Intro II 02:01
2.
Show me the man Who knows where the east ends Where is the man Content with the plain Sunrise sitting Ain’t doin’ nothing Unconditionally Something to see Pieces of me Fading away dissolving Into steam Steam and speed and seams And songs sung mean I mean it hun Blonde and dark under the sun I should’ve told you that You can’t look at it But I know you will You can’t look at it Doggerel shit But better still to loose the noose Dejected and misused are you Hey boy they’re coming for you
3.
The Down Low 02:39
Well what’s that you say? They’re gonna give it away Hey hey hey We’re living day to day I receive no sympathy It’s just here to ease your grief Diluted vice You’re not as nice As the screen you don wants me to believe Think we made a mistake We’re back in the same place Well let’s just do it again We’ve got this far on faith that You will find something like a child Who will not go softly Without a fight Just one more night Whatcha gonna do with sober mourning Gonna up and up end
4.
Queen 02:12
I’m slithering in the country I’ve got my eyes on a queen Yeah, I’ve got my eyes on a queen I’m gonna give her a treat Take a bite of something sweet And then give it to me Now I’m walking in the big city There goes my queen She took a bite of something Took a bite of something sweet Now she’s nothing to me There goes my queen There goes the scene There goes my queen There goes the dream There goes my queen She’s nothing to me
5.
Man Ray 02:50
Mickey said that it had gone to his head He better try it again Pa looked it up and down all over again Your odds are dismal at best Ain’t got no mess to impress today But I couldn’t give it away So then he took to the way That led on over to Jane’s He wouldn’t make that mistake When shooting fast and dealing Bailing on hay The discourse never do fade Her face she knew those games And said I could not find a thing Janie was dead The bullet came from some friends Favored in tall square back dread Come on man bring it on over again Mickey boy gonna descend Into that black hole head And then I couldn’t even try to make sense of it
6.
Sitting in the old neighborhood For the first time in a while since you felt understood You had to run away from all of that baggage You had to run to the hills to get your head straight You said Now you’re sitting on the stoop Feeling the ID of it The little pebbles that make up the big concrete strip You’re tied to it whether you like it or not What you can’t climb ain’t what you should be wasting your time with I could sing all about it From my one inch stage I could rhapsodize and harmonize About days calling out from the grave Songs like whorls in the grain Crashing chord curve of the wave The forever rise and fall of distant unheard melodies The jagged peaks sing their crooked lines Why can’t I find the time to carve some of mine But I’ll sing all around it Shouting out from beyond the grave We could talk talk about it Until I’m up on my self-made one inch stage I can’t find it So wrapped up in all the tools you used I’m stuck in between
7.
Repose 03:03
I can’t say I know so I guess I’ll ask you why So adamant was the American Who wanted to move to Rhode Island soon And when he did he forgot all his things Now the Atlantic is home It’s cold but don’t you know that it’s incomplete And that’s the price of being intact So what are you supposed to do? Find another half? No create man Make a flesh cast And once filled share that What’re we working for? Where is our repose? I wanted it to change me Now I wouldn’t use it I’m too lazy So I’ll go along nameless The party’s the day’s end It used to mean we’d done something Now it’s all that we do Versatile in a liquid state You could have carved that pool out of concrete You can stand there and look at the abyss forever The genius of the shore Standing on the pier Just wishing for a bridge The beams and trusses are right there But you don’t know how to use them Do you Go back and learn for a while But you better come back
8.
BDTH 02:47
Watch out You might get what you’re after Boom babies Strange but not a stranger I’m an ordinary guy Burning down the house Hold tight Wait til the party’s over Hold tight We’re in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house Here’s your ticket pack your bag Time for jumping overboard Transportation is here Close enough but not too far Maybe you know where you are Fighting fire with fire All wet Hey you might need a raincoat Shakedown Dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty five degrees Our house Is out of the ordinary That’s right Don’t wanna hurt nobody Some things sure sweep me off of my feet Burning down the house
9.
Metal Mouth 03:10
I am starting from under I have been slummin like a dog in the rain What you call charisma What they call enigma I just call it aftershave Steel box stomper Steel wire chompin’ Punk with a face and a name Stupid mister know-it-all Chew ya, metal mouth Hey you in the back You get off your ass, and come down here Put your head against the bass amplifier Don’t mind if we turn it louder ‘Cause we’re turning it louder And louder Gonna serve ya some punk with a face and a name There’s a billboard with a simple phrase A gospel for your novocain Alcohol you got the job Now solve all my problems What you got against me? Do I detect some envy? Sorry if I shred and you don’t But man I ain’t no window shopper You got it and I want it Please oh please don’t make me ask it again Hey you with the face You get off your ass, and come down here Put your head against the bass amplifier Don’t mind if we turn it louder ‘Cause we’re turning it louder And louder This is punk with a face and a name
10.
What did you see? Did you see me Lying faceless in the cold? What could you have said? My good friend I’ll see you before long You might not think it’s worth it Until it’s gone away You might not think you earned it Take it day to day Where did you go? I oughta show The bitter roll they’re calling for How are you My little blue Through and through You might not think it’s perfect See you on the other side But if it’s really worth it You’ll find another place
