I got a catholic block
inside my head
i let it go to work
bring it all back home

it serves you right
and i can motor down
you got to earn your freedom
get it on my own

i just live forever
there just is no end
i just trust the oppression
like i trust your friends

i got a catholic block
inside my head
i let it play around
iron to gold

i got a catholic block it's around my head
i got a catholic block it's blood orange red
i got a catholic block do you like to fuck?
i got a catholic block i guess i'm out of luck

I can never forget you

they move a world and love you
you're blasting the underworld

i stick a knife in my head
a-thinking 'bout your eyes
but now that you been shot dead
i got a new surprise

but i been waitin' for you just to say

but all i know is you got no money
but that's got nothing to do with a good time

can you forgive the boy who
shot you in the head
or should you get a gun and
go and get revenge?

a 100% of my love
up to you true star
it's hard to believe you took off
i always thought you'd go far

but i been around the world a million times
and all you men are slime

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says let's go on high
(later, priestoid)

Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now

Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now) ??
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy sin
(yeh spit it out now)

Every time she sings that low song
Every time I know I'm right/wrong

Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(like what now)
Hope, I hope you like
Like you like yr hope
With the tightest rope
(i see, i know)

Here we go, I been waiting so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze

There's something in the air there
Makes you go insane
Brings you back to me
It's been so long
All that i have to do
Is live along
It's coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How we used to be
Beauty lies

In the eyes of anothers dreams
Beauty lies
Lost in anothers dream
It's coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How it used to be

Hey fox come here

A-back in the days when the battles raged
and we thought it was nothing
the bookstore man is the CIA
and we know
throw me a cord and plug it in
to get the Cradle rocking
and out with the redneck [?] men [?] [red that get open???]
and let's go

a hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
memories in the shadow
back in time again

but i can't forget your terrorized face
when you cried for the shameless
wasted life Ameri-K-K-Kan
and you smiled
so why should we run when we cannot hide
and my flag it's burning
we could be wrong but that's allright
we'll rise again

a hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
our memories in the shadow
it's back in town again

look in a way it's another day
and of course we love you
radical man is the CIA
and we say no
we'll round up the Durham H.C. kids
and the Char Grill Killers
Jesse H. come into our pit
all ages show

a hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
our memories in the shadow
it's back in time again

1989, The Bridge: Neil Young tribute, Caroline Records (1374/KAR002, US)

[Thurston]
cars are trucks
they got me on the corner
but I'm alright
standing proud before the signal
when I see the light
I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you
or else we just don't see the others

find some pants
... on the desert (?)
but I'm alright
standing out here in the hot sun
when I see the light
I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you
or else we just don't see the others

precious metal lies
... into the highway... (?)
days and night
weeks and months and seasons
rolling through me (?)

I need you
like .... a heartbeat
....
....
....
.... mirror
and ....
....

describe the touch, no it's the thought
it's warm and yellow and has a ruffle
it's warm and yellow and...
he's so quiet i forgot he's there
and i think here i am.
????oh alice, come back he's just a kitten...
he's just a kitten????
a thousand leaves for your disguise fall on
the sky and looking up from down is a sea to
realize the leaves are falling up and down
up and round.
and this is from my heart to you
a crazy wind will stir me too and contre de la
sexisme
i am with you.

If you could give me anything
Would you consider a fist
Don't give me your soul
It's caught in the abyss
Here's a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonderless
A dream is a wish your heart desires
Cinderella is a kiss
The cold is gonna take you
Freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near

I'd like to crawl inside you
But you got no sense of time
I'd like to crawl inside you
But I'm scared that I'm gonna cry

time to rock the road - and tell the story of the jelly rollin'
dirty boots are on - hi di ho
pinking out the black - dreaming in a crack
Satan got her tongue - now it's undone
I got some dirty boots - yeah dirty boots
I got some dirty boots - baby

seems to have a new - kind of same
been it playing on a - simple rhyme
the site comes alive and - speaks the mind
it turns to me and - it turns to gold
it turns to see a - the fast lane slow

it's been a way too long
it's been the way I gone
it's a-coasting on
to the west star

looking out I thought I - saw it blink
coming on to me - like a silver eye
pick it up and - turn it on and
head on out to a - western starland

it's been a man and gone
now it's a singing song
like a western star
it's going my way

looking out I'm back in - time to stay
into the eastern - silent way
comes alive through - through and clearer
ghost arise to - dirty mirror

you've been away too long
it's been way too long
an eastern star is on
a disappearer

take one, to come
doctor's orders, no more borders
take one, make some
feeling bolder, no more disorder
mother's not to blame
she's feeling no pain
doesn't feel the drain
she says it's not her brain
all right, no wrong
she used to be cleanin', now she's just dreamin'
she's right, you're wrong
she thinks it's the weather, feels light as a feather
mother's such a mess
she forgets how to dress
she thinks she's lookin' her best
she's no longer depressed
take one, bake one
used to be tragic, now it's like magic
just one, for fun
mother's new pet, it's not hard to get
mother came home today
wearing a big bouquet
she threw her self away
she's taking up spanish ole

Single fold sick insert design in junk
Grocery bag sleeve all the colors drunk
Texts of confusion and joy
Pink plastic pressing for bratfink

That's right
He's gone
Wrapped up
Chiffon

Sealed tight
Hung up
Street mouth
Sad pup

Shards of sweet shine of voice and flute
Street mouth decodes the blue sking
Dude
Girlfriends will love the way we clip
Our split release on the thrashman

On top
A drop
Fake blood
Fresh mud

They're gone
For good
Except
This one

Howling scriptures to the mother earth
O mother Africa awake your son
To all the mommas with the money eyes
This kind of love comes as no surprise

Caught shadow
In sex meadow

Little darlings describe the scene
Purring notions of the dripping dream
We've been searching for the cream dream wax
Lathe killers make the meters crack

Caught shadow
In sex meadow

Purring notions of the dripping dream
The kinda girls with the money eyes
Howling scriptures to the mother earth
O mother Africa awake your son

Caught shadow
In sex meadow

Little darlings describe the scene
To all the mommas with the money eyes
Purring notions of the dripping dream
This kinda love comes in any size

Sensation shaking us from sleep
Hey Ethiopia were free
The dripping dream in cream-o-wax
Disk drops from yr hand and it cracks

Smile like a sun
back over time
crazy on you
pleasure is mine
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?

here come through it
giving it up
going too far
try understand
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?

whisper kiss me here
i'll tell you what i fear
whisper kisses up here
i'll tell you what i fear

come on home
just ain't fair
name of rock'n'roll
where love dies
couldn't find a soul
tell it like it is
deep down inside
drunken butterfly
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?
i love you i love you i love you
what's your name?

Keep on running in the dark
Dude ranch dream has fallen apart
Stolen kisses let's pretend my friend
You play sick and I will mend
Let the action begin again
You be patient and I'll attend
Let's rehearse let's do it again
Dude ranch nurse yr brand new friend

Let nurse give you a shot
It's something to do
Took my pulse
Let nurse give you a shot
It's something to do
I could love you
I could have you
Deep sleep coming along
Like a newborn colt you found
I'll wrap it around with gauze
Dizzy reminder
Ouch, you found
Let nurse give you a shot
Don't sleep too long

You be cowboy and I'll allow
Let me ride you till you fall
Let's pretend there's nothing at all
Nobody knows the shape I'm in
Kiss me now it's just a sin
Nobody knows the shape I'm in

You go to my head.......

Mention of you.......

The very mention of you........

You go to my head........

Yeah, that's right now...

Right...

Okay, okay, I'm sorry...
I did go in there
And I did eat their porridge
And I sat in the chairs
The three chairs
And um, I did break a chair
And um, then I...
I went upstairs, I was feeling really tired
And there are these three beds there
And I laid down on one bed and it was too high
It was just too high...
So then, I um, you know, this ain't a big deal
I went and I laid in the middle-sized bed
And it was too soft
And I was so tired
And I got up and I went to the little bed
And I laid down
And you know it was just right...
And you know, I just fell asleep
And uh...
I'm sleeping
And then, like, suddenly
Somebody wakes me up
And they say "what are you doing in my bed?"
And I just got up and... I...
I just bolted
You know...
It just wasn't cool to say that
And I went to the forest so fast
And I never think back

1988, Fast 'N' Bulbous - A Tribute To Captain Beefheart, Imaginary Records
(Illusion 002)
Notes: Captain Beefheart cover

[Lee]
me to you to me
thunderbolts caught easily
shouting truth peacefully
electricity

(turn it up)

high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
though it's too bright find the light I know that friends don't mind-
just how you glow
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to free
seek electricity seek electricity
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to free
seek electricity seek electricity

lighthouse beacon straight ahead straight ahead across black sea to bring
seeking electricity

high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
you are a shallow deed
high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their insanity
you are insanity

seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity-
seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity
seek electricity seek electricity

electricity

hatred
i hate the past

i can't see anything at all, all ii see is me
that's clear enough
and that's whats important, to see me

my eyes can focus
my brain is talking
looks preety good to me
my head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
looks pretty good to me

sometimes i speak
tonight there's nothing to say
sometimes we freak
and laugh all day

hold these pages up to the light
see the jacknife inside of the dream
a railroad runs through the record store at night
coming in for the deep freeze

mary, a simple word, are you there in the country?
your eyes so full, your head so tight
can't you hear me?
remember out talk
that day on the phone?
i was the door, and you were the station
with shattered glass and miles between us
we still flew away in the conversation

my cup is full, and I feel okay
the world is dull, but not today

she think's she's a goddess
she says she talks to the spirits
i wonder if she can talk to herself?
if she can bear to hear it?

this is eric's trip
we've all come to watch him slip
he's slipping all the way to texas
can you dig it?

eric says 'the sky is blue'
i see with a glass eye
the pavement view
a shadow forming, across the fields rushing
thru me to you

we tore down the world, and put up four walls
i breathe in myth
i'm over the city, fucking the future
i'm high and inside your kiss

we can't see clearly
but what we see is alright
we make up what we can't hear
and then we sing all night

scattered pages and shattered lights
a jackknife and a dream
there's something moving over there on the right
like nothing I've never seen

Hatred
I hate the past
I can't see anything at all, all i see is me
That's clear enough
And that's whats important, to see me
My eyes can focus
My brain is talking
Looks pretty good to me
My head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
Looks pretty good to me
Sometimes i speak
Tonight there's nothing to say
Sometimes we freak
And laugh all day
Hold these pages up to the light
See the jacknife inside of the dream

Coming in for the deep freeze
Mary: a simple word, are you there in the country?
Yr eyes so full, yr head so tight

We can't see clear
But what we see is a alright
We make up what we can't hear

i wanna serve you down
while my mind is on the ground
i wanna move your switch

my desiring machine

now i'll turn the dial
and i'll put you ina pile
modern women cry
modern women don't cry

touch the fire in the rain and
see the children
stop their play and
look for shelter
in the garden of their

i believe
perfection is a

i can't melt my head to what you're
whisked away to light the bomb a
thousand leaves are left to stay and...

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go

(thurston)

In a free lane
Ghosts passing time
Heat rises
Lights thru the town
Blown soundscapes
Blue city eyes
Black lightning
New angel flies

Make a free line
To the northern sky
Holy rain falls
Ghosts burn to shine
Elevator
Reach for the light
Intuition
Free city rhymes

free time, free time
I have got it gonna get me some
free time, free time
I would spend it forever captivated
free time, free time
would you tell me the secret of yr arm
free time, free time
forever fabulastic, blowup, pleasuristic
I feel combustible
that's my will say it all
mille feuille
mille feuille
mille feuille
now you better take a deep breath
the smell is just the best
i'll transform even yr breast
you are my new weekend guest
I can't believe this could happen to me
caught inside someone's knee
free time, free time
uncovered forever barest endeavor
free time, free time
if you want me splash me forever
free time, free time
let it happen the leisure, enchanting
free time, free time
yr neck is my favorite pleeze don't spare it
I feel combustible that's my will, say it all
now you better cough up the dough
if you want to join the show
exotique is not for free
spend wisely eternity
engine of desire is on the road
don't get stuck without a job
free time, free time
you have got it gonna get me some
free time, free time
wandering, fantastic, sparkling demanded
free time, free time
did I mention that you control me
free time, free time
the merest endeavor slightly forever
mille feuille
mille feuille
mille feuille
mille feuille

Let me tell you every thought that I've come to
When I think of all the things that you do
I can't see if you're the only one, it's hard to say
And I think it's all the same to me today

I can see you too
If I can just see you this one time
I sit alone everyone's at home
I see it, I believe
Somehow I know it's true
Your genetic kiss to me
I live inside of you

I have heard it said before it'll never happen
Had it drilled in since a kid it makes my head spin
I'm still looking for these thing that I can't find
Thought just come and go swirling through my mind

I see me and you
Then it's him, I'm thinking of
We sit alone, no one else at home
I taste it, I feel
And now I know it's true
Your genetic kiss reveals
I'll always be with you

Hey baby, it's you I'm thinking of
Hey baby, who do you love?
Don't worry baby, I'm watching them as you sleep
Let me whisper, some things for you to keep

There's no perfect idea
There's no perfect fate
Just little stabs of happiness
Sometimes a little too late

So keep your eyes wide open
And know what you're made of
Remember first thought, best thought
Try to stay in love

[Kim]
close your eyes, make a wish
cross yourself, see yourself
feel yourself, scream once more
move yourself, across the floor
burn inside, between two walls

the advertisement's saying, that pleasure's ever lasting
must be dead and gone to heaven come touch me
so I know that I'm not there

My violence is a dream
A 'real dream'
A skinny arm
A crush on living sin
My violence
Is a sleeping head
Nodding out to rising bliss
I left home for experience
Carved 'suk for honesty' on my chest
My violence is the number
Coming out of prayer
ABOVE TO VISIT OUR SPONSORS

Find it in the father
Find it in a girl

There's a thing in my memory
Hoilding on for dear life
With a feeling of secrets
Beating up under my flesh
My tongue is tied
I'm sleeping nights awake
Tom violence is a dream
Coming out of a girl

never gonna ya do it
a world below
heather angel you are somewhere
on the show
don't you think you would find
where to go
I want to go dancing on the other side
I want to buy a phonograph
but the money's gone
he bought books and records
I don't care about that
I just want to be alive
and go to the other...
I don't want money or books
have to decide
passive
and you were shot in the name of it
and then you'd see yeh, yeh
then you'd see
the relationship
and walking I see you in the clouds
and I fall for
I would fall for you
I would...
forever
goodbye, bye
goodbye
and that is all
STOP STOP

these times can't add up
yr life is such a mess
forget the past, and just say yes

to see you through?
In this broken town can you still jack in
and know what to do?

we took some steps and now
we can't think twice

Tell me how yr gonna lose this hard luck?
Hey Joni, when will all these dreams come true?
You'd better find a way
to climb down off that truck

shots ring out from the center of an empty field
Joni's in the tall grass
she's a beautiful mental jukebox
a sailboat explosion
a snap of electric whipcrack

she's not thinking about the future
She's not spinning her wheels
she doesn't think at all about the past
she thinking long and hard
about that high wild sound
and wondering will it last?

Kick it

my head burns, but I know you'll speak the truth, hey!

today i
said goodbye
to my conflicted goddess
her lush eyes
show surprise
at how we could gather knowledge
the painting has a dream
where shadow breaks the scene
and the colors run off
blue is bashful
green is my goal
yellow girls are running backwards
until the nextime
with six hits of sunshine
the lights will blind up with blues in haiku
the shadow has a dream
where painters look to sea
the colors burn out
now i know where
i once saw you
stepping into muddy water
john's reflection
decried perfection
now you walk him through the gardren
waiting in the wings
painters shade their dreams
with falling colors
see me wave good
bye forever
happiness the goddess lover
hurry back re
member last time
the hits of sunshine
the hits of goldmine
i'll see you back tonite
where painters love the light
and yellow shadow girls
today i
say goodbye
to my complicious goddess
her hushed eyes
show surprise
and how we captured knowledge
i'll see you back tonite
where shadows dream of light
let's slip on outside

I put my feet deep in the tracks that you made
walked behind you off into the wood
????We'll know where when we get there' you said
And we both knew we would
high above like a spider
the colors turning brown
freeways passing by us
I took yr hand and we knelt down
wheels paddle wheels paddle movement as we go
trees passing trees passing signs along the road
a view thru the trees to a couple in the snow
a view thru the trees to a couple standing in
the snow
Suddenly the trees were flashing by us
Clouds reflecting fast across your eyes
We turned into a frozen medow
The wind the only sound
????We'll know where when we get there' you said
????We'll know where when we get there' you said

in my circulation
i'm a mating rhythm
sick with electricion
nazi operation
devestation

wire up a radio
and i am a mating rhythm
wire up the radio
turn the terror and find my limit

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

like this

i feel now?

they're movin' in
pull the zipper
it's sliding up
i don't have a reason
honey for your best man

wire up a radio
and i am a beating rhythm
wire up for the radio
turn the terror an'

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

like this

a kicking in the nightshifts
greasing up/a teasing of my fingertips
i think you'll find us
anybody's title???
got my eyes on the controls
turned on let's go

wire up the radio
and i am a mating rhythm
wire up for the radio
turn the treble and fight my limit

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

like this

I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone

Now what can you tell them and what can you say
That won't make them defensive

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I tell them
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

Now how can I tell them
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
A-doo-bee-doo-bay

Dead boy stares
Strange to meet you
Dead boy cares
So great to see you

Is it time to go
It's a place I know
I can't read your mind
I can't find the time
I can't feel the thrill
I don't have the will

Dead boy dares
Believe in you
Dead boy stares
Afraid that you will see him

Is it time to go
Is it a place I know
I can't read your mind
I can't find the time
I can't feel the thrill
I don't have the will

I love you
A metallic blue
I love you
Golden blue
I miss you
Shine all alone
I miss you

Don't know what to do
I don't glitter like the stars above
I don't glow like neon alone
Don't blush it's just the wind outside
Don't rush to be by my side

<i>[Lee]</i>
They were

Aaaah
He did what he had to do
He asked no questions
He had few conversations
The tar glistens in the noon heat
He tread across the grass, up onto, and down off of, the concrete abutments

Mirage on the highway
Ghosts in the tunnel
The dark cave

Out into the blinding light of day at breakneck speed
Every bolt rumbling

Glistening highway mirage groans
The slick surface
Careening into first the small mammal, and then screeching along the guard
Rail, scraping paint and throwing sparks like sheets of pure terror for
400 yards
Over and over

With one final back and forth rocking motion coming to rest
Wheeehah

The beautiful paintjob hopelessly marred

Smoke and flames

Allright
So nice
He moved to the small creature
Screeching whistles of steam blowing off
On it's back, wheels spinning like a cinema classic
The door sags open and a man covered in blood drops the three feet or so to
The pavement
The car still rattling and shaking as if with a mind of it's own, unwilling
To die
The man, 40ish, also after a time, an agonisingly painful period of time

Is also unwilling to die

Suddenly all is quite quiet there in the sunlight on the highway
But what? what can I do?
I cannot move, everything is about broken
Blood everywhere, mixing with oil and gas
What's moving, must turn my head
Pain, white light, blinded
Some guy there kneeling in the blinded mirage of white light
All my strength to 'heeeeeelp'
Screaming now help me please
He tried to tamp out the bit of burning ember which had lept from the wreck
Onto his grimy coatsleeve
Coughing blood
What's happen?
He's he's inching towards truth
He strode of into the woods with the animal
It still lived
He didn't glance back at all

Still out ghosting the road
Death on the highway
Words crumble around me and fall with the weight of heaven
I cannot move
I'm beneath the great weight
I cannot see
My eyes are blinded
I am in the darkness

That's it

{very low in the mix}
In panic I forget it
In despair I need it
In my mind I save it
In death I have it
{then a bit louder}
In panic I forget it
In despair I need it

I shouldn't laugh
Hah hah hah
Yeah really
Oh

In panic I forget it
In despair I need it
In my mind I save it
In death I have it
<i>[Thurston?]</i>

Replaced it with a grenade blast

Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate

The firefighters hose me down
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's four-alarm girl, nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me
You doused my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain

Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate

The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice
The flames are licking at your feet
The sirens come to put me out of misery
You wave your torch into my eyes
Flamethrower lover burning mind

What have I got that makes you want to love me
Is it my body or someone I might be or something aside me?
Tell me, tell me, it's really up to you

Have you got the time to find out who I really am?
Oh aw

What does it take to get inside your mind
Give me your brain and take a chance with my first time
Tell me, tell me, it's really up to you

Have you got the time to find out who I really am?
Ohh no



What have I got that makes you want to love me
Is it my body or someone I might be or something aside me?
Tell me, tell me, it's really up to you

Have you got the time to find out who I really am
Oh aw

Oh aw oh aah uh aah uh ahh uh uhh
Come baby
Alice, come on, come on, come on, come baby
Come on

Blasted Earth, om immersed.
Gold in cave, the blondes come first.

I love the way you move.
I hope it's not too late for me.
It's too good on the sea,
Where the light is green,
Where the light is green.

Jagged brain, slow refrain.
We love the jams, and jams run free.

I love the way you move.
I hope it's not too late for me.
It's too good on the sea,
Where the light is green,
Where the light is green.

Jagged brain, slow refrain.

Always cast a pair of hose
spaces pressed together rose
arms around each others back
you know that i liked you Jack
and all the other boys who pose
a silent dance in the woods
in this love of bite that's shown
another can of coca cola
don't you ever call me Mom
freckled dancing in the plant
and air so thin I wanted time
as far as you can see it's fun
you're nothing but a history
a second here and then you're gone
quicksand quicksand all around
turn the corner just beyond
the shadows move and change the groove
and something tells me not to brood
turning round and that's a show
you're walking through my heart once more
don't forget to close the door
i'm not certain what you found
all the men want a charming word/whore
like a crown full of jewels
sunny skies and angels please
falling down upon my knees
that wasn't how its supposed to be
clear blue eyes, just as tries
the wind is busy blowing dizzy
you're dreams were shot like a star
exploding in a mind somewhere
doing something on a dare
pulling a trigger like breathing air
a sunkissed boy that gave no thought
to what he'd made while others saved
ocean spreads a candle said/candle's head
it's dripping in my hand, you're dead
little brother reminding me
moments take forever tree
you can see as far as sin
don't you know the shape i'm in
you're walking through my heart once more
don't forget to close the door

a hundred dollars used to be more than enough
and now a hundred times a day and still it's not enough
people always tell me you get what you deserve
all I know is all and all is all I've heard

I heard you say:

Karen's moving out
out into the sky
Karen trips on a cloud
Sets down w stars in her eyes
She's alone in a room
She's deep inside of her mind
Karen's leaving for the snow
Somewhere to somewhere... blind
She cut the silver lining in my soul
I was tethered to her for a time
are we still together?
will she stay forever?
(will she stay?... beside...
flashlight... Karen stay... etc.)
A LOVE SUPREME
Karen, yr hanging on the line
wraps yr coat tight around
Karen, yr eyes are on the prize
i'll catch you on my way down

HEARD YR NAME THE OTHER DAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME
ANCIENT HISTORY SOME WOULD SAY
ANOTHER STATE OF MIND
YOU SMELL OF MEMORY
FELT TIP’D ELECTRIC CHILDE

SHE TAKES A PLASTIC PILL/SHE PLAYS THE WEATHERMAN
SHE SCREAMS ‘RELIGION KILLS MORE THAN IT SAVE YA, MAN’
SHE PAINTED FILIGREES/SHE WAS THE ACID QUEEN
SHE CLAIMS SOCIETY IS JUST A FEVER DREAM

NOW YOU LIVE IN THE TREES AND SALTY SEAS
TRIPPING OUT IN THE BLUE SKIES
YOU SHUT THE DOOR ON EVERYTHING
TOO BUSY GETTING HIGH
AND ME, JUST ANOTHER DREAM THEORY
LOST INSIDE YR EYES

SHE’S NOT IN YR HISTORY BOOKS/LOST HER MIND, KEPT HER LOOKS
DOWN BENEATH THE RADAR SCREEN/ SHE’S LIT UP LIKE GASOLINE
BEEN THRU A MILLION KIX/LOOKING FOR THE ONE THAT STICKS
NEVER WOULD’VE KNOWN IT THEN/I MIGHT NOT SEE HER AGAIN

TOP HAT AND TAILS FOR THRILLS
RED LIPS AND FAMOUS HANDS
SIDELONG AND GLANCING STILL
IN TINY DANCER LAND
WE KISSED/TIME SLIPPED
HARD EDGED/TIGHT LIPPED
COME HOME/SOMETIME
ASK ME/IF I CARE
FOR KAREN
MISS COMMUNICATION
KAREN
STUCK IN ISOLATION
KAREN
KAREN

Your bounce to the ounce makes us want to pounce
You're just being totally perfect
On Larry King you said you weren't tired
Time to put to bed the competitive edge
They say you can't say no to drama
Now you don't have to try so hard

The label says, "don't have to wear less clothes"
Next time you take a bubble bath
Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

You say you need privacy
Broken glass everywhere
Maybe you need an emo boy
No underwear on the director's chair

You are seemingly unconscious
Of what your body's doing
Like miss Monroe your head don't know
Exactly what your body's doing

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

On TV your soft and whispery
Delicate like angel food cake
They say if you press too hard on it
It'll squish into a dense ball
It will lose its fluffiness
That's what you get when you use a boxed mix
Can you get some satisfaction
How much are you willing to pay for

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

What's your gut feelin' about the new deal
How's the label gonna remake you
How was your date with Eminem
Did he bake you and then forsake you
Is innocence gonna still overtake you
Like Arthur Doyle they can't fake you
Ah Mariah your endless
Like the wind, your feelin' defenseless

Hey hey little baby break down
Button-up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

love has come to stay in all the way
it's gonna stay forever and everyday
it feels like a wish coming true
it feels like an angel dreaming of you
it feels like heaven forgiving and getting
it feels like a fading celebrating
gonna call them spirits grey
I'm gonna laugh it up
you gotta cotton crown
I'm gonna keep it underground.
your gonna take control of the chemistry
your gonna manifest the mystery
you've got a magic wheel in your memory
I'm wasted in time
and I'm looking everywhere
I don't care where
angels are dreaming of you
NYC is forever king
I'm wasted in time
and your never ready
fading fading celebrating
I've got your Kotton Krown.

lightnin'
lightnin' strike
lightnin' strikes me
lightnin' strikes me
lightnin' strikes me down
lightnin' strikes me down
lightnin' strikes me down

When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the trees grow quiet
Nothing but cats and cans
When the breeze says try it
But you can hardly see
When your love has died
And you rat on me

I see your eyes in the half-light
I see the number on your wall
Endless strange things I see at night
You don't see anything at all

Shine a light into your soul
City streets so freezing cold
City shadows wander out
When they let the rats out
Rats
You call it love alright
That was the catch
A cold suicide
Let me place you in my past
With other precious toys
But if you're ever feeling low down in the fractured sunshine
I'll help you feel the noise

Shine down
You can go on home
Shine down
Go
Go

Rats
You're working overtime
You are the moon beyond your mind
When the rats run riot
And the screen door slams
When the world goes quiet
You'll know where I am

You could be my open road
You could be the reason why
You could ease my heavy load
But I want to freeze you out now

You can let it shine
Keep that in mind
When they let out a rat next time
You could move a little closer
Until you're leaning all up around my shoulder
See these shadows walk around
When they let the rats out
