Book of Revelation
My foundation ever unshaken
nothing but life and devastation
being so together it seemed whatever
'till I read your book of revelation
probably I'd be much better off not knowing
but you were so sloppy now your slip is showing
dangerous and jaded self-perpetuated cute but over-rated
you'd do everything just to look distracted
never unattractive but overacted
it didn't fall apart till I put it together
then just a paragraph changed my life forever
when you know the ending open wide and read it
how you made your bed and now you have to eat it
now I get to keep it all I ever needed
so why do I still feel cheated?
I can't believe my eyes what I saw last night
what I know today book of revelation
So now you finally go to say
that you really felt that way
and it hit me pretty hard.
And though we've carried it so far
I know that's the way things are today
that's the way they are
I can't make up my mind
what I must decide
what I have to say

What Do You Want?
I'll be your codependent
you're my cute little enabler
together we'll get set to kill
and cry about it later
and I say lather rince repeat
this is my philosophy
change my mind my brain is smoking
can't live without my remote control
remote control
What do you want?
It's too complicated
what do you mean?
it's too hard to state it
what do you do?
it's not what but whether
who do you love?
I'm in love with leather
so call me kid compulsive
cause I'm crawling on the concrete
and meet me at the laundromat
that's where I do my laundry
and I will be so glad you came
cause danger is my middle name
there's always something going on
until it sort of grinds to a halt
what do you want?
I don't know what is it
what do you need?
I just need a minute
what will it take?
it will take forever
who do you love?
I'm in love with lethargy
now sit right back
and you'll hear a tale
of all my twisted motives
of coffee jolt and classic coke
and delicious blue cream sodas
blue cream soda brings a smile
and that's what makes it all worthwhile
there's something more important somewhere
but blue cream soda sure is up there
what do you want?
that's for me to know and you to find out
and that's where I'm going
what will it take?
it will take forever
who do you love?
I'm in love with leather
what do you want?
what do you mean?
what will you do?
it's not what but whether
who do you love?
I'm in love with lethargy

Ready Set Go
I want to tell you about her
she's a beautiful gecko
she's crawling out on the counter
when I say ready set go
say ready set go
say ready set go
O! beautiful gecko.
Now I'm a man with a mission
and it's the normal progression
starts with love and affection,
goes on to sick obsession
to sick obsession
from love and affection
and it never will be the same
everything will be great from now on
cause she's got everything in her cage
and I've been waiting for so long.
And when I give her a cricket
and introduce her to my heart
we'll be watching our eyes glow
in flagrante delicto
not gonna let go
when I say ready set go

Two-Minute Itch
I live in a little hole
with a color tv and remote control
and it gets to me
forget the difference between
the screen and me
and me and the screen
I think of you
when I'm watching channel two
but it takes too long
to find out there's nothing going on
so better do it baby
as fast as you can
cause I've got a ten second
attention span
if I could get your skull
in my vertical hold
if I could get my pause
on your scenes from our last show
I think of you
when I'm watching channel two
then you start fading
and I get so sick of waiting
baby baby baby baby baby
two minute itch
two minute itch yeah
now listen to this
and it's tough to turn away
we set things up
but the set won't stay
nothing now can make me change.
I got a handgun for twenty bucks
from an offer on the back of a cereal box
it's got a smurf trigger the bullets are blue
I hope I don't have to use it on you
I know I'm crazy
but I just want something to happen baby
I think of you
cause what else am I supposed to do

There's Something Wrong With Me
At the age of six or seven I was in my prime
and ever since that time it's been a steady decline
I had the brains I had the power had the building blocks
and no, I don't want to have one of our "little talks"
I'm looking back now
losing track now
thinking out loud
why won't you back down
so I'm going through a period of question marks
and I know that you're so glad you're doing your part
you're saying if I play my cards right and work hard each day
they just might make me an honorary human someday
one reflection
three dimensions
two no votes and one abstention
there's something wrong with me
and I hear it in the way
you say no really it's ok
you say there's something wrong with me
I know so go away
you'd better get away.
I'd like to tell you how I'm doing every now and then
but then it's deja vu all over again
and when you lose your equilibrium it's so messed up
you've got no more equilibrium
there's something wrong with me
and if you won't play along with me
there's no telling what I'll do
there's something wrong with me
it's pointing right at you
it's gonna follow you

Master of the Situation
The master of the situation
he's impatient concentration
disaster hesitation
what's the answer
I can't remember
the answer will follow
will last until tomorrow
but I know my position
so cancel my subscription
the master of the situation
is losing his patience
he's losing his cool
you say you're back in the saddle
but you're coming unraveled
you're out of control
there are no stupid questions
just stupid people
disconnections
and you're kind of sort of
almost nearly on the border
but I know what you're doing
you'll run until you're ruined
and I know your answer
you'll say it doesn't matter
you're going faster and faster
it's total disaster
you'll see what you find
because you've got a good reason
for feeling uneasy
and shaking inside
if I only had some time to think
I could plot a course of action
too late I can't concentrate
today
the master of the situation
the whole operation
blew up in your face
and you need a vacation
you're out of the race
and you're taking up space

What Difference Does It Make?
Originally by The Smiths
All men have secrets and here is mine
so let it be known
for we have been through hell and high tide,
I can surely rely on you?
and yet you start to recoil,
heavy words are so lightly thrown
but still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So, what difference does it make?
so, what difference does it make?
it makes none
but now you have gone
and you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why?
because you asked me to
but now you make me feel so ashamed
because I've only go two hands
well, I'm still fond of you
So, what difference does it make?
oh what difference does it make?
it makes none
but now you have gone
and your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and then I lied just because you asked me to
But you know the true about me
you won't see me anymore
but I'm still fond of you
But no more apologies
no more apologies
I'm too tired
I'm so very tired
and I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you

Last Time I Listened To You
Last time I listened to you I almost wound up dead
you said things would get better but it hasn't happened yet
and when I look at your picture I can't believe it's true
so that's the last time I listen to you
so I'm gonna get trashed and I might just get a gun
just to show you I'm desperate and to keep you hanging on
you say it would have succeeded without those meddling kids
but I'm not gonna listen to this
and I know I got carried away and they might have to amputate
and it's all gonna show the day the music choked
it's gonna be sad and youre gonna get upset
you'll be checking the papers and you'll wonder where I went
dialing 900 numbers for something new to do
'cause that's the last time I'll listen to you

Love American Style
You're an anomaly
that's a thing without a name
you're worming it out of me
and this worm you cannot change
I want to drive you up the wall
I want to treat you like a doll
I want to write it out in blood
I want an oriental rug
On a star spangled night my love
you can rest your head on my shoulder
and by the dawn's early light my love
I will defend your right to cry
I want to be there at your trial
I want a love american style
cause I'm a former young American
and I don't know if it's real or re-run
there's something you ought to know
before you think you understand
I'm invisible
and I've got a robot friend
I want to tie you to a post
I want to make you tea and toast
I want to be there at your trial
I want a love american style

Christine Bactine
Christine Bactine
she's not in love
but at least she's clean
she's back
she stings
she's not in love
she's just insane
stop the hurt from hurting
but what's behind the curtain
disease and self reflection
the dreams that cause infection
she stayed home today
to wash away the things you say
outside closing in you
don't have to wash your hands again
but she just got caught up on another
hygiene product
to stop the hurt from hurting
to stop her eyes from burning
but maybe she'll come undone
for that special someone
with the frog in his throat
wash your mouth out with soap
now I don't know what to say

I Love You, But You're Standing On My Foot
When I saw you standing there
in your lacy underwear
I knew I was in the ladies' dressing room
and now I've seen it all
and they kicked me out of the mall
but it was wonderful
and now we've got alot to talk about
yeah I know yeah but when we're hanging out
it always seems like you're having a cow
I love you but you're standing on my foot
There's got to be some way
for you and me to act our age
and maybe make a change
where will we be next year
still sitting here and drinking beer
and watching Mr. Belvedere
and I know it's not much of a life
you're in color I'm in black and white
but we play parcheesi every Saturday night
so that's all right
cause I love you
but you're standing on my foot
yeah yeah.
And you were wearing your hat that said
God guts and guns made America free
let's keep all three
and you were smiling but I could see
your disappointment and a piece of something green
stuck between your teeth
I said I'm so impressed
you said surely you dressed
I said yes
but stop calling me Shirley
it's not my name

Makeup
I know you can't make up your mind
I can't make up my mind either
though we know we haven't got time
we still keep on digging deeper
and I want to say
there's no use in pretending
but I could pretend forever
cause the more we pretend
the more we get into
though we know we know better
You make up your watery eyes
and I'll make up more excuses
on beyond believable lies
you really don't think I'd do it
but we're only a step away
from disaster
everyday brings us closer
and the closer we get
the more we go after
pushing each other over
And I don't want to see us
run over by a truck
that would be so pointless
so I'm looking both ways
but I don't know why I
try so hard to avoid it
Can't make up my mind
I'll make up my mind
when you make up your mind

See It Now
Overnight only killing only kidding
but I know what you're gonna say
things you misconstrue on purpose
and it's worthless
to try to put it another way
I've been drinking some alcohol
I've been waiting for you to call
though it's next to impossible
I can still see myself the way I was the day
I might have known what was in the way
must have been stranger than fiction
you're gonna make someone a wonderful wife someday
I've been talking myself to sleep
the words wear out even as I speak
or it could just be the delivery
I can see it now
can you see it now
I can't believe I'm saying what I'm saying
and I know it will mix you up
what we got caught up in
so close to nothing
but not quite close enough
I could get up enouh to call
but it makes you uncomfortable
and I've been drinking some alcohol
now I can see it now
can you see it now
I can see it now
