1.Hey Swifty
Gonna hold my hand
Right over that candle flame
Until i can't take it any longer
I swear i could hold it there
All god damned day
If i wanted to
I said hey go on
Go ahead and make my day
Then i blew away the mother in the mirror
And as i lay dying
On the bedroom rug
Bleeding with all my heart
Someone says hey swifty
Yer gonna have to come around sometime
Took a car ride out to the flats
Where i hit a big dog
Hit a dog out on the highway
So to find out what it was like
When you hit a big dog
I ran over it a couple more times
Let it set for a week or so
Until it got really ripe
And flat and hard
In the middle of the highway
Then i found it and bound it up
With some baler twine
And painted it up like an american flag
Then someone says hey swifty
Yer gonna have to come around sometime
Last week i got so bored
That i took a big ride
And went out to the mississippi
I took this guy i know
Named lou along and he went
Because he wanted to
He said i can't believe
We've driven all this way
Just to see a fuckin' river
And i said god damn, god damn
God damn you man
And i left him where he stood
Then someone says hey swifty
Yer gonna have to come around sometime
2.Ford Madox Ford
Sarah stood upon the bridge
On the railing, near the edge
The only thing that brought her in
Was a book that she had read
The novel's name was long since lost
Never mind the cost
The only thing she could recall
Was that the author's name was ford
It was written in nineteen ten
You could never have met a finer man
Worked a farm for fifteen years
Just to see if he could
He lost his memory in the war
He forgot what he was fighting for
The only thing he knew for sure
His name was ford madox ford
Ford madox ford
The fattest poet who ever lived
His name was ford madox ford
Joseph conrad and henry james
Were two of the many famous names
That fat boy ford could claim
To be his bosom friends
Then one day conrad said to him
I may be climbing out upon a limb
But it would help you out my friend
If you would lose a little weight
Ford madox ford
The fattest poet who ever lived
His name was ford madox ford
3.Eleven ： Eleven
When i'm away
When i'm away
I swear under heaven
It's always eleven：eleven
And why it works i haven't a clue
Because i take so much of you
And piss it away
I piss it away
And i swear under heaven
It's always eleven ： eleven
And it's time for a break
For all our sake
For all our sake
It's time for a break
And it's always eleven ： eleven
4.We All Love Peanut Butter
Mustard gas and curly fries
Boys do well but girls, they die
You and i will take a trip now
Do the things that we think are hip, now
I said, we all love peanut butter
Take a feather and fly it from a roof
Maybe do a swan dive from a roof
Some say she's crazy and some say i'm a nut
Peanuts are nice but the acid is rare
I said, we all love peanut butter
Take your beat off hand and fly off in a rage
Take your beat off hand and seal it in a cage
Now my story is comin' to an end
Make sure it's a story and not your best friend
I said, we all love peanut butter
5.Laughing At The Ghosts
Pissing on a camp fire
With the morning coming close
Breaking empty bottles
And laughing at the ghosts
Laughing
Sitting in the evening
In a cluster on the porch
Recounting, man, we're spinning
And laughing at the ghosts
Laughing
6.Mr. Superlove
The storm was blowing from the south
The blood was running from your mouth
I recall the music playing
Couldn't hear what you were saying
The cat was howling, yowling, wanting out
You may not believe me
Baby, when i tell you
That i am mr. superlove
The glass was shattered on the floor
A hundred pieces maybe more
I remember you were crying
Just before you sent it flying
The sirens sounding
The pounding on the door
You may not believe me
Baby, when i tell you
That i am mr. superlove
Your clothes were lying on the chair
Your face was hidden by your hair
And all that i could think of then
Was what it must have felt like when
You were flying naked
Headlong down the stairs
You may not believe me
Baby, when i tell you
That i am mr. superlove
7.Thank You For The Roses
Walking on the road side
The rain was coming through our coats
The abandoned car came into view
Finding one door open
We gave a cry and dove inside
And that was where
We spent the afternoon
Afternoon
Oh, i thank you for the roses
Thank you for the ride
I caught with you
Standing on the curb side
Waiting for the light to go
Talking of our million things to do
A simple minded man there
Kept repeating go, go, go
And when he stopped
He was looking right at you
Right at you
Oh, i thank you for the roses
Thank you for the ride
I caught with you
8.Ride Ramona
Escalator, moving stairs
Blue and white rail, it disappears
It disappears, it disappears
Blue and white rail, oh, it disappears
Suck you under and eat you up
At the end girl, you better jump
You better jump, you better jump
At the end girl, oh, you had better jump
Daddy's waiting and mama too
Now ramona they wait for you
They wait for you, they wait for you
Now ramona, oh, they wait for you
But you'll remember, you always will
So ride ramona ＆til you've had your fill
You've had your fill, you've had your fill
Ride ramona ride, until you've had your fill
9.Fingers Fall
Doctor, doctor, where's the doctor
Wringing wet the woman hollers
Bandage wrapped around her hand
Collapses as they run to help her
Help her up and offer water
Did somebody call the doctor
Loud machines so foreign to her
Sent her splashing red against the wall
As her fingers fall
In the back a black piano
Sits in silence what do we know
Of it's past and of a time
And of the place it occupied
In the parlor with the daughter
Playing for her drunken father
Listening until he cried
You hear it echo out into the hall
As her fingers fall
In a bra and underwear
She's balanced now upon a chair
A letter written, tucked inside
A paperback, the rope is tied
Around her neck and through the rafters
This is it. she'll show the bastards
Everything she said was true
And now she'll be the envy of them all
As her fingers fall
10.Bible House
See the man standing in the doorway
(down at the bible house)
He's got a meat hook in his hand
There's a slab hanging in the closet
Gonna drag that meat to the promised land
See the girl working in the kitchen
She's got scars up and down her arms
Cigarette burning in the ashtray
You wouldn't think that it could do any harm
Everybody's happy
Everybody's smiling
You wonder if it's really true
All the little sinners
Underneath the floor
You wonder what they really do
See the group gathered in a circle
Holding hands and waiting for a sign
There's a smell coming through the floorboards
You know that devil's been here all this time
See the crowd coming up the driveway
The good people of the town
They've got gasoline and matches
They're gonna burn that hell house down
Everybody's happy
Everybody's smiling
You wonder if it's really true
All the little sinners
Underneath the floor
You wonder what they really do
