I tripped on your ottoman
nearly cracked my head
then i tried to lye you down on the bed
what's that you landed on?
then i choked on my own spit
i couldn't find the condom
no I couldn't
we went on a date we did
to a bluegrass bar
Tom and Jeff were talking at us like we were
skids like them
the double rum and cokes they did me in
i couldn't find the condom
no I couldn't
No I ain't no smooth operator
My behavior is so temporary
I'm gonna make it good
in time you know I'll get it right
I find the condoms ready
I'll find them
and I'll also have them ready
No I ain't no smooth operator
No I ain't no smooth operator
no I ain't no cool alligator
no I ain't no quick calculator
what i got to give
is my funny funny
No I ain't no smooth operator

The dealer always knows which card he's gonna throw me
the dealer always knows which card he's gonna throw me
I try to run and hide but the dealer knows best
I try to run and hide yes
my eyes are on fire
to the people who came before me
to the people who are waiting in line

Tomorrow never knows which way it's gonna go
tomorrow never know s which way it's going
and you see

That Beautiful Light
04:37

Hey how's it going my friend
I wanna tell you who I am
the sinner in the story
who destroys everything
I just want to start over again
for this time I've learned
clearly I've seen the circle
It's like the rain
that hard rain
it comes and goes
and settles down again
For I feel the hand of God
it placed itself on me
It's trying to direct to me
to the right path
oh, that light
that beautiful light
but the path to redemption
the cleansing of time
It's like the rain
that hard rain
it comes and goes
and settles down again
It comes and goes
and settles down again

Takin' A Knife
06:08

Look at me I'm alone
what can i get up to
sitting here staring at walls
look at me I'm alone
Into the kitchen I go
at an element so hot
bot form the chunk was broke
there I go sailing away
I used to use a pipe
now I am takin' a knife
it hits me so fast
and economical
takin' a knife
To the splitting lips I guess
time for an apology
hair lip from a rampant knife
where's your face there's too much blood
Where's your face there's too much blood
I used to use a pipe
now I am takin' a knife
it hits me so fast
and economical
takin' a knife
Your face is
such a mess
so next time
take it for yourself

All I Wanna Do Is Run

Your walk was just like a song
sidewalk sidewalk follow you follow you
and your skin like milk white clouds
measureless and proud
yeah
your lips used to taste like wine
up against mine
your touch your touch your touch your touch
like a bumblebee
pollinating me
Whenever your around now all i wanna do is run
Your eyes like rain
your eyes like rain
water blue puddle
just like the rain
but your face
what the hell happened to your face?
your lips used to taste like wine
up against mine
your touch your touch your touch your touch
like a bumblebee
pollinating me
pollinate me
Whenever your around now all i wanna do is run
run run
Your face fell off
what a what a wonderful loss

Flesh Of My Fear

A dusky wing flaps through the grey twilight
beauties grave green coming into sight
well don't be afraid slough it clear
sloughing off the flesh of my fear
then sleeping strain to my ear
my heart feels flat
my cheeks are tickled with tears
toboggans hit jumps
to slough off the flesh of my fear
well alright
we'll say alright tonight
we'll say alright tonight
we'll alright
we'll alright
we'll say alright tonight
alright
I'm gonna slough it clear
the flesh of my fear
a dusky wing flaps through the grey twilight
beauties grave green coming into sight
toboggans hit jumps to slough off the flesh of my fear

Whops a daisy how's Miss' Cox's head

But do you still dance in the dark?

But do you still dance in the dark?

All eyes are on you now

if you don't get the part
that you wanted
just step back
and dance in the dark
dance in the dark.
So comfy now

Baby Dolls
05:08
|
|||
|
Well when she was just a little girl
she wondered how to make it such a world
and thought about what way to end it
each frigid night she gets a visit
which one of them this time is it?
their sweat and shit and breath comes in buckets
and on the nights she had to herself
she'd look up to the surrounding shelf
baby dolls giving her support by the dozen
and what she liked were their deadening eyes
a silence you'd find only in a fly
to feel nothing is what she wanted
So at a ripe age of only 16
she grabbed her dolls and she split the scene
you could say she was rough around the edges
she found herself an apartment to live
a retail job that just didn't give her much
it really didn't give her much of what she wanted
so to the wanted adds
ladies for hire
red hot ladies the ones on fire
a place to feel nothing much at all
and as she stared into the night
through her window
the neon light
deadening eyes discover
baby dolls
so she heard about this place called baby dolls
a place to to stand up and be reborn and be tall
a place where no one owes you nothing
they hired her on the spot
not a dripping
not a drop
of what was to come
Baby doll
She gets free food fingers and fries
fish and chips she swallows and sighs
"I love the grill at baby dolls"
watch your health babe
watch the grill babe
make sure you always know how to work that pole
baby doll

Well just not today
I can't tell you I can't tell you
the sickness we share
try to not tell ya
try to not tell ya
yes I can be seen through the hatred
your secret
the one where your body melts
crust it crisps
try to not tell ya
try to not tell ya
Yes I can be seen through your hatred
your secret
the one where your body melts
anchor lifters of divided
have fallen cold now I'm drenched in doubt
and i wanna destroy ya but the T.V.'s on
the T.V.'s on
while the brawniest breed
the T.V.'s on
the T.V.'s always on
the T.V.'s on
I will be seen in your dreams
in your nightmares my crust will crisp
your crust will crisp over my eyes
sleeping lids project a screening
the one where your body melts
sleeping lids project a screening
the one where your body melts
So come on and say
come on and say today that it's over
So come on and say
come on and say today that it's over
and i wanna destroy ya
but the T.V.'s on
the T.V.'s on
while the brawniest breed
the T.V.'s on
the T.V.'s always on
the T.V.'s on

Focus On Your Breath

What ya gonna do when you can't breath
you can
the buoy floats atop
that's all you see
it's all you see
Just focus on your breath it really means a lot
really means a lot
it really means a lot in the end
in a place where there's never wind
focus on your breath and try to swim
it really really really means a lot in the end
What you gonna do
when you can't breath
you can
you've gone all numb from head to toe
oh no!
Just focus on your breath it really means a lot
really means a lot
it really means a lot in the end
in a place where there's never wind
focus on your breath and try to swim
it really really really means a lot in the end
Just go towards the light
