The Moon
01:32

Here I am in the room on the floor with the moon
I put my ear to her heart, listen close and then she starts:
"There's nothing more for you John you must believe it's all gone
you can't do what you want unless you haven't woken up."
I tell her, "yea, i'm still asleep, I'm in the middle of a dream
never mind enough of this, I'll wake up and call it Spit."
I want to put a knife inside all the dreams in my eyes
but one last look at the moon then she says, "I love you."

Numb Skull

took a walk feeling better these freaks can't stand the weather
when they're standing up atop a hill
and their heads ingest another pill
take two twice a day get used to skin decay
and wear your smile like a crown
feel the shame beating down
and wake up and stay up
write me bad checks
give me one sec
champagne halo flying over
heads will roll down without a sound
hold me down get my back leave before pitch black
and go away

Innocent
03:21
|

you had to run away
i had a feeling you lacked the strength to stay
cut the rope in half jump in the boat
paddle out in to the never known
you saw militaries around
and the shadows of their guns
that can't wait to kill
innocent people
tell me bout the time you escaped
once you had a murder to your name
you weren't cut out for getaways
but that's all that's left for you these days
harkenin back to the time we had turned our backs
and we whispered our plans in the ear of the world

Air Hockey
03:15
|
|||
wouldn't you know that i've been training
for the day that we start playin
and float above the ice like the lights
clear away my blinding hair
lift my legs above the air
hold my hands and make this fucker fly
so much blood upon the ice
punched the ref then punched him twice
clocked em right between the eyes
now i'm banned for life

Nijinsky of Dreams
03:18
|

i can kneel down beside of a creek and lift up the moon
i can kneel down beside a deathbed
by and by maybe i can tell you what it feels like
i might as well get use to feeling the blues
dreaming was like the talcum dust covering the casket i grew flowers in
my dream bullets richochet and if i wait forever one might hit me by chance

Burn the Town
03:32
|
|||
i am rubber you are glue
i am copper and so are you
i feel you man let's sit down
take my hand let's burn the town, yeah
why don't you set down your hands
entwine them in your lap
and then i'll see if you deserve handcuffs
you're doing better than the rest
with this thing we call a test
and if you ever want to leave, you'll get your chance

Dead Broke for Life
03:49
|

I believe in everything cause there's nothing to believe
he looks at the moon and sees a horse's wing
and auntie wants her cig back
and her face upon a postage stamp
to be mailed along to a distant land
a cozy bed of grass and dirt a hideaway beneath the earth
tell me how it feels to have a sense of worth
and ask me how i'm doing
and have i found what suits me
without losing it completely
show me how to count to ten and then believe me that i can
so you dare me to hold my breath and wait till i reach ten
i only had the nerve to lie but i can't count that high
so know it's not pretend when i pretend to die
if you wanna know why i couldn't go
ask another man who understands
everything is new i'm on mah knees
i wanna learn about the words and bees
measure my heart in bpm
cash it at the bank and make it bend
if you wanna care i'll be there
i guess you don't and i'm dead broke for life
I'm dead for life

Refill Me
02:14
|
|||
caught with a sharpie in the bathroom stall
no one was looking but myself
i wrote your name and your bookmarked dates
then i went back to fix the mistake
let's commemorate the missing dogs
let's hope they're safe and nothing's wrong
i can no longer take your stupid face
what you make is what i waste
i can't be the one to give you a second chance
but what i'll do is give you my helping hands
refill me, pick me up at the pharmacy
break the seal, smear me on your body

Minister in Leather
02:13
|
|||
well i'm lookin for the man with bounty of his head
i hope we can still be friends even when he's dead
the heart don't see what the eyes can't put together
he's gone into town to see the minister in leather

Posthumous Me
03:23
|
|||
please don't run away, the police have many guns
this town's in need of more than a couple thugs
and I'm laughing softly wishing I could go
my lungs are coughing hoping that you know
and I know no things that you haven't wept
away from the foyer that should be swept
crows are barking on the wire emanate the light
rode a hearse without a tire through the night
it's gonna hurt when you freeze alone inside the dessert
emotionally detached from your shirt wasting away on a hill of dirt
i have two lives
one's asleep, one's inside
what i love, is what's above/below
