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 Free

I'm standing in your line

I do hope you have the time

I do pick a number too

I do keep a date with you

Take advantage while

You hang me out to dry

But I can't see you every night

Free

BAck

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 yours don't be late

Take a rest as a friend, as an old meroria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I wear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

back

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

Don't expect me to cry, don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die, don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie, don't expect me to die for thee

We passed upon the stair

He spoke in was and when

Although I wasn't there

He said I was his friend

Which came as surprise

I spoke into his eyes

"I thought you died alone A long long time ago"

"Oh no, not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world"

I laughed and shook his hand

And made my way back home

I searched a forgin land

For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazeless stare

At all the millions there

I must have died alone

A long long time ago

Who knows, not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

bacK

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 eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep

I'm anemic royalty

I'm a liar and a thief

I'm anemic royalty

I I'm on warm milk and laxatives

Cherry flavored antacids

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Distill the life that's inside of me

I'm anem-ennyroyal tea

I'm anemic royalty

bAck

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

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 and have a hangover

Have a hangover

Skin the sun, fall asleep

Wish away, soul is cheap

Lesson learned, wish me luck

Soothe the burn, wake me up

I think I'm dumb

BaCk

Polly wants a cracker

Think I should get off her first

Think she wants some water

To put out the blowtorch

[official chorus lyrics:]

It isn't me, we haven't seed

Let me clip dirty wings

Let me take a ride,

hurt yourself

want some help

to help myself

I've got some rope,

you have been told

I promise you heaven true

Let me take a ride,

hurt yourself

I want some help to help myself

Polly wants a cracker

Maybe she would like more food

She asks me to untie her

A chase would be nice for a few

On A Plain

I'll start this off without any words

I got so high

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 love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

My mother died every night

It's safe to say don't quote me on that

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again

Forgot to put on the zip code

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my memory is 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

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

One more special message to go

And then I'm done and I can go home

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

Underneath the bridge

The tarp 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

It's okay to eat fish

'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way

BacK

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

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop

And an illustrated book about birds

You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared

Who needs action when you got words

You finish with the mop and you can stop and look at what you've done

The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen, and the work, it was fun

Many a hand's began to scan around for the next plateau

Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico

Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood

But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

bACK

If I had to lose a mind, if I had to touch feelings

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 whole expanse

I cannot see

Formulate infinity, store it deep inside me

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

Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth

Bitten by a dog with a rabid tooth

She went to her grave just a little too soon

Flew and laid down on the yellow moon

People cry and 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 'em their own

BaCk

What else should I be?

All apologies

What else should I say?

Everyone is gay

What else should 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's my fault

I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one

In the sun, in the sun

I'm married Buried

Married

Buried

All in all is all we are

BaCK

Where Did You Sleep Last Night

My girl, my girl

Don't lie to me

Tell me when did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl

Where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

Her husband was a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a driving wheel

But his body it never was found

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 will shiver the whole night through

Back
