Whip-smart

Im gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green
And whip smart as the english channels wide
And Im gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
And his watch on any hand between his thighs
And Im gonna lock my son up in a tower till I write my whole lifes story on the back of his big brown eyes
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
Im gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap
And games are just another way of life
And Im gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes
Because for every truth there are half a million lies
And Im gonna lock my son up in a tower till he learns to let his hair down
Far enough to climb outside
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing

Ill Get You High

Saw your car, so I know youre here
Its been such a long time, looking totally weird
But I dont remember why
Pull the trigger and die
What a beautiful day for a drive
Not a cloud left in the sky
Why dont you give me a ride to the studio
Ill get you high
Ill get you high
[sung to the tune of the flintstones theme:]
Bimbo, meet the bimbo
Shes a modern stone-age family
Drowned out, thrown out of glencoe
Shes a face without a history
Now that cat will stay out for the night
Fred gets in a terrifying fight
We all back down and beg him not tonight
Come in the living room and dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
In that old familiar valley

Dead Shark

Dont be so rude
I was only trying to make conversation
Hey, dont go down, this is not going anywhere
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
Im just trying to get a handle on this
Im just trying to figure out where to stand
Im just trying
So sue me for trying
Do I just have a problem, or did you also think that this was hot?
I really hate talking to you on the telephone
Cant we just work it out
That you come on over?
Cant we just work it out
That you stay here tonight?
Im not looking over my shoulder
Im not gazing up at the stars
Im not thinking of five years in the future
Im just wondering where youll sleep tonight

Firewalker

My hopes are like embers lying around inside a firebed and
Your mind is a firewalker, it steps on them like they are dead but
I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy, like joy
Me, I'm like a wild flame that catches on whatever's near but
Your mind is a firewalker, it sets its course and never veers but
I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy, like joy
Take offers from every side and give my attentions about anywhere well
Do I recognize my actions, I look like I'm so unaware like

Down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Butterfly lets her wing brush past your shoulder
I know you know her around by the way she's so familiar
You keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
All the time you were telling me you loved me
You've been sleeping around
And the shame of it hangs above me like a cloud
You're bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Bringin' me
Down, down, down

Soap Star Joe

He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pick-up
And he won't leave town till you remember his name
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for some lonely billboard to grace
They say he sprung from the skull of athena
Think about your own head and the headache he gave
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for action at a price he can pay
They say he's famous, but no one can prove it
Make him an offer just to see what he'll say
Check out the dashboard lights
Glowing all green and white
He feels safe in the dark
He wears his bluejeans tight
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pick-up
And he won't leave town till you remember his name

Blood Keeper

Do it right
Save time
Make love
Feel fine about everything
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane.
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Look right
Shield my eyes
Cough it up
Apologize to everyone
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Lovely body parts for everyone
Come and take them off right now
What do you need them for, its just the two of us
No ones asking you why
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?

Beginning To See The Light

You want me home, but Im gone all night
And weve probably been in some kind of fight
But if thats not real, and thats not right...
And Im beginning to see the light
Yes, Im beginning to see the light
When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace
And I may be young, but I still know
The things you put down can rise from below
And I can hardly believe you would lay this at my door
cause I have heard that song before
Yes, I have heard that song before
When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace

You Have No Idea

You have no idea how much I love you
What I would do for your natural touch
And you have no idea just how I'd hold you
When I am woken from a dream, something bad had happened to us
But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me
And I've worn out my pride
And I've torn at the sky
And I've beaten at the devil
With one heathenist sigh
And I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive
You have no idea how much it moves me
Just staring deeply into your green eyes
And you have no idea just how completely I adore you
You would be so surprised
But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me
