Tired of Sex

I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of having sex
I'm spread so thin
I don't know who I am
Monday night I'm makin' Jen
Tuesday night I'm makin' Lyn
Wednesday night I'm makin' Catherine
oh, why can't I be makin' love come true?

I'm beat, beet red
ashamed of what I said
I'm sorry, here I go
I know I'm a sinner
but I can't say no

Thursday night I'm makin' Denise
Friday night I'm makin' Sharise
Saturday night I'm makin' Louise
oh, why can't I be makin' love come true

tonite I'm down on my knees
tonite I'm begging you please
tonite, tonite, please
Why, can't I be makin' love come true?





Getchoo

This is beginning to hurt
This is beginning to be serious
It used to be a game
Now it's a cryin' shame
'Cuz you don't wanna play around no more

Sometimes I push too hard
Sometimes you fall and skin your knee
I never meant to do
All that I've done to you
Please baby say it's not too late

to get you, uh-huh

You know this is breakin' me up
You think that I'm some kind of freak
but if you'd come back to me
then you would surely see
that I'm just foolin' around

to get you, uh-huh

I can't believe
What you've done to me
What I did do them
You've done to me

This is beginning to hurt






No Other One

My girl's a liar
but I'll stand beside her
She's all I've got
and I don't want to be alone
My girl don't see me
when she's with my friends
She's all I've got
and I don't want to be alone

No there is no other one
No there is no other one
I can't have any other one
Though I would
now I never could with one

All of the drugs she does
Scare me real good
She's got a tattoo
and two pet snakes
but nobody knows me like her
nobody knows her like me
we're all we've got
and we don't want to be alone

I won't have any other one
Though I would
now I never could with one





Why Bother?

I know I should get next to you
You've got a look
that makes me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not somethin' real
so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother?
it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer

It's a crying shame I'm all alone
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
Won't you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me out of here






Across The Sea

You are eightteen year old girl
who live in small city of Japan
and you heard me on the radio
about one year ago
and you wanted to know all about me
and my hobbies
my favorite food and my birthday

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong
But I've got your letter
and you've got my song

They don't make stationery like this where I'm from
so fragile
so refined
So I sniff
and I lick
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea

At ten I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if I did
You see, ma, I'm a good little boy
It's all your fault, momma, it's all your fault
goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me your love from all around the world
As if I could live on words
and dreams
and a million screams
Oh how I need a hand in mine, to feel





The Good Life

When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that funky dude
starin' back at me?

Broken, beaten down
can't even get around
without an old-man cane
I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold,
I'm bitter and alone

Excuse the bitchin'
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
'cuz feeling is pain
as everything I need is denied me
and everything I want is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame?
Nobody but me

I don't wanna be a old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back
it's time I got back
'n I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!

Screw this crap, I've had it!
I ain't no mr. cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
so 'scuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
ain't gonna cause a scene
I just need to admit I want sugar in my tea
Hear me? I want sugar in my tea!






El Scorcho

Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
do it to me every time
oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
and I'm jello, baby
but you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy

Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

I'm a lot like you so please Hello
I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
and you'd be good for me

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
-How cool is that?-
So I went to your room and read your diary:
"watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack trough presstable..."
and then my heart stopped:
"listening to Cio-Cio San fall in love all over again."

How stupid is it?
I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it
and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it?
won't you gimme a minute
just come up to me
and say "hello" to my heart

How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me too
and maybe you just don't know what to do
or maybe you're scared to say
"I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'cuz I think we'd make a good team
and you would keep my fingernails clean
but that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'cuz I can't even look in your eyes without shakin'
and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon





Pink Triangle

When I'm stable long enough
I start to look around for love
See a sweet in floral print
my mind begins the arrangements
but when I start to feel that pull
turns out I just pulled myself
she would never go with me
were I the last girl on earth

I'm dumb she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
we were good as married in my mind
but married in my mind's no good
a Pink Triangle on her sleeve
let me know the truth
let me know the truth

Might have smoked a few in my time
but never thought it was a crime
knew the day would surely come
when I'd chill and settle down

when I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
then she put me in my place
if everyone's a little queer
can't she be a little straight?






Falling For You

Holy cow! I think I've got one here
Now just what am I supposed to do?
I've got a number of irrational fears
That I'd like to share with you
First, there's rules about old goats like me
Hangin' 'round with chicks like you
but I do like you
And another one: you say "like" too much

But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
'n I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
or maybe I would rather settle down with you

Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it?
Just as I was bustin' loose
I gotta go turn in my rock star card
and get fat and old with you
'cuz I'm a burning a candle
you're a gentle month
teaching me to lick a little bit kinder
and I do like you
you're the lucky one
No! I'm the lucky one

Holy Sweet goddamn! You left your cello in the basement
I admired the glowing stars
and tried to play a tune'
I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true
What could you possibly see in little ol' 3-chord me?
But it's true - you like me, I like you too
I'm ready, let's do it baby





Butterfly

Yesterday I went outside
with my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely Butterfly

When I woke up today
And looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
But everytime I pin down what I think I want 
it slips away - the ghost slips away

I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
if I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
maybe I can live with that
maybe I need fantasy
a life of chasing Butterfly

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
but I ain't never comin' back
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
