Am I falling out of favor?
Am I maybe not your flavor? Pour my heart onto the table Trade it in for cash
Because I want the money
Oh yeah I want it bad
When you got feelings and guitar You wanna trade it for cash
Donna said Donna said Donna said Donna said
It’s in my head
(x2)
Belly up to the bar now
Help me get this thought down Come on let’s draw the map When you got feelings and guitar You wanna trade em for cash
Because I need the dollars
I spent the two I had
They passed like running water Thru my hand

I was busy
Gilding Lillies
And getting high to the music
Losers do it
There’s nothing to it
They’re getting high to the music
Move it or lose it
Had it and blew it
On getting high to the music
They’re talking cryptic
You’re seeing thru it
You gotta go where the truth is
You gotta go where the truth is I’m getting high to the music

Spike
01:22
|

Feet on the desk Boss in the chair
Carried the coffee
Up three flights of stairs
He drove up
In an electric car
I’m pinching pennies To fix the guitar
Step up on some grapes They want wine
They want twice the results In half of the time
It’s a sick world No cure in sight
Spot of bother
With my shock collar
The voltage has suddenly Spiked
Have fun And pay me
You’ve had your fun Now pay me
Minor infraction Major disdain
I’m a living container For man-made pain
I watched you fire the bullet And swallow the casing
You threw away nuance And ate sensation
When the micro-dropper Hits the blotter
I’ll put my brain
On the spike
Give a man a fish He eats for a day
Give a man two fish He throws one away

Broadway
02:26
|

The band on stage With the amps too loud They play better
With nobody around
And if you need me
You know where I’m found And if you need me
It’s Broadway
It’s dinner theater at best
I dropped my drink ticket Make that a single I guess
It’s Broadway
It’s musical theater
It’s birds gathered At an empty feeder
I’ve been destroyed by life And I feel fuckin good
I sold the wheels to the wagon
And now sparks shoot when it drags I trade my time for money
Any chance that I have
Because no one needs me I’m a passing fad
No one needs me
It’s Broadway
It’s dinner theater at best
I dropped my drink ticket Make that a single I guess
It’s Broadway
It’s musical theater
It’s birds gathered At an empty feeder

Tranquilizer

Bucked off the horse you rode in on Cause you didn’t know it’s name Gene’s tombstone says “no other” But heaven knows we’re all the same
Tranquilizer stuck inside my neck
I think ill just rest my eyes for a sec
I feel the world under my feet It’s up to my ankles now Now it’s around my knees
I stuck my finger in concrete And wrote my name
Maybe I’ll deprive my senses Let them suffocate and die Do the limbo under a rainbow Looking up at the stars How’d they get so high?
Tranquilizer stuck inside my neck Maybe I’ll just rest my eyes for a sec

Lucky Day
03:55

You think you’ve got it made Today’s your lucky day Never read the signs
You tarry every time
You gotta go (x4)
Never learned the trade There’s money to be made You see through tranquil eyes You tarry every time
You gotta go (x4)
I work You eat
I got it
I got a new leash
You pull yourself by the straps But who pays for the boots
You think you’ve got it made Today’s your lucky day Never read the signs
You tarry every time
You gotta go (x4)

Bunny's Taxi
04:02

The sun shines on San Francisco Like a light at the dentist’s office Glaring into an open mouth
And then the drill powers on
You’re staring down the barrel Of Harry’s gun
And he asks you
Do you feel lucky, punk?
Come on and do what you want If it makes you feel good
How could it be wrong
Come on and do what you want to
I threw my cares off a cliff
I didn’t care who I hit
A tourist shouted in French But it’s all Greek to me
Invoice received, checks are cut Case closed, open and shut And if you need me
I’m watching tv in the oven
With a gun to the back of my head Fuck
You’re staring down the barrel Of a bastard’s gun
And he asks you
Do you feel lucky, punk?
Come on and do what you want If it makes you feel good
How could it be wrong
Come on and do what you want to
I threw my cares off a cliff
I didn’t care who it hit
A taurus shouted in French But it’s all greek to me

Hammer Factory

Empty can blows across the street
Sun is beating down hard
Walking down commerical, Gal says
“I heard so and so’s in town this weekend” You say, “Sounds fun”
Etcetera
Your lips are dry and sticking to your teeth You say, “I wish I had a Coca-Cola”
And you cover your mouth
Like it’d make the words not come out And the genie cackles behind you
As you open your mouth to argue
He says, “Of course that counts-
It also counted when you said
‘I wish my parents would leave me alone’ You should’ve wished for more wishes”
Empty van baking in the sun
And collecting heat
Waiting to blast it all into your face
The next time you slump into that chair Whizzing down a big long road
A song you know plays on the station you like It reminds you of summers you spent Working at your uncle’s factory
Where they build the hammers
It taught you a lesson about humility And it’s hard to feel it all sometimes
(x4)
The hammer comes down

Mum’s the word Dad’s the boss Birdie croaked Sister sobbed
Uncle Marty
Working down at the jail Doggie running
Chasing after his own tail
I’m taking inventory
Come crunch the numbers for me What’s new with you?
Maggie’s moving To NYC
Back to Fresno Safe plan B
Joey’s reading Communist lit
He just started
But he thinks he gets it
I’m taking inventory
Come crunch the numbers for me What’s new with you?
Marco’s walking
Down Les Champs Elysses Flash of the camera
On his photogenic face
Shake and sigh Today’s headline “Hero Cop Shoots 25”
But Robbie’s been climbing, For exercise
And he looks good

I burnt the candle at both ends I went up
And came down different That’s what I did
(x4)

You’re always so cooperative!

I hope the apple falls far
What about true love?
I’ve heard people saying it’s blind Say it’s looking for me
But I’m too hard to find
Malkmus, Springsteen McCartney, Mackaye Getting all my wisdom From a dumb old guy
I hope the apple falls far
Did you hear the old man say? Sometimes the demon life Just gets in the way
Blowing in the wind of pain Jerry was right, just listen To the music play
I hope the apple falls far
Dylan, Timony
Jagger, and Mould Rent’s due on the 1st Put the dream on hold
Rollins, Joplin
Ash Bowie, and Lew Picking out lyrics For the next tattoo
I hope the apple falls far
Did you hear the old man say? Sometimes the demon life Just gets in the way
Blowing in the wind of pain Jerry was right man, listen To the music play
I hope the apple falls far
