Econoline (Straight to Your Heart From Mine)
I need a place to go
I need a place to land
I’m feeling really helpless
I need a helping hand
I’m just a roadsick cowboy
I’m just a candle Christ
I need you here beside me honey
I’m getting really psyched
I’m gonna climb on your back
Comin’ up the freeway
Comin’ up the turnpike
Comin’ down the exit
Comin’ home to you
Comin’ up the alley
Comin’ up the stairway
Comin’ down the hallway
Comin’ home to you
Open your door
Open your eyes
Open your vault
You know I’m comin’ home
Open your eyes
Open your arms
Open your heart
You know I’m comin’ home
Comin’ home [oh-om!]
HONEY I'M HOME

The Burning Ladder

Burning Ladder
Readin’ the road like parchment, readin’ signs
I got to feel under skin, something movin’
I come across her on a curve, disappearin’
Bare shoulder, stone sepulchre, instant healin’
Yeah we live half a million years until we know
That it will never change
Eternity
Eternity
Each night we climb the burning ladder
Reach so high we’ve lost the ground
You must beware the striking adder
Striking fangs bring you down
Look over there a jealous godhead
Evil gaze beneath the palms
There is no way I’d let you suffer
Secret cave a gnostic calm
What can we do, we’re shadows scattered
Across the desert half-deranged
Beneath the sun we rush through eons
Until we know
It can never change
Never never change
They’ll cut you up in pieces, laughing jackals
The jumpin’ demon’s laughter, bitter shackles
They put the curse under skin and leave it burnin’ there
As in a dream, I have to fly out of my skin
Through the burning burning burning air
This road to heaven passes through a land of plagues
My lover leads me to her heart in the next world
And it will never change

Stay Calm
Be!
Be!
Stay calm
Stay calm
Stay calm when you’re overworked
Stay calm when you’re getting jerked
Just be when you’re getting aced
Just be when you’re getting iced
Just be, just be like me
Just be, be all you can be
I said, be
Be!
Stay calm
Just be
Don’t worry about anything
Just gotta, just gotta, just gotta
Stay calm
Don’t get carried away
Relax

He killed her dreams with a blind cc
He said, “She’s got no balls”
Her name, it tumbled from the heights
And crumbled in the hall
Climb up the ladder
Through the smog
This world is dog eat dog eat dog
Rat rat rat eat cat
Rat eat rat rat eat rat
Rat eat cat rat eat cat
Cat eat rat rat
Rat rat eat cat
Cat eat cat cat eat cat
Rat eat rat feed on that
Feed on gnats gnat on rat
Rat on rat
Rat rat rat
She killed him with a letter knife
She always had some class
She said as she watched the blood spurt out
“I kicked your ass!”
Climb up the ladder
Through the smog
Leave behind this dog on dog kills dog

Her Confession

Her Confession
Well she’s comin’ down the hallway, says she feels abandoned
She’s walkin’ in the garden where she always feels alone
Rememberin’ the ocean, says you caught her dreamin’
She’s caught up in reflection, she does a little singin’
Singin’ about nothing as she’s walkin’ past your door
Petty vices wash me clean
She says oh oh oh oh yeah
Talk about compulsions, about to make a breakthrough
Listen to the voices, they’re sinkin’ like a stone
Cuts her index finger — says it’s really bleedin’
Ah you wonder if she’s teasin’, comin’ up the stairway,
Comin’ down the hallway, she leans against your door
Stupid choices keep me whole
She says oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah!
Yeah!

Living Hell
These walls are too fuckin’ thin
I can’t let it get to me
I know she’s in there with him
And they’re rollin’ around on the floor
I can’t let it get to me, I can’t it get to me
Someday you’re gonna pay, we’re gonna pay
Someday we’re gonna pay
Because I can hear you moan
I can hear you moanin’ and squirmin’
Doesn’t make me happy
Doesn’t make me happy at all
Not yet
Not yet
I can’t let it get to me, I won’t let it get to me
Everything we’ve said and we done
Everything is fucked
But I’m gonna end it
I’m gonna end it all
You’re gonna feel it
I’m down in hell
I’m livin’ down in hell
Someday you’re gonna feel it

LAME
Nobody comes, nobody’s coming
Cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
Nobody
Because I’m small I’m all alone
Because I’m…
Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky!
Rocking horse!
Rocking horse!
Back and forth and back and forth
Back and forth, back and forth
He stands in the dark
Nobody gives a shit
When they get back
They hit and they hit and they hit and they hit
Coming down the basement beating on the bone
Coming down the stairs and beating on the bone
Bone on bone bone on bone
Because I’m small I’m all alone
Because I’m lame
Mister mister mister mister mister
Somebody’s coming
All alone
Dark dark
Mister mister
Rocking horse!
Rocking horse!
But back and forth in the basement he rides
On his rocking horse he tries, he tries
He’s there in the dark
Nobody give a shit
When they get back
They hit and they hit and they hit and they hit
Monsters are real
Monsters are real
All, all alone
All, all alone

Watching a Diver
Kiss it goodbye, it’s a bad memory
She walks into the den
Then she walks out again
She walks into the lounge
She looks around
She walks into the store
Can’t take it anymore
She walks into the theater
Things will get better
She thinks, things will get better
She walks out of the theater
Thiings are a little bit better
Well sometimes you gotta
You gotta cast it away
Because it’s just a bad memory
Cast it, cast it, cast it, cast it…
Away!
She walks down
Down to the river
She watches a diver
She walks down to the ocean
She’s goin’, goin’, goin’
Cast it away it’s a bad memory
Kiss it goodbye
Cast it, cast it, cast it, cast it…
Away!
Gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna
Cast it away
