1.Fingers Never Bleed
All alone, a boring job
Mincing words to fall asleep
Expertise on air guitar
So your fingers never bleed
I know you think you could do this without me
But I know I could do without you
Failed ambitions held up on a trident
Hope predictions of future come true
All the tin can buildings rattle the sidewalk
All the cars upturned talk like the trains
Ten thousand red balloons over New York
Hope the bridges all burn your life away
So you banned a friend from ..
Took the marrow from disease
White collar criminal
So his fingers never bleed
I know you think you could do this without me
But I know I could do without you
Failed ambitions held up on tridents
Hope predictions of future come true
All the tin can buildings rattle the sidewalk
All the cars upturned talk like the trains
Ten thousand red balloons over New York
Hope the bridges all burn your life away
2.Longevity
I'm a ... if I go soft in their face
Just like the old days
Golden sea plane,
dollar to ...take
Been, what about again
At time I play the yellow night
Found oysters on the beach
I'm dressed from the waist
Whoa, the rain promises
To give life to the seas, sea
Live, in the moment,
never count on longevity
Please
Ribbons showing, very, play real on our skin
Away...mean
It's so ... before left all my ...
Taste, my lovely space case
At time I play the yellow night
Found oysters on the beach
I'm dressed from the waist
Whoa, the rain promises
To give life to the seas, sea
Live, in the moment,
never count on longevity Please.
3.Blue Paper
She used to clean up nicely, play dress up
Now she's throwing her clothes away, says she needs the added
space
She used to walk on concrete, now the sidewalk
Isn't green enough for her, says she misses Mother Earth
She keeps on telling me, i'm not made for this
So they never give you the time of day but do you really care
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you're finished up with the finer life of trawlers
and yet
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you can't find the time to figure out you left
ammends
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you want peace and quiet but could you really stand
Before your halcyon days were numbered
Make a move become tax exiles, in the desert
You don't choke on the winter's end, and the sky isn't hidden
there
You don't need to leave the house when, it's a palace
And there's no one to offend, take a walk every now and then
She keeps on telling me, i'm not made for this
So they never give you the time of day but do you really care
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you're finished up with the finer life of trawlers
and yet
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you can't find the time to figure out you left
ammends
Oh no, i don't buy it for a second
Now you say you want peace and quiet but could you really stand
Before your halcyon days were numbered, that's another, whole
problem
Turn me on your mirror
The other side looks clearer
Write it on blue paper
Think about it later
Turn me on your mirror
The other side looks clearer
Write it on blue paper
Think about it later
4.Henrietta
Fever in the night, and the tremors come on
But it's you who'll survive, just like nobody thought
Nails turnin' red, lying cold on the bed
And now it turns out, death's not the end
She was a bone, we sharpened our teeth
A magnificent drone, was serving under our feet
You'll be making me rich, he'll throw you away
And after he's gone, oh HeLa's here to stay
Radiation makes you weak, tried okays leave your speech
The world owes more than they'll pay, in the wind I heard them
say...
Ohhhhhhh Henrietta, we can live on forever...
5.Devil And The Deed
I won't act until she's gone the way of violence
Stare at pictures that I'm hiding in their attic
How do you know,
How could you have another?
There's a man who got caught in a trick match
And I never see her lips being kissed on
How do you know,
How could you have another?
Maybe now it's harder
If it was 40 years ago
I would need it to sleep over
Between the devil and the deed
But I can't live without
her, I got nothing else
I could never let
her get out of my hands
You could never handle if she was into magic
You could never stand it if she couldn't speak your language
She wouldn't like this again, mistaken for your whole plan
Shake it at your big fat head
Maybe here it's harder
And it's a backwards country
Where you need to sleep together
I'm between the devil and the deed
6.No Bones
My mind is a colour to get out my mouth
My tongue is a pill that i can't spit out
Make no bones, about it
We're older now, than i like to admit
My midnight image casts no shadow
An overturned city as our grass will grow(?)
Make no bones, about it
We're older now, than i like to admit
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Each steps on a snake fills my lungs(?)
Allison, my slip of the tongue
No thoughts no turning back i
She knows me better than i
No blots no semen it's energy wasted
Make no bones, about it
We're older now, than i like to admit
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time
Suppose it's the right time...
7.Reagan's Skeleton
Down in a hole outside of Ventura
low and behold, found beauty
I said i've never seen a red head come boast just like that
She said outside, got something to see
We walked a quiet road for miles at first
Couldn't see a thing
Rattle from the dark, chills up my spine
Coming from the trees oh
That's Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies of undead
That's Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies in a fog eternally
Musta passed out when i came to i'm tied up
To my surprise, by the young lady
And as her face grew sick her nails tore out my heart
Blood trickled down, economically
The laughter from the dark was low at first
But what came could call for me
I recognise the stench of burning flesh
As they began to feed oh
On Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies of undead
That's Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies in a fog eternally
Gawker, horror, what an awful way to fall in love
Gawker, horror, what an awful way to fall in love
That's Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies of undead
That's Reagan's skeleton, in the moonlight
Don't fear the red eyes, fear the satellite overhead
That's Reagan's skeleton, marching our way
Sentimental violence, leading his armies in a fog eternally
8.Demon Road
I don't believe in much
I know that it's a problem
Like being romantic
I've never been no good at bringing flowers to you
I don't believe in faith
Somehow I never bought it
There's good news on my plate
But I'm just waiting patiently for nasty weather
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into
I don't believe in much
I know that it's a problem
Like being romantic
I've never been no good at bringing flowers to you
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into x2
I don't believe in much
I know that it might hurt you
Like being home on time
I've never been no good at getting home on time
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into
All hell is gunna break loose
Find out what I'm into x3
9.Damaged Goods
Her eyes are waiting
This calls to panels sustained brown(?)
Everyone's tiring
September thudding quickens with a serious slope(?)
We're in it together but no one pulls
As soon as the circus disappears
Damaged goods, damaged goods
The saints only preach when the coast is clear
Damaged goods, damaged goods
The lines in your palm shouldn't give you grief
Damaged goods, damaged goods
And quickly the bloom on the rose does leave
Damaged goods, damaged goods
No matter what he thought she was
No matter what he thought she was before
Professional, a working stiff
It's over now, damaged goods
As soon as the circus disappears
Damaged goods, damaged goods
The saints only preach when the coast is clear
Damaged goods, damaged goods
The lines in your palm shouldn't give you grief
Damaged goods, damaged goods
And quickly the bloom on the rose does leave
Damaged goods, damaged goods
No doubts, no doubts
What's done is done
No doubts, no doubts
What's done is done
No doubts, no doubts
What's done is done
10.Folk Hero Shtick
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Turn it up Ringmaster your final lullaby
Let's see how your genius is fully realised
The Emperor's standing naked, how much longer, can he fake it
All night, repeat it ten times we've, we've got it
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be
blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
Darling of every muse or, fair weather friend
Prance around amphitheaters in your swelled head
Smoke clears and mirrors shatter, a bargain Broadway, mock Mad
Hatter
Pack it in, please pack it in now, i've got this
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be
blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention
11.Glass Of The Microscope
Yesterday was nice
And today looked fine
And we're glad the sky opened up
The moon came crashing down
I wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
Wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
But in truth we're doomed
Consumed by all the truck fumes
That would kill you without uttering a sound
In truth we're doomed
Entombed by the spills the wicked law men and the benzene
underground
The architecture ruining this town
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Over and over
Over again
I wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
Wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
But in truth we're doomed
Consumed by all the truck fumes
That would kill you without uttering a sound
In truth we're doomed
Entombed by the spills the wicked law men and the benzene
underground
The architecture ruining this town
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Tilt your head back, don't choke
Under the glass of the microscope
Over and over
Over again
