Get Real Paid
We like the boys
With the bullet proof vests
We like the girls
With the cellophane chests
We like to ride on executive planes
We like to sit around and get real paid

I know you really want it
Cos your Daddy's always on it
And he knows just how to flaunt it
He got pictures in his wallet
And he wanna be your lover
Does he look just like my mother
Does he cover you like butter
And just leave you in the gutter

I want to know if I'm worth your time
There's so much to do before you die
Thursday night, I think I'm pregnant again
Touch my ass if you're qualified

Gettin' Home
tell my baby i'm gettin home now
tell my baby i'm gettin home
she don't need me
i don't need me who's gonna need me?
someone's cryin, somone's changin
someone's stayin just the same
she don't live here
i don't live here
who's gonna live here?
tell my baby i'm gettin home now
tell my baby i'm gettin home
she doesn't need me
i don't need me who's gonna need me?

Girl Dreams
You're just the girl of my dreams
but it seems my dreams never come true.

I first met you down on lover's lane
the birds were insane
flapping all about
softly you would sing
swinging in your swing
it wasn't night it wasn't day

You're just the girl of my dreams
but it seems my dreams never come true

Glut
The joke is on me
the sad but true comes easily
and i could be a laughing man,
i could laugh at myself
i could look down my sleeve at you
but you got so much to hide
just like me
you got tricks up your sleeve,
you can show them to me
so hold back the dull surprises
your obvious disguises
propped up like a puppet
convalescent in the glut
it's a needle in the stack
it's a change of scene we lack
slip right through the filth and flack
sit back and relax

you seem so uncertain
you're running your life from scratch
scratch the surface, pass the test
the surface is shallow and rough,
and you're a declarent beginner,
anxious to distract yourself
stopping to believe yourself
invisible to see yourself
so up and down the spiral
don't need a reason to smile
propped up like a puppet
convalescent in the glut
it's a needle in the stack
it's a change of scene we lack
slip right through the filth and flack
sit back and relax

if you can't decide on me
i'll be waiting patiently
to exorcise the ghosts i see
all around you and me

Goin' Nowhere Fast
All the things they said would happen to you
Don't ya know they're all coming true
Goin' nowhere fast

Nothing strange as what it seems
You're living out all your worst possible dreams
Goin' nowhere fast

Bad times, worse times all the times in between
I tangled in the shadows, fumbled in the trees
Goin' nowhere fast

My compass is spinnin' like a gamblin wheel
It takes a hideous misfortune for to tell how I feel
Goin' nowhere fast

I threw it all away like shoes into the street
These terrible things that tear me in three
Goin' nowhere fast

I don't care what time will tell
Just tell me if I might as well be halfway to hell
Goin' nowhere fast

I'm sick to my skin with silence and doom
I'll break my back, I'll cry on the moon
Goin' nowhere fast
Goin' nowhere fast

Golden Age, The
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead

These day I barely get by
I don't even try

It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when its day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you're ok

These days I barely get by
I don't even try

Got No Mind
Tonight the city is turned off
Look at me; I'm wearing your shirt and it's burnt
Dissentious morons are dissin' you, dissing me
Keeping the friendship in massive supply

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

Give the finger to the folk singer
I'm sure he'll appreciate it deeply
And where there's smoke and there's grease and an unperfect peace
The free and easy let down will make it all come alive

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

Makeshift scene, mildly insulting
You really said it when you said I was just a scavenger
There's a headbangin' corpse, just take it to the source
Take the plug, unplugged, plug it up, rip the plug right outta
the
wall

That's why
I got no mind [x6]
Pump up the volume [x4]

Guess I'm Doing Fine
There's a blue bird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me

I just wade the tides that turned
Till I learn to leave the past behind

It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine

All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Got no time to watch them grow

Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me

It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine

Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missing all this time

It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
