Mustard

jodie makes love to the grocery man

whenever she can

he tells her lies, he tells her lies

but he's got apples in his eyes



jodie makes love to the drugstore man

whenever she can

because she loves him, she really loves him

because he gives her nothing



she just goes around town that way, she just goes around town



and just because he loves her

she eats him up with mustard



jodie makes love to the drugstore man

whenever she can

whenever she can

whenever she can



she just goes around town that way, she just goes around town



and just because he loves her

she eats him up with mustard



it's moving

moving

moving

						

Butchery

the world begins to break down

it's not my fault

butchery

sitting on the floor all apart

it breaks my heart

butchery



and i try to find a world in my friends

now i'm trying just to find my friends

before everything ends



then i begin to break down

it's not my fault

butchery

i have such an old man's face

it breaks my heart

butchery

Killer Willow

maybe he cries rocks

killer willow

boutros boutros ghali

the prince of papyrus

killer willow

boutros boutros-ghali

Seconal

that's my last girlfriend

she tied a tube around her neck

she's jumping up and down on the bed

my crazy girlfriend



and that's my last girlfriend's mother

hanging on the wall like honey

see how she kisses somebody

see how she kisses somebody



seconal is sorry about it all



if i count the ways that i love you

i could count maybe one or two

but honey, honey everybody's loved you

for at least a day or two



that's my last girlfriend

hanging on the wall with a push pin

she tied a tube around her neck

my crazy girlfriend



seconal is sorry about it all



come on ! come on ! just like saturday night

come on ! come on ! just like saturday night



somebody

Istanbul

turtle dove your eyes, your eyes are peaches

turtle dove you know how i love peaches

she's leaving on a boat called Istanbul



shark fin soup from the bay of Biscay, my sweetness ?

blue turtle pate if you'll stay, if you'll stay

she's leaving on a boat called Istanbul



she called me a maggot and sat on my lap

she's kind of attractive

she pulled up her dress and said

so much depends on the coming attraction

she's leaving on a boat called Istanbul



there's nothing in the world like a man with a kingdom

and a wandering eye for innocence

closing your eyes you can just feel the breeze

and the silk and the bitterness



she's leaving on a boat called Istanbul

Man Club

truly yours is scared of the second floor

man club, I had not seen it before

my bed is needles and creaming, relaxing

i had not seen it before

i had not seen it before



i wore dresses in high school from Nairobi

they had not seen it before

and I first began killing in my dreams at fifteen

this had not happened before

this had not happened before



look out, she's a river coming and leaving

look out, she's a woman who wants you to beat her

and god only knows, god only knows

she's ready to go, she's ready to go



i try to sleep with the frigidaire screaming

but I can not stay there

on top of my baobob it's dreamy

as I fall through the air

as I fall through the air

as I fall through the air

Snowman

this house is freezing

so betty drinks little drinks

but she's not breathing



i have rocks in my coat pocket

i have thoughts of sinking to the bottom

i have rocks as eyeballs and they weigh me down

get 'em out, get 'em out



this house is freezing

so betty drinks bigger drinks

but she's not breathing

Stairway

walked out into daylight from the coolness of inside

little teeth marks on my cheeks look just like cherries

if i never see you again, don't forget about your skin

you burn like butter, goodnight sweet thing



on the other side of the world



when i wish upon a star

i wonder where you are

i wish upon the sun

and it makes my eyes go numb



walk out behind the church to the green, green grass

a little string tied around my finger, yeah

i find a shady spot with a view of all i've been through

and i picture you in a swimming pool



on the other side of the world



but this is the last time

that i'll ever cry

that i'll ever cry, so settle down, settle down



makes my eyes go numb

Curious

screaming in a monkey's face

"i'm just so happy, don't know what to say"

it's my hate, it's my hate

but is it beautiful in outer space ?



we're coming out, the trees are in their place

how did you get so far away

dreamy little rage ?

Trouble

mama says it gracefully

this is too much for me

as far as the eyes can see

is just too far for me

so dig a hole for my feet

and pour in concrete

do you remember being promising ?



so walk the dog around the block

walk it off, walk it off

till there's trouble, trouble, trouble



geronimo, geronimo, geronimo



mama says it gracefully

this is too much for me

i just miss the buffalo

but what do i know

i'll tell you what i believe, this little creek is a screaming thing

all you can hope to see is just a little bit of sparkling

Cold Blooded

i never meant to be so cold blooded

i never meant to be so cruel

mary, mary, talk to me about the weather

and what it's done to you



i have only jealousy and the patience of a dog

you know that i could wait for you forever

but forever is way too long

and now i only want to shut it down



she drags me down and she takes me watered down



i never meant to be so cold blooded

i never meant to be so cruel

all i ever wanted was everything that i ever saw

as crazy as you

and now i only want to shut it down

i want you know
