About A Girl
 

I need an easy friend

I do, with an ear to lend

I do think you fit this shoe

I do, won't you have a clue

Take a advantage while

You hang me out to dry

I can't see you everynight

Free, I do

Im standin in your line

I do hope you'll have the time

I do pick a number two

I do keep a date with you

Take a advantage while

You hang me out to dry

I can't see you everynight

Free, I do

I need an easy friend

I do, with an ear to lend

I do think you fit this shoe

I do, won't you have a clue

Take a advantage while

You hang me out to dry

I can't see you everynight (2x)

Free

I do (4x)
 
 

Come As You Are
 

Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be, as a friend, as a friend

As I've no enemy, take your time hurry up

The choice is yours don't be late

Take a rest, as a friend,

As I've no memory, memory, memory, memory

Dowsed in mud, soaked in bleech

As I want you to be, as a trend, as a friend

As I've no memory, memory, memory, memory

And I swear that I don't have a gun, don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun

Memory, Memory, Memory, Memory

No I don't have a gun, and I swear I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun

Memory, Memory
 
 

Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam
 

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are nothin like me

Don't expect me to cry

For other reasons that often die

Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for you

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are nothin like me

Don't expect me to cry

For other reasons that never die

Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for you

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for you

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are nothin like me

Don't expect me to cry

For other reasons that never die

Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for you
 
 

The Man Who Sold The World
 

We past upon the stair

Spoken walls of when

Although I wasn't there

Said I was his friend

Which came as a surprise

I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone

A long, long time ago

Oh no, not me

We never lost control

Your face to face

With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand

Made my way become

I searched the foreign land

For years and years I romed

I gazed a pazly stare

We walked a million hills

I must have died alone

A long, long time ago

Who knows?, not me

I never lost control

Your face to face

With the man who sold the world

Who knows?, not me

We never lost control

Your face to face

With the man who sold the world
 
 

Pennyroyal Tea
 

Im on my time with everyone

I have very bad posture

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Distill the life thats inside of me

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Im anemic royalty

Give me Leonard Cohen afterworld

So I can sigh eternally

Im so tired I cant sleep

Im a liar and a thief

Sit and drink, pennyroyal tea

Im anemic royality

Im on warm milk and laxatives

Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Distill the life thats inside of me

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Im anemic royalty
 
 

Dumb
 

Im not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But im having fun

I think im dumb

Or maybe just happy

Think im just happy (3x)

My heart is broke

But I have some glue

Help me inhale

And mend it with you

We'll float around

And hang out on clouds

Then well come down

And have a hangover....have a hangover (3x)

Skin the sun

Fall asleep

Wish away

The soul is cheap

Lesson learned

Wish me luck

Soothe the burn

Wake me up

Im not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But Im having fun

I think im just dumb

Or maybe just happy

Think im just happy (3x)

I think Im dumb (12x)
 
 

Polly
 

Polly wants a cracker

Think I should get off her first

Thinks she wants some water

To put out the blow torch

Isn't me, we have some seed

Let me clip your dirty wings

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself

Got some rope, havn't told

Promise you, I have been true

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself

Polly wants a cracker

Maybe she would like some food

She asked me to untie her

A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me, we have some seed

Let me clip your dirty wings

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself

Got some rope, havn't told

Promise you, heaven true

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself

Polly said, Polly says her back hurts

Shes just as bored as me

She caught me off my guard

Amazes me, the will of instinct

Isn't me, we have some seed

Let me clip your dirty wings

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself

Got some rope, havn't told

Promise you, heaven true

Let me take a ride, cut yourself

Wants some my help, please myself
 
 

On A Plain
 

I'll start this off without any words

Got so high, I scratched till I bled

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

The finest day that Ive ever had

Is when I learned, to cry on command

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

I'm on a plain, I can't complain I'm on a plain

My mother died every night

Its safe to say, dont quote me on that

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

The black sheep got, black mailed again

Forgot to put on the zip code

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

I'm on a plain, I can't complain I'm on a plain

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream, my memorys stored

As defence im neutered and spayed

What the hell am I trying to say

It is now time

To make it unclear

To write off lines

That dont make sense

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

And one more special message to go

And then im done and I can go home

Love myself, better than you

I know its wrong, so what should I do

I'm on a plain, I can't complain (5x)
 
 

Something In The Way
 

Underneath the bridge

The top has sprung a leak

And the animals ive trapped

Have all become my pets

And im, livin off of grass

And the drippins from my ceilin

Its ok to eat fish

Cause they don't have any fealings

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Underneath the bridge

The top has sprung a leak

And the animals ive trapped

Have all become my pets

And im, livin off of grass

And the drippins from my seamen

Its ok to eat fish

Cause they don't have any fealings

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah

Something in the way

Something in the way, yah
 
 

Plateau
 

Many of hand, a skilled de grand

Oh the face of the plateau

Some belonged to strangers

And some the folks you know

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts

Are planted in the sand

Beautify the foothills

Shake the many hands

Nuthin on the top

But a bucket and a mop

And a illustrated book about birds

You see alot up there, but dont be scared

Who needs action when you got words

You've finished with the mop

And you cant stop

And look at what youve done

The plateaus clean

No dirt to be seen

And the work, it was fun

Nuthin on the top

But a bucket and a mop

And an illustrated book about birds

You see alot up there, but dont be scared

Who needs actions when you got words

Many hands began to scan

Around for the next plateau

Some say it was greenland

Some say mexico

Others decided it was nowhere

Except for where they stood

Those were all just guesses

Wouldn't help you, if they could
 
 

Oh Me
 

If I had to loose a mile

If I had to touch feelin

I would loose my soul

The way I do

I dont have to think

I only have to do it

The results are always perfect

But thats old news

Would you like to hear my voice

Sprinkled with emotion

Then its your birth

I can't see, the end of me

My holy expense

I cannot see

If only laid effinitiy

Stored deep inside me

If I had to loose a mile

If I had to touch feelin

I would loose my soul

The way I do

I dont have to think

I only have to do it

The results are always perfect

But thats old news

Would you like to hear my voice

Sprinkled with emotion

Then its your birth

I can't see, the end of me

My holy expense

I cannot see

If only laid effinitiy

Stored deep inside me

If only laid effinitiy

Deep inside me
 
 

Lake Of Fire
 

Where do bad folks go when they die

They dont go to heaven where the angels fly

They go to a lake of fire and fry

See them again until the fourth of july

I knew a lady came from Deluth

Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth

She went to her grave a little to soon

Flew and laid down on the yellow moon

Where do bad folks go when they die

They dont go to heaven where the angels fly

They go to a lake of fire and fry

See them again until the fourth of july

People cry, and people moan, look for a dry place

To call there home, try to find a place to rest there bones

While the angels and the devils try to make it on there own

Where do bad folks go when they die

They dont go to heaven where the angels fly

They go to a lake of fire and fry

See them again until fourth of july
 
 

All Apologies
 

What else should I be

All apologies

What could I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Im married

Buried

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault

I'll take all the blame

Aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezer burn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Im married

Buried

Married

Buried

All in all is all we all are (20x)
 
 

Where Did You Sleep Last Night
 

My girl, my girl don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl where will you go

Im goin where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

The house them walls a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a drivin wheel

But his body never was found

My girl, my girl don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

Shiver for me

My girl, my girl where will you go

Im goin where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines where the sun dont ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl where will you go

Im goin where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines sunshine

I will shiver the whole night through
