Title
- From the top of the ocean - Yeah
- From the bottom of the sky -Goddamn
- Well I get claustrophobic
- I can you know that I can
- And he said:
- keep in line you're an old friend stranger.
- you'll burn me if effigy and I'll burn you in effigy."
- A rattle snake up in buffalo Montana
- he bit the leg of the old sheriff
- Ha! That boy fell down on his harelip -Ow! Ow!
- Well I might be wrong
- but you you tag along
- and we we all been wronged
- and I get dizzier by the mile
- Said hell! The money's spent
- went to the county line
- and paid the rent said "Uh-oh."
- Oh! If you could compact your conscience
- Oh! And you might.
- Oh! If you could bottle and sell it you might have done
- Oh! And you might
- Oh! If you could compact your conscience
- and sell it save it for another time
- you might have to use it.
- And the televisions gone
- Go to the grocery store, buy some new friends
- and find out the beginning, the end, and the best of it
- Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?
- Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine
- He sparkles shimmers shines
- let's all have another Orange Julius
- This syrup standing in lines
- The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
- so long, farewell, good-bye
- Take 'em all for the long ride
- and you'll go around town
- no one wants to be uptight anymore
- You can be ashamed
- or be so proud of what you've done
- but not no one, not now, not ever or anyone
- take 'em all for the sense of happiness
- that comes from hurting deep down inside
- Or you can walk th line and give a shit
- I'm on the corner of this and this and this and this
- and its all all wrong, and its all all gone
- Well, you can add it up and give a shit
- go to the family doctor
- Its all worth it
- and its all all gone, and its all all wrong
- Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine
- He sparkles shimmers shines
- let's all have another Orange Julius
- Thick syrup standing in lines
- The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
- so long, farewell, good-bye
- And the telephone goes off
- pick to receiver up, try to meet ends
- and find out the beginning, the end and the best of it
- Soon the chain reaction started in the parking lot
- Waiting to bleed on the big streets
- That bleed out on the highways and
- Off to others cities built to store and
- sell these (plastic) rocks
- Well aren't you feeling real dirty
- Sitting in the parking lot[x2]
- Waiting to bleed on the big streets
- That bleed out on the highways and
- Off to other cities built to make and
- store these rocks
- Well aren't you feeling real dirty
- Sitting in your car with nothing
- Waiting to bleed on the big streets
- That bleed out on the highways and
- Off to other cities built to store and sell
- There's nothing
- Convenient parking (is way back, way back)[x3]
- She was going with a cinematographer
- Everyone knew that he was really a pornographer
- They went down to the dance and grind
- And everybody was feeling fine
- She was talking with syllable lisp
- And everybody she knew was gonna get the twist
- And they all went down and did the porqupine
- And everybody was feeling high
- You are so hot
- I would like to steal your digits
- And I'm so hung up on it
- I would like to
- Move away from it
- We are so caught up with things
- We should pull eachother's triggers
- And I'm off
- She was going with a cinematographer
- Everyone knew that he was really a pornographer
- They went down to the dance and grind
- And everybody was feeling fine
- She was talking with syllable lisp
- And everybody she knew was gonna get the twist
- And they all went down and did the porqupine
- And everybody was feeling high
- I've got a girlfriend out of the city
- I know I like her, I think she is pretty[x4]
- Last call!
- It's closing time
- I'm on the road to god don't know
- My brain's the burger and my heart's the charcoal
- It's closing time
- I was in heaven
- I was in hell
- Believe in neither
- But fear them as well
- This one's a doctor
- This one's a lawyer
- This one's a cash fiend
- taking your money
- Back of the metro
- Ride on the greyhound
- Drunk on the Amtrak
- Please shut up
- Another rider
- He was a talker
- Talking about TV
- Please shut up
- This one's a crazer
- Daydreaming disaster
- The origin of junk food
- Rutting through garbage
- Tasty but worthless
- Dogs eat their own shit
- We're doing the cockroach yeah
- Doin the cockroach yeah
- Doin the cockroach yeah (alright, not bad)[x3]
- One year
- Twenty years
- Forty years
- Fifty years
- Down the road in your life
- You'll look in the mirror
- And say, "My parents are still alive."
- You move your mouth
- You shake your tongue
- You vibrate my eardrums
- You're saying words
- But you know I ain't listening
- You're walking down the street
- Your face
- Your lips
- Your hips
- Your eyes
- They meet
- You're not hungry though
- Well late last winter
- Down below the equator
- They had a summer that would make you blister
- Oh my mind is all made up
- So I'll have to sleep in it[x3]
- Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
- And a paper plate of course, you think of everything
- Short love with a long divorce
- And a couple of kids of course
- They don't mean anything
- Live in trailers with no class
- goddamn I hope I can pass high school means nothing
- Taking heartache with hard work
- Goddamn I am such a jerk, I can't do anything
- And I shout that you're all fakes
- And you should have seen the look on your face
- And I guess that's what it takes
- When comparing your bellyaches
- And it's been a long time
- Which agrees with this watch of mine
- And I guess that I miss you, and I'm sorry
- if I dissed you
- This plane is definately crashing
- This boat is obviously sinking
- This building's totally burning down
- And my, and my (a whole bunch)
- And my heart has slowly dried up
- well all the apostles-they're sitting in swings
- saying "i'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
- and some sandles with the style of straps that cling best to the era"
- so all of the businessers in their unlimited
- hell where they buy and they sell and they sell all their
- trash to each other but they're sick of it all
- and they're bankrupt on selling
- and all of the angels
- they'd sell off yer soul for a set of new wings and anything gold
- they remember
- the people they loved their old friends
- and i've seen through'em all seen through'em all and seen through most everything
- all the people you knew were the actors
- all the people you knew were the actors
- well, i'll go to college and i'll learn some big words
- and i'll talk real loud
- goddamn right i'll be heard
- you'll remember all the guys that said all those big words he must've
- learned in college
- and it took a long time
- i came clean with myself
- i come clean out of love with my lover
- i still love her
- loved her more when she used to be sober and i was kinder
- Well all's not well
- but i'm told that it'll all be quite nice
- you'll be drowned in boots like Mafia
- but your feet will still float like Christ's
- and i'll be damned
- they were right
- i'm drowning upside down
- my feet afloat like Christ's
- i'm in heaven
- trying to figure out which stack
- they're going to stuff us atheists into
- when Peter and his monkey laugh
- and i laugh with them
- i'm not sure what at
- they point and say
- we'll keep you in the back
- polishing halos, baking manna and gas
- well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone i ever seen
- he moves just like crisco disco
- breath 100% listerine
- he says looking at something else
- but directing everything to me
- ever time anyone gets on their knees to pray
- well it makes my telephone ring
- and i'll be damned
- he said you were right
- no one's running this whole thing
- he had a theory too
- he said that god takes care of himself
- and you of you
- it's all nice on ice alright
- and it's not day
- and it's not night
- but it's all nice on ice alright
