1.Monarchy Of Roses
The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.
Do you like it rough I ask and are you on to task？
The calicoes of Pettibon where cultures come to clash
Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up,
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The savior of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
The cross between my former queen
Her legendary stare
The holy tears of Ireland
A lovely cross to bear
Several of my best friends know,
the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up,
And Sherry wants to spin it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
Several of my best friends wear,
the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up,
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The savior of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I'll say I want to
The story knows that I will never taunt you
Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I'll say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey
2.Factory Of Faith
All my life, I was swinging for the fence
I was looking for the triple
Never playing good defense
Gunning for the glitter
Every hot and heavy hitter
She was never really there
So I couldn't really get her
Say...
Factually, I
I'm just a piece of it
Factually, I
The very least of it
Piece of work
I was really quite a jerk
Keeping score is such a bore
A busy mind could go berserk
Oh, feast on this
I was fishing for a hook
So I took a little trip
And I opened up the book
I say...
Factually, I
I'm just a piece of it
Factually, I
The very least of it
Factually, I
It's just a medicine
Make you wanna cry
Why don't they let us in？
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
Tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
Late, last night
I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Crack your whip
She's confessing from the hip
She was good at getting there,
But not as much for round-trip
All this time,
I was searching for a dream
I was living in and out of every other sex machine
I said...
Factually, I
I'm just a piece of it
Factually, I
The very least of it
Factually, I
It's just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry
Why don't they let us in？
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
Tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
Late, last night
I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
And tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
Late, last night
I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends
I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Faith and love
And love
3.Brendan's Death Song
Well, if I die before I get it done,
will you decide？
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds;
he will survive
Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere,
just like the sky
You are love, you are the love supreme,
you are the rye
And when you hear this, you know it's your jam
It's your goodbye
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
We all crossed when we were feeling lost
It's just a time
Could Terry cry the day her lover died？
She recognized
Because he gave her a life of real love,
it's no surprise
The nights are long,
but the years are short when you're alive
Way back when will never be again
It was a time
It's gonna catch you
So glad I met you to walk a line
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
Come get me
Hey! Hey!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
Let me live so when it's time to die,
even the reaper cries
Let me die so when it's time to leave,
another sun will rise
I said, yeah!
I say, yeah!
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
Like I said,
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said,
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said,
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
4.Ethiopia
E I O I E I A
When you give your love away,
You get a feeling for
E I O I E I A
Live to love another day

More and more, I wanna raise
Raise my bar and raise your stakes

5.Annie Wants A Baby
Lucy Rebar,
She's a friend of mine.
Later she'll go,
Back and redefine the line.
It's getting longer all the time.
Oh yeah
Drinking sunshine,
She likes the taste of it.
She had a goldmine,
But then she wasted it away.
You should have seen her yesterday.
Oh yeah
Sing along the way
Nothing stops the ache
Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Cosma shiva
Got off
Made you a believer
I don't need to
Tender
Why do I believe you？
Annie wants a baby now.
Annie wants a baby any way she can.
Missing pieces,
She's got a lot of em.
Time decreases,
I wish I thought of em before.
Before it's time to close the store.
Oh yeah
Distillation
A lonely sycophant
Some liberation
The only seed we ever plant.
I wanna help you but I can't.
No no
Sing along the way
Nothing stops the ache
Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Love 'er leave 'er
Got off
Made you a believer
Neon soldiers
Left her
Now you've gotten older
Annie wants a baby now.
Annie wants a baby any way she can.
It's getting longer all the time.
It's time to re-design the sign.
Oh yeah
Sings along the way
6.Look Around
Woo!
Stiff club, it's my nature,
Custom love is the nomenclature.
Turn down mass confusion,
Hit the road cause we just keep cruisin'.
Double my fun, double my vision,
Long hard look at my last decision.
Hustle here, hustle there,
Hustle me b＊tch and you best beware.
It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Soft walk to horizon,
One big crash that no one dies in.
This is for the folks in Fayetteville,
It'll come true if you say it will.
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Please don't look right through me,
Hurts my heart when you do that to me.
Street life, out my window
City made breeze, gonna stroke my skindow.
Just a lot of words on an old brick wall,
Rob a lot of banks got a pedigree scrawl.
Put my peg into your square,
Run around like we just don't care.
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, oh yeah ah
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna getcha
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, oh yeah ah
When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around
When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around
7.The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie
Lipstick junkie
Be funky all he want
She came back wearing a smile
Look like someone drugged me
They wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
Well then we go uh huh oh
Tick-tock I want to rock you
Like the eighties
Cock blocking isn't allowed
Tugboat Sheila is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd

She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud
I said hey now

Delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud.
You've got the wrong girl
But not for long girl

8.Did I Let You Know
I'm comin' for ya, 'cause
'Cause I adore ya, and
I'd like to get inside your mass-production
This indecision has
Has got me cringin', well
I can't resist the smell of your seduction
Did I let you know？
Would you like to go
Unwrap the package without much persuasion？
Did I let you know？
Would you like to go？
I wanna dance to every day's occasion
This I know! Yeah, this I know!
(Take me home, well, take me home)
This I know, we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)
When we envision a lack of division and
The planet does another revolution
The day I blew on ya,
You said I grew on ya
Turns out that we are all the one solution
Go!
I'm comin' at you,
Year of the cat too
I like the sound of your articulations
Want to arouse her and maybe espouse her, well
She showed me love without the stipulations
This I know! Yeah, this I know!

This I know, we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)

Did I let you know？
Would you like to go？
Did I let you know？
Would you like to go？
Did I let you know？
And would you like to go？
9.Goodbye Hooray
Junior pimp at the old cafe,
He's gotta chase those girls around.
Westbound drunk with lots to say,
But he never makes a sound.
Hustlers get what they deserve,
But it's always half the date.
Good things come to those who wait,
Like an expiration date.
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.
Curb your tongue oh scallywag,
Because you got no flag to wave.
Save your breath for the black and white,
Every dog will have its day.
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you arou-hound!
I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, can't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll see you around.
Goodbye and hooray
I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
10.Happiness Loves Company
Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to no.1
Counting days and
Skipping your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb
Does it weigh a ton
I'll be yours tonight
Living the dream of a meteorite
Start jumping 'cause
We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Short stroking doesn't fly
Better to go for broke
Watchu smoking Mary Jane
And does it make you choke
Jumping the fence, riding the rails
Can you take a joke
I'll be yours today
Living the dream with a capital K
Start jumping 'cause
We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Tell me now, I'll tell you how
Just show me where to send
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess
Half blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time
To play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry
What a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
Better than ever like never before
Start jumping 'cause
We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess
Sweet talkin'
As I'm walkin' thru your part of town
Never again
Will Johnny C a Love Supreme be found
Is it ever meant to be
And is it so profound
Is it you and me
A billion to one make history
11.Police Station
I saw you at the police station
and it breaks my heart to say.
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant,
cold and grey.
I guess you didn't see it coming,
Someone's gotten used to slumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
I see you had to change careers.
Far away, but we both know it's somewhere.
I saw you on the back page
Of some free press yesterday
The driftwood in your eyes
Said nothing short of love for pay.
I know you from another picture,
Of someone with the most convictions.
We used to read the funny papers,
Fooled around and pulled some capers.
Not today, send a message to her.
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.
Down home country,
I rest my face on your bed.
I've got you ten times over,
I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray.
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
What happened to the funny paper？
Smiling was your money maker.
Someone oughta situate her,
Find a way to educate her.
All the way, time to come and find you.
You can't hide from me girl,
so never mind what I do.
Down home country,
I rest my face on your bed.
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
I guess I didn't see it coming,
Now I guess it's me who's bumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
You and I were mixing tears.
Not today, not for me but someone.
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.
Down home country,
I rest my face on your bed.
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
I've got my best foot forward
And I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
12.Even You Brutus
God is good and fate is great
Well, it feels so strong, it's hard to wait
You never know how it might unfold
Hearts to break and bodies to hold
Time will tell, but it never gets old
Like I told you, I'm in for the long, long
Had to have been one of those things
That took place in outer-space
A match made in heaven
Not a scratch on her face
Angels must've smoked some dust
Singing songs about, In God We Trust
Some things slide, but this is a must
Like I told you, there's a time for finding out
People try to tell me what not to do
'You shouldn't make it with a younger girl' and
Too many chances for the foot to drop
I tried to tell 'em that I found a pearl, well...
Like I told you, be careful what you're asking for
Hey, sister Brutus
I've got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
She was the cutest thing that I ever did see
A drink in her hand and I don't mean tea
She was with a dude, but I just didn't care
I had to find out; these moments are rare
And Stevie says, 'All is fair'
Like I told you, there is something for everyone
Well, I guess I never told you some things
That I really, really wanted to say and
Did I do everything I could do,
Or did the mice just need to play？
Like I told you, there's more than meets the eye
Hey, sister Brutus
I've got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
I'm not trying to point fingers at you
Well, I'm not trying to lay any blame
But when it comes to the punishment
Girl, you know how to bring the pain
Like I told you, I'd do it all again
Hey, sister Brutus
I've got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
Come on!
Hey, sister Brutus
There's a fury to the woman's wrath
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
13.Meet Me At The Corner
Please don't ask me who
Oh, who you think I am
I could live without that
I'm just a modest man
Meet me at the corner, and oh
Tell me what to do 'cause I messed up on you
And had I known, oh, that I do now...
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest,
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you
Please don't ask me where
Oh, where you think I've been
I've been a lot of places
But this could be my whim
Meet me at the corner, would I
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you
And had I known, oh, that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest,
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you
I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know
And I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know
Something I wanna show
I thought you oughta know
Please don't say you want
To keep in touch out there
To see you on the corner
Aw, that I just can't bear
Well, meet me at the corner and you'll
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you
And had I known, oh, that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest,
I will lay around and wait
Hey, and I turned
I turned my head when I thought
I saw a sign from the gods
A sign from the gods
That you weren't meant to be mine
And it's fine
Taking it all for a ride
Till the day when it's gone
I mystified my way and it all went wrong
When it's gone, I live and I love,
and I lose and I win
But it's better than ever, whenever I'm in
Thank you, girl, for everywhere that I've been
