Lyrics

Don't Let It Bring You Down

Whatcha gonna do with hate?
Hate hitcha, paint a picture on your soul
And it's looking like the hand of fate
Stuck it's dirty finger up your hole
But don't let it bring you down

You ain't seen the sun for weeks
Everything you've planted has not grown
You're sitting in a boat that leaks
Head is being filled with heavy stones
But don't let it bring you down

Trippin' and Movin'

Nowhere left to go
I'm just sick of sitting on my own
Alone
Ain't nothing gonna make me happy right now
So I think I'll sit alone and get stoned
But don't bring me down
But don't bring me down
I think you know I can't afford to be brought down right now

(And she says)
But anyway why do you care?
When I needed you most
Said you weren't there
So if you need me
I'll be falling down the stairs
And wondering why when the time came
You weren't even there

Think I'm spinning out of control
I'm a hypocondriatic addict
I'm just trippin' and a-movin' like a rolling stone
Ooh I'm just trippin' and a-movin' like a rolling stone

Caged Birds

You might have to forget
The things you hold dear
You might have to live your whole life
Just waiting in fear
You might think the line is getting shorter
Or your train's getting near
But

We're all caged birds here

Oh your head is pounding
It's ringing in your ear
Your sick of it all
And you want to disappear
It'll only get harder
As you stack on the years
'Cause

We're all caged birds here

(Solo)

Oh you're riding high
But you can't steer
How beautiful the music
That you can't hear
You can hide in a hole
Or bottle your tears
But

We're all caged birds here

Can't Trust Billy (That Fucking Song)

He already sold his sanity
Now he's pimping his kids it seems
But up until he met a Mister Johnny Cocaine
He was humping the American dream
Now he's strung out in a basement
Looking for his next hit
Watch him now he's going down
And he will never get out of it

But you can't trust Billy
Billy don't care
No, you can't trust Billy
He don't care

He was working in an automobile dealership
'Til Johnny came a-calling
And Billy started to slip
Now Billy's turning tricks in a subway
Sucking cock for a couple of dimes
But he says "Hey man, life don't matter much to me."
He say it's just a sign of the times

But you can't trust Billy
Billy don't care
No, you can't trust Billy
He don't care

Mobility Tango

You know you really rubbed it in my face
So why should I feel guilty?
Hey when I retort
You put bleach in my life support
When you cut me short
Now it burns like a blowtorch
Bitter blues and a broken heart

But not me
Not now
Even if it's just the outside looking in
No not me
Not now
Even if it takes some time to scratch off the broken skin

Things are just a little bit strange right now
Than when I knew you well
But what the hell
I'm just pissing in my wishing well
Waiting for time to tell
If I tripped or fell
But what the hell

Hey but not me
Not now
Even if it's just the outside looking in
No not me
Not now
Even if takes some time to scratch off the broken skin

Scratch off baby
Not me not now

Sweet Lorretta

One of us is half right
The other one just lies
While she sold me a sweater
And she threw me outside
I looked again
But it wasn't her
Looking through those eyes
And something inside of me
It died

But oh sweet Lorretta
You're really a waste
Making love
To everyone you hate

Well she twitched and screamed and turned red
Passed out on the flo'
So I went and slept in her bed
And smoked myself a bowl
And when she awoke she screamed said, 
"I don't want you 'round no more."
And with smoke pouring out
I ran through the door

But oh sweet Lorretta
You're really a waste
Making love
To everyone you hate

You Won't See Me Again

You'll start out proud to do
Anything she wants you to
But you'll wind up looking through
Her keyhole 'cause her door is shut on you
And you won't believe it's true

Watch your step now
Mind the rain
It might drive you insane
In that love there's only pain
So no my love you won't see me again

And should you ever corner me
Well I'll pull down
And give up there
So speak the truth to me
Can't rebuild what's beyond repair

Watch your step now
Mind the rain
It might drive you insane
In that love there's only pain
So no my love you won't see me again

Half The Heartbroken World
Think about it kid
But don't ask your mama
Everybody know that her name ain't Ruth
Think about it kid
But don't ask your doctor
He'll never tell you the truth

Think about it
But don't ask the cop
He got suspicion but he ain't got proof
Think
But watch your paranoia
Don't you go and shoot through the roof

And then I raised my voice to ask him what he done
He said, "Half the heartbroken world has come undone, son."

Think about it kid
But don't ask your dealer
He don't love you like he say he do
Think about it kid
But don't ask your daddy
He'll only tell you it's you

Think about it
But don't blame me
I never knew that you'd take it this far
Think
But look at where you're going
Where you been and where you are

And then he stuck his nose close to mine and said
"See, all of them are imposters and so are you and me."

They keep you tied at the wrist
And send you message subliminal
They rob you blind
But make you feel like a criminal

And then I raised my voice to ask him what he done
He said, "Half the heartbroken world has come undone, son."

And I just said, "Fuck it."

Marita Conchita

Well I like to be like everybody else
Yes I like to be amused
The one with the blonde and the ass
That's the one I'm gonna use

We line up in twos and threes
Flex our egos hard as we can
And pull out our pieces of meat
See who's the bigger man

But when Marita Conchita pulled hers
Everybody just turned and ran
So come high and low 
And all the places in between
You ain't seen nothing like Marita the queen

Well I got no use for you fuckin' hippies all the faggots that you pardon
All I know is that my motor's a monster and I never go home with a hard on
I don't care where you're from, don't care what you do
All I know is all night you've been eyeing my brand new cowboy shoes

But when Marita Conchita turned 'round
She really gave me the news
So come high and low 
And all the places in between
You ain't seen nothing like Marita the queen

Sissy Spacecase

Well they killed Ol' Sissy Spacecase
You know I read it in the news today
Well she barely tied her bootlace
When she up and blew away
Hey hey hey
Well she lost all her contacts
Her friends led her astray
Well she barely signed the contract
When the ground beneath gave way
Hey hey hey
