Guided By Voices Propeller Lyrics
1.14 Cheerleader Cold Front

14 cheerleader cold front
Put your nose? beyond
Creeping boys in alleys
(find them when your gone?)
Stick close to locker rooms
And (waving clothes to wear?)
You will hold them dear
To something (queer and stare?)

16 used companions
Have nowhere to stay
Give them access to parking spaces
No coin meters there


2.Circus World

It's a storm
Understand me
They never will this
All we do we do for you
Shit gets old and demanding
It never fails to amaze me
When i see it all before me
If i were a freak who self-destructs
A ride for boys in monster trucks
The painted sluts training monkey men
I call to the door but they won't let me in
And the human fly gets smashed again
He mixes his blood with tonic and gin
And i choke on the sheep stuck in the company of wolves
As you raise up on your hind hooves
Daylight breaks
I see a face that used to cry
Where were you then
Somewhere off to yourself
There's too many people involved in the game


3.Exit Flagger

I don't know where i've coming from
Idon't know where i'm off to
And i need to find a way out
And he's here to help me find it

Exit flagger ...exit flagger
I'm not (going to race you?) today

I need?_life same as?
(and i don't believe in anything?)
I promise to (leave or lead ?) you one of these days
I promise it'll be real soon.

Exit flagger..exit flagger

(?) promise to leave you repeated?


4.Lethargy

Are you happy, happy today?
Is your face, facemask on?
For the air is thick and the clouds are moving so slowly

There's a book of instructions to the rusty time machine
That goes uloe
From really nowhere
I wish i could give a shit
Just a little bit
What's the difference?
Hey lethargy, lethargy, lethargy, lethargy, lethargy, lethargy,
lethargy


5.Metal Mothers

Tune in rock star, there's no dark spot running around your face
You find time to get laid
You find ways to get paid
You don't see no busted rainclouds watering up your days
And so set in your ways
And so fixed in your gaze

You're calling out for more
You're breaking out in time
It sounds just like a war
And everybody's blind
You're digging out some more
And now it's time to fly
Sleep? sound in the ghost town away
And you can just stay

A terrible way
Hanging out there, areas of gray
Got most of it motioned away
Got a life to lead oceans away

Tune in rock star, there's no dark spot running around your face
You find time to get laid
You find ways to get paid
You don't see no busted rainclouds watering up your days
And so set in your ways
And so fixed in your gaze


6.On The Tundra

On the tundra
We went under
We're going under now
On the tundra
We went to vicious places
Of dark and punished faces
Couldn't shake it
Or outgrow it
??swung hells?? get open now
Don't we know it
Cause with my second guessing
The subject for the testing

Chorus:look over our blunders
Our two-fisted wonders
The foxy wildest monster dial is
More peaceful than a human hammer
The great ??king tam?? transmissionaries
Evolving without (about) you
Dissolving without you
As you know
It's just too slow on the tundra

And then one day
Maybe today
We'll justify the joke
Make it our day
And blow the total savings
To satisfy our cravings

Chorus


7.Over The Neptune/mesh Gear Fox(A Rock Anthem)

Traveller's diagram
For where i am for what i am
??? vision? (visual?) code?
Overloads, it all explodes
And hey, let's throw the great party
Today for the rest of our lives
The band is just about to get started
So throw the switch
It's rock-n-roll time

Fo ce li let's us blow?
Then the onion lady blows
Kisses to the crying cooks with baited hooks
And lady looks?

And hey, let's throw the great party
Today for the rest of our lives
The band is just about to get started
So throw the switch
It's rock-n-roll time

You must be willing just to ride along with me
You must be happy just to do the job for free
Yours for the taking if you follow simple rules
Such acts of subservience were never taught in schools

Spit me out from your cosmos
Draft me into your troops
Set me up for the knockdown
You can watch
And i'll be back when it's over

I'm much greater than you think
I'm swimmer in the drink
I'm much greedier than you think
I'm slammer in the drink

And oh, mesh gear fox
Put out another bag of tricks from scientific box
Time's wasting and you're not gonna live forever
And if you do
I'll come back and marry you
No use changin' now
You couldn't anyhow and ever (forever?)

It's not the way that i fear that i feel
It's the way you act
It's the way you look when you're near me
It's not so hard to conceal to concede? (conceal?)
It's the things you say
It's the things you do go right through me


8.Particular Damaged


9.Quality Of Armor

Oh yeah going to drive my car
Oh yeah going to go real far
Ase sit down the final stages
Staring at the screen as the battle rages
You were (finding out ? ) in the dictionary
Taking photographs in the cemetary
Oh yeah going to drive my car
Oh yeah going to go real far
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Beyond the power of your clout

The worst offense is intelligence
The best defense is belligerance
How we stalemate our predicament
Governed by tissue and filament

Oh yeah going to drive my car
Oh yeah going to go real far
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Beyond the power of your (crowd or clout?)
Beyond the secrets of this world
Beyond the montezuma halls


10.Red Gas Circle

(?)......went ahead..we went ahead
And set it up and knock it down
You see it follly the (?)
Now its crumbling to the cold unforgiveable ground
You did it you had a hand in it
And now it's circling around
Oh yeah its circling around
I'm coming back to this world
To get things straight

Hey are you coming
Please don't be late

I just can't wait


11.Some Drilling Implied

I dare not say
The way i feel
About your inability to
Suck it up and win the game
Chew me up and spit me out
It's been a long ugly winter
I need a sunbath
??winning horse??
Of course i'm not complaining
I'm simply dying
Yes i'm waiting
Got a good love left
Good lord willing
Got a tractor to tow
The house on fantasy park
??the new corn belt??
In the new bible belt
Take me to the pilot light
And sing me to sleep
You fantasy creep


12.Unleashed! Large Hearted Boy

In a world you think you understand
Stay put and tune to another plan(et?)
It's up to you to stay put
The shoe is on the other foot
Driven to the fields
Whipped like a slave
Ready for (out?)
Ready for the .beast unleashed
Large hearted boy


13.Weed King

Long live rockathon
Offspring and tag alongs were finding
The history book has lost its binding
Pages everywhere
Two titans without care will read them
We conjure ghosts and then we feed them
And if it all goes well we'll laugh a lot
And then we'll all take photographs
Of what we made..lemonade
Freedomcake quick to bake
Trim the tree collectively
Breath the air from the fair
And watch colored lights shine down
Dancing round the lady's face
As we learned the sound
We can('t?) keep this violent pace
Though we know that haste makes waste
And i'm giving you a ring
For the dreams of the weedking we all sing
