About a Girl 

I need an easy friend 
I do, with an ear to lend 
I do, think you fit this shoe 
I do, but you have a clue             

I'll take advantage while 
You hang me out to dry 
But I can't see you every night (for) free  

I'm standing in your line 
I do, hope you have the time 
I do, pick a number to              
I do, keep a date with you

Come As You Are  

Come as you are, as you were 
As I want you to be 
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy 

Take your time, hurry up 
The choice is your, don't be late 
Take a rest as a friend as an old memory 
a memory  

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach 
As I want you to be 
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory
a memory  

And I swear that I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam 
Sunbeams are not made like me  

Don't expect me to cry 
For all the reasons you had to die 
Don't ever ask your love of me  

Don't expect me to cry 
Don't expect me to lie 
Don't expect me to die for thee

The Man Who Sold The World   

We passed upon the stairs, we spoke in walls and web 
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend 
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes 
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago  

Oh no, not me 
We never lost control 
The face to face 
Of the man who sold the world  

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home 
I searched a far the land, for years and years I roamed 
I gazed a gazy stare We walked a million hills  
I must have died alone, a long long time ago  

Who knows, not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With the man who sold the world

Pennyroyal Tea  

I'm on my time with everyone 
I have very bad posture 

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea 
Distill the life that's inside of me 
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea 
I'm anemic royalty 

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld 
So I can sigh entern'ly 
I'm so tired I can't sleep 
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief  
I'm anemic royalty

 
I'm anemic royalty 
I'm on warm milk and laxatives 
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me 
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea 
I'm anemic royalty

Dumb  

I'm not like them 
But I can pretend 
The sun is gone 
But I have a light 
The day is done 
But I'm having fun  


I think I'm dumb 
Or maybe just happy 
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke 
But I have some glue 
Help me inhale 
And mend it with you 
We'll float around  
And hang out on clouds 
Then we'll come down 
have a hangover, have a hangover  
have a hangover

Skin the sun 
Fall asleep 
Wish away 
The soul is cheap 
Lesson learned 
Wish me luck 
Soothe the burn 
Wake me up

I think I'm dumb.

Polly 

Polly wants a cracker 
I think I should get off of her first 
I think she wants some water 
To put out the blow torch    

It isn't me  
We have some seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride 
Don't hurt yourself 
I want some help 
To help myself 
I've got some rope 
You have been told 
I promise you 
I have been true 
Let me take a ride 
Don't hurt yourself 
I want some help 
To help myself  

Polly wants a cracker 
Maybe she would like more food 
Asks me to untie her 
A chase would be nice for a few  

Polly says her back hurts 
And she's just as bored as me 
She caught me off my guard 
It amazes me, the will of instinct

On A Plain  

I'll start this off without any words 
I got so high that I scratched till I bled  

I love myself better than you 
I know it's wrong so what should I do?  

The finest day that I've ever had 
Was when I learned to cry on command  

I'm on a plain 
I can't complain  

My brother died every night 
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that  

The black sheep got blackmailed again 
Forgot to put on the zip code  

Somewhere I have heard this before 
In a dream my memory has stored 
As defense I'm neutered and spayed 
What the hell am I trying to say  

It is now time to make it unclear 
To write off lines that don't make sense  

And one more special message to go 
And then I'm done then I can go home

Something In The Way  

Underneath the bridge 
(The) tars has sprung a leak 
And the animals I've trapped 
(Have) all become my pets 
And I'm living off of grass 
And the drippings from the ceiling 
(But) it's okay to eat fish 
Cause they haven't any feelings  
Something in the way

Plateau

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau 
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know 
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand 
To beautify the foothills shake the many hands  

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop 
And an illustrated book about birds 
You see a lot up there but don't be scared 
Who needs action when you got words  

You've finished with the mop then you can stop 
And look at what you've done 
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen 
And the work it took was fun  

Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau 
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico 
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood 
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Oh, Me

If I had to lose a mile 
If I had to touch feeling 
I would lose my soul 
The way I do  

I don't have to think 
I only have to do it 
The results are always perfect 
But that's old news  

Would you like to hear my voice 
Sprinkled with emotion 
Invented at your birth  

I can't see the end of me 
My hole expanse I cannot see 
Formulate infinity 
Store deep inside me


Lake Of Fire  

Where do bad folks go when they die 
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly 
Go to a lake of fire and fry 
See them again till the Fourth of July  

I knew a lady who came from Duluth 
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth 
She ran to a grave just a little too soon 
Flew and down on the yellow moon  

People cry people moan 
Look for a dry place to call their home 
Try to find some place to rest their bones 
While the angels and the devils 
Try to make their own

All Apologies  

What else should I be 
All apologies 
What else should I say 
Everyone is gay 
What else could I write 
I don't have the right 
What else should I be 
All apologies  

In the sun 
In the sun I feel as one 
In the sun 
In the sun 
I'm married 
buried  

I wish I was like you 
Easily amused 
Find my nest of salt 
Everything is my fault 
I'll take all the blame 
Aqua seafoam shame 
Sunburn with freezerburn 
Choking on the ashes of her enemy 
All in all is all we all are

Where Did You Sleep Last Night

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me 
Tell me where did you sleep last night  

In the pines, in the pines 
Where the sun don't ever shine 
I would shiver the whole night through  

My girl, my girl, where will you go 
I'm going where the cold wind blows  

Her husband, was a hard working man 
Just about a mile from here 
His head was found in a driving wheel 
But his body never was found
