"Birdgirl On A Cell Phone"

She has eyes disability blue
A german dog and a strict curfew
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she's turned the script to another page
And she doesn't really give a damn
What you have to say

She makes a call on her friend's cell phone
The operator answers and says "you're not alone"
And if one man's ceiling is another's dance floor
Then she'll be the one running to the seashore
Trying to tell the seagulls this is home

And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she'll be the one wiser than her age
Trying to get the message to your ears

"Blinking Lights (For Me)"

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a morse code signal
Especially for me

Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's coming through
One day i will be alright again

Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming

And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees

"Bus Stop Boxer"

I don't miss where i came from
But each night i dream about being back home
When i wake up in the morning
I'm too tired
And tired of being alone

So i get up and go downtown
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Where i can prove something to the world
I can prove something to the world

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer

Daddy put us in the truck and
Dropped us off and said good luck
Then one lucky kid waiting for the bus
Made a winner out of one of us

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer

Going down to the railroad tracks
Where people know that they better not relax
I'm the man
Baby i am the man
This is where i can make you understand

"Cancer For The Cure"

The kids are diggin' up a brand new hole
Where to put the deadbeat mom
Grandpa's happy watching video porn
With the closed-caption on
And father knows best
About suicide and smack
Well, hee hee hee

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now baby
Cancer for the cure

Ol' blue eyes is back again
But he was never here in the first place
A heart attack may be something to fear
But take a look out back
'cause courtney needs love
And so do i
Well, hee hee hee

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now sweet thing
The cancer for the cure

"Checkout Blues"

I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I may check out
At any given time

Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am i stronger than the curse

Everyone is scared of me
And i'm scared of me too
Never know just what i'm gonna do

Heads up, kittens
Everything is bad
The sky is dark now
But it's the best dark i ever had

Hang on to a little thing
And let it guide the way
Bring it with you to
Another day

I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I'm hanging on here
And i'm really gonna try

Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Am i stronger than the curse

"Christmas Is Going To The Dogs"

Get off your sled and go to bed
Don't you ever tire?
Throw a bone i'm finally home
Curled up by the fire
Snow is falling from the sky
Like ashes from an urn
Sweet dreams my little one
Now it's my turn

Well christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew

Now when i sleep i like to dream
Of rabbits in the snow
Jumping right into my jaws
From their rabbit holes
Take one home and set him down
Right next to you shoes
Wake up to a big surprise
My gift to you

And christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew

And christmas is going to the dogs
We're scarfing down the turkey and eggnog
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew
So i'll just stay here and chew

"Climbing To The Moon"

So i wrote it all in a letter
But i don't know if it came
The nurse she likes my writing
So she keeps it just like me
So that it won't get away

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
And it's getting hard to tell where
What i am ends
And what they're making me begins

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

Saturday in the yard
They'll bring you by
We'll lay down on the grass
And watch as the sky closes in

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

"Daisies Of The Galaxy"

Take heart, my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are

Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is

Watching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't a place for
A boy and his friend
To go

I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up

"Day I Wrote You Off"

I saw some photos of a happy family
Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
I paid the man and i brought them back home
I feel better now when they don't call

Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling

I truly regret
The day i wrote you off

Always dreamed that one day i'd leave home
And now i do it again and again
And here i go looking for my new home
Or shall i say looking for a best friend

Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling

I truly regret
The day i wrote you off

"Dead Of Winter"

Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air
Well i was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it disappears
And fades into
And fades into the night

So i know you're going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And strangers break their promises
You won't feel any
You won't feel any pain

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockin' their horns
To race to the wire
Of the unfinished line

Thought that i'd forget all about the past
But it doesn't let me run too fast
And i just wanna stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And i will not
Fade into
Fade into the night

Standing here in the dark
