1.Big Rock Ending
2.Azalea
His legs they won't support him now
That he's near half a ton
But he remembers very well
A time when he could run
They ran around her bed
She chased him around her bed
Azalea
He doesn't fit behind the wheel
So he just stays inside
But he remembers very well
A time when he could ride
They rode around the bend
She rode around with him
Azalea
They found him on the kitchen floor
They said it was his heart
But i remember very well
The way he came apart
Her name was on his lips
Her name was on his lips
Azalea
3.It's Not Happening
You've got your own thing
But it's not happening
You've got your own place
But that's not where it's at
It's not happening
That's not where it's at
You're like a race car
With all the tires flat
You look like a million bucks
But where can you go like that
Like a million bucks
All the tires flat
(we all want to get to heaven
But we don't want to die)
4.No Dope No Cigarettes
On the news today
They ran her picture twice
They found her in a shallow stream
Half frozen in the ice
You listen to the rain
From your room all day
It continues raining
It will wash it all away
No dope, no cigarettes
To keep the devil down
You know you won't forget
The things that haunt you now
No drug that you can get
Will wipe it all away
No dope no cigarettes today
In your bed at night
Trapped between the sheets
You hear the monster coming
As you try to go to sleep
And when you close your eyes
And you're playing dead
You see the ones who say
They love you circle overhead
5.Ballpeen
Papers scattered on the lawn
Weeds where there were none before
The evening light is nearly gone
Yellow tape across the door
Broken china underfoot
Makes an uninviting sound
You see them everywhere you look
Coffee table upside down
It was the last time that
He damned her
That she went looking
For the hammer
And with a fury seldom seen
She hit him with the ballpeen
Blood in patterns on the wall
Down the curtains to the floor
You follow handprints down the hall
Water drips behind the door
6.Not Since Superman Died
He was born to a whore
On a flophouse floor
They held him up and he cried
Said have you ever heard
A sound so sore
Said not since superman died
She cursed and hit
And denied him tit
'til he grew and ate her alive
Said have you ever seen such a mess
Said not since superman died
She was walking down
Near the edge of town
So they stopped and gave her a ride
Said have you ever been to baltimore
Said not since superman died
She wagged her tongue
As he gripped his gun
And she touched his hand and he cried
Said have you ever had a girl before
Said not since superman died
He was caught in the midst
Of a nicotine fit
It burned him up from inside
Said otis do you have a cigarette
Said not since superman died
They wrapped her in a plastic bag
And threw her over the side
Said otis do you ever feel remorse
Said not since superman died
7.I Love Bob
They were eighteen and twenty-four
He told her he had been to war
She loved him from the minute that he spoke
She took him in he had her pegged
She took a razor to her leg
You could hardly read it through the blood
It said i love bob
On the third day it began to rain
She said bob i just can't stand the pain
He said catch a ride hey babe i gotta go
So she drove down to emergency
And the nurse in the infirmary
Cleaned it with an antiseptic swab
It said i love bob
It's been fifteen years she's thirty-three
Five years ago she married me
Misfortunes of the past have been discussed
But sometimes no when she's alone
In bed or taking off her clothes
She traces with her fingers around the scars
It says i love bob
8.Stupid
The day begins like another day
I hear a sermon it must be sunday
Words are echoing all around
Coming through the fog
On my elbows i look around
Nothing here but the sound
Of breathing
All the pillows are in a pile
And the blanket is off
I thought the windows
Were made of glass
I thought the patterns
Were on the ceiling
I thought the pictures
Were parallel
I thought that i knew it all
I didn't know i was stupid
I didn't think i was stupid
I couldn't tell i was stupid
I didn't know it at all
I get a call from a good friend
And oh i'm alive again
She says she's in for the weekend
And just happened to call
I try keeping her on the line
Saying whatever comes to mind
She says it sounds like you're doing fine
And leaves me climbing the wall
9.Dirty Backseat Car Thing
It's nothing but a dirty backseat car thing
Just listen to that jesus jumper sing
He's got the angels in his throat
But the devil's down there in his scrote
The way he drags it in the dirt
Is enough to make your stomach hurt
But to call that mock messiah king
It's nothing but a dirty backseat car thing
I am the truest man of god
I am the one and only son
Sheddeth thy robe proveth thy love
It's nothing but a dirty backseat car thing
She kissed that pulpit pounder's ring
I tried to talk her down to earth
But she kept on babbling about rebirth
She gave up all her worldly goods
She claims he's just misunderstood
But the shit that bible banger slings
It's nothing but a dirty backseat car thing
I am the truest man of god
I am the one and only son
Sheddeth thy robe proveth thy love
10.High Heaven
If you're gonna kill yourself
You'd better do it now
Don't wanna hear that why me shit again
If you're gonna piss and moan
I'm throwing in the towel
'cause this martyr rap is wearing pretty thin
And it stinks to high heaven
If you're gonna fuck that girl
Please keep it to yourself
I'm not concerned with what you do in bed
Don't care how it sounded
Smelled or tasted looked or felt
That kind of thing is better left unsaid
Because it stinks to high heaven
11.Julia Pastrana
Poor woman the people exclaimed
When julia pastrana was first shown
They marveled and pitied her fate
Covered with dark hair from top to toe
But she was of exceptional mind
And a suitor soon asked for her hand
She accepted the proposal in kind
Despite the misgivings of good friends
She said he loves me for my own sake
They were married and traveled the states
And soon they were blessed with a child
But he suffered his poor mother's fate
And lived but only a short while
And poor julia was injured inside
And soon followed her son to the grave
Her husband had them mummified
And toured until he went insane
She said he loves me for my own sake
12.Disappointed
Found another chicken dead
Out behind the barn
Eaten up and full of flies
Summer has begun
The heat is making waves again
Across the fields in back
And me i'm waging war again
Waiting for attack
Breakfast ended early when
A quart of milk was dropped
The puddle made had nearly dried
Before the screaming stopped
I finally fixed the screen today
To keep out the flies
I just can't stand them landing
On my face at night
And when i am done
And they come to take me home
I will not go
Without a battle no
'cause at the end of the line
I'm afraid that i will find
That i've spent all my time
Disappointed
13.Her Father Was A Sailor
Her father was a sailor
Looked so handsome in the picture
Her mother loved her soldier
She was crying as she held her
Anchored in the harbor
It was burning on the water
A daughter was delivered
On the seventh of december
She said hey what is it like
On the other side
14.The Big E
See the father's barn burning
Watch as the flames
Illuminate the sky
See the boy who set the fire
Watch the barn burning
In his eyes in his eyes
Hear the cattle calling out
Into the night
They crowd against the fence
Until it breaks
And as it breaks
The arson shakes
Know that it's life
And nothing more
See the boy obey the father
Stuffing the crying
Kittens in a sack
Hear the father curse the boy
And whip him with a switch
Across the back across the back
See them standing on
The bridge at twilight
They tie it to a rock
And let it go
And through the tears
It disappears
And now he knows
It's life and nothing more
And through the tears
It disappears
The path is cut the way is clear
It's up the stairs
And through the door
He finds the matches in a drawer
Into the barn he lights the hay
It catches quick
Can't find his way
Through the burning ash
And blinding smoke
He stumbles and begins to choke
A just reward a settled score
And now he knows
It's life and nothing more
15.Good With Guns
I can see her arms extended
Standing in the kitchen door
Tried to get her with my pistol
Water streaming to the floor
I remember she was breathing
I can still recall her scent
In the morning on my fingers
Unmanicured and slightly bent
Take a liar as a lover
Taste the liquor on her lips
Drink it down just like a man
Then cough it up and choke on it
Light is streaming
Through the window
Pull the curtain block the sun
Tried to get her with my pistol
But i've never been
Good with guns
16.California Bingo
California bingo
Man i must be dreaming
Fascination on the midway
Listen to him screaming
Sounding like a preacher
Calling in the sinners
Says california bingo
Everyone's a winner
Oh i'm fucked i'm fucked
I'm fucked... again
When i'm on the midway
I'm looking for the freak tent
So i can seek salvation
In among the misfits
And when it comes showtime
I won't need a decoy
I'll be inside a glass jar
Right beside the bird boy
