Scissor Runner
| Quote: |
She runs with scissors
She delivers
All my mail
Right under my door
You're sincerely
Lost completely
She ain't a princess
But she's an artist
Painting a portrait
All over my heart
Colors bleeding
So deceiving
No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring
A scissor runner stole my heart
I was on standby
Catching the red eye
I missed my flight
She didn't mind
I'll forgive you
If I outlive you
No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring
A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart
Uptown, downtown, all around the swingset
You say what you want I don't ever lose bets
Find me layin' low in the San Fernando
You ask me well I say I don't know |
My Pet Snakes
| Quote: |
Jenny:
And I don't believe in double vision
And I don't think that two heads are better than one
All I can see is ouroboros
When my pet snakes are sizing me up
And if you don't believe in destiny,
Then take what you're given
Oh, you and I got caught between magic and business
Johnny:
We walked in on you while you were polishing your knives
(Jenny: While your eyes were turning green)
Sleeping in a twin bed with a serpent by your side
(Are you trying to compete with me?)
Talk a lot of shit but you would never start a fight
(Fantasize about killing me)
God it makes me queasy when you smile
(Through your jealousy)
Jenny:
And I don't believe in sucking your way to the top
Fingers crossed, you're flipping me off
No, I don't need your supervision
I'll sink this ship if I want
And if you don't believe in chemistry,
Then what were we doing?
Oh, you and I had everything
From rebirth to ruin
Johnny:
Well, every time you come around I have to run and hide
(Jenny: And your eyes, are they bleeding?)
I get claustrophobic even when I am outside
(Are you trying to put a hex on me?)
I thought we were brothers, man I thought that we were tight
(But your bite is so evil)
Sucking out the venom of your bite
(As you poison me)
Johnny:
Hey, dad. Hello?
Jenny:
And I don't believe that paradise is lost
I say this with my fingers crossed
And if you don't believe in prophecy
Decide when it's finished
Oh, you and I tried everything
From heroin to Guinness
Johnny:
2009 it was a bastard of a year
(Jenny: lalala, pass the joint to me)
I cannot get stoned no more I only get the fear
(These good times, they are killin' me)
We can have it out or we can have another beer
(I could lie so we're even)
All the best of luck with your career |
Switchblade
| Quote: |
It's been one long year of Saturday nights
In the city of a billion suns
Sleeping through the afternoon
With your latest only one
You had her every way from Sunday
And on Monday morning too
You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
See you on the way up
Or the way down
See you on the way down
Or the way up
See you on the way up
Or the way down
It was poverty that kept you sweet
And dreams that kept you young
The money started rolling in
You stopped having any fun
You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
see you on the way up
or the way down
see you on the way down
or the way up
see you on the way up
or the way down
You used to dine out on a dollar
With your switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
See you on the way up
Or the way up
See you on the way down
Or the way up
See you on the way up
Or the way down |
Big Wave
| Quote: |
Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
We're spending what we haven't made
And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But still the banks gotta break
'Cause the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books all fried
You are bankrupting
Because all the loans you take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave
I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
So there are these little pills I been takin'
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And wakin' up in the water
And the feeling's a lie
But the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
I know you feel deprived
(You don't trust me)
All of us still alive
(You never touch me)
It's really just that I don't feel
Like it much these days
And my love's a lie
'Cause the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I have been corrupted
'Cause all the lovers I take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
You're gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
Big wave, da da da
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave |
While Men Are Dreaming
| Quote: |
I left while you were sleeping
While Abraham shaped your side
Never loved you less, never loved you more
As when Sirius hung in the sky
A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I a lamb dreaming I was a lamb?
Or am I asleep in the clover tonight?
While men are dreaming
they know it not a dream
Upon wakin', we're fools again
What if we're sleeping?
A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I meant to never see you again
Or am I dreaming asleep by your side? |
Animal
| Quote: |
We must modernize Jerusalem
Detonate the temples, let them fall over the dust
We will organize in Bethlehem
Able-bodied women and agnostic headstrong men
Oh, we'll meet at 10
If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart
Oh
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
We must rearrange reality, shuffle all the cards
Pair the joker with the queen, just to make her scream
To destroy all our enemies, must investigate our friends
Find the ones who don't believe
Hang them from the trees
If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal |
Just Like Zeus
| Quote: |
Up on Mount Olympus, livin' on a pile of trash
With all the lunatics; how they worship me
What are you going to do with the back of that ticket?
That's my number but, I'll call you
There's nothing less I'd rather do
You've been sniffing up that mercury
From a broken thermometer
Like a cloud gatherer, just like Zeus
Out at the car show
Cheetah's or Jumbos
Like seeing a cold sore in a kissing booth
There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do
And I, I live with the shame
But you live with the same, same
Livin' on milk duds and therapeutic mud
Ninety days at promises with no booze
Outside of Silver Lake, I am the biggest fake
Like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do
And I, I live with the flames
But you, you're taking the blame, blame
There's nothing less I'd rather do |
New Yorker Cartoon
| Quote: |
I was running
From imaginary vampire bats
I was shrieking at the moon
While Montezuma laughed
Oh, Aztlan blues
And reds and greens and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm 100 years old
Looking like a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
I was making love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my opium dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye
If I could give myself some advice
I'd go out of my mind right now
I'd stay here with my baby
Forever in the here and now
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
I was returning my salute
To the lieutenant paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag
My sister's former flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An ancient child prodigy
A genius who inspires
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
With you
With you |
Straight Edge of the Blade
| Quote: |
That was a wise crack
but you're not a bad dude
Although you'd make bedroom eyes
at a test tube
Late bloomers arrive
when they want to
then they go on
She's an accomplice
to your strangeness
So your father was emotionally restrained
But at that time
who's really wasnt?
with the kids
Straight edge of the blade
How long will you wait?
Come out and play
Straight edge of the blade
There is a six pack of red bulls on the horizon
It's like a portrait of
your aggression
But you'll always have
sex with a stranger
to set you queer
It's a real shame that you don't drive
Since you don't drink, you should be driving me around
As you know
I'm an angel
behind the wheel
Straight edge of the blade
How long will I wait?
Come out and play
Straight edge of the blade
I have never seen
a love that was greater
Between two men
who couldn't be straighter
You don't know
he betrayed you
But I know he did
All your experience with the opposite sex
only led to physical regrets 'cause
you fall in love
with your friends
but you keep it hid
Straight edge of the blade
How long will you wait?
Come out and play
Straight edge of the blade
Come out and play
Come out |
Slavedriver
| Quote: |
Slavedriver take me home, I need a master
I'll beg for mercy and you'll whip me faster
Some boys want freedom and they have to wonder
I only need four walls, my heart grows fonder
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
There are so many ways to please your lover
I speak when spoken to, I sweep the ashes
I get my sweet reward of forty lashes
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
You know, you know
You can tie my hands behind my back
I will not ask you to retract
I will not tell you not to stop, oh
Feeling in my mind I can't describe
Can't define I only know
That I want more, more
I'll take the whip, you take the reins |
Committed
| Quote: |
Committed, committed
I need to be committed
I need to be locked away
I need a straighter jacket on my crooked frame
I need to be admitted today
Excited, excited
I need to get excited
and reconnect with nature, babe
I need to focus on the sunshine, focus on my goal
Truth in every grain of sand
I put my back into, put my back into my work
I will receive what I, will see what I deserve
Listen
You have to be patient
This new administration is doing the very best it can
But there's armies in the banks whom tired of the skanks
Attorneys for the Ku Klux Klan
For god and for country, for Michael Jackson's monkey
Just take another on the chin
I was a singer in a band, yeah, had sex in my van
and filling it with mexicans
Who put their back into, put their back into their work
They will see what they, they will receive all they deserve
It's a beautiful life
we lay sleeping
With my beautiful wife and me
We'll hold each other closer till the end of days
I made my decision
I will go back to prison
I will survive the end of my bed
The writing is in the hall, the markings on the wall
that say "dead man walking"
I put my back into, put my back into my work
I will receive what I, will see what I deserve
Make the commitment |

I didn't even read those before I copy/pasted.
But I hear "This sermon is finished"

Just One of the Guys
| Quote: |
All our friends, they’re gettin’ on
But the girls are still staying young.
If I get caught being rude in a conversation
With a child bride on a summer vacation.
No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There’s a little cop inside that won’t let me.
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There’s a little something inside that prevents me.
It’s how I live. You got me here,
Locked in this bathroom full of tears.
And I have begged for you and I have borrowed
But I been the only sister to my own sorrow.
No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There’s a little clock inside that keeps ticking.
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There’s a little something inside that won’t let me.
There’s only one difference between you and me
When I look at myself, all I can see:
I’m just another lady without a baby.
No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There’s a little narc inside that won’t let me.
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There’s a little something inside that prevents me. |
