blonde fair well king

i caught a fish right down ashland street
the feds tried to rip me but i got them one beat
scaring kids and stomping on feet
there ain't much of nothing coming from the concrete these days
these days
oh no i've got laundry to do
oh no i've got laundry to do
corpses creek
bloody leak
and fucking everyone that you meet
i've got positive sight
intentions to enlight
the demons of fatigue
come to wrap up everything
i've come to rely and to reply to your standard mail
that always fails in the air
and we will meet some day and i will beat you to a pulp, oh it's true
and i will vote conservative, blonde fair well king
this is the end of the song

grace (take two)
03:46
|

i cannot make the scene
shine as brightly as it did to me
she walked so gracefully
holding her arms out straight to me
oh heavenly thing
now i see what this means to me
i know these needs
i can meet
daffodil flowers surround everything
i hope she'll come find me
in forest room one seventeen
she'll smile so warmly
and she'll say this song's about me

my doctor
02:14
|
|||
my doctor said that im gonna need some surgery
so something's wrong and it wont be gone by just waiting
but im not scared for the wear and tear of my body
and the doctor's scares increase the fares of his taxi
so im just gonna play it off like hes just doing his job
ive seen my doctor, gone, and go grabassing
yeah hes a human being he likes fucking just like me
i cant take what he is prescribing me
because hes not me and hes got not control over what i do
everybody's just doing their job

planet earth
01:12
|
|||
i love this planet earth
id be sad if it changed for the worse
i realize what its worth
no i dont have this rehearsed
didnt plan a single word
wont go and let it go unheard
that's talking and theres verse
with no meaning immersed
just language packed and terse
til the coming of the hearse
|

theres a whole lot coming right this way
pull out those weapons as fast as you may
troop four please go deploy your shit
we got kong coming straight to our transmit
our bodies not our souls coming back from the sea
watching moms cry for a dad's heartbeat
i can feel that i am getting weak
there is no hope there is only lucky

missing girl
01:08
|
|||
she went missing just about a week ago
she probably aint coming back
but who knows the police are reaching a gypsy
the legend says that she's got the knack
the pi said he'd be right on it right after the current murder case
theres hope for nothing
im telling you something
i could tell it by the look on his face
the family is undergrieved
they havent got a lot to say
the dad has said its unfortunate
but its one less tuition to pay

soldier's hope
04:33
|

stuck in the swamp
lets wash ourselves out by the lake
i wont sacrifice it
we got struck down by the quake
i wont have no fighting
as long as you are awake
is there any way
to make it out alive?
cuz i was hoping
to make it out alive

later, dudes!

tossed aside
the banner alive
with concrete to grasp
to ensure you survive
and i will hang there
and give you a big scare
flipping and slipping and dripping with grime
seizures abound from the rope to the mayor
and i will swing and hang there

billygoat
00:57
|
|||
the billygoat squeals
blood thirsty meals
we are a family of farmers
conservative leans
overall jeans
we'll take a gun to the mormons
incestuous taste
rip of dark lace
feeling among the family
we are the creepsters
that cause all the weepers
in the deepest and darkest of stories
