"Junkie's Promise"

"Junkie's Promise"


[Thurston]
A hundred dollars used to be more than enough
And now a hundred times a day and still it's not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all is all I've heard

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else

To blame you know that I know yeah that times are rough
I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough
People always tell me that you've got to lend a helping hand
Nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you did and now there's no one else

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say: "I can't escape myself"
And then you do and now there's no one else

"Karen Koltrane"

"Karen Koltrane"


Karen's moving out
Out into the sky
Karen trips on a cloud
Sets down w stars in her eyes
She's alone in a room
She's deep inside of her mind
Karen's leaving for the snow
Somewhere to somewhere... blind
She cut the silver lining in my soul
I was tethered to her for a time
Are we still together?
Will she stay forever?
(will she stay?... beside...
Flashlight... Karen stay... [etc.])
A LOVE SUPREME
Karen, yr hanging on the line
Wraps yr coat tight around
Karen, yr eyes are on the prize
I'll catch you on my way down

"Karen Revisited"

"Karen Revisited"


Heard your name the other day
It's been a long, long time
Ancient history, some would say
Another state of mind
You smell of memory
Felt-tipped electric child

She takes a plastic pill
She plays the weatherman
She screams "Religion kills
More than it saves you, man"
She painted filigrees
She was the acid queen
She claims society
Is just a fever dream

Now you live in the trees and salty seas
Trippin' out in the blue skies
You shut the door on everything
Too busy getting high
And me, just another dream theory
Lost inside your eyes

She's not in your history books
Lost her mind and kept her looks
Down beneath the radar screen
She's lit up like gasoline
Been thru a million kix
Looking for the one that sticks
Never would've known it then
I might not see her again

Top hats and tails for thrills
Red lips and famous hands
Sidelong and glancing still
In tiny dancer land

We kissed
Time slipped
Hard edged
Tight lipped
See you
Some time
Ask me if I care

Karen
Miss communication
Karen
Karen

"Kill Yr Idols"

"Kill Yr Idols"


I don't know why
You wanna impress Christgau
Ah let that shit die
And find out the new goal

Kill yr idols
Sonic death
It's the end of the world
Your confusion is sex

Kill yr idols
Sonic death
It's the end of the world
Your confusion is sex

"Kim Gordon And The Arthur Doyle Hand Cream"

"Kim Gordon And The Arthur Doyle Hand Cream"


[Kim]
Yr bounce to the ounce makes us wanna pounce
Yr just being totally perfect
On Larry King you said you were tired
Time to put to bed yr competitive edge
They say you can't say no to Brahma
Now you don't have to try so hard
The label says you don't have to wear less clothes
It's time to take a bubble bath

[Chorus:]
Hey hey little baby breakdown
Button up baby you come undone
Hey hey little baby get down
Before you fall and hurt someone

You say you need privacy
Broken glass everywhere
Maybe you need an emo boy
No underwear on the director's chair
You are seemingly unconscious
Of what yr body is doing
Like Miss Monroe yr head don't know
Exactly what yr body's doing

[Chorus]

On TV you're soft and whispery
Delicate like angel food cake
They say if you press too hard on it
It will squish into a dense ball
It will lose its fluffiness
That's what you get when you use a box mix
Can you get some satisfaction
How much are you willing to pay?

[Chorus]

What's yr gut feeling about the new deal
How's the label gonna remake you?
How was yr date with Eminem
Did he bake you and then forsake you
Is innocence gonna still overtake you
Like Arthur Doyle they can't fake you
Oh Mariah you are endless
Like the wind, you feel defenseless

[Chorus]

"Kissability"

"Kissability"


[Kim]
Look into my eyes, don't you trust me
Yr so good you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you want to
You could be a star
You could go far
You've got twistability
You fly hard, don't you wanna
You've got kissability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

Yr driving me crazy, I feel so sick
Yr driving me crazy, give us a kiss

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me
Yr so soft, you make me hard
I'll put you on a movie, don't you wanna
You could be a star, you could go far
You've got kissability
You sigh hard, don't you wanna
You've got twistability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

Yr driving me crazy, you smell so sick
I feel so tired, you made me sick
Yr driving me crazy, if I feel so sick
Yr driving me crazy, if I feel so sick

Look into my eyes, don't you dis' me
You're so good, you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna
You could be a star, you could go far
You've got twistability
You fly hard, don't you wanna
You've got kissability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

You're driving me crazy, I feel so sick
You're driving me crazy, give us a kiss

"Kool Thing"

"Kool Thing"


[Kim]
Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a chance here
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I'll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so
[Chuck D]
Yeah, tell'em about it,
Hit'em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down
There's something I go to ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don't be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool thing, kool thing

When you're a star, I know you'll fix everything
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

Kool thing walkin' like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool thing walkin' like a panther
What'd he say?
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

"Kotton Crown"

"Kotton Crown"


[Thurston & Kim]
Love has come to stay in all the way
Its gonna stay forever and every day
It feels like a wish coming true
It feels like an angel dreaming of you
Feels like heaven forgiving and getting
Feels like we're fading and celebrating
You got a carnal spirit spraying
I'm gonna laugh it up
You got a cotton crown I'm gonna keep it underground
You're gonna take control of the chemistry
And you're gonna manifest the mystery
You got a magic wheel in your memory
I'm wasted in time and I'm looking everywhere
I don't care where
I don't care where
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you

New York City is forever kitty
I'm wasted in time and you're never ready
Fading fading celebrating
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got it

"Leaky Lifeboat (For Gregory Corso)"

"Leaky Lifeboat (For Gregory Corso)"


Leaky lifeboat
Sleeps off shore
Now we're sailing backwards
To the freaky north

My brother the wind
He's got to know
We've got to get it together
And blow

Slipping sideways
Get it straight
The siren sonars
Are tempting fate

Fates in a pleasant mood today
I don't get around much, but hey
I got to say
The sun's got to play

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Leaky lifeboat
Called to shore
You got another
Chance to score

My brother the wind
He's got to know
We've got to get it together
And blow
Before the sun gets cold
Cold to gold

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
