Lyrics
Fine place for a day full of breakdowns-
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how-
Throw a ta(c)k on the road, stop the meatplow-
Got a bullet but it ain't mine.
They got these pictures of everything-
To break us down, yeah to break me down-
They make us hate and we make it bleed.
But I got a lover and yeah
She shows me how,
To understand it, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well
He shows me how,
To make amends, yeah to make amends with it.
Take a break from the mousetrap we call home-
Takes more than a message to make me smile-
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping-
But not when the news is on.

Lyrics
One time a thing occured to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
(chorus)
You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies, and you will.

Lyrics
It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't let me drown me
I wanna f@(*, wanna f@(* but do you need me?
I can't give what I take away, and the other understands
She said she'd be my woman, she said she be my man
I can't live this way
Please refill my soul

Lyrics (some of my favorite!)
(intro, followed by riff a)
Waiting, on a Sunday afternoon,
For what I read between the lines-your lies.
Feeling, like a hand in rusted shame,
So do you laugh or does it cry?
Reply.
(riff a)
Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by,
All of these things you said to me.
(riff a)
Breathing, is the hardest thing to do,
With all I've said and all that's dead for you,
You lied-Goodbye.
(chorus)

Lyrics
Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car
Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today, no conversation
Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long, to wait too long
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Too much trippin', and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride, it leaves today, her name is what it means
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
(chorus)
Conversations kill, Conversations kill...

Lyrics
(intro)
Moderation is masturbation
What is what and what makes you feel good
All these things I think about
I think about-
Always come unglued
Yeah-I got this thing it's coming over me
I got this thing that's coming over me
I got this feeling comin over me, over me-yeah
(intro)
This confusion is my illusion
Nowhere to look, but know where to find you
All these things I'm sick about, I'm sick about-
Always come unglued

and a liberal dose of phaser...so everyone, pull out yer
phasers and apply them heavily!)

Lyrics
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't live with the way I pray
Why do we all have to look this way
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain
Time, time is not on my side
Cause the way I am
Gotta gotta find the reason why
A woman ain't a man
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray
Why do you all have to think this way
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain
Fall in those single file lines
Like army ants
Yeah, fall on into those single file lines
And complete the plan

Somebody told me. I know where to go.
Somebody showed me. I was last to know.
Sell me down the river.

Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee
Unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need.
