Madness Of Things
01:46
|
|||
when he woke up this morning he picked up the news
and flipped thru the pages to find something good
but he laughed when he saw there was nothing at all
crawled back inside to make sense of the madness of things that were on his mind
said, "today's gonna be the day that I leave this town
fly away and never come down"
so he packed up his bags and he flew far from home
looking for lifeforms on any new planet
but alas all he found were just planets of gas
planets of rocks and all those other things
that could never make a home
so he backed up his craft and proceeded to laugh
said, "I guess this is why things always seems bad"

itsy bitsy spider crawling up the water spout
then came the rain pouring (falling) down on the ground
tiny little legs move so fast they don't make a sound
hiding from the storm, spider's gonna work it on out
you crawl like a spider, better make yr spider web
eating all the bugs that dare to cross yr wicked path
sucking on the blood
sucking on the blood
sucking on the blood of the dead
hundred million eyes sitting on top of yr head
they look
looking so mean, looking so mean right at me
they're looking like it's time
looking like it's time to feed
crawl up my skin
show me yr teeth
sink in yr fangs
suck the life out of me
life out of me
little bitty spider fighting for survival now
crawling thru the streets trying to make sense of it all
trying to get to me
trying to get to me
me thru the crowd
you dirty little spider better wash yr dirty mouth out
looking so mean, looking so mean right at me
they're looking like it's time
looking like it's time to feed
crawl up my skin
show me yr teeth
sink in yr fangs
suck the life out of me
life out of me
hey!
life out of me

Oh My Poor Boy
02:47
|
|||
will you hound like the dogs who go hide in the back
so will you keep calling police to beat my bones
will you be naming the names that keep ringing
and will you still hear me if I'm just a ghost
somehow I've managed to get out of the coffin
and into the old picture shows
will you keep barking like the beast of all burdens
taking yr time to release me from evil
somehow I've waited much longer than usual
just to get something I need
like a child who can't feel
like a boy who can't kneel
like a saint with no halo to bring heaven down
how long can he stand
can he see, can he be
like a sheep without skin
or the tears of a clown
like they say
oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long
oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long
oh my poor boy, you've been waiting so long
waiting so long to get high

The World Goes On
02:37
|
|||
I'm not singing a song that's gonna change the world
I guess I'm not the type
cause all the while we're waging war
I'd rather live my life
and the world goes on
and the world goes on
I'm not singing a song to all my peers
there's nothing that I can do
when everyone has their own fears
and their own points of view
and the world goes on
and the world goes on
and the world goes on
and the world goes on
and the world goes on
and the world goes on

Drown This City
02:37
|
|||
so the people were ready for the kid from Atlantis
who tattooed his foreskin with a page from the bible
relinquishing evil like he was blowing up temples
oh, he will drown this city down
so they were all ready for that man from Atlantis
who had glowing eyeballs and bleed like a dragon
he put his mode down to his lesson
I hope he had one of their intentions
but they drown this city down
and he drown this city down
so ate into a bottle
he ate it down till he drank all the glass and
there was nothing left and he held out his hands
and he said, "I hope yr king gungugnunh understand 'cause"
he will drown this city down
he will drown this city down

Chemicals & Medicine
03:17
|
|||
so all the chemicals that the people take
so everyone can find a way for them to break
all the simple rules of the human race
and all the statuettes of the architects
showing all the people how not to forget
there's plenty of other ways to leave yr face
oh, everyone has gotta grow old
and everyone has gotta learn to die
but all those medicines might not do you in
yr still bound to lose yr life in the end
and everyone has gotta face their fate
oh, everyone has gotta grow old
and everyone has gotta learn to die

The Man From Mazatlan
04:10
|
|||
So back from Mexico
the only story told
beyond the bullet holes
and Cortez's gold
was that of the old man from Mazatlan
who lost his hand
in a night fight just before the night he died
so at age 24 he made love to a Spanish whore
she fell hard and wanted more of what he wore
the name his family held for centuries
he could not seize away from her prying eyes
as 50 years go by
he held his alibi
he never raised his knife to protect his life
never had a reason to feel no shame
but she changed the game
when she got all of her men to challenge him
so for his final stand
he took out 30 men
until the final one cut off his hand and won
he said, "old man yr thru
and I'm not a boy you knew
you have forsaken me
see, I'm yr family tree"
"I am yr only son"
"I am yr only son"
"I am yr only son"
"I am yr only son"
and so the day he died
the man he set aside
into the family trust
his son with all his lust
and one last word of advice
don't ever waste yr pride
trying to find the right bed to lie

William & His Son
05:29
|
|||
half a mile out of San Antone
lived William and his son
half a year they lived alone
and stockpiled all their guns
made a bunker for the time they would hide it out from the government
seemed that William failed to pay and be a proper citizen
little Billy had some doubts
about the way his mother died
considering the whole thing out
never seemed like suicide
but he never questioned anything
believing he could find the truth
William made sure he kept his ways
from ever raising suspicious looks
half a mile out of San Antone
hid William and his son
the federales came along
to end all they had done
they raised hell and caused a panic
all across the greater states
but in the end their fire died
and soon no one would remember their names

Nation Of Destruction
02:27
|
|||
down deep below the gravel
underneath the surface
hiding from the humans
who plot to seek us out
out among the living
walking thru the market
feeding on the rich of
bloody lying leaders
who try to plan our future
try to plant the seedlings
that grow into a nation
form into a nation
nation of destruction
destruction of solutions
to all the silly problems
that plague all of the masses
populate the planet
populate the heavens
high above the surface
where people tend to fuck up
every constitution
every institution
every little system
that kept them all in check
oh, can't ever go back
can't ever go back
