SERVE THE SERVANTS

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

It she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at Salem's lot

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a Dad

I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore


SCENTLESS APPRENTICE

Like most bables smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a Scentless Apprentice

Go away - get AWAY, get AWAY, get A-WAY
Every wet nurse relused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
In promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
there are countless formulas for pressing flowers

I lie in the soil and fertilized mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit


HEART-SHAPED BOX

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back


RAPE ME

Rape me, my friend
Rape me again

I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again

Waste me
Taste me, my friend

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn


FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE HER REVENGE ON SEATTLE

It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
It's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us, to see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient, a display of patience, desease-covered puget sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash on the ground
I miss the comfort in being sad


DUMB

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy

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 we'll come down
And have a hangover...have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb


VERY APE

I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary files
I take pride as the king of illterature
I'm very ape and very nice

If you ever need anything please don't hesitate
To ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all I was here first

Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt


MILK IT

I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak, test meat

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk

Doll steak, test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma
Ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery


PENNYROYAL TEA

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids


RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT SHIFTER

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Strave without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third degree burns

What is wrong with me
What is what I need
What do I think I think

This had nothing to do with what you think
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke

Hate, hate your enemies
Save, save your friends
Find, find your place
Speak, speak the truth


tourette's

"...Moderate Rock..." May day, every day, my day Could've
had a heart attack, my heart We don't know anything, my
heart. We all want something fair, my heart. Hey! Hey!
Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Out of town, out of fire, is
my heart. Queen of lies, today, my heart One more on the
phone, my heart One more at the door of my heart. Hey! Hey!
Heyyyyyyyyyyy! Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold
heart Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart --
uhhhhhhh!


ALL APOLOGIES

What else should I be
All apologies
What else shoud 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
I'm 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 freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all is all we all are


GALLONS OF RUBBING ALCOHOL FLOW THROUGH THE STRIP *hidden track*

It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
that you're only supposed to use once and then discard
Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend
My shyness, pet her flow

She's only been five months late,
even though we haven't had sex for a week

A meal a day, a meal, I say
And my heart's made my....

Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis
She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer

She's only five weeks late,
and I haven't had a date forever...
ever...ever...forever!

Wish I had more...more opportunity,
more chances to remember some things
so I couldn't have so much pressure on my...
on my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head

We'd have so much more diversity,
and so much more input, so much more creative flow,
if we had someone in school, a (GIT)...

GIT...geeks...in...town
Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one...
Girls In Trouble
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC

Fuck, man, this is a waste of time!
(laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!

You're personally responsible for...
the entire strip...to be washed away...
cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
flowed through the strip and were set on fire

It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight

And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom,
and his...silk...
and he...he erected a beautiful city...
a city of stars
