Party In The Graveyard
03:33
|
|||
Bring your wine your cigarettes Come out tonight meet your friends Bring your notebook bring your pens We’re going where it all begins The show that always ends
We’re gonna party in the graveyard
Cops are coming after us They can’t catch us, we’re too fast We can hide behind these stones Stiff as statues til they’re gone Then it’s up til dawn
We’re gonna party in the graveyard
Tell your stories sing your songs Grab some glory we won’t always be this young We’re gonna get old and we’ll have to face that fear We’re gonna go and when we go they’re gonna bring us right back here
We’re gonna party in the graveyard

Waiting Beds
03:03
|

I’ve got the full moon in my window but it keeps on sliding over Hailed this taxi just to chase it but we never get no closer Those red numbers on the meter they keep on flashing faster Are we riding to the moon or are we driven to disaster Well the evening started quickly yes I got out at 3:50 Moving in and out of buildings and I’m bringing people with me And it’s August so we’re swimming in the soggy Summer air There’s a current it’s pulling us it’s taking us somewhere Where we gonna go where we gonna go instead? This city is full of waiting beds With sweaty sheets or sleeping heads I can’t recall what I just said I’ve got the full moon in my window and I keep on sliding over To my latest sweet acquaintance and I kiss her on the shoulder And the exit signs approaching but we never quite decided Where it is that we are going so we’re gonna keep on riding Where we gonna go where we gonna go instead? This city is full of waiting beds With sweaty sheets or sleeping heads I can’t recall what I just said I can’t recall what I just said The conversation’s lost its thread One Day we will all be dead Wondering what it was we did Where we gonna go? I’ve got the full moon in my window but it keeps on sliding over Hailed this taxi just to chase it but we never get no closer

Got myself a new distraction
A deeper blue dissatisfaction
I made myself a new promotion
Poured myself into the ocean
Let the water run all over the world
I’m on the run all over the world
I’m all over the place
Brought the war a brand new battle
I poured myself out into bottles
Drink it down or let it flow
Light a match and it explodes
I don’t know how many little holes
I’ll make my mark before I go
I’m all over the place
If I could find just one I’ve left so many things undone
So many things I’ve made a mess of every one
If I could walk the line it keeps on changing all the time I won’t be done until I’m dying
I’m all over the place
Got myself a new distraction
A deeper blue dissatisfaction
I made myself a new promotion
Poured myself into the ocean
Let it run
Let it run
I’m all over the place

A dog barks
The Earth shakes
She walks by
And hearts break
An a blind fool
Could feel the heat
Something strange runs through
The kids on the street
You don't have to know
To know
Half a glimpse
You hear her voice
And you're deep in
There's no choice
So you step quick
Cause the hunt's on
You want one good look
Tell me where you goin'?
You don't have to know
To know
She's sending
Some message
You're reeling
You're wreckage
You want it
Can't see it
But you'll find it
You can't fight it
You don't have to know
To know

Black Bubblegum
02:26
|
|||
It starts out sweet
And then it hits the street
Just like you kid
Just like you did
It starts out slow
Then the next thing you know
You're all used up
You're all chewed up
Black bubblegum
Leopards the sidewalk
People slide talk
They want to get by you
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum
It starts out pink
Then what do you think?
You feel the hurt
You're picking up dirt
Big time dreams
Desperate schemes
Chew on your doubts
Until you're spit out
Black bubblegum
Leopards the sidewalk
People slide talk
They want to get by you
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum
Ask for a dollar
You'll get a quarter
Stretch out the time
It'll only get shorter
Ask for millions
You'll get nothing
In the nook of this building
Can you see them sleeping?
Can you see them sleeping now?
Black bubblegum
Leopards the sidewalk
People slide talk
They want to get by you
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum
Leopards the sidewalk
People slide talk
They want to get by you
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum
Black bubblegum

Eden Roses
02:48
|
|||
Up on the mountain, Eden roses grow
Rattlesnakes and lions and look out below
Gonna pick you a dozen and carry them home
And you will never know
The kind of lengths I go
You know I love you so
But you'll never know
My Boss is dreadful No he never smiles
From morning to midnight, he's got me working all the while
Still I'll take on the workload just to keep you in style
And you will never know
The kind of lengths I go
You know I love you so
But you'll never know
I watch you when you're sleeping
I study your brow
And if bad dreams creep in
I'll get in there somehow
I will take on the monsters
That wake you in the night
And I will watch over you
Until the morning light
And you will never know
The kind of lengths I go
You know I love you so
But you'll never know
And you will never know
Oh no you’ll never know
You know I love you so
But you'll never know

My Name Is Love
04:01
|
|||
I hide in flowers
I move in the night
Feed on your hunger
Pull me close as I bite
I prey on young women
I prey on young men
When we kiss it's heaven
When I'm gone it's the end
I've scattered bodies all over this world
And yours is next my girl
There is no crime I'm not guilty of
And I've come for you this time
And my name is Love
I'll play you some music
Sing you a song
Get you to do it
Even though you know it's wrong
I'll take you dancing take you to bed
But all the romancing's gone when it's dead
I'll fill you up still it's never enough
And then I'll drain you down
Because my name is
It can be so sweet
It can be so bitter
That spark when we meet
The cut when we sever
I prey on young women
I prey on old men
When we kiss it's heaven
When I'm gone it's the end
I've scattered bodies all over this world
And yours is next my girl
There is no crime I'm not guilty of
And I've come for you this time
And my name is Love

Usury of the Heart
03:00
|
|||
I met you
And I went mad
Had to give you everything
Everything I had
And you gave me your hand
I felt the fire burn
Didn’t know what
You’d demand in return
Down in your lending chambers
I want to turn the tables
Don’t want to sign no papers
That’s no way to start
Thought you gave me your love
But it was a usury of the heart
Now I’m lost
And I’m dejected
Couldn’t take the cost
You collected
But I’d take you back
If I was able
If we could work out something
Under the table
Thought you gave me your love
But it was a usury of the heart
There’s no time to lose
Girl you’ve got to choose
You want a living breathing love
Or just a shiny substitute?
How can you turn a profit?
What good do you get off it?
How can you stop a loving feeling
Once it starts?
Thought you gave me your love
But it was a usury of the heart

The Great Depression
03:14
|
|||
The great depression never went a way
It hid out in poorer sections waiting for me to come it's way
I thought my nice paying job would keep me safe. Good God I was so naïve
When the crunch came down I was out on the street have to hit the concrete
Now times are hard fish ain't biting. The wanted ads aren't too inviting
Now the thin cow's gonna have to eat the fat. Pinch you wallets people and hold onto your hats
Because The Great Depression, The Great Depression's back!
Look at sky wish on a star pray they'll bring back old FDR
But FDR won't lend a dime to me
See those limousines go by at least their taxes won't be too high
Guess it's good to see someone's getting lucky
But it's hard to see people living large when Herbert Hoover Junior's back in charge
All my friends are wearing a frown. I'm a one man shanty-town
Because The Great Depression, The Great Depression's back
The Great Depression, The Great Depression's
Back it's back it'll take your cash if you get something together it'll fall apart fast
Get back get back it'll spread like a rash and the welfare cutoff comes down like an axe
It's back it's back here the market crash because the stockbroker couldn't stick to the facts
And the whole world wants to kick your ass
Because The Great Depression, The Great Depression's back
The Great Depression, The Great Depression's
Oh yeah the great depression
The Great Depression, The Great Depression's back

Digging a Hole
03:02
|
|||
When we were down buried in rubble
A man came down carrying shovels
He told us in a voice harsh and rasping
He said “All the walls of these caves are collapsing"
He threw down his tools and he said “No doubt,
The only way out is to dig your way out"
Now we’re digging ourselves out from under
(Digging a hole)
He came back to see how we’d progressed
There were piles of piles it was all a mess
We were covered in soot from head to foot
Anyone could see that it wasn’t any good
He said “Now people I’m not kidding.
You better get going cause the air is thinning"
Now we’re digging ourselves out from under
(Digging a hole)
I don’t know I don’t know
How we’re ever gonna get out of this hole?
Now we’re digging ourselves out from under
(Digging a hole)
(I don’t know I don’t know
How we’re ever gonna get out of this hole?)

Little Plaything

Little plaything
Don't you want to play no more?
Little plaything
You sure get sad when you're bored
I could think of things for us to do
I could think of things for us to do
Little plaything
Are you all played out?
Little plaything
Are you starting to have your doubts?
I could think of things for us to do
I could think of things for us to do
I could lie around coloring books all day
I could take you to a Sunday Matinee
We could do watercolors and Papier Mache
I could teach you a brand new game to play
I could think of things for us to do
I could think of things for us to do
Little plaything
Don't you want to play no more?
Little plaything
Don't you want to play no more?

The Shadow
04:32
|
|||
There's a shadow falling across this room
In between the lamplights there's a track of gloom
There's a shadow crawling across the floor
It's grabbed onto your ankles and it's pulling you down for more.
Have you seen the shadow on the floor?
Can you see the shadow lurking behind the door?
Can you feel the darkness rising up rising up?
Can you see the shadow?
There's a dark figure coming down the hall
There's a shadow behind the lamplights, and now it's dimmed them all
And the darkness it swallows us whole
There's a shadow on the ceiling, there's a shadow on my soul
Have you seen the shadow on the floor?
Can you see the shadow lurking behind the door?
Can you feel the darkness rising up rising up?
Can you see the shadow?
There are shadows playing in the street
You act like it doesn’t matter but there’s a darkness so complete
Don’t want to go out there, but oh no it’s coming in
And I’m captured by the darkness and the darkness wins
Have you seen the shadow on the floor?
Can you see the shadow lurking behind the door?
Can you feel the darkness rising up rising up?
Can you see the shadow?
Can you feel the darkness rising up rising up?
Rising up rising up?
Rising up rising up?
Can you see the shadow?

Not in too much demand.
Everybody else got wedding plans
With you I’ve got a banquet served
It’s more than I deserve
You’re the only one who loves me
You’re the only one who likes me baby
I’m a big jerk most the time
But with you I turn on the charm
You’re the only one who loves me
Usually I’m so ugly
But I’m B-I-U-tiful
When I’m in your arms
Most days I don’t speak
I don’t open my mouth for at least a week
And when I do don’t no one know what the hell I meant
But with you ain’t I eloquent?
You’re the only one who loves me
You’re the only one who likes me baby
I’m a big jerk most the time
But with you I turn on the charm
You’re the only one who loves me
Usually I’m so ugly
But I’m B-I-U-tiful
When I’m in your arms
Got to keep you fooled
At least another day or two
Keep aquainting you
With the nicer side of me
Cause that’s the only side I’m gonna show to you
You’re the only one who loves me
You’re the only one who likes me baby
I’m a big jerk most the time
But with you I turn on the charm
You’re the only one who loves me
Usually I’m so ugly
But I’m B-I-U-tiful
When I’m in your arms
You’re the only one who loves me
You’re the only one who can stand me baby
You’re the only one who can stomach me
But when I’m in your arms
I am B-I-E-A-U-T-I-F-O-U-L-U-L
when I’m in your arms

If My Heart Was In It
04:26
|
|||
If my heart was in it I would make you mine
You would be the center of my grand design
I would build you a mousetrap so ornate
You’d be eating the cheese without realizing that you'd taken the bait
If my heart was in it
Baby you'd be mine
Well my heart was broken and I promised myself
Never let one woman ever capture my imagination
So if I've been drinking, out with the boys
I might throw you a line I might let you have a choice
If my heart was in it
Baby you'd be mine
I would tell you things that make your heart burn
Give you gifts you could never return
Tell you secrets that would speak to your soul
You'd lose all self control
If my heart was in it
Baby you'd be mine

Seven Skeletons
04:13
|

Seven Skeletons were standing on my lawn
I let them come on in and they put their skins back on
I came to recognize them as my long lost friends
I never thought that I’d see them again
Oh my bones Oh my bones
Don’t leave me on my own
Oh my bones Oh my bones
You know here you have a home
Oh my bones
I asked them how you been how you been my long lost friends?
They just stood there and grinned so I asked them once again
I asked them why they’d come I asked them where they’d been
They just laughed and said “We’ll soon see you again"
Oh my bones Oh my bones
Don’t leave me on my own
Oh my bones Oh my bones
You know here you have a home
Oh my bones
They took their clothes off and they rattled down the road
I ran to follow them but soon I could not go
Any further but I heard them as they shuffled out of sight
Deep down inside I felt my own bones shiver with delight
Oh my bones Oh my bones
Don’t leave me on my own
Oh my bones Oh my bones
You know here you have a home
Oh my bones
