El Oso

Soul Coughing El Oso Lyrics
1.$300

Lifting me up like a garage door
I need to feel it when the drug starts coming on
I know you lord are a jealous lord
I know the tablet is your competition

And i need for you to be reasonable

How much?
She said for three hundred dollars
I'll do it
Beating me down just like a rain storm
I need to feel it when the rain starts coming on
I know the skin is a jealous skin
I know the sky it is its competition


2.Blame

Blame
Is the cure
Cure anything
Throw the rudder down
Throw the rudder down
Broad
Latitude
Broad latitude
Throw the rudder down
Throw the rudder down


3.Circles

when you were languishing in rooms i built to foul you in
And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in

I don't need to walk around in circles

When the ghostly dust of violence traces everything
And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing

But i can't sigh now that you made the move
It has gone and gone to dogs, lay down on the floor
For the right price i can get everything
Slip into the car, go driving to the farthest star


4.Fully Retractable

Shooed out like a house fly
This house was half my mind
I don't dispute the doubts you've outlined
But it's my right to waste your time

These things
May come to be
And these things
Won't kill me
And these things
It stands to reason
These things
Please tell me

Throw out the la-la by the busload
Match the photo to the description
I do indeed and shall continue
Dispatch the shiftless man to points beyond

And spieling
So ceaselessly
Is my grief
Please spare me
Your feelings
The spattering
It bores me
Don't test me

And half-masted
Bass boosted
Sling-backed
Fully retractable

Burned in on the 8th of may
She was spectacular
I walk the halfmoon by the busstop
Sliding cross the street to her


5.Houston

I met a girl on roller skates
Ahe had a spare bag,
She had lost some weight
Where i used to work,
She was a waitress
She proposed a trade,
It was generous

She's gone to houston,
Feel like i'm floating in a warm sea
And if she finds out when she comes back,
I know that she wil leave me

Oh i heard a sign, it was a dull crack
It was a clock hand,
It was snapping back
Oh it wasn't her's,
It was the dope's kiss
I'll take the blame upon my shoulder,
I just love to feel like this

Roller boogie, motherfucker


6.Maybe I'll Come Down

Dumb bah did du dumb

I need time to scrounge the rent,
Need time to contemplate the accident
I got to drag my ass to now,
How did i come to stop here?
And oh i knew the gas was gone
But i had to rev the motor
Pull back the hand you might get it cut off in the motor

Maybe i'll come down

She's on laureate's turf,
She's on laureate's side
She's in a better state,
She feels a better fire
And oh i dreamed a great parade,
Shooting all the guns in brooklyn
The man who had a spare held out two
And then you and then you took one

Freeze or burn, all else is only icing


7.Misinformed

His eyes go funny, you can't place why.
All dolled up in bellhop drag.

It is like a burden to the beat,
To the long gone.

I was once misinformed about your intentions.

Were you right to burn the rock star?
Were you right to drop the roster?

One dollar bill, one dollar bill.
Nah nah nah.


8.Miss The Girl

Daughter to the pop veneer
Shining like a new mint quarter
Shining like the franklin mint
Seedy like the lampshade quarter
Rolling with the dopes you know
Rolling with the wrong gun on you
Going down to baltimore
Going in an off-white honda
Oh i miss the girl, miss the girl, miss the girl
I want to give myself to the water
Speeding to the rupture line
Rat-a-tatting boombox moocher
Darling with the boop shuh-nai
Rat-a-tatting lose your future

I dream that she aims to be the bllom upon my misery

She rocks the mop style, she needs the rest

And i know it's not the same thing


9.Monster Man

Stop hitching the monster man
It was a bad plan,
But i had to get to town
Unbitten,
But the way i found it was a hand came down
And pow,
I got illuminated

That's why i have got my mind in my own

Hand over the wave,
Hand over the water,
The realest of the real
It's like the burnout said - phenomenon

To the ruder bar in a buddha plump van
It was a stamped can,
It was a clamor
Understanding,
And all you people jumping but we raised the bar
You're dumber than a box of rocks
Give up, star

The inscrutable,
The irrefutable,
The illegible,
The indisputable
The undisputed

Makes me go on a dig


10.Pensacola

Oh pride is not a sin,
And that's why i have gone on down to wal-mart
With my checkbook to get you some.

Like waves in which you drown me, shouting

I knoe you must've realized by now

And by the lawnchairs there
Next to the racks of guns
Your self esteem is waiting
Canned up in alluminum


11.Rolling

i'm rolling.........
I've gotta get a new balm
I've gotta get a tight tension on
I've got to slip it up until the rush gets gone
I've got to feel it with the hot mind on
I'm rolling
Hey norman was it thrown with a broken arm?
Bottle it up, to keep it warm
I'm rolling
I know you got it but you got to go
I'm gonna get into the batter so the mix might glow
I hate to do it, but i did it though
I'm gonna bite into the body like the risk is no risk
I got the souped up car and what you call tripping on the boom
bap etymological
I ride the fader and i ride it low
I'm gonna slip into the field like han solo
I'm rolling
One two into the amplifier, the electrified two
Into the amplifier, and you got to get to
Into the amplifier, one two into the amplifier
I'm rolling


12.So Far I Have Not Found The Science

I don't mind the worry following me like a dinosaur
I don't fear i am descending into the molten core
So far, i have not found the science
But the numbers keep on circling me

I'm gonna give you most of mine
I'm gonna give it if i don't slip you


13.St. Louise Is Listening

I stopped the thought before it's drip became insistent
I rubbed it out and loved the spot where it was missing
She's widely known the only maquereau that pays her taxes
I got to box her for the money, said it might end
Reeling and stubling, i've got to bump around a while

You don't use words like that, st. louise is listening

You rang the eskimo to meet you at the station
Oh he's like milk to you half swedish and half asian
And your aphasia strikes a bargain with the barter yard
I got to box you for the money, said it might end
Reeling and stumbling, i've got to bump around a while
You don't use words like that, st. louise is listening

I could be your babydoll, i could be your doll baby
I could be the things you want i could do it all for you

Let me get up on it, let me let me


14.The Incumbent

New york, new york
I won't go back
Indelible reminder of the steel i lack
I gave you seven years
What did you give me back?
A jaw-grind, disposistion to a panic attack

On this side the incumbent
And who quoth
There's only one everything
Red sucker mouth
