ABOUT
A GIRL
I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this
shoe
I do ... won't 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 do
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
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every
night
Free
I do
I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this
shoe
I do ... won't you have a
clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night

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 yours, don't be
late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an
old memoria
Memoria

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 swear that I don't have a

No I don't have a gun

JESUS
DON'T WANT ME FOR A
SUNBEAM
Jesus, don't want me for a
sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
(Alt:
Sunbeams are laughing at
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 me
Jesus, don't want me for a
sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
(Alt:
Sunbeams are laughing at
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 me
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me
Jesus, don't want me for a
sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
(Alt:
Sunbeams are laughing at
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
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me

THE
MAN WHO SOLD THE
WORLD
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a 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 for form and land
(Alt:
I searched for foreign
land)
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
(Alt:
With
multimillionaires)
I must have died alone
(Alt:
I must have died
along)
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 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'm on warm milk and
laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of
me
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
x

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
x

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
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
Think I'm just happy

POLLY
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off 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 cut 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 cut 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
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut 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 cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of
instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut 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 cut yourself
I want some help
To help myself

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 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 brother 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?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this
before
In a dream my memory has
stored
As a 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?
And one more special message to
go
And then I'm done, then 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

SOMETHING
IN THE
WAY
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, mmm
Something in the way, yeah,
mmm

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 and
shake the many hands
The 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
When 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 was fun
There's 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
Well the 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
But 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 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
And 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
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
If I had to lose a mile
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
And 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
I formulate infinity

LAKE
OF
FIRE
Where do bad folks go when they
die?
They don't go to heaven where the
angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and
fry
Won't see them again 'till the
fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from
Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid
tooth
She went to her grave just a
little too soon
And she flew away howling on the
yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they
die?
They don't go to heaven where the
angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire
and fry
Won't see them again 'till the
fourth of July
Now the people cry and the people
moan
And they look for a dry place to
call their home
And try to find some place to
rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
try to make them their own
Where do bad folks go when they
die?
They don't go to heaven where the
angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire
and fry
Won't see them again 'till the
fourth of July

ALL
APOLOGIES
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
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 freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her
enemy
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried
Married
Buried
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
All in all is all we are (All
alone 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
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever
shine
I would 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 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 would 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 would shiver the whole night
through
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
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever
shine
I would shiver the whole night
through
