Fly on the Wall --------------- That damned fly I told you about is keeping me up again I'm tired as shit Everyday at my job Because his buzzing keeps me from dreaming. And I can never get any rest I can never get any rest I can never get any rest Sure I'll have another drink with you Though I'm already drunk as a bottle It's that fly that's making me drink So I'll pass out And sleep through his screaming And I can never get any rest I can never get any rest I will never get any rest Back in that room That's not mine anymore It's possessed by the drone of a monster Goddamned fly I told you about The moon shines on his wings And they're gleaming And I can never get any rest I can never get any rest I can never get any rest etc...

Countless Backs of Sad Losers ----------------------------- No cat would ever do that Matter of fact No self-respecting monkey would Someone will pay the price Like a frozen corpse Someone will cough it up Because the land lies like this I feel carbonated (I feel) I feel spring-loaded (I feel) Someone will pay the price One thousand years Someone will cough it up I'm the kitchen sink You're an oil pan We are lanced cysts Their footprints are on Countless backs of sad sad losers Now all these dumb trusters Have shit on their faces Got fucked up their asses And put in their places. Queen for a Day --------------- I called that senator From the White House I sat in my office and ovulated A full length mirror I'm queen for a day Look up the skirt of our nation I saw the prime minister In the shit house My palace Is just a Goddamned rest home I fit the prince In and out of my schedule A full length mirror I'm queen for a day I'll spend the rest of my years alone "Before they turned left face along the bank each one gave their good captain a salute with farting tongue pressed tightly to his teeth he blew back with his bugle of an asshole" * I called the president In the White House I sat in my office and ovulated A full length mirror I'm queen for a day etc... * Excerpt from Canto XXI of Dante's Inferno The Associate ------------- City street map outskirts of town South side skyscraper scape Serve and protect my ass Search and annoy Search and annoy Search and annoy Seek hunt There is a motive for every movement This is the way I remember it to be This is the way I remember it to be This is the way I remember Your skin to be You've got skin like porcelain Like dirty porcelain Like crusty porcelain Like restroom porcelain The best place for you Is the hell out of my sight This is the way I remember it to be This is the way I remember it to be This is the way I remember it to be Write a check Write a check And make it out to my associate Make it to your associate Be content With a less than spicy lifestyle Destroy Before Reading ---------------------- I'd soak a towel Like a satellite Tight...tight...tight Norelco proctor silex Hamilton beach Cook up some loving for ya baby Electric blanket Keep the toes and the nose warm I'd soak a towel like a satellite Tight...tight...tight I found my paddle I found my paddle around Midnight I found my paddle I found my paddle around Midnight Cry baby show off Makes good...so proud Mingus and Parker fuck for breakfast Cause jazz is a slut again I'd soak a towel Like a satellite Tight...tight...tight I found my paddle I found my paddle around Midnight I found my paddle I found my paddle around Midnight Do one etc... Low Rider --------- Instrumental $.50 ---- I'm going to go Smoke in the shower I need to piss down the stairs I'm so damned sick of this Stupid bullshit That I'm going to start splitting hairs So I sat down and watched a pot boil Then I stood up and spit in the fan While every one of you Dumb sons of bitches Were eating pellets Right out of my hand You look like a chicken in flight Think I'll kick Foreman's ass On my own I will pay your slut mother One half of one dollar If she'll come and sleep with the band This year's unlikely sex symbol Is dressed like a priest not a man.
