Lyrics


1. TOY BOX

Eyes to sun, she lays in peace
Eyes bear complacence
Brown, the meadow grows tall to the sun
Seasons have come, they have gone

Buried in dirt, her torso lays
One limb dangles
Brown, the meadow grows tall to the sun
Seasons have come, they have gone

Please take me back to my healing home
Please take me back to my toy box
Ours not for their own

Please take me back to my healing home
Please take me back to my toy box
Please take me back to my little girl's hand
Please take me back to my toy box


2. HERETIC

Heretic, burn at the stake
Witch, float like a log

Wine from the blade on the night, night of the full moon
Voices that call spirits in waiting
Sharing the drink of the bond
A broth of roots and charms
Spells under the twisted tree

Heretic, burn at the cross
Witch, float like a log

Flask over fire amongst cobwebs of cellars
Mixture that turns metal into gold
Bring life to the dying
Secret till the last words are told

Accused and convicted
For nothing I suffer your fear
Nailed to a burning cross
Heretic, heretic

From life to death
You've been good
As for the past
Time will tell


3. COME TOGETHER

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking cuz he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me


4. FRESH DEADLY ROSES

I'd cry enough rain
To wash your garden away
But I'm dry as stone
So your trees wash awy like veins
But I've been known to
Take a blow and I know
How fair your garden grows
With fresh deadly roses
Fresh deadly roses

You laid all your lillies on the grave
Of all the lonely
Soldiers you left battle-torn
You cut their pride
On your concertina that surrounds
Your dying leaves and your
Fresh deadly roses
Fresh deadly roses

Now I know just how it feels
To see my love congeal
Under your razor heel and your
Fresh deadly roses you gave me
Fresh deadly roses
You gave me the birds in your trees
Buzzing around your disease
And leaves growling blood hungry leeches
And your fresh deadly roses

One two three four
More thorns in my side
Each little wound
Is getting harder to hide
Each little thorn is getting
Hard to swallow
I'd love to make you
Mine to break your
Fresh deadly roses
You gave me fresh deadly roses


5. INTO THE VOID

How can you buy or sell the sky
Or the warmth of the land it's strange to us
We don't own the freshness of the air
Or the sparkle of the water
How can you buy them from us
The white man doesn't understand our ways
For he's a stranger who comes in the night
And takes from the land just what he needs

Oh yeah

He treats his brothers like his enemies
When it's completed he moves on
He leaves his father's grave and his birthright
His birthright is forgotten
The air is precious to the red man
For all things share the same breath
The white man won't notice the air he breathes
Like a man dying for many days

All right now

The whites must treat the beasts of his land
As his brothers not his enemies
Tell me what is man without the beasts
I'll bet he will die of loneliness

One thing we know that the white man will
We know our god is the same god
You may think you wish to own him
Own him as you wish to own our land
But he is the body of man
And the earth is precious to him
Continue to contaminate your bed
And you will suffocate in your waste


6. GIRL YOU WANT

Swings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above

She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

You can hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
The words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it along

She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

[Chorus]
Look at you, your mouth watering
Look at you your mind spinning
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just a girl you want

She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

She swings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above

She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

[Chorus]

She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want


7. STRAY CAT BLUES

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime

Ya I can see that you're just fifteen years old
But I don't want your I.D.
Ya I can see that you're so far from home
This ain't no hanging matter,
No it ain't no capital crime

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat

I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back

You like to get yourself those from home
But I know you miss your mother
You look so scared out of my man made bed
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime

[Chorus]

I bet your momma never heard you spit like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back

I see your girlfriend and she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
She's wild enough that she can join in too
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime

[Chorus]

I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
I bet your momma never saw you
I bet your momma never heard you spit like that

I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you you scratch like that
Oh yeah, Oh yeah


8. SHE'S A POLITICIAN

A broken mirror and razor blade
She's a politician
Hot headed all the time
She's a politician

She doesn't misaccuse
She doesn't misabuse
She don't listen, even if she doesn't know what she's saying
She's a politician

And when it comes to blows
She'll get you on the ropes
She's got you beat, you can tell by the company she keeps
She's a politician

A broken mirror and razor blade
She's a politician
Hot headed all the time
She's a politician

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

She's got you all confused
With her machine gun talk
She won't give it cause she knows she's got a lot


9. COLD BITCH

Yeah
On your breast
I might lay my crowded head
In your light
I might bathe in cold burnt sweat
In your mouth
I might feel the serpent's kiss
In you womb
I might swim in fetal bliss

But in your heart
I'd freeze

In your eyes
I might be your saving grace
In your head
I might say it through your eyes
In your lungs
I might stare between you

But in your heart I'd freeze

I would feed your heart
Take a vow of silence
And put your love out of business

But in your heart
I'd freeze


10. SHOW ME

Yeah, I woke up in a burning house
I had my feet tied down to the floor
I looked outside the window
There's gonna view a July storm

Show me, show me, show me the gold
Show me, show me, show me the gold

Well that boy always said:
"There'll be times when you're flat on the bottom"
That boy wound up dead
When his girlfriend's Daddy shot him

Show me, show me, show me the gold
Show me, show me, show me the gold
Show me all the gold
Show me all the gold

When the leaves fell from the tree
Well that's the straw that broke the camel's back
Yeah while my Daddy threw his cup in the river, baby
That was enough to break the damn

Show me, show me all the gold
Show me, show me the gold
Show me all the gold
Show me, show me the gold


11. TOUCH ME

In the night
In the city
Alone in my room
Ooh wall to wall

[Chorus]
Touch me, can you feel it
Touch me, it feels good
Touch me, yah I can feel it
(I got the feelin')
Touch me

Couldn't get to sleep in my room last night
Somethin' isn't quite the same
Just as I was reaching for the nearest light
I heard somebody calling my name

[Chorus]

Oh yeah
All right now

Shivers down my backbone 'cause my man is back
And my pulse began to race
Oh when she layed beside me everything went black
'Cause I've seen the strangest things

[Chorus]


12. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU

(No lyrics available)


13. CAN YOU SEE ME

Can you see me?
I'm singing this song to you
Can you see me baby?
I'm singing this song to you, yeah
If you can see that you can
See in the future for a thousand years

Well can you see me?
I'm flossing my teeth for you, yeah
Can you see me baby?
I'm washing my seats for you
Yeah if you can see that you can
See in the future for a thousand years

Mmmmm...
Yeah

Well can you hear me?
I'm singing this song to you, mmm...
Can you see me baby?
I'm on my knees for you, yeah
If you can see that well you
Better come home like your sposed to

Yeah you better come home
Yeah you better come home
Just like your s'posed to do


14. I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING

You better know what you want
You know how little I got
I can't give you anything

You think that I'm real cute
But who's gonna bring home the loot?
Make up your mind about
Hope you don't doubt that
I can't give you anything


15. HOMICIDAL SUICIDAL

Homicidal suicidal
One time lover
All night raver
One time killer
Two ton murder

Homicidal suicidal
Big time looser
Big time boozer
Live and learn
Live and burn
Hard time sinner
You're a winner

Take this thought

Yeah
Mmmmmmm...
You had to kill the copper
You killed the copper
Too bad you killed the copper

Homicidal suicidal
Live and learn
Live and burn

Too bad for the copper


16. SHE LIKES SURPRISES

Girlie dress and making her best
She makes up her hair for the 90s
Dirty shoes and hiding her blues
She's dying to lose what she's finding

So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises

Lips and thighs abused by our eyes
Acting surprised that she likes it
Chocolate cream, an amphetamine
Torn at the seams, she's crying

So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises

She gets a little I guess
She gets it more or less
She likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises

So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She like surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises


17. LIKE SUICIDE (ACOUSTIC)

Heard it from another room
Eyes were waking up just to fall asleep
Love's like suicide
Dazed out in a garden bed
With a broken neck lays my broken gift
Just like suicide

And my last ditch
Was my last brick
Lent to finish her
Finish her

Bit down on the bullet now
I had a taste so sour
I had to think of something sweet
Love's like suicide
Safe outside my gilded cage
With an ounce of pain
I wield a ton of rage
Just like suicide

With eyes of blood
And bitter blue
How I feel for you
I feel for you

She lived like a murder
How she'd fly so sweetly
She lived like a murder
But she dies
Just like suicide
