Intro

[No lyrics]

. . .


Blue showers
Stars open
New pennies
For heaven

And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground

No feelin'
Poor shooting
Find trouble
So soothing

And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground

[Unverified]

No body
Pure science
No body
Pure essence

And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground

And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground

. . .


I believe in everything,
In the hose and the silver ring,
I believe in everyone,
But the flame has just begun.

And I will,
I quit.
Can't stand the sight of it.
And I am,
I know,
In the path of your evil glow.

I believe in the gathering,
I believe in the plastic king.
I believe in everyone,
But the flame has just begun.

And I will,
I quit.
Can't stand the sight of it.
And I am,
I know,
In the path of your evil glow.

I believe in the rotten rope,
I believe in the cantalope.
I believe in the haunted house,
I believe in the Mickey Mouse.
Don't believe in humanity,
Think they got the best of me.
I believe in the cotton tree,
Gonna' build a galaxy.

And I will,
I quit.
Can't stand the sight of it.
And I am,
I know,
In the path of your evil glow.

. . .


Put off the light
Draw the line at anything natural
Flesh is fine
Redefines the meaning of natural
Nothing could own us.

Draw the wine, raise the glass to all the unnaturals
Raise the glass, raise it high to all the unnaturals
Nothing could own us.

[Chorus:]
Rub your eyes sending it back
Before where it came from...
Drop the lamp, try to find if anything's happening
Drop the lamp, stumble to find if anything's happening

There's nothing below us

[Chorus]

. . .


[Chorus:]
If you don't look you won't see
Everybody is Hercules
If you don't watch you won't be cool
And nobody will like you

You just experienced the latest invention
In a place that's too miserable to mention
And someone did some things to you just the other day
That are just too dirty for me to want to say
Well you just experienced the latest thing
I know it's just another thing
Just when you think that you're safe and alone
There comes a big, fat zombie with a taste for your tail-bone

[Chorus]

You got a problem?
I think I got a problem
I've just been molested by a prehistoric goblin
From Mars with a Martian eyeball
And it's just like a jelly fish nailed to a wall

[Chorus]

I see a spider-man vigorously jumping
Up and down on a little pink dumpling
Never-Never Land sparkles in the midst
Of the dust of a table being beaten by an ape fist.

. . .


Serious buy curious, buy anything
Buy it or shaving cream goes down the drain
Blue-vine, batwing, cannibal
Hurrah, hurrah

Novice tomboy, sugar wrestler discipline
Body vintage, flea hypnosis anti-trend
Blue-vine, batwing, cannibal
Hurrah, hurrah

. . .


"It's alive", she said, "It's a dream, a lie"
"Come alive, she said, "Come alive, alive"

Oh my God, I must be dreaming
If this is a dream, then why am I screaming?
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

All the lights have started popping
Once it starts, it's always stopping
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

"You're a dog", she said, "Come alive, alive
Like a dog, lay down on your side, your side"

Oh my God, I must be dreaming
If this is a dream, then why am I screaming?
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

All the lights have started popping
Once it starts, it's always stopping
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

Alive again, alive, alive
It's a dream, again
Come alive, alive

Oh my God, I must be dreaming
If this is a dream, then why am I screaming?
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

All the lights have started popping
Once it starts, it's always stopping
Take off your clothes there's nothing showing
Out of the sun a cold wind's blowing

. . .


You're the one and the everyone
Got a list of the things that you've done
Life's dirty and you know that it's true
Take a look at what is coming out of you

You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight

Livin' cheap and it's everyone
Never met, I feel that it's in you
Ever think that it's everything wrong
In a world that's totally blasted

You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight

Livin' cheap, it's everyone
Never met, the feeling is in you
Ever think that it's everything wrong
In a world that is totally plastered

You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight

You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hoverin' in the moonlight

. . .


Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should

Mostly I'm scattered with castaway matter
The usual stuff that you see
Hours and hours of televised time
And occasional pieces of me

Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

I still got the hole where my heart was
And the head where my mind used to live
The rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens
Who took most everything I had to give

There's palm trees and milky machine guns
And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

And I still got the hole where my heart was
And the head where my mind used to live
And the rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens
Took most everything I had to give

There's palm trees and milky machine guns
And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Hours and hours of televised time
And occasional pieces of me

. . .


With a mind that's sick and crazy
Put together like a baby in a fist fight
Here comes an angel flying
Like a moth to a backyard bug-light

One mind two hearts somehow got torn apart and healed
But never grew together
Like a rock tied to a feather
The ocean's parted for the boiling ice cream vendor
The condor circles in the vapor up above

The misses cheering
As the worm departs the apple
The old machinery
Has registered its love

In the air there is a rumbling
It sends the two hearts tumbling
Into a pool of thick black tar
Sink to the sky and hand like a black star

Tunnel of love sincerely
I miss your poor heart dearly
I wish I never had killed you
The blue birds sing so sweetly

. . .

Tarantula

[No lyrics]

. . .


I have always been a monster
Tho it seems a game of fools
And I have always come out losing
When it's someone else's rules

[Chorus:]
The song across the endless sea
Sends a wave that crashes over me, over me
The song above the giant roar
The endless wave that crashes over me

I could never make the journey
I can hardly even swim
That's why I'm so fascinated
Just how deep I've been pulled in

[Chorus]

Here's the horns of my dilemma
What's behind the siren's song
Do I crawl to my own drummer
Or am I being dragged along

[Chorus]

. . .

Wipeout

[No lyrics]

. . .


We went down to Leroy's double-barrel sun
Varmints always whippin' ass on Leroy
Devil-rabbit costume, gettin' on was fun
Always whinin' "Stop the war on fatboy"

[Chorus:]
Stop abusing Martians
Stop reducing calories
Clip your eggs together
Monkey one

Keep gettin' on - part of the plans that were made
We held up the donut just before the sun
We all argued who would service fat boy
Fat boy has the knowledge, knowledge overcome
Super hand of wonder it's the fat boy

[Chorus]

Fat boy claims he's triplets, I believe each one
Always, always lying, it's the fat boy
If I claim I'm triplets it's knowledge overcome
Super hand of wonder is this fat boy

[Chorus]
