Back to My Old Ways
03:22
|

Bedroom smells like cat piss today
cat piss in every facet of my brain
Sitting on an empty basket of eggs
My friends tell me that's just the way
The world is passing me by
I know how to act like i'm fine
I wish I could go back in time
Now I'm just back to my old ways
I made $100.50 today
Selling old comics and dusty 78's
You came and you took it all away
Gave me a shovel to dig my own grave

Miserable Schemes
03:12
|
|||
Aren't you so official?
Up there in your temple
I'm down here in my rental
Can't you meet me in the middle?
I'm having these terrible dreams
Imagining terrible things
Unlimited potential
Fur coats and credentials
I'm down here pushing pencils
Can't you loosen up a little?
I'm having these terrible dreams
Imagining terrible things
You're devising such miserable schemes
To chase invisible things

Mind's Eye
03:34

I want to be a slob today
I'm not going to my job today
I'm not running with your mob today
I just want to rot away
I can't get enough sleep
I'm trapped inside of my sheets
It's 4pm at the least
I still haven't brushed my teeth
My mind's eye closed a long time ago
Ask me to do anything I probably won't
You should forget everything I said
I'm hopelessly alive probably better off dead
It's not even 1
I am already drunk
I haven't gone to work in a month
I haven't even showered once
The phone is ringing off the hook
No creases on the spines of my books
I could give a shit for my looks
This feeling's really got me shook
My mind's eye closed a long time ago
Ask me to do anything I probably won't
You should forget everything I said
I'm hopelessly alive probably better off dead
Same old dirty clothes
Don't want to see anyone I know
I won't brush my hair
I can't force myself to care

Stupid Ape
02:45
|

A basic human ape
A canon on his waste
You want to put him in his place
But you can't say shit to his face
You want a little taste
Before it goes to waste
You want to make him pay
But he'll rearrange your face
You could always take that chance
But you might take it to the grave
He's so big and dumb
But he's got his gun
You think about revenge
and the things you'd do to him
You could beat him senseless
But then you're the same as him

The Wheels are in Motion
02:09
|

Enjoy the view in your new shoes
Get an I.O.U. or get a clue
Take in the sights on your dirt bike
Invest in stock or find a new life
Drive a tank into the new bank
Fire a missile into a can of paint
Go get a job in a strip mall and rinse it all off
In the tub curled in a ball
The wheels are in motioni
The new Wal-Mart is open
Drive your car into the ocean
and let it all soak in
Your new outfit is so 'in'
I need a cave I can go in
Against the bankers you have no chance
It's a beehive worth poking
The new status you posted
The hip party you hosted
Your new future is in focus
The wheels are in motion

Human Beings
02:58
|

They move away for a better life
They are always losing track of time
They use drugs for a better state of mind
Some hold up guns, some hold up peace signs
Human beings doing human things
Don't it feel so good?
Don't it feel so fine?
They'll find a reason to fall in line
They drink gin and tonics with a lime
They decide to do another line
and give their boss a piece of their mind
Human beings doing human things
Don't it feel so good?
Don't it feel so fine?
They go to bars and get in fights
They watch TV every single night
They pray to people up in the sky
They tell the truth and believe in lies

Robo-Nutso
Coast to coast
Smooth metal
Head to toe
Confidential
Thick Skin
Helicopter
Get in
Back down
Face the truth
Recalibration
Just in time
A million dollars
In 1's and 5's
Great speed
Leather coat
Shoot out
Motorboat
Skill increasing
Double time
10 million dollars
In 1's and 5's
Back down
Face the truth

Fantasy

Living in a fantasy world
I can't think
I can't sleep
I can't dream
I can't eat

Put You Out
02:15
|
|||
You've got a lot of nerve I've had it up to here
You run your mouth and it's boring me to tears
You test my patience I can't take it anymore
Keep it up and I will even out the score
I'll put you out
You like to run around and spout your dirty trash
You know the chumps around you will give you a pass
You always think you are the one who's in control
Being as low as you eventually takes it's toll

Trading Cards
03:11
|

Where am I off to?
Where am I now?
Asleep on the back porch
And I don't know how
Remember when life
was a little bit nice?
Now when you have fun
You pay the price
You can do anything
But I know you won't
Life is just waking up
And sometimes you don't
I've been to deep space
I've been grounded on Earth
I've looked all over
For personal worth
Haven't quite found it
Though I tried hard
Maybe a new job
or a fancy car?

Fast Food Chains
02:59
|
|||
You're sick but looking good with your thrift store cough
Trying so hard we yanked the rip chord off
Breaking stained glass with your guitar rock
Bodies outlined with the lipstick chalk
Any explanation's going to have to wait
I'm flying from my skin like a tattoo crane
Every single word takes you back to pain
We're traveling around to different fast food chains
We landed on the moon but we forgot the flag
We sprayed the disinfectant but we've got no rags
We can always say that it's not so bad
Any explanation's going to have to wait
I'm flying from my skin like a tattoo crane
Every single word takes you back to pain
We're traveling around to different fast food chains
