"Leech"

"Leech"


Does it make you indie?
Does it make you proud?
To talk the world into a paper bag
Spotty stain of "I'm ok, you're not ok"
Yes, men too could be on the rag
I'm over my head I need a pick-me-up
Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man
Will anything ever be good enough for you?
Stand on your own, hold your water if you can
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
Not on my time
It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd
Your fictional, plastic alibi
So take another hit, steal another line
Did you ever meet a leech who was good at goodbyes?
When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
Not on my time
When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fairing well?!
The ride's over

"Let's Go Crazy"

"Let's Go Crazy"


Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
to get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
you can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
you know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends

you see I called my old lady
for a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
you better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away!

"Light Grenades"

"Light Grenades"


We're given a garden,
And gave back a parking lot
(We got about fifteen minutes to go...)
Before this audience starts
Throwing tomatoes, yeah!
(It's not the end, there is more show!
We got about fifteen minutes to go!)
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
(and pull that red T-lever down!)
To get their attention
start lobbing the Light Grenades
(that burst and blinf them with the truth,
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!)
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Wip off your face, we've come this far
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!!!

"Little Kitten, Big Litter Box"

"Little Kitten, Big Litter Box"


Nebulas bloom, planets collide and comets zoom around the checker board like a bratty little brother on his new blue bike leaving snail trails of ice in his wake
Ancient cosmic afterbirth floats helplessly on it's own inertia waiting impatiently for the next bullying gas giant to nudge it towards it's next destination and I sit in a Thai Restaurant basking in the curry, fretting over the uncertainty of the dawn
I need to arm myself like a rodent lower on the food chain readying itself for the next attack from all sides
The voice inside the box is certain that if I get what he has my armor will be complete, my hole will be filled, and the bombardment will cease
"This sweater does this, that gadget does those, and this magazine will address the most pertinent aspects of my dot, dot, dot, com" and I believe him! I don't want to but I do!
I am a little kitten in a big, shit filled litter box and I share this facility with a billion other fiercely independent felines who want badly to arm themselves too against the burdens of uncertainty and keep their paws clean in the meantime! meantime, meantime, meantime...
Yet the more I dig, the more I consume, the more I unfold, the less protected I feel
I am the spit on the hair of a son of an electron swimming around the nucleus of a cell inside the sperm of a killer bee and my purpose is as nebulous as why we've been bestowed with the capacity to give a shit

"Loneliest"

"Loneliest"


I have forgotten what it feels like
I don't remember it's true
It'll take all I have left to make this right
But I'd like to try it with you

I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight
I'm the loneliest I've ever been, that's right
I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight
I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight

I have forgotten what it tastes like
I don't remember, do you?
Oh, it'll take all I have left to work this out
Oh, push on 'til I'm breakin' through

Oh, I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight
I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight
I'm inspired by your proposition, but I don't trust my intuition
I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight

Yours is the curtain that I'd like to pull back
But I can't be certain that you're really real
Yours is the curtain that I'd like to pull back
But I can't be certain that you're really real
Reeeeeaaaaaal, rrreeeeaaalll, reeealllll
Are you really, really real?

I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight
I'm the loneliest I've ever been, that's right
I'm inspired by your proposition, but I don't trust my intuition
I'm inspired by your proposition, but I don't trust my intuition
So I guess I'm going digital tonight

"Look Alive"

"Look Alive"


The hardest thing is rendering a
Moment moving too fast to endure
But you abide and smile wide cause
I want to remember this for sure
You can give me guns and politics and
I'll just make a mess of it, you know
Give me all the sustinance and
The wiser wider part of me will show
Yeah yeah yeah

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Yeah every empty one of us have methods
To quell the madness of this pace
But yours have bled and are running south
Like jealous Dior mascara down your face
You could take that wait and all that fuss so
Now just get the best of us, you know
Give me love not suicide and
The wise wider part of me will show
Yeah yeah

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours!

Look alive... smile
Smile and look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah woah oh

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah, smile and look alive
Yeah woah!

"Love Hurts"

"Love Hurts"


Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
(I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.)
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat.
(As common as a cold day in LA.)
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
(Should I surface this one man submarine?)
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
(I'll never lose what I had as a boy.)
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

"Love In A Time Of Surveillance"

"Love In A Time Of Surveillance"


Way, way out in space there's an island
The natives are restless and violent
Not long ago they were silent
Now they buzz and hum
Oh how far they've come right
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
But please do explain to me brother
Why all the spying on each other?
To sell to me this, then the other
I need a nom de guerre
It's all so unfair
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
[x2]
I will embrace my assailants
Kill them with kindness and patience
Love in a time of surveillance
Is in such a fuss at Voyeurs-R-Us
You're a seed to fill
It's all grist for the mill, just
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
[x2]

"Made For TV Movie"

"Made For TV Movie"


I heard a word from on high
Glare like a light in the sky
It said, "quit blowing each other up"
A voicing so crystaline clear
Something's unclean in your ear
When only blood fills your cup
Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history repeating
It fell like a tear from my eye
Flying machines so up high
Well, there goes the neighborhood
A scene set to singe innocence
Upheave, unhinge, and pit against
Like every made for TV movie should
Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history repeating
Focus, Focus
Focus (I can see now)
We are, we know, we see, we think for you
The who, the what, the when, the where, the why
We build your young, we build you too, we see you all
Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
Focus
I'm witnessing history repeating

"Magic Medicine"

"Magic Medicine"


On this page you see a little girl giggling at a hippopotamus
I wonder why? Wonder why
On this page you see a little girl giggling at a hippopotamus
I wonder why? Wonder why
Turn the page, thank you
On this page you see a little girl giggling at a hippopotamus
I wonder why?
"Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't say things that hurt others," said pussycat
Pussycat, pussycat, pussycat, pussycat
Like, "Isn't that hippo fat?"
Fat, fat, fat, fat
Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat
Or shout "Hyena, I hate you"
Hate you, hate you, you hate you, hate you hate
I found a sound in the house one day
If you know who lost it, I'll give it away, away, away
This sound I found said, "This sound belongs to a hot ray."
Ray, hot, pot, pot
The magic medicine worked
