She had suspicious
He couldn’t hear them
It was a case of
Double double vision
Oh, oh, oh, she knows
It’s so important
It’s so important
They says she wants to
Go and get married
That she doesn’t want that
Baby she carried
Oh, oh, oh, she knows
It’s so important
It’s so important
Mary says she goes
To bed and wonders
How she could better
Love like a mother
Oh, oh, oh she knows
It’s so important
It’s so important

Better

Tree top bare or table cloth covered
Double dog dare in trouble with your mother
Socially untouched never known a lover
Life's not fair, you weren’t meant to suffer
Never said it better
Never said it better
Lose my number you are not my brother
Thousand yard stare looking at each other
Give up all your love now they call it smothered
Life's not fair, you weren’t meant to suffer
Never said it better
Never said it better

Syracuse
Syracuse is a seller to you
And you
You’re unfettered
You’re much better
Than me
Syracuse
Syracuse is a seller to me
And me
I’m a cavern
On Saturn
As far away as can be
Syracuse
Syracuse is a seller to you and me

The Point

She's got a girlfriend named Mercedes and no license
She’s got a twelve pack of PBR, I wonder how this ends
She’s got this pain in her brain she can’t explain it if she tried
She’s got this pain her brain she can’t explain if she tried
I don’t think you get the point
It’s daddy’s boots and a taste of his blues
It’s mommy's dress, mommy's stress, a pack of menthol tubes
She sat in silence since they did all that talk, talk
She sits in silence since they did all that talk, talk, talk
I don’t think you get the point
She’s got this pain in her brain she can’t explain it if she tried
She’s got this pain her brain she can’t explain if she tried
I don’t think you get the point

Cookie Faced Girl

The father eats his son
Like a VCR eats a tape
It goes on and on and on and on
I don’t think I understand
The cookie faced girl
Stand by your window
Soldiers marching in rows
They go on and on and on and on
I don’t think I understand
The cookie faced girl

I’ve been reading about Jesus
I’ve been eating Reese's pieces
I’ve been trying to get clean
I’ve been getting really mean
Oh it’s not fair no
It’s not fair oh no
I’ve been laying on a pile of clothes
I’ve been trying to get comfortable
I’ve been trying to get clean
I’ve been getting really mean
Oh it’s not fair no
It’s not fair oh no
I’ve been wondering where they go
I’ve bet no one knows
I’ve been trying to get clean
I’ve been getting really mean
Oh it’s not fair no
It’s not fair oh no

Put my wife in a big big house
Kill some time in my big house
Kill some time in my big big house

Put my wife in a big big house

Puddle or a patch of ice yeah yeah
I thought about it once or twice alright
Catching up would be nice alright
Catch up would be nice

Bend it ‘til it bends past bent
Landlords jacking up my rent
Thought too much about what it meant
Thought too much
Well alright
It'll all be alright

Don't Worry
02:12
|

|
Haven’t had enough to drink in years
Carrying a fridge up the stairs
You moved in below me
You wanted to get to know me
You introduced yourself to my sister and my niece
You told them you were worried about me
They said
Don’t worry
Threw my shoes out my window
You threw 'em back through my window
You call me on my phone still
But I don’t pay no phone bill
You introduced yourself to my sister and my niece
You told them you were worried about me
They said
Don’t worry

Look Out

|

|
Sorry I’m living in a cardboard box
I’ve got holes in all of my sox
I think about all the money I spent
My pockets filled with nothing but lint
I’m at the bottom but I’m coming up top
I’m at the bottom but I’m coming up top
Look out

The King

I think god understands
Bar of soap
On a rope
Take a bite
Big big bite
To speak
To the king
Come get clean
For the king
I think god understand
And the Queen
Looks to me
She breathes
And I breathe

Bedhead
02:45
|
|||
|
I’ve got eyes on my hands
But I can’t see everything
It hangs on a string
But it don’t mean anything
We sleep in the same bed
We don’t have the same head
You’ve got sense on your tongue
But don't know everything
You let sleepers sleep
But it don’t mean anything
We sleep in the same bed
We don’t have the same head
I know when I die
I will be just fine
The cat will eat my eyes
Belly full
We sleep in the same bed
We don’t have the same head

Happening Again
06:09

|
It eats itself
You was sitting on the shelf
There ain’t no hell
You created it all by yourself
You were never born
There ain’t no need to mourn
You were never bored
There ain’t no need for more
Turn on your TV
Check the programming
If you really want to see me
You would have fucking seen me
You’re never born
There ain’t no need to mourn
You were never bored
There ain’t no need for more
How about those times before
Don't worry there'll be flowers more
You got caught up with daddy's gun
But soon enough you'll be in the sun

I wish it were my birthday
I wish I had everything
And the birds would sing
And the birds would sing
I wish it were my birthday
I wish I had everything
