City Boy

I went up to the city
And I never came home
I work hard in that city
I work then I get stoned
I put a suit on in the morning
And tie my shiny shoes
I add together numbers
$9,548,332
You see, I act like a like it
And that's all I need to do
I refill my Swingline stapler
And I grab a glob of glue
I got some keys in my apartment
To open up your room
I'd like to steal your room

Octopus

Octopus, where you at?
Octopus, your face is flat
Octopus, swirl your ink
Octopus, you're on the brink
Octopus, use three hearts
Octopus, increase your cart
Octopus, buy some more
Octopus, there's water on your floor
Octopus, twirl your arms
Octopus, but risk no harm
Octopus, define my role
Octopus, then steal my soul
Octopus, destroy my notes
Octopus, right down your throat
Octopus, appendages: eight
Octopus, keeper of my fate

Kerosene Joe
04:38
|

|
He made love to the bottle instead of his wife
Worked the factory by day and the barstool by night
They called him Kerosene
'Cause he drank whisky and wine and beer in between kerosene
He fed whisky to kids and drank with all his might
He thought what was wrong was really what was right
"Take your money back and let's both throw one down
I'm growing so tall what is this thing you call the ground?"
"I make love to this bottle instead of my wife
I work that factory by day and this barstool by night"
"If you've been there before, you know what I mean
You get so drunk that all you need is kerosene"

Sometimes I get so bored
The recesses of my mind ignored
Tiny windows that you see
To me, are giant, gaping doors
Break his elbow, smash his head
Sometimes I think about
Falling through the air
But I must stick to this routine
It's so much safer staying here
Don't look in my grave
Don't dig up my grave
Don't try to save me
Because I cannot be saved
I'm a crazy little man
I'm a schizophrenic man
I may attempt to break both of your knees
While gently caressing your tiny hands
I may also break your elbow and smash your head

Steel Curtain
05:45
|

|
Larry came down the mountainside
He was stumbling and falling forward
His clothes were torn and his were glazed
With a look that said, "It's over"
Larry dove in the icy spring
With all the energy that he could muster
As he clung to the side of a mossy rock
His spirit lost its luster
Ambition had gotten the best of him
Overconfidence was his downfall
Larry was stubborn but had to learn
Of the power of the Man of the Mountain
The rocky slope and the angry sky
Made perilous travel certain
Larry tried hard but hit the wall
Face to face with the Steel Curtain

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
No. No. No.
Maybe? Maybe? Maybe?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Where? When? Why?
There. Then. Because.
Now, how soon?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

Flat Tire
03:34
|

|
Yesterday my tire went flat
My baby went for help but she never came back
She left me there on the side of the road
With nothing left but my brains and my bones
These days not sure who I am
Because only she made me feel like a man
I guess I'll replace this flat with a spare
But maybe it's my car that needs the repair
Stick out my chest and stick out my thumb
Gonna hitch a ride back from where I came from
Hot mama pulled over and took me away
I'm glad my tire when flat yesterday

Rasputin Hangover

I woke up drunk
Dee-ba-da-dobiddy-do
The day was in my way
Dee-ba-da-dobiddy-dee
Dee-ba-dobiddy-do
Dee-ba-dobiddy-dee
Dee-ba-dobiddy-do
I cleared my throat
Took off one of my boots
Shakin' the pain away
Stuck on these words I can't say
Cracked another brew
'Cause that's all I know how to do
Pickin' on the strings
Learnin' I knew I can't sing
Shakin' the pain
Pickin' the strings
Wishin' I could sing
Feelin' the funk
Drinkin' away the news
Stumblin' over the air
Singin' these hangover blues
I'm already drunk
Dee-ba-da-dobiddy-do
Days have passed me by
Dee-ba-da-dobiddy-dee
Dee-ba-dobiddy-do
Dee-ba-dobiddy-dee
Dee-ba-dobiddy-hey
I woke up drunk
