uh
i do it
i do it to you
(Let's do it)
all you christians
all you krishnas
we do weddings & bar mitzvahs!
we'll float with your parade
(so long as we're getting paid)
no principles just vice principles!
we wouldn't lie
"you've got it made"
we'll tell you what you want as long as we get paid
satisfy the bride
fellate the groom
to inflate your party balloons /
we're gonna need a little bit more room
sure i'm qualified
i'll do anything you say
as long as i'm getting paid
no principles, just vice principles
we wouldn't lie
you've got it made
we'll tell you what you want as long as we get paid
WE'LL PROSELYTIZE AROUND YOUR THIGHS
THIS CONCERT IS SPONSERED BY THOSE FRENCH FRIES!! |

...lena horne is not a unicorn
(but she's got a great voice)...
we're paper scissors rock (we're crackle pop!)
we want one-ups (not bran flakes!)
we don't got stirrups (we got the shakes!)
i was born a unicorn
and we'll die with wings
we're the unicorns and we read eunuch porn
we're the unicorns and we're people too
don't you stop believing in me!
(quartz crystals put 'em under your pillow) |

alden: is there a poster of me
on your wall
with short-short shorts or zipped down jeans?
do you look up at night
and wish you were me,
under the stage under hot lights?
are you visceral viscous?
do you wanna make love to my sweet visage?
and then pretend...it's you it's you it's you
nick: i wrote you a letter
to become a member
of your fan club
but all i got in the mail was
return to sender
alden: i was a child star, it wasn't easy
nick: well i'm a child now, and you broke my heart |
| » Thunder And Lightning « |
alden: i don't care, i don't care
leave their corpses in my underwear
nick: smoke plumes become clouds
you just blend in
tu vas est tu vien
alden & nick:
i don't care i don't care
leave their corpses in my underwear |
| » Inoculate The Innocuous « |
small doses daily
absorbed and collected
in the glands and fatty tissues
over time...
somewhere in the asshole of my eye
there's a muscle which relaxes when you cry
and somewhere in the eye of my brain..
storage cells for shit and substance
but new flavours and aromas
banana helps me unwind
watermelon makes it awesome |
| » William Clap Your Hands « |
clap your hands if you want some
clap your hands if you can't wait
take your things i stole
they worked sufficiently but not great
i'd stay for scoldings but i am late
look if they're not there, then they've been sold
(is that not OK?)
William, it's your own fault
oh, let it rest on the sabbath day
learn to stand and sway (clap your hands it'll be ok)
dancez vous the night today
it's all gone anyway |
| » Evacuatin Somethin Warm « |
nick: something warm would be something nice
to keep me from moaning in the morning
and mourning through the night
alden: take your things from my house
evacuate my life
it's over
rescind
nick: everything's okay in its own little way
alden: clap your hands/clap your hands
clap your hands if you want some
clap your hands/clap your hands
clap your hands if you can't wait |

headed to bed on sunday
well that's OK
my birthday's a week away
gonna (1) have a cake, (2) swim at the beach
(3) wake up early, & (4) go to bed late
(25) golden loyal dog by the (36) ground well
(38) fresh cut grass (42) ocean in the seashell
(44) burying robins in the backyard
(49) use potassium iodide to make slugs shrink and die
(51) blaming my sister, until i'm free, it's my 52 favourite thing,
next to (52) being me.

| » Ghost Mountain « |
when we climbed to the peak/we planted a flag
but the second we had/I felt bad
and then night came/so we got in our sleeping bags
when someone told a story/about something dead and gory
there was heat/from the fire
but i still froze/when i saw the ghost X2
i told the gang/we weren't welcome
the ghost made that clear
so we stepped back/but it was drawing near
and it lunged for our throats/so we packed our things, made tracks
undid our footprints/even furled our flag
and we were gone
but what was on/the mountain top? X2
Sweet nothing! I made it up!
So we'd make it down/with no territorial claim X2 |
