"Eyes Down"

Well, the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down

The brotherhood of the misunderstood
Live and die here in all likelihood
You're livin' in this town
Better pray for sundown
And baby, when you go downtown
You keep your eyes down

You keep your eyes down

Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down

Go with the flow, well you've gotta be sick
Think i'd rather hear my heart not tick
But if you don't wanna wear a hospital gown
Better get out now
Or keep your eyes down

Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down

Well the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down

I keep my eyes down

"Fashion Awards"

Let's go down to the fashion show
With all the pretty people that you don't know
We'll sit down in the velvet chairs
They'll hand awards out for best hair
And if we don't win one, well, then
We'll blow off our heads in despair
We'll blow off our heads in despair

I smell magic in the room
Flashing lights and sonic booms
Lovely saps all without a care
Nobody said that the world was fair
And if they did say so, well, then
We'll blow off our heads in despair
We'll blow off our heads in despair

Let's go down to the fashion show
With all the pretty people and piles of blow
We'll sit down in the velvet chairs
And hang on tight to our bus fare
And if it falls between the seats
We'll blow off our heads in despair
We'll blow off our heads in despair

"Flower"

Turn the ugly light off god
Wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that i see
Don't you think that i see what it's all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out

It's a pretty big world god
And i am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then i play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out

When i came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then i'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, i know i'm gonna win

Turn the ugly light off god
Don't wanna see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that i know
Don't you think that i know
What they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out

"Flyswatter"

Little field mice living under the house
Never eating much
Tough life for a mouse
And if you think you're gonna be spared
You're wrong

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through
The day

Heat is rolling in like hell's red rug
Stinking like the breath of beelzebub
And if you think you won't walk on coals
You will

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through
The day

"Fresh Feeling"

You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good
That it is true

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Try
Try to forget what's in the past
Tomorrow is here
Love,
Orange sky above lighting your way
There's nothing to fear

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Some people are good
Babe in the 'hood
So pure and so free
I'd make a safe bet
You're gonna get whatever you need

"Friendly Ghost"

If you're scared to die
You better not be scared to live
I've been spending all my days
Giving all i can give

Last night i heard someone walk in
Through my bedroom door
What they wanted i'm not exactly sure

A friendly ghost is all i need

Marking time on a broken watch
Counting days 'til the old pawn shop
Sells me back my saxophone
Then everyone's gonna leave me alone

Two times i thought i heard someone
Knocking on the glass
I hid my head and prayed that it would pass

A friendly ghost is all i need

If you're scared to die
You better not be scared to live
I've been carrying 'round a grudge
Think i better forgive

Last night i heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor
I got up and i opened up the door

A friendly ghost is all i need

"From Which I Came / A Magic World"

Ten pounds and a head of hair
Came into without a care
What they thought were cries
Were little laughs
Only looking forward and moving fast
The little bundle had arrived
And i was happy to be alive
In a magic world

Long days and dreaming nights
Wide eyes take in all the sights
A little wonder goes a long, long way
Learning where to go and what to say
Say hello to your new son
Well he sure is having fun
In a magic world

Every moment's built to last
When you're living without a past
In a magic world

"Fucker"

Came home tonight
And i felt like i'd die of loneliness
Strange you think
Popularity

Looking for a simple life
But life ain't simple
I'm tired and sick
But i don't wanna be alone

I'll go to a party
But i don't really want to
For now i'm sitting out here on my porch
Writing in the dark air
Listening to my little black cat meow

Trying to vent some of the terrible passion
That's coursing through me
Something about you
Something about spending the afternoon
Asleep in your arms

I hate you
Fucker

"Funeral Parlor"

Sitting in the funeral parlor
On the night before the day
Think i might have left the stove on
Think i might have left the door unlocked
I don't know if the stores will all be closed
When i get out
I don't know if the chores will all be done
When i get home

Sitting in the funeral parlor
Listen to the organ play
What if i forgot the trash cans
What if i forgot to telephone
I don't know if i wrote the number down
In my book
I don't know if i can stand to stay here
One more second

"Going Fetal"

Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright

Everyone is going fetal
It's the one thats really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright

Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright

Everyone is going fetal
