Buñuel's Secret Recipe

I took a little trip around the world today
I met a little girl who had a lot to say
And I didn't speak her language and she did not speak ours
But we needed no translator when we got drunk in the bar
We ran with the bulls in the streets of Pamplona
And we partied with the mafia in ol' Bologna
We went up to Bavaria and drank a lot of beer
I'm glad to be away from you and over here
We greased up our bodies on the isle of Crete
And we mimicked all the mimes in gay Paris
We journeyed into Amsterdam and sat in a cafe
We got so goddamn loaded we did not know what to say
We were nighted by the queen in Buckingham Palace
So we crowned her right back with a croquet mallet
We had ourselves a threesome with a leprechaun
We could have had a foursome but you were long gone

Walking back to the rig
Stare cast downwards all the way
Crimson trickle from your brow
You didn't have a lot to say
I know what you're thinking
'Cause I used to think
The only thing we need now
Is to have another drink
Winnow shaft from grain
Let the rest just fall away
I know all your reasons
'Cause I believed in the cause
Now I believe in nothing
You believe in Santa Claus
It's always your way or highway
You're set tall up to fall
No pallbearers to carry you
They'd rather bury than bear your pall
Winnow shaft from grain
Let the rest just fall away
No chance to throw it in
Flat out horizon won't
'Cause they know aikido
And you know that tae kwon don't
Winnow shaft from grain
Let the rest just fall away
Mill with the finest grit
See which baker gives a shit
Leaven all with active yeast
Give to the one you love the least
Walking back to the rig
Stare cast downwards all the way
Crimson trickle from your brow
You didn't have a lot to say
I know what you're thinking
'Cause I used to think
The only thing we need now
Is to have another drink
Winnow shaft from grain
Let the rest just fall away
I'll tell what I'm thinking
I'll tell you what I think
What I really need now
Is to have another drink
No chance to throw it in
Flat out horizon won't
'Cause they know aikido
And you know that tae kwon don't
Winnow shaft from grain
Let the rest just fall away
No chance to throw it in
Flat out horizon won't
'Cause they know aikido
And you know that tae kwon don't

Nice
04:26

There is not much to say
Except that it's so risky to quiet down
And listen to him holler
Elizabeth is here with us
That's kind of nice
Right now the dolls are all opening their dead eyes
And shining them at him as he telephones in the next hall,
Answering: Yes he was married to Ruby
And I touched moonlight sonata
If the scratched up cats
Come in to help me
And in a few a minutes Jamie's blood will pound hard
When she wakes from her nap to remember
Her dead brother was alive this morning
After I crack every last one of these clear windows with my memory
And ask the older tree to tell me what they think of our lives
I will prepare to take a quick breath in
When Walt gives me his invisible lips
And only because I am nineteen I will say
Walt, it was wrong to tuck me to sleep that day
You know I dream only when I'm awake
And I'm sorry I opened my eyes and talked before it was over
It's just that I was so comfortable
When you sent me outside
My jacket's neck didn't want to be clutched to my chest anymore
And I let things go and I was home
With a cough and two looks at the backseat
You can scan wildly how to be yourself
I thought about how pretty a brown sky would be tonight
Over our wet shoulders in the spring
And I watched you walk all the way home tonight when it was so cold
And I saw a beautiful girl today she was beautiful and fat
And I noticed how pretty the grey sky was tonight
And I touched my thigh and almost smiled

Ovary Action
02:31
|

|
At times I feel just like I was born to breed
Taken once too literally
Gave it far too liberally
So goddamn cheap it's less that free
Are we in love?
Now the time has come
She's got ovary action on her side
She's got no need for a spermacide
So when she invites you come inside
That voice in my head knew that we would go to bed
But it didn't say that things would ever work that way
Now you're gone
She's got ovary action on her side
She's got no need for a spermacide
So when she invites you come inside
Out of control I thought that I was on a roll
Unbridled lust exacts a toll
And I still refused to see
Until it got reversed on me
I'm left alone
Never thought I could be on my own
My unlucky day
You finally got things your own way
Now I'm gone
She's got ovary action on her side
She's got no need for a spermacide
So when she invites you come inside
Are we in love?
You know the time has come
She's got ovary action on her side
And I've been taken for a ride
When she invites you come inside
You will abide I'm sure

Overnight Slattern
01:55

File away the sundries
It's okay to bite
The latest contortions arrived overnight
So whittle me a new horse
A mail order bride
Black market anything
A kicked-back dowry bribe
One can turn over a new leaf
And then turn the page
All things must pass and have
And will soon be the rage
All the murdered designers will be brought back to life
Leaving complicated choices for bored shopping wives
And all their alcoholic husbands discard holographic lives
Leaving complicated choices for bored shopping wives

Psychic Friend
02:46

A special someone who
You can tell your problem to
Call anytime of day
In fact, call right away
Talking to
On the other end
To a genuine, certified psychic friend
One ninety-five will buy
A minute of their time
They'll say what you want to hear
And listen with well-trained ears
What you is great advise
For a phenomenally low low price

Now that our little secret's the evening news
Counting arms is sick when tossed like parts in a pig pen
The papers reek of what we found
We had to ask her each of fifty-one times
'Till Barnum said we could take it for a ride
I had to promise not to auger in on the line
Give my word to keep my hands inside
We're gonna climb
We're gonna climb
Outside the pen facts are plausibly denied
Out of sight, out of reach, out of mind
Our hides were risked to tan on the right
So I made sure to say my last goodbyes

Release Our Pow
01:58
|

|
Happened long ago and it seemed
We had no flame to throw between
Ourselves and other lesser beings
Vindicated by the screams of
Don't start to fuck around
And police release our pow
Evidence was left
Left for someone else
Better not fuck around
And police release our pow
And by doing so
They brought this on themselves
All because of another lie
Told long before we were born
They left her and her kind to die
Leaving us here to mourn
Don't start to fuck around
And police release our pow
Evidence was left
Left for someone else
Better not fuck around
And police release our pow
And by doing so
They brought this on themselves
All the sordid pictures will be published
The lies will lead to lives most hellish
The details will be embellished
Their crimes will not go unpunished
Don't start to fuck around
And police release our pow
Evidence was left
Left for someone else
Better not fuck around
And police release our pow
And by doing so
They brought this on themselves

Latex Flat
02:18
|

Found a nail
Bound to fail
Drop some pounds to get around
The pale, plain fact
That antics at the winter games
Mirrored the ceiling while the roof went up in flames
And laid out latex flat
And spat hot licks and hotter chicks
So writhe and flail
Against the rail
Drop some pounds to get around
The pale, plain facts
Beginner's luck just never stuck
Around, above, below, between
How to's, how do's, tell-alls
Behind the scenes
The glossiest paper for glossier 'zines
That laid out latex flat

I don't want to break you when you fall
I don't want to cut you short when you're standing tall
I don't want to kick you when you're down
And we can stop any time you start to drown
All your pleasure from pain
Nothing else is quite the same
Masochist kissed me
Took me across her knee
I don't want to waste your time
But without her I'm wasted all the time
At this rate I can't say how long I'll be around
And I'll fade into the faces of the crowd
You know we had won
We got started before
We had even begun
You can close your eyes but you can't ignore
Masochist kissed me, I am such a fool
And you can help hurt me if you want to
Why do I like it, I know it's not alright
That she should have to beat me to get me to sleep at night
Ground to a halt
Somebody else's fault
Masochist kissed me
And somerubbedoffon me

Countless lectures on the subject
Swept across the Rubik-crazed
Reminiscent of a time when
All standing waves were in phase
Figments of imagination
Displaced symptoms of the misbehaved
Glints and notions once had their glitches
Now left vacant and decayed
All the ashes of the assholes
Once and for all have gone to dust
Highway crossings across oceans
Lead the foul where they will not go
Navigating sans a sextant
Uncharted reefs mirror phosphor glow
Mythic proportions to the problems
Iterations enter the fray
Cryptic solutions hand-delivered
Left for dead, left to decay
And all the ashes of the assholes
Once and for all have gone to dust
Brief introductions
And heartfelt gestures
Immeasurable placement of trust
