Man From Pakistan
This man was walking, down by the curb,
He had lost his saddle in the mud.
This guy was crying, tears from his eyes,
Part of his body was paralyzed.
I thought it was a dream.
Strangest thing Ive seen.
Oer and oer and over, til I think I dont exist.
So I went up to him, and asked him what
He was doing, and who he was.
He said his memory had been dilluted,
He said he once was electrocuted.
I thought it was a dream.
Strangest thing Ive seen.
Oer and oer and over, til I think I dont exist.
He said hed come from pakistan,
Where he was beaten by a policeman.
Thats why he walked, a duty crawl.
And acted like he knew it all.
I thought it was a dream.
Strangest thing Ive seen.

Waitin' For Superman
Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them

The Ceiling Is Bendin
Well, its midnight in a liquor store
In texas on halloween
Salvador dali watches
From his window in a dream
Jesus is a rock star
Who destroys all he sees
Godzilla is a cowboy
Who is dressed up as a queen
She isnt as depressed as she used to be
Come on over here, my dear
Well, I hold my head real still
So I cant see very far
They got all these vietnamese
Heads stuffed into jars
They got all these things
That make them look like theyre way in
They use polythene plastics
On their bods instead of skin
If I had someone to talk to
I wouldnt mind so much

Shine On Sweet Jesus
(jesus song no. 5)
Waitin for my ride
Jesus is floatin outside
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin the water rise
Im gettin lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Watchin the planets shine
Reflecting yourself in the sky
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Scraping these smiles of mine
Impossible one at a time
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Jesus is at my side,

Jesus Shootin Heroin
Well, I never really understood religions,
Except it seems a good reason to kill.
Everybodys got their own conceptions,
And you know, they always will.
These days are needles under my skin.
Jesus shootin heroin.
If there are priests at your party,
And youre playing cards that are numbered,
And you got no reason to think it,
Until your chances are uncovered.
Tell me that I got to believe in,
Jesus shootin heroin.
The police in new york city,
Chased a boy, right through the park.
In a case of mistaken identities,
They put a bullet through his heart.
I met mary, on the corner with the streetlights.
She asked me if Id come up to her room.
I told her that I didnt have no money.
She said she had to leave pretty soon.

River Man
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.
Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all i can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure.

One More Robot
Sympathy 3000-21 - Unit three thousand twenty one is warning Makes a humming sound When its circuits duplicate emotions And a sense of coldness detaches As it tries to comfort your sadness One more robot learns to be Something more than a machine When it tries the way it does Makes it seem like it can love Cause it's hard to say what's real When you know the way you feel Is it wrong to think it's love When it tries the way it does Feeling a synthetic kind of love Dreaming a sympathetic wish As the lights blink faster and brighter One more robot learns to be Something more than a machine When it tries the way it does Makes it seem like it can love Cause it's hard to say what's real When you know the way you feel Is it wrong to think it's love When it tries the way it does

Chrome Plated Suicide
If all my dreams were a tidal wave
And every day was christmas
We could spend our lives in the drip
At the edge of the world
Cause love does things that you cant see
Its like telepathic surgery
And cuts and scrapes just like iggy pop thrown in a hole
If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing in the world
You and me in a chrome reflection
We were born to suffer some
Please dont chase me from this jail
You know it looks so nice
If all my dreams were a microwave
And every day was summer
When I feel this way, you know
We should start our own religion
If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words

Up The Down Escalator
I'm gazing at faces
Staring blankly at me
I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million times
I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Oh give me a hint or something
Now they can erase us
At the flick of a switch
How long will they wait
No!
There must be something wrong boys
Obnoxious actions
Obnoxious results
Teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures
And dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
Sitting at tables
And throwing the scraps

One More Robot / Sympathy 3000-21
Unit three thousand twenty one is warning
Makes a humming sound - when its circuits
Duplicate emotions - and a sense of coldness detaches
As it tries to comfort your sadness -
One more robot learns to be something more than
A machine - when it tries the way it does - make it seem
Like it can love -
Cause it's hard to say what's real - when you know the
Why you feel - is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does...
Feeling a synthetic kind of love
Dreaming a sympathetic wish -
As the lights blink faster and brighter -
One more robot learns to be something more than
A machine - when it tries the way it does - make it seem
Like it can love -
Cause it's hard to say what's real - when you know the
Why you feel - is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does
