Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I’m going up there
Because it’s beautiful.
I gotta calm down.
I gotta reach for
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
I really want her,
But all I really know
Is that I want her
Because she’s beautiful.
But then I walk down
To another door.
Was it a white door?
Was it a red door?
Da door da da da ...
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
I said I really want it
You gotta bring me to it
You gotta really wanna,
And you look beautiful.
And now I come back
To what I really want
This is a lockdown,
And it is beautiful.
Ha ha don’t stop don’t stop don’t stop don’t stop
Baby baby baby baby...
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Bow wow
Bow wow
Bow wow
Bow wow
Don’t stop don’t stop don’t stop don’t stop stop stop stop stop

ONE LONG LAZY AFTERNOON

ONE LONG LAZY AFTERNOON
Looking out my window,
Thinking ‘bout the life I knew.
Now I see it quickly fade from view.
Then I look around the cluttered charm
Of my cocoon.
My life is one long lazy afternoon.
Another perfect day with no one
Knocking at my door.
I don’t even listen anymore.
Hear the songs of birds outside.
It makes me think of June.
My life is one long lazy afternoon.
Oh, all my friends are gone,
But I’ll see them all
When things get better.
I love the silence of this quiet room.
Take me to that special place where
I don’t need to hide my face there, no.
I love this trip I’m on
‘Cause it goes beyond
What makes me better.
I had a dream of dancing in the rain.
Don’t you worry now, my friend,
‘Cause we will dance again.
Until then, I’ll keep myself away from all the news.
It doesn’t bring me nothing but the blues.
In a world of dissonance,
Well, I remain in tune.
My life is one long lazy afternoon.

AEROSOL DROPLET PEST CONTROL
You got no smell.
What’s that all about?
You’re gonna go to hell
For the things that you shout.
If you got no taste, then you’re in for a shock.
Spit on my face. It’s so punk rock.
You got the dice,
Give ‘em a roll.
Aerosol droplet pest control.
Let's go.
You borrow my shoes.
Where you going to go?
You’re going to a party
At an REO.
You’re getting back home at the break of dawn.
You’re wearing me out with this marathon.
You took the trip.
So you pay the toll.
Aerosol droplet pest control.
Let's go.
First you act real cute,
Like it’s got to be.
Then you’re kissing my friends
Right in front of me.
You’re taking your drink right from the bottle.
You better shut it down, take your hand off the throttle.
It’s gonna hit you hard,
Like a telephone pole.
Aerosol droplet pest control.
Let's go.
Super Spreader
Super Spreader
Supa supa
Super Spreader
You’re all my friends!

MAY YOU SUFFER GREATLY

MAY YOU SUFFER GREATLY
May you suffer greatly.
May you be ridiculed by your betters.
May you not be suffered by fools.
May you be forced to follow, to the letter, all of the rules.
(May you suffer greatly.)
May your lawyers abandon you and your lenders stop taking your calls.
May you be susceptible to falls.
(May you suffer greatly.)
May the rest of your life be an unrelenting and humiliating strip search.
May the angels cry out for your head each time you happen to pass a church.
(May you suffer greatly.)
May Karma cradle you in the palm of her hand and crush you like the insect you are.
May you go far.
Away.
(May you suffer greatly.)
Amen.

NO COUNTRY

NO COUNTRY
No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves
Could ever be great.
That flimflam man
With the empty hand
Had a master plan,
And you took the bait.
That fascist brawl
With the animals
At the Capitol
Is making me hate.
No country built on stolen land
Under his command
Could ever be free.
That virus belching
Racist rant
Of a President,
It terrifies me.
How many die
In the countryside
'Til it qualifies
As genocide?
How many more
Would be lost before
He was out the door?
How many died?
(I wanna cry.)
No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves
Will ever find peace.
That ugly stain
Will still remain
Like a prisoner chain.
No chance for release.
As the future plans
What the world demands
It is in your hands
To kill the beast.
No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves

FAR TOO LONG

FAR TOO LONG
I been staring at these four walls
For far too long.
I been wishing for different place
Where I can belong.
There ain’t nothing but the fading light
To be my baby tonight.
I been staring at these four walls
For far too long.
I been eating this same old food
For far too long.
I could be dining at my favorite joint,
But that would be wrong.
I keep dreaming of my favorite meal,
Something with that spicy appeal.
I been eating this same old food
For far too long.
All I want is a holiday
From everything in my routine.
I would even do what the faithful say,
But that is really not my scene.
(That’s mean)
I been nursing this day old beer
For far too long...
My life seems just so far away.
I wonder why it walks from me.
If I could only hear what the future say,
Telling me that what will be (will be).
I been living with a worried mind
For far too long.
I been telling all my lowlife friends
That I could be strong.
If I can’t find a way to be free,
It’s going to be the end of me.
‘Cause I been living with a worried mind
For far too long.
I been eating this same old food
For far too long.
I been staring at these four walls
For far too long.

YOU
You,
Standing in the mirror view.
I can close my eyes and see you coming through.
Time.
I thought that we might have more time.
But with each day, I find
I close my eyes,
And, in my mind,
I still remember
You,
Wondering what we’re going to do.
Could you believe it when they said your days were few?
Me,
Struggling to finally see
This is how it had to be.
It makes me cry.
We said goodbye
Through a window.
Oh, but what I want to say
Is, if we had another day,
I would tell you that you’re beautiful,
And I would take from you
All the pain that you went through,
But that would only make me pitiful.
And you died alone,
And they made me stay away,
But you had to know
That I was there that day.
And I want to say
This is the time
To say that I’m
Going back to be
What I will be.
And I will see
What I can do
Here without you
You

AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT
What happens when you die?
The people who loved you cry
And, in their own way, they say goodbye
To you,
And then they go on,
But one day they'll be gone,
And that is when you die a second time.
And I'll see you in that better place.
I'll see you in that better place.
What happens when you die?
The people who loved you cry
And, in their own way, they say goodbye
To you,
And then they go on,
But one day they'll be gone,
And that is when you die a second time.
And I'll see you in that better place
As the lights go out on the human race.
I'll look into your beautiful face
As the lights go out on the human race.
As the lights go out.
I'll see you in that better place
As the lights go out on the human race.
I'll sing to you in outer space
As the lights go out on the human race.
I'll give to you what they can't replace
As the lights go out on the human race.
I'll give to you a love embrace
As the lights go out on the human race.
I'll give to you my love embrace
As the lights go out on the human race.
As the lights go out.
