It's Gonna Be A Long Night
Heard that your are new in town
someone said you party down
well, later I'll be comin' round
we'll rack 'em up and suck 'em down
don't call your mother - don't call your priest
don't call you doctor - call the police
you bring the razor blade - I'll bring the speed
Take off your coat - it's gonna be a long night
there'll be no 2nd chance for you
tomorrow you'll be black and blue
show your friends your new tattoo
911 won't help you, fool
you're gonna suffer - you're gonna bleed
I've heard it all before - you will concede
I'm takin' everything - you're goin' down
lock up the doors - it's gonna be a long night
It's gonna be a long night - It's gonna be a catfight
it's gonna be a gang-bang

Zoloft
Gimme that z, o-l-o-f-t
gimme a grip, make me love me
suckin' em' down
I'm happy man
Can feel it inside, makin' me smile
...realize that the sky's not made of gold
don't disguise the nature of your soul
Gimme that z, o-l-o-f-t
No longer pissed and you don't bother me
I'm makin' it through, I'm givin' my all
When base are loaded, I'm whacking the ball
...don't suck the mind, don't drain the source
the path of life's not easy to course, buddy

Transdermal Celebration
Transdermal Celebration
Caused a slight mutation
In the rift
It toppled down a nation
And left the people running for the hills
But the mutants that I see
Shine their beauty unto me
I wish you could see them
Tectonic tribulation
Formed a crust of green beyond the reef
Waves fell in formation
Caused the plants to bend with spi-ked leaves
I'm growing with the land
Time has taken my hands and let me touch them
Hey, hey,
A Billion miles to Mark A
Lay on the lawn, he's already home
When the morning ray hits his face
Transdermal celebration
Jets flew in formation
I could see them
Dropping the crustaceans
Leaving trails of flame in their wake
But where is the mutation
Who once told me it was safe, I can't find him

Among His Tribe
He would step out of the night and light a fire among his tribe
Carving from a bear's tooth, he used the flesh to feed the youth
He'd salt it down...
Sails were made from darkened hide, fish were caught in the lowest tide
Thought of war kept him strong, he listened for the battle song
In the night...
All the old would teach the young to heed the word of the master's tongue
A chosen son would take a bride and light the fire among his tribe
And on and on...

So Many People In The Neighborhood
So many people in the neighborhood
I don't know if they're very good people
How's about a piece of pie? (ding dong ding dong)
Socks and lox and cocks and rocks - stay inside, stay inside

Tried and True
At the dawn I woke, I was alone, rising
I called upon the force of time and space, calling
And as she came to me I fell back down, realizing
that it's cool for you to love me now, I'm everything
Everything - 'cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole - Life?
You bent the edge, eclipsed and turned around, aligning
And through the dark sparked rays of violet light, blinding
I went about the job of sowing thoughts and feelings
Some were good, some bad, I felt the cries of healing
'Cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole - Life?
Rise my Dawn, you've been awake too long
Let me rest in time while I blow your mind
At the dawn I woke, I was alone, rising
I called upon the force of time and space, calling
And as she came to me I fell back down, realizing
that it's cool for you to love me now, I'm everything
Everything cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole - Life?

Happy Colored Marbles
Most people are not ok, but they're taking their siestas in the sun
Got some Ideas on the way it should be
But most of em' just carrying on
Happy colored marbles that are rolling in my head
I put em' back in the jacket of the one I love
Carry that velvet sack full of pretty colored marbles
And I'll ask you for em' back, when I'm ready and done
Most people are not ok, and they're slackin' cause the job ain't done
Fillin' up on the poison nut
And getting down till the dawn
Happy colored marbles that are rolling in my head
I put em' back in the jacket of the one I love
Carry that velvet sack full of pretty colored marbles
And I'll ask you for em' back, when I'm ready and done

Hey There Fancypants
Hey the fancypants
Play the songs that make us dance
Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
A song for all the lonely hearts, shattered dreams and broken parts
But it feels like sunny days are coming soon
Hey Mr. Buttercup
Spin the wheel and try your luck
The Spotlight's shining bright tonight on you
Bring along your lady friend, do a dance from way back when
Tonight's the night when all your dreams come true
Hey there sour grapes
Down in the dumps, long in the face
Drinkin' down your dinner, all alone
Feelin' bad, feelin' blue, tonight the rainbow ends with you
So sit on down and make yourself at home... So
Hey the fancypants
Play the songs that make us dance
Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
A song for all the lonely hearts, shattered dreams and broken parts
But it feels like sunny days are coming soon

Captain
Captain turn around and take me home

Chocolate Town
Couldn't taste the taste that I was tastin'
Couldn't hear the waste that I was makin'
Tired of the life I was facin'
Couldn't tell one from another
Couldn't hide a secret from my mother
Any other mother wouldn't bother
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
Got me on the porch I'm in the front row
Says "shit's for real man" like I don't know
Get your punk ass back to the dog show...
Makin' time, breakin' ground,
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
A new breath I feel the grip releasin'
Scraping my guts off of the ceiling
I've got the sunny bunny feelin'
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
Makin' time, breakin' ground,
Greyhound bus to chocolate town....

I Don't Want It
Did we miss the moon?
I'd lie in your arms if I could
Such a common pain
Repeats itself again and again
Flowers gor in the springtime and leaves fall from the trees
I've been down for so long, you just threw away the keys
I understand it, but I don't want it
I know it so well, you tripped me and I laughed when you fell
This isn't how it should be
I've let you drift so far, from me
But please hold onto the memories
Before we really crash and burn
We've got ourselves so wrapped up that we've forgotten how to learn
I understand it, but I don't want it

The Fucked Jam
Nope.

Alcan Road
Open the gate to the red land
Alcan road, by the turquoise lake
Starry skies, a mushroom cloud
Folding waves - in a foamy tide
Washing in beds - of opal shells
White gulls cry - for you and I
Butterflies - float away
Drift over pools - of salt and clay
Mountain man - frosted child
Eagles cry - puppets of god
Strung like time - molded in form
Trees bend back - and trails distort
It leads to the land - of Alcan Road
The turquoise lake - and starry skies
Mushroom clouds - folding waves
Foamy tides - of salt and brine

The Argus
Yesterday we lost our lives, tomorrow we were born
Fortunes smiled upon us, sacrifice the Argus
All that he might help us see
Magna eyes that track for miles, looking for disease
Puzzled by the mountains - tricked by the see
and the Argus practiced in compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
and allow he that's lived, a reason to see
Counting days and building walls, bells ring so's to warn
all the sights that guide us, chosen by the Argus
Tell me he has chosen you
Led by form we shed our soul
trusting like a child
see the dark face that saved us
Drink from his empty eyes
and the Argus practiced in compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
letting droplets of light erupt from the sea...
Lying in beds of garlic and orchid, he closes an eye, which closes another
And in sleep he dreams, of watching and looking and feather clouds dancing
He curls up his lid and sleeps...
Swirling with visions on man's confusion
All of the work, done just to appease him
The Argus cries, though love has its place in the sun
It's only man's fear that carries him on...

If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)
On a free ride home from the embassy
I saw the governor and his lover holding hands
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
And opened the windows wide
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
The wheels fell off, the bottom fell out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
