WE THREW GASOLINE ON THE FIRE AND NOW WE HAVE STUMPS FOR ARMS AND NO EYEBROWS
brilliant? we're describing something dumb you create to desecrate the villain i've become a prophet, not to be made but heard speaks in tongues and sarcasm to me it's plain, to you absurd you don't know me let alone my intent actions do not always self represent i don't feel urgency in explaining my conscience so vaguely clear seen as jealousy so fast across the earth flower blooms it's planting fumes the miracle rebirth a cynic, in the search of something more the fragrant air cannot compare to what it was the day before remember the good old days remember the sound remember the sweet mustiness underground no, i don't feel the need for relivin' some things are better off dead never thought the furnace was going to burn us we rode the bounds for so long the comfort of the fire appetize us looks like we burned ourselves alive remember the old band we filled ears with pain nothing to lose there was nothing to gain i don't miss my span of attention i do miss my old friend tim
WE AIN'T SHIT
tear that poster off the wall it takes up too much space we ain't no fucking rock band, man we're a professional disgrace - is the word i would use to describe the noises we're making feedback, wrong key, a lack of dignity so don't think we don't know we're fuckin' losers washed up old men the years we'd play the same four chords over and over and once again posing as musicians justify what we get paid time to forfeit, we may be in the light, but we ain't shit we may not get respect you think we don't know we may be riding on a one way ticket down we're going down but i got no regrets they'll come in time i can't remember having a better time on the road to pity we just passed integrity pull the plug, put us out of this aural misery giving a new meaning to flogging a dead horse... so we all agree please drop us at the next glue factory yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that we ain't shit
DRUGS ARE GOOD
want to fuck off, drop out never trust a fuckin' hippie for that matter don't trust anyone quit school, don't work livin' up the music you punk if i could do it so could anyone drugs are good they make you do things that you know you not should and when you do them people think that you're cool and when you do them people think that you're cool want to join a punk band shave your head and get a tattoo you don't need talent just the attitude self destruction for no particular reason beat up everyone drugs are neat and you can buy them relatively cheap and when you do them people think that you're cool and when you do them people think that you're cool
THE FASTEST, LONGEST LINE
in the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light not just a headlight like the one that's heading right for me it would be nice if things could turn out right turn out right yeah don't think i'll ever see the day i must have done something wrong or maybe pissed off god i think of chinese food when i think of life that's sweet and sour my life is sweet as saccharine you know 3 week old milk and grapes are not not the same, no i am the one johnny carcinogen i must have fucked with some witch in turn she cursed me, cursed my life at the end of the longest line that's where i will always be if you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line but officer that was a yellow light the light was red, son insubordination, reckless driving i must be wrong, this can't be right i don't belong, this world is much to dangerous for someone lacking luck, like me at the end of the longest line that's where i will always be if you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line at the end of the longest line that's where i will always be at the end of the longest line
VINCENT
starry, starry night paint your palette blue and gray look out on a summer day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul shadows on the hill sketch the trees and daffodils catch the breeze and winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land. now i understand what you tried to say to me and how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free they would not listen; they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now starry, starry night portraits hung in empty halls frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget like strangers that you've met ragged men in ragged clothes the silver thorn, a bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow now i think i know what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity and you tried to set them free: they would not listen; they're not listening still perhaps they never will for they could not love you but still, your love was true and when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night you took your life as lovers often do but i could've told you, vincent this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
