotta pack up now what you don't know
a cut and paste heart is all that you have
is that some sort of joke?
What is this note? Is that some sort of joke?
There's 1000 ways to die...

Too High
04:46
|

when I get too high, I know you're there
by my side. you took me there.
Trying times
I know you're there
but only one of us
can not get out of it
yea Ive seen you (open up I'll believe you)
you're the enemy
when I get too high
I can rely
On you to take me there
but only one of us
will remain stuck out there
and I walk through the side
I'm on the inside
la la la la inside la la laa
trying times
every day around me
and if I ever get out.
I'll write someday.
doo dahh do dah
wah wah wah
doo dah doo dah
"What is the difference between a truck full of bowling balls and a truck full of dead babies?"
"you give up?"
yes I do...
(you can't use a pitchfork to unload the bowling balls.)
Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
when I get too high
when I get too high
when I get too high
when I get too high (too high)
when I get too high (too high)
when I get too high (too high)
when I get too high (too high)
when I get too high (too high)
when I get too high (too high)
dragonflies
pick and stare
all around you fools aware
of the smoke that surrounds me
it's a burden that no one should
have to hold. . .
but I'm not over it.

MOTHERFUCKER II
I wish I knew the meaning
the meaning of it all
walking round my bedrooms
staring at the walls
Lying face up
staring at the ceiling from the view of my couch
I'm not motivated enough to go outside today to play to do anything
I know I should go and get a job
I know I should find a place to live
but I dont want to live anymore
I'm getting tired of all this
I'm getting tired of all this
I don't want to live anymore.
I'm getting tired of all this
all
all all
all all
It's a motherfucker
being here without you
thinking bout the good times
thinking bout the bad
and I won't ever be the same
and I won't ever be the same
and I won't ever be the same

MAD WEIGHT
She put on mad weight.
trying to make it in new york.
her face is as sad
like the pimples on her feet
still I would kiss her
if the chance fell on my lap. on my lap
She can sing
she can dance
after all I'm in a trance
from the nine inch nails track on the jukebox fuckup baby
tonight it dates from 89
"What is Michael Jackson
and Farah Faucet getting this"
Christmas she asked me one night
"patrick swayze" she said
If I could
I would write you a cheque
payin you to leave me alone
once- once and for all
if I were wrong
you would leave me in hell
but you're still here in your spacepants...
making me tired - you're running around in my head all day
with with your multinational billionaire corporation that's been around for a hundred years- ready to rob me blind - with you as my wife.
I'm still here
still humming your song
after all this time
Hey paper trail what's up?
can i bum a cigarette?
does my hair look gay?
well I'm not the
ex-actress with a
chip on her shoulder
at least not today.

COUNTERFEIT CASIO
I'm feeling like a counterfeit casio today
not knowing where I belong
in this thrift shop world where I can't even play a song
I'm a piece of the puzzle that just doesn't...
Another year older now
I'm in that inbetween stage...
I'm starting to lie about my age
"I cry because it feels good on my corroded batteries"
my batteries just died.
I'm feeling like a counterfeit casio
whos broken buttons are permanently pushed in.
where are
my accomplishments?
what have I shown?
who is watching me?
I am still unknown.
still there's nothing better than
being older than...
Happy fucking birthday to me
Do you like figs?

Happyt yfucking bday

happy happy fucking birtjday

happy happy happy birthday

(Another year older now
I'm in that inbetween stage
where I'm too old get get relief
yet too young to save)

POMPUS POMPADOUR
I like Television
I like punk rock
I like plugs
n things that make
up a buzz
I like grandchildren who sit on my knee
I like getting my pints of beer for free
I like Dee Dee
I like Joe
I like Chris
I like blow up my nose
one thing I now know is for sure
one thing I know for sure
is the pompus pompadore
it's the pompus pompadore
5 inches from my nose
so your voice
isnt what you want it to be
you can see
this aint my home anymore
you always procrastinate
but maybe I'm going to stay
and this is my full time job
and this is my full time job
and this is my full time job
I said this is
my full
time

the JUICEMAN + the Dreamers
No matter how much you give
it just wont be enough for the man
ask the juiceman
the juiceman
destined to be a minimum slave
i'll work my fittest years away
with the blind belief they'll be better days
but til then i'm just another sad minimum lame-o
while you slept around - I did what I can
ask the juiceman! ask the juiceman!
these doors will not open- my eyes rusted shut
can i swim out of the shit I threw up?
well i may have been snorting
but I never shot up ask the juiceman the juiceman
I scrimped and I saved and I chased the cliche
I did what I can
ask the juiceman
ask the dopeman
yea, he's my dope man
I had some money once
but it went up my nose.
"where's the cocaine?
got any cocaine?"
asks the juiceman
the juiceman

SAMSARA (I hope to be rich by the end of this song)
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
I tried to make this
thing. I tried to make it good.
I tried to do these things- the way I thought I should.
I tried to make this thing
I tried to do these things the way I thought I should
I tried to make these things
I tried to make
this aint no hallmark
this aint no shoebox
this aint no foolin around
this aint no hallmark
this aint no shoebox
this aint no foolin around
uh uh uh
anytime you go to school
you don't learn anything
you don't already know
close your eyes its gets worse
(close your eyes it's gonna get worse)
there will be more blood
on you
anything
anything anything
anything anything
anything whoa-oh
anything whoa-oh-whoa-oh
anything at all anything
anything you want is at your feet
Since I've been born i'VE had this voice,
telling me to do what I know now is wrong
since I've been born i've made the choice
to diverge from the norm
i'm a chiorboy with an ashtray heart
(telling me to do what I know now is wrong)
looking for my brand new start
i'm a chiorboy with an ashtray heart
looking for a brand new start
I'm a chiorboy
ashtray heart
looking for
a brand new
start
i'll try to do things
the way I think I should.
I'm just a kid
in a grown up shell
I'm just a man
in an upside down well. Up and up and away I go. I don't drown I prosper well.
so
it's up up up and away I go.
up up up and away i go
up up up and away i go
(Hope to be rich by the end of this song.)
