1.'til The Next Day Comes
She said, 'warm up your heart
Sixty-six more degrees
Then maybe you won't walk around
Like a human iceberg on your knees'
Now we could go together, baby
To see a big man with books
He'll take your mental temperature
Give you lots of dirty looks that last
Until the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
She said write me a song
To prove our love is in full bloom
And make it sound really popular
With more hooks than a coat room
And we could go together, baby
To see a big man with books
He'll take your mental temperature
Give you lots of dirty looks that last
Until the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
She said open your mind
And not the lousy t.v. set
Then maybe you won't walk around
Like a three legged circus freak pet
Now we could go together, baby
To see a big man with books
He'll take your mental temperature
Give you lots of dirty looks that last
Until the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
'til the next day comes
2.War
May your dad rest well down in hell tonight
I never liked him much, but he gave me a bite of his hot dog
When we went golfing
In san clemente
With richard nixon
But i was bored
So i prayed to the lord
Ha, give me a war
'cause i'm so bored
And i want more
In a real fucking war
Well i'm bored with iran and i'm bored with iraq
Egypt and israel and yassir arafat
The falklands was cool but it was too damn short
I want a real war 'cause i built a bitchin' fort
May your sister rest well in her bed tonight
I never liked her much, but she made me feel good last christmas
In your mom's station wagon
Behind 7-11
She was just fourteen
But i was bored
So i prayed to the lord
Ha, give me a war
'cause i'm so bored
And i want more
In a real fucking war
Well i'm bored with the contras and colonel quadhafi
The ayatollah's dead, but he made really great coffee
With my rifle in my arms i feel really swell
I wanna join the army and kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
kill
May your uncle rest well in his cell tonight
I never liked him much but he took me down to tijuana
We drank tequila
And watched your mom dance
At the bambi club
But i was bored
So i prayed to the lord
Ha, give me a war
'cause i'm so bored
And i want more
In a real fucking war
3.The Ballad Of Tommy And Marla
Tommy was a hessier from the valley
He was as burned out as a building from the riots
He had a rockin' little girfriend named marla
She was a cocktail waitress at the pit
Sometimes on the weekends they'd ride jetskis
And they'd take a little trailer to the river
They'd bring along a t.v. to watch rick dees
They smoked dope and snorted crystal
Meth
Marla was as skinny as a fence post
And the powder in the baggie made her talk
Sometimes she combed her hair like charlie's angels
Sometimes she looked as weird as mr. spock
Sometimes on the weekends they'd eat fast food
And they'd take his el camino to the desert
They'd ride his motorcycles in the sand dunes
They smoked dope and snorted crystal
Meth
Tommy had a passion for firearms
His confidence they really seemed to bolster
He bought a ninety dollar pistol for his mar-mar
She kept it in her little girlie holster
Sometimes on the weekends they'd be fighting
And tommy thought his girl was telling lies
He thought that she was thumpin' with the bass player
Smoking all his dope and all his crystal
Meth
Then tommy started suffering from delusions
After five nights without any sleep
He rammed his fist through marla's bedroom window
He shoved his car keys through her dirty little teeth
But marla got her fingers on the trigger
She grabbed her little tommy by the hair
The pistol was still smoking on the counter
The sirens were screaming through the air
Scream on and on (no-o-o-o)
Tommy was a hessier from the valley
He's just a memory of his burned-out little world
Marla's doing thirty years for murder
She says she knows she's still his rockin' little girl
Someday up in heaven they'll ride jetskis
They'll scrawl thier names upon the golden wall
And maybe up in heaven they'll watch rick dees
Smoke a little dope and snort some crystal
Meth
4.Now's Not The Right Time For Love
Now's not the right time for love
'cause i'm busy building an igloo in alaska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was redesigning china's political system
And that's not easy
With so many people
With so many mouths
And all that rice
And all those bikes
But don't think twice
But there's so much left to do right here tonight
And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love
Now's not the right time for love
'cause i'm busy building a race track in nebraska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was painting the empire state building
And that's not easy
From the top of the ladder
Standing on the head
Of the statue of liberty
With a high powered spray gun
Across the bay, hon
Well, there's so much left right here that needs to be done
And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-did you really think we'd stay together？
My everchanging moods will shift just like the weather
I got seven phone lines and they're ringing off the hook
Hey, i'm trying to change the world and i got no time to look
for love
And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love
Now's the right for love
'cause i'm busy building an igloo in alaska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was reorganizing the space system for nasa
And that's not easy
With so many monkeys
And all those hot dogs
Floating in the air
Cute guys with crew cuts
Naming stars
But the gravity keeps pulling them back to the bars
And now's not the right time for love
Yeah, now's not the right time for love
Now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love
5.You're So Busy(La La La)
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
I called you twenty-seven times from blythe
While i was out on the road
Your stupid sister always picks up the phone
And says that you're not at home
I drink ensure to try and make me look healthy
But i feel like a lightweight
I try to talk real cool, try to act proud
But i still can't get a date
You're so busy
You're so busy
Now i'm incoherent
Feeling like a loser
You're so busy
You're so busy
Like a single parent
In a nuclear winter
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
You told me my twig was as good as gold
And now i'm feeling real foolish
The ghosts of all my loves are coming back to haunt me
Now it feels really ghoulish
I read 'the art of war' to try to get a battle plan
But i didn't get it
I watch the talk shows and i listen to my therapist
But i still feel like shit
You're so busy
You're so busy
Now i'm incoherent
Feeling like a loser
You're so busy
You're so busy
Like a single parent
In a nuclear winter
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
Maybe if i could just walk on water
Then you couldn't ignore me
Or take a swan dive from twenty-seven stories
Could finally set me free
You give me one touch then you cast me aside
Just like a piece of lumber
Ooh, when i call you up and try to get a date, well you say
'here take a number'
You're so busy
You're so busy
Now i'm incoherent
Feeling like a loser
You're so busy
You're so busy
Like a single parent
In a nuclear winter
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
6.Better Be Careful
I better be careful what i ask for
'cause i been asking for an awful lot, and baby
I better be careful what i look for
'cause i been looking for an awful lot, and baby
I want to trim your leaves, and baby
I want to prune your bush, and baby
I want to marry you, and baby
I want to carry you
And so i drive all around this city
Trying to find something, but there's nothing on the radio
And so i reach deep inside your garden
Wake up and i scream and it must have been a dream
But there's no one there to hear me
I better be careful what i ask for
'cause i been asking for an awful lot, and baby
I better be careful what i look for
'cause i been looking for an awful lot, and baby
I want to trim your leaves, and baby
I want to prune your bush, and baby
I want to marry you, and baby
I want to carry you
Upside-down on a flat horizon
Belly to the sky, got tears in my eye
With a voice like an angel, sweet as maple syrup
You can ride me like a horse, put your foot inside my stirrup
I'll be there to help you up
And we can ride down a long stretch of highway
Mooning all the truckers 'till we end up on a dirt road
Naked to the gods in the middle of the forest
There'll be no one there to bug us and no one there to bore us
I'll build us a house and i'll make it out of toothpicks
Plastic wood and anything that i can touch
A white picket fence with a two car garage
Five band radio and toothpick dogs
'cause you know that i'm allergic
I better be careful what i ask for
'cause i been asking for an awful lot, and baby
I better be careful what i look for
'cause i been looking for an awful lot, and baby
I want to trim your leaves, and baby
I want to prune your bush, and baby
I want to marry you, and baby
I want to carry you
7.Old Lover's House
I drove by my old lover's house last night at three a.m.
Her car was parked next to his so i just honked my horn
But i'm looking for something new
Something like you
And i'm wondering what i should do
Are you in the mood？
Last night i had a fantasy you knocked upon my door
Your lips were so familiar you reached into my core
But i'm looking for something new
Something like you
And i'm wondering what i should do
Are you in the mood？
Yellow street lamps
Light the night
Lonely street corners
Sob and cry
The car is silent
I could hear my thoughts
My belly's full, but my
Heart is not
I fell to my knees in front of the bathroom mirror
My eyes were as hollow as the six o'clock news
But i'm looking for something new
Something like you
And i'm wondering what i should do
Are you in the mood？
I drove by my old lover's house last night at three a.m.
8.Tree Hugger
I'd rather have a shitty girlfriend than a shitty car
If my girlfriend starts to get on my nerves i could travel
really far
I'd rather have a shitty meal than a shitty resume
'cause a totally awesome resume will feed me steak one day
I'd rather have a shitty body than a shitty voice
On my body i could wear some clothes, on my voice i have no
choice
Feed me peas and feed me corn and feed me wild oats
Let's move to the hills together and raise some chicken and
goats
I don't need tofu if i've got you to help me forget those
buggers, oh
We'll forget our differences and live like a couple tree huggers
The earth is so polluted i could never walk barefoot, ouch
On earth day i was going to plant some trees, but i planted my
ass on the couch
I try to eat what's good for me, but i like captain crunch
And an extra large snickers bar with a glass of hawaiian punch
I was going to join an ad hoc committee, but i don't know what
ad hoc means
I think it's a special kind of rock for stone washed denim jeans
Feed me peas and feed me corn and feed me wild oats
Let's move to the hills together and raise some chicken and
goats
I don't need tofu if i've got you to help me forget those
buggers, oh
We'll forget our differences and live like a couple tree huggers
I went to a special school for kids whose parents were catholic
On hot dog day we could wear what we wanted, i always ate four
and got sick
Once i kissed a girl behind the convent and i got really
flustered
I'll never forget the way she smelled, she tasted just like
mustard
Now every time i go to the market and i reach the mustard row
I have to hurry up and leave or my crotch begins to grow
Feed me peas and feed me corn and feed me wild oats
Let's move to the hills together and raise some chicken and
goats
I don't need tofu if i've got you to help me forget those
buggers, oh
We'll forget our differences and live like a couple tree huggers
As a child i was pretty sick, i could make my arm come out of
it's socket
I used to like a girl scout once she put her hand inside of my
pocket
I used to go to church a lot, i was an altar boy
Got to ring the bells at communion time, it gave me special joy
Don't know what i believe in now, i'm filled with foggy guilt
I'm too scared not to believe in god, i never touch myself under
my quilt
Feed me peas and feed me corn and feed me wild oats
Let's move to the hills together and raise some chicken and
goats
I don't need tofu if i've got you to help me forget those
buggers, oh
Every day'll be hot dog day and we'll live like a couple tree
huggers
9.The Girl With The Wandering Eye
Your friend with the subwoofer blew out my tweeter
At that biker party downtown
But that was ok 'cause he borrowed a fuse
From a leather-clad boy in the back
And after the cops and the requisite fight
Me and my friends we fell down for the night
And i made love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
I woke to the sound of a fist on my doorbell
With a headache the size of peru
The landlord was scowling, my baby was toweling off
Beer mixed with blood from the floor
And after the eviction was handed to me
We moved to the trailer park, three by three
And i made love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
I think we're in love
I got a job at the subway downtown
Making sandwiches with plastic gloves
Her mother moved in and we all lived in sin
Playing miniature golf underground
And after the parties the leather-clad boys
Would square dance together and make lots of noise
And i'd make love to the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
I think we're in love
We borrowed a printing press, started a paper
To publish our leftist ideals
We spoke of a new world, the fbi soon heard
The phones were tap dancing too
And after the feds and the requisite fight
We ran from the trailer in the middle of the night
And i had a child with the girl with the wandering eye
Think my baby's got a wandering eye
Think my baby's gong to stay for a while
Ah, divided, unrequited, uninvited
We're short-sighted, but united
In love
I think we're in love
10.Mama
I like carpet and i like grass
I don't know what i'd lay on last
If i had my choice, i'd lay on you
Mama
Oh, mama
I like you, you are free
When we're apart i'm just not me
I'm like a chicken pot pie without the peas
Mama
Oh, mama
I like your car it is fast
I love it in the back when you grab my ass
I want to heat you up like a greasy bowl of chili
My mama, my mama, my mama
Yeah
You're so invigorating
I lose my inspiration
I sit here masturbating
Oh mama, my mama, my mama, my mama
Play it, honcho
I like art, it is fun
In the museum we got to hang us one
I want to hang you up on my wall like a crucifix
Mama, my mama, my mama, my ma-ma-ma-ma-mama
11.Lockjaw
I look outside the sky is grey
And the clouds are filled with rain
It makes me jealous how it opens up and
I'm stuck inside again
I'm like a sitcom polyester family
Inside my t.v.
I'm the boy in the bubble and you
Can't touch me
I'll never open up
I'm never coming out and
I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent hiding in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
I stand in the mirror and i pull my hair out
I can't control my thoughts
I wonder why my eyes are dry as a desert
My stomach's tied in knots
I'm like a freak show sitting on a sidewalk
My outline drawn in chalk, yeah
I freeze every time i hear the phone ring
I'll never hear you knock
I'll never open up
I'm never coming out and
I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent hiding in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
I thumb through magazines to garner love facts
Cosmo's got seven tips
I pick up the phone and i try to call you
No words just frozen lips, yeah
I send a message, but you know it's always cryptic
No sound on my t.v. yeah
I'm the boy in the bubble and you
Can't touch me
I'll never open up
I'm never coming out and
I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent hiding in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
Got lockjaw can't tell you that i love you
Got lockjaw (can't tell you that i love you)
Got lockjaw (can't tell you that i love you)
I love you
12.Suburbia
I'm dancing naked on my street, in my neighborhood
And i just lost my job last week and i'm not feeling good
I think i'll go to hiram's guns and liquor just for fun
And pick me up some whiskey and a shiny new black gun
Go down the road to k-mart for the blue light special hour
And put the barrel to my head, it gives me special power
In suburbia
My wife don't understand me, well she thinks that i'm a louse
She don't understand that there's a mortgage in this house
Her mother won't quit nagging, well she thinks that i'm a slave
I'd like to put a knife in her and send her to the grave
In suburbia
Mommy, daddy, they can't help me anymore
Cousins, uncles, well they shove me out the door
Nobody can stop a man if he's got blinders on
Don't take away the spotlight on this special hour of fun
In suburbia
In suburbia the kids are always screaming half the night
The way they never go to sleep they must be smoking ice
In the morning when you wake up your car stereo's been nicked
It's the yuppie couple's kid next door, he's such a little prick
They say child abuse is bad, in this case i'd say it's legal
I'd like to chain him to his room and set fire to his beagle
In suburbia
Mommy, daddy, they can't help me anymore
Cousins, uncles, well they shove me out the door
Nobody can stop a man if he's got blinders on
Don't take away the spotlight on this special hour of fun
In suburbia
Joe wilson down the road is fucking henry meuller's wife
And now he wants my daughter, i wish they'd stay out of my life
My son just got arrested, he's got pot leaves on his door
His favorite band's the rugburns and he wants a fucking war
In suburbia
Mommy, daddy, they can't help me anymore
Cousins, uncles, well they shove me out the door
Nobody can stop a man if he's got blinders on
Don't take away the spotlight on this special hour of fun
In suburbia
I'm dancing naked on my street, in my neighborhood
And i just lost my job last week and i'm not feeling good
I think i'll go to hiram's guns and liquor just for fun
And pick me up some whiskey and a shiny new black gun
Go down the road to k-mart for the blue light special hour
And put the barrel to my head, it gives me special power
In suburbia
13.Pile On The Hangover
Pile on the hangover just give it to me at once
Let it fall down like a curtain on my brain with a one, two
punch
I know i was an ass and i drank too much, my life's a damn
disgrace
Can't even stand to get up in the morning and look at my peaked
face
The toilet bowl is my best friend, it got handles on the side
Sees my face more than my rear end, that's a fact i cannot hide
Circle-k burritos won't keep that liquor down
I guess i'll save my money and buy another round
Pile on the hangover just give it to me at once
Let it fall down like a curtain on my brain with a one, two
punch
I know i was an ass and i drank too much, my life's a damn
disgrace
Can't even stand to get up in the morning and look at my peaked
face
I drank so much i thought i was god, it barely touched my teeth
I pissed so much my sword was hardly ever in it's sheath
I look at girls and they look at me and then they turn away
I order up another shot and then you'll hear me say
Pile on the hangover just give it to me at once
Let it fall down like a curtain on my brain with a one, two
punch
I know i was an ass and i drank too much, my life's a damn
disgrace
Can't even stand to get up in the morning and look at my peaked
face
Betty ford won't talk to me, she says my life's a waste
In the morning i'd agree with her, but my mouth is full of paste
I turned to god, he laughed at me, said 'hell's to good for you'
Since i've got a special place, guess i'll have another brew
Pile on the hangover just give it to me at once
Let it fall down like a curtain on my brain with a one, two
punch
I know i was an ass and i drank too much, my life's a damn
disgrace
Can't even stand to get up in the morning and look at my peaked
face
Can't even stand to get up in the morning and look at my peaked
face
14.Dirty
Outside the wind is blowing
The waves are crashing fast
There's people running naked
I see a nameless ass
It's soft and pink and fleshy
So tender to the touch
I'll never get to grab it
My timing's never clutch
My ass is much too skinny
My legs are way too thin
I act like such a ninny
I'm all tanked up on gin
My view is so fantastic
I watch you pick your nose
I'm hiding in your bushes
You're taking off your clothes
I'm taking off my clothes
My grey matter
Is wired wrong, well i don't know
I'm on a limb now
I might smell clean, but i suppose
That i'm dirty
I'm so dirty
I flip through scented pages
There's numbers you can call
My hands are slightly shaking
I'm naked in your hall
I'm racing my libido
I'm twitching on the floor
You tell me you're excited
I pay three dollars more
I pay to hear you roar
My grey matter
Is wired wrong, well i don't know
I'm on a limb now
I might smell clean, but i suppose
That i'm dirty
I'm so dirty
I'm sitting in a theater
There's bodies here again
I hear the lustful breathing
The air is filled with sin
I'll fuck, but i won't make love
You can't expect too much
You make my anchor sweaty
I crave your tender touch
I pay for you to touch
My grey matter
Is wired wrong, well i don't know
I'm on a limb now
I might smell clean, but i suppose
That i'm dirty
I'm so dirty
My belly has a hunger
I'm sick and filled with shame
I eat, but i don't get full
I'll never know your name
I'll never know your name
I'll never know your name
I'll never know your name
My grey matter
Is wired wrong, well i don't know
I'm on a limb now
I might smell clean, but i suppose
That i'm dirty
I'm so dirty
I'm so dirty
I'm so dirty
I'm so dirty
15.Morning Song
One, two, three
Sun comes up through the window in the morning
The flowers say hello
I pour cold milk on hot oatmeal
Steam goes up my nose
Toaster bings
Microwave sings
Could i have another
Cup of java, honey, baby, darling, sugar lumps？
Ah, honey, baby, darling, sugar bumps？
Shower feels nice and warm
On my little bitty tootsies
The shower makes me sing just like ritchie valens
Oh, could you, could you, could you, join me？
Hand me that towel, stop playing around
What are you doing there on the ground？
Barking like an afghanistan lap dog
At the race track, come towards me, baby
Good morning, america
Good evening, siberia
Is that a fax coming in？
From rajavic, iceland, ah-ooh
Must be cold
And i see the ocean out there
It must be cold
Let's crawl back in bed
Let's crawl back in bed
Let's crawl back in bed
Mmm-mmm
16.Your Ghost
Last night i looked for you
But, you could not be found
I felt your ghost in my room
Dancing all around
And i tried to talk to you
But, there was no reply
I sat up shaking in my bed
And then i cried
I can't explain it
There's so much i could say to you
And so much is left unsaid
And there's nothing i can do
Nothing i can do
I played your song last night
And drank down my last beer
'skyway' by westerberg
But, you weren't there to hear
And i thought i saw an angel
With you in the back
But, when they turned the lights down
Everything went black
I thought of your mom and dad
In your hometown
And your lovely sister
And it slowly brought me down
Only brought me down
I think of your sweet smile
And how perfectly it fit
To you the world was a cookie jar
And you had your hand in it
And i wish that i could take
All the guns in this sick place
And melt them into coins
And buy compassion for the human race
And i know it sounds cliche
But, i'm tired of this violence
And the view is much different
When your inside of the fence
And i'm on this side of this sick fence
Last night i looked for you
But, you could not be found
I felt your ghost in my room
Dancing all around
And i tried to talk to you
But, there was no reply
I sat up shaking in my bed
And then i cried
I sat up shaking in my bed
17.I Hate Fuckin' Christmas
Dashing through the snow
I hate fuckin' christmas
Seems like it's one big 'have to do'
Seems like everybody that you meet on the street
Has been singin 'halle-fuckin'-lujah'
Well, the mistletoe on the ceiling really
Makes me wanna do ya
Christmas it's so hard to find cocaine
Now it seems i can't get outta bed
All those dickheads in their white shirts on my t.v.
Singin' 'please don't drink and drive'
Well, that's pretty good advice
'cause ya just might spill your drink
Christmas, it's the time for stealing presents
Out from underneath your neighbor's tree
Look's like little johnny just won't get his
Teeneage mutant ninja turtle
Well, i'd better wear a rubber
'cause that turtle might be fertile
Today i think i'll screw my brother's girlfriend
All he ever does is go to work
When he goes downtown to buy the
Dead bird, who's the fuckin' turkey？
I hate fuckin' christmas
