CATALOG OF KILLERS

goin faster than i’d like
but that don’t mean much anymore
might be strong enough to strike
but that don’t mean much anymore
make a rhythm you can ride
but that don’t mean much anymore
i have no influence to hide
but that don’t mean much anymore
here’s a catalog of killers
who treat living as a sport
but we’re all a buncha builders
pushing blueprints back and forth
i could still be left alone
but that don’t mean much anymore
i could find my way back home
but that don’t mean much anymore
scare the carnival away
but that don’t mean much anymore
fuck with howie hell to pay
but that don’t mean much anymore

COCAINE N THE PRIESTHOOD
04:32
|
|||
|
what can move me to rebel
romantic notions to compel
the specter of the great, the strong, the wise
a simple little twist of fate
a limb that can regenerate
disappear so irate, so wronged, despised
cocaine and the priesthood
chokechains you and me stood
scandalized by things that leave us blind
sad for nonbelievers
glad for the deceivers
vandalize the things we leave behind
we left it behind for a reason
what can move me to redeem
nightmares to become a dream
the vision of the loud, the bold at art
sympathy for demons who
also feel defeated too
division of the proud, the old at heart

THE MIDWEST
05:04
|
|||
|
in the middle of the floor
there are so many ways you can go
but one way to stay
you can stay
i saw my eyes in the midwest
translucent skies in the midwest
translucent skin in the midwest
when you begin in the midwest
i saw my face in the southeast
can’t find the pace in the southeast
can’d find a life in the southeast
without a wife in the southeas
i saw my blood in the southwest
depressing dud in the southwest
depressing dreams for the southwest
it’s as it seems in the southwest
i saw my breath in the northwest
planning my death in the northwest
planning to build up the northwest
artisan guidl of the northwest
i saw my hands in the northeast
made new demands in the northeast
made new disease in the northeast
do as you please in the northeast
baby you can go go if you want to
baby you can stay stay if you want to

BLOOD ALL OVER
03:33
|
|||
|
careful regression oldtime expression
did i bomb? i’m always thinkin
toasted the berries, tied up the cherries
washington, or was it lincoln?
oh what a nation, i;ve grown impatient
simpleton, no satisfaction
watch where yr steppin, put down yr weapon
did not mean for this reaction
how did it go when you were happy all the time
when there’s blood all over, don’t take it as a sign
pulleys and levers, oh yr so clever
how’d you know you’d get the answer?
what would you gimme to watch me shimmy?
thought you were such a good dancer
oh what a notion, swallow the ocean
burn the ships, the world is turning
watch what yr saying, the kids are playing
cleanse yr lips, the coal is burning
a sign of all the things to come
the maximum

SAD BASTARDS

sad bastards disaster
what are you gonna do
sad bastards go faster
the problem is you
old cowards in power
the problem is you
old cowards devoured
what are you gonna do?
we get the stupidest men for the stupidest times
the look in yr eye makes me wish i were wrong
but history proves that you might have a chance
everyone’s trying to speed it along
but history proves that they don’t have a chance
we made a countdown
made it urgent and real
we got some secrets
we can’t wait to reveal

GOD SAYS GO
04:47
|
|||
|
not catastrophic, not being honest
scoundrels rely on innocence
now wait a second, how do you reckon
all this sounds like dissonance?
everything seems right today
but you keep talking about death
everything seems right today
but i’m just wasting breath
cause i feel i could love today
and you jsut grit yr teeth
cause i feel i could love to day
there’s nothing underneath
when god says go ya go
(hey space cadet)
i feel i could care again
and you think that’s a lie
i feel i could care again
but i might just get by
all i see is beauty now
and you say it will burn
all i see is beauty now
and i might never learn

she’s glad that she’ll never be a man
she doesn’t wanna hear you say she tried the best she can
she’s ready and she’ll never be surprised
she’s tryna play humble as a style a disguise
i’m glad that i’m always fallin short
always keep you guessing like a weather report
and i can be performatively cruel
write it all down
and we can talk about politics
and we can talk about art
and we can come up with a new agenda
and fuck the matters of the heart
we’re glad that we’re fillin in the gaps
she cleanin up guts while i’m setting the traps
and now we know we’re never gonna pay
undressing is a blessing at the end of the day
fuck what matters

BOTTOM FEEDER
03:46
|
|||
|
tonight we dance with the boys
tonight we drink with the girls
tonight we cast magic spells
and make love to to world
a million reasons to divide deny
a million different reasons to say why’d we try
i’ve got another role for you
you know i can’t stay mad at you
swee dee dee oh swee dee dee
a bottom feeder
a feckless leader
so tell them all you don’t consent to be led
a bad depiction
a battered fiction
so tell them all you don’t believe what you said
today we live for tonight
today we forget the past
today we say it’s enough
and tell them all it won’t last
a million reasons to ignite, ignore
a million different reasons this has happened before
i’ve got another role for you
you know i can’t be true with you
shake it out of circumstance
(from second best to second chance)
you can really start to move
(once you have nothing left to prove)
don’t respond and don’t react
(you’ll be judged by the way you act)
if things don’t go the way they should
it’s fun to be misunderstood

WHACHU 'FRAID OF
04:42
|

|
bedside holsters
and drinks on coasters
what you afraid of man?
dalai lamas
and upset mamas
what you afraid of man?
makin some plans like they told you you should
you can see rubble where buildings once stood
magnificent hero crying in the dust
grieves for his death, cause his life was a bust
must be tragic
to trust in magic
we must be logical
must be logical
eatin some pork
and leavin new york
what you afraid of man?
a brand new chariot
and judas iscariot
what you afraid of man?
keep in the corner til you learn to behave
cause yr squeaking like a bat in the back of a cave
shadows worn down by the weariness of life
i don’t need a gun cause i’ve got a knife

WRONG PEOPLE
05:54
|
|||
|
someone said
someone said they’d help you
i sympathize so well
the wrong people in the wrong position
the worst position at the worst time
the wrong people with the wrong ambition
cause yr ambition is the worst crime
it doesn’t always end this way
water through our hands today
and we won’t rest our bones tonight
magazines and birds in flight
someone said
someone said they’d help you
i sympathize so well
you said
you said i get it
let’s leave the past behind
its so wrong
it’s the worst
