A Friend To Babies

The devil can fuck right off
and suck me dry
cause i'm goin to heaven
when i die
I will shove god in a dog crate
and show him all my things
mumble your lord's prayer
if you're too shy to sing
I'm afraid of babies, and bugs,
and the view from the pyre
too proud or lazy
to jump out of the fire
God truly hates me in my guts
and that's just to put it mild
i will save face in exile
But I wasn't always this way
self-made outta trash and all the things i hate
my crooked teeth point back to the mistakes
that i made everyday
but i wasn't always this way
but i wasn't always this way

the red lights here last a lifetime
all my friends' dogs have gone blind
neighbors threaten to kill each other on the internet
the years fade away with their hairlines
but the tap water makes for good bread
it keeps our big boys fed (a little too well fed if you ask me)
and it holds everything
and it holds everything
but me
the red lights here last a lifetime
the traffic is backed up for miles
rest your head get fed rise early
and if you gotta
run every last one of those damn red lights

feeling so bloated
I could float away
fuse to the couch
so I jog in place
clouds of smoke
sewn to my face
takin a lap
before I go insane
the rivers rage
cause they're stuck in place
they're screamin
maybe maybe we'll get it right next time
every mountain's fate
is to erode away
they're screamin
maybe maybe we'll get it right in the next life
but trees try to touch
outer space
even though they know
they're stuck in place
i'm reachin out
to outer space

Sliding Screen Doors
03:57

fell out of the sky into my lap
scored the atmosphere with streaks of black
scratch my head and make myself a silver foil hat
i have seen the end and can confirm that we're all comin back
we're all comin back
yea we're all comin back
the yellow around a bruise is the sun
and its got the darker hues on the run
you would be right to assume that you'll be stuck here
doin time as buzzard food until you reappear
or 'til i find you
in the dog bowl
of my soul
lick it empty
drink it full
sleeping dog
twitching eyes
dreamin of me
dreamin of my hand
pulling open sliding screen doors
i have known you
many times before
i have known you
many lives before
i have know you
in many different forms
but the one you are now
is the one i've been waiting for
in the dog bowl
of my soul....

The Sweatiest Summer

I get sweaty in the summer
i get soaking sweat
i sweat through five shirts a day
but i ain't feelin cooled off quite yet
yea it's a damn shame
yea it's a damn shame
you leave the city in the summer
for a much colder place
you took my a/c unit with you
now i'm drenched from my toes to my face
we could sweat together
reek of each other's piss
we could brave the weather
c'mon we could take the heat
don't call it quits
yea it's a damn shame
we fell apart at the start of the summer

Boring Stories
04:50

if you haven't heard from me in a long time
don't hold your breath
nothing new about the view on the sideline
all i got
stories that'll bore you to death
i'm ramblin on again
my mouth keeps opening
i leave a lotta room for a little doubt
watch the spit flyin as i shout
talk up a storm and i bring the drought
careful with the words i'm leavin out
every word you say
(all i got)
is the one that you said last
(boring stories)
if you haven't heard from me in a long time
don't hold your breath
if you haven't heard from me in a long time
all i got
stories that'll bore you to death

access to food
and friends
three legs will do
on dry land
sanctuary blue
dead end
years left to chew
with the hired hands
i'm gonna live a long time
everybody here's got one eye
and they keep it trained on the moon
prolonged exposure to barbed wire
has got them howling that sundown tune
i'm gonna live a long time

Hostile Takeover
03:07
|
|||
|
if you're still working at 80 years old
i will kill your boss for you
if you're still paying off debt in old age
i will bomb as many banks as it takes
i hope disease takes me before my job does
and i pray the same for you
it's a hostile takeover
of the soul
they want you to work
'til your heart goes cold
until you heart beats slow down
"so how would your coworkers describe your working style?"
"mmmmm.....i think they'd say i'm a lawn sprinkler aimed at the sidewalk baby"
"....okay!"
they want you to work
'til your heart goes cold
'til your heart beats slow down
'til your bones don't hold
'til your ass dies old

i'm picking up smoking
i'm gonna try drugs
i'm giving up coping
with more than enough
i'm carbo loading
i'm gonna get buff
i'm tired of choking
on more than enough
i'm gonna start coasting
and living off the cuff
i'm giving up hoping
for more than enough

six staples
six staples in my head
six staples
my neighbors coulda found me dead
