Take me to the country Force me down the streets To verify my maker To make me to my knees And if the git comes stuffin' on the fighting was coffee I won't get some sleep just 'cause I thought I'd fade out I'm fighting for your body I want to teach your body how Take me to the country I can hardly speak Make me more than money Before I go to sleep I promised to my mamma I'd give you something sweet That something's gonna give now Before I go to sleep

Sleepy Jean 03:46
Listen here Darling Dear Give me money I'm afraid of Rock n' Roll I'm a dog without his bone Don't let me go It's so clear I'm not here This isn't happening Happiness is a warm gun That you shoot 'cause you're so killer and I hate you Don't let me go All day Stoking a fire for an old flame Put me inside and I'll always blow the punch line too And that's because I always ba-ba-ba always ba-ba Sleepy Jean you're so clean and I'm so sedated I forgot a face like yours Because I'm a creepy weirdo and I scare you Don't let me go All day Stoking a fire for an old flame Put me inside and I'll always blow the punch line too And that's because I always ba-ba-ba always ba-ba-ba

My my Those eyes Carved out like key limes I don't need nothin' from you I can only get stronger from here I'd need some more You think I keep score but I can't keep nothin' from you Life can only get longer from here Now I'm frightened Know why? You beat it in me now I'll beat it back into you I can only get stronger from here I'm at the food mart I'll buy the whole store now I'm gonna give it to you Life can only get longer from here So give me those wide-eyed faces Draw them across brittle bones Leave me outside of the cross signal fire Love never carried me home

How Do You? 02:59
In my head, In my head I was moving, Now I’m dead. Who are you? Break the bread, Drink some wine I’ll touch yours, If you touch mine How do ya do? In my lonely lovers lair Standing in her underwear We will dirty happy be La La La La La La La. Oh Suzanne, You’re a man You have ruined all my plans How do you Do? She’s got style, She’s got grace She’s got something on her face How do you Do Look at mother Look at dad well they’re such a happy sad Look at dirty happy me La La La La La La La In my head In my head I was moving, now I’m dead But who are you? Hold me close Hold my nose Hold this leaky garden hose Wait, who are you? Look at ma, look at pa Don’t you look just like them! Wait, but who are you? You break my bread Drink my wine Pump my heart and ????? my mind But who are you? Who are you? In my head In my head I was moving Now I’m dead Who are you?

Hanna was drawing on the side of my face Signing her name wherever mine had just been replaced Hanna, I know what I can see with my eyes Hanna, I never want to see you with that guy She's biting her lip out of the corner of my eye Slurping the soup through a straw in an apple pie Hanna, I know what I can see with my eyes Hanna, I never want to see you with that guy The more your brains keep touching me The more you break my heart But I'll avert my eyes 'cause I could never be alone without you I've got stories that I'll never tell about fourteen girls in a wishing well Cover up my eyes 'cause I could never been alone without you The more your brains keep touching me The more you break my heart The more your brains keep touching me The more you break my heart

Casablanca 04:40
You've got a number You've got a spine You've got your whole wide world and now you're after mine But if you want that give me a show you greedy cow Let's put our lovers against the wall I want to find out where we all went wrong Give me your number or make one up I'd call myself but I don't have the guts I want to know you I really do I want much more but nothing after you I didn't know that I want to go Give me some more or else I'll leave the show

Hallways 03:39
Someone's in the kitchen cooking up the trouble I could be your lover if I had a double I would take you home like all the other doubles do I would take the spoon and fill it with desire filthy little crystals set them all on fire send them down the hallways bodies will know what to do Oh oh oh. Martha's in the kitchen Losin' all her marbles cooking up more problems 'cause everybody loves them Chase them with your whiskey it's the fashionable thing to do I am in the backyard digging up my double you just stood there laughing laughing at my shovel With such a pointy finger why don't you point at something true? Oh oh oh.

Stop Me 04:49
Stop me now I’m on another short break Hold them close in an electric embrace Hold the line just a little bit longer Cause I Feed fires force fast food fill fear to the face Trick trend-trapped teenage tongue to the taste Sell sex-soaked songs, sell sunlight to states My mouth mends minds all over the place Stop me now before the toxicant takes Fill the canyons on your ugly face Paranoia, such a catchy little number Cause I Feed fires force fast food fill fear to the face Trick trend-trapped teenage tongue to the taste Sell sex-soaked songs, sell sunlight to states My mouth mends minds all over the place Stop me if your ears are bleeding Stop me if you’re dim Stop me if you get too weary I can tuck you in Or Maybe Stop me if I get too pushy If you need some time to think Stop me if my late night calls are Driving you to drink Or Maybe Stop me if you’re out of money or if you’re scared to ask Stop me though you know I love you Caught beneath the glass Aw Baby

Modern Eyes 03:41
All I want is blue and white and crimson coloured eyes doppelganger for my lonesome bloodshot modern eyes Sexy helicopter twist your body down on me save this latent terror plot from all its dirty needs I climb the stairs and find you there filthy affair I would bleed in three-toned symphonies and say my prayers But someone's eaten all my food and sat in my favourite chair

Gravity Pope 03:11
All I want and all I need is one more night with you I can see you seein' me you may think I don't I do She wrote me some poetry and I offered her my head Every night we bounce like springs on a big old fashioned bed

Mr. Magoo 03:56
And when I make my money I'm gonna glow Bright like Manhattan Island Covered in snow And when my lights go out I'll never know I want a black tie to cut my collar again I want a black tie to cut my collar again One more shiny dollar So you don't trust me, lover What did I do? And what I saw on Tuesday wasn't that you? You said you'd fall for no one else Mr. Magoo I want a black tie to cut my collar again I want a black tie to cut my collar again One more shiny dollar
