Your Inner Workings

If I told you something 'bout the way I think your life is running
Would you even listen, would you even care
And if that little something happened to amount to nothing
But that little something was not about your hair
I don't want to know
She don't want to know
He don't want to know
We don't want to know
What goes on in that tiny mind of yours
Gears don't grind the way that they ought to
It's hard to find any logic floating in you
(chorus)
If I told you something 'bout the way I think your life is running
Would you even listen, would you even care
And if that little something happened to amount to nothing
But that little something was not about your hair
(chorus)

Bad Things @ Xmastime
02:42
|
|||
|
I live across the road from Nichol's Station
It's an apartment I don't know too well
And I don't know nobody at Nichol's Station
Nobody I know too well
All I know is that some kid died last Christmastime
What a gift the mom and dad must had
Not that he was a good kid nor that he was bad
Somehow it's ironic that the bad never stops at Christmastime
Bad things always happen at Christmas time
Well the bad shit always happens at Christmastime
One more reminder
When you're out shopping for presents next year
Maybe you'll get crushed in the stampede
When you're trying to get the free wrapping
'Cause bad things always happen at Christmastime

Pussy Angel
01:01
|

There's nothing I can't change
With scissors and glue
Except for the pussy angel inside of you
There's nothing I need more
Than to cut myself free
From the pussy angel inside of me

Mutiny On The Love Boat
02:22
|
|||
|
I'm the captain of this boat
And I'm the master of the sea
I sure hope that you can float
'Cause I can't go, you can't stay
Why don't you sail away
If I again choose to court
Raise the main sail from the lee
I will steer hard to port
I can't go, you can't stay
Why don't you sail away

Chicken Scratch
03:52
|

|
He held a box of picks and shotgun shells
With his Beatle books and boots
And he smiled, oh how he smiled
A wicked little gleam in his eye
Can't get it through his head
On a page of chicken scratch
Written down in blood
He smiled and he sighed
A wicked little gleam in his eye
As for long goodbyes, he hated long goodbyes
Don't you know what's going on
Don't you know the score
Don't you know what's going on
Don't you know what it's for
Get it through his head

In My Hut
01:33
|
|||
|
In a peaceful Polynesian village
I found a peaceful way of life
Just up the beach from the chief
I often head hunt with his wife
The folks back home think I've gone nuts
They don't understand why I live in a hut
Toucan Samantha she like banana
The boys in the band are from the Copa Cabana
In my hut pretty native girls
Feed me love from a coconut

Kissing The Teacher

I'm kissing the teacher
At the football game
Under the bleachers
It's all the same
'Cause I'm kissing the teacher

Bullfrog
03:21
|
|||
|
From egg to tad to polywog
Now's the time to move along
It's time to find your own bog
Now that you're a full grown frog
Isn't it fun to have a long tongue
Isn't it fun
It's time to move along
Don't be so sad
You'll fing your home sweet lilypad
Isn't it fun to have a long tongue
Isn't it fun
Jump on bullfrog
Isn't it fun to have a long tongue
Isn't it fun

If I could I surely wouldn't
But I can't so I won't
You stay here, drink your beer
I'll go there and float
(2nd vox)
I can offer no explanation for the way they think
????????? and their shit don't stink
When you get your first whiff, be sure that you don't blink
For just like you and just like me their shit surely stinks

My dad can beat-up your dad
He's the best dad there's ever been
I know you dad
You love me so dad
You need to know, I love you
When I call hi, he's on the fly
He says their house is very near
He asks me why I don't stop by
Because he don't like dark beer
He don't like the stuff I like to drink
Our two minds don't alike think
Or maybe they do

Lemon

Lemon shit
You smell so sweet
You're so alive
Drenches my eyes
In a pool of fucking dew
I listen to the noise I hear
Would you dance with me oh lemon dear
Suck my life you angel food
Grow and glow I think I know
You yellow lamb of lacrymose
Effervescent dream

It takes a special kind of out there
To get the job done
So don't get in between when someone wrestles their demons
Rub the obscenities to bring good fucks this weekend
Extreme situations and more extreme measures
One does what one can to propagate pleasures
It takes a special kind of out there
To get the job done
So do what it takes to eat a dinner in bed
The good half can still fake while giving sweet head
Head for the hills with some big rolls in motion
Dog paddle a trade route across a curly-haired ocean
Bow down, lay down
Get the job done
It takes a special kind of out there
To get the job done
So don't get in between when someone wrestles their demons
Rub the obscenities to bring good fucks this weekend
Extreme situations and more extreme measures
One does what one can to propagate pleasures

They always got
Their own way
But every dog will have his day
Stick with what
You know is true
'Cause there's a dog inside of you
Foaming at the mouth to mouth
Red rover, red rover
Come out, come out
Red rover, red rover
Come over, come out

Oolong Ain't American
01:59
|
|||

Before you take your leave of me
Boil your water, steep your tea
Take the essence of the leaves
Picked for you from overseas
Just remember where they're from
'Cause oolong ain't american
Oolong
Oolong
I will take this asian drink
Pour it all down the sink
Send it back to where it's from
The land across the ocean
Oolong
Oolong
I've yet to meet a greater fiend
Packed with any more caffiene
Guaranteed to make you spin
You must be firm and not give in
Temptation can't defeat the strong
Against the onslaught of oolong
Send it back to where it's from
The land across the ocean
Oolong
Oolong
Before you take your leave of me
To boil your water, steep your tea
Just remember where it's from
'Cause oolong ain't american
So you've been waiting all this while
To have a cup of instant smile
Just remember where it's from
'Cause oolong ain't american
Oolong
Oolong

Leibowitz
01:41

The breakers beat monotonously at the shores, casting up driftwood
An abandoned seaplane floated beyond the breakers
After a while the breakers caught the seaplane
And threw it on the shore with the driftwood
It tilted and fractured a wing
Ther were shrimp carousig in the breakers
And the whiting that fed on the shrimp
And the shark that munched the whiting and found them admirable
In the sportive brutality of the sea
A wind came across the ocean
Sweeping with it a pall of fine white ash
The ash fell into the sea and into the breaker
The breakers washed dead shrimp ashore with the driftwood
Then they wased up the whiting
The shark swan out to his deepest waters
And brooded in the old clean currents
He was very hungry that season
He was very hungry that season

It's been a very long time
It's been a very, very long time
It's so close I can taste it
It is what you make it
And I'll make it my own
When I'm on top again
I'll be a good boy
And when I'm on top again
I promise I'll be a good boy

Peachness under the dirtness
Under my pretty fingernails
Sweet lines squinted by chameleon eyes
Ground in the fierce smiles of my past
Knee size lifted by freckled tries
Of two opinionated thighs
Tight hairs on a girl where
She's lucky the rest don't think
That a girl like her is like a girl should look

It will all soon be over
It will all soon go away
You won't have to wait much longer
Close your eyes, don't be afraid
Who'd have thought when I first met you
That I'd steal your heart away
But since you're pale and cold
In your chest there's a hole
You won't need it anyway
Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
I came here for a prize
Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
Don't be afraid, just close your eyes
It will all soon be over
It will all soon go away
You won't have to wait much longer
Close your eyes, don't be afraid
Who'd have thought when I first met you
That I'd steal your heart away
But since you're pale and cold
In your chest there's a hole
You won't need it anyway
Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
I came here for a prize
That part is your heart and the knife is so sharp
Don't be afraid, just close your eyes

Stars streak by
And burn my hairy legs with fusion
Multiply, see what clusters will do to you
Through space and time
Dramamine for a no G-suit drama
It's curtains at light speed
Ad infinitum
Ad infinitum

A fascination with eruptions
Has whittled my time away
Some years gone by now
Wish I knew what to say
Gone away and far away
Set in motion with a gesture
Every green thumb has gone grey
The dimmer prospects flicker out
And the bright ones quickly fade
Gone away and far away
Disconnected, unsteady oration
Jerry rigging all the lines
Wanting, not wanting
Your attention all the time
Here I am alone again
Just thinking of nothing but you
Indecision about division
Partitioning what to give
And pouching a boomer
Is not the way to live
Here I am alone again
Just thinking of nothing but you
Fascination with eruptions
For now it's here to stay
More years may pass
Will I still not know what to say
Here I am alone again
Just thinking of nothing but you
I didn't want to try
What you wanted to
I just had to cry
What else could I do
Here I am alone again
Just thinking of nothing but you
I didn't want to try
What you wanted to
I just had to cry
What else could I do
