Everything is happening all the time (don't remind me) Please don't hide away (Everything is happening all the time) Everything is happening all the time And though it confounds me, drowns me, I can still see sunshine At least this time

I was born out in Olympia before we moved out west To a town that no one cares about unless we're talking meth But I guess if you just think about it everything makes sense If your brother is a superstar, then your sister is a fence And if you think you are a failure, then you probably won't get far There's a billion other strangers driving that same old rusty car And if you think that you are better just because you have a star Remember anyone can pass you just by pumping a little bit harder Oh yeah, pumping just a little bit harder All my life, I thought I had it all in sight But now I only wonder why There ain't no one human person who can tell me what is right There ain't no one human girlfriend who can show me the light Because everyone is broken in their own peculiar why I am only more confused when you tell me everything's okay Oh please, don't say anything Why do we keep singing love songs when the world is up in flames? What's the point of making friends when vulnerability is estranged? In a world where we are more concerned with Facebook than with face We await the coming crisis when God drowns the human race Again without a trace And I'm like all my life, I thought everyone was on my side But no, everybody wants the pie And nobody's gonna get it but not everybody's gonna try I will lie down in the backyard with my dearest friend tonight We will make sweet love until the sunbeams flash and it's time to go inside While I clasp my hands together, and I scream into the night I will set his house on fire and come running to his wife And we will stand around in the kitchen with that glazed look in our eyes We will stab one another in the backseat until our backs are red and white We will dance around in the kitchen spilling cracker crumbs and wine We will hang ourselves on the bathroom walls until we see the light Oh, until we see the light And all my life, all I wanna know is why I waste so much goddamn time Trying to find my place here when all I'm gonna do is die Yeah all I'm gonna do is die Yeah all I'm gonna do is die.

[YEEHAW, I GUESS THAT IS ALL] Applebee, she's pretty when she wants to be She thinks she's pretty pretty for me But I really hate her cynicism besides She's not my type of restaurant subsidiary You take your bright lights and your big city And you condense it to a dream fueled by your diffident self-pity And you stare up at the sun until your vision goes gone Because you're stupid. You really don't know shit, do you? But oh, you're writing cryptic poems again (how nice) What a surprising turn of events And if you let it all go, you'll never know What a strange new attraction For our friends down at the fashion show Applebee, don't wanna be like anyone else But you are so get over yourself As Peter, Paul, and Mary once said Most people dying on crosses usually stay dead And how come no one told you before? Well as the saying goes, you win some, lose most Well I suppose your pessimism's really growing old And I think that you'll be okay So let's just calm the fuck down Don't you stop writing cryptic poems ever, okay? You will feel better again someday And if you let it all go, you'll never know (AND YOU NEVER WILL, EITHER) What a strange satisfaction it could be for our friends Who I hear have been suffering lately at the fascist show

My friend love is outta sight But if you want some, boy you're really gonna have to fight My friend sex is at an all time high, baby girl Comes at a low low low low low low low low price And there's wrong, girl You know there's wrong in the world And now there is right You keep my strong, girl (So strong) It's been a long long long long long long long long time Felix, my girl, don't mind that you're bald You can rub your penis wherever you like, give it your all Back flash to when that shit hit the wall You gave me hot flash, some kind of rug rash And I'm really glad that was all And I love the taste of your delicious spongecake, it's so damn fresh Just wanna cradle 'round your thighs and suck those bountiful breasts 'Cause nobody's moved me like you do, bee In such a long long long long long long long long time Although you're just a dream, girl You're my dream girl And it's so nice to know that you will always only be mine [Well this was a disaster]

[Life is full of surprises, full of ups and downs And so, to have a silver lining, first there must be...] You look so pretty If pretty is pretty small You don't have money Or anything at all Well how's a sad sad sad sad sad song really gonna help you? There's always something To scream about There's always someone in the world to do without Well if screaming solves your problems well I guess you better let it all out Look at our family crawling into cannons, and watch 'em blow I wonder which'll go BOOM and which ones just explode? If you care like I do, then why don't you care at all Look at our family graining into salt I just feel like I'm a dying species here Check out these peasants with their cuban cigars While all their bosses strangle themselves out on Mars Well it's a mad mad mad mad mad world trailing behind us I know your problems are really really real You got six villages to pillage, rape and steal from And afterwards you'll fuck another lonely guy to buy you a happy meal Look at our family rotting in the canyon, yes I know It's such a long way down, getting longer every generation I mean if you feel like I do, then why don't you feel at all, my love? [We're all starving to death] If you care like I do, then why do you care at all? I mean I feel like I'm a dying species here I'm never gonna stop I'm never gonna stop I'm never gonna stop I'm never gonna stop Until the morning comes scorching back to find me Don't wake me now I'm dreaming Of fucking some old story A mother nature melody The holy spirit in me Is surely going to kill me I know it's going to kill me I hope it's going to Hope it's going to Hope it's going to You look so pretty If pretty is pretty small You don't have money Or anything at all How is a sad sad sad sad sad song really going to help you...

[What's your plan? Yeah. What do you want to get out of this? Really, that's great. So, le-le-let's take this as generally as possible: You want to get a &$@@ out of it. Okay. You really think, if that's your goal, you need to lead with] Oh, daddy's gone away tonight I thought I'd come to see Modern Mary, bought and buried By the bushel, cocked and carried And I loved you a while on this material isle I know I claim to hate, but I love the style And I wish you a good life And I hope that a moral overlies Cause if you want my advice Just know that ther've been many tried and trite [Yeah] Cause I've heard voices calling my brain They are digital synthetic paraplegic pathetic and they don't know my name So get off the ball, 'cause all I thought was that I thought I thought I felt the same Get your head off the horse, and the horse off the field and the field into the drain And I wish you a good life But this world was not what I'd expect to find And I wish you a good life Do you know that a moral overlies? I went down to the bay where you tried to save me Before you swam away you said, "I don't wanna be a whale, okay?" You said, "I don't wanna be a whale, no way" You said, "I don't wanna be a whale, okay, okay, okay okay" Okay you said, "I don't want to be a whale, no way"

My lady wonders lately why I'm gone three days a week She wants to know what secrets I've been keeping I know I'd suffer greatly if I ever told her But sometimes I wonder why I even bother... My dear, I am Bisclavret, your one and only Garwolf roaming through the wilderness But as long as I have my clothes, I have the will to turn into your love again My lady couldn't handle the truth and promptly closed the door She hooked up with some random duke she had no feelings for And they took my clothes and ran away together She wants to keep me in the forest forever So if I kill your boyfriend don't cry because I'm just doing you a service, for later here And if I bite your nose off, it's just because I don't have words to tell you that I hate you so much Ahahahaha

There's someone crawling in my head Gotta see it to believe it He goes around and around and around again Playing tricks on me Now Crow don't stand out on the reverb Can we try this out all over again?

War, what do you fight for? Why do you call out at night, hoping that you're prayed for? It's your art, but it's my life on the line So hands up, Mr. Nothing-to-lose-here I know I'm not alright You steal my one and only delight War, what do you fight for? Why are you killing my friends and stealing all their life force?

Little Fern, Little Wormie Saw your body on the pavement I could see your heart See your soul You were smiling Mama kissed you on the forehead Mama told me you were sleeping Mama told me you were sleeping Stood and stared, but could not hide it I looked away and began to cry Saw your spine, saw it bleeding Saw the man who found your body And he said, you died in an instant He said again, You died in an instant I love you dog, I began to sing I love you dog... Little Fern, Little Wormie How I long to see you running again 'Cause you were strong, you were sturdy Glad you died doing what you loved Most of all, I'm glad you died a happy doggy I'm glad you died a happy dog Rest in peace, Little Fern, go to sleep Come and sit here, right beside me Although you are just a dog More than any person you remind me Where there's life, there is love Where there's life, there is love Where there's life, there is love I love you dog, I started to sing again I went, I love you dog And then a choir joined in, they sang, I love you dog I really think some church bells rang, they went, I love you dog And it went on and on and on and on again, I love you dog But don't you ever stop running, I love you dog I love you dog We're all singing, we're all singing out, I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog I love you dog.

We used to go out in the summer nights and dance in the neon rain We used to hold hands at the movie show but we'll never hold hands again Come on, come on Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights You'll see the world, diving for a girl you'll never find And then we'll quietly grow old in the saddest story ever told Once upon a time we fell in love or at least that's what you said You say I could find someone else but I just wish I was dead Come on, come on Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights You'll see the world, diving for a girl you'll never find And then we'll quietly grow old in the saddest story ever told

Home, I really miss my home When I'm at home, I'm at home Mama, I love you God, something's wrong, I'm in love But when you are afraid, Remember something always happens either way When you are afraid, Remember something always happens either way

José is a boy singin' songs on the sidewalk He smiles, and waves to the camera His mama lakes to the light of the screen in the dark of her dusty room She cries, "Boy, why you gone so soon?" She says, "My boy is a glimpse of the world I believe in, But I'm still dreaming" José is a fly in the eyes of the captive And a fly in the eyes of the Capitol too José is fly in the eye of the sky of the glancing nation Still a reason to keep our goddamn local news And I said, "José ain't a god up above to believe in Or some construct to reason He's just a little boy, in a little world José is a glimpse of the world I live in, but I wish I was dreaming" Go, little boy, you can't be tired while you're sleeping Oh, little boy, I'm sorry your parents are weeping Go, little boy, you can't be restless while you're dreaming Oh, little boy, you aren't hopeless while you're breathing José is a corpse bleeding out on the pavement No one could keep those bones from breaking I stood there and watch him fall down I said, "Boy? Are you coming around?" José is the light of the world I been waiting for But now I'll just wait some more José is the dream that I have broken But I'll keep smoking

Would you miss them, well I let myself free, oh yeah I do I let myself free But I know some are unnatural Yeah I know some seem so natural But I won't get no peace of mind No I won't get no peace of mind until they're gone Oh, and I know some seem so natural While others still seem unnatural But I won't get no peace of mind No I won't get no peace of mind until they're gone I let myself free, I let myself free, I let myself free

The world is not ours to love So treat her like a child, don't fuck her up For life, another year to spend I know it's hard to believe that your death is not the end La la la la...

Your love is a dream Fragile and fleeting as you ever were When I wake from the basement I am crippled and filled with grief 'Cause losing you inside my head Feels like a death in the morning I just want to keep you around as long as I can Lately I've been seeing Your face in every mirror But honey, it gets weirder I can't see myself anywhere at all I could walk for miles and miles And never know just where I'm going I just want to keep you around as long as I can Your love is a dream And in the morning I will go back to sleep Your love is a dream And you're everything to me...

Some creeps, they come up and solict me, Try to trick me with their promises of paradise They wave their arms out on the streets, Kicking up the heat, and yet they don't even know the word why I don't need no prophet, baby, and I don't need nobody's lies So all I really want from you is someone I can get behind Some freak's been trying to beat me, trying so hard to cheat me Like the world is just a game to win But they know I got something that they don't, They're never going to until they decide to look in I don't need no criminal, and baby I don't need no king See, all I really want from you is whatever you came to bring Some sheep, they come up and salute me Ask me how I'm doing, while they use me for their own end And watch, as other people shoot me, I thank God above me, 'cause I wouldn't want to be them I don't need no loverboy, and baby I don't need no friend See, all I really want from you is somebody who don't pretend Some people don't even say a word Like some broken bird, all pent up inside of their cage And speak only when they're spoken to, they try not to show it But it's writ in the lines of their face I don't need no joker, baby, and I don't need no flyin' ace So all I really want from you is someone who can play it straight Some dreams, they come up and fool me Trying to seduce me underneath the shelter of my sheets And hook me onto my fears, and wanton veneers Like I got nowhere else to be I don't need no universe, and baby I don't need no stars So all I really want from you Yes, all I really want from you Is whatever you really are

Words, words, words Can seal you like a curse And to break free, there's only one key And you find it when you use your words [Maybe that's all]

There's a fatal shooting down this road, come one and all to see Who's the killer, who's the killed? I hope he doesn't come for me Just to say the least, who cares? I only came to stir the heat Of this here kill zone with more stinking potpourri And after John Doe's swept away and all his guts are in the trash we'll go home with empty hands until we warm them for the next attack And sharpen up our pitchforks lined with the blood from yesterday, We'll send those Neo-Nazis hopeless on the way Oh, holy mountain, hear me drowning Oh my god I hope that I'ma saved Most of all I hope that you'll explain Why's this man here bein' spit at? Why's that woman being raped? They've done nothing to deserve it, (Guess that's why they get it all the same) The innocent exceptions in the stream of life perceived among the grain Are always floorboards in the rain And the more I think I know it all, the less I understand That's the pain of being human, still I'm glad I have my hands So that i can push more buttons and take pictures of my fleshy glands And send them off to other people's hands Oh, holy mountain, hear me shouting Oh my god I hope that I'ma saved Most of all I hope that you'll explain Oh, and it seems humanity's uncurable disease is just what keep us goin' on, So if you stiff yourself undoubtedly some devil's gonna take those keys and run Oh run, but I guess when all is said and done, we're all just hopes and dreams a' wedded to the sun But the more I think about my past, the more i wanna cry 'Cause every good and poor decision fits the same inside my land-locked mind It almost seems like I could turn the pages back, white-out in hand, And change all of these hadn't's into had's... Well thank my stars I made it this far to illuminate at last 'Cause every future day's a second chance to turn my problems into plans Don't wanna die, don't have the time, there's still too many ways to find Another way this planet could advance Oh honey now, "holy mountain, you gonna teach me something? Cause' oh my god I hope that I'ma saved But most of all I hope that you'll explain"

Well sometimes you make it Most times you don't Sometimes you'll never even know Sometimes you get it Other times you just have to let it go And sometimes you might hate it Other times you laugh Some time is all the time we have Sometimes you attain it Most times you just have to let it pass Now mother of mine, hold me, I'm dying to find me another as kind as you Mama, I'm crying, alive, but I'm waiting for the light at the end of the moon Sometimes you break it Most times it's fine Other times you still wonder why Sometimes you make it Most times you just have to make it by You just have to make it by You just have to... Now mother of mine, hold me, I'm dying to find me another as kind as you Mama, I'm crying, alive, but I'm waiting for the light at the end of the tomb

I drove home on the last straight line tonight Turned left on a one-way street But I never did see the light I could have been a lover, I could have been a saint I could have been all the pretty things that the world just ain't Where there's love there's life and life there's pain But the reaper's weeping on his way, oh lord The reaper's weeping on his way My lord, it's a long way to your door I did not think it would end like this But I never expected more I could have been a lion, I could have been the roar I could have worked a long hard life in a convenience store Or be a felon for four, if the shit hit the door But the reaper's sweeping up these floors The reaper's sweeping up these floors If you say that your life ain't fair, You ain't gonna stand a chance If you say that it's all goddamned You'll just be doin' the monkey dance You know that the chickens lay And the poor nuns pray When they see their dark storm come brewin' its way When you slam your foot against the brake Just know the reaper's weeping all the same my lord, The reaper's weeping on his way How did I get here, anyway? Standing before you, and all of your smug, empty faces? I could have been a riot, I could have been a rag I could have been all the shitty things that my girl can't stand But it all boils down to the same old pan When your reaper kindly takes your hand oh lord, And to quote the age old desperate phrase The reaper's weeping on his way

Johnny saw a chicken today, crossing the road so he swerved out of its way And died in a car crash, I guess it's only meant to happen one way Danny set a napkin on fire, just to watch it burn the neighbor's yard But now he doesn't have a face, save for his picture on the fireplace Well how are you so stupid? Yeah how are we so stupid? What I mean to say is, we are spiders Weaving earnest homes under bathroom tile We are geysers, spouting nonsense And clogging up the PRISM wires I met the devil today, he shook my hand, went on his way To slaughter some children I bet I'll hear it on the news tomorrow Man, how they'll kill him, smelt the flesh into baby food And call it redemption I hear in hell they sing in perfect unison Well what I meant to say was, we are monsters Worse than zombies or leviathans And we are lovers, sweeter than Christians and their puppies too My favorite joke is the human doin' what he love to save or destroy the world (depending on opinion) Well either way they make shit and children Man, we're so useless, locking the doors in the name of fate prevention Just let the cocks die. Maybe tonight we'll have some deep-fried chicken How are you so stupid? How am I so stupid? Let the tombstone say, no survivors, no solutions, only mortal truth And no conclusions, only humans, so let the pieces fall

Words, words words, They can seal you like a curse They say to break it, well There's only one spell You'll find it when you use your words But my words, my words, my words They just drag me through the dirt Into a tired town far underground Where the canyons sing And sirens make no sound And the careless kings Who turn into clowns Will tell you that they're only worlds Oh words, words, words Spread across the earth On the walls you read, The thoughts you conceive I know you're gonna hear my words And words, words, words They can soar above the birds Over the tallest tower, The mightiest church You never can escape these words But my words, my words, my words They never land the perch Because when I talk to you I never get through Your silence speaks far louder than I do And your vacant stare is all I need to see That you're soaring over all my words Oh words, words, words Spread across the earth So I have no doubt, I don't need to shout I know you're gonna hear my words.
