From the Down LP.

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...



Mistletoe
---------

You use mistletoe
You use mistletoe
I call poison control
	You try to kill me
	You try to kill me
	I call poison control
	You break my arm
	You break my arm
You burn my head
You burn my head
I call the police in
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
I'll kill you now
	I call my brother to here
	I call my brother to here
	You a lying crazy
	I call my brother to here
	Hey brother
You smother my breath
You cut my breast
I call an ambulance
You take me down
I call your name out
	I need you with me
	I call your name out
	I love you my man
	I call your name out
I want you to stay here
I call your name out
I can't leave you
I call you name out
You a pig-eyed comments
I'll give it to you
You a pig-eyed comments
I'll give it to you.


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

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

$.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.


American BB

My confounded partner says
Meow meow meow beep beep
I'm woke up to start some shit
In they cloak room
	Next time you kids run
	Through my yard
	Go around
	Next time you kids run 
	Through my yard
	Go around
My confounded partner says
Meow meow meow beep beep
All they cloaks hang side by each
In they cloak room
	Next time you kids run
	Through my yard
	Go around
	Next time you kids run 
	Through my yard
	Go around
		I'm gonna call your mother
		And your father in there
		I'm gonna break yolur arms
		And break both your legs
		I'm gonna cut little gill slits
		In the side of your neck
		And blow in them with a straw
My confounded partner she says
My confounded partner she says
My confounded partner she says
Meow meow meow
Meow meow meow
Meow beep beep


Horse
-----

They got him drunk as hell
They caught him way off balance
He could not walk or stand
So they thought they could take him
They had a plan to trip him
As he stumbled by and kick him
Their tiny brains were bubbling
His filthy mouth was mumbling
	Get
	Get
	Get off my horse	
He's in the trunk and still now
Unconscious and he's bleeding
They cut him wide open
Several times they stabbed him
He had burned his brothers
As if they were not of his family
Dug deep enough for covering
The hole where they'd be lowering
	Get
	Get
	Get off my horse
After they sunk his body
And covered up their tracks
They thought of ways or means 
To lie about what they had done
They told their pa
The he had gone off into the woods
By himself
The got old ma to worrying
But not about some burying
	Get
	Get
	Get off my horse


Din
---

Get me up from this terrible place
Because it's dangerous down here
There are splinters and splinters
Flying like arrows around
I turn around to see one huge black tongue
That means to lick my very being
And the sun is about to set
On the head of my shadow
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here
I'm tired and dizzy
Weak and spent
I cannot tell which way is up
And the faster I try to move
The quicker I get stuck
The quicker I get stuck
Stuck underneath a heavy piece of...
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here
		A million shrieking wolfhounds
		Are screaming in a straight line
		Aimed and focused on my neck
		All two million
		Of their piss-yellow eyes
		Are racing speedy as scalpels
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here
	So get me the hell out of here


Elegy
-----

The pathetic sight of your sunken eyes
The angular lines of your hips and waist
The light and the dark 
Of your vallied ribs
The skeletal draw
Of your temples and cheeks
Your breath but a wisp
From your string thin lips
The acrid stink of your face and mouth
Unsound unsure...your shaky legs
	Just when you're about to 
	Learn to smile again
	I'm going to be the one to
	Teach you how to cry


The Best Parts
--------------

She leans on you with that drunk grin
She gives the boys
A look at the best parts
She's always a couple bucks short
	And that picture
	Of her in Berlin
	Gets them every time
