and all your pretty pennies,
they gonna weigh you down
gonna make you drown drown, drown drown drown,

and everybody’s gonna get a turn

I drew a spaceship
When I was only nine.
Mailed it to the company,
and they looked at my design.
They responded with a letter.
Said “we don’t need one at this time.”
My plans, they were rejected,
so I wrote them my reply.
“You don’t need a spaceship?
Well you sure won’t be on mine.
Cuz I don’t have a fuckin’ spaceship.
I gotta big blue van instead.”
You need too much.
You need.
Darlin, pretty darlin’.
I’ll take you for a ride.
Sweetheart, can’t you hear me?
Talk to me and ease my mind.
I don’t jave a fuckin’ spaceship
I gotta big blue van instead.
You need too much.
…or maybe me.

Two little monkeys
Hanging in a tree, saying,
“Mr. Alligator, you can’t catch me.
No you can’t catch me.”
Mr. Alligator crawls up through the tree
Just as quiet as a killer can be.
Now there’s one little monkey
Hanging in the tree, saying
“Mr. Alligator, you can’t catch me
No you can’t catch me.”
Mr. Alligator creepss up through the tree
Just as quiet as a killer can be.
Now, Mr. Alligator goes crawling through the mud.
Goes back to the swamp with a belly full of blood.
You can hear them screaming.
It echoes through the trees, saying
“Mr Alligator, you can’t catch me
No you can’t catch me.”

Harpoon Dagger

You know a man
Who wants to hold on to both of your hands
Who wants to grab you into his hands
and make real sweet love to you.
I’ll tell you
a little riddle you will understand
about the heart-felt broken man
who thinks the whole wide world of you.
He thinks the whole wide world of you.
Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.
When he
wrote the riddle he was facing the sun.
Lord, never wanted him to hurt no one.
But god damn what’s a man to do?
Oh honey, what could he do?
Who could it be?
A tall glass or a sip of tea?
A tall tale or a mystery?
A sailor man or a god of the sea?
Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.
What it is
Is the quiver of a silvery part.
A harpoon dagger you can see in the dark.
When the moon shines in your house.
Oh no, you never wanted it to be like this.
Like a double-edged bait and switch.
Barbed wire on your lips.
Barbie doll swinging those pretty hips.
Oh my house in on fire
My house is coming down.

You made us dumb,
And now we’re mad.
You can make us run,
and tie that bag.
Now that ain’t no fun,
while you hold the bag.
Uh-oh, oh-no, my friends.
Better call the U.N.
Better call Greyhound bus station
and get outta town.
Bad news travels fast,
In the land of gas.
The American flag,
burns awfully fast.
Just one little match,
and all that gas.
Yeah, you made us dumb,
and now we’re mad.
Yeah, you gave us all guns,
and you fold our flag.
You might-a changed your name,
but you still wear that mask.

buzz buzz baby
I’m making sound
I’m buzzing around your tree

don’t give it back to me
Drive me crazy
let’s drive around all up and down the sea
Turn round baby
Just turn around
and go to town with me
Spin my engine
I’ll hit the gas and make it last, hey hey.

Don’t wanna move to a city
Where everybody knows you
So I live in a city
Where everybody knows me
Whoa yeah
Don’t walk in here with nickels on your shoes
Whoa yeah
Just move away and have ‘em come to you
I just keep living
Like i want to
I don’t wear helmet
I ain’t planning on running into you.
Whoa yeah
I just buried this one into you
You think you’re so pretty
Well I’ve got news for you
You’re the prettiest lady
That a god-damned man ever seen
Whoa yeah
I heard you say that I’ve been cold and mean
Whoa yeah
Well, I’m very nice
I’m like a nice machine
I wanna buy a big boat
Fly it over that big sea
I wanna land on the runway
See you waiting on me
Whoa yeah,
I’m CIA and you’re my KGB
Whoa yeah
We’re two old-fashioned
walking mysteries.

Lost At Sea

Pretty pretty girl up in them hills
Do you think you could love me still?
You've got the hair like a red wild fire
You've got the horns like the devil, too
You're a river running through my mind
The kind of river makes a man go blind
Would you love me though I told you a lie
Or if I ever was so clever to try?
No, never ever will you be my girl.
If you're a siren I am lost at sea
If you're Athena I'm a Hercules
But I'm trouble, babe, I've got to leave
Cuz I'm a trick crawling up your sleeve.
No, never ever will you be my girl.
I think I'm falling for you deeper still
You keep on climbing up a steeper hill
But in my dreams you will have to stay
Please never ever
Go away.
Never ever will you be my girl.
