Demon Rock

What say you demon, [what] say you demon rock of what
I'm the rock of Gibraltar. [What] say you demon so say
what. If you think of it then you should know if I'm
getting kind of low. If you think of it then you should
know if I'm getting kind of low. You [make] made the sunshine.
[Then] you take my air to breathe. [If I'm gonna] And I let you
back again tell me what does that make me? If you
think of it... If it was me you wanted [then] why don't
you just say so.

Fast Way

Why you gotta sit in my easychair. What makes you
think that I would care? When I say to you - what are
you going to do? So I got you to at least say please, that's
how I know that you're on your knees. But I'm thinking
too. What am I gonna do. To not take the fast way it evens
out every time. God how I love a boy on the go and what
you've got I just have to know. [And] 'cause what else is there to
say [when] it's such a sunny day. So I got you to at least
say please that's how I know that you're on you knees. But
I'm thinking too, baby, are we through? To not take the
fast way it evens out every time.

Jennifer

Started out with defeat. Everyone was asleep. And now
you know that it's time to make up you mind like me.
Now I'm not one to complain but you're driving me
insane. And now you know that it's time to make up
your mind like me. Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer, Open
up your door. If there could be last bliss; well here's the
one you missed and now you know that it's time to
make up your mind like me. Jennifer...

Awake

I guess it's been awhile and a long time too.
Everything's still the same and so are you. It's only in
this light that I could see what you'd be like. If it took a
million years, well, this is what I am. You're awake and
I'm asleep and we are so complete that way. You're
asleep and I'm awake and everything is so great. Everything is
so great. Oh yea. Heavy. I wash my hands of you. I
wash my dirty feet too. And when I wash my hair the
dust clouds disappear. You're leaning out the window,
you're beating down [the] a path real slow with your heavy
plastic bags and heavy head.
You're awake... (I wish we had a laugh but you're just
not funny. Baby, I'm leaving out the irony.
You're awake.)

Laudanum

It's getting harder to believe I've gotta go, but I don't
want to leave. You've got your mortality on your sleeve.
And if I'm something you've outgrown, you think that
maybe I'd have know. God I wish I'd just known. I want
you to be like me. It would be so easy if you'd just
agree. [I] I've chucked it all out in the past 'cause you're the
one I want at last you are the one for me. I want you to
be...

Acid Jed

So the sky is crumbling. I am not afraid 'cause you see
this too. So my hands are shaking. I am not afraid
'cause you've got it bad. I was counting all the monsters
I am ever going to be and I was falling a thousand miles
an hour swirling around, the only sound was Acid Jed.
If this were the last day and this mind were not mine,
then I can't be ruined and that's 'cause you're all mine.
So the sky is. So my hands are.

Pizza Cutter

I was on you side and I can't believe that it's coming
back to haunt me. You were on that side too and I
can't, no I can't go back and save you. Why didn't you
do as you were told? Why didn't you just go home?
And what you got in the bag? Non-recognition is the
way to keep everything you want to hide. You stay on
that side now 'cause I won't, no I won't go back and
bail you out. Closer to the thing we had before. And
what you got in the bag? You were closer than you
thought. Closer than you thought you'd get. Don't you
worry that pretty head now. Never thought that's
what you'd get. Non-recognition is the... Why didn't
you do as you were told? Why didn't you just go
home? Now you're never coming back. You were
closer...

St. Peter

I know what you did. And now he's waiting. He knows
what you did too. You're not what you say you are. If
you were why was you head down in his car? It's just
not the same, try and try I'm still the last to know.
You get the sticker and the prize, you let me in - you
showed me how. That honey face complete with
pillow case. It just don't become you. Did you listen
when he spoke the gospel? You know St. Peter he's a
liar, and you're a liar. It's just not the same...

Little Rosa

Little Rosa was gonna shine. Little Rosa had a real
bad time. She was not like anyone else. She never
will. Little Rosa the boys let her know she's just not
that way she don't put on a show for nobody. Not
even you. She gonna sit alone. Why would you
make her feel so small that she'd just disappear?

Do What You Want, Yeah

Do What You Want, Yeah.

He's Got An Answer

Ten thousand years have passed and [it] don't matter
much to him that ten thousand years have passed
before. There's nothing he can't do. Nothing he won't
say. 'Cause don't you know he knows it anyway. He's got an
answer for everything. So if you want to know about
landlocked countries in Asia under the strong-arm
hold of Buddhists, it's Nepal. He's got an answer.

I Could Sleep (The Wuss Song)

It's okay that you forget. It's alright that you don't
wanna [want to] remember. In your hands you've got a
martyr's head, in your mind, I know that's what you
wish you were. Turn my blue sky black, you're such
a hard luck baby. Yeah. That's what's the matter with you.
But I could sleep through this. I am mystified as I
am in it. If that's your ride, well then you ought to get
it. It's just as if I wasn't dreaming. It's all the same,
'cause I still wake up screaming. Turn my blue sky
black... You're pilgrim in the boxcar. You can never
look back too far. You can't ever look back.
Turn my blue... I could sleep through anything.
