Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels Daisies Of The Galaxy Lyrics
1.Grace Kelly Blues

The cut great mindwalking through the dirty streets
Of Paris in the hot August heat
Sun melts in the fake
Smile away
Just looking for a place to stay

The actress gave up all her old dreams
And traded up, now she is a queen
Royal families dont have time
for that shit
Your crystall ball you keep it hid

The tractor trailer driver radios
Help me someone I'm out here on my own
Truck drives from the black night away
Praying for the light of day

The kid in the mall works a hot dog on a stick
His head is a funny shape his heart is a brick
Taking your order he willlook away
He doesn't have a thing to say

But me I'm feeling pretty good as of now
I'm not so sure when I got here and how
sun melt in the fake
smile away
I think you know I'll be ok


2.Packing Blankets

Today is a lovely day
Start up the car with the sun

Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen

Cross when the drawbridge light is green
Don't look back to that messed-up scene

Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen

And all our troubles will be gone
Blowing out over the bridge
Floating up into the sky
Making the storm clouds cry

Put out that smoke and breath some air
Get a new name and cut your hair


3.The Sound of Fear

Sun comes up on the old neighborhood
Spray-painted and dead firewood
Well i don't know where i'm gonna be next
I don't care where i am gonna be

Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear

Some people like to call me Chuck
It's charles and you are shit outta' luck
If you think what happens next
You think you know what happens

Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear

Sun goes down on the old neighborhood
Dark, Damp the stop where i once stood
I don't where the bus stops next
And i don't care where the bus stops

Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear

The sound of fear
I can't hear
The sound of fear


4.I Like Birds

I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won't listen to their words
'cause I like
birds

I don't care for walkin' downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, I like
birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's alright if you act like a turd
'cause I like
birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on


5.Daisies of the Galaxy

Take heart my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are

Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is

Whatching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't no place for
A boy and his friends to go

I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up..


6.Flyswatter

Little field mice
Living under the house
Never eating much
Tough life for a mouse
And if you think you're gonna be spared you're wrong

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you trough
The day

Heat is rolling in like
Hell's red rug
Stinking like the breath of beelzebub
And if you think you won't walk on coals you will

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you trough
The day


7.It's a Motherfucker

It's a Motherfucker
Being here without you
thinking 'bout the good times
thinkin 'bout the bad
And I won't ever be the same

It's a Motherfucker
Getting through a Sunday
Talking to the walls just me again

But I won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a Motherfucker
How much I understand
The feeling that you need someone
I could take you be the hand

And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same


8.Estate Sale

(Instrumental)


9.Tiger in my Tank

I bought some rock star ashes,
From the back of rolling stone
I guess he wouldn't mind it,
They couldn't sell his soul

The tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct
And im not feelin so good myself,
I think im on the brink
Of disaster

I had a dream last night
The tv and the phone
Grew some legs and took a walk
And left me all alone

The tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct
And im not feelin so good myself,
I think im on the brink
Of disaster

When I grow up ill be
An angry little whore,
Ill give you all the finger
I'll sell you all what for


10.A Daisy Through Concrete

Wake up the dying,
Dont wake up the dead
Change what your sayin,
Dont change what you've said
Now that its time that
I got out of bed

When I'll walk myself
Down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete

Pink and brown babies
In pink stroller cars,
Know that it's good
They dont care where they are
They know that home
Doesn't feel very far

When I'll walk myself
Down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete

Airplane is flyin up in the sky
Makin a pattern
With the white lines
Looks like a heart
Or maybe a pie


11.Jeannie's Diary

How does our world spin
Without me and her nest
Could there really be
Such happiness

Oh, she's got a dark side too
Even murderous
But i love that
Just like here

I don't have a change at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In Jeannie's Diary
One single page
In Jeannie's Diary

Yes i am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious

Oh, she's going to let me in
I just know its so
Then again, who do i kid

I don't have a prayer at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In Jeannie's Diary
One single page
In Jeannie's Diary

She could have anything she wants
So why not me
She could have anything she dreams
Oh, to be one single page
One single page
One single page in Jeannies Dairy


12.Wooden Nickels

Went down by the old courthouse
Stumbling through the streets
Had to get out of the house
Had to use my feet

And you may not think much of me now but
I think so damn much
of you

Don't take any wooden nickels
when you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
when the party is over
you're on your own

Trash truck coming up the road
Picking up the trash
Riding to a better place
Hoping we don't crash

Thinking of things after now
I never would have guessed it
this way

Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
When the party is over
you're on your own

And you may not think much of me now but
I think so damn much
of you

Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
Now the party is over
I'm on my own

La lalala lalalala
la lala la la


13.Something is Sacred

Takin a walk down to the mall
Smellin piss and beer and gas
That could be me in a coupla' years
Suckin fumes under the highway pass

On a rainy day
While I wear newspapers for pants
And a tee shirt that says 'damn I'm good'

People look funny when they cry
'cause they just can't let it hide
Typing into your little box
Press the cry button
Then it unlocks

On a rainy day
No one has a thing to say
Easier to look the other way

Take a look in the killer's eyes
And you see there's nothin there
But something is sacred in your eyes
And something to believe

On a rainy day
And as the world will blow to bits
I'll cradle you and hold you tight


14.Selective Memory

If I lay my head down
I will see you in my dream
Wearin that polka dot dress
And sittin by the stream
Leaning in to hear you
You will whisper in my ear
And everything I need to know
I finally hear

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me

When I was a baby we would
To out to the park
And sit out in the fountain
And splash around until it's dark
Days go on forever
When you only know that much
And everything you need to know
Is answered with one touch

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me


15.Mr E's Beautiful Blues

The smokestack is spitting black soot into the sunny sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The Elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The Ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage

God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah

The girl with the curls and the sweet big ribbon in her hair
She's crawled out the window 'cause her daddy just don't care
(Come on!)

God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger I tell you he is quite a scare

God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah

The kids fit their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
Their neighbour digs the flavour still he's moving to another
town
(and i don't believe he'll come back)

God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah

And I don't know how you're taking all the shit you see
You don't believe anyone but most of all openly agree

God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day Ahah
