WIPEOUT
(Jay Decker/Jim Decker)

DON'T GO OUT IN THE RAIN
WITH A GIRL IF YOU DON'T KNOW HER NAME
BECAUSE THE RAIN DOES STRANGE THINGS TO YOUR BRAIN
AND SHE'S ENOUGH TO DRIVE ANY MAN INSANE
ONE AND ONE IS TWO
AND I KNOW I'VE GOT YOU
BUT I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU'D RATHER DO
THEN HEAR ME SAY I DO BUT I DIDN'T
I CAN GO WHERE I WANT TO GO
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO DO
AND I CAN BE ME FINALLY NOW I SEE
IT WAS A MYSTERY OR IT WAS MISERY
KNOW I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO DO
AND I CAN GO WHERE I WANT TO GO
BECAUSE I DID IF ONE NIGHT WITHOUT YOU
YOU SAID THAT YOU'D SEEN ENOUGH AND WE WERE THROUGH
WELL SO LONG


DAY AND NIGHT

(Tracy Porterfield/Jim Decker)

I TOLD YOU I'D TRY AND I WILL
NOT GOING TO WAIT UNTIL
THINGS GET OUT OF OUR HANDS
AND THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY OUT OF HERE
FOUR WALLS ARE GETTING TOO NEAR
THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE
SO YOU BETTER MAKE YOUR MIND UP SOON
WHETHER IT'S ME OR THE MOON
I'M GOING TO WAIT TILL NOON TODAY
I HEAR YOUR LOOKING AROUND
TELL ME DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'VE FOUND
DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE YOUR WAY
THAT YOU LOVE ME EVERY DAY AND NIGHT
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY OUT OF THIS
KNOWING IT'S HIT OR MISS USUALLY IT'S THE LAST
AND I'M NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR YOU
STUPID LIKE I USED TO DO
NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR THE MOON TO TURN BLUE
BECAUSE I TOLD YOU I'D TRY AND I DID
AND AFTER ALL THE THINGS I SAID
NO EASY WAY TO SAY ... TOUCHE


GUYANA
(Jim Kaa/Jim Decker/Jay Decker)

I LIVED IN THE CITY BY THE BAY
UNTIL I MET JIMMY JONES ONE DAY
HE SAID HE'D TAKE US VERY FAR
ALL HE NEEDED WAS OUR HOUSES AND OUR CARS
JIMMY JONES
AND SO WE WENT OFF TO THE PROMISED LAND, YA
WHERE HE SAID EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE
RESPONSIBILITIES LEFT BEHIND
NOT A CARE NOT A CARE IN SIGHT WITH
JIMMY JONES
BUT IN GUYANA THE FENCE WAS HIGH
NO ONE COULD GO THERE WERE NO PASSERS BY
KOOL-AID CAME WITH A BIG FEAST THAT DAY
GUYANA LAND LAY DOWN AND DECAY WITH
JIMMY JONES, JIMMY JONES


FIGURES
(Jim Kaa/Jim Decker)

I'VE BEEN WALKING AND TALKING TO THE COBBLESTONES
LOOKING AT BUILDINGS AND STARING OUT AT FIGURES
OUR CONVERSATION STARTS A NEW DAY
FALLING UP STAIRS JUMPING ON GREEN
RUNNING TO RED STAY AWAY FROM BLACK
TOO MUCH MONEY TONIGHT
TONIGHT I'M HOME BY TWELVE AGAIN
OUT ON THE TOWN I WAS CIRCLING THE SQUARES
BUT THEY LOOK BACK AT ME EXACTLY THE SAME
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE
THE BEAT GOES ON, WHATS THE DIFFERENCE
FIGURES FIGURED FOR LOVE
FIGURES FIGURED IN LOVE


UNDER THE RUG
(Tracy Porterfield)

STINKING ENGLAND DIDN'T HELP US AT ALL
DEAD LA HAD NOTHING TO SAY
THINGS DON'T START THEY JUST HAPPEN
THOUGHTS WON'T BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG
ROCKABILLY REBELS WANT TO SHOOT 'EM ON SIGHT
WHAT A BORE WE NEED A WORLD WAR
DAY-GLO PARANOIA PARANOIA PSHYCHADELIA SUCKS
YOUR STUPID GENERATION IS OUT OF LUCK
UNDER THE RUG YOU'RE TRYING TO SWEEP US
UNDER THE RUG YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP US
UNDER THE RUG
I'D LIKE TO CRUSH YOUR SAFETY PIN HEADS
THROW AWAY YOUR BOTTLES AND BUY GUNS INSTEAD
YOU CAN TALK ABOUT A NEW WAY BUT IT'S THE SAME
YOU CAN DEAL ME OUT, I DON'T DIG THIS GAME
TALK ABOUT PUNK, YOU STUPID FOOL
ANOTHER TREND, ANOTHER DROWING POOL
YOU WANT A REVOLUTION, IT'S IN YOUR FACE
THE BEST FUCKING BAND TO PLAY THIS PLACE
UNDER THE RUG YOU'RE TRYING TO SWEEP US
UNDER THE RUG YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP US
UNDER THE RUG


EXECUTIVE LIFE
(Jim Kaa, Jim Decker, Tracy Porterfield)

TRAPPING YOURSELF IN A WELL OF WEALTH
YOUR LATEST AFFAIR I DID'NT THINK ANYONE WOULD DARE
EVERYONE LOOKS AS YOUR MERCEDES GOES BY
YOUR GOLD PLATED PEN IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND
EVERYTHING IS NEAT ON YOUR TENTH FLOOR SUITE
YOU'RE KILLING YOUR WIFE WITH EXECUTIVE LIFE
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT
TENNIS ON THE WEEKENDS AND YOUR PARTIES AT NIGHT
MONEY, OH MONEY, IS WHAT YOU'RE REALLY AFTER
SO YOU WROTE A CHECK JUST IN TIME
YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF WITH EXECUTIVE WEALTH
WELL, HAVE YOU FORGOT ABOUT YOUR KIDS
AND THE HOUSE WHERE NOBODY LIVES
WHAT ABOUT THE DOG YOU USED TO LOVE
LETTERS AND NUMBERS IS ALL YOU KNOW
YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF WITH EXECUTIVE WEALTH


FASTER THAN YOU
(Jim Decker)

THEY'RE SCREAMING REVOLUTION
INSIDE THE INSTITUTION
THEY'RE SELLING THEIR PAINTINGS
FOR A MILLION DOLLARS APEICE
AND ALL THE ONES YOU HATED
ARE ALL THE ONES YOU DATED
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER SONG
THAT I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO SING
YOU WANT TO DO IT YOUR WAY
HEY I SAY THAT SOUNDS OK
BUT WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER
DON'T COME CRYING ON MY SHOULDER
AND TELL ME ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
HEY MAN, LIKE I DON'T GOT 'EM
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM
SOME 29 YEAR OLD VIRGIN?
YOU SAID THIS IS THE ENDING
I SAID ITS MY NEW BEGINNING
I'M SPINNING AROUND TILL I HIT THE GROUND
YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING NOWHERE
LEFT ME AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
WELL IF I'M GOING NOWHERE
THEN I'M GOING NOWHERE FASTER THAN YOU


DARK DAY
(Jim Kaa)

TEMPTATION GLOWS WITH DOOM
UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT
DARK DAY
OBSCURITY OF MY OWN JUSTICE
NUMBERS OF A WRONG CIRCUMSTANCE
DARK DAY, DARK DAY
D.V.G.
FIRST IN THE UGLIEST FASHION
EVERY DAY I'M FOREVER REMINISCING


MR. MR.
(Jim Kaa)

SOME MEN IN THIS WORLD, THEY LIVE BY EVIL WAYS
SOME SLYLY MEN ARE LIVING OFF ME TO YOU
AND THIS IS TRUE OF MEN YOU KNOW AND LOVE
NOW MAKE NO MISTAKE MANY MEN ARE HAPPY THIS WAY
GIVE THEM YOUR TIME FOR THEY MUST HAVE LEISURE
WON'T PAY THE WAGES TILL YOU WITHER UP AND DIE
EVEN IN THIS PLACE WE MUST NOW PRAY
TO DRIVE THESE MEN FROM OUR PLACE, HOORAY
SLOWLY AND QUIETLY TO PUT THESE MEN AT EASE
NOW IS OUR TIME FOR PEACE AND UNITY
REPENT TO REVOLT AGAINST THOSE WHO USE
MURDER THE MAN WHO USED YOU THIS WAY


THE OTHER ONE
(Jim Decker)

I FELL IN LOVE AND I CAN'T FELL OUT
DIDN'T LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET
AND YOU RAN ME DOWN NO DANGER SIGNS OR WARNING SOUND
BEATING HEART I CAN'T CATCH MY BREATH
I'LL TURN THE CORNER ON A COLLISION COURSE
MY RADAR'S NO GOOD YOUR MAGNET PULLS TOO STRONG
I FELL IN LOVE, I FELL IN HATE
I FELL TOO FAR, TOO FAST, TO LATE
I FELL IN HELL WHEN I FELL UNDER YOUR SPELL
I FELL IN LOVE BUT AND I CAN'T FALL OUT
I TRIED MY BEST BUT I FAILED THE TEST
WITHOUT A DOUBT
LOVE IS FUN, WITH YOU IT'S GREAT
BUT ALL GOOD THINGS
COME TO AN END ... IN THE END
COME TO AN END ... IN THE END


TRIX ARE FOR KIDS
(Tracy Porterfield)

TACKY COMMERCIAL, IT ALWAYS GETS ME BUMMED
EVERY TIME I WATCH IT, THE RABBIT NEVER WON
HE LOOKS LIKE A HIPPY OR A GUY FROM SPACE
TRIES TO HIDE HIS EARS OR PAINT HIS FACE
SILLY RABBIT! TRIX, TRIX ARE FOR KIDS!
THEY ALMOST TRUST HIM, THOSE LITTLE BRATS
THEY SAY HELLO, COME IN RELAX
ALWAYS SOME KID TO SPOIL HIS TRICKS
JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT THE WORLD IS SHIT.
