1. EXACTLY WHERE I’M AT

Let's begin
With the past in front
And all the things
You really don't care about now
It'd be exactly where I'm at
And to think
You got a grip
Look at yourself
Your lips are like two flaps of fat
They go front and back and flappity flap

I'm all staged
It's all an act
I'm really scared that I may fall back on the abstract
It'd be exactly where I'm at

If you're to be
The roaming eye
Pry it open and let me tell you why it sees
The harsh realities

2. FLUTES OF CHI

Everything that you are,
That you'd like to be
Will come in three, my friend

Times thine inequity
The flutes of the chi
Will sound again, my friend

Wrap yourself up in gold,
The fruits of the old,
Are ripe to be told, my friend

For, it's not what you are,
How you've come to be
All this will will end and begin again

Everything that you are,
That you'd like to be
Will come in three, my friend

Times thine inequity,
The flutes of the chi
Will sound again, my friend

3. EVEN IF YOU DON’T

I'm goin' crazy - trying to keep you sane
Taking my prescriptions, and forging my name

I was happy this morning
You finally got yourself dressed
Eating raw bacon
It's OK, I was still impressed

I love you - even if you don't
You've got your knife up to my throat
Why do you want to see me bleed?

Rooting through the garbage
For treasures in the trash pile
Seeing my expression
Would always make you smile

Please don't touch my phone book
My friends are getting pissed off
Wake 'em in the morning
Acting like a jerk off

I love you - even if you don't
You've got your knife up to my throat
Why do you want to see me bleed?

I love you - even if you don't
You've got your knife up to my throat
Why do you want to see me bleed?

4. BANNAS AND BLOW

Sancho brought a message from the Fat Man
"Sorry, boy, to leave you high and dry,
But I went to see my mom in Ensenada,
And I left a little something to help the time go by
Just a little something to help to keep you high"

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

Now the rainy season reminds me of Maria
The way she danced, the color of her hair
Now I'm locked inside a stall at the cantina
Eating the bananas and the cocaine off the mirror
Looking for a ticket to take me away from here

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow


Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow


5. STROKER ACE

Light up the wheels and go for broke
Stomp that pedal with a sniftin stroke
Smack that roadblock caught in a pickle
I'm gonna hit that line like old dick trickle

Well my motor's fine and this train's on time
And when I cross that line I'm gonna make you mine

I'm stroker ace-stroker ace-stroker ace

Well it smells like poop and it sure looks crappy
Gotta get back to north pappy flappy

Well it's one a.m. and I'm rollin' in the car now
Gonna hit last call down at the bar now
Got a shammy in my pocket and it's burnin' a hole
Stick it the floor and watch me roll

Well my motor's fine and this train's on time
And when I cross that line I'm gonna make you mine

I'm stroker ace-stroker ace-stroker ace

Well it smells like poop and it sure looks crappy
Gotta get back to north pappy flappy


6. ICE CASTLES
(Instrumental)

7. BACK TO BASOM

Reaching out now and I touch your face
Please believe I'm only traveling
Like seeking wonder from a foreign place
It matters not from where I'm coming

And the snow so light is bleeding
We sleep so tight when we're breathing
Calm a little pint of soul - creeping

Calm the light - let me fly - Back to Basom
(call is waiting, contemplate a thread already spun)
Calm the light - let me fly - Back to Basom
(should you carry what you are is cooked until it's done)



Left to locate the last trace of waste
I picked it up and it was smiling
Just like the dancer who has lost her leg
She laughs alone but then she's crying

And the snow so light is bleeding
We sleep so tight when we're breathing
Calm a little pint of soul - creeping

Calm the light - let me fly - Back to Basom
(call is waiting, contemplate a thread already spun)
Calm the light - let me fly - Back to Basom
(should you carry what you are is cooked until it's done)


8. THE GROBE

Sometimes the ones you hold so close can make you cry
But it's a pain in the ass to let 'em go
With a battered wish you hoped that the monkey wore a tie
But it's no surprise to find he don't

Put the pointed pencil in the pepper-po
And take a little sniff of the things below
Bring it to a boil and simmer low
Put the noodle on the griddle as it climbs the Grobe

Watch the worker shield his heart from the world outside
Didn't get a chance to let him know
Alsace is spinning fast and wine mixed with the tide
Please don't let my brain explode

Put the pointed pencil in the pepper-po
And take a little sniff of the things below
Bring it to a boil and simmer low
Put the noodle on the griddle as it climbs the Grobe

9. PANDY FACKLER

Pandy Fackler was a working girl
Living alone in another world
Of picket fences and a white facade
Sucking dicks under the Promenade

She was almost in a coma - from doing the Bossa Nova
And the Funky Cold Medina - man, I wish you coulda seen her

Poor little Pandy is doing the best she can
Eating cotton candy from the garbage can
First to come and the last to go
I met her backstage after the 2nd show

Two lonely people on a summer night
We weren't in love but it was still alright
I held her close and she squeezed me tight - my Pandy!

10. STAY FOREVER

In the morning sun, I couldn't tell you
I couldn't tell you so many things
About how much I really love you
About how much you really mean
So far away but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you

So many colors that surround you
Some so bright I can hardly see
A light reflects on all the things that make you real
Things that make you truly free

So far away but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know - do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you

11. FALLING OUT

I recall a time when we were lovers
Before you, I hadn't any others
When the bad times came along
I turned and you had gone
From the start, I loved you, I was wrong

Falling out, it's the end
May as well have never been
The cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again
Don't consider me your friend
Falling out - look away - it's the end

Always thought of you as my big brother
Never knew we couldn't trust each other
Two faces I could see, as you shook my money tree
There's no more "you & me" let it be

Falling out, it's the end
And I lose another friend
The cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again
Don't consider me your friend
Falling out - look away - it's the end



Falling out, it's the end
May as well have never been
The cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again
Don't consider me your friend
Falling out - look away - it's the end


12. SHE’S YOUR BABY

Janey came back from the stand
Smiling
With the writing of Kafka in hand
And a bunny in a can
Slipping and sliding
You feel yourself asking her
Why would you want me to try...?
Squeezing your wrist and she's pulling you closer
Down where the devils are dying with laughter
Then led to a place where there's no form of pleasure
She blows you a kiss from her lips

She's your baby...

Those below us can not be renounced
Cause they're talking
And for once I wish they'd shut up their mouths
Lock their doors and stay in the house
And while you're inside there
You might want to question the fact
That you're not quite the same
And look to the room where she's keeping so quiet
A million layers of crust and deposit
Blanket the seasons and bury the reasons
You told her that this was for good

She's your baby
