Am I gonna be alright?
No, I'm not gonna be alright nothin' is alright now am i gonna see the sun come up? or am i goin' down? 'cause everyday i'm here all i feel is sheer agony Friends tellin' me that maybe i need some pychiatric help yeah, they're always so quick to tell you just how to get on with it I look into the mirror and all i see is ancient fear and agony If i could just remember what it was like when i was younger oh, the joy and happiness replaced with hunger and all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow is agony |

When I was born
The doctor said There's something wrong Inside that baby head When I was a boy In Sunday school I told them all That they were fools All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see And so it goes I went into The fortune teller's She wouldn't read My horoscope I go into The laundromat The people all Buy extra soap All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see |

I don't miss where I came from
But each night I dream about being back home When I wake up in the morning I'm too tired, tired of being alone So I get up and go downtown And pick me out a little piece of ground Where I can prove something to the world I can prove something to the world Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Daddy put us in the truck and Dropped us off and said good luck, then One lucky kid waiting for the bus Made a winner out of one of us Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Going down by the railroad tracks, where People know that they better not relax I'm the man, baby, I am the man This is where I can make you understand I'm the bus stop boxer Don't look at me X2 |

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that I can believe We had a window, not open too long But that time is good and gone And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies Sit on the back porch and wonder bout her What is she doing right now? Making somebody a happier man Dying her hair back to brown Once in a while your life gets so good Worth all the trouble of the past That was the case but I think I always knew Good things don't ever last And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies I like a girl with a dirty mouth Know that I can trust her We had our time but it didn't last too long And that time is good and gone That time is good and gone |

FASHION AWARDS
Let’s go down to the fashion show With all the pretty people that you don’t know We’ll sit down in the velvet chairs They’ll hand awards out for best hair And if we don’t win one, well, then We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair I smell magic in the room Flashing lights and sonic booms Lovely saps all without a care Nobody said that the world was fair And if they did say so, well, then We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair .. Let’s go down to the fashion show With all the pretty people and piles of blow We’ll sit down in the velvet chairs And hang on tight to our bus fare And if it falls between the seats We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair .. |

If you're scared of dying you better
not be scared to live. I've been spending all my days giving all I can give. Last night I heard someone walking through my bedroom door. What they want I'm not exactly sure. Chorus: A friendly ghost, is all I need. (x2) Working time on a broken watch, countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone and everyone's gonna leave me alone. Two times I thought I heard someone knocking on the glass. I hit my head and prayed that it would last. Chorus If you're scared of dying you better not be scared to live. I've been carrying round a grudge, I think I better forgive Last night I heard footsteps walking on the attic floor. Got up and I opened up the door. Chorus If you're scared of dying you better not be scared to live. I've been spending all my days giving all I can give. |

So you've got balls now
Murray on the run Down on Newberry Street Seventeen seconds of fun Apes are overrated blocky A kinky batch of pudding, yay Garbage dump, pumpkin rot And candy apple gray Werewolf in the flowerbed Perfect day for lucky guy This song was never meant to be released What's that flaming ball in the sky? The crackhead from Texas He can read my feet A bruised pinata And a liquid pixie If friends were flowers Nothing gold can stay Gun-sexual sense And squeegee tails Bees in the cookie jar Symphonic despair Reinventing the manifesto Are you? We don't care Jacuzzis and bunnies A broken fondue set Koool G is in the outhouse You can be my Mr. French This old Frisbee Is shitting in the alley I saw a naked picture of me on the Internet Wearing Jesus' new snowshoes Golly gee If Hell is crowded, then we shall sing A hip song for the kids in the back For Michelle and the dripping of a faucet Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks Olympic mayonnaise Doctor Thunder Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts With Hollywood suspicion The doctor had snake hearts |

I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry I like the sea-side And singing songs that make you not wanna die Throw a stone into the sea And wait for it to come back to me Better get out on the boat Cos' someone told me that stones don't float I like to sit out back And look up at the squirrels in the trees They don't like radio tracks And they don't ever talk down to me Throw a nut up in the tree Gonna fall right back on me Well these guys know who they are And what they needs in their own backyard Whoo-ooh Whoo-ooh I like to play in the snow I stick my hand in, now where did it go? It might be mighty cold But that's all part of not doing what you're told |

Mama had a epidural
hoping I would be a girl. The night was black, the sky was booming the darker clouds were surely looming I heard screaming, the doctor shouts, and baby, then.. I came out. And here I am. found my way, down the street. Chicken Hawks, favorite meat The man was big, the gun was loaded, he had cash, but never showed it, I heard screamin', bleeding throat and baby I got on that boat. And here I am. Now im up here in the trees shaking off the bugs and fleas the days are long, the sun is beatin' each day i don't die is cheating Send me some lovin' Send me some lovin' Send it now Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph |

NUMBERED DAYS
Daisy I never thought I’d go Crazy But I never thought you so Until now that I see All the crazy things you’re doing Why you wanna ruin it and me? Counting numbered days.. Lately I think you know it’s true That’s it It’s all over, I’m through For a while we can smile For the people that we’re passing And even if they’re asking We can lie Counting numbered days.. .. Looks like the sun is gonna set Know that there’s nothing I regret All the things that I learned Well, I’d like to think I earned it No need to go and burn it down now Counting numbered days Counting numbered days.. |

Woman driving, man sleeping.
Wear the suitcase on the rack. White lines shooting by, on the pavement like the sky. Looking straight ahead, into the black. Woman driving, man sleeping. There's no radio to play. Sitting with the map, laying crumpled on her lap. Looking for the toll money to pay. *Man sleeping is man dreaming, in a large apartment house. Walking and knocking on doors. Woman driving, man sleeping. Passin' all the other cars. Searching in the black, but never turning to look back. A little metal box under the stars. * Repeat Woman driving, man sleeping. (x2) |

Baby I confess I am quite a mess So let's get married and make some people More than equal in this world of shit I will make a pledge To get down off the ledge You and I belong together And forever we will have our love |
