| Come As You Are Come as you are, as you were As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy Take your time, hurry up The choice is yours, don't be late Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria Memoria Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach As I want you to be As a friend, as a trend, as an old memoria Memoria And I swear that I don't have a gun (2x with solo) |

| The Man Who Sold the World We passed upon the stairs and spoke in walls and web Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you'd died alone, a long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With The Man Who Sold The World I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home I searched for farther land, for years and years I roamed I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here We must have died alone, a long long time ago Who knows? not me We never lost control You're face to face With the Man who Sold the World |

| Dumb I'm not like them, but I can pretend The sun is gone, but I have a light The day is gone, but I'm having fun I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy My heart is broke, but I have some glue Help me inhale, and mend it with you We'll float around, and hang out on clouds Then we'll come down, and have a hangover Have a hang over Skin the sun, fall asleep Wish away, the soul is cheap Lesson learned, swish me luck Soothe the burn, wake me up I'm not like them, but I can pretend The sun is gone, but I have a light The day is gone, but I'm having fun I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy I think I'm dumb |
| Polly Polly wants a cracker I think I should get off her first I think she wants some water To put out the blow torch It isn't me, have some seed Let me clip, your dirty wings Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself I want some help, to please myself I've got some rope, you have been told I promise you, I have been true Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself I want some help, to please myself Polly wants a cracker Maybe she would like more food She asked me to untie her A chase would be nice for a few *Chorus* Polly said, Polly says her back hurts She's just as bored as me She caught me off my guard It amazes me the will of instinct *Chorus* |
| On a Plain I'll start this off without any words I got so high I scratched 'til I bled I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I've ever had Was when I learned to cry on command My brother died every night It's safe to say don't quote me on that The black sheep got blackmailed again Forgot to put on the zip code Somewhere I have heard this before In a dream my memory has stored As a defense I'm neutered and spayed What the hell am I trying to say It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense One more special message to go And then I'm done then I can go home I'm on a plain I can't complain |
| Something In the Way Underneath the bridge The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling But It's okay to eat fish, 'Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way, |
| Plateau Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds See a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you've got words Finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen And the work it took was fun The many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some say it was in Greenland and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could |
| Oh, Me If I had to lose a mile If I had to touch feelings I would lose my soul The way I do I don't have to think I only have to do it The results are always perfect But that's old news Would you like to hear my voice Sprinkled with emotion Invented at your birth? I can't see the end of me My whole expanse I cannot see I formulate infinity And store deep inside me |
| Lake of Fire Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go to the lake of fire and fry Won't see them again till the fourth of July I knew a lady who came from Duluth She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth She went to her grave just a little too soon And flew away howling on the yellow moon Now people cry and people moan They look for a dry place to call their home Try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils Fight to make them their own All Apologies What else should I be? All apologies What else should I say? Everyone is gay What else should I write? I don't have the right What else should I be? All apologies In the sun, in the sun I feel as one In the sun, in the sun I'm married! Buried! I wish I was like you: Easily amused Found my nest of salt, everything's my fault I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemies In the sun, in the sun I feel as one In the sun, in the sun I'm married! Buried! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah All in all is all we all are |
| Where Did You Sleep Last Night? My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows Her husband was a hard working man Just about a mile from here His head was found in a driving wheel But his body never was found |
