"Bone"

"Bone"


[Kim]
Dry as a bone, take it to heart
Don't look back, you're the one
That's alright, straight from the bone
Walk on by, look to the left
Touched by none, that's alright
That's alright, dark as ink
You are the one, Lord just thirteen
No matter fun, truth never seen
Dry as a bone, dry as a bone
Hands in yr pants, tied to the tree
Rocked back and forth, hips in the leaves
Thighs in the bark, make me free
That's alright

You are the one, don't look back
Strength from the heart, walk on by
That's alright, that's alright
White boy say, yr just fine
First to the last, take it okay
Momma don't know, walk straight by
Look to the left, you are the one
Poor little bone, shiver inside
Fast talking walk, bone girl go inside
That's alright, that's alright
Don't look back, push yr hips up
Yr gonna be free, just for a while

"Brave Men Run (In My Family)"

"Brave Men Run (In My Family)"


[Kim]
Seven days and seven nights
I dreamt a sailor's dream at sea
Seven days and seven nights
I dreamt a sailor's dream of me
Seven days and siven nights
The world was made and lost again
Seven days and seven nights
Brave men run
In my family
Brave men run
Into the setting sun
Brave men run
Into captivity
Brave men run
In my family

Brave men run
Away from me

"Brother James"

"Brother James"


"Take my hand" he said to me
Follow now or you'll be damned
Let's go to the other side
Let's go to the other side
Great balls of simplicity
Great balls of simplicity
Brother James gave em to me
Brother James gave em to me
I don't need em anymore
Don't go knockin' at my door
I don't need em anymore
Don't go knockin' at my door

Take my hand, you might as well
We're going straight to hell
I don't wanna hang around
Won't you stick yr head in the ground

"Bull In The Heather"

"Bull In The Heather"


[Kim]
10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna hold me
Tell me that you wanna bore me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to slowly
Tell me that yr burning for me
Tell me that you can't afford me
Time to tell yr dirty story
Time f'r turning over and over
Time f'r turning four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather

10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna scold me
Tell me that you a-dore me
Tell me that you're famous for me
Tell me that yr gonna score me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to sorely
Time to tell yr love story
Time f'r turning over and over
Time f'r turning four leaf clover
Betting on the bull in the heather

"Calming The Snake"

"Calming The Snake"


Come on down, down to the river
Come on down I want to feel you shiver
Dark on the edges, golden on top
Floatin down the river
Yr so hot
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh
[repeat]

Come on down, down to the river
Come on down I want to feel you shiver
The sight of death is sure to deliver,
Come on down I want to hear you quiver
Oh oh ooh
Corpses' drapery
Rusting, sliding, sliding,
Sliding
Endless

"Candle"

"Candle"


[Thurston]
I see a dog star divin' at his magic, snatchin'
Keeps me up awake go crystal cracking
I can't wait
I can't stay, a candle
Gotta change my mind before it burns out

I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

I see a falling snowgirl walking Broadway
Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way
It's alright
It's alight candle
And I know she'll be okay by Sunday

I'm the Cocker on the rock
Humming bash starts shining
In your electric clock

It's safe to say, candle
Tonight's the day, candle
It's alright now, candle
The wind's away, candle
Never thought I'd see a dog star falling

I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

"Chapel Hill"

"Chapel Hill"


[Thurston]
A-back in the days when the battles raged, and we thought it was nothing
A bookstore man meets the CIA, and we know
Throw me a cord and plug it in, get the cradle rocking
Ah, out with the redneck pig old men, and it's go

The hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memories in the shadow
Back in time again

Ah, I can't forget your terrorized face, when you cried for the shameless
Wasted life Ameri-K-K-Kan, and you smile
So why should we run when we cannot hide, and my flag is burning?
We could be wrong but that's allright, we'll rise again

The hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memories in the shadow
It's back in town again

Lookin' away it's another day, and of course we love you
Radical man is the CIA, and we say no
We'll round up the Durham H.C. kids, and the Char Grill Killers
Jesse H. come into our pit, all ages show

The hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memories in the shadow
It's back in time again

"Cinderella's Big Score"

"Cinderella's Big Score"


[Kim]
If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You'd rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis

You really fucked up this time
Your old lady's really pissed
She's not just laughing
She's polishing her fist

If you could give me anything
Would you consider a fist?
Don't give me yr soul
It's caught is an abyss

Here's a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonder lips
A dream, a wish, a heart's desires
Cinderella is a kiss

A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Ome a little closer honey
You can be so near

Mind your heart aside you (?)
Really got no sense of time (?)
Ninety-nine inside you (?)
That I'm scared if you were cryin'

If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You'd rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis

A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near

"Confusion Is Next"

"Confusion Is Next"


[Thurston]
I maintain that
Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Tell nothing but the truth
