Attack of the Sun
04:10
|
|||
feel the heat coming down from the sky,
and keep on thinking how we’re all gonna die,
soon everyone will see,
that the sun is our worst enemy,
all you can do is stay inside,
we all know there is no where to hide,
and that there is no where to run, from the attack of the sun…
it has begun…attack of the sun
it’ll singe your eyebrows off, and then burn your clothes off,
and burn off all of your hair, and then burn your nose off
it will burn every flower, every tree - every bird and all of the bees,
and all the monkeys all the fleas, the sun will boil all the manatees.
clawing our way through a labyrinth furnace
why is the sun determined to burn us?
faces sopping with sweat and grime
soon to melt altogether, a matter of time
wait for all thought and feeling to cease
heat the one condition
death the release
eternal botherment before will only increase
it has begun…attack of the sun

The Ancient Ones
02:05
|
|||
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
the ancient ones have come at last to take away your soul
they'll rip your heart right out of your chest and leave a gaping hole
they'll take a red hot poker and gouge out both your eyes
and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh at all your pitiful cries
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
yes they'll gouge your eyeballs out and piss into the sockets
stick roman candles up your ass and also bottle rockets
then they'll rip your tongue out with great big rusty tongs
all the while cackling and singing ancient songs
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
and then they'll do the same to everyone you love
while your soul is hovering watching helpless from above
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!

Pocketful of Gold
02:00
|
|||
so you’ve come back into my life like you’ve done before,
pounding on my door, you know I can’t ignore, a pocket full of gold
it’s you, you that I adore but you wanted more and more...
And you, knew I’d do just what I’m told for a pocket full of gold
la… la la la la la… la la la la la… a pocket full of gold...

Little Orphant Annie
04:29
|

Little Orphant Annie’s come to our house to stay,
An’ wash the cups an’ saucers up, an’ brush the crumbs away,
An’ shoo the chickens off the porch, an’ dust the hearth, an’ sweep,
An’ make the fire, an’ bake the bread, an’ earn her board-an’-keep;
An’ all us other childern, when the supper things is done,
We set around the kitchen fire an’ has the mostest fun
A-list’nin’ to the witch-tales ‘at Annie tells about,
An’ the Gobble-uns ‘at gits you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out!
Onc’t they was a little boy wouldn’t say his prayers,—
So when he went to bed at night, away up stairs,
His Mammy heerd him holler, an’ his Daddy heerd him bawl,
An’ when they turn’t the kivvers down, he wasn’t there at all!
An’ they seeked him in the rafter-room, an’ cubby-hole, an’ press,
An’ seeked him up the chimbly-flue, an’ ever’wheres, I guess;
But all they ever found was thist his pants an' roundabout--
An’ the Gobble-uns’ll git you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out!
An’ one time a little girl ‘ud allus laugh an’ grin,
An’ make fun of ever’one, an’ all her blood an’ kin;
An’ onc’t, when they was “company,” an’ ole folks was there,
She mocked ‘em an’ shocked ‘em, an’ said she didn’t care!
An’ thist as she kicked her heels, an’ turn’t to run an’ hide,
They was two great big Black Things a-standin’ by her side,
An’ they snatched her through the ceilin’ ‘fore she knowed what she’s about!
An’ the Gobble-uns’ll git you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out!
An’ little Orphant Annie says when the blaze is blue,
An’ the lamp-wick sputters, an’ the wind goes woo-oo!
An’ you hear the crickets quit, an’ the moon is gray,
An’ the lightnin’-bugs in dew is all squenched away,--
You better mind yer parents, an’ yer teachers fond an’ dear,
An’ churish them ‘at loves you, an’ dry the orphant’s tear,
An’ he’p the pore an’ needy ones ‘at clusters all about,
Er the Gobble-uns’ll git you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out!

The Sea
02:34
|
|||
the weather's getting rough and there's no land left in sight
we are so afraid we'll sleep beneath the waves tonight
the wind is picking up and it's swirling all around
if it doesn't stop we will all bloody drown
the sea the sea the sea is calling me
I've foreseen my death and my death is the sea
the first mate has his bible and he's dropped down on his knees
he keeps on praying while we're swept out on the seas
the captain's in his quarters he's drank up all the rum
that old bloody bastard he could have saved us some
the ship is going down can this really be the end?
remember me me darlings raise a glass to toast me friends
because the sea the sea the sea is calling me
I've foreseen my death and my death is the sea

Swimming Away
03:32
|
|||
my siren song it drags all the men under
their ships meet the rocks and they're lost to the tide
then their undead water zombies rise to the surface
and hunt me down to be their bride
we'd go off and live in the sea monsters palace
in the hole in the bottom of the sea
in the suburbs of an underwater volcano
were any them to ever catch me
so I must keep swimming and swimming
and swimmin and swimmin awayyyyyyy
gotta keep swimmin and swimmin
and swimmin swimmin awaaaaaaaay
dont wanna be no water zombie bride..
wed to some jerk who drowned in the tiiiide
mother of ten thousand screaming zombie
mermaid babieeeees
that is not the life I want
for meeeeeeee
so I gotta keep swimmin and swimmin and
swimmin and swimmin awaaaaaayyy
foreverrrrrrr

We Sank It!
03:01
|
|||
heres a game that we play where we win to lose
grab a thing, anything doesnt matter what we choose
take it straight to the nearest waterbody brown or blue
hurl it in and submerge it til its out of view
and say we sank it! we sank it!
we sank it! by george we sank it!
in a river dunk a weasel with a popsicle
in a fjord a flaming skull on a tricycle
in a loch drop our keys, wooden teeth, and doublethink
any water any where all the things in the drink
we say we sank it! we sank it!
we sank it! bye jorge we sank it!
yes a game you can play where you win to lose
yes as long as you do what we told you to
you can sink it by yourself or with people with tattoos
you can sink with Organ Failure or fellows who refuse
we say we sank it! we sank it!
we sank it! bye bye we sank it!

The Love Joke
01:56
|
|||
love pathetic and lame
good for nothing but excructiating pain
and love will drive you insane
it's a disease that eats away your brain
the love joke soon we'll be breaking another heart
the love joke soon we'll be tearing our lives apart
set a course for disaster your mind on a doomed romance
and love will hurt even more
it's like pouring salt on an infected sore
it's love you better run its love

Poor Earth
04:43
|
|||
the earth is alone in its own dimension no other life in our universe.
the earth had a dysfunctional upbringing
If there were life on other planets,
the earth wouldn't know how to get along
the earth gets fixated on lunatic ideas
the earth does not know it's true purpose
narcissistic and paranoid the earth can easily be destroyed
looks in the mirror thinks it's fat
the earth often wishes it were flat
the earth was happier when it was young
the earth has forgotten how to have fun
no other planets will talk to it
This makes the earth kinda feel like shit
poor earth poor little earth poor earth poor messy old earth
earth waits for the aliens to come back
It's been too long and it makes earth sad..
did the earth do something to make them mad?
when they knocked up the monkeys it left a big mess
after that, earth was never the same place
all covered in plastic and toxic waste
poor earth poor messy old earth poor earth poor lonely little earth
the earth has decided to give up
its waiting for the asteroid to blow it up
the earth is alone in its own dimension no other life in our universe
