share yer toys, my special friend with fur,
why don't you tell me what we're gonna do.
if we run on down to the chinese restaurant
we better plan to rumble, yessir.
cuz i got some enemies on the south side
b/c i made fun of somebody's ears,
they were so fucking ugly i couldn't help myself,
i guess fortune cookies aren't worth the tears.
a cactus is my plan when the orange gets too much for me,
don't make no sense, to make no sense
and i know the carpet is full of weird things,
so come here, and i'll brush the pubic hairs off your cheek.
get the camera,
share yer toys,
cuz you do with other boys,
or pick a fight,
kiss me dear,
i don't know,
i don't care,
it's all a blur...
(blahblahblah)
...share yer toys...

i'm a boy
and you're a girl
you got a boyfriend
but he's a fool
you got a mom and dad
a sister too
and a brother
but i am much more cool
i won't let you down
and i'll be around
to talk all night with you
and wear pajamas too
listen to the clash
make fun of white trash
and drink a lot of beer
so girl, can i be your girlfriend
let's meet
in a secret place
and paint each others' fingernails
i'll make sure
to shave my face
so it will be
as soft as silk
girl, can i be your girlfriend
oh dear, have no fear
your girlfriend is here
and he brought a lot of beer
to wipe away that tear
tell me all about your day
what'd that bastard boyfriend say
what'd that bastard boyfriend do
that motherfucker
is such a prick to you
so girl, can i be your girlfriend
can i be your girlfriend

Geriatric Luxury
02:09
|
|||
my gramma's crazy
yah, she's plumb insane
she got a gray afro on her head
but inside there's no more brain
she don't make no sense, no
she ain't got no teeth either
she when she don't make no sense, you know
you, like, can't understand her
but man she's got the life
don't have to remember anybody's name
and when it's time to eat
it's just a great big game
she turns the oven on just for fun
then goes and plays with kitties
sometimes we yell at her
but she's living in geriatric luxury
geriatric luxury

My Blue Velvet
02:50

i write you a letter every day
i call you on the phone every night
i think about all the time
you're the one that's on my mind
but why won't you leave me alone
i harass you every chance that i get
i stalk you everywhere that you go
i really do love you dear
how i wish that you were here
so why don't you leave me alone
my world is dead without your face
i just can't go on anymore
can't stand life without you
i love everything about you
but why don't you leave me alone
life sucks when you're not at my side
i cry and i cry to no end
i'm gonna end this pain so cruel
if you don't come to my rescue
but why won't you leave me alone

Stealing Babies

stealing babies like it was a board game
i'm not sure about 27 things today
and the 5th was you
and the 5th was you
stealing babies like it was a board game
i'm not sure about 27 things today
and the 5th was you
and the 5th was you
take a run on my boardwalk
it's not like me to offer that
to baby thieves
you know,
we never should have gone to the park
should've stayed home
in the dark
stealing babies like it was a board game
i'm not sure about 27 things today
and the 5th was you
and the 5th was you

flippant sporadicy
nailed good to the qualms
of your mothers and fathers
fuck
sit tightly on your nearly near wonder
fade soon shines into what
never did look quite real anyway
one could've guessed
my boy, your smiles have shoned
your smiles have shinned
your smiles have shined
and the soft skin
the crisp hairs
the murk
all of it
all of them
until you feel spinny
do not take the night to bed
do not rise
golden in silver
dry in dark
on the floor
kneel
of those you were born
so die now
still spinning
still flippant
still nailed
still smiling

Cabin
01:56
|
|||
the roof is leaking
the phone ain't ringing
i sit here alone in
home sweet home
but i stare into your eyes
through your skin and through my lies
think of all the time that's taking
home sweet home
a thousand options
once you removed your stockings
but i wouldn't let you go through it, no
home sweet home
you are really no one
and everyone that i've ever known
now the years just disappear in
home sweet home
there is a cabin
in the hills back in ohio
in the hills back in ohio
home sweet home
now the window's broken
but no one's caring
and the garbage floats into the sky, yah
home sweet home
i'm spending money
drink my scotch and miss somebody
pass out on the couch at night in
home sweet home
hit my head sometimes
in the morning i feel like wine
just another little reminder of
home sweet home
two thousand reasons won't let me run away
two thousand more say i can't stay another day in
home sweet home
