5. The Holiday Song
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son
This ain't no holiday
But if our ways turns out this way
Here I am, where's my hand?
He took his sister from his head
And painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And kissed her, they were dead
This ain't no holiday
But if our ways turns out this way
Here I am, where's my hand?
Well, sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son
This ain't to holiday no no!
But if our ways turns this way
Here I am, where's my hand?
This ain't to holiday
But if our ways turns this way
Here I am, where's my hand?
6. Nimrod's Son
~~~~~~~~~~~~
One night upon my motorcycle through the desert spead
And smashed my body's soul that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
'You are the son of a mother fucker'
One... Two... Three... Four...
I shit all night and held her hand
Chocolate people, we'll I'll be dammed!
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son!
Oh, bury-a me
Far away please
Bury me
Ha-ha!
The joke has come upon me!
In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life I've led
And how my soul been leaking all the holes where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often said
'You are the son of incestious union'
One... Two... Three
Now my head is clear
My would bash walls?
My donna's pure
My son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son!
Oh, bury-a me
Far away please
Bury me
Ha-ha! Ha-ha!
The joke has come upon me!
7. I've Been Tired
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One, two, three
She's a real left winger cuz she's been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said 'I could tell you a story that could make you cry'
'What about you?'
I said 'Me too'
'I could tell you a story that would make you cry'
And she said 'Aaahh'
I said 'I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed'
'I like Lou Reed' she said sticking her tounge in my ear
'Let's go, let's sit, let's talk'
'Politics go so good with beer'
'And while were at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?'
I said 'Loosing my penis to a whore with desease'
'Just kidding' I said 'Loosing my life to a whore with desease'
She said 'Excuse me please?'
I said 'Loosing my life to a whore with desease'
I said 'Please... I'm a humble guy, with healthy desire'
'Don't give me no shit because...'
I've been tired! [6x]
I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape the ways she raise me
She'll make you feel like Solomon before you babies even if you had no one
('And while we're at it, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears')
I don't wanna sleep after setting my loins on fire
A thants ok because...
I've been tired! [6x]
I've been tired! [9x]
T-I-R-E-D spells me
Spells me
8. Levitate Me
~~~~~~~~~~~
Give me help
Give it hell
You can... levitate me
Take off them rings, off them holes
Levitate me
Higher please
Levitate me
Elevator lady [4x]
Lady, imitate me
If all in all is true [3x]
If all is true
Won't you please run over me [4x]
Shakey shake

Come on pilgrim, you know he loves you
Levitate me
Higher please
Keep your baby
Elevator lady [3x]
Lady elevator lady

(This is a song for Carol!)
Your into Japanese fast food
And I drop you off with your Japanese lover
And your going to the beach all day
Your so pretty when your unfaithful to me
You so pretty when your unfaithful to me
Well, you're looking like
You got some sun
Your dico lips
Have got a kiss
The days are lit like everyone
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh
Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine
I was talking to peachy-peach about kissy-kiss
Buy me a soda
Buy me a soda
Buy me a soda and try to molest me in the parking lot
Yep, yep yep YEP!
I make you pray
You make me hot
You're island skin
Looks nice and burnt
Alone is rice and beans and horses flower
Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-ooooooh, Uh-oh

I'm the honey? looser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door

You'll find us crawlin on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my
Bones
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever as I never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flyin in the air
Chorus
Somebody got hurt

Childen with his sisters
They were his daughters
They were his favorite lovers
I got no lips, I got no tounge
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tounge
I got a broken face, uh-hu! Uh-hu!
I got a broken face
There was this metalsmith who broke
In little pieces
And then they drilled holes
And they put em back in there

I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, oooo!
I got a broken face
The little thing known as my momma
Speak no english

You'd say 'Hey, ain't she lovely!'
I got no lips, I got no tounge
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tounge
5. Gigantic

Into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said

Hey Pauly, Pauly, Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Pauly, Pauly, Paul, let's have a ball
Gigantic! Gigantic! Gigantic!
A big big love!
Gigantic! Gigantic! Gigantic!
A big big love!
Lovley legs they are
What a big black mask
What a hunk of love
Walk her every day
Into a shady place
Is that the dark that I'd wanna

Gigantic! Gigantic! Gigantic!
A big big love!
Gigantic! Gigantic! Gigantic!
A big big love!
A big big love!

7. Where is my mind?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oooooh - STOP!
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this drink and spill it, yeah
Your head will collapse
And there's nothing in it and you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

I was swearing and you were praying
Animals were hidihg behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they too me sweat
Trying to dive

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this drink and spill it, yeah
Your head will collapse
And there's nothing in it and you'll ask yourself

Ooooooh
Try this drink and spill it

8. Cactus
~~~~~~
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishin that I had just something you wore
I put it on when go lonley
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing dosen't mean your not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing dosen't mean your not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishin that I had just something you wore

A fish is fast
And jimmy's cast
Hang me
A white moon's hot
The other side's not

My eyes have turned
Just the color of diamond
Just the color
The frayed color of ice
Diamond
Just the color
The frayed color of ice
