Dead Man With No Heart / KCRW Radio Appearance 1994


dead man with no eyes
won't you look at me tonight
tell me will I look good
with my pants on so tight
watch me die, watch me die

dead man with no heart
won't you love me still
put me in your helicopter
and gimme some weight-loss pills
watch me die, teach me how to cry

dead man with no stomach
won't you eat up all my food
spit it in my face
'cuz it don't taste so good
watch me die, let me ride

dead man with no feet
won't you run to the liquor store
we're running out of caskets
won't you run and get some more
watch me die

dead man, I ain't got no credit
won't you put me in a cash machine
swim around with the dollar bills
look out, I'm turning green
watch me die, watch me fry

Dead Melodies / live 1998

 

where will you go
when this day is over
a gambler's purse
lays in the road
straight to your door
snakes have gone crazy tonight
winding their way out of sight

laugh, joke
the sentiment wasted
seasons and strangers, 
they come and go
the doldrums are pounding
cheapskates are clouding this town
who could disown themselves now

engineer
slow down that old
train
send us in chaff
laugh at the moon
nightbirds will cackle
rotting like apples on trees
send in their dead melodies
to me.

Deadweight / from A Life Less Ordinary Soundtrack; single 1997


On a highway unpaved going my way
you're so alone today
like a ghost town I've found 
there's no relief, no salt in the sea
is it true what they say
you can't behave
you gamble your soul away
measuring your dreams of this life seems 
like the gristle of loneliness

don't let the sun catch ya crying
don't let the sun catch ya crying

Like an nice age nice days 
on your way sipping the golden dregs
on a rip tide freaks ride
sleep inside a parasite's appetite
oh say can't ya see the chemistry
the parasites, the cleanup fee
death leather hands recycled cans
get well cards to the hostage vans

don't let the sun catch ya crying
don't let the sun catch ya crying

You're a deadweight right straight
on your way sunk in the midnight shade
skies burn eyes turn
learning to counterfeit their disease
in this town where we roam 
we bluff our souls on canteen patios
drink the greatest draft 
the music drags  the music drags  the music drags...

don't let the sun catch ya crying
don't let the sun catch ya crying

Death Is Comin' To Get Me / KCRW Radio Broadcast

death is comin' to get you, it's mighty plain to see
with a hand full of cocaine and a long white limosine
he's got rings on his fingers and knives all up his sleeves
suckin' all the air up 'til there's nothin left to breathe

he don't care you're not ready he don't care if you're not dressed
you beg, he won't listen, you can't bribe him with blank checks
cuz he's lookin in the phonebook for your number and your name
and he's comin to your house when you're watchin' a football game

well he's pullin' up the driveway with the windows rolled up tight
and his eyes are goin' blind and his hair is turnin' white
he's crawlin' up the stairs with the can of mace
he's breakin' all the windows with your neighbor's face

he sets your clothes on fire and brings you to your knees
he fills up the room with fashion and disease...well
he bread(?) smashes the tv, decapitates your mom
raids the refrigerator, throws vermin on the lawn

throws frisbees with your records pours blood on the walls
uses your telephone to make long-distance calls
he's laughin' at your diary, he's pukin' on your suits
he's dancin' on your forehead in your hikin' boots

he's crawlin' up the chimney, he's fallin' through the roof
he ties you up with vipers, takes all your drugs and booze
he's coverin' you with bacon and fills your mouth with raid
he's sendin' back all the bills that you've thought you paid

he's got eveything you own out on the patio
and he's givin' it away to people you don't even know
well you don't even care, your mind has been destroyed
you're mutilated, molested and unemployed

Death is Comin to Get You / Fresh Meat and Old Slabs


[a voice that sounds like Darth Vader:
Eternal nothingness. I offer myself so that you might
cast your inscrutable dear silence upon me. O monstrous
hall, symbol of the greater glory of absence, darkness and
mystery beyond the realm of human thought. Let me ask
for your grace and forgiveness in the knowledge that I
shall serve you all the days of my meaningless life.]

and this is kind of a stupid song you write when you're unemployed

Derelict / Odelay 1996

I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
unpacked my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man

Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

Shooting venom at the passers-by
Hi-jackers tied the heavens down
I put my eyes in a paper bag
Spinnin' round like a gambling wheel

Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
unpacked my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man

Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

Devil Got My Woman / KCRW Appearance 1995

musta been the devil

and tried to take my rest
mmm I got to ramble
and wire ??? from the west

Devil's Haircut / Odelay 1996

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the brief case blues

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blastin' disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm sayin'
And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
Devil's haircut! In my mind!
