Biting keeps your words at bay
Tending to the sores that stay
Happiness is just a gash away
When i open a familiar scar
Pain goes shooting like a star
Comfort hasn't failed to follow so far...

And you might say it's self-indulgent

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

All the cities in the world
And so very little time and
So many different girls...
All you have to do is find them.
There’s a wealth of opportunity you make your plans accordingly.
A pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy.
Say, how'd you like to run away from these machines?
Everywhere the spies are printing out your dreams.

Clutching the phone till my hands were sore
I never understood pain before, Christopher
you cannot know what it does to me
hearing you speak with this frequency

I never knew what one voice could do
I was in heaven the moment I heard you
my friends go out drinking and having fun -

Coin operated boy, sitting on the shelf
He is just a toy but I turn him on and he comes to life
Automatic joy that is why I want
A coin operated boy
Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more?
Love without complications galore

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting

I love you like a brother
And I love you like a child
And I love you like a lover
And I love you dumb and colorblind

And I love you like a mother
Even after all you've done
And I love you like a lover

boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing
girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing
specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures
send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together

sad but true the facts of life are bound to get you down
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty...

there's no end to the love you can give
when you change your point of view to underfoot
very good
you may be flat but you're breathing

and there's no doubt he's at home in his room
probably watching porn of you from the fall
it's last call

It is a thursday
I get up early
It is a challenge
I'm usually lazy

I make some coffee
I eat some rice chex
And then i sit down

Gardener

Sorry for the setback
I know i let you down
Turn back the clocks and step back
And spring might come around

My little misbegotten...

you can tell
from the scars on my arms
and cracks in my hips
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell

So you dont want to hear about my good song?
and you dont want to hear about how i am getting on
with all the things that i can get done
the sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
so you don't want to hear about my good day?
you have better things to do than to hear me say

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way

gravity plays favorites i know it cause i saw
honest to god officer it's awful
down at work i'm getting too familiar with the floor
showing off my talentsby the mouthful

hate to break it to you but its out of my control
forces go to work while we are sleeping

Half underwater
I'm half my mother's daughter
A fraction's left up to dispute
The whole collection
Half off the price they're asking
In the halfway house of ill repute

He told me that I knew what to laugh at
And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back so I could know for certain
So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing
While doubling entendres with the voicings
He said "O darling, you're charming
Please don't find it alarming if I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting"

Now there there

the dresden dolls - my alcoholic friends

I’m counting back
the number of the steps
it took for me to get
back on the wagon of the weekend

I’ll use the autotimer to prove that

I’ve been feeling dull as a coat hanger pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be

yes i'll tell you just the thing you need to be the next big thing
lets start in with a test of your intelligence and zest for the counter productive
up and down and roundabout and out the back and keep your mouth shut
tight the lights are staying out but no sweat I’ve got aim like a mack truck
guess how many fingers ok guess how many more i can fit there

Bring two prix fixe dinners up
I'll unwrap the plastic cups
It's just us my love
It's just us my love
I will make the room up nice
Put your insides all on ice
It was real true love
It was real true love

Missed me missed me now you've got to kiss me
If you kiss me mister i might tell my sister
If i tell her mister she might tell my mother and my
Mother, mister, just might tell my father and my father
Mister he won't be too happy and he'll have his lawyer
Come up from the city and arrest you mister
So i wouldnt miss me if you get me, mister, see?

Oh mrs. o
Will you tell us where the naughty children go
Will you show
How the sky turned white and everybody froze
Heaven knows how they got into the fireplace
But everybody's saying grace
And trying to keep a happy face

I'm counting back
The number of the steps
It took for me to get
Back on the wagon of the weekend

I'll use the autotimer to prove that
I'll get home with my imagination
If they find the body in the basement

Let's get lost
Fingers crossed
It is an ordinary evening
I am broadcasting are you receiving

Sick sick sound
All fall down
It is a necessary evil

Let's get lost
Fingers first
It is an ordinary evening, yeah-ah
I am broadcasting are you receiving, yeah-ah

Sick sick sound
All fall down

you should see yourself
when will you grow up
every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch

but i was just the fool
you`ve been waiting for
who says we can`t touch
ourselves to keep from getting bored?

You gentlemen can watch while I'm scrubbing the floors,
And I'm scrubbing the floors while you're gawking.
And maybe if you tip me it'll make you feel swell,
On a ratty waterfront, in a ratty old hotel,
And you'd never guess to who you're talking
You'd never guess to who you're talking.

Suddenly one night, there's a scream in the night,

dear mr. and/or mrs. sender-
we're pleased to inform you that your applications been accepted
starting from the time you get this letter
your life will be one never-ending
“hope you're feeling better”
you get your choice of an aesthetic
we'll need to chop your clock off (tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock)
it might not be what you expected

Овечья песнь
Wash up
Bowl of mush
Look I made America
Hush hush
Don't don't rush
Time for quiet
Time to brush

He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her pants
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is this thing it's like talking except you don't talk
You sing
You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing

Slide

a late april day and it's sunny outside
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
and an an orange old man at the bottom
wants to take her for a ride
as she slips and she tumbles the orange man mumbles
pennies crash down from the sky

We're a sorry bunch
The odds of it are such a drag my darling
I could've lost her hand
You should look where you are going
God I could have lost my life
But I would lose a hundred fights
Just as long as you were on my side

He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her pants
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa

The Kill
I am an anarchist
An antichrist
An asterix
I am an anorak
An acolyte
An accidental
I am eleven feet

I could make a dress
A robe fit for a prince
I could clothe a continent
But i can't sew a stitch

I can paint my face
And stand very very still
Its not very practical

the time has come to speak of many things
of jacks and queens and kings

i bared my wrists and promised to begin
but you cut the blade straight in

the time has come: let's play find the missing song
there is something very wrong

you can have washington i'll take new jersey
you can have london but i want new york city

i should get providence i've got a job now
los angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now

you can have africa asia australia
as long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona
