"Imagine Driving a Car"
("i'll stand and wish
tell me it's something i'll miss
help me, i'm losing my shit")

sonic holiday
love the engine
six paths to paranoid
she's in my other trunk
run the engine
six paths to paranoid

"Dead Friends in the Sun"
today is my birthday
i need a new dress and a noose
when i die, oh lord when i go away
bury me underneath the christmas tree

dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun

i was a little sister
and it was a fine, fine thing
and when all things die this winter
i still won't care about a thing

dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun
dead friends in the sun

i was a little sister
and it was a fine, fine thing
and when all things die this winter
i still won't care about a thing


"Morbid Gossip and Death were in the Sky"
salvation is not real
don't laugh me down
until i'm forced to feel
don't laugh me down
in a bus on the side of the road
going down in red
currencies of desire
safe in your drugged dreams

don't laugh me down
don't laugh me down
salvation is not real
don't laugh me down
until i'm forced to feel
don't laugh me down
until i'm raped by pigs (wake up!)
don't laugh me down

he was her man
and i hate cutting her off
don't laugh me down
don't laugh me down
salvation is not real
don't laugh me down
until i'm forced to feel
don't laugh me down


"Psychological Survival"
never felt so clean
never felt so calm in my life
lovers of hate destroying the faces
it's great to be alone
it's a gigantic joke
they say that fake eyes
are better than the real ones

there will always be time
to burn like fire
hold me still, please
marry me on T.V.
this one turned on me
and this one still loves me
she could be anyone
a murderer, a friendly stare

i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself
i don't love myself


"Doin' the Desperation Dance"
the aging rib
with words that aren't mine
a man with the x-ray eye
i worked and shit today
no time for a boy to pray
let's fight on staircases
that makes us real religious

we're doing the desperation dance
the desperation dance
we're doing the desperation dance
the desperation dance

there's a looseness in my temple
they're having sex with bandages
and the teeth are like sculptures
because zeus was a sculptor
somewhere there's a treasure
it could be near the desert
we're having apples for dessert
why can't this snake swim

why can't this snake swim
why can't this snake swim
it's probably you, not him
you should teach him how to swim
you should teach him how to swim
you should respect this land
you should respect this man
you should respect


"Horse Sense"
and sometimes i don't know what songs to sing to you
and sometimes i can't tell what's on your mind
and sometimes i think you take too long to speak to me
and sometimes i am able to find the floor fine

and sometimes i think there's something wrong me
and sometimes i find that life is a short time
and sometimes i hear you say it's hard to believe
then you cry
when you hear them saying i'm a poor child

and sometimes i can feel them catching on to me
and sometimes i can ignore them for awhile
and sometimes i think everybody's lying to me
and sometimes it's possible that i have gone blind
and sometimes we bring ourselves to our knees
and sometimes we like the sound of each other's cries
and sometimes i hate how we look with arms reached
and sometimes we close our eyes to find a way out


"Gold Water"
in the twilight glow i see her
love, i only had it in december
hold these memories
with the ancients i remember

blue light's fine in the rain
blue light's fine in the rain

now my ears have turned to silver
all my love i've loved in vein
i can see her stormy weather
blue lights coming in the rain

someday we will be together
we'll come hand in hand again
(blue light's coming in the rain)

in the wind where ghosts come together
(blue light's coming in the rain)
blue light's coming in the rain
(blue light's coming in the rain)
