Mudhoney Album

I was born on an Air Force Base
Nineteen sixty two
A rocket launch into outer space
Knocked me out of the womb
I cried and cried and cried
Happy to be alive
Astronauts were orbiting Earth
The Space Age was in sight

Where is the future that was promised us
Where is the future for everyone
Where is the future that was promised us
Where is the future of fun
Where is the future that was promised us
I'm sick to death of this one

I want to live in a floating city
I want to drive a bubble car
I want to fly with my personal jet pack
I want to visit my family on Mars
I want to live in an era of peace,
Of Love and Justice, Wonder and Truth
I want a world run by giant brians
Instead of small-minded arrogant fools

Don't walk away now, lend me your ear
Let me make myself perfectly clear
I got a point and this is the thrust
I see the enemy and it is us
Take a look baby deep inside
You can run but you cannot hide
Like a bubble that's about to burst
You see the enemy and it is us

It is us
It is us
It is us

Who's that lurking among the trees
They've got bombs that spread disease
Who's driving your aeroplane
They're up there causing hurricanes
What's that lady hiding under her skirt
Who are these people populating the earth
They're everywhere, who can you trust
We see the enemy and it is us

It is us
It is us
It is us

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Happy days are here again
Let's sing a song of cheer, sing a song of cheer
'cause happy days are here again
'cause happy days are here again
'cause happy days are here again
'cause happy days are here again

You went down like a nuclear bomb
I saw a flash and bang you were gone
I saw the light
Oh-oh, I saw the light
It devoured the sky, burned out my eyes
I saw the light

We leveled cities for miles around
Making love on the smouldering ground
I saw the light
Yeah yeah, I saw the light
It devoured the sky, burned out my eyes
I saw the light

Like radiation, love lingers on
Long after the damage is done
I saw the light
Oh-oh, I saw the light
It devoured the sky, burned out my eyes
I saw the light
It devoured the sky, burned out my eyes
I saw the light
It devoured the sky, burned out my eyes
I saw the light

Surround the Earth with a billion Suns
Spinning in daylight, darkness never comes
Bathe the world in revealing light
Erasing shadows, no place to hide
Open up everything for everyone to see
Making it impossible to be deceived

I wish a billion Suns appeared yesterday
I wish last night never came
Making today endless, endless yesterday
If a billion Suns covered every inch of space
Today would be endless, endless, endless yesterday
Under a billion Suns, you'd still be mine

We'd never sleep, we'd always stay awake
Living out our lives in one long happy day
We'd never know about last night
It could never happen in a world of constant light

I wish a billion Suns appeared yesterday
I wish last night never came
Making today endless, endless yesterday
If a billion Suns covered every inch of space
Today would be endless, endless, endless yesterday
Under a billion Suns, you'd still be mine

Our souls took off and left us behind
That's when we lost our hearts and our minds
We have no use for them anyway
They don't fit in to our routine day

We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
Empty shells

You see us in groups, you see us on our own
Going to church and taking out loans
Following sports, working our jobs
Chances are you're already singing along

We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
Empty shells

We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
We're the empty shells of our former selves
We're the empty shells
Empty shells

Can you hear the little girls asking
Daddy where have all the little boys gone
The little girls, they ask me
Daddy where have all the little boys gone
They don't tease us in classroom
They don't meet us at the mall

The little boys are fighting
They have left us all behind
The little boys are dying
To preserve our way of life
It's our patriotic duty
To make sweet love tonight

See these lovely lonesome ladies
They don't ignore me anymore
All these lonely lovely ladies
Keep on kockin' on my door
I'm the only game in town
And it's so easy to score

Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war
Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war
I've become a dirty old man with a hard-on for war

[No lyrics]

Aaaww, let's drop in
Baby, let's drop in
You know it can't begin
Until we drop in

You got to relax
C'mon Baby relax
Aaw just lay back
Release and relax

I know you feel it, yeah I can see it, Baby
Once you've revealed it, you can't conceal it, Baby
If you want to free it, you got to reach it, Baby

Let's drop in
Let's drop in
Baby, let's drop in
Aaww, let's drop in
Baby, let's drop in
Let's do it again
And then again and again

Once you've revealed it, you can't conceal it, Baby
If you want to free it, you got to reach it, Baby
So let's unleash it and then repeat it, Baby

Let's drop in
Aaww, let's drop in
Baby, let's drop in
Aaww, let's drop in

All right, the time is now
That's right, the shit is going down
It's time to do what needs to be done
Yeah yeah, it's high time we make you run
Yeah

On the move, we're on the move
On the move, we're on the move
There ain't nothing, nothing you can do
We're on the move, on the move
Aawww

Do you think, you got us all pinned down?
Do you think, we can be found?
We'll get around anything that you got
Yeah yeah, we'll blast right through 'cause you're so
Soft

On the move, we're on the move
On the move, we're on the move
There ain't nothing, nothing you can do
We're on the move, on the move
Aawww


We are outside
We are inside
We are so outside
We're on the inside
We are so far outside
We get deep inside
We are so far outside
We're all the way inside
We are so far outside
We're all the way inside
We're so deep underground
We're in the air
We're way out in the open
We don't need to hide
You don't notice us, cos
We are everywhere
On the move, we're on the move
On the move, we're on the move
There ain't nothing, nothing you can do
We're on the move, on the move
Aawww

I live up high among the frozen jagged peaks
Where the air is too thin for mortal men to breathe
Cold and alone, cold and alone
I roam these glaciers in search of something else like me

Could you be mine tonight?
Could you be mine tonight?
You look so warm in the cold moonlight
Could you be mine, could you be mine?

I dropped the moon and it shattered at your feet
I lost my grip when my hands began to bleed
My gift the Moon, my gift to you
My gift just lays there like a pile of broken teeth

Could you be mine tonight?
Could you be mine tonight?
You look so warm in the cold moonlight
Could you be mine, could you be mine?
Could you be mine, could you be mine?

I got holes in my vision
There are certain things I cannot see
I'm looking right at you baby
But that don't mean shit to me

Blindspots make it easier
For me to get through the day
Blindspots help me forge ahead
Through the troubles that keep coming my way

Now you might think I'm ill-prepared
That I don't understand what I'm up against
In a cluttered world of ugliness
Blindness is the best defense

You tell me everything is beautiful
Beautiful in it's own way
You got such a lovely cancer darling
Eating right through your brain

I've got gaps in my hearing
Certain frequencies have disappeared
The more you keep on talking baby
The more I'm glad the less I hear

Now you might think I'm ill-prepared
That I don't understand what I'm up against
In a cluttered world of too much noise
Deafness is the best defense

My burden is my sense of smell
I smell bullshit from miles away
If I can't get upwind from you
I'll cut of my nose to spite your face

Now you might think I'm ill-prepared
That I don't understand what I'm up against
In a cluttered world of bullshit baby
Senselessness is the best defense
