Well (Help)
02:23
|
|||
I fell down a well
Help
It's cold as hell
full of bugs and rats
Help
Lots of people fall down wells
They're down here with me
its dark I can't see
(help)
Help
It's cold as hell
In the water well
What's that smell?
Help
I don't fell well

Charlie Chum
02:09
|
|||
Charlie Chum don't do no work
sleeps all day, lies all night
Hunts for bodies in the dark
their brains are dim, their eyes are bright
Charlie Chum's got a forked tongue
half is silver, half is mud
He doesn't think about which he uses
chooses words like cows chew cud
Charlie Chum you shoulda seen this coming
Charlie Chum can't tell a lie
he believes every word he speaks
Nothing that he holds as sacred,
steals the fruit right off the tree
Charlie Chum has got two hands
one swats flies, one deals cards
Deck is cut, game draws blood
sharks tear Charlie Chum apart
Charlie Chum you shoulda seen this coming
Charlie Chum you shoulda seen this coming

Get Out Of Town
02:18
|
|||
Get out of town
your welcome has run out
Scrub these walls with a brillo pad
to get your slime out of this house
You left many things behind
none of which was a friend
Hurry off, little one
your new life will begin
Get out of town
I changed the locks on all the doors
cause I don't trust you with the key
If you had an ounce of decency
you would please
Get out of Town
If I ever see you again
it'll be too soon
Get out of Town
Get out of Town
Get the hell out of town
Get out of my town

Fire On The Hill
01:35
|
|||
Trouble is following me through the long grass
headed up to the fire on top of the hill
Beer in my hand, out on the land
Voices beside me as I sit near the flames
the horses make noise as they trot through the dark
Beer in my hand, out on the land
Laughing is loud, the crickets are chirping,
the black hills are rolling, the sky is a dome
Beer in my hand, out on the land
Beer in my hand, out on the land

Human Scum

human scum
human scum
dump the waste
block the sun
human scum
eat the lard
charge it to
a credit card
tight grip
tight grip
don't let it slip
don't let it slip
human scum
pass the buck
fill it up
suck the pump
watch tv's
get disease
buy all three
get one free
human scum
grease the wheel
scrub the meat
make the deal
kill the cow
clear the land
lick the ring
kiss the hand
tight grip
tight grip
don't let it slip
don't let it slip
human scum
wet your lips
a bowl of jelly
at fingers tips
rotting flesh
covered in tar
you will go far
human scum you are
human scum
human scum
tight grip
tight grip
don't let it slip
don't let it slip
human scum
human scum

Swamp Drag 2

|

At night the only noies is crickets
and the beating of my heart
My thoughts become spirals
I don't feel right for this planet
I'll stay out here
until I die
and slowly rot away
and let the swamp
drag me off
swamp, drag me off
swamp, drag me off
Beady eyes stare up at me
from dark and stagnant waters
Smells of decomposing matter
replace the stench of oil and grease
I'll stay out here
until I die
and slowly rot away
and let the swamp
drag me off
swamp, drag me off
swamp, drag me off
No more platinum religions
No more loaded chambers
No more hamburger idols
I'll stay out here
until I die
and slowly rot away
and let the swamp
drag me off
swamp, drag me off
swamp, drag me off
swamp, drag me off

The Ringing
00:56
|
|||
Phone's ringing
I don't know
I don't know who it is
Its probably that voice again
that voice telling me stuff
Reminds me of my alarm clock
telling me that dream is over
That dream I really like
the one where
I'm drinking milk
and you can see all my teeth
And the ringing wants to wake me up

Butterknife
02:42
|
|||
Jack is bleeding by the roadside
Sally's in the car
The trunk is full of silver trinkets
Sky is full of stars
There was a time they were content
to get what they could take
Sometimes a lamb will eat a lion
when there's something else at stake
It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was
Jack is full of beer and anger
Sally's full of space
He'd cost her more than she had earned
and he could be replaced
Their eyes are locked across the distance
A whisper is a shout
Both their questions have an answer
they'll never figure out
It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was
Jack curls up into a ball
and slowly goes to sleep
Sally pulls him to the water
he doesn't make a peep
Life for him was short and hot
Her's is long and cold
He is floating down a river
she's driving down a road
It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was

Savior Pill

Call 1-800-Savior-Pill
It'll set you straight when you're feeling ill
"Act now, don't hesitate,
supplies are limited,
Amen"
Shouldn't you have some relief?
Call to see if you qualify
and get a savior for your grief
Legs are restless
Soul's in strife
Side-effects include
ever-lasting life
"Act now, don't hesitate,
supplies are limited,
Amen"
Unsightly belly-fat becoming obscene?
Don't be a martyr, call the number on your screen
Seasonal Allergies becoming a pest?
Confess to your doctor and he'll do the rest
"Savior Pill should not be taken by women who
are nursing or immaculately pregnant. In rare cases
Savior Pill is known to cause stigmata. Savior Pill should
not be taken while operating heavy machinery or
carrying heavy burdens. Do not take Savior Pill with
water or wine. Amen."
Its never been easier to get rid of your sins
Open your heart and let Savior Pill in

Hollywood Car
02:31
|
|||
Going for a ride in your Hollywood Car
They watch from afar
They know who you are
another Hollywood star
Hollywood isn't a workplace rat race
Its a high speed chase
cut off your nose
to spite your face
Implant yourself like all the others
step over your mother
skin is glossy
like a magazine cover
Hollywood Car
You'll go far
Bought and sold
Don't get old
Smile through your teeth and ignore the poor
you got your foot in the door
you've had fifteen
and you want some more
Going for a ride in your Hollywood car
They watch from afar
They know who you are
another Hollywood star
Hollywood star
in your Hollywood Car

Pancakes (Four Stack)
03:13
|
|||
1.
I ate too many pancakes
I guess that was a mistake
I ate too many pancakes
Now I got a bellyache
Two stacks too many
to be exact
Stomach feels like
a larval sac
A bigger man can handle that
I guess now I'm a bigger man
2.
I ate too many pancakes
I guess that was a mistake
Each bite is another
spoon sized hole in my grave
I'm hunger's slave
I'll be working till the day
they don't make pancakes
Starch and sugar and syrup sweet
I'll take 'em over greens or meat
3.
I ate too many pancakes
I guess that was a mistake
Life without pancakes
is a hell on earth
I don't mind
my massive girth
The only difference
'tween beast and man
is an animal can't
make a cake in a pan
An international house
is my home
I'd rather be there
than Paris or Rome
4.
I ate too many pancakes
I guess that was a mistake
The only way I'll have my fill
is when they make one good enough to kill
When they find me bloated in the gutter
they can cover my coffin in syrup and butter
Until that day I'll eat as much as I can take
Keep your hands off my pancakes

Specimen
03:25
|
|||
I live my life
in a plastic case
All I do
is wait and pace
Rats are dead
pigs are too
The doctor says
this one's for you
"This will only hurt a little."
His skin is pale
and his coat is white
He looks like a ghost
in flourescent light
Needle's full
of purple juice
He pushes the plunger
let's it loose
"Administer every twenty-four hours."
He appears
every day
Forces that stuff
into my veins
I feel sick
time goes by
I wonder if
I'm going to die
"Keep a close eye on this one."
My hair falls out
My skin's on fire
My heart is racing
I'm always wired
Running in circles
No place to go
My brain feels like
it will explode
"The effects are taking hold"
"The specimen is behaving as expected"
I'm alive
I'm blind
I'm deaf
and paralyzed
Hot and cold
Big and fat
Now what am I
after that?
"The experiment was a complete success"
"Okay, good job, everybody."
