The Governor
04:19
|
|||
Soft and fine
like sand caught in my eye
come the signs
comes a time
to summon the governor
Rest and wine
won't calm my racin' thoughts
warm mineral springs
won't unwind
summon the governor
the governor inside
Engage
Engage
Fiber and blood
these rags buried in my soul
Damn my speed
My capitol crime
Summon the governor
The governor inside
Engage
Engage
Engage the that device
that will keep it all from burnin' up
Engage the mechanism
that will hold me at home
Summon the governor
Summon the governor
Summon the governor
The governor inside
To grant me a pardon
Grant me a pardon
Grant me a pardon
Grant me a pardon

Bridge Hater Song
03:24
|
|||
Tear down that old bridge
it's an eyesore they say
Tear down that old bridge
it's not safe anyway
Tear down that old bridge
it was not meant to last
Tear down that old bridge
it belongs in the past
Tear down that old bridge
it's the business i'm in
Tear down that old bridge
it's a game i must win
Tear down that old bridge
cause you know i'm so clever
Tear down that old bridge
i been wanting to forever
(and i hate Christie Weber)
Tear down that old bridge
oh i beg you my lord
Tear down that old bridge
cause i'm horny and bored
Tear down that old bridge
cause my life's in a rut
my only son hates me
and my daughter's a slut
Tear - down - that - old - bridge
help me gently free it from the shore
Tear - down - that - old - bridge
i don't want to see it any more
Tear down that old bridge
it's just a pile of old junk
Tear down that old bridge
man it looks like it's drunk
Tear down that old bridge
it's all rusted and ratty
Tear down that old bridge
it reminds me of daddy
Tear - down - that - old - bridge
help me gently free it from the shore
Tear - down - that - old - bridge
i don't want to see it any more
i don't want to
don't want to see it
see it
any more

Seeing Things
03:32
|
|||
I've been seeing things more clearly now
I'm so much more aware
It's all coming into focus
Like that lion over there
Well I used to be afraid of him
But now I've grown up wild
Running laughing in the sunlight
as he eats my unborn child, yeah
I've been seeing things more clearly now
I'm much more in control
All my demons grow white fur
And jump back down the rabbit hole
Yes I'm seeing things more clearly now
I'm so much more aware
It's all coming into focus like that bunny over there
Once I loved the cookie monster
But he turned into a toad
So I smashed him with my car
And left him mangled by the road
Well he had a running start
But he just could not pass the test
Bastard never loved me anyway
So it's all for the best, yeah
Now I'm driving the tin man
down the yellow brick road
And my motor's so hot
that I'm ready to explode
But I'm seeing things so clearly now
I'm so much more aware
It's all coming into focus like that munchkin over there, yeah

I Never Will
03:01
|
|||
My little sinner
My unfaithful spouse
Prepared a big dinner
in the devil's house
picked out the entre
came in for the kill
Now god might forgive ya
but i never will
You sharpened the cutlery
You laid out the feast
you served up our marriage
as a meal for the beast
carved out my heart
chewed and swallowed your fill
Now god might forgive ya
but i never will
I never will
I never will
When your sins are all but forgotten
they'll torment you still
Cause God might forgive ya
but i never will
I hope it was worth it
Your cute little gag
take your just deserts
in a doggie bag
my ghost will see to it
that you pay the bill
Cause God might forgive ya
but i never will
I never will
I never will
When your sins are all but forgotten
they'll torment you still
Cause God might forgive ya
but i never will
God might forgive ya
but i never will

This Band Sucks
05:09
|
|||
Well i'm hangin out in the shadows
standin here in the back
when up there front and center
is a girl all dressed in black
she's standin all by her lonesome
groovin there on her own
movin to the music
that's borin me to the bone
Wanna walk right up to her
wanna buy her a beer
wanna walk right up and tell her
"Let's get the hell outa here
This band sucks. Let's go fuck"
This music does not rock me
This music has no balls
No fire, no smoke, no lightnin
No thunder at al
That song was fucking stupid
and this one's even dumber
and who's that asshole singin?
and where's the fuckin drummer?
This band sucks. Let's go fuck
And the singer goes
"three blind mice, three blind mice
see how they run, see how they run
they all ran after the farmer's wife
she cut off their tails with a carving knife
haver you ever seen such a sight in your life
as three blind mice, three blind mice?
Now i'm walkin right up behind her
im tappin her on the back
she turns around, sez, "yeah what?"
i see she's got quite a rack
i say "you look like you rock, girl
like you and i could get busy
that singer really bugs me
he's not your boyfriend, is he?"
She says, "no, not really. Got a car?
This band sucks. Let's go fuck"
Yes she did, she said
"This band sucks. Let's go fuck"

Too High
04:19
|
|||
All you wanted was the holy land
All you needed was a few good men
All you wanted was a wild weekend
All you needed was to take command
My, my we're out of touch
Too high
Too high
Too high
All you wanted was a home in the sky
All you needed was a tight alibi
All you wanted was a blanket of night
to shelter your eyes from the dawn's
early light
Now, now you're out of time
Too high
Too high
Too high
You know a little red wine
will stain just like blood
to hide the evidence spattered
on your white bearskin rug
you're floating on a fallacy
you think you're so high classed
but you can take all your riches
and shove em up your glorious past
All you wanted was the holy land
All you needed was a few good men
All you wanted was a wild weekend
All you needed was to take command
To take command
Take command
Myyyy, my we're out of touch
Too high
Too high
Too high
Too high
Too high
Too high
Now you're comin
Now you're comin down

Wish You Would Die
03:22
|
|||
Wake at sunrise
black are my thoughts
Evil, my friend
wants to rend what you wrought
Not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Vengeful feelins
comin on strong
You traded true love
for somethin so wrong
Not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Round about midnight
black are my thoughts
i would do it myself
if i couldn't get caught
Cause not a day goes by
When i don't wish you would die
Not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
If demons are real
they be right over there
if wishes were poison
ah you better beware
cause not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Scream bloody
Call on the cops
and think of me
while your temperature drops
Cause not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Not a day goes by
when i don't wish you would die
Did you hear what i said?
I'll never rest til you're dead.

My Troubled Mind
04:00
|
|||
Out all night, dead all day
Out all night, dead all day
Out all night, dead all day
Won't make the world go away
Can't seem to ease my troubled mind
Drunk on liquor, high on pills
Drunk on liquor, high on pills
Drunk on liquor, high on pills
Neither one can cure my ills
Can't seem to ease my troubled mind
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop
Ba-dada
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop
Ba-dada
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop
Ba-dada
Got wheels to drive, got a gun to shoot
Wheels to drive, a gun to shoot
Wheels to drive, a gun to shoot
Ain't no good substitute
Only my baby can ease my troubled mind
Out all night, dead all day
Out all night, dead all day
Out all night, dead all day
Won't make the world go away
Can't seem to ease my troubled mind
Only my baby can ease my troubled mind

Steel Bridge Song
03:18
|
|||
A fire ahead, a fire behind
and cool cool water runnin down below
A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel
that i can cross over, whichever way
i must go
Memories and anticipation
it's all a little fuzzy
it all goes by so fast
Memories and anticipation
maybe nothin stands forever
but it seems these beams
were meant to last
This bridge won't burn
though with every heartache
in defiance i have tried
This bridge won't burn
even when there's nothin
but fire on either side
A fire ahead, a fire behind
and cool cool water runnin down below
A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel
that i can cross over, whichever way
i must go
This bridge won't burn
though with every heartache
in defiance i have tried
This bridge won't burn
even when there's nothin
but fire on either side
