A DIFFERENT CITY
I wanna  live in a city with no friends or family
I'm gonna look out the window of my color T.V.
I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me
I'm gonna look out the window of my color T.V.
Through the cracks in the wall
Slow motion for all
Dripped out of the bars
Someone smart said nothiní at all
I'm watching T.V. 
I guess thatís a solution
They gave me a receipt that said, I didn't buy nothiní
So rust is a fire and our blood oxidizes
My eyes rolled around, all around on the carpet
Oh hit the deck, It's the decal man 
Standiní upside down and talkiní out of his pants
I wanna live in a city with no friends or family
Iím gonna look out the window of my color T.V.


ALONE DOWN THERE
How do, how do you do?
My name is you 
Flies, they all gather around me and you too
You can't see anything well
You ask me what size it is, not what I sell
The flies, they all gather around me and you too
I don't want you to be alone down there 
To be alone down there, to be alone
The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit 
He fed me a line and I'll probably regret it
I don't want you to be alone down there 
To be alone down there, to be alone
Ah.
I donít want you to be alone down there 
To be alone down there, to be alone


THE COLD PART
So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this bone bleached part of the world
So long to this cold, cold part of the world
So long to this salt soaked part of the world
I stepped down as president of Antarctica
Can't blame me, don't blame me, donít
So long to this sad, sad part of the world
So long, So long


DARK CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
I might disintegrate into the thin air if youíd like
I'm not the dark center of the universe like you thought (x2)
Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And Iím real damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
Well, died sayiní something, but didn't mean it 
Everyoneís life ends, but no one ever completes it 
Dry or wet ice, they both melt and youíre equally cheated
Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am 
And Iím really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
Well, an endless ocean landiní on an endless desert
Well, its funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
If you can't see the thin air than why the hell should you care?
Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am 
And Iím really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
Well, Iím sure youíd tell me you got nothing to say 
But our voices shook hands the other day 
If you canít see the thin air what the hell is in the way?
(repeated lyrics)
Well, God sayiní somethiní, but he didnít mean it 
Everyoneís life ends, but no one ever completes it 
Dry or wet ice, they both melt and youíre equally cheated
Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am 
And Iím really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
Iím sure youíll tell me you got nothiní to say 
But our voices shook hands the other day 
If you canít see the thin air then what the hells in your way?


GRAVITY RIDES EVERYTHING
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I wanna go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place


I CAME AS A RAT
Well I ain't sure, but I been told
He's baking cakes inside our souls
Stayed awake, took a nap
Got myself my bottles back
I'm breakiní them out on the street
Walkiní around in my bare feet
I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat
I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never gonna cut his hair
It takes more time to make a fake
We night swam down in the lake
Washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattle on ëbout bad inventions
I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a Rat
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well I don't know, but I been told
You never die and you never grow old
Uh oh!
I came as a call, I came as flat
I came too soon so I came back
I came as flowers, I came as nice
I came as dirt and I came as its price
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
I don't know, but I been told 
You never die and you never grow old
Uh Oh!


LIFE LIKE WEEDS
And in this life like weeds, you're just a rock to me
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the places you go, you'll see the place where you're from
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the faces you meet, you'll see the place where you'll die
I could have told you all that I love you
And on the day that you die, you'll see the people youíd met
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the faces you see, you'll see just who you've been
I wish I could have told you allÖ
In this life like weeds, eyes need us to see
Hearts need us to bleed, in this life like weeds 
You're a rock to me
I know where you're from, but where do you belong?
In this life like weeds, you're the dirt Iíll breath
In this life like weeds, you're a rock to me
All this talkiní all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothiní left to breathe
And you think you feel most everything
And we know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
So you think you've figured out everything
But we know that our minds are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
All this talkiní all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothing left to breathe
Up until there's nothiní left to speak.
Up until the better parts of space


LIVES
Everyone's afraid of their own life 
If you could be anything you want 
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love 
If you knew everything they thought 
I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up
Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math
When you were alive 
No ones gonna play the harp when you die
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime 
Iíd have half the time, do you mind?
Everyone's afraid of their own lives 
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? 
Am I right? And itís our lives
It's hard to remember, itís hard to remember 
We're alive for the first time
It's hard to remember were alive for the last time
It's hard to remember, itís hard to remember
To live before you die
It's hard to remember, itís hard to remember 
That our lives are such a short time
It's hard to remember, itís hard to remember 
When it takes such a long time
It's hard to remember, itís hard to rememberÖ
My momís God is a woman and my mom she is a witch
I like this
My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself
Why fight this
Everyone's afraid of their own lives 
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?


PAPER THIN WALLS
These walls are paper thin 
And everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeurist, their watching me 
Watch them, watch me right now
They're shakiní hands, they're shakiní in their shoes 
Oh Lord, don't shake me down
Everyone wants two of them 
And half of everyone else whoís around
Its been agreed, the whole world stinks 
So no ones taking showers anymore
LAUGH HARD ITíS A LONG WAY TO THE BANK
I can't be blamed for nothiní anymore
It's been a long time since you've been around
Laugh hard itís a long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time, you know 
That you don't owe
I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know



PERFECT DISGUISE
You've got the Perfect disguise and you're lookiní o.k.
From the bottom of the best of the worst, well what can I say
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down 
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No cuz I know the score
Need me to fall down, so you can climb up 
Some fool ass ladder, well good luck 
I hope, I hope there's something better up there
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down 
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No cuz I know the score
Well good luck believing every word thatís said
I hope you have enough space in your head
I donít know, broke my back


STARS ARE PROJECTORS
In the last second of life, they're gonna show you how
How they run this show, sure, run it into the ground
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectiní our lives down to this planet Earth
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectiní our minds down to this planet Earth
Everyone wants a double feature 
They wanna be their own damn teacher, and how 
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectiní our lives down to this planet Earth
It's all about moderate climates 
You gotta be cold and be hot for sure
It's all about the moderate climates 
You wanna be blessed and be cursed for sure
All the stars are projectors, yeah 
Projectiní our lives down to this planet Earth (x2)
Everyone wants a double feature 
They want to be in their own damn teacher, and how 
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectiní our lives down to this planet Earth
You've got the harder part, You've got the kinder heart 
And itís true
I've got the easy part, I've got the harder heart
Aint this true
Right wing, left wing, chicken wing
It's built on findiní the easier ways through
God is a woman and the woman is 
An animal that animals man, and that's you
Was there a need for creation? 
That was hiden in a math equation 
And that's thisÖ
WHERE DO CIRCLES BEGIN?


THIRD PLANET
Everything that keeps me together is falling apart, I've got
this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over
My boss just quit the job says he's goiní out to find blind 
spots and he'll do it
The 3rd Planet is sure that they're being watched by an
eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promise land your gonna shake that
eyes hand
Your heart felt good it was drippiní pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Outside naked, shiveriní looking blue, from the cold
sunlight that's reflected off the moon
Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used
to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the
water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and 
another had been found another ocean on the planet
given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And how
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go
straight long enough you'll end up where you were


TINY CITIES MADE OF ASHES
Weíre goiní down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
Gonna hit you on the face gonna punch you in your 
glasses. Oh no!
I just got a message that said "Yeah hell is freeziní over"
I Got a phone call from the Lord sayiní "Hey boy get a 
sweater. Right now"
So we're drinkiní drinkiní drinkiní drinkiní coca-coca-cola
I can feel it rolliní right on down
Oh right on down my throat 
And as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities 
made of ashes
I'm gonna get dressed up in plastic gonna shake hands 
with the masses. Oh no!
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
Does anybody know a way
Were goiní down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm goiní to hit you on the face I'm goiní to punch you in your 
glasses. Oh no!
I'm weariní myself a t-shirt that says "The world is my ashtray"
Our hearts pump dust and our hairs all grey
And I just got a message sayiní that hell has frozen over
Got a phone call from the Lord sayiní "Hey boy get a 
sweater. Right now!"
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
Does anybody know a way
Were drinkiní drinkiní drinkiní drinkiní coca-coca-cola
I can feel it rolliní right on down oh right on down my throat
And as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities 
made of ashes
I'm gonna lay down in the spa where they coat you 
in molasses. Oh no!
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
Does anybody know a way


WHAT PEOPLE ARE MADE OF
Rag weed tall better hope that his ladder donít crack
Or heíll hit the ground low, hard and out of  his back
At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, well the dead
do rise
You need proof I got proof at the surface you can watch
em float by
Way in back of the room, there sits a cage
Inside itís a clock that you can win if you can guess its age
Which you never can do cuz the time it constantly changes
For luck or lack
I guess that is the saying
On the first page of the book of blue it read
"If you read this page, than that'll be your death"
By then it was too late
And you wound up on an island of shells and bones that
bodies had left 
And the one thing you taught me 
ëbout human beings was this
They ain't made of nothiní but water and shit


WILD PACK OF FAMILY DOGS 
A wild pack of family dogs came runniní through the yard one day
My father got his gun, shot it up, they ran away ok
A wild pack of family dogs came runniní through the yard
And as my own dog ran away with them, I didnít say much of anything at all
A wild pack of family dogs came runniní through the yard
As my little sister played, the dogs took her away 
And I guess she was eaten up ok, yeah she was eaten up ok
My motherís cryiní blood dust now
My dad he quit his job today, well I guess he was fired but thatís ok
And Iím sittiní outside my mudlake, waiting for the pack to take me away
And right after I die the dogs start floating up towards the glowing sky
Now theyíll receive their rewards, now they will receive their rewards
