Shake me, I’m waiting
In your new arc they’re saying
I’m the creature in your sick thing
Everybody sees a giant
When the bad moon in your heart sings
And your wind up gears start grinding
Your teeth feel you smiling
A better, happier you
The better happier you
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it’s easy
Like you’re all out and i’m your man
Hit me, I’m bleeding
In your lounger, on your grooming
It’s the future that’s whoring
The better, happier you
A better happier you
When you blow out like a dead star
It reminds me how uniform your beautiful is
We carry on like it’s easy
Like you’re all out
And I’m your man
Baby I’m your man

I found me a reason
So check me tomorrow
We’ll see if I’m leaking
Push and push and push till it hurts
My devil’s on roller skates
Down at the roller rink
Picking up chicks for me
Ones that push and push and push till it hurts
Push and push till it hurts
Dirty enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Dirty enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Life’s for the living
So check me tomorrow
We’ll see if I’m kidding
Push and push and push till it hurts
Did it on Ritalin
I got me some good grades
Now I work me the night shift
Where I pull and pull and pull till it hurts
Pull and pull till it hurts
Dirty enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Dirty enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Hello time bomb, I’m ready to go off
If life’s for the livid
Check me tomorrow
We’ll see if I’m emperor
My devil’s on sugared smacks
Down at the radio shack
We’re turning shit into solid gold, solid gold
Dirty enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Dirty it enough I got me a love
And it’s so bad, it’s so bad
Hello time bomb, I’m ready to go off
Hello time bomb, I’m ready to go off

Good morning
Don’t cop out
You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
Are you crazy to want this
Even for a while?
We’re making this shit up
The reasons for being are easy to pay
You can’t remember the others
They just kind of went away
So you’re driving, it’s rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs
When you drift off to wake up
Do you always hit the brakes?
We’re done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you’re gone
Either dead or dying
Either dad or trying to go
It’s evening, you’re tired
You sleep walk, a robot out on the street
Are you crazy to want this, even for a while? you’re driving, it’s rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving backwards
Into a wall of fire
We’re done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you’re gone
Either dead or dying
Either dead or trying to go
Good morning
Don’t cop out

Going to fly to Hawaii
Get laid in a lawn chair
Drown in a bathtub
Fill it with cheap beer
I miss new wave
And movies about losing
Or just the parts where it’s a-okay
See baby i got something right
The world is screaming
I miss new wave
And real intent
Gonna drive to LA
Get laid at the rose bowl
Drown in a hot tub, fill it with models
I miss new wave
And hearing the scratches on my long plays
Or just the part that sound OK
See baby i got something right
When the world is screaming
I miss new wave
And real intent
Gonna die in Coquitlam
Get laid by a golf course
That I never went to
Well it’s not a real sport
And I’ll miss new wave
And watching you walk away
So go on it’s OK
See baby i got something right
See baby i got one thing right

Picture yourself
Sleeping on a plane
There’s something ticking in the overhead
And inside your brains
There’s bodies in the water
And bodies in the basement
If heaven’s for clean people, it’s vacant
And hey are you know?
And hey are you being careful?
And hey are you luke warm?
Hey ya you are
I’m frantic (nice to meet you)
So load me up
Whatever puts me all the way out
Picture yourself swimming in an ocean
1,000,000 miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
There’s bodies in the water
Floating all around you
And all of them are talking, and they’re comedians
And hey are you you know?
And hey are you special?
And hey are you deformed?
Hey ya you are
I’m frantic
So load me up
It seems so practiced
Me fucking this up
Whatever puts me all the way out
Picture yourself at the MGM grand
One night only, murphy vs. hokem
You’re in the stands
There’s somebody in the water
In the middle of the ocean
1,000,000 miles from nowhere
And they’re alone
I’m there alone
So, so deformed
I’m frantic
So load me up
This seems so practiced
So take me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out

Hey alice
I’m caving in
I know it’s not allowed
But sometimes i fantasize
I’m peeling off my skin
Enough to fill it up again
Hey rabbit
Into the pavement
I’m caving in
Mother told me to be something
So i’m afraid enough to stay wide awake
Hey rabbit
I came to win
I know it’s not allowed
But sometimes you might find
It feels like nothing is
And it’s everything you’ve been
Hey alice
Into the pavement
I’m caving in
Mother told me to be something
So i’m afraid enough to stay wide awake
This ain’t real baby, i’ve got a better excuse for myself
I’m always here

You will come back within yourself
You can be art when we melt
And i will know what you were for
I say we’re leaving
There ain’t nothing here at all
Another day, a week, the mall
And baby if I was in demand
You would be mind
Someday this place it going to burn
Is your whole life in there waiting?
Someday your head is going to turn and you’ll realize
I’m missing, do you realize?
You will come back
Convince yourself you can stay alive
And wait for me
And i will know what this was for
And I’ll say we’re leaving
There ain’t nothing here at all
Another month, a year that’s all
So you can tell them I’m coming
And hell’s coming with me
Someday this place is going to burn
Is your whole life in the waiting
Someday their heads are going to turn and they’ll realize
You’re missing
We are there

Hey there bad seeds
Let’s get it on
I’ll shut up and keep my end
Let’s get it on
Our sycophantic replacements are here at last
So impossible
The doubt in the everything, on everything
Is so impossible
So load up and keep marching
The push is on
So impossible
The doubt in everything, on everything
Is so impossible
Down came your blackbird to suffer in my arms

Jenni killed her dad with her car
And now she’s a millionaire
She got beat on mostly for being at home
So mostly she wasn’t there
And me i’m waiting to see
What goes around when she comes around
To kill me
Were you dead way before tonight?
Threw it back and stay awhile
I’ve seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we’ll die a while
We go out and we pass out in our clothes again
Giving it and losing it for the time of our lives
I’m giving it and losing it for the time of my life
You’re giving it and losing it for the time of your life
Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay awhile
I’ve seen red most of my little life
Throw it back, we’ll die awhile
I know what it means ‘you got me’
We’re not sick we just need it for the weekends
On mondays it’s gone
I used to think i was invisible beside you’d crumble
You wait for it and you wait for it and it’s gone
And you wake up and nobody knows
That i’ve loved you buried alive
Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay awhile
I’ve seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we’ll die awhile

Well this is it
So where it’s at monomaniacs
Baby you know all we’re good for
Drugs for the kids, if the kids are flat
All dressed up to match
Those shit eating grins look effortless
And if there’s nothing left to die for
And all this our beauty is just decay
And if there’s nothing left to die for
Then you and me, let’s go out going all the way
Well this is it
So where it’s at megalomaniacs
Baby you know it’s all we’re good for
Those missle men with their master plan
Don’t get paid to understand
Makes you wonder where we got these shit eating grins from
And if there’s nothing left to die for
And all this our beauty is just decay
And if there’s nothing left to die for
Then you and me
Let’s go out going all the way
Dreams of sea caught way inland
Cut as losses we’ll cut our losses
We’ll cut our loss

Don’t move, stay right where you are
Talking can only give you away
And there’s so nothing to say
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they’re invisible
But we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
Come on give me a reason
A boy and his machine gun
When you’re finished struggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here
Cause you weren’t working right?
Don’t move stay just like you are
You look sane motionless like that
So very flat
It’s amazing what velocity can do
When human beings are in season
A boy and his machine gun
If you’re quiet we might see some
When you’re finished struggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here cause you weren’t working right?
There’s a TV in every room
And it’s free even pay-per-view
Which you’ll need if no one’s going to visit you
Animal
I know who you’re waiting for
No one’s coming though
So fuck you and your principals
And fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think i’m evil
Perhaps you think i’m crazy

There’s holes up in the sky
The devil punched down to the monkeys
And now they’ve got drive through
And a video store where there used to be real live actors
Used to ride around here
Up on my high horse
With all the other good little butcher boys
A plagiarist of course
So roll over sweet thing
Like a nuclear reprisal inbound from outer space
There’s a comparison here I’m trying to swing
God damn it’s deafening
Wish you’d shut up about everything
The future is x-rated
There’s holes up in the sky
And no one’s seen your son in days
And things just keep getting weirder and weirder
And now christmas is for shopping
And the shopping god is everything
So roll over and lose it
Cause power is just another one of those things baby
It’s pointless if you ain’t gonna use it
God damn it’s deafening
Wish you’d shut up about everything
The future is x-rated
Used to ride around here up on my high, high horse

There’s a big beat
You’re spinning in my tv
A magician
The antidote
So I’m with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be released
It’s more than the less you say you do
It’s more than the shot that gets you through
Born to buy into something
Born to kill
There’s a big beat
You’re sleeping in my memory
Like Satan
Lonely
So I’m with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be released
It’s more than the less you say you do
It’s more than the shot that gets you though
Born to buy into something
Born to kill

They beam things into your head
The ghosts of your pleasure in contempt
When we were liars things were seamless
When we were wired the world was like a secret
I close my eyes now and i scream
I turn the light on and there’s nothing left redeeming
I saw your face before it changed
The gun it makes you look nicer in a bad way
So low for how high
It’s too late tonight
And I’m sure you’re right
So low for how high
And after this there’s just the circus
And every morning you carnie heart stops working
It gets tight in there sometimes
Looking for the defects, talking like it’s a reflex
I close my mouth now and I scream
I open the door and there’s nothing left redeeming
I saw your face before in rough
You should wait around awhile cause your body’s bound to turn up
So low for how high?
Well it’s too late tonight
And I’m sure you’re right
So low for how high
