Sick and Wired

Shakin with fright, blind gone my sight

oh the things we do

So much alcohol in my veins

it’s amazing I don’t just burst into flames

when I reach to light another cigarette

Well it smells like gasoline on my breath.

I’m sick and wired

And I’ve unplugged the phone

Bouncin’ off the walls cause I’m home alone and my skins grown pale

and I’ve chewed my fingernails to the bone.

I’m sick and wired (x2)

We’re doing okay

We’re feelin alright

One things for sure

that we won’t be sleeping tonight..

Well I’m twitching like a freak

up late shouting at the T.V, and I call good good lord

Won’t you pull these demons out of me

I’m sick and wired (x4)

We’re doing okay

We’re feelin alright

One things for sure

that we won’t be sleeping tonight

We’re alright with this ill sensation

We can get down with any kinda situation

We’re alright with this ill sensation

We can get down with any kinda situation

We’re alright!

Secrets

Darling, where’d you get those red eyes

I know you ain’t be crying

And darling, why you weave these stories

when we all know that you are lying

Fake, like American cheese

living your life in a clear plastic sheath

And Oh these secrets that we keep

I can feel them seeping out beneath

Pooling up a black pool at my feet

shining up reflections on me

whoaooohhh

yeahhhh

everybody knows

why you bother with hiding

Fake, like American cheese

living your life in a clear plastic sheath

And Oh these secrets that we keep

I can feel them seeping out beneath

Pooling up a black pool at my feet

shining up reflections on me

whoaooohhh

yeahhhh

everybody knows

why you bother with hiding

everybody knows

whoaooohhh, whoaooohhh

everybody knows

Magnolia

Magnolia, magnolia,

crawling out the T.V. Screens

Magnolia, magnolia

no things aren’t what they seem

Magnolia, magnolia

I’m cardboard

Cardboard can’t have dreams

Well I seen the preacher and he’s kissing and a licking on the misses

Oooh mister stop

that’s all she wishes

If he’s the one who saves … these days

we know bad business

Well I seen the devil and he’s dancing on Daniel’s teeth

kicking black holes with his red hot fiery feet

Smile, smile for the devil

and do as you please

Don’t matter how good you come

you gotta go

Don’t matter how good you come

you gotta go

ohhh pack your bags

and your sinning soul

Oh you can rest at ease

Strong these big old arms

big old oak tree

it goes

Magnolia, magnolia,

crawling out the T.V. Screens

Magnolia, magnolia

no things aren’t what they seem

Magnolia, magnolia

I’m cardboard

Cardboard can’t have dreams

Skyscraper

Didn’t call for any answers

but you answered

that’s my way

who’d of felt so alone in a pool of a million

but a skyscraper still shakes

Hello, hello

are you there?

I know you by name but you just don’t

care, care, care for me

when you say

Baby you’ve been calling for my dollar on the hour

you dial the operator just to hear the sound

but he’s not around

heart heart two of us a part is broken and I’m left here all alone

I thought these calls were recorded

and I’m right here on the phone

Mechanical problems

I just can’t start

my cold mechanical heart

1-900 tell me who cares

who cares ?

You say

Baby you’ve been calling for my dollar on the hour

you dial the operator just to hear the sound

Oh my dear

you’ve been hanging by that phone for weeks and hours

You dump your ashtray out on the ground

but he’s not around

We’re mechanical people with a rhythmic hearts (3 times)

We’re mechanical people but don’t set us apart….

We’re mechanical people with a rhythmic hearts (x3)

We’re mechanical people but don’t set us apart….

And I know you’ve got a soul

and I know you can be held

and I’m stuck here on the other line

holding, holding

We’re mechanical people with a rhythmic hearts (x3)

We’re mechanical people but don’t set us apart….

Sinner’s Dream

They say that lucky men, like cats have got nine lives

watch me and I’ll lose em all

Yeah I won’t even try

In the morning you’ll come wake me and you’ll find that I’ve gone

you’ll feel your luck a changing where you think that’s come from

And I said oh preacher, preacher

can’t you wave and make me clean

he said I’m sorry son that’s just a sinner’s dream (x2)

and I said oh oh oh oh

my sinning soul

and I said oh oh oh oh

my sinning soul

Well mister lucifer pour that liquor three rings deep

you can get my lips a flapping

but we both know talk is cheap

and I can tell the truth from liars

yeah we both know what they seem

well I heard you bed with many

but you’ve never bed with me

And I said oh preacher, preacher

can’t you wave and make me clean

he said I’m sorry son that’s just a sinner’s dream (x2)

and I said oh oh oh oh

my sinning soul

and I said oh oh oh oh

my sinning soul

In the morning you’ll come wake me and you’ll find that I’ve gone

you’ll got your luck a changing where you think that’s come from

And dirty old satan

he’ll be sucking on my bones

just as soon as my wicked body’s gone

And I said oh preacher, preacher

can’t you wave and make me clean

he said I’m sorry son that’s just a sinner’s dream (x2)

and I said oh oh oh oh

my sinning soul

Dinosaur

You looks so good, you looks so good, you looks so good,

you looks so good, you looks so good, you looks so good,

you looks so good,

just like tiny

just like a tasty little treat

You can run, oh you can run, but you can’t hide

you can run, oh you can run, oh you can run, but you can’t hide

from me and my tyrannosaurus eyes

you got away, you got away

from my little arms

you got away, you got away, you got away

from my dinosaur arms,

I’m gonna get you

that’s for sure

I’m a motherfucking

giant T-Rex dinosaur

Oh look I caught ya

oh look I caught ya

Now I’m gonna eat you up

Oh look I caught ya

oh look I caught ya

Now I’m gonna eat you up

You taste good

Yum Yum Yum

Oh I’m so full

But I’m lonely too

Oh I’m so full

But man I’m missing you

I should not have eaten my only friend

From now on this dinosaur is a vegetarian

I should not have eaten my only friend

From now on this dinosaur is a vegetarian

Monster

Take off your jaw

throw it in the water

Take off your jaw

throw it in the water

and you can walk around town

watch the scared people and their faces hang down

and oh what a monster

they’ll say he is

So you can nibble on my ear

I won’t hear or feel a thing at all

So you can nibble on my ear

I won’t hear or feel a thing at all

This body’s devoid of nerves

the feelings have grown inert

and oh what a monster

they’ll say he is

Go and paint an image on my eyes I won’t realize

My optics don’t work

So it’s grown mighty dark in here

and oh what a monster

he’s the worst one of em all

And I know there’s a place

where you don’t have to think or feel or dream

and I know we’ve been living out our lives on the T.V. Screen

and if that’s called being a monster

I’m the worst one of em all (x6)

Alleycats

Amber lights dim in the haze

out in the alley where the alley cats play

Gin in the glove box

the rings on their hands

hold stolen gems from far away lands

Temper, temper

you watch what you say

it’ll be recorded

it’ll be replayed

Puff out your gossip

and suck in a cough

We’re waiting for them shoes to drop

Feel her claws in the small of your back

Relax… you like it like that

Clever kitten

she’s got her prey

Another story that she will trade

We’ve all got our ways

Of wasting our precious time

Tell me now that I’ve found yours

Can you take a guess at mine

Thinning shadows beginning the day

Red morning chase the darkness away

Now I can see all the things I’ve done wrong

Glistening with dew in the break of dawn

Draw your face and be ashamed

Root round in the mess you’ve made

Turned your back on all the good that you’ve done

and you can feel them slender fingers run.

Flick a match and sit up awake

Watch the smoke and the shape that it makes

Listen close to the creaking board

in the stairway just past the door

We’ve all got our ways of wasting our precious time

Tell me now that I’ve found yours

Can you take a guess at mine (x2)
