Beach Ball
03:10
|
|||
Verse
I want to pull the string on your bikini top
I want X-ray glasses from the comic shop
I want a picture window in the swimming pool
I want to watch your skirt on the way to school
Chorus
By the shade, in my room
You’re a beach ball baby on a hot afternoon
Verse
At the sock hop party with your sweater tight
At the football practice with your dress hitched right
Lunchtime letting your blonde hair fly
Up the stairs with a flash of thigh
Chorus
By the shade, in my room
You’re a beach ball baby on a hot afternoon
Verse
That pushy boyfriend is way too old
His perfect smile is a little cold
What secret moves do you hide at night?
What games do you play when you’re out of sight?
Chorus
By the shade, in my room
You’re a beach ball baby on a hot afternoon
Verse
Dreams get stale and sunlight fades
Roaming eyes behind the shades
Then another curve comes around the bend
And drives me to pretend again
Chorus
By the shade, in my room
You’re a beach ball baby on a hot afternoon

The Dark March
04:52
|
|||
It was Volga
Until I was eight
And then Stalin
Stalingrad
The Red Army
Was a living
If you joined the Party
I joined the Party
***
My family
My children
Were caught
In the Stalingrad fires
My oldest was five
No one survived
I was safe
As safe as a soldier
***
It was short
The Battle of Kursk
They killed more of us
They retreated first
I didn’t die
My body was whole
My soul
I lost my soul
***
Nemmersdorf
It fell to our guns
No more huns
Still we
Still we killed
Shot prisoners
Belgian prisoners
And some civilians
And more civilians
***
We marched
Marched into Berlin
No one
In Berlin
Wanted us in
We raped the women
So many women
But not the children
Not the children
***
Home
Home is no more
I remember home
Home died in the war
I sleep and I eat
I still have to live
I feed my cat
My cat forgives

Nitrogen
01:54
|
|||
Verse
To break my heart
You’d have to freeze it
With liquid nitrogen
And hit it hard
With a ball peen hammer
Still the shards
Would rise again
To make me leave you
You'd have to blast me
To Triton
Or maybe Mars
When I orbited back
I'd ask you to join me
On a beach
Under the stars
Chorus
I love you baby
If things go wrong
Remember that
I love you baby
If things go wrong
Remember that
And remember this song
Verse
My love is hot
Like a Chernobyl
Or an atom bomb
Not a CANDU
CANDUs don't melt
Graphite’s bad
Heavy water’s good
If you called for me
I’d come much faster than
The speed of light
Einstein says
Nothing goes that fast
Relativity
But my love might
Chorus
I love you baby
If things go wrong
Remember that
I love you baby
If things go wrong
Remember that
And remember this song

Me and Billy

Verse
Well I made a mental note
(That's a bad place for a note
I was down in the basement
(That's a bad place for a goat)
I was looking for a parka
(That's a bad name for a coat)
I got butted by Billy
(That's a bad name for a goat)
Chorus
Me and Billy
We drink my daddy's 'shine
He's my daddy's goat
And a real good friend of mine
Billy and me
And moonshine makes three
The jugs is in the basement
That's where we wanna be
Verse
We was down there on a Sunday
(That's a bad day for a drunk)
Billy smelled a little randy
(That's a good smell for a skunk)
I said lets us go outside
(That's a good place for a stud)
So I led him to a doe
(A good girl for my bud)
Chorus
Me and Billy
We drink my daddy's 'shine
He's my daddy's goat
And a real good friend of mine
Billy and me
And moonshine makes three
The jugs is in the basement
That's where we wanna be
Verse
Billy really liked that girl
(That's a bad name for a date)
He wants her for his woman
(That's a good name for a mate)
I said run to the mountains
(That's a good place for a home)
Have kids under the mountains
(And let your kiddies roam)
Chorus
Me and Billy
We drank my daddy's 'shine
He was daddy's goat
And a real good friend of mine
Billy and me
And moonshine made three
The jugs was in the basement
That's where we used to be

Self Taught
02:24
|
|||
Verse
The numbers are highly inflated
The twin towers never fell
You live in a cocoon
No one landed on the moon
I've got lots more secrets to tell
Chorus
I'm self taught
I've done the research
I'm self taught
I know things you don't know
I'm self taught
I'm as smart as anybody
I'm self taught
They were wrong to call me slow
Verse
NASA is the Ministry of Lying
They guard the Earth's ice wall
The world’s flat and round
With tunnels underground
NASA's been lying to us all
There’s a council
That trying to run the planet
And water down our booze
They want to dig our graves
They want us as their slaves
My gun and me are gonna refuse
Chorus
I'm self taught
I've done the research
I'm self taught
I know things you don't know
I'm self taught
I'm as smart as anybody
I'm self taught
They were wrong to call me slow
Verse
Vaccines give you cancer
Corrupt your children too
Pharma wants control
They want to drug your soul
And make a puppet out of you
You say you don’t believe me
Maybe you’re one of them
Our time is coming
You won’t see us coming
We’ll make the world great again
Chorus
I'm self taught
I've done the research
I'm self taught
I know things you don't know
I'm self taught
I'm as smart as anybody
I'm self taught
They were wrong to call me slow

Safe with Me
03:01
|

Verse
She was sipping
Her something
Her sweet something
We were deep
Deep in the heart
Of something avenue
She sipped one
While i drank two
I thought of a joke
Only just in my mind
It started me laughing
She asked me why
Wait a minute i said
A minute or two
For the joke
The joke to come true
Chorus
She said honey
Please order some food
I said honey
Please don't you fret
I drank my dinner
Before we met
Verse
Order some food
Maybe some fingers
Something fingers
With avocado dip
But finish your drink
Your little something
Just a few more sips
I'll order number two
Chorus
Or maybe honey
Just skip the food
Because honey
You're safe as can be
Let's drink dinner
You're safe with me
Verse
No need to fuck
Except in my mind
Please be happy
Have a good time
Have some drinks
It's so easy
To get happy
Just look at me
Chorus
I said honey
Let's both skip the food
I said honey
I'm safe as can be
Let's drink dinner
You're safe with me

Verse
It’s raining just enough
To make the wipers give a damn
The asphalt’s black and wet
It thinks it’s young again
My woman likes the rain
The way it sounds and how it smells
Rain can be a demon
When it lets loose, when it rebels
Chorus
There’s a motel waiting
For us ahead somewhere
We’ll know where we’re going
As soon as we get there
Verse
My woman likes the rain
The way it sounds and how it smells
Rain can be a demon
When it lets loose, when it rebels
One time she pulled us over
We made out beneath the rain
This rain is not enough
For her to pull us over again
Chorus
There’s a motel waiting
For us ahead somewhere
We’ll know where we’re going
As soon as we get there
Verse
One time she pulled us over
We made out beneath the rain
This rain is not enough
For her to pull us over again
Ten thousand miles ahead
and ten thousand behind
If I’m out of luck for hundreds
I swear that I don’t mind
Chorus
There’s a hotel waiting
For us ahead somewhere
We’ll know where we’re going
As soon as we get there
Verse
Ten thousand miles ahead
and ten thousand behind
If I’m out of luck for hundreds
I swear that I don’t mind
We’ll deal with the driving
And wind and rain and snow
We go together
Everywhere we go
Chorus
There’s a motel waiting
For us ahead somewhere
We’ll know where we’re going
As soon as we get there

We die for no reason
You’re gonna die
