Lives opened and trashed..."Look ma, watch me crash"...
No time to
question...why'd nothing last...
Grasp and hold on...hold tight and
fast...
Soon be over...and I will relent...
Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
Three days, and maybe longer,
won't even know I've left
Under your tongue...I'm like a tab...
I will give you what...you're not
s'posed to have...
Under my breath...I swear by sin...
For better or for
worse...a best we began...
Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer,
shed my skin at last...shed...shed...
Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, won't
ever find me here
Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past
Four days, and not much longer...
Let my spirit pass...
Ooh...
This is, this is... (3x)
My...last exit
LAST EXIT(written lyrics)
(die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
waiting for your lids to
close...
but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
Ironic that they
go for the eyes first...)
Let the sun shine, burn away my mask...
3 days, maybe longer...
shed my
skin at last
Let the ocean dissolve my way past...
3 days, not much longer..
wont
ever find me here
(once resigned, dictating your demise seems only fair.
built in effect of
the system.. control.
If one cannot control his life, will he be driven to
control his death?...)
Let the o-cean dissolve my way past.
3 days, maybe longer
wont even
know I've left
Let the sun climb, burn away my mask,..
3 days, maybe longer,...
let my
spirit pass
this is, this is... this is, this,.. this is, this is,... my
last exit.
SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE
See this needle...a see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so
gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't
turn you away...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the
black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...whoa...
Pull it out...a paper sleeve...
Oh, my joy...only you deserve
conceit...
I'm so big...a-my whole world...
I'd rather you...rather
you...than her...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the
black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...whoa...oh...
You're so warm...oh, the ritual...when I lay down your crooked arm...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the
black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
Spin the
black (5x) circle
Spin the black circle... (4x)
Spin, spin... (6x)
(Note:
The written lyrics in the liner notes have these two additional
lines:
the ritual,.. sometimes watch you...
I could fit my head on you.... you know actual size,.........)
NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth
Can't
escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don't you do it
too...too...
Small my table, a-sets just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh,
where did they come from? Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to
you...to you...
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, not for you...ah, you...
...scream...my friends...don't call me...
...friends, no they don't
scream...
...my friends don't call...my friends don't...
All that's sacred comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no
power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, never was for you...fuck you...
This is
not for you...
Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...
This is not for
you...
Oh, not for you...
Oh, you...
(Note:
The liner notes include:
Can be happy,.. Living under,.. betrayals roof,..
Oh Yeah
Call Me Sysiohus love____..
Yeh, I move The Rock____..
I just don't want to talk about
moving the
rock____...
got pictures taken of me while
moving the rock
anything
that distracts...me...from
moving the rock)
TREMOR CHRIST
Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the organ he
left all...bloodied on the shore...
Gorgeous was his savior, sees
her...drowning in his wake...
Daily tastes the salt of her tears, but...a
chance blamed fate...
Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still
get...big, big waves...
Ransom paid the Devil...He whispers pleasing words...
Triumphant are the
angels if they can...a get there first...
Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still
get...big, big waves...
I'll decide...take the dive...
Take my time...not my life...
Wait for
signs...believe in lies...
To get by...it's divine...whoa...
Oh, you know
what it's like...
Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
Puts his faith in love
and Tremor Christ...
NOTHINGMAN
Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't
be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help
thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and
sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
She once believed...in every story he had to tell...
One day she
stiffened...took the other side...
Empty stares...from each corner of a
shared prison cell...
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...
And
he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
Oh, she don't want him...
Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown
away...
Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
Burn...burn...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it
something?
Nothingman...
Nothingman... (2x)
Coulda' been
something...
Nothingman...
Oh...ohh...ohh...

WHIPPING
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm
already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
After a
while, seems to roll right off...hmm...
Whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're
whipping...
Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
Oh, don't get behind, I
can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want
no change, we already have
They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping,
ah...they're whipping...
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!
Ohh, I'm just like you, think
we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
Oh, we
all got scars, they should have 'em too...
Oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping,
ah...they're whipping...
They're whipping, ah...they're whipping,
ah...
...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...
PRY, TO
P-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me (4x)
P-r-i-v-a-c-y (4x)
CORDUROY
The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your
entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what
you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would
rather run but I can't walk...
Guess I'll lie alone just like before...
I'll take the firmest path...oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and
I will resist...this behavior's not unique
I don't want to hear from those
who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
I don't want to
limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't
want to be held in your debt...
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be
wed...
And I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I
began...
Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my
picture, spilled my tincture
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat
your breast...
All the things that others want for me...
Can't buy what I
want because it's free... (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...
I ain't s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I
figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...
It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess
I hate you...
THE LADIES' ROOM,......
In a Detroit suburb, Dundee to be exact, a newborn baby was found
in a
ladies room wastebasket,... It was in a state of non-living suspension,...
I
imagine the stall and the pain and the echoed moans of lonely,
desperate,
anguished chilbirth,... I hope she was able to feel relief,... I
am sorry for the
soul in the child,... That soul will get another shot I do
believe,... So will the
girl, I hope. It wants free.
BUGS
All these...
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my
ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs
in the way I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don't go nowhere
Waiting,
waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting,
kneeling...
A few block the door
And now the question's:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I
eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that
dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea
I let it happen again
They're
always takin' over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my
fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now it's too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one
That's when I had a chance
I'll just
stop now
I'll become naked
And with the...I'll become one
SATAN'S BED
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's
bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know,
he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want
to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the
special guest, he don't like to leave
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in
bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny
little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh
to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the
club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
In love...Ah ha ha ha...
...follows torture...follows reward...
(2x)
Oh, oh my butt...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had,
that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for
both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck
Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll
wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm
doing okay...
Already...in love... (6x)
Already...
BETTER MAN
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him,
take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls
over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in
love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in
red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells
herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for
the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's
gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better
man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better
man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better
man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better
man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him,
yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't
find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh... (5x)
Ohh...
AYE DAVANITA
Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)
Jahooh...jahooh...
(Repeat)
Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)
THE SONG WITHOUT WORDS
She laid alone
during her best days
as a work of art
reading naked
on the bed
spent some of her best days
cleaning carpet from her hair
spent the
worst days
owing you the pleasure
of taking blame..
spent her whole life
disbelieving in her worst fears.
A work of
art..
A work of art.
IMMORTALITY
Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the
comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up,
volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in
the sun...immortality...
As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
Swept out
through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou,
how?
Surrendered...executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the
floor...
A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on, too...
But saw the trapdoor
in the sun...
Immortality...
I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the
dark...
Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
Oh,
stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on...cannot stay long
Some die just to live...
Ohh...
I waited all day.
you waited all day..
but you left before
sunset..
and I just wanted to tell you
the moment was beautiful.
Just
wanted to dance to bad music
drive bad cars..
watch bad TV..
should
have stayed for the sunset...
if not for me.
STUPID MOP
Don't you want people to love you?
My spanking, that's the only thing I
want so much...
Spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...
That's
the only thing I want so much...
Don't you want people to love you?
My
spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...
That's the only thing I
want so much...
Why is that better than being hugged?
Why is that better
than being hugged?
Because you get closer to the person...
Closer to the
person...
Why is that better than being hugged?
Because you get closer to
the person...
Closer to the person...
Just like a person having sex feels
cared for...
We wanna be loved, so we have sex together...
And they feel
loved about that...
And this is the way it makes me feel...loved...
I want
it, I dream about it, I think about it, I want it...
Just like a girl wants
sex with a boy, you know?
It's the way I'll always be probably...
My last
one was born in the system...
See, they're stupid, very stupid, those people
over there...
They're stupid...
These people are so below mentality,
honest to G-d, really...
You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me...
(2x)
This mentality, honest to God, really...
You know what I mean, he got
the nerve to bug me...
Honest to God, really...
You know what I mean, he
got the nerve to bug me...
Bug me...bug me...he got the nerve to bug
me...
Everything seems so eight ball... (2x)
And I, I don't know if that's
my imagination, but, umm...
Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
And I
don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm...
Hey foxymophandlemama,
that's me... (2x)
Think they got me...
Hey foxymophandlemama, that's
me...hmm...
Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
...Know if that's my
imagination, but, umm...
Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
She prides
herself on her cleaning habits... (2x)
Hey foxymophandlemama, that's
me...
She prides herself on her cleaning habits... (2x)
It's a lovely
stupid mop, it is...
There's something really screwy about no
streaking...
Is it any old dumb mop? It streaks...
Come on mop, no
streaking mop...
I don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, I don't like
it...
It's not me, it's the mop...
Come, I bought some new mops...
Go
away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop...
I don't believe it...now the floor
looks beautiful... (2x)
I don't believe it...old sponge mop...
Dumb old
sponge mop... (2x)
Old sponge mop...
Dumb old sponge mop...
You're
right, this mop's stupid...
Dumb old sponge mop...
I don't believe
it...now the floor looks beautiful...
That's why they call me
mophandlemama...
Now the floor looks beautiful...
That's why they call me
mophandlemama... (3x)
In two weeks, before she could see herself not
dressed...
The twenty-third of May...you know she disturbed no one
today...
The manager told her to completely forget...
If you ever go to
bed, I'll kill you...
Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill?
Go
to the papers...yeah, why not?
Drum roll...
I want to show them that I
can walk on my own without hands of theirs...
And, I can still fantasize, but
I keep it to myself...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
I think I
deserve to be loved, don't you?
Very much so...
Think I deserve to be
loved...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
I think I deserve to be
loved, don't you?
...To be loved, don't you?
But I keep it to
myself...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
I think I deserve to be
loved, don't you?
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to
myself...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
I think I deserve to be
loved, don't you?
Very much so...
Do you ever think that you would
actually, really kill yourself?
Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh,
real deep...
Yeas, I believe I would...
I have thought about it real, uhh,
real deep...
Yes, I believe I would...
And, I can still fantasize, but I
keep it to myself...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
...that I
can walk without hands of theirs... }
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep
