"Regular John"

Who are you, girl?
Who are you, boy?
Bet I know what you're up to
Can I come along?
Your home number on the wall
I just had to call
Had to
I'm not the only one
Who will run with a knife

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

One six two, seven eight
Two six three, seven eight nine

Where's your daddy now?
I heard he ran away
Who are you, girl?
'Cause I'm so bored with myself
Anyway
Any time and any place
I'll just hang around

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

One six two, seven eight
Two six three, seven eight nine

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms
Open up your door
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

"Avon"

I see you go
Through a park in a haze
I don't listen
For traffic going the same way
A simple system
I string 'em up
I cut 'em down
Dare I say

A perfect vision
Some simple ways to let you know
Free range humans all cooped up
Naked clone is playing lame
I string 'em up
I cut 'em down
Dare I say

"If Only"

If it gets you down, well then I'll take it
If it gets you up, well I don't want it
It let you down so broken-hearted
If it gets you down, well then I want it

If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
We're nothing at all

So blow our mind and make it lazy
Those long long days with no escaping
I hold the wheel to let it go
Don't wanna stop, don't wanna know
If it gets you down, well just don't blame me

If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
If only, only
We're nothing at all

"Walkin' On The Sidewalks"

Got some action on the other side
Loose teeth in my head
New programs are coming in
So rise and take your oath
I wish we could get away
Drink wine and screw
I knew someone else before
Looked alot like you

[chorus:]
And they're gone
I'm gone
In space

I been programed as I said before
Technology
Just rollin, wheezin and breathin
Eyeballs and teeth
Words are weightless here on earth because they're free
You knew someone else before
Looked alot like me

[repeat chorus 2x]

"You Would Know"

We just happy robot
Live on hill of bean
You and I, cut from same cloth
Rippin' at the seams
Cut, snip, cut

Don't forget to remember
The devil's got pills in his eyes
Look, laugh, but don't touch
Cut you down to size
Cut, up, cut (shut up)
Cut, up, cut

You would know

My girl's all out of focus
It ain't no big surprise
Daddy got his gun loaded
Got crosshairs in his eyes
Shut, up, oh
Shut, up, oh

You would know

You would know
You would know
You would know, oh
You would know

But you would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know, oh
You would know
You would know

"How To Handle A Rope"

Too late to think or filter anymore
A bitter pill to swallow, maybe you're
In a blanket haze of ephedrine
I'm wonderin' where the hell you been
So come on and right this wrong, the rope

You've got it all right
You got a feeling
I'd rather open up my wrist, let it go
You got it all right
You've got a feeling
'Cause devils and ropes around your neck
Cursing them all
And you can't hear it
Can't hear it

Ain't got a mind to deal with anymore
Saboteur, infiltrator, and maybe more
If you're not blind and deaf, how can we pollute your head?
So come on and right this wrong, the rope

And I got it all right
I got a feeling
You'd rather open up your wrists, let it go
I got it all right
Yeah, I got a feeling
'Cause devils and ropes around my neck can't even know
'Cause they can't hear it
Can't hear it
Can't hear it
Can't hear it

"Mexicola"

Setting sun deals hands of gold
There's velvet eyes in Mexico
Just a fall away
And all she said was true

Speak in tongues, speak in lies
Drooling livers, born to die
It's a wonder that those guns don't point at you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') You will (live forever)
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') You will (live forever)

Point and shoot, I know just what you mean
In a world that's full of shit and gasoline, baby
One dog's dead, one's on the phone
Just leave a lung or leave it alone
It's that same old song again
I hate it 'cause it's true
Oh, oh
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh

(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') You will (live forever)
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') Go on
(Keep sayin') You will (live forever)

"You Can't Quit Me Baby"

It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know

Followed your friends, you were not there
Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you're laughing baby
Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
I want you to notice when I'm not around
Wherever you are

You're solid gold
I'll see you in hell

"Give the Mule What He Wants"

The mule want it
The mule want it Sunday
He'll eat it
He'll eat it one day
How long
Do I wait
Be the mule that you gotta be
(Say what, say what, say what)
Underwater, underwater one day
Gonna sink it, make 'em think it's too late
For your love
For your love
Be the mule that you gotta be
