I’m not somebody else
I’m not somebody else
I know it’s what you want but
couldn’t you want it a little less?
I hear your form of it
I hear your form, it fits
into a box that Casper locks
and eats the key to it

God I never lost my place in line
God I got this little beard
No one ever told me to fuck myself
or I would have done that too
God, I never held my place in line
I never learned from Truth
No one ever told me to fuck myself
the way they did to You
Me, I love that kind of fucking up, that kind
I’ve been cryin’ for it, I’ve been cryin’
Clearer inside

Bi-ped
I feel her, I’m not afraid
to need her, as if I’m trained
It’s alright to not be gay
It’s alright to be afraid
We all have the energy
We all have the drive
to become a bigger part
of our own lives
And it’s too uncomfortable
And it’s in my way
Welcome to these arms again
Welcome to the grave
I tell her, she’s gotta learn,
confusion is not inborn
So destroy beauty, correct lies
and sleep with me
Everyone is stoned or dead,
burned or in the ground
If you want, come on right now:
you’ve got two feet and a head
Now that we are gone,
you’re always here

Born On A Saturday
You were born on a Saturday
but nobody’s born to die
All the stars are above you now
but someday you’ll be the only light
The only wave in this whole lake
that none of us come into dry
Still, nobody’s born to die
I was born on a Saturday,
the sun was my eyes’ only guide
I felt around for another heart
and left my tadpole tail behind
And if this heart didn’t bleed so much
I’d probably never ask you
“why is everyone born to die?”

Out To Lunch
You know I never had much for reasons
You know I never had too much
No one ever told me the reasons
I thought it was an easy crutch
You can always go out to lunch
You know I never had much for reasons
Everybody had too much
It could have been a real act of treason
or maybe just an act of trust for me
and then all of the things I see
they come out religious
You want too much
Maybe it’s not just the fact that you wanted too much
Understand,
I don’t want your petty fear fucking up with my plans
You need it too much
Maybe it’s not just a girl that you wanted to touch
Maybe it’s based on the reasons
you were out to lunch

Coughin’
Bury me deep in a coffin that smells just like you
Sprinkle it with your perfume and with your shampoo
I know that time isn’t far from your heart
but, after it’s done, you can leave me and make a new start
Bury me deep in a coffin of leather and wool
So I can breathe, will you leave me the air from your soul?
If God was right about Adam and Eve,
the fruit of the tree must be worth it, so take as you please
The fruit of the tree must be worth it

Whirling Dervish
How many tears do you want?
If I were in love for a day,
then I’d have to die for a month
just to get over my shame for
the way you’re in chains
How many years do you want?
How many years do you need to
fuck and get drunk and write songs?
Repetition is death while you’re living
so I’m giving you up
How do you feel?
How does that sound?
Something is wrong with the Now
Wrong with the strongest part of
something to feel, something to hold
when heaven is up in the air
How many tears do you want?
If I was to love for a day,
then I’d have to die for a month
just to put my heart to rest
I’m too blessed to be saved

Lonely For Lonely’s Sake
Let’s say you occupy a place in time
A place in front of death, a place behind
It’s like truth is only for lonely’s sake
Let’s say you’re walkin’ and you don’t know where
You feel a slave to heaven, just like dust in air
Like truth is only for lonely’s sake
Let’s say you’re sorry and let’s say you’re not,
don’t change your mind and pretend what you’ve got
is true
Let’s say you’re cryin’ and you don’t know why
and she’s the last reminder of a world gone by:
of youth
Babe, I’d like to remember your face,
if only for lonely’s sake

If you find your true love overnight,
let me know as soon as the sun sheds its light
Cuz we’re not trying to own you,
we’ll take you as a loan
and we forgot your birthday,
so go home
If this motion keeps you locked in place,
If this penance keeps you from His grace,
You don’t have to whisper,
they’ll hear you anyway
You don’t have to fuck me,
but I’ll pay

All You’re Askin’ For
All you want is your rights
All you’re askin’ for is what you got
If time were dead, truly
then I would a need a new control to flow
Some other force would take my hand
and then I would know
it’s not a choice, it’s by command
and then I would feel a different a man
Maybe just a drop of something
I can’t understand: a dream awake

Somebody Likes Me Up There
Somebody likes me up there
Somebody likes me up there
Somebody’s workin’, so nothing can go wrong
That somebody’s real fair
He won’t let me down, He’ll hear my prayer
Somebody’s helpin’, so nothing can go wrong
I want His light to be great
but not great enough to be burned
I hope He sees me on my knees
and I hope it helps Him feel like G-d

Uniform
I’m not the guy and you won’t settle down
so, if you want, I will go out and buy a uniform
So you might just settle down when it’s worn
So you feel you can trust me
I’m ripping off, tearing down, setting up
No pressure here, take your time, try ‘em all
that’s the way that you find the uniform that suits you
It’s really not ok, it might be torn and give you away
It might be worn by everyone someday

If you wanted to fly
or fell in love with the ocean

that your body lives on without me?

The only motive seems to be
to rouse the Titanic from peace

Peace & Love
Your brain is small and that’s my fault
and that’s your peace, your leash
I can’t sit by and watch you die
and watch me cheat, shorten up my leash
Cuz I don’t want to be so much in love
and I don’t want to be so much at peace
I don’t want to be so much in love with you
I don’t want to be so much at peace
I take your drugs, I use your toys
I fuck your girls, girls and boys
No one is G-d and that’s what’s wrong
and it’s wrong with me
I bet that you all bury Him
Because I don’t want to be so much in love
and I don’t want to be so much at peace
I don’t want to put all of my trust in You
and I don’t want to go on or cease
So, while you’re dreaming,
try to pray for death one time and
if you find her, tell her
I didn’t even try to understand it
Why did heaven give it to me?
While you’re dreaming,
try to understand and
lay a wreath of guilt at my feet
You want it all and that’s my fault
and that’s my leash
to drag around behind you now
No one is wrong and
that’s my song and
that’s my piece, peace
But I don’t want to be so much in love
and I don’t want to be so much at peace
I don’t want to be so much in love with you
I don’t want to be so much at peace

Hymn For Amos
Amos, can you help me?
I bit down on my tongue
made no appointment
but He has come
Amos, I’m in trouble
Can you help me?
Are your words true?
How can Jacob stand now?
He is so small
and your power is great
Reason
Understand it
Face the flower
Pluck the truth
Amos, I’m here to rile ya when you shut up
For three transgressions of our Father
and for four.
You who turn justice into wormwood
Into poison

G-d hates you,
so let go

I am always wrong
cuz the fear of being right is so strong
I am always dancing
inside when you’re around
You made me feel like a ghost,
when you wake I’m haunting you
When you comb your hair,
I feel a presence there
I am always wrong
I am always dancing
You made me feel like a ghost
When you comb your hair

In The Wilderness
Overbearing, but you’re left with only
the time you’re given
You hope that that’s well spent
Could rub a nickel, make two dimes
You’re safe and sorry so you’re leaving Sunday
You still got no bags, but how would you carry guilt?
I know I’d need a laundry truck
Nobody’s breaking your arm
Nobody’s breaking your arm
Nobody’s twisting it
You’re overbearing, but you’re in the wilderness
I’ll see your locusts and raise you wine and bread
I’ll maybe kill you
Maybe raise you from the dead

The Source (To Destroy A Girl)
Farewell to you, my love,
I must be moving on
There’s no time to explain my heart
I know that we made many plans
and I’d hoped to see them through
But the plans didn’t include what I need
And I don’t know what that is
I’ll trust the cold wind to take me to the source
of my longing
I know that you’ll go on and do
all the things we wanted to
You’ll save your money and you’ll still
make it to Mexico
instead of always trying to do
what’s best for two
Not best for you
I want you to
make it to Mexico
before you grow old
Somewhere in the frozen parts of Hell,
I made a choice
to destroy a girl
I know that you’ll go on and do
all the things we wanted to
You’ll save your money
Go someplace sunny
You’ll save your money and you’ll still
make it to Mexico
Instead of always trying to do
what’s best for two
Not best for you
I want you to make it to Mexico
Before you grow old

Blue 25
I was older today
but I didn’t stay
I know my place in time
And all my friends turned to clay
but I didn’t pray
I know it wastes my time
I caught myself thinking of
an older woman
a naive little girl
It takes a while to make a choice
and to understand
there was never any choice
Didn’t you remember me
when I was over 25?
I hope your blues
moves over someday
Hate your blues

Lily-Liver (Note from Underground)
Have you seen white lilies grow
on my basement home?
It’s enough to make you sick
cuz there’s no room to grow down here
You’re always knocking on wood
but it never does any good
Have you seen white lilies grow
on my basement home?
Let me know if they get too tall
I’ll pull them down, right next to me
Lay them on my chest,
they wilt with me

Platonic Friend
Jody is my bestest friend,
she comes over every day
We cook hotdogs in the microwave,
then Nintendo we do play
She’s my platonic friend, I like her but
we’ve never fooled around
I never have seen her without her clothes
cuz she’s my platonic friend
Sometimes we pretend we’re wrestlers
or we’re in a barroom fight
We roll around there on the floor
and my pants seem very tight
But she does not respond,
she knows that it would just be wrong
to do that but I don’t know how long
I can keep my hands off the tits of my ‘platonic friend’

Gender Bender
Hey, you wanna know
and I don’t ever want you not to know
So, come and get it: my tongue in a jar
in a pool, in the back of my heart
G-d, if You were me,
would You choose to never know Yourself
and live from day to day
waiting for some angel or woman
to show You the way?
Always this suffering involved
when you’re high on the love
Always this militant credo
to be one step above her
I found a frozen heart and kept it close to mine
In the thought that we could break apart
these gender roles but we decided that
it’s best just to bend them
Maybe G-d’s too hard to find
because He’s committed suicide
Maybe G-d’s been sent to hell
for creating us and forgetting to tell us why
You want to know?
Well, I don’t ever want you not to know
Pain and a love so free
so I don’t ever want you not to be like me – male

If you want it so bad,
If you want it so bad, my friend
Consider it done
Consider it done
If you need it so bad
If you need to be free from me
Consider it done
Consider me gone
Chances are you could find someone
Someone unlike me
Chances are he could be the one to
set your heart at ease
But since you’re taking your body
better pull it from my eyes
Since you’re taking your body from me,
pull it from my eyes
If you need a new dream
If you need to leave me, baby
Consider it done
Consider me dead
No, you won’t have to fight me off
I’ll leave when you say
But if you’re taking your body away from me then…
better pull it from my eyes
Exist and then you don’t, babe
Exist and then I blink
