Greased Up Alone

i think im green like the sun and the tree
but im sad like the sea
the grumpy man sleeps dreamless
greased up alone, he cries to me
'oh baby, please dont leave
oh baby, stay with me
oh daddy, i wont scream
oh daddy, if you rescue me'
i think im green like the sun and the tree
but im blue, like the sea
the grumpy sleeps dreamless
greased up alone in his own mess, he says...

Sun Lust/Brain Dust

disgusting, selfish
meant to be happy today
its cold, can't help it
so when it's warm...
I'll let the sun bake my brain to dust
we can let the rain fall over us
we can watch the grass grow in front our eyes
you can lay me down to die
peaceful desires meet egocentric fires
you do yours, i'll do mine
you can sit safely in your mind...

it seems everyone wants everything
trapped in a box where the air we breathe stings
i've let the flowers grow around my veins
as i sink they pull me out of my dreams
i'm catching on to your evil ways
i'm learning what your eyes really say
i've let the wires grow around my thumb
they whisper tired trite to keep me dumb
medicine pills do not keep you full
always wanting or needing more
i've felt my nerves burn in to my bones
in heaps or ashes blah blah
easy my heavens, what holds you under?
leaking through telephones and wearing a scowl
you couldn't tell me what you loved the most
so in the morning i'll make eggs and buttered toast

an immeasurable heaven, or an infinite hell
love or terror, something, nothing
a fine tooth comb running through your mind
500,000,000 light years and not a single answer
i'll be waiting hungry like dead wolves
or red like a flower
or blue like rainshowers
not a cloud in the sky, just a giant burning eye
i look down from my mountain
i see them running around, so i call down
"la la la la"

Tangerine Moon
03:06
|

|
like collecting lamps and not turning them on
or more like sinew
or the vines climbing my window on their way to see the sun
in a blinking red forest
we're growing legs like a gazelle
tantalizing like a poison that lets you forget yourself
a sleeping creature near the mountain where we all began our lives
softly dying afternoon under a light tangerine moon

Coat

i wish i didn't have to kill you in my dreams
i wish my record player worked, i wish i didn't have to go to work at all
but i can wear my coat all day if I want to
