1.Scissor Runner
She runs with scissors
She delivers
All my mail
Right under my door
You're sincerely
Lost completely
She ain't a princess
But she's an artist
Painting a portrait
All over my heart
Colors bleeding
So deceiving
No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring
A scissor runner stole my heart
I was on standby
Catching the red eye
I missed my flight
She didn't mind
I'll forgive you
If I outlive you
No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring
A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart
Uptown, downtown, all around the swingset
You say what you want I don't ever lose bets
Find me layin' low in the San Fernando
You ask me well I say I don't know
2.My Pet Snakes
And I don't believe in double vision
And I don't think that two heads are better than one
All I can see is ouroboros
When my pet snakes are sizing me up
And if you don't believe in destiny,
Then take what you're given
Oh, you and I got caught between magic and business
We walked in on you while you were polishing your knives
Sleeping in a twin bed with a trumpet by your side
Talk a lot of shit but you would never start a fight
God it makes me queasy when you smile
And I don't believe in sucking your way to the top
Fingers crossed, you're flipping me off
No, I don't need your supervision
I'll sink this ship if I want
And if you don't believe in chemistry,
Then what were we doing？
Oh, you and I had everything
From rebirth to ruin
Well, every time you come around I have to run and hide
I get claustrophobic even when I am outside
I thought we were brothers, man I thought that we were tight
Sucking out the venom of your bite
Hey, dad. Hello？
And I don't believe that paradise is lost
I say this with my fingers crossed
And if you don't believe in prophecy
Decide when it's finished
Oh, you and I tried everything
From heroin to Guinness
2009 it was a bastard of a year
I cannot get stoned no more I only get the fear
We can have it out or we can have another beer
All the best of luck with your career
3.Switchblade
It's been one long year of Saturday nights
In the city of a billion suns
Sleeping through the afternoon
With your latest only one
You had her every way from Sunday
And on Monday morning too
You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
See you on the way up or the way down
See you on the way down or the way up
See you on the way up or the way down
It was poverty that kept you sweet
And dreams that kept you young
The money started rolling in
You stopped having any fun
You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
See you on the way up or the way down
See you on the way down or the way up
See you on the way up or the way down
You used to dine out on a dollar
With your switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground
See you on the way up or the way down
See you on the way down or the way up
See you on the way up or the way down
4.Big Wave
Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
We're spending what we haven't made
And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But still the banks gotta break
'Cause the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books all fried
You are bankrupting
Because all the loans you take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave
I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
So there are these little pills I been takin'
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And wakin' up in the water
And the feeling's a lie
But the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
I know you feel deprived (You don't trust me)
All of us still alive (You never touch me)
It's really just that I don't feel like it much these days
And my love's a lie
'Cause the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I have been corrupted
'Cause all the lovers I take
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
You're gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
Big wave, da da da
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
5.While Men Are Dreaming
I laughed while you were sleeping
While Abraham shaped your side
Never loved you less, never loved you more
As when Sirius hung in the sky
A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I a lamb dreaming I was a lamb？
Or am I asleep in the clover tonight？
While men are dreaming
they know it not a dream
Upon wakin', we're fools again
What if we're sleeping？
A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I meant to never see you again
Or am I dreaming asleep by your side？
6.Animal
We must modernize Jerusalem
Detonate the temples, let them fall over the ？
We will organize in Bethlehem
Able-bodied women and agnostic headstrong men
Oh, we'll meet at 10
If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
We must rearrange reality, shuffle all the cards
Pair the joker with the queen, just to make her scream
To destroy all our enemies, must investigate our friends
Find the ones who don't believe
Hang them from the trees
If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
7.Just Like Zeus
Up on Mount Olympus, livin' on a pile of trash
With all the lunatics; how they worship me
What are you going to do with the back of that ticket？
That's my number but, I'll call you
There's nothing less I'd rather do
You've been sniffing up that mercury
From a broken thermometer
Like a cloud gatherer, just like Zeus
Out at the car show
She does word jumbles＊
Like seeing a cold sore in a kissing booth
There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do
And I, I live with the shame
But you live with the same, same
Livin' on milk duds and therapeutic mud
Ninety days at promises with no booze
Outside of Silver Lake, I am the biggest fake
Like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do
And I, I live with the flames
But you, you're taking the blame, blame
There's nothing less I'd rather do
8.New Yorker Cartoon
I was running
From imaginary vampire bats
I was shrieking at the moon
While Montezuma laughed
Oh, as ？ blues
And reds and greens and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm 100 years old
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon with you
I was making love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my old big？ dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye
If I could give myself some advice
I'd go out of my mind right now
I'd stay here with my baby
Forever in the here and now
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon with you ...
I was returning my ？
To the rattan and paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag
My sister's formed with flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An ancient child prodigy
A genius who inspires
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon with you ...
9.Straight Edge of the Blade
10.Slavedriver
Slavedriver take me home, I need a master
I'll beg for mercy and you'll whip me faster
Some boys want freedom man, they have to wonder
I only need four walls, my heart grows fonder
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
There are so many ways to please your lover
I speak when spoken to, I sweep the ashes
I get my sweet reward of forty lashes
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
You know, you know
You can tie my hands behind my back
Now when I ask you to attract
I will not tell you not to stop
Feeling in my mind I can't describe
Can't define I only know
That I want more, more
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
