Elevate Me Later

well you greet the tokens and stamps
beneath the fake-oil burnin' lamps
in the city we forgot to name
the concourse is four-wheeled shame
and the courthouse's double-breast
i'd like to check out your public protests
why you're complaining Ta!
you sleep with electric guitars
range rovin' with the cinema stars
and i wouldn't want to shake their hands
'cause they're in such a high-protein land
because there's 40 different shades of black
so many fortresses and ways to attack
so why you complaining? Ta!

darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
do you think it's gonna make him change?
";i'm just a boy with a new haircut";
and that's a pretty nice haircut
charge it like a puzzle, hit me wearin' muzzles
hesitate to die, look around, around, the second drummer's drowned
his telephone is found
music scene is crazy, bands start up each and every day
i saw another one just the other day
a special new band
i remember lying
i don't remember lies
i don't remember what
but i don't care, i care, i really don't care
did you see the drummer's hair?
advertising looks and chops a must
no big hair!!
songs mean a lot
when songs are bought
and so are you-
bitch, rant down to the practice room
attention and fame so
career, career, career....

lane driver
the forces against you, the rain
i know everybody wants to put you down
but i know everybody's gonna put me down
i want you
because i'm rushing to feel you
but i won't set you down, i don't need to
[x2]
fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
don't try try try try try
it's a brand new era, it feels great
it's a brand new era but it came too late
she won't let you know that i need a right to touch her
she won't let you wait for me
for me to touch you
crowds of the people and voices and steeples and wedding rings
wild are the horses and break-up divorces and seperate rooms from
My my my my my my my
I love your tinted eyes
So bad, so bad, so so bad so so bad
She won't let me break you out
When the picture's cut it free
three of us is enough
it's the simple stuff i need
can't you see the stuff i need?
can't you see?
can't you stuff me?
stuff me.

down to Santa Rosa HALF MOON BAY
across the grapevine to L.A.
we've got deserts, we've got trees
we've got the hills of Beverly
let's burn the hills of Beverly!!
walk with your credit card in the air!!
swing your nachos like you just don't care!! (your guess is as good as mine)
this is the slow sick sucking part of me
this is the slow sick sucking part of me
and when i'm sucking kisses diee..worrkk [??]
up to the top of shasta gulch
and to the bottom of the tahoe lakes
manmade deltas and concrete rivers
the south takes what the north delivers
you fill hack???
lost in the foothills of my MIND
drinking STERNO, say good night
to the LAST PSYCHEDELIC BAND
FROM sac'to, northern cal.
FROM sac'to northern cal.
take it; neighbor; cuz you're my neighbor;
and i mean famous; you're my neighbor;
you do me favors; cuz i'm your neighbor;
i'm not your neighbor, you bakersfield trash.
traaaaaash! traaaaaash!!!

after the glow, the scene, the stage, the set
talk becomes slow but there's one thing i'll never forget:
hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent.
over the turnstile turn out in the traffic
there's ways of living it's the way i'm living
right or wrong, it's all that i can do,
and i wouldn't want to let you be
i want a range life, if i could settle down,
if i could settle down, then i would settle down
[x2]
run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat
pass me your gloves, there's crime and it's never complete
until you snort it up or shoot it down
you're never gonna feel free
out on my skateboard the night is just hummin'
and the gum smacks are the pulse i'll follow if my walkman fades
but i've got absolutely no one, no one but myself to blame
don't worry- we're in no hurry
school's out, what did you expect?
i want a range life, if i could settle down,
if i could settle down, then i would settle down
[x2]
out on tour with the smashing pumpkins
nature kids, i/they don't have no function
i don't understand what they mean
and i could really give a fuck.
the stone temple pilots,
they're elegant bachelors
they're foxy to me are they foxy to you?
i will agree there isn't absolutely nothing
nothing more than me
dreamin' dream dream dream....

Heaven Is A Truck

heaven is a truck
it got stuck
on the breeze
asked the driver nicely,
i need a lift?
i need release.
the sand in the boats,
on the rose-covered floats
she is the queen of a canceled Pasadena thrill
(california)
i know arks can't fly
i know the sharks, they don't have wings
but lady you need some cold advice
about a few things
loosen my dress
tie me up just like all the rest
she is the queen of a canceled Pasadena, thrill
(california)
[repeats]
[although they may say 'castle' a time or two]

Hit The Plane Down

Hey lady, what do you need?
Do you think you'd like to come and bleed with me?
I'd like to invite you to a taste of my chalice
It's a special one, it's made of gold
(passed out)
Passed out on your couch
You left me there (thank you)
Let me sleep it off
I need to sleep it off
I need to sleep why don't you let me
I need to sleep why don't you
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep, why won't you let me
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
Why won't you, why won't you let me sleep?
The jam kids on the vespas
And glum looks on their faces
The street is full of punks
They got spikes
See those rockers with their long curly locks
Goodnight to the rock and roll era
Cause they don't need you anymore
Little girl, boy, girl,
bo...................y
Their composures are so distracted
Jasper's skinny arms
And the dance faction, a little too loose for me
Every night it's straight and narrow
Laws are broken, amusing era
walls are broke in the music era
Round and round and round and round she goes....
...
Pull out their plugs and they snort up their drugs
When they pull out their plugs and they snort up their drugs
Their throats are filled with
