- Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf
You were one step behind in that dismal school of mine
Needle and percocet instead of books on students desks
We were so charming, but the future was alarming
And now don't you go look so proud
Yes, guess who's laughing now?
And we've learned that life is one big game
Where the winners are all getting paid
- Heaven Runs On Oil
Such derision when you fled!
They bruised your lank shins while you were down
Some kicked the crutches from under your arms
You are one sorry story
A lost cause from conception
Still I like you and your thinking mind
And it's like a good book reads:
- Herbal Jazz Cigarette
I can find the reasoning
to not get mad at the morning rain
so long as you're waking up
to it with me.
I know what you're gonna say
before you even know how to say it.
No I still don't have my shoes.
And if I don't see you soon
- Hey Sweetheart
Hey sweetheart,
don't take it so
ha-a-a-ard
I'm sorry I was bringing you down
I didn't mean it when I said
that I wish you were dead
And hey sweetheart,
- I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard
The streets are all violent
With murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey are dancing everyday
That waltzing jibberish
Where intake becomes outlandish
I'm in a bad way every passing day
So where do we go from here, I'll say
- I'd Dodge a Bullet For You
Hey sweetheart don't take it so hard
I'm sorry I was bringing you down
I didn't mean it when I said that I wish you were dead
And hey sweetheart is that your new car
Now don't you drive it off of the cliff
Because I can't send you light
Since I am no longer able
And the pain is real
- In The Bathroom Is Where I Want You
Break it out, just break it out
Don't hesitate the dilate
What is your name? What do you do?
I'm not that kind of man
But I'll make an exception for you
We're flexed and pressed for time alone
Don't stall in the stall
- Thumbelina
Hey dainty girl flailing on the side of the road
With your great thumb in the air
I hope you don't mind me asking
But what happened to your underwear?
And does your humble husband know?
Of 'ee hitchin' seedy path
With car-operating sexual deviants!
- You are very dear to me
Mary Lee let's jump the turnstile
It's been awhile and I wanted to say
You're very dear to me
Found out in therapy
Sandra Jane let's play in your school-yard
You're so smart, I just want to tell you
You're very dear to me
- You Don't Have To Tell Me I Was A Terrible Man
I'm sending you this note from a Northern England coast,
Stating I'm so glad that you're not here.
'Cause you've got some mouth on you, it's loud enough for two.
And you screaming proved just how little you knew.
You don't have to tell me I was a terrible man,
I'm already quite aware yet so glad to finally have you out of my hair.
