Stadium Wiener

Well I took my girl to a baseball game
Down in good ol’ Pasadena
Seventh inning and pretty lame
But then I saw the stadium wiener
(Sausage!) Running ‘cross the field, yeah
(Sausage!) On his dainty feet
The biggest one I’d ever seen was
Right in front of me
Well the team stopped playing and the crowd went wild
Down in hungry Pasadena
Every man and every child
Started chasing the stadium wiener
(Sausage!) Now they’re onto you, yeah
(Sausage!) But you’re way too slow
If you wanna live, you gotta run
Like the winds of Chicago
Run, you big, fat, juicy, processed sausage!
(Sausage!) Now they’ve got to you, yeah
(Sausage!) And they’ve filled the pit
A thousand forks and a thousand knives
Chopped you into a thousand bits, alright
(Sausage!) What a way to go, yeah
(Sausage!) Eaten in the seventh
I hope you found your sausage God
Up there in hot dog Heaven

Something isn't right
Going through the motions and I'm ready to ignite
Out of touch
Day by boring day
They think I'm a stranger, I'm a needle in the hay
It's too much
And it's just not right to be yourself with them, yeah
When they've skinned you down to every bone
Kings or losers all create hysteria
I'll create my own
He said
"I'm surrounded by execs in Brooks Brothers suits, and they tell me that I am so groovy!"
Keep your head intact, keep it still
"They say 'Boy, you could get all the girls in the world and get featured in all of our movies!'"
Looks so delicate, looks that kill
And it's just not right to be yourself with them, yeah
When they've skinned you down to every bone
Kings or losers all create hysteria
This world's so hysterical
It's so hysterical
They're so hysterical
You're so hysterical
I'm so hysterical
I'm not sorry for my ways, yeah
I'm not looking for better places

Babe, I've got to tell you straight, I enjoyed being your toy
I guess you're really my dream girl, just as I was your dream boy
But you have got a nerve to think I'd ever want you back
Yeah, you've got a nerve to think I'd let you run back up those tracks
Oh, you know it babe
‘Cause I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
Can't seem to get up now
Yeah I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
Time to turn to dust now
Started off as friends - well yeah, isn't that just quite the shock?
And you said I was your lover ‘cause I was the only one in stock
Well as much as you say you love me and as much as I say I love you
This Lone Star State of Texas isn’t big enough for two
No, no, honey
‘Cause I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
Can't seem to get up now
Yeah I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
Time to turn to dust now
Yeah I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
I know that we've fallen
Time to turn to dust now

Superqueen
02:02
|

|
You’re standing on the floor
She’s standing by the door
A shadow from a world
That you have not discovered
You’ve got to take the chance
You’ve got to make her dance
Forget the crazy girls
She’s not like all the others
You save the sweetest songs
For all the sweetest girls
But you don’t know which one
To save your favorite one for
She is your superqueen
You are her favorite thing
Now don’t you hesitate
Just go and tell her you love her now
Won’t you come and tell her you love her?

Prophets

I used to like to be awake
All I ever do is cloud my head
I refuse to eat shit but I will if i'm persuaded
I had a brain child and he's retarded
I dont wanna have to raise that kid
Shout out to the criminal justice system
Man, I'm superior (AYE, DICKHEAD!)
I'll wait forever if I must
Prophets can't tell me what is what
I'll wait forever if I must
To get what I deserve: a goddamn nap
I used to know what it's like to be able to do shit right
I'm sick of playing all these games
Yo I'm back on my maple grind
No sleep, no point in all this shit
Ode to the bees, they're innocent
My dog kick flips fuck a beta fish
Curiosity didn't kill him, the Crips did
I'll wait forever if I must
Prophets can't tell me what is what
I'll wait forever if I must
To get what I deserve: a goddamn nap

Welcome to Sheol
Man, it's hot as hell
I'm here cause I'm a murderer
Man it sucks, to get in is ten bucks but
At least we got Whataburger
Stabbed a guy, made him die, sittin' in Sheol
He was made of clay, he had to pay, now we're sittin' in Sheol
I'm never bored, I've played my chord sittin' in Sheol
Yeah we're sittin' here for a million years!
Yeah we're sittin' in Sheol

Oklahoma

Got to find myself in these modern city days
Need to take advice from my ancestors' ways
Gonna start myself again, gonna keep chasing fate
In this fascinating panhandled state
Oklahoma, Oklahoma, I'm not the best to dance
But Oklahoma, Oklahoma, please give me a chance
Does anybody live in Moore, or is it just a desert with a short name?
Has anybody made it back to where they came from?
I've gotta stop writing songs about my pessimistic worldview
So I'll see you in the heartland of the Kickapoo
Oklahoma, Oklahoma, I'm a little blue
But Oklahoma, Oklahoma, you are little too
Oklahoma, Oklahoma, this cowboy's out of luck
Keep the roads paved cleanly when I pull up in my truck

Caroline
04:30

Met a girl from Tulsa in the Philbrook’s galleries
Couldn’t take my mind off of her smile
She carried an umbrella and a book about Matisse
That’s when I knew that I had got to drive for miles and ages
She’s contagious
Couldn’t get her scent out of my skin
Time stood still and we grew ill
So I grabbed the heavy book and took to sing:
“Caroline, oh, Caroline
The music in your head’s the same as mine
Caroline, oh, Caroline
If love is endless, you’re the sign”
You’ve never traveled out of this depressing little state
So let’s drive through oceans in my car
But this world is finite and the hour’s getting late
How ‘bout I rev her up and drive you to the stars and planets?
Didn’t plan it
But nothing good in life is ever planned
‘Cause we’re two dancers, two romancers
Your dress is yellow like a mango
This is the part where we tango
(Follow my moves, mi amor...)
This club’s got nothing to write home about
The juke is drunk on coins and beer
But as the other patrons twist and shout
I hold you close and scream into your ear
Caroline, oh, Caroline
The music in your head’s the same as mine
Caroline, oh, Caroline
When I’m beside you then the world is fine
One more time!
Caroline, oh, Caroline
The music in your head’s the same as mine
Caroline, oh, Caroline
If love is endless, you’re the sign, sign, sign, sign, sign

Adventure
04:26
|

|
It feels so alone to be one thousand miles from home
Only accompanied by the water and the foam
I can’t keep pushing through this river
There’s frost in the air and ice on my tongue
But I’ll bear through the rapids and the shivers
For the better person I’ll become
Ah, don’t hold me in the waves
Ah, don’t let me glide away
The darkness is doubling and there’s not one slip of light
I’m losing my energy to the shadows of the night
Remember my loving girl and I clench her ring
I picture her face there in the snow
The only thing worth to life is adventuring
As long as you understand the road
Ah, don’t lead my mind astray
Ah, don’t let me glide away
Then, at the river’s edge, I see a looming storm
The wood of my aging boat has long since gotten worn
I’m seeing my old man by the strait
He says, “Son, remember ‘till you’re old
That you are the captain of your fate
Yeah, you are the master of your soul”
Ah, don’t hold me in the waves
Ah, don’t let me glide away

Tell me why you don't love me no more
I'll play your game, and you'll keep the score
Leave all the suitcases at the door
I love you, I hate you
You are an animal that can't be tamed
I am the ashes left by your flame
Made the mistake of thinking we were one and the same
Summertime has turned to fall
And recollection stains the walls
But I'd rather feel forgetful and alone
Baby, you're a superstar
But you've taken this too far
Don't forget to leave a message at the tone
You are me, you aren't me
Your sweetness, it haunts me
Got too many things to do 'cause
I've got to think your whole mind through
You are me, you aren't me
You leave me, then you want me
You've got some dust there on your crown
Take it off and take me down, yeah
Stepping outside and feeling the breeze
I've got some tricks that are packed in my sleeves
Lemons are pouring down from the trees
I'll savor their flavors
She's got a heart that's black as the night
She's got an enemy there in her sights
She is a war I do not have the power to fight
Television's gleaming blue
Setting up a date for two
But one is gone and the other's gone-away
Darling, I am feeling fine
But I've got you on my mind
Don't remember what had driven me to say
"You are me, you aren't me
Your sweetness, it haunts me
Got too many things to do 'cause
I've got to think your whole mind through
You are me, you aren't me
You leave me, then you want me
You've got some dust there on your crown
Take it off and take me down"

I’m feeling lonely and a little bit grumpy
The finest lady in the world just dumped me
It started out with just a kiss on the tongue
We watched a film, but I told her that it wasn’t fun
She took my hand and we got up out of our seats
I felt the lips so sweet
And we were
Dirty dancing in the Texas Theatre
She said she loved me, but I don’t need her
I said “Baby, I don’t wanna be here”
No, no, no
Should’ve seen her there the way I’d seen her
She went out with a Saturday night fever
I don’t know what she said, but I remember we were
Dirty dancing in the Texas Theatre
How it all came to happen, I’m not sure
She should have known I meant that movie and not her
Well, I am not the one to break her heart
Some boring movie drove the two of us apart
She’s cut contact and she won’t return my calls
She made the whole world fall
‘Cause we were
Dirty dancing in the Texas Theatre
She said she loved me, but I don’t need her
I said “Baby, I don’t wanna be here”
No, no, no
Should’ve seen her there the way I’d seen her
She went out with a Saturday night fever
I don’t know what she said, but I remember we were
Dirty dancing in the Texas Theatre

The New Bizarre
05:02
|

|
A wise man said that we’re all words and no ideas
I think we’ve sacrificed our art for what is freer
Prepackaged souls lie on the shelves of an IKEA
Have we forgotten how to change the times?
I’ve lost focus of all my sight
I’ll do what I think is alright
Tear into the canvases until they’re gnawed
Turn over the tidal waves and beat the odds
When every film’s a rehash and everyone’s a star
I wanna be the new bizarre
I’ve seen creative minds destroyed by repetition
I’ve seen the fragile minds forced into competition
I’ve watched the pretty faces cast on television
And all I’ve learned is that I’m not the only one
The last carcass that had known fun
It swelled and dried up in the sun
So I’ll tear into the canvases until they’re gnawed
Turn over the tidal waves and beat the odds
When every film’s a rehash and everyone’s a star
I wanna be the new bizarre

Two Thousand Blue
03:30
|
|||
|
The clock has spiraled off, and I’m trying not to sleep
My mind has wandered into a hundred different streets
The city’s melted in the scorching summer heat
But I’m still so cold, yeah I’m so alone
Only talking to my ordinary friends
Only catching up on extraordinary trends
The silly fun and games amuse me to no ends
But I’m still a toad, yeah I’m still so bored
Can you give me just a minute or give me two?
I’m the middle child of history, and I’ve got nothing to do
Ain’t a good soul in this city, not me, not you
I’m the mascot of my century, born in two thousand blue
The clothes I’m putting on don’t fit me anymore
Another universe awaits behind my door
I drink a cup of coffee and head down to the store
Try to make ends meet in this town of greed
I get my pocket cash from a temporary job
I hear the same old speech from my sedentary boss
He says
“To hell with your ideas, man, don’t put ‘em on my table
I’ll get so big I’ll put the President on my payroll!”
Can you give me just a minute or give me two?
I’m the middle child of history, and I’ve got nothing to do
Ain’t no good soul in this city, not me, not you
I’m the mascot of my century, born in two thousand blue
And I don’t need any more of that bitterness
I’ve got to get up, grow up, get out
The world could rest behind my fingertips
If I could get up, grow up, and get out
