Vampire On Titus

Guided By Voices Vampire On Titus Lyrics
1.#2 In The Model Home Series

My automated spouse has a bug in her blouse

Invading my private space

And secretly she sees...

My cyber-son has found my gun

My favorite son has found my gun

...and now the fun begins...


2.Cool Off Kid Kilowatt

Combustions, man--yeah, that's where we live

We're starving for the season

Jonesin' for a reason

Isn't it interesting? isn't it odd?

Picked to finish last

I will speed my way past

Like a psychodrama, like a skeleton man


3.Donkey School

Cold...sweat

I lie, ingest

Breathe in deeply

I lie completely still

It's not the things you said

It's not the things you did

It's not the way you moved

So learn, so learn


4.Dusted

Comes a sign of wasted times
I will wait no more
Ever trudging through the aimless
Forest we explore
In our boots and money chains
Misfitting cloaks we can't contain
Hidden hates of urgency
Declaring our emergency
And up the tallest window world
The distance was not clear
Unoccupied with brutish thoughts
We had no cause to fear
A lesson so severe
Hotter than the fire we build
Darker than the truth
Ignorance reflected in
The windows of our youth
Push me now beyond the bounds
Of healing hands and thorny crowns
And all the sadness it implies
I've tasted with my own two eyes
And as the catlle rack was cleaned
The floor was brightly stained
And larger though we grew in size
Not a thing was gained
But fate has so ordained


5.E-5

Perfect birds sit on plastic bush

In my cubicle

I've been knowing this for some reason now

And anyday i expect the delivery truck

To bring me mine, the order is late

But still i wait for the starfire demon

...or leave it to fate


6.Expecting Brainchild

It isn't quite ready, it's almost 5:30

Scholars and flunkees

Faggots and junkies

Incinerator in a blood red sky

Kill the head and the body will die

I can't tell you that i'm happy

But i can tell you that my clothes are snappy

It's time to draw the line

Superman died tonight

Ate a pound of kryptonite

Drank a quart of brotherly love

Fell straight from the sky above

And if there's a hell below

Kenneth ray ain't gonna go

He lost his soul in the korean war

I lost my concentration when he opened the door

It's time to draw the line


7.Gleemer(The Deeds Of Fertile Jim)

I'm sitting on 2 heads

'some seat' i heard some said

Just waiting for sunday

Four days after wednesday

The higher clouds are closing in

To hide the deeds of fertile jim

Could this be a brand new low

One that we can't talk about

One that we can't live without

One that we can join in now

I'm standing on 2 feet

Now buried in concrete

Just waiting for sundown

So as to be not found

The higher clouds...


8.Jar Of Cardinals

Droves of growers rolling by

In the trees and way below

Simple factors foiling time

Never did we seem to know

She was high and i was low

Sitting in our bungalow

Eating something wonderful

Never ever getting full

Nests of crows are hoarding coins

In the competition zone

Hush now seedling, don't you cry

Maybe i'll be coming home quite soon for you

Quite sinful you...


9.Marchers In Orange

The white line of tracers
For the facers of the aftermath
Positioned in the situation
Lost in battles of love
Not learning not returning
Unborn unhatched
Yeah but wait
It's time to collide
To decide, if you will
A purpose for the marchers in orange
Still circus for the children in disguise
Throwing bones to the drug-sniffing dogs
Projecting what we've come to know as ours
For the colors we wear in our dreams
For the flags we fly in our films


10.Non-absorbing

Do you see me--like i see you?

Time lost--can't ever understand

The lines like most

We wants to be alone, but we can't be alone

Do you see me--like i see you?

Can't believe the things we ask,

Can't believe the things we want

Do you see more than i do?


11.Perhaps Now The Vultures

Shot down from the rafters and off to everafter

Consider this a failure, so be it--urchin promise

The curse is working--the trail of bodies

That leaves no suspect, what did you expect?

And get it, get it here, get it now

The news is not worthy

Don't even look

You're cornered into thinking

Invited to the lynching

Specify instructions

I'll shoot the arrow straight up

I'll frame your holy mugshot

Add insult to buckshot

And then i'll drink with glycerol frog-eye

Yeah, she can tell you every detail..


12.Sot

I walked into a place--a living space of total grace

I stepped into a place--a living space of total grace

And time without 'cause i'm tripped out is through

And there's nothing i'd rather do than be here right now

There's nothing i'd rather do...


13.Superior Sector Janitor X

In this bitter world

Known only as a number

It was given.

Blessed in its task

I transform into superior sector janitor x

My coats are blue

But my visions are white (aren't they?)


14.Unstable Journey

The poised tongues on easy street

Are shifting and delivering

The insidious snakes/the hackers and the meat

Are counting out the face of things

I know when you bring back sweet dougy's? car

You don't tell him where it has been

He's funny and cool and so is your pose

Conditional love wins out again

I'm feeling good and i don't know if that's alright

Deep in the rot i can't distinguish day from night

But all of it will transpire

Transactions made through the wire

Kiss me while i still speak

Hold me as i'm too weak

Enjoy it...delusions

Pushing closer to the rush

Opening and closing

You recognize me--feel the hush


15.What About It?

Now and then it's a way out life

Yes, indeed it's a strange effect

A couple o' brothers with a jar full of oil

Said 'grab it quick before it spoil'

What about it?

What about it?

Time is money if not well spent

Ain't now doubt it takes practice

To reprogram that static jive

And fly away like grandfather five

What about it?

What about it?

(we're finding time for wasting time)


16.Wished I Was A Giant

'wished i was a giant' said

'man get off the street!'

Spoken like a traffic cop

Cronies at his feet

Turned on his radio and picked up the noise

Age rules with reason

And who's to disagree?

Not mr. spit with his abrupt delivery

And mr. intelligent is just a wannabe like me

And who makes the breakfast?

And who gasses the truck?

The same little bee that stung the bull

And caused the bull to buck

Only a matter of time before we have to pay

If you were 10 years younger

And i was a sunbeam

'wished i was a giant' said

'man, it's just a dream'

Only a matter of time before we have to pay...


17.Wondering Boy Poet

Dream on child of change

Throw your javelin through the sun

Pierce the heart of everyone

Though we push to slave the days

This is not reality, this is just formality

The cup is only being filled

For a chance to have it spilled

Flowing--just like the days

Sailing--just like the days...


18.World Of Fun

It's a world of fun--don't lie to me

I'm thinkin' it's all open

For a chance to break your heart

And it's a world of fun for you

It's a world of fun for you

Come on now to the world of fun now for you
