1. MEATPLOW

Fine place for a day full of breakdowns
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tack on the road, stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it ain't mine

They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed

But I got a lover and yeah she shows me how
To understand it, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well he show me how
To make amends, yeah to make amends with it

Take a break from the mousetrap we call home
Takes more than a message to make me smile
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on

They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed

But I got a lover and yeah she shows me how
To understand it, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well he show me how
To make amends, yeah to make amends with it

They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed

But I got a lover and yeah she shows me how
To understand it, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well he show me how
To make amends, yeah to make amends with it

2. VASOLINE

One time a thing occurred to me
What's real, and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the Vasoline

Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone

Flies in the Vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time

Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the Vasoline

You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies, and you will.

Flies in the Vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time

It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the Vasoline.

3. LOUNGE FLY

It's okay, it's okay
Okay, believe me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me, you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly
The fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't let me drown me
I want to fuck, I want to fuck
But do you need me?

I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
I can't live this way
Please refill my soul

It's okay, it's okay
Okay, believe me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me, you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly
The fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't let me drown me
I want to fuck, I want to fuck
But do you need me?

I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
I can't live this way
Please refill my soul

She said she'd be my women (Hurry up)
She said she'd be my women (Will you be my women?)
She said she'd be my man (Will you be my man?)

I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
I can't live this way
Please refill my soul

She said she'd be my women
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women
She said, she said, she said
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my women

4. INTERSTATE LOVE SONG

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
For what I've read between the lines
Your lies
Feeling like a hand in rusted chains
So do you laugh at those who cry?
Reply

Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things you said to me

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said and all that's dead for you
You lied
Goodbye

Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things I said to you

5. STILL REMIANS

Our bed we live, our bed we sleep
Making love and I become you
Flesh is warm with naked feet
Stabbing thorns and you become me

Oh, I'd beg for you
Oh, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away

She holds my hand, we share a laugh
Slipping orange blossom breezes
Love is still and sweat remains
A cherished gift, unselfish feeling

Oh, I'd beg for you
Oh, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away

She tells me things, I listen well
Drink the wine and save the water
Skin is smooth, I steal a glance
Dragon flies are gliding over

Oh, I'd beg for you
Oh, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away

6. PRETTY PENNY

Have you seen your mother, girl?
Has she gone away?
Gone away and found the pearl
But the price she paid

Gone when you wake in the morning
Gone when you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone, Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

How far will you go I say
Just to bait a mouse?
Shorter lived and longer gone
Can you figure out?

Gone when you wake in the morning
Gone when you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone, Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

Have you lost your sister, girl?
She's all but blown away
Blown away and lost the pearl
And the price she paid

Gone when you wake in the morning
Gone when you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone, Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm

7. SILVERGUN SUPERMAN

Find you in the dark
Read you like a cheap surprise
Without shame
Sell me out, and frame your name

I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell

You towed the line, and I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
Let me know, can I, friend, ask you why?

Rolling back the days
With my friend I love to play
The "little one"
Superman with silver gun

I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell

You towed the line, and I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
Let me know, can I, friend, ask you why?

Wait for me, take a dive
Take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb)
Wait for me, tell a lie
Try to take my life
(Leave me numb)
Wait for me, take a dive
Take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb)
Close to me, and I'll leave you numb

You towed the line, and I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
Let me know, can I, friend, ask you why?

You towed the line, and I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
Let me know, can I, friend, ask you why?


8. BIG EMPTY

Drivin' faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car

Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long
To wait too long
To wait too long

Too much walkin', shoes worn thin
Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride
It leaves today, her name is what it means
Too much walkin', shoe's worn thin

Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long
To wait too long
To wait too long

Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Conversations kill

Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long
To wait too long
To wait too long

Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Conversations kill

9. 'UNGLUED'

Moderation is masturbation
What is what and what makes you feel good
All these things I think about, I think about
Always come unglued

Yeah, I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this feeling coming over me, over me

This confusion is my illusion
Nowhere to look, but nowhere to find you
All these things I'm sick about
I'm sick about
Always come unglued

Yeah, I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this feeling coming over me, over me

Moderation is masturbation
What is what and what makes you feel good
All these things I think about
I think about
Always come unglued

Yeah, I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this feeling coming over me, over me
Yeah, I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this thing, it's coming over me
I got this feeling coming over me, over me
Yeah, wah-woo


10. ARMY ANTS

You don't look, but you kick me
You can't feel, but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray

Why we all have to look this way
I got a heart, I got blood, feel pain

Time, time is not on my side
Because the way I am
Got a got a now, got to find the reason why
A woman ain't a man

You don't look, but you kick me
You can't feel, but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray

Why we all have to look this way
I got a heart, I got blood, feel pain

Fall in those single file lines
Like army ants
Yeah, fall on into those single file lines
And complete the plan

You don't look, but you kick me
You can't feel, but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray

Why we all have to look this way
I got a heart, I got blood, feel pain

You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray

11. KITCHENWARE & CANDYBARS

Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know

Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What I wanted is what she wanted

Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knees
Unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need

Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what we wanted
What we wanted is what she wanted

You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but it's all a lie

Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know

Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What we wanted is what we wanted

What I wanted, is what I wanted, is
What we wanted, is what she wanted
