01. HEAD CARRIER

Head carrier, Head carrier

Hey, Rusty come hold Luther's hand
It's deja-vu it's not like I planned
Looks I'm going where I've already been

I'm going down the drain again

Head carrier (Head carrier)
Head carrier (Head carrier)

Is this really worth it? I got a prison cough
A three-headed monster cut Denny's head right off
You can't be too chill, you can't be too zen

I'm going down the drain again
I'm going down the drain again
I'm going down the drain again

Up the hill to have him killed
And he still hadn't died
He talked awhile and walked six miles
Down to riverside

Head carrier (Head carrier)
Head carrier (Head carrier)
Head carrier (Head carrier)
Head carrier (Head carrier)


02. CLASSIC MASHER

Saw you coming my way put my nose in a book
Some crap that you gave me or something that I took

Man, He looked so it hadd to be ooze leather
He's so together oozing like I never could

I bet he's a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
Tete-a-tete with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they're laughing at you

He's playing dumb while you're looking at clothes
Straightening his hat Mr. Shnook ho-hum

I shoulda shook his hand I never used to feel bad
Never felt so blue guess I never amused you

I bet he's a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
Tete-a-tete with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
They talk boots while they're laughing at you


03. BAAL'S BACK

I bet you thought that I was dead and gone
You wouldn't know that something's even on
And when you're lying on the silver tracks
No difference to me

You don't know that you're a sacrifice
All my love has turned back into ice
People, when the sky is turning black
You'll know that it's me

Are you saving ?
Are you saving it for me ?
Are you saving all your precious love for me ?

Are you saving ?
Are you saving it for me ?
Are you saving all your precious love for me ?

Baal's back

I bet you thought that I was dead and gone
You wouldn't know that something's even on
People, when the sky is turning black

You'll know that it's me

Are you saving ?
Are you saving it for me ?
Are you saving all your precious love for me ?

Are you saving ?
Are you saving it for me ?
Are you saving all your precious love for me ?

Baal's back
Baal's back
Baal's back


04. MIGHT AS WELL BE GONE

You're the chosen one,
But I could use a change
Even golden suns

Find the end of their reign

You might as well be gone,
Yeah, you might as well be gone,
That's my speech
That's my song

On the street tonight
But the bars are all closed
We could meet tonight
But you're only a ghost

You might as well be gone
You might as well be gone
Yeah, you might as well be gone
That's my speech
That's my song

You might as well be gone
You might as well be gone

You might as well be gone
You might as well be gone
That's my speech
That's my song


05. OONA

Her place was like an eyrie
The fall seemed very scary
Down to the strand
Please, I wanna be in your band

I see her body swaying
I hear her fingers playing
Her parlor grand
Please, I wanna be in your band

Oona, I will await destruction
Oona, I will await destruction
My owner, I'm Oona's

And automatic writing
I hear they do it nightly
And wild jams
Please, I wanna be in your band
Please, I wanna be in your band

Oona, I will await destruction
Oona, I will await destruction
My owner, I'm Oona's

I hear her fingers playing
Her parlor grand
Please, I wanna be in your band
Please, I wanna be in your band
Please, I wanna be in your band

Oona, I will await destruction
Oona, I will await destruction
My owner, I'm Oona's


06. TALENT

I met this real cool dude today
Looking like Jack Palance
He said I wanna get through to you
And help you find your talent

He said that if I had a certain style
Then stuff would start to happen
He said that soon he was going away
'Cause he's a major talent

Talent - fighting on the East Side
Talent - taking on the West Side
Talent - fucking up the North Side
He's a major talent

Talent - fighting on the East Side
Talent - taking on the West Side
Talent - fucking up the North Side
He's a major talent
(I don't know)

I said that he was getting through to me
And I would take his challenge

And maybe soon I'd be going away
'Cause I had certain talents

Talent - fighting on the East Side
Talent - taking on the West Side
Talent - fucking up the North Side
I'm a major talent

Talent - fighting on the East Side
Talent - taking on the West Side
Talent - fucking up the North Side

I met this dude today
Down in the sewers of Paris
Was hiding from the sun
What a waste of talent


07. TENEMENT SONG

The drumsticks were his treasure trove
Found in the ashes of The Coconut Grove

Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?

Hey, man, nothing comes from nothing
Hey, man, something came from somewhere

Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on

(Tenement song)
(Tenement song)
Tall bottle and one more smoke
(Tenement song)
She lived through the fire but the piano got broke
(Tenement song)

Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?

Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on

Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
(On and on and on)


08. BEL ESPRIT

He did his little dance,
here up in the north of Spain,
Danced all the way to France,

Just to try and bring her rain

That's the way of this man
He rolled away the stone
With a plastic crucifix
‘Cause he'd rather get his kicks
Than be here all alone,
That's the way of this man

He's not much of a bel esprit,
She can't seem to understand him
A bit more like a chimpanzee

She thinks he has no soul
'Cause he never learned to crawl
That's the way of this man

And he can only sing
Of his incipient love

That's the way of this man
He's not much of a bel esprit
She can't seem to understand him
A bit more like a chimpanzee
That's the way of this man
That's the way of this man
That's the way of this man
That's the way of this man


09. ALL I THINK ABOUT NOW

I try to think about tomorrow
But I always think about the past
About the things that didn’t last
If I could go to the beginning
Then for sure I would be another way

Make it better for today
If I could go to the beginning
I would be another way
Make it better for today
Remember when we were happy?
If I'm late, can I thank you now?
I'm gonna try anyhow
I remember we were happy
That’s all I think about now
That’s all I think about now
I remember we were happy
That’s all I think about now
If you have any doubt
I want to thank you anyhow


10. UM CHAGGA LAGGA

Well I’m headed south but kinda west
Up around the bend and I have one more breath
Uh, standing tall in the rows of corn
That's Cora Pearl at ten in the ‘morn

Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga in the Languedoc
(Um chagga lagga in the Languedoc)
Black coal night in Wallonia sticks
Saw your red light burn for like twenty clicks, uh, uh
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga in Wallonia sticks
(Um chagga lagga in Wallonia sticks)
But I’ll keep on driving, don’t get mixed up in shit
You could get used to it

Yeah, I lost my way in the Tramontane
‘Cause that crazy stuff got in my brain
So I walked the marsh at Bouche De Rhone

(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
And all night long I heard you moan

Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
Um chagga lagga at Bouche De Rhone

But I’ll just keep on walking
It’s starting to hit me
They’re coming to get me
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga in Bouche De Rhone
(Um chagga lagga at Bouche De Rhone)
Um chagga lagga at the gravy station
(Um chagga lagga at the gravy station)
Um chagga lagga in San Antone

(Um chagga lagga in San Antone)

Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
Um chagga lagga on the side of the road
(Um chagga lagga on the side of the road)
They're coming to get me


11. PLASTER OF PARIS

You look like a praying mantis
You could say that the bug is man
Big joke or a small disaster

Last chance before they give it the plaster

Paint my picture and I'll paint you
You're not like others you ain't
Running down the hill I thought I passed her
Last chance before they give it the plaster

I can't dance but I don't wanna bore ya
Last line from the cephalaphore
I'll be the son of a son of a son of a bastard
Last chance before they give it the plaster
Big joke or a small disaster
Last chance before they give it the plaster


12. ALL THE SAINTS

All the saints that I love
Some below, some above
From this world, they were torn
From their seed, I was born

Wondering why I'm still here
Too many times I had fear
Trying to be near you
