Bright Yellow Gun

With your bright yellow gun
You own the sun,
And I think I need a little poison...

To keep me tame
Keep me awake,
I have nothing to offer but confusion...

And the circus in my head,
In the middle of the bed,
In the middle of the night...

With your bright silver frown,
You own the town,
And I think I need a little poison...

I have no secrets,
I have no lies,
I have nothing to offer but the middle of the night...

And I think you need a little poison...

You leak one apple a week to survive,
And you still have to ask if you're alive...

You have nothing to offer,
but police my dreams...

Keep me clean,
Keep me awake...

With your bright yellow gun,
You own the sun,
And I think I need a little poison...

With your bright silver grin,
You own sin,
And I think I need a little poison


Start

You're so right he can swim,
He can breathe under water...

I'm so light I'm so good,
I'm all fathers' daughter...

I Know he won't roam...

I'm so blonde,
You're so hot,
This could not be better...

I'm sorry I can't talk,
I can't think under pressure...

I've got nothing to say...

I climb you as I grow older,
By fifty I'll ride on your shoulder...

I climb you as I grow older...

I start at his knees,
And I'll end in his dreams...

I'm so glad you could come,
Now breathe under water...

I'm so glad he's so charmed,
That I'll walk him back home,
And I'll keep him in bed,
I'll walk out the door,
And I'll live there instead...

I start at his knees,
And I'll end in his dreams


Hazing

Strange time to be hazing me,
Breaking me,
Shaking me awake...

Now ,
I'm up now...

You're crazy,
You're hazing me...

Strange time to be needing me,
Cheating me,
Freezing me out...

Out now,
I'm up now...

You're crazy,
You don't faze me...

That's my cue,
I'll spend another day,
dancing with you...


Shimmer

You in the water,
Underneath the tarp...
It don't rain under the water,
It don't rain inside my heart...

Don't follow me home...

You walking in the gulf stream,
tail between your legs...
It's not funny...
If you ask me,
It's just funny in your head...

Hang on,
Hang on...

My tongue is filled with sugar,
And my back is filled with pain...
Your tongue is on my shoulder,
And there's nothing on my brain...

Don't follow me home...

Shake barrels of whisky down my throat,
I'll still see straight...
Ride out on a pony even loose,
I won't be late...

Hang on,
Hang on...

I'll ride on a pony till I'm dusty
And I'm old...
My head is filled with flowers,
And I'm dressed in shiny gold...

Keep an eye on me,
I shimmer on horizons...
I shimmer on horizons...
A shimmer on horizons...
I shimmer on horizons...
A shimmer in your eyes, son,
A shimmer in your eye...


Calm Down, Come Down

Calm down, Come down

I think you know the whole thing's a damn shame...

I don't wanna calm down,
I don't wanna come down...


Crabtown

Crabtown baby brown...

It's not work at all,
It just slips around your fingers...

It just sit's around,
Lingers like a spell...

Oh we can't hardly stand,
Oh we can't hardly wait around...

Kiss me over crabtown baby brown...
Under water I swim sound...
Cast a shadow on your cloud...
Scatter days like spray champagne...

Oh we can't hardly stand,
Oh we can't hardly wait around...
Kiss me over crabtown baby brown...
Lost my head on reject beach...

Lost my heart,
Come away with me...

Oh we can't hardly stand,
Oh we can't hardly wait around...

Kiss me over crabtown baby brown...


No Way In Hell

Love's got this drag on it...
No way in hell would I turn to you
Know too damn much...

No way in hell...
I'm gonna run your friend down to the train
In time for your hour...

You sold my clothes to those girls...
Drink till I'm numb,
Then I'm gone...
Say goodnight...

I sleep with one hand on my clothes,
I sleep with one hand on my heart,
There's almost nothing left to guard...

For each time I say goodbye,
I swallow you once every night...
Say goodnight...

No way in hell would I give...
No way in hell would I fold...
No way in hell would I burn...
No way in hell would I go...
No way in hell would I quake...
No way in hell would I dance...
No way in hell would I go...


Surf Cowboy


I slip under the water,
I fall into the sea...

Come everyone...


That's All You Wanted

That's all you wanted...
We share this skin...
We share this kiss...

The best in us,
The beast in us...
This lust...

I saw the angels,
Sleeping with you...
In his face...

Light...

That's all you wanted...
That's all you wanted...
That's all you give...


Teller

"I leave in the morning,
I don't wanna go".. I said to the teller,
"If this is the future,I don't wanna know"...

"Fives and tens," said the guy behind the bar,
"Twenty five says he don't,
you cut a nice figure of a family"...

"I don't know, I don't know...
I have a fear of flying,
I think I have a fear of him,
I'm afraid of meaning nothing again...
After all this is over,
this is over after all...
We cut a nice figure of a family...

I don't know,
I don't know...

Can I be stupid for a minute?
I was looking at the half-empty glass,
waiting for the waiter...
You don't have to listen to this...
Tell me what to say..."


Snakeface

Not another drive-in movie,
You know you can't be still...
Move me...
Sanke, snake...

Face out an open window...
Water in my eyes...
Beat me to it...
Meet me here next time...
One more button undone...

You talk too loud,
I'm talking to you
Talk it into the ground...
Move me...
Snake, snake...

Face out an open window...
Fire in my eyes...
Beat me to it...
Meet me here next time...
One more button undone...

Next week I'll be a lousy liar...
Next time I'll say when...
You move me...


Flood

Fly, you get high, right?
Fly, and you get high, right?

Try, you get by all right...
Try and you get by all right..

Ryde, you're my bright light...
You're my bright light...

Oh God, I'm high...
Waterfalls of flood my eyes with light...
Flood my eyes with my aching eyesight...
My aching eyes...


Fever Few

I break the ice,
I melt the snow...
I knew you twice,
Once long ago...

Maybe it's the fever or the radio...
I hear someone singing way down low...

Right now...
You bring me water,
You bring me dope...
I don't like you,
But you're my only hope...

I'm not talking,
That's the radio...
Look at me,
I melt snow!..

Right now...
Ride four red horses through my room...
Maybe it's the fever,
I'd kill to see you fly...
And for a glass of water before I die...

How many of you are there?
I see , like, three...
Maybe you should take this stuff away from me...

Right now...
I break the ice,
I melt the snow...
I knew you twice,
once long ago...
And right now...
