Beautiful Way
Searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way
Ooh such a beautiful way
To break your heart
Ooh such a beautiful way
To break your heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shoals
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself
Out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair

Ooh such a beautiful way
To break your heart
Ooh such a beautiful way
To break your heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train

Beercan
Alcohol on my hands
I got plans
to ditch myself and get outside
dancing woman
throwing plates
decapitating their laughing dates
swirling chickens caught in flight
out of focus
much too bright
coming down
shiny teeth
game show suckers trying to breathe
but I got a drug and I got the bug
and I got something better than love

How you like me now
pretty good
going on
feeling strong

I quit my job blowing leaves
telephone bills up my sleeves
choking like a one man dustball
freedom rock slimeball
talking in code, i went down
lit up the shack
grab me a beer out of the sack
everybodys been over twice
painting the walls throwing some dice
leaping up into the air getting juiced up beyond belief

and they were singing like this

winos throwin' Frisbees at the sun
put my soul between the bun
now I wandering now I'm drunk
now I'm running like a flaming pig

scraping off the attitude
old man eating all my food
don't be kind
don't be rude
just shake your boots and let it all get loose

oh yeah
my goodness

fluffy clouds
jumping rainbows

fluffy clouds
I am sad and unhappy
jumping rainbows
A soft and snuggly place

[repeat]

[chorus]

oh that's cold
somebody put a flame-thrower on me

oh yeah
I like it like that

somebody bring me a plate of succotash

Blackfire Choked Our Death
i remembered the fears
black fire choked our breath
(???) in the kitchen
sand poured through the walls
we looked to one another
the children shut their mouths
the whirling and the turning
of destruction filled our house
the blood-thirsty yearning
clamored all about us
darkness rose up
from the floor like a demon
fearful of the death
that buckled through our minds
shaken to the core
foresaken and unkind
well the sun came a-shinin
and the dust did settle down
birds and jack-rabbits
lay dead on the ground
electricity
trembled in the skys
sparks shot forward
causing us to fly...take some breakfast
but the grit was in our food
and everywhere around us
starvation broke on through
my husband stood a-starin
at the plentiful disaster
god was in his eyes
but death was in his heart
dried up whiskey
chickens in the house
stolen car stereo
cholesterol on your mouth
stolen car stereo
snowman all in flames
deluxe cockroach
tellin me what's real
black sabbath playin
i wake up in my socks
candle all a-burnin
her face is on tv

Blackhole
Windy
Windy
looking for a better home
gotta be
gotta be
running out of lightbulbs
crowded
crowded
open to a wastecan
yellow car
yellow car
better be inside there
wake up
wake up
nothing's gonna harm you
glass wall
glass wall
standing on the furniture
little boy
little boy
laying on a sleeping bag
watching
watching
through the cracks of his eyelids
stranger
stranger
feeling like a broken stone
lost him
lost him
standing on the orange chairs
alphabet
alphabet
can't afford a telephone
black hole
black hole
nothing's gonna harm you

Blue Cross
She's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a burnin' lawn
she's dead and gone
she's here and now
she's hanging around
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a liquor store
she's an apple core
she's a camel hair
she's a broken chair
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a silver star
she's a stolen car
she's a milky way
she's an old ashtray
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross

She's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross
she's a blue cross

Bogus Soul

fuckin talkin to me
fuckin talkin to me...ohhhh

they want my soul
they wanna touch me with my finger
oh, they feel...oooohhhhh i wanna think (?)
Ii wanna feel
I don't got no tail (???)
I rock n roll

Bogusflow
monkey see, monkey die
laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
cuz it's squalid and it's solid and it's
completely rancid and beautiful
like a forcefield of multiplying meat
cut a hole in the floor to see
just how close to hell we're standin

time shoots forward in your skull
scattered to the four winds
chucked in a bucket
riding lampost, moldy toast
excitement level: 0

rock the casbah, bring the noise
amplified dishwashers exploring the boring to the core
people with cordless personalities
runnin around in new wave bionic jogging suits

california white boy sound
rocket-powered and nailed to the ground
new age, old age totally lame
straight to the middle of the road
rewind the tape play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned off

Bottle of Blues
i just found me a bottle of blues
some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
ain't it hard
ain't it hard,
to want somebody who doesn't want you

and i've been waiting for a year, a day
some strange weather must be blowin' my way
cause i got no mind to go or to stay,
or be left behind

holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere to lose
this bottle of blues

egos drone
and pose alone
like black balloons
all banged and blown
on a backwoods river
the infidels shiver
in the stench of belief
i tell my momma i'm a hundred years late
i'm over the rails
and out of the race
and the crippled psalms
of an age that won't thaw
are ringing in my ears

holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a..
bottle of blues

i just found me a bottle of blues

put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a..

Broken Train
The snipers are passed out
In the bushes again
I'm glad I got my suit dry-cleaned
Before the riots started
Cos there's only rehashed faces
On the bread line tonight
Soon you'll be a figment
Of some infamous life

Billionaires smile like weapons
Passing out platinum pensions
They're out of kontrol
No one knows how low they'll go

(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train

Those bra burning deportees
At the service station
They know that beige
Is the color of resignation

We're out of kontrol
No one knows how low we'll go
(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train

Shining like crystal tiaras
Ghettos and grey Rivieras
This is the real me ladies
You won't find no shelter here

Tell me, what's your zip code baby
Did you ever let a cowboy sit on your lap

Brother
brother are you really here
the package i recieved is gone
are you a phantom detective
can you read my soul backwards?
i would glide with you if you are a backwards ghost i will hire you

brother are you really home?
holy as a blessed worm
a paradise ambasssador,
bring me to your room
and i will throw you rocks today
and watch them pass right through you say
and this is not a game or test, we both have done some grievin'

brother with your vast reward,
a treasury you can't afford
surgeries and innocence abounds
and i have read in paper books, my eyes are glands on twisted hooks
never have I felt or looked so sorry for you now

brother are you trained to spy?
one eye open, one eye dry
when i die, will you be my neighbor?
tell me things i like to know,
dressin' up from head to toe
let them know to and fro,
from here and tomorrow

brother are you really here?
the message i recieved is gone
are you a phantom detective?
can you read my soul backwards?
i would glide with you if you are a backwards ghost i will hire you

Burnt Orange Peel
I'm on the run with things to be
I've got a garden hose and a color tv
I've got time on my hands
I've got time on my hands
Nobody cares what I do

I'm on the run with things to do (we're on the road/long ago)
I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew
I've got work to get done
I've got work to get done
Nobody knows where to run

I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice
I've got trees that are fake,
But they smell so nice
Don't give me the flu
Nobody knows I'm with you

Back and forth I dodge a fly
Like a feather in the sky
Write me out a check
Give me all your cash
Nobody knows, so let's just go home

Burro
Viajo sin rumbo fijo
En mis botas viejas
Cabos sueltos enlazan
A mi cabeza

Si pensabas ir al lugar
Donde los paganos van
Pongalo junto
Invitacion extraña

Despierto alguien arrastra mis huesos
Nosotros ascendemos en la tarde

Y recuerdo tu sonrisa
Con el viento salvaje
Hay algo vacio
Cuando empieza
