The Residents Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Lillie

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

I saw a woman chewing with nothing in her mouth
Her teeth were in her hands and her tongue was hanging out
Then she started drooling and caught it in a cup
The cup was full of pennies, it spilled when she got up

Some guy is in the shadows grabbing empty air
He could be catching butterflies if there were any there
All the freaks are not inside the tents
Some pay to come and be in the audience

I saw a great big guy who had a little gun
He pulled it out and smiled and then he sucked his thumb
His wife was standing by with a leather leash
Fastened to a child who cried beside their feet

The scary one is back with clothes so white and clean
And her face that's coated with a quarter inch of cream, cold
cream
She's the one who freaks the freaks out

Lillie, little Lille, Lillie, little Lillie, Lillie, chilling
Lillie
Lillie, with her white face
Delicate Lille is stainless lonely and

She is too white
Like a face in a flashlight with teeth that might bite
She is too white
Like dice rolling snakeyes in headlights at night
She is too white
Like a corpse in the sunshine or eyes in a fight

There's a spot a spot on my glove
On my glove I know
No, no, maybe it was make 'em runny
Make 'em runny, honey
Doilies, doilies, where have all the doilies gone?

Roses will whither and die
Along with the lace and the lies
Nothing is nicer than death
At matching the bad and the best

Heh, heh, he hated me, he hated me
And hate is white and hate is hot
But I'll not even have disdain for him
Not even a stain on a memory looked up to

Lacking all respect for him
I'm blacking out the specks of decent thoughts
That lingerin' me and leave only white
White, peaceful white, calm white swans

Silently flying in the snow look down and see
The bleached bones of a noble knight
Who died trying to save his lady
His lovely white, lady who brought her man milk
In the moonlight but it was too late, too late, too late he said

Scratch out the pin holes
Open up the sores
Don't look out the window
White hatred's at the door

And he tried to make me dirty
Make me dirty make me dirty
Touch her, someone, touch her, someone
Reach out to her, touch her soiled soul


2.Jungle Bunny

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Once there was a little man
And they called him Shoe Shine Stan
Everyday the man would sweep
Clutter from the busy street

Seldom did he say a word
At least that anybody heard
Well, there was something in his face
That could never be erased

Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man
Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man

And like a little paper pup
He looked up from the broken cup
He drank his morning coffee in
And wiped the dribbles from his chin

Then I felt his eyes meet mine
And he made a little whine
He came within an inch or two
And then he whispered, 'I hate you'

Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man

Once I had some pets
And I let them starve to death
It was a silly little monkey
And a big white easter bunny

They lived in little cages
And sometimes in rages
I would turn them upside down
And drag the bunny all around


3.Gone Again

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Amusement parks are caked with sounds
A solid hunk of meat
A barker's sweat flings from his tongue
His tattoo shines with heat

A wary stranger stands and sways
Enraptured by his stance
Two-headed goats come stumbling by
And give a troubled glance

The barker looks into the eyes
The stranger tries to bend
The barker swears to more delights
For all who seek within

The stranger enters canvas doors
Smells the fresh cut hay
The barker points to Siamese twins
The stranger looks away

The eyes of horse faced women
Watch the few who wander through
They sense the tension in the air
And smell the sweet taboo

A heart beats fast against a chest
The stranger leaves the tent
The waves of people drown the sounds
Of loss of innocence


4.Make Me Moo

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Their eyes are big and sweet
When they eat, I don't know why
Why can't I be a cow, anyhow
Cows never cry

My heart was broken, broken
Cows are so open, open
Broken, broken, broken, it was broken
Open, open, open, cows are open

Every heart that's been broken
Is a heart with a hole
Every heart that's still open
Is the seed of a soul

Every heart that's been broken
Is a heart with a hole
Every heart that's still open
Is the seed of a soul

Make me moo, make me moo
Make me moo, make me moo
Who can truly make me moo?
Make me moo, make me moo

Make me moo, make me moo
Make me moo, make me moo
Have a heart and make me moo
Make me moo, make me moo


5.Dead Wood

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I wish I was big
I wish I was tall
I wish I had houses
Instead of this hall

Somebody put me
Inside it one day
I know who it is
But he won't let me say

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

He looks at me sometimes
And sometimes he knocks
On doorways beside me
And sometimes he rocks

Me to sleep in a chair
For he knows that I need
Affection as much
As a cut needs to bleed

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood


6.Death In Barstow

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Once I went to Barstow
Then I went to bed
First my friend was with me
Then my friend was dead

All his clothes were burned up
And his thighs were red
After all we've been through
What more can be said?

Once I went to Barstow
Then I went to bed
First my friend was with me
Then my friend was dead

All his thighs were burned up
And his clothes were red
After all we've been through
What more can be said?


7.Demons Dance Alone

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

You can know a needle's eye
Or a hungry baby's cry
But no one knows that demons dance alone

Silver linings came and went
When I was an innocent
Never knowing demons dance alone

But somehow I was seduced
And my innocence reduced
By a demon that became my own

Knowingly I followed it
I took the hook and swallowed it
Until I found it dancing in my home

Terrified I tried to quit
But I need the taste of shit
Like a dancing demon needs a home

I had hoped to fill my years with
More than melancholy tears
But the demon makes me dance alone


8.From The Plains To Mexico

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

We were lyin' on the prairie, on slaughter's ranch one night
With our heads upon our saddles and a campfire burnin' bright
Soon we fell to talkin' of distant friends so dear
Oh, when a boy raised up in his saddle and he wiped away our
tear

Oh, I fell in love with a neighbor girl, her cheeks were soft
and white
Another feller loved her too and it ended in a fight
Oh, it makes me shake and shudder to think of that awful night
When Tom and I began to fight and I stabbed him with my knife

I fell down on my knees and tried to stop the blood
That came out from his side all spurtin'
Like some bright red crimson flood

And now when I am sleepin' I hear him softly say
Oh Bob, I know you're sorry but I've gone to a better place
Yes I guess, I believe it but I just can't let it go
His dyin' eyes are with me, oh from the plains to Mexico


9.Constantinople

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come

All the leaves are off of the oak
And all of the sheep have followed
The spoken word
I'm coming Constantinople
Here I come

So I stand out in the open
All my friends are with you I hope
And pray
I'm coming Constantinople
Here I come

Here I come, Constantinople
Here I come, Constantinople
I am coming, Constantinople
Here I come


10.Hanging By His Hair

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Helpless and hanging around
Inches away from the ground
Where I'm gonna be found
By my father

It's kinda cloudy and gray
Soon they'll be coming my way
Maybe it's better this way
For my father

In front of family and friends
I killed my brother and then
I tried to do it again
To my father

Soon I'm gonna be dead
But I slept on his bed
With his women and said
Fuck you, father

I never thought that I would be
Discovered in a hardwood tree
Hanging by my hair above
A pair of mating turtle doves


11.My Brother Paul

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I still remember that day in December
When you pretended to fall on the stairs
You said you were scared that the top of your head
Was open and bared itself to the air

I can cry if I try
But I lie awake at night

You said that you tripped on a box that he shipped
Before he committed himself to the war
I was at work and believed you were hurt
'Til I saw that dirt from a hole in the yard

I was still crying and you were still lying
The following morning out there in the hall
Where it was painful to watch you arrange
Those portraits you painted of my brother Paul

I can cry if I try
But I lie awake at night

I can't believe that I was deceived
That day we received that present from Paul


12.I'm Dreaming Of A White Sailor

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Sometimes I feel his feet
When I'm fast asleep
I know that I'm dreaming
But the touch is soft and sweet

I went to see the silent sailor
And the sailor said
'Do not forget my face, my friend
For if you do I'm dead'

'Well, I don't see how that could be'
I said to him as well
As peeling off a piece of paper
Stuck to my lapel

The sailor fell upon his knees
Then he fell beside
The cedar chest that he had carved
Then I think he died

Well, this was curious, I thought
So I wandered in
And saw that there was something written
On his wrinkled skin

Well, I thought the thoughts of little children
And the thoughts of men
I thought the thoughts of stupid people
Who have never been

So much in love as they should be
And got confused too easily
To fall in love again
To fall in love again

And so I say goodbye to you
And hope that maybe someday soon
We will meet again up there
For death is fair and friends are few

Friends are few
Friends are few
Friends are few
...


13.Forty-Four No More

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Once I lived on a dead end street
With a little bitty woman with big ol' feet
It was always dark, we was always poor
The number outside was forty-four

One day bad blood creeped in my mind
Sucked on my soul and made me blind
I thought she lied, so I opened the drawer
Pulled out my bullets and my forty-four

Forty-four, it was forty-four
He couldn't stand that number no more
Forty-four, it was forty-four
Don't wanna hear that number no more

I found her in the store with a preacher man
Who laughed when she slapped the gun out of my hand
A train went by as I ran out the door
The number on the engine was forty-four

I rode that train to New Orleans
And took my tears to a voodoo queen
I couldn't live like that no more
It was my birthday, I was forty-four

Forty-four, he was forty-four
He couldn't stand that number no more
Forty-four, he was forty-four
Don't wanna hear that number no more

Forty-four, he was forty-four
He couldn't stand that number no more
Forty-four, he was forty-four
Don't wanna hear that number no more


14.The Car Thief

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I once, I once, I once
Was part of you

You hoped that the
Hands choking me
Had broken me apart

Now I don't
Now I don't
Now I don't
Believe in you

My open end
Your only friend
Was always in the dark

'Til I took a shoe
That belonged to you
Then took a torch to your new car

And now that car
Looks like a star
That's fallen far from the dark

And now that car
Looks like a star
That's fallen far from the dark

And as my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart

As my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart

As my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart

As my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart

As my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart


15.Betty's Body

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty

I could be the lover
Of anybody but her
I could be the lover
Of anybody but her

I see her every morning
And watch her fingers forming
Shapes that are as graceful
As a baby's face full of hope

Until it turns to
A neediness that burns through
Your heart like it was butter
In the mouth of someone's mother

Betty's body, Betty's body
Betty's body, Betty's body

A certain scent of perfume
Makes me think of her room
And how I'd like to be there
Lightly touching her bare back

And gently soaking
In the sweet unspoken
I could be her lover
If it, if it weren't for mother

Betty, Betty
If you met me, you'd forget me
Betty, Betty
I am so shy, every day I
Secretly cry since my mom died

Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty
Anybody but Betty

I could be the lover
Of anybody but her
I could be her lover
If it, if it weren't for mother


16.Lizard Lady

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

What's a woman going to do but throw away her bread
Her feet are feeling funny as she lies beneath the bed
She reminisces of the pungent Adriatic Sea
And then she crawls and counts her cans and twitches like a flea

What she really likes to do is sit upon a pew
And make believe that time has stopped and motionless is new
Planes are stranded in the sky and drains are stopping, too
She alone is laughing under eyelids full of flu

She scurries hurries worries that the wicked will receive
Their candy from a handsome man and coffee from a thief
She gazes at a hourglass and asks it if it cares
And then she wonders if the lizard likes his lettuce rare

'Lizard, yes a lizard, little lizard of the sea
Conspicuously alcoholic, flicks his tongue at me
Release me, release me lizard, blizzard of the bee
Mushed inside a sock you still dare me to die
Dare me to die at home'

'Coating all my lungs with honey, sticky coating running runny
Feet of lizard fly and stop and fly and stop and fly
And flicker tongue is licking out to find me, feel me, hide!
Hide from the tongue'

'The tongue is coming! Cruising! Oozing!
Over land and under ashes, in the sunlight, see it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye, but don't believe in me.
Don't believe in me, don't believe in me
Don't believe in me, don't believe in me
Don't believe in me'


17.Six More Miles (To The Graveyard)

Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams

Oh, the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles, I leave my darlin'
Never on this earth to meet no more

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles, long and sad
Six more miles, I leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Oh, I hear the train a-comin'
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I'll be left here all alone

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles, long and sad
Six more miles, leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had
She's the best friend I ever had


18.Hey Good Lookin'

Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams

Said, hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hotrod Ford and a two dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So, if you wanna have fun, uh, come along with me

So, hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Well, I'm free and ready, so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me?

No more lookin', I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company?

I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
Find me one for five or ten cents
Keep it 'til it's covered with age
Writin' your name down on every page

So hey, good lookin', what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Oh, how's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Yeah, how's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

Oh, how about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Ah, how about cookin' somethin' up with me?
How, how, how?


19.A Fool Such As I

Lyricist:Bill Trader

Pardon me if I'm sentimental
When you say goodbye
Don't be angry, sugar pie

When you're gone I will dream a little
Dream the years gone by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool
Such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we're through

I am a fool but I love you dear
Until the day you die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool
Such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we're through

I'm a fool but I love you dear
Until the day you die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I


20.Semolina

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Semolina
Semolina

Semolina
Loves the seashells
At the shore she
Loves the seashells

She can see the silver
Sometimes shining on the sea
Reflecting from the flying fishes
Wishing she could be

A little piece of sand that's blown
Above the ocean's breeze
But all she has is thoughts of all
Those fingers peeling seeds
And leaving them to mold among
The women watching weeds

Semolina
Semolina

Semolina
Loves the seashells
At the shore she
Loves the seashells

Semolina
Semolina
Semolina
Semolina

Semolina


21.Blue Rosebuds

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I love you and 'cause I do
My sky has changed from grey to blue
But blue's not just a color of the rainbow

It's shade is not a hazy hue
But pure and hard, my blue sky blue
It's like a Roman candle coming rosebuds

Your words are empty, hollow bleatings
Of a mental crutch
They're open-festered indigestion
With a velvet touch

A coma with a sweet aroma
Is your only dream
Malignant with the misconception
That every grunt can gleam

But lichen-covered corpuscles
Are filthy at my fist
Infection is my finest flower
Mildewed in the mist
Infection is my finest flower
Mildewed in the mist

Infection, infection
Infection, infection

I love you and 'cause I do
My sky has changed from grey to blue
But blue's not just a color of the rainbow


22.Ship Of Fools

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Hatred has purity, hatred has size
Hatred has purpose and hatred has eyes
Hatred has honor and hates to hear lies
Hatred has hunger and it never dies

Pain and pleasure are the twins
That slightly out of focus spins
Around us till we finally realize
That everything that gives us pleasure
Also gives us pain to measure it by
And in order to survive

Hatred has energy, hatred is near
Hatred has carnage and hatred is clear
Hatred is frustrating love for fear
Hatred is human and hatred is here

All our lives we love illusion
Neatly caught between confusion
And the need to know we are alive


23.Migration

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

We're rising as the sun retreats into the trees
Thinking of our destination as we start to leave
Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea

Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea

Marching to the sea, marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, marching to the sea
Marching to the sea, we're marching to the sea

Smiling from the gentle touches of the evening breeze
And no one is unhappy now and no one is fatigued
We're marching to the sea, marching to the sea

I'm a tired old man in a tired old land
Watching shadows moving across the sand
Now they move at night and I understand
That they cannot see more than they can stand

I have been deceived, I have been murdered
I have seen the soul of a unborn lamb
It can burn a hole in a guilty man
But it cannot stand in a foreign land

We have left our lamb, we have left our land
We have left behind all we understand
Now we must cry out, yes, we must demand
That children live in a land that's low

Where the holes are deeper than light can go
Let them have not pride but instead a soul
That sees the shame of the hands that hold


24.Mr. Mysery

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

They call me Mr. Mysery
They laugh and dump, decay on me
He let them throw me in a pit
Full of angry, spite and spit
With wasted flesh and broken bones
God has left me all alone

He made me Mr. Mysery
I don't know why he's mad at me
He made me Mr. Mysery
I don't know why he's mad at me

He hates my hands, he hates my skin
He hates the smell upon my chin
But he still shines his light on me
With love disguised as agony
I beg for pain but not for death
His hatred fills my emptiness


25.God's Magic Finger

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

When I was having a party and wanted to hear a song
A disconnected finger appeared where it didn't belong
It floated above the floor and wrote something on the wall
No one could read the writing so someone was called

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

He said, my father was crazy with fingernails like claws
And that he ate grass with asses, then he paused
Then when he continued, he mumbled about his God

He said my days were numbered, so I started to nod
It's late now, I'm alone, still thinking about what I saw
Something woke me up, a strange noise out in the hall
I hear it again

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

It was a finger instead of a singer
(Finger, it was a finger)
It was a finger instead of a song
(It was a finger, a magic finger)

It was a finger instead of a singer
(Magic finger, magic finger)
It was a finger instead of a song
(Magic finger, a magic finger)
It didn't stay too long


26.Judas Saves

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling, calling
Calling me

With a voice inside my head
He speaks to me and softly says
Perfection ends where life begins
But it can come back again

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling, calling
Calling me

Then He said if I could hide
My faith inside my broken pride
He would find complete success
Where innocence embraces death

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling, calling
Calling me

Now it is so clear
He must appear
To be betrayed
So we can be saved

No one can see clearly but me
I know I must answer the call
I know I must answer the call
I know I must answer the call
I know I must answer the call

Jesus loves me, this I know
'Cause the Christians told me so
Little minds to Him belong
Ye are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Christians told me


27.Burn, Baby, Burn

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I'm gonna die with no tears in my eyes
'Cause God digs my daddy
I'm gonna die with no tears in my eyes
'Cause God digs my daddy

God digs my daddy
God digs my daddy

His enemies died
When he lifted his knife
And said, 'Please let me win
And I'll send you a life'

So soon I will be burning for my
Soon I will be burning for my daddy
Ready to die but it seems to be odd
That bleeding is better than breathing to God

So soon I will be burning for my
Soon I will be burning for my daddy
God digs my daddy

So soon I will be burning for my
Soon I will be burning for my daddy
So soon I will be burning for my
Soon I will be burning for my daddy

So soon I will be burning for my
Soon I will be burning for my daddy


28.Dinah And The Unclean Skin

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

He murdered me
He murdered me
He took his tongue and touched it
And murdered me

I'm an old and lonely woman
Hating every other human
Nothing but my bitterness
Surrounds me

He murdered me
He made me lay
He murdered me
Down and display

He murdered me
My milky way
He murdered me
And kissed it

I'm an old and lonely woman
Hating every other human
Nothing but my bitterness
Surrounds me

He came asking for my hand
And was given this demand
You and all the other men
Must remove the unclean skin
From his penis

So they did
And then went to their beds and bled
Where my brothers cut their throats
Many empty nights ago

I am still that little girl
In the dark and dirty world
That was built so solidly
Around me


29.How To Get A Head

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

There were guys watching my body
There were guys watching my breasts
There were guys watching my body
I was excited, losing my breath

Why did I listen to mama?
Why did I listen to her?
Why did I listen to mama?
A head was only a word

Why do I look like a woman?
Why do I feel like a girl?
Why do I look like a woman?
I think about how his hair curled

It's a head without a body
It's a head without a neck, oh
It's a head without a body
I didn't know what to expect

The neckless head is always falling
And every time I close my eyes
And think about his empty eyeballs
Strangely staring at the sky

Unoccupied by life but calling
To the tears they cannot cry


30.Boo Who?

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Now there just is a cow
Where once was a calf
Now there just is a stare
Where once was a laugh

Now there just is a bone
Where once was a bath
Now a tinkery toy
Is an epitaph

A smile would make believe
That it had a friend
And tomorrow's name
Once never would end


31.Tourniquet Of Roses

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

The onion's in the fat
And the bacon's bought the bat
And the Posie's never even near the picture

Now where to went that rotten egg
For feelin' up my lover's leg
I'll boil him 'til the begs to be a breakfast

So I'm left all alone
Because my father fought the foam
And now I can't accept the pharmacy's prescription

So now there is a bank
Where once a summer spring reminded us
Of what we thought we ought to ding a ling

For ringing, ringing rockets
Roar a tub of a' lard today
And all that's left is something else
There is no more to say

Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say

Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now, is no more to say
Is no more to say now


32.Bossy

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Sat upon an empty box of
Cheerios and settled
Through the cracks of wooden floors
Forming little cone mountains

Fertile soil on which to rest
My dirty little white stone
With dimples to keep it from
Rolling down the dusty trail

Brought such straight rows
Like corn and peas
And foot caves in cold dirt
And the sore throat that follows

Everyone always knew
It ended this way
But I still don't understand
Why milking the cow didn't work

She was warm and had a rough
Muscular tongue for licking
Salt blocks and brown eyes like a cow
And her name was Bossy
We didn't eat her I don't think


33.Home Age Conversation

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Walking where the windy stops
The tops of trees are bare
Where'd you go, you didn't say
And I was so upset

And I saw the thousand motorcycles
As they made meat out of Mars
Way to go, you know the way
To San Jose in cars

Let the best of 'Wild Wild West'
Digest and have some tea


34.Blue Tongues

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I love you and 'cause I do
My skies have changed
From gray to blue
But blue's not just
A color of the rainbow

It's shade, is not a hazy hue
But pure and hard
My blue sky blue
It's like a Roman candle
Coming rosebuds

My words are empty, hollow, bleating
Of a mental crutch
They're open, festered, indigestion
With a velvet touch

A coma with a sweet aroma
Is my only dream
Malignant with the misconception
That a grunt can gleam

My lichen covered corpuscles
Are filthy as a fist
Infection is my finest flower
Mildewed in the mist

Infection is my finest flower
Mildewed in the mist
Infection, infection
Infection, infection

I love you and 'cause I do
My skies have changed
From gray to blue
But blue's not just
A color of the rainbow


35.Ghost Child

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

We're comin', help me
We're comin', I'm alone
We're comin', it's dark
We're comin', so dark
We're comin', I'm alone
We're comin', help me

No blood is spilled in
The land of lost children
But it is friendless
Empty and endless

She was neglected
But no one expected
She'd hold her breath for
Ever and ever

We're comin', help me
We're comin', I'm alone
We're comin', it's dark
We're comin', so dark
We're comin', I'm alone
We're comin', I'm lost


36.Kick A Picnic

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Afterwards, it's like a dream
You can't remember but it seems
To stay alive inside your mind
And pray upon your leisure time

It happens in an open spot
The air is sticky and it's hot
First they take away our clothes
Then they lay us down in rows

A cloud appears and melts away
The flesh of some while others stay
Machines that look like little cars
Consume the bones and count the scars

Kick a cat, a cat, a cat today
Fish are dumb, pluck an eye from one

Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?

We're in a place that no one knows
We are prisoners of those
No one sees and no one hears
But everybody hates and fears

Every day they leave a tray
And take an empty one away
On that tray are chicken legs
Potato salad and some eggs

Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?

Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?

Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?


37.Six Amber Things

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Life is just a situation
Life is just a game
Life is just a whirlpool
And I heard it call my name

Chew chew gum chew
Gum gum chew chew
Chew chew gum chew
Gum gum chew chew
Chew chew gum chew
Gum gum chew chew

Amber were the autumn leaves
Amber was her skin
Amber was the evening
When the whirlpool pulled her in

'It was irresistible'
Was what she used to say
Like the sound of running horses
Early in the day


38.Perfect Goat

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I've seen the golden goat
He would like to lick my throat
I know he's mean and poor
And he waits at my door

He's too weak to do me harm
But he has a big long arm
It fills my dreamy head
Then I shake and wet my bed

Well, there's something I must tell you
I need something I will swear

The only perfect love
Is the one that isn't there
Yeah, the only perfect love
Is the one that isn't there


39.Wolverines

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I didn't do it
So you'll let me leave, won't you?

Out of towners and their children
Watched us when we went to kill some
Wolverines who tried to hide
Their babies but the puppies cried

No one succeeds
If they scatter their seeds
Where the wind and the weeds
Are pleased

Then the children went to pet
The baby animals who bit their fingers
Causing blood to blow
Around like rosebuds in the snow

I didn't do it
So you'll let me leave, won't you?

No one succeeds
If they scatter their seeds
Where the wind and the weeds
Are pleased

No one succeeds
If they scatter their seeds
Where the wind and the weeds
Are pleased


40.Caring

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Once there were brothers who said that they loved her
Once there were brothers who worked at the zoo
Once there were brothers who said that they loved her
Once they petted her poodle named Pooh

Once there were two
(With claws un-retracted, a lion reacted)
Once there were two
(With claws un-retracted, a lion reacted)

Once there were two
(Because she was bothered)
Together at the zoo
(While feeding her daughter because she was bothered)
Petting her Pooh
(We buried my father)

Then there was one
(With my mother aching, his brother replaced him)
Then there was one
(With my mother aching, his brother replaced him)

Now there is nothing
(Until he was bitten, until he was bitten)
Now there is nothing
(Until he was bitten by an infected kitten)

Now there is nothing
(So mother retreated from a life that repeated)
Sound of nothing
(And said she was sorry)
And more nothing
(But the night is so starry)


41.Honey Bear

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Tell me why I am so scared

Tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me, I'm your honey bear
Tell me, tell me, I can be your cubby
Tell me I am your chocolate éclair
Tell me that you are somewhere above me
Tell me, tell me, and I won't be scared

Once I was a linebacker in college
Once they put my picture on the wall
Once I ate much more than I could swallow
Once I had so very far to fall
Once I had a father I could follow
Once he hardly hated me at all

Now I am an unemployed policeman
Now my pickup needs to be repaired
Now I wait for you to gag and grease me
Now I hope you'll hold me by the hair
Now I live in shadows of my dreams and
Want you to be humble honey bear


42.Mickey Macaroni

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Mickey Macaroni hardly ever eats meat
Mickey Macaroni doesn't even eat sweets
Mickey Macaroni never, never eats beets
Mickey Macaroni knows what he wants to eat

My hospital room is
Smelling bad but soon he's
Gonna take me home and
Play his saxophone and

Tell me if they broke up
When his girlfriend woke up
Screaming how she hated
Every guy she dated

I knew that he had slipped the
Minute daddy hit me
Now I'm sad and lonely
And want my macaroni


43.Mahogany Wood

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I wish I was bigger
I wish I was tall
I wish I had houses
Instead of this hall

Somebody put me
Inside it one day
I know who it is
But he won't let me say

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

He looks at me sometimes
And sometimes he knocks
On doorways beside me
And sometimes he rocks

Me to sleep in a chair
For he knows that I need
Affection as much
As a cut needs to bleed

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood


44.Melon Collie Lassie

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Boys from home forget to phone
And love is like a loan
Depending on the bending
And the mending of a moan

Melon Collie Lassie knows
The needs of new who come
To see the Zuider Zee
And then they float from one to some

Forever while she washes all
The clothes are never clean
And if you ask her where you are
It tends to make her mean


45.Blue Suede Shoes

Lyricist:Carl Perkins

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh, honey, lay off of them shoes

Burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh, honey, lay off of them shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes, no, no, no
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Knock me down, step on my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh, oh, honey, stay off of them shoes

Yeah, burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh, oh, honey, stay off of them shoes

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
No, no, don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Knock me down, step on my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh, baby, stay off of them shoes

Burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything, do anything
Do anything that you wanna do

Do anything, do anything
Do anything that you want to do
But, oh baby, stay off of my shoes


46.Fire Fall

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

I'm just an old man
How could I understand
I'm just an old man
How could I understand

I remember danger when the strangers came
They, they knew my name
They seemed to know my, my neighbors
So I gave them safety in my home

Then there was a, a pounding sound
And screaming voices all around
I offered them my, my daughters
Then a light, a light came from the, the strangers' skin
They said we had to go away
My wife was worried they, they

I'm just an old man
How could I understand, yes

Fire fell from the sky
And tears fell from my eyes
Fire fell from the sky
Tears fell, fell from my eyes

Turned to stone like a bone
Or maybe salt had hardened on her
I was lonely for my wife, oh
It only ever happened once or twice, yes

I'm just an old man
How could I understand, yes
I'm just an old man
Who just can't stand his memories


47.Tent Peg In The Temple

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

He's dead and naked
I'm naked too
He's dead and naked
At least I'm, I'm still wearing shoes

Once there was an ugly woman
Who was told to tell the truth
And so she said we needed fighters
Who were mean but mainly lighter

Than the metal war machinery
That was used to make us scream
And so we gathered up an army
And that was thin, but then a storm began

And it was really raining
Like some swollen lakes were draining
Into thunderclouds and breaking
As our enemies were waking

They were stuck like legless bugs there
In a mucky mire of mud where
They were stabbed and left to squirm
Like lost and lonely wiggle worms

He's dead and naked
I'm naked too
He's dead and naked
At least I'm still wearing shoes

He's dead and naked
I'm naked too
He's dead and naked
At least I'm still wearing shoes

Cautiously their leader ran
Until he saw me and my hand
Inviting him to come inside
My tent where he could safely hide

He was shivering and wet
And so I said that I would get some clothes
But then his tender eyes
Reached out and made me recognize

This vile and evil enemy
As someone soft and even sweet
Confused, I said he needed rest
But then somehow we were undressed

I said I heard someone outside
And rolled him in a rug and cried
I drove a tent stake in his head
And continued crying as he bled


48.You Yesyesyes

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

You yesyesyes, yesyesyes you
You yesyesyes, yesyesyes you
You yesyesyes, yesyesyes you


49.Walter Westinghouse

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Walter Westinghouse went to town
He found a friend today
His friend was peeling ceiling wax as
He heard Walter say

Love me tender, love me sweet
Love me like I love my feet
Sit me down with Ezra Pound
But don't forget to eat

Or cause a country boy to cook
A carrot or a cake
But don't forget the feelings
Of a friend are hard to fake

He lives a life of April leaves
Respondent to the thought that
Often things you caught or bought
Were not the ones you sought

Now his December is a sender
Singing songs he knows
But all the words are cheese and please
And boy, I hope it snows

He buys the bacon and the achin'
In his heart is due
To overcoats and Quaker Oats
And if his wife should sue

Wanda, Wanda where you went and
Tell me what'd you take?
I took the tongue of Philip Jung
And left it in the lake

But my dear I think I fear
That you had lost your way
'Cause scrambled eggs, 'cause scrambled eggs
Were all he'd let me bake

He said, 'Your trust is like a crust
Too brittle and too thin'
I said, â½You're full of nigger nuts
And look like Rin Tin Tinâ

Is common ground not ever found
But flees from dad to son
Or is it just believing that the
Evening steals the sun?

I said, â½Your snoot is full of poot
And should be in a shoeâ
And then I said your stupid bed
Is better off than you

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell
Huh, what's that, dear? Huh?

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Yes, eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

Eat exuding oinks upon
And bleed decrepit broken bones
At caustic spells of hell

And he sees the threads of worn out treads
And calls his color true and calls his color true
And calls his color true and calls his color true
And calls his color true and calls his color true
And calls his color true and calls his color true


50.Neediness

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Please, please, oh please
Won't you help me?
Please help me
Won't you help me?
There's something that I need

I once made friends
With an other
A brother and a rudder
A lover of my needs

We found the beauty
Of darkness, apartness
And the heartless
Arabesque of need

I know nothing
Is ever lying or crying
Or denying
If its needs are pleased

Please, please, oh please
Let me help you, I'll help you
Can I help you?
I know just what you need


51.Heartbreak Hotel

Lyricist:Mae Axton, Tommy Durden, Elvis Presley

Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel

Well, I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die

Oh, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so
They'll be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die

Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they been so long on lonely street
They'll never ever look back

And it's so
Well, it's so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
Well, they're so lonely, they could've died

Well, if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel

Where you will be
You'll be so lonely, baby
Well you'll be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

Oh, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They've been so
They're be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die


52.Spotted Pinto Bean

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Spotted Pinto Bean is leaving
Leaving on a midnight streaming

Tears behind him all the way
And all the way arms are folding

Handkerchiefs to pockets holding
Holding yesterday


53.Picnic In The Jungle

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Afterwards, it's like a dream
You can't remember but it seems
To stay alive inside your mind
And prey upon your leisure time

It happens in an open spot
The air is sticky and it's hot
First they take away our clothes
Then they lay us down in rows

A cloud appears and melts away
The flesh of some while others stay
Machines that look like little cars
Consume the bones and count the scars

In a place that no one knows
We are prisoners of those
That no one sees and no one hears
But everybody hates and fears

Every day they leave a tray
And take an empty one away
On the tray are chicken legs
Potato salad and some eggs


54.He Also Serves

Lyricist:Homer Flynn, Hardy Winfred Fox

Come and see the holy twosome
They can heal and they can do some
Things that no one ever did before
He really loved them, he really cared

Silently I stood between them
Holding up the crimson gleaming
Circle with its ends not quite in line
And then I lifted up the cover

Softly like it was my lover
And I felt them shudder as they sighed
As I clamped the metal on it
Something like a liquid donut

Shimmered by the holy union side
Then the people screamed and shouted
As the donut grew and sprouted
Little bitty dust balls made of fire

And then these soon enough descended
Down the lines that finally ended
At the screams and unbelieving cries

For soon the cripples would be walking
And the dummies would be talking
But no one knew exactly how or why


55.Big Hunk O' Love

Lyricist:Arron Schroeder, Sid Wyche

Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you
No, no, no, baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big, big, big hunk o' love will do

You're just a stingy little mama
Tryin' to starve me half to death
Well, you can spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left

Oh baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big, big, big hunk o' love will do

You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
Well, I ain't greedy, baby
All I want is all you've got

Oh baby, I ain't askin' much of you, no
Just a big, big, big hunk o' love will do

I got a wishbone in my pocket
And a rabbit's foot 'round my wrist
Well, I'd have everything
My lucky charms could bring
If you'd give me just one sweet kiss

Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big, big, big hunk o' love will do
Just a big hunk o' love's gonna do
Just a big hunk o' love will do


56.The Observer

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

I'm a tired old man in a tired old land
Watching shadows moving across the sand
Now they move at night and I understand
That they cannot see more than they can stand

I have been deceived, I have murdered
And I have seen the soul of an unborn lamb
It can burn a hole in a guilty man
But it cannot stand in a distant land


57.It Never Stops

Lyricist:Fernando Araujo, Gil Do Carmo

There is no home where we reside
If there is nothing down deep inside
Except a serpent sitting
Beside a promise of nothing except suicide

I have been told, deep in my dreams
That there is hope and that it seems
All that we seek was seen by the sea
Yes, safety and comfort do dwell by the sea


58.Bach Is Dead

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Walking women want to see
The Southern Cross at night
And so they set aside a sock
And tie their laces tight

Yes, mournful is the melody
That echoes in their heads
Without a beat, they march along
Believing Bach is dead


59.His Latest Flame

Lyricist:Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman

Some kind old friend came by today
And he'd been telling everyone in town
Of the love that he had found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled deep down inside I was hurting
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He walked away but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
That she'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame

He said I had the longest, blackest hair
Prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame
Yeah, Marie's the name of my eternal flame


60.Life Would Be Wonderful

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful

If I was a little taller
If I was not quite so old
If my raincoat had a collar
To help me keep away the cold

If my little mouse named Norman
Was still alive inside the sock
He used to keep himself so cozy
Inside his little cardboard box

If I had a nice location
To sit where people passing by
Looked like they were on vacation
And helped me buy some pecan pie

If I could afford a breakfast
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg

If there was an open doorway
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time
Life would be wonderful


61.Everyone Comes To The Freak Show

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Step right up and you will see on display
A collection of some of the strangest specimens
Ever gathered together, both live and preserved

You will see the incredible Jello Jack
The boneless boy and Herman The Human Mole
You'll see Wanda The Worm Woman
And Mickey The Mumbling Midget
With his secret from far beyond the realm
Of human understanding

There's also Benny, bouncing Benny The Bump
Who can't wait to show you the eerie and shapeless mass
Which he hides beneath his shirt
And shows only when he does his famous dance
The Bouncing Bump

So, step this way, folks come on in, you know you can't resist
Come in and make your mundane lives look like the kiss of bliss
Everyone comes to the Freak Show, to laugh at the freaks and the
geeks
Everyone comes to the Freak Show but nobody laughs when they
leave

Once a man exploded just before he went to sleep
When his wife awoke she found some fragments of his feet
She wondered what had happened but there was no mouth to say
Or lips to kiss or even any tears to wipe away

She went to see a priest and asked if death could be much worse
Than knowing what was left of love would fit inside her purse
Someone said that nothing hurts you, like a vice without a
virtue
That may be but is it worse than life when it becomes so certain
That your eyes cannot be open, to the twisted and the broken?


62.The Weatherman

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

I was watching Ivanhoe
When they said the tornado
Blew your big old house apart
Robert Taylor was the star

You never knew why I was blue
So I went to a movie after you
Spread out on your feather bed
With weather maps you never read

You said the east was freezing but
The clouds were insignificant
I never knew what made you speak
Of sleet between your satin sheets

You're always calling me
But I'm never needed
I'm needy, I'm needy
I'm needing a new home

A fall in Philadelphia
When you were much healthier
Obstructed your recovery
As yellow leaves fell from the trees


63.Epilogue

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

The son of the known thing flew into today
He left in a hurry, had little to say
But for the barking sub side in his wake
He helped out with vestiges sweeter than cake

Opulent givings are seldom a dread
They help you relieve all them lies in your head
But for the giving begets a sure vain
Leave open a window and let in some rain


64.The Electrocutioner

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Time for all the followers of doom
Is drawin' near
Deceiving no one knowing nothing
But the bite of fear

Smiling as I throw the switch
That takes away their breath
I see life as an interruption
To the tune of death

She is the electrocutioner
She is the electrocutioner

Playin' with my birds
I wonder how the world could be
A perfect place to sin about
For anyone but me

I see the shimmer of the dewdrops
As I drink my tea
And when the foolishness is over
I am much more me

I wish that all the suffering
And all the misery
Could be consumed inside my room
Where switches set you free


65.Wanda:The Worm Woman

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Sneering at the leering lady
As she stares and squirms
At Wanda with her saintly smile
And living wig of worms

I like to watch their faces fall
As we disgust and shame them
Seeking suckers is my game
No longer lion taming

Like a pink and pregnant pumpkin
Perched upon her neck
Wanda Wadkins head was hurting
It was bitten by insects

I watched the awkward way she waddled
Walking to the pail
She always used to wash her worms
And clean beneath her nails

I love the should I see inside her
But I just can't love her
Folding fat that rolls around
Like bowling balls in butter

Wanda, Wanda, Wanda
Watch me, watch me, watch me
Won't you watch me for a while
Watch me pick my worms up
And put them in a pile

Watch me sit upon it with
My Mona Lisa smile
Why Wanda why
Do I always watch you cry?


66.Nobody Laughs When They Leave

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Everyone comes the to freak show
To laugh at the freaks and the geeks
Everyone comes the to freak show
But nobody laughs when they leave

We are only equal
In the grave and in the dark
Said a man whose head
Was halfway eaten by a shark

Now if you ask me why
I would continue on like this
I doubt that I would know so
I could only make a guess
Half a mouth may not be much
But it's still half a kiss

Everyone comes the to freak show
To laugh at the freaks and the geeks
Everyone comes the to freak show
But nobody laughs when they leave


67.Elvis And His Boss

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Oh, I'm gonna be my baby, baby
Baby, but you see

My Mamma said
My Mamma said
My Mamma said to me
'My son I see the Sunset lies
About a baby bee'

So if you see me
I'll be standing
Out on ole Broadway
Amused, abused
But not confused

I'm making my own way
Straight to the top
I'll never stop
I'll die before my day


68.All Shook Up

Lyricist:Otis Blackwell, Elvis Presley

Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love, I'm all shook up, oh, yeah, yeah

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love, I'm all shook up, oh, yeah, yeah, oh

Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm with the girl that I love best
My heart beats so, it scares me to death

She touched my hand, what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up, oh, yeah, yeah

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides jiggle like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
To have that girl that I love so fine

She touched my hand, what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, ah, yeah, yeah, I'm all shook up
I'm all shook up, I'm all shook up
I'm all shook up, I'm all shook up


69.Sinister Exaggerator

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Your life is leaning downhill
Sloping off the outer edge
Your undetermined oyster beds
Were found to be a hedge

You case the kids of Elmer Fudd
To feed the farmer whose
Cadaver's filled with onion rings
And feet are filled with glue

Now sinister exaggerator
What's your claim to fame?
Is still your favorite Ferlinghetti
Found in Auntie Maim?

Your alter life is superseded
Only from above
Your heart is like a silken sponge
That calls saliva love


70.Harry The Head

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

The head was hardly human
The head is finally dead
'I can live forever in formaldehyde'
He said

Once he made me so mad
I knocked him on the floor
He rolled around and found
A little paint brush by the door

As he held it in his teeth
He painted angels on the skirt I wore
Harry, Harry
Harry

Harry the head is dead
Harry the head is dead
Harry the head is dead


71.Hello Skinny

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Skinny was born in a bathtub
And grew so incredibly thin
That even the end of an eyedropper
Sucked him in

Skinny never knew any questions
And Skinny never looked at lights
But Skinny sold something
Every single night

Skinny sold a soldier to me
Skinny sold a wife
Skinny sold a suction cup
And a knife

Skinny found a 'Hello Dolly'
Record in the hall
He sold it to a truck driver
In the fall


72.Die In Terror

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

She said she wished to die in terror
Screaming in the night
To feel the crawling flesh of panic
As her hair turned white

She also had a pretty little
See through negligee
I often wonder where she went
And if she got her way


73.Laughing Song

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

An oily, ole egg with a red, peg leg
Thought a porcupine was his daughter
But he soon found out that she had the gout
And she often would wink underwater

A red, red rose saw a big, pig pose
On the edge of a silver dollar
The end of his tail was a long necked nail
In place of his face was a scholar


74.Birthday Boy

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Birthday boy
Bulging eyes abound about
The birthday boy today
Screaming, 'Creaming eyes'
Screamed he
His mother looked away

'Creaming eyes explode upon
An apple pirate toad
And if an injun ate a plate
I'd laugh and live abode'

Nervousness itself was shifting
Guests against the door
'Forgive us dear, but, uh, baking beer
It what we should be near'

'Bye,' the bothered birthday boy said
'Bye,' the bothered birthday boy said
'Bye or sell or bye
Bye or sell or bye'

'Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me he-he-hee
Happy birthday to me


75.Shorty's Lament

Lyricist:Homer Flynn Iii, Hardy Winfred Fox

Once, there was a Willie and he could see
That there was a Shorty and he could see
You could, you could tell that Shorty
Wouldn't always be short, so he said

'Protect yourself, Shorty, protect yourself'
Once the fever finds your soul
Something else will take control
Something dark and from a bowl
Something says to me

But it can be indiscreet
And you tend to overheat
O'er the taste of soft and sweet
Something says to me

What can you do when something falls?
Walls close from somewhere, close from nowhere, like eyes
Can't, can't think clearly, I can't think
But I can't think clearly

Believe maybe you can, maybe you can help me
Bill, no, Willie, Willie, can you, doggone it, can you, Bill?
Can you, Will? Maybe Jay? No, no, he's, bye, Jay, bye

I've got this light behind my eyes
And believe me, it tells me what, what to do
But I doubt it, it says that if you can't win
Then there's no way you can lose

If nature hates both a vacuum then the vacuum cleaner too
Then it laughs, I don't know what this means
What can I do? I don't know

Love is, love is, love is, ahh
Love is, love is, love is, ahh
Love is, love is, love is, ahh

Love is expectation
Love is explanation
Love is exploitation, ahh

Somebody's getting somebody happy
Love is complication
Love is consummation
Love is concentration, ahh

Oh, goddamn it, I can't
Love is obligation
Love is insulation
Love is stimulation, ahh

It's always, 'have a good weekend'
Love is ruination
Love is accusation
Love is navigation, ahhh

Is anybody, is anybody driving?
Someone's gotta be, somebody driving?
I can't drive, I'm not, is anybody driving?

Somebody must be driving
Is anybody, is anybody driving?
Is anybody driving at all?


76.Act Of Being Polite

I found her crying in the morning
Sitting in a chair
She was wrapping something up
And wrapping it with care

I did not mean to hurt her
When I fell asleep last night
I was just exhausted
From the act of being polite

Yes, I was just exhausted
From the act of being polite


77.Tragic Bells

Tragic bells are ringing
For me
Tragic bells are ringing
In my ear again

And I don't know why
I'm going on


78.Handful Of Desire

Sinews crackled in the heat
Of noonday raptured thrill

A moisture laden syncopated
Automated thrill

A handful of desirous needs
That's much too soon fulfilled


79.Birds In The Trees

Birds in the trees
Shook dust from their wings

I thought of the heartaches
That shattered
Our love not long ago

Birds in the trees
Now asleep


80.Elmer's Song

Leave your burdens behind
Leave your burdens behind
Let your spirit be free from gravity
Leave your burdens behind

God is waiting for you
God is waiting for you
There's no need to be
In uncertainty
God is waiting for you

Once I was exactly like you
An empty vessel on full view
I thought that there was no other way
I thought the thoughts you think today

My wife was sinister and unclean
My children were morose and mean
My discontentment was so complete
My mind retreated into sleep

Love will live in repose
Love will live in repose
Let your leisure zone
Be your cornerstone
Love will live in repose

But soon a voice inside of a dream
Said, 'Son you can become My Cream'
With words that echoed in me, God said
'White people should remain in bed'

Take a load off your feet
Take a load off your feet
Turn your misery into ecstasy
Take a load off your feet

We will give it to you
We will give it to you
Sleep is purified
Sweet and sanctified
So we'll give it to you


81.Two Lips

Oh, we have to buy a tulip
Yes, we have to buy a tulip
Oh, we have to buy a tulip
So we'll sell our home

We will sell our clothes
And we'll sell our shoes
Everything we own
We'll sell to you

My doctor bought a tulip
And my banker bought a tulip
And my lawyer bought a tulip

So I'll buy one, too
Maybe I'll buy ten
Maybe I'll buy more
All my friends scored
Tulips galore

Yes, we have to buy
No, we don't know why
Yes, we'll buy or die
Yes, we have to buy

No, we don't know why
Yes, we'll buy or die
No, we don't know why
Yes, we'll buy or die

Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?

You can pick and choose
I have sold my wife
And my children, too
I have nothing but tulips to lose

Yes, we have to buy
No, we don't know why
Yes, we'll buy or die


82.Secrets

Something's going on between them
Something I can see
Nobody seems to pay attention
So it's up to me

They're always touching
Always looking in a secret way
I thought that I might cut them deep


83.Dimples And Toes

She is unhappy and even unkind
She would not listen but I do not mind
Kissing her dimples and touching her toes

She is attractive but very restrained
Slightly because of worry and strain
I was her father a long time ago
Kissing her dimples and touching her toes


84.Amber

Life is just a situation
Life is just a game
Life is just a whirlpool
And it's calling out my name

Amber were the autumn leaves
And amber was her skin
Amber was the evening
When the whirlpool pulled her in

It was irresistible
Was what she used to say
Like the sound of running horses
Early in the day


85.Easter Woman

Down, deep down
I'm down, down down
Down, deep down
I'm down, way down

Easter woman came today
And took away my wife
Took her through an open doorway
To the afterlife


86.Nice Old Man

Something smiling sweetly
Something tall and thin
Something deep within my heart
Reminded me of him

He was not my lover
He was not my friend
He was just a nice old man
Who played the violin


87.Possessions

Some are
Into silver
Some are
Into gold

Some are
Into having
Something
Nice to hold


88.Suburban Bathers

Suburban bathers own the sea
But just between you and me
The sun has never fully set
That's seen the bathers fully wet

I see the sea
The sea sees me

They seem to run to morning light
And crash the boards between the night
If they'd learn to love themselves
They might survive the murky depths

I see the sea
The sea sees me

If I'd learn to love myself
I might survive the murky depths


89.Loss Of Innocence

Amusement parks are caked with sounds
A solid hunk of meat
A barker's sweat flings from his tongue
His tattoo shines with heat

A wary stranger stands and sways
Enraptured by his stance
Two-headed goats come stumbling by
And give a troubled glance

The barker looks into the eyes
The stranger tries to bend
The barker swears to more delights
For all who seek within

The stranger enters canvas doors
And smells the fresh cut hay
The barker points to Siamese twins
The stranger looks away

The eyes of horse-faced women
Watch the few who wander through
They sense the tension in the air
And smell the sweet taboo

A heart beats fast against a chest
The stranger leaves the tent
The waves of people drown the sounds
Of loss of innocence


90.The Monkey Man

I see him when I'm dreaming
His teeth are white and bare
He's riding on a stallion
The wind is in his hair

If he were made of china
He's have a special stand
Beside my china ponies
I love the monkey man

I wake up every morning
And smell his golden hair
He stands outside my window
And watches me with care

He smiles at all my ponies
And dances when he can
I'll look for him tomorrow
I love the monkey man

Monkey man
Monkey man
Monkey man
Monkey man


91.Ups And Downs

She was opening up an elevator on a rainy day
Sitting on a little stool and looking far away
I asked if she would take me to another floor
She laughed and said she probably would
And then she closed the door

Possessions
Some are into silver
Some are into gold
Some are into having
Something nice to hold

Give it to someone else
I wanted to give it to someone else
And hear what they would say
I wanted to give it to someone else
And watch them as they played

I left it helpless all alone
And waiting on the floor
Squirming just a little bit
And looking at the door

He would take it as he wished
And I would listen in
Documenting as I would
The sound of slapping skin


92.Mother No More

I will never hear you in the morning
No, I will never hear your voice again
You will never say that you love the little cakes
That I bake so early in the morning
No, I will never hear it again

She'll never hear him in the evening
No, she will never hear his voice again
He will never say, 'It's my favorite time of day'
When the sun is setting in the evening
No, she will never hear it again

But I know I'll hear you when it's late at night
And you're sleeping in your room again
You will dream of the faraway wickedness of war
And I'll hear you sobbing after midnight
No, you will not say 'Mother' again
No, you won't say 'Mother' again


93.Love Is...

Love is only loneliness
Divided by another
Love is only living
For the lonely

Love is only loneliness
Divided by another
And I know that
Life is lonely


94.Give It To Someone Else

I wanted to give it to someone else
And hear what they would say
I wanted to give it to someone else
And watch them as they played

I left it helpless all alone
And waiting on the floor
Squirming just a little bit
And looking at the door

He would take it as he wished
And I would listen in
Documenting as I would
The sound of slapping skin


95.Picnic Boy

She called my friend a picnic boy
I never could stand that
Oh, she called my friend a picnic boy
And said he was too fat

I left her in the early morning
Looking at the rain
I found I could not take the pressure
So I took the train


96.Red Rider

Cellar doors were open
For the storms were out that night
The night reflected from the leaves
The sky was still too bright

I saw her passing as the wind
Was rising in the air
She rode upon a red bicycle
And she had red hair


97.Olive And Gray

He wasn't dreaming
When he started screaming
'He touched my penis
And it went away'

Removing his pants
He held in his hand
The shriveled up gland
He said was a fake

He silently traded
Mine for this hated
Lump that is shaded
Olive and gray

Pointing his finger
Right at the stranger
He said that the danger
Will escalate

Unless we kill it
Torture and spill its
Blood without guilt
It won't go away

The stranger was shocked when
Rocks began flocking
Around him knocking
His senses away

Like a mad hound he
Was pounded and pounded
'Til he was dead


98.What Have My Chickens Done Now?

What have my chickens done now?

She took a mouse out of a pouch
And made me put it in my mouth

We call out her name
And beg for a shaming

She made me spit and shake and scream
She made me make myself unclean

She calls out my name
But I'm not to blame but
Maybe my chickens know how
I don't know why she told on me
I'm sick and sad and eighty three

I knew when I named her
The devil had claimed her

It must be my chickens somehow

They accused my daughter and
Scratched her on the face and hand

They bite their tongues and bear their teeth
Then they scratch me til I bleed

As long as she remains
We will keep her in pain

I know her chickens are foul

I know I'm not to blame
But I'm tired of the bloodstains
I have to find a way out
Under stress I did confess
Just to make them stop, I guess
What can my chickens do now?

We knew if named her
God would not claim her

My pain was in vain
For they were all against me

Around her neck they tied a noose
And they killed her family too

Only her chickens know now


99.My Work Is So Behind

Smoke was feeling up the house
A burning yearning heat
The cats were looking through the haze
And licking at their feet
They were licking at their feet

A caller came and looked at me
And asked me if I'd mind
I said I would not normally
My work is so behind
I'm just way behind

The fire it sparkled in his smile
And then beneath his skin
And so he jumped right in, right in
And so he jumped right in


100.Mr. Misery

Jeremiah, lamentations
They call me Mister Misery
They laugh and dump decay on me

He let them throw me in a pit
Full of angry spite and spit
With wasted flesh and broken bones
God has left me all alone

He made me Mister Misery
I don't know why He's mad at me
He made me Mister Misery
I don't know why He's mad at me

He hates my hands, He hates my skin
He hates the smell upon my chin
But He still shines His light on me
With love disguised as agony

I beg for pain but not for death
His hatred fills my emptiness


101.Troubled Man

His wife had left him long ago
For someone without skin
And now he faced the mirror
And he saw a doubled chin

He was having trouble
And he'd had it for a while
His doctor died a year ago
She was his only child


102.The Nameless Souls

She was just uncaring
She was just untrue
She was just indifferent
What else could she do?

I was just a stranger
I was just subdued
I was just uneasy
What else could I do?

We were just the nameless
Souls that sit inside
Wishing that we were
Someone on the outside

Wishing that we were
The ones on the outside
Wishing that we weren't
The ones who were stuck


103.End Of Home

Darkness fell upon the garden
As I sadly sat alone
Dreaming of the end of summer
And again the end of home

Our love was like a flowing river
Deeper still than what it seemed
It consumed my waking hours
Creeping deep into my dreams


104.Moisture

Someone saw a strange amount
Of moisture on her lips
And it was also seen
Upon her arms and on her hips

No one knows exactly
Who she was or how she died
But when they opened up her purse
They found a snail inside


105.Dead Men

Dead men are staring up at angels
Dead men are staring at the ground
Dead men have little inspiration

Dead men just like to lie around
Dead men were reaching out to glory
But nothingness is all they found

Heroes always go to heaven
Heroes never die in vain
Heroes always speak the truth and
Heroes never explain

Dead men are only in the way
Dead men are only in the way
Dead men are only in the way
Dead men are only in the way


106.Less Not More

The railings of the bridge
Were moving by the glass
The opportunity to leave
Was coming up fast

The situation passed across my
Mind once more
And I decided that I needed
Less not more, less not more
Less not more


107.Burn My Bones

Sleeping deeply in the blood
It turns my memories to mud
And gnaws inside me like a dog
Whose leg is caught beneath a log

It eats itself until it's free
But I'll eat them, instead of me

Hunger, anger
Hunger, anger
Hunger, anger
Hunger, anger

Please somebody, burn my bones
Please somebody, burn my bones
Please somebody, burn my bones
And leave the ashes in the snow


108.The Whispering Boys

The whispering boys will not go away
The whispering boys have nothing to say
But they scream and they cry
And they run and they hide from their bodies

The whispering boys have answered the call
The whispering boys surrender their all
To the blame and the blood of an albino dove
Made of love

The whispering boys are perfect and pure
The whispering boys are sacred and sure
And sometimes they are known
To take children whose homes are unknown

The whispering boys, they stay out of sight
The whispering boys, they meet late at night
But they bond to their fate
And they're saved, when they self mutilate


109.Fingertips

Something faintly emanating
Perfume and decay
Whispered lightly in the wind
That she had got away

Longing for the touch of something
Soft upon my face
I thought about her fingertips
And not her lack of grace


110.Margaret Freeman

Margaret Freeman had a body
Unlike any I'd seen
It seemed to drip her mental thoughts
Like much too warm ice cream

One day while she washed the dishes
In the nude, I saw
How her mother's sodden ways
Had rubbed her rib cage raw


111.Perfect Love

There's something
I must tell you
There's something
I must say

The only
Really perfect love
Is one
That gets away


112.Loneliness

I came upon it in the night
And left it in the rain
And from that moment to today
I've never been the same

I knew not what the weather meant
When he said goodbye
I only know this loneliness
Will never make me cry

Make me cry


113.Bury Me Not

'Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie'
These words came slow and mournfully
From the bleedin' lips of the youth who lay
On his dyin' bed at the close of day

He moaned in pain while over his head
The shadows of death grew thick like lead
He thought of his home and family that night
As the cowboys gathered to watch him die

'Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the wild coyotes howl over me
In a narrow grave, just six by three
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie'

'In dreams I've listened to the well-known words
Of the wild prairie winds and the songs of birds
I think of the table where my mama put flowers
And the scenes I loved in those long lost hours'

'It matters not I've often been told
Where the body lies when the heart grows cold
Oh grant, oh grant this wish to me
And bury me not on the lone prairie'

'I've always wished to be laid when I died
In a little churchyard on the green hillside
By my mama's grave please let mine be
And bury me not on the lone prairie'

'Oh, bury me not', and his voice stopped there
But we took no heed of his dyin' prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie


114.N-Er-Gee (Crisis Blues)

The, the
The end of the rainbow
Is a speedin' up news

But the, the
The knot in the
The fuse

Is the speed that
That you lose?

Go home America
Fifty-five'll do
Go home America


115.Guylum Bardot

The love that we've been through
Was splintered and sent to
The end of the rainbow today
Now that it's over

The grass and the clover
Grow over
The ground where I lay

Come back, Petonia
Come back I say
Come back, Petonia

I'm hopin' soon y'all
Come back, I pray
Be with me to stay

I'm hopin' soon y'all
Be with me to stay


116.Seasoned Greetings

Merry Christmas, Mom
Merry Christmas, Dad
Merry Christmas, Sis
I love you

Uh, uh, it's Christmas
But, but there ain't nobody
Raisin' much of a fuss
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Ain't nobody raisin' no fuss
Nobody but me


117.Skratz

The bedposts are cool to the touch
The sheets are crumpled into an Oldenburg
Three hairs rolled over his undershirt
A spare tire rolled under his over shirt

But scratz, scratz, scratz, scratz
(Dirty fingernail)
Ollie wasn't young like he was last night
Scratz, scratz, scratz, scratz
(Dirty fingernails)

The sheets still showed the yellow spot
Ann ran her tongue along the ridges by the Gulf
Thoughts slipped into valleys

Concealed by dense Mexicali underbush hair
A flag ran up his pole
And waved firmness with wings

But scratz, scratz, scratz, scratz
(Dirty fingernails)
Ollie wasn't at all as young like he was last night
Scratz, scratz, scratz, scratz
(Dirty fingernails)
The sheets still showed the yellow spot
