Sponge--Wax Ecstatic

My Purity


If I was dirt

That filled up your life

If I was dirt

So pure and so refined

I'd be the dirt that blackend all that shined 

Which one would show a purity

Which one would show how curious this purity has been 

My purity, my purity

My thoroughness, my purity

If I was dirt that would make you lie

Could I be the dirt in your irreverent smile

Please pass the dirt I'll have some on mine

Which one would show my purity

Which one would show how curious this purity has been

My purity, my purity

My thoroughness, my purity

Drag me down and plough me under nothing stays the same

Drag me down and plough me under nothing will ever change?

If I was the dirt you brought through the doorstep

And did that dirt leave you feeling molested

How was that dirt that you've ingested

Which one would show my purity

Which one would show how curious this purity has been

My purity, my purity

My thoroughness, my purity


Got to be a Bore


I hope my head will heal, I hope my head will heal

It's all I ever wanted to feel 

All well adjusted

I just can't feel this way anymore 

Feeling this way got to be a bore

I hope my head will heal, I hope my head will heal

It's problematic and compelling a corrupt disguise

I hope my head will heal, I hope my head will heal

A flaming martyr with the pangs of a Jesus Christ

It's all I ever wanted but I'm just so self destructive

I can't feel this way anymore

Feeling this way got to be a bore

So simple unassuming selfless human acts of grace

With a murdered ego I go surely this can't be vain

To know what you want knows the essence 

Of all insane as I am we are I am all all all insane


Wax Ecstatic


When things just aren't going your way

Like a problem hair you pluck or shave?

But shaving got to be a bore

And you deserve so much more 

And you happiness is just a purchase away

Angelina it'll fix your hunchback

Angelina it'll help your time pass

Angelina here's the forecast

Angelina it's science we never laugh

Here's something that is automatic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life is nothing less than tragic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life has lost all it's magic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life can't promise the fantastic

It's Wax Ecstatic

Thow all your troubles away

You'll have nothing left that you want to save

With this circus you'll need nothing more

And all your troubles walk out the door

And it's all just a phone call away

Angelina it'll fix your hunchback

Angelina it'll help your time pass

Angelina here's the forecast

Angelina it's science we never laugh

Here's something that is automatic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life is nothing less than tragic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life has lost all it's magic

It's Wax Ecstatic

When life can't promise the fantastic

It's Wax Ecstatic


The Drag Queens of Memphis


With a sparkle boot on the 

Grave of Elvis he shouted hey king I'm here, it's your queen

And it's been such a long time my friend

And I've brought a couple of beers

There's drag queens 

There's drag queens

In Memphis

With a giddy up and a rodeo with a killer

Detroit style and killer Detroit smilies

They had sparkles on their footsteps

You know they even had cowboys stuck in their eyes

There's drag queens 

There's drag queens

In Memphis

Otis, I can still hear you are you sitting out on the dock

The music will never stop

Sam and Dave said get ready

You know the rest said I'm comin' I'm comin' baby make it last

There's drag queens 

There's drag queens

In Memphis


I Am Anastasia


I found your name in a book and in

That book a letter, were the words of

A girl who said that she was lead away and

Left it for dead but somehow she survived it

How was it no one would belive that

You were part of their world a different world

One they denied you

If I could help you I would

Help you now you can speak through me

I am Anastasia

I'm haunted by a girl whose

Life's locked in these pages 

But through these words she will be free through

These words she will be free through

Me I know we won't forget her

She can speack through me

I am Anastasia


Silence is Their Drug


We, we can do anything why do they beat us down with their lies

They object us they reject us time after time then we ask ourselves

Why are we alive I can't hear anything 

They make silence their drug

We, we are everything

Why do they beat us down to their size

The better we fit the bigger 

They get and we justify their lousy experience

Why are we alive

I can't hear anything

They make silence their drug


Have You Seen Mary


If you see Mary please will you help her

She seems to be looking for answers

If you see Mary please will you help her

Her with questions that go unanswered

Like why does she feel all dead on the inside

But as a child she remembers feeling alive

And who was that man that made my mother cry

Was that my father, who was my father

If you see Mary please will you help her

She seems to be looking for answers

If you see Mary please will you help her

Her with questions that go unanswered

The men that walked into her life are no different than all the others

That promise the world and then they leave her

She says I should have know better, I should have known better

If you see Mary please will you help her

She seems to be looking for answers

If you see Mary please will you help her

Her with questions that go unanswered

Will she always be alone 

Why was there never a man in her home 

And will I end up like my mother by myself 

With no other with no other

If you see Mary please will you help her

She seems to be looking for answers

If you see Mary please will you help her

Her with questions that go unanswered


My Baby Said


She was a waitress but convinced 

She had been a dead movie star reincarnated to live the life of a queen

But the real scars she was nursing were not from her man but from a 

Beast of burden because in real life she could not live her dream

All day long he drove a cab for 30 years he was the man to take you anywhere 

that you pleased and for 30 years he would drive the world wild with his beat

Baby said she always was a dreamer 

She ain't scared with her hands up in the air she always was a dreamer

She's a superstar can't you see

Are stars made or are they born she's glamorous but so unknown 

And she's always so well recieved

Easy to love and easy to please


The Death of a Drag Queen


In heaven and made up she felt so cold

The thing she wanted was not hers to own

Somebody take me home

Please won't somebody take me home

One day she stole him into her dreams

Now behold it a love supreme

Here is a human in unusual form

Finds a mans man and now love adorns

Here comes the death of a drag queen

Pursed and tragic fully obscene

Funs her man up the lumberjack queen

While someone sits at home

While someone is alone

The death of a drag queen

With my murder style it will bring him home, home

Dried blood on make up and her skin all torn

A resurrection smile is the last thing she wore

She ain't never goin' home

The death of a drag queen


Velveteen


Delure

Sublime

Gigantic for all time and space

I wish for you the stars bow down

I wish for you their infinite crown

With this velveteen

I will surround

Keep this velveteen in your name

With this velveteen I will surround

I'll keep this velveteen in your name

I'll keep this velveteen from the rain

So long, sleep well

Your purity speaks well as you lay

With all these flowers in your bed

With all these flowers you had left to give away
