Those Teeth

I swear it's so
Goddamn impossible
To remember to
Control my temper
If I ask you to go
I'm already in the hole
If I ask you to go
I'm already in the hole
And even when I hit the wall
I love you
Those teeth don't quit
Psych hospital for a bid
A young man comes in
Wearing nothing but a grin
If I ask you to go
I'm already in the hole
If I ask you to go
I'm already in the hole
So count to 10, Tootsie Roll
I love you

Mudflap Girl

I don’t believe in mudflap girl
Her long blonde hair and arched back
Are just symbols of someone’s ideal
I don’t believe they’re real
She never says a word to me
But riding, I get stuck beside her
In somebody else’s car
I’ve never felt so far
Away from the steering wheel
Away from the rear-view mirror
I can’t tell if she makes a difference
My gut says she don’t
I don’t believe in mushroom man
He's strained too many soups and now
He’s breathing watered down concerns
That nobody returns
I don’t believe in flaming Jesus
Or in her lipgloss caption freezing
To a box of saffron ramen
Stashed beneath your seat

Dirty white bricks on the brain
I need to get put down just as fast as I can
I need to get put down just as fast as I can and
I ain't fucking around, no
I ain't fucking around
Oh, I will take you there
Bad boy all in my veins
I need to get put down just as fast as I can
I need to get put down just as fast as I can and
I ain't fucking around, no
I ain't fucking around
Oh, I will take you there
You're goddamn right, I will take you there

From the Brat
02:32

I’ll admit to it that I picked a bad girl
You can file it under things that I did wrong
Didn’t fit into her image of this world
It was never gonna last for very long
C’mon Wesley, I learned that
From the brat
I’ll admit to it that I picked a bad crowd
It was never gonna last for very long
Crankin’ up until it got to be a little too loud
Breakin’ up until you didn’t even hear a song
C’mon Wesley, I learned that
From the brat

You’ve got a way of getting your way
Or so it seems now don’t it?
That’s alright, you know that I don’t mind
I copped and put seven down last night
‘Cus I felt just that rotten
Morning came to my surprise
You can’t be serious
No, you can’t be serious
Girls and boys will
Shake their hearts awake
Living in fear that you’re
Not even real is a waste
Rock n' Roll is a white lie
But I’d do about anything to fill that hole
'Cus I’ve seen the tears you were trying to hide
That’s alright, you know that I don’t mind
You’ve gotta be curious
Yeah, you’ve gotta be curious
Girls and boys will
Shake their hearts awake
Living in fear that you’re
Not even real is a waste

Claw Machine
02:31
|
|
||
|
Your arm's looking strong
But they're made of weak steel
Loose as a goose slipping in between
I wish your arm was strong
But they're made of weak steel
Please don't let go with the claw machine
Oh, what can I do?
Through all the madness
I could see a glimmer of gold
I'm holding on to you
Gonna come in close
Your arm's looking strong
But they're made of weak steel
Loose is a goose slipping in between
I wish your arm was strong
But they're made of weak steel
Please don't let go with the claw machine

Dear Cleveland
02:43

Plight of others would astound you
Even though it’s Saturday
Have respect for those around you
Riding on the RTA
Riding on the RTA
Take your trip in half an hour
Or go back and forth all day
You’ll end up at Terminal Tower
Riding on the RTA
Riding on the RTA
You know I will take you there
You know I will take you there
You know I will take you there
Dear Cleveland
Let us not forget what matters
And let us not give it away
When it creaks and when it clatters
Riding on the RTA
Riding on the RTA

Victor Quaalude
02:28

Among the whitewashed
Living room piles
Lurks a loathing
Learning to crawl
While the scarabs
Sing their ugly song
While the scarabs
Sing their ugly song
Crabapples, the grass grows
The grass grows
Crabapples, the grass grows
The grass grows
Victor Quaalude drinks
Up all the gin
Victor Quaalude's falling
Down the stairs
Victor Quaalude's haunted
By the past
It is too bad no
One really cares
Crabapples, the grass grows
The grass grows
Crabapples, the grass grows
The grass grows

Mandy Mallard

Mandy was a mallard
She was quite unlike
Any other
Her feathers were down
And I would chase her
Around the pond
Sometimes she'd fly up north
To make me fly off course
Of course
I knew where I could find her
Every other day
She'd be bathing in the
Sun's rays down on
Louis Stokes way
Mandy's still a mallard
She's still quite unlike
Any other
Her feathers are brown
And I will chase her
Around the pond
Sometimes she'll fly up north
To make me fly off course
Of course
I know where I can find her
Every other day
She'll be bathing in the
Sun's rays down on
Louis Stokes way

No Pleasing' Some
03:14
|
|||
|
Got knocked flat
On my ass, I paid for that
Then got kicked
In the junk and paid for it
The money's gone
But the blame is passed along
From son to son and there
Is no reason
Love is tough
First you cannot get enough
And when you do, it's
Already done with you
The lovin's gone
But the pain is passed along
From son to son and there
Is no pleasin'
The lovin's gone
But the blame is passed along
From son to son and there
Is no reason

Goodie Gumdrops
02:30
|

|
The world melts away
Falls apart oh goodie gumdrops
And they said the sun would
Never shine again and
They were right
Lookin' up through
Dark sunglasses
She's so bright
Hey kids, where's your
Piano wire
Shouldn't it be wrapped
around my throat?
I hate you 'cus
You love me now
I play like violence until
It's still not moving
Go ahead and-
Take your nightmare eyes
And look into the pit
You'll see me there
And I'll be shining
Starving for the mountains
Could not be more far away
Might never look her in the eyes again
The light's been gone a longtime that's why
I'm all sad faces
And they said the sun would
Never shine again and
They were right
Lookin' up through
Dark sunglasses
She's so bright
