inHumanity 5/20/07
inhumaniti gets themeat on the plate
gets the rubber on the road
lets the people growl old and gray
every time i think about
what they do i gotta shout hey
inhumaniti keeps the lock on the gait
in the summer keeps you cold
puts the littel numbers on the licenxe plate
every time i think about what they do i gotta shout hey
when yhe good times are over
you might understand
get the world off your shoulder
and the knife in your back
two tongues dry as the dessert
one heart light as a feather
Im still walking home
6 years down ones a cinch
Its just the 7 year itch
got the greatest disorder
ever known unto man
going south of no northern
Gotta fee like a man
two tongues dry as the dessert
one heart caves to the pressure
be still
6 years down ones a cinch
its just the 7 years itch.
coming
back
and they know that we dont love each other
but a roof keeps you dry in the rain
and the drive is too far so i sleep in the car
when i wake nothings changed
and we aint coming back
and i look to the sky for a brother
when i think i have made a mistake
change the locks on hte door run the mile til you're sore
everything but your name
and we aint coming back
the sentimanetal blood is pumpin
and the roots are tentacles that never end
pull the heartstrings to the batteries are jumpin
pull em in and in again
no we aint coming back
I want you to love me 3/19/07
over here i want you to know
I left my 52 cards on your table
have no fear and dont call the law
i got to see what you have in the veil
call it weird but some call it love
im like a cigarette burn in your carpet
in the mirrow i shine like a dove
and im feeling so damn good i cant stop it
i got no place to go but home
i want you to love me
throwing all my rocks at your window
i want you to love me
to the stars and higher you go
floating up and away you are so sure
leave me here to stare as you go
and you fly fly away little vutlture
when i swim i sink like a stone
and your car pulls away like a moment
plant it here but it doesnt grow
but it makes little cracks in the cement
i got no place to go but home
i want you to love me
throwing all my rocks at your window
i want you to love me
LAST
GIRL, 2/20/07
You are a lonely moon
a distant atmosphere
all things surrounding you
a lovely alibi
i need to live a lie
you leave me hot and dry
and i feel good tonight
beneath the plexiglass there stand my naked ass
all feelings come to pass
one heart im gonna miss
reward me with your kiss
behind the sun eclipse
and i feel good tonight
and you're the last girl on earth
yah your the last and the first
(lame organ solo)
you are a lonely moon
a distant atmosphere
I wanna shelter you
beneath the loney blue
a diamond oh so clear
you cut my heart in two
and i feel good tonight
and you're the last girl on earth
ANOTHER
MOON 02/02/07
theres another moon in the sky
it shines on your roof but it passes you by
you stop looking up cause you dont want to cry
theres another moon
there are certain things you dont say
they fall from your mouth when you're looking away
you stop speaking up when you hear the delay
there are certain things
theres another heart deep inside
it beats on your ribs and it busts up your mind
you stop feeling strong when you start feeling fine
theres another heart
theres another moon in the sky
it shines on your roof but it passes you by
you stop looking up cause you dont want to cry
theres another moon
New Medication 12/20/06
when joe got home he waved to all the neighbors on his street
he slams the door and looks around for something he can beat

im through advertising the thoughts in my head
and im ready for what lies ahead
when nobody really likes you

Right Behind You, 9/30/06
you're like a baby safe in the stroller
but so afraid to turn out the light
all hands on deck you want to jump over
a hundred miles in
you got to run the mile like a loner
and break your heart one beat ata time
you pull anight shift and you go solar
a floating island
and we are right behind you
caveman painting in the wet sand
sitting on an ace hand waitiing on a train
and we are right behind you
and you are a long long way from home
when you get the money you'll be gone
no one there to tell you right from wrong
blowing sparks into the flight path
spaceman miles above the good land
bombing with your right hand
and we are right behind you
oh we are right behind
WORTH
ANALYZING 9/5/06
and it should have meant a lot little gifts id give
reolling round the parking lot growing rashes on my skin
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought
aint a pill you havent popped let the love begin
finding new hats for your god you cant make the old hat fit
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought
i have waisted my life trying and i get what i got
burning candles on your lawn when the sun has set
dinner time has come and gone but i havent eaten yet
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought
i have waisted my life trying and i get what i got

long drive december with just a month to live
i didnt go there for the traffic or the scenery
i didnt go there with chains around my feet
but mother lies in the bed tubes are tied

long arms can hold you clouds full of butterflies
the black horizon is sailing in the sky
nobody knows whos operating
the doctor puts you under
the family sits in the room waiting
but no one knows
and mother lies in the bed tubes are tied
snowboardng motherfuckers i wanna throw a hand grenade in your ski pants

so it will melt and create a swamp where alligators will suck your childen

IS IT
SAFE 5/11/06 (this is a vocal re-do all the way from feb 06 recording)
youre alone out of place
so afraid to look out of your window
animal wants to play
so you crawl on the foam where the dust grows
they dont exaggertae when they say this is safe
you look bored
and amazed
is this all that you bought in the swindle
they dont exaggertate
WHEN WE ASK YOU IS IT SAFE SAY ITS SAFE
YOULL NEVER GET ANOTHER TASTE
you want move on
but theres no off
you wanna be lost
so go get lost
you wanted a line
nobody would cross
CHORUS
I
think you still love me too 5/9/06
I aint lookin through a lense of plastic
I aint looking through a crystal ball
and if your life is ending up fantastic
I aint never gonna get to know
and i know im just a big fanatic
and i know ive got a bitter soul
and i know it sounds a bit romantic
But i think you still love me too
x2
deeper than the city atlantis
hotter than the fire in the coal
bending from the knee a praying mantis
handing you the coat you're geting cold
and i know im so antagonistic
but i tihnk i never let you go
and i gotta flare for the dramatic
CHORUS
farther than the lonely distant planet
farther than the miles i gotta to go
pulling me like metal to the magnet
pulling me down with an undertow
and i knew i blew my one chance at it
and i know ill never tell you so
and i know its just a force of habit
CHORUS X 3

There is poison in the smog but that is the air that i breathe
and how i try to get along but i cant follow
and when somebody does me wrong there is athing that i need
but i can never get a hit with my back to the wind
now i have to live alone embryo of the sea
i can imitate a song or i can swallow
and when nobody does me wrong there is a thing that i need
bt i can never get a hit with my back to the wind
what i need is your ambulance this is self defense
gonna go off like a roman candle on the street yah
gonna tie off like smiling junkie on the beat
gonna bite off like a mountain something i can eat
gonna hollar like a dollar stickin to your feet
sometimes they hide it in the law i never thought this is me
and now i try to get along but i cant follow
you wither fight it or belong to the one thing that you need
you can never get a hit with your back to the wind
what i need is your ambulance this is self defense
what i need is your ambulance this is self defense

Stop Laughing 3/7/06
You're a real deal breaker

Your a true crime faker
and they said have at it

make demands
i would love to meet your demands but I cant stop
my demands
they are happy when they eat right
I would feed them angry flowers but

bout an hour later
and the roof may on our heads
did the aggravator meet his demands
I would love to meet your friends
but I cant stop laughing

DEEP
DRAG 2/13/06
Why I always came in very late
these hands of mine never found the time to shave
I live above the jet stream
I get a cut to stay clean
you are a deep drag a plague upon my house
talk like an old hag it's time to let her out
we encapsulate like a mormom
under sonic waves in a storm
we encapsulate like a mormon
under sonic waves
oh my oh what sharpened teeth you have
on flowered beds counting all your last regrets
I live above the jet stream
I get a cut to stay clean
we encapsulate like a mormom
under sonic waves in a storm
You are a deep drag
We're

THE GREEN LIGHT 12/13/05
