EVERYONE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH IS DEAD


Another summer rolls by
And I can't help but feel pain
All those familiar faces
Come back to haunt me again
Whether I hated their guts
Or hardly knew them at all
I always felt far away
Beside them there in the halls

My yearbook keeps me informed
My yearbook keeps me in line
Its an obituary
Gives me a concept of time
We've graduated and grown
From a real world once our own
Yet we have proven them wrong
By dropping off all along



CARRY STRESS IN THE JAW


Powder grinding mouthful
Pull the day from the nocturn
Sonmiloquist is the nightmare's song

In the multiplied
objects of the external world
I had no thoughts but for the teeth
and of Bernice I more seriously believed that all her
teeth were thoughts...
the white and ghastly spectrum of the teeth
meditations were never pleasureable
the phantasma of the teeth
maintained its terrible ascendency

Lock into bitten dreams perfectionist
break like a childs mouth



(SECRET SONG)


Quiet
Don't tell anybody
Don't let 'em know
It's a secret

I know the secret song now
They wouldn't tell me
But somehow I found out
Yeah

Goddammit, I'm pissed off

I didn't get to play on it at all
No way

They kicked me out of the band



THE DESERT SEARCH FOR TECHNO ALLAH


All but the truth - forget
And from this union cup
We will drink wine tonight

Qiyamat qiyamat a tawil'
Qiyamat qiyamat insan al kamel

Pride of the peacock angel
Under the feather veils

Dark tresses under the black light



VIOLENZA DOMESTICA


Cattivo
come adesso
non lo sono stato mai
Cattivo
come adesso
non lo sono stato mai

Ti faro' male in posti
che nessuno potra' mai vedere
Nessuno!
In posti che ti faranno male per il resto della tua vita!

perche?
ma perche?
perche' fai cosi?
ma sempre sempre cosi
guarda
ma... guarda!
ma senti!

ma... ma voglio dire che... che...
ma io non sono una persona che...

basta! basta!
basta! hai capito?
ti prego! ti prego!

Sai che puoi fidarti solo di me
non ti crederanno mai

Ascolta *
Ascolta *
Ascoltami bene *

Occhio!

ti ricordi chi tiene famiglia?

i denti non possono dire niente... senza la lingua...
perche' la tua lingua e' mia!
Mia!
Mia!

* Sul disco la A è erroneamente pronunciata E (Escolta, Escolta, Escoltami bene)



AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL


My mom is better than
Your mom and your dad too
She knows nutrition well
That's why I'm trim and lean
Because she cooks
She cleans
She lies...she says
I'm handsome

Once dad hit me so hard
Mom felt it on her cheek
Because she cooks
She cleans
She lies...she says
I am handsome

My mom
Is better than
Your mom and your dad too
She's there when she needs to be there
That's why I'm here today
Because she cooks
She cleans
She lies...she says...
You fuckin' lied to me



PHLEGMATICS


I awake covered in snot
Dreamt I swallowed my teeth
And tried to cough them up

Pulmonate gastropod

Oh, for insomnia!
Render me proficient
If not at least useful



PLATYPUS


Sleeping geology
On the isolated shore
For millions of years

Experimental continent
On purpose or accident?

Mysterious evolving
Problem solving

A vaudeville?
A nation including one superior creation
A vertebra?
Inverted...quite unheard of...

Orphan in a family
And a sole survivor
He's a living fossil

Reptillian? Mammalian
He's a bird-beaked, beaver-butt Australian

Amphibious?
Paradox wearing plaid socks
Furry beetle?
A bugbear, and a palezoologist's nightmare
Symmetrical physique of disbelief

The platypus has the brain of a dolphin
and can be seen driving a forklift in his habitat of kelp
He is the larva of the flatworm
and has the ability to regenerate after injury

No relation to the flounder.

Someone shipped him to the blokes
Who said he was a hoax
So they cut him to pieces, wrote a thesis

A cranium of deceit, he's prone to lie and cheat;
It's no wonder -- a blunder from down under

Duckbill, watermole, duckmole!

Barnacle

MERRY GO BYE BYE


They're shining searchlights in the sky
'Cause there's a new God in the sign
It says their map is not their terrier work
And then I broke my telescope
But that's the nature of the game
And you have to play

Bring back the pain of a god that's never blue
You're in control of the whole damned universe
Bring back the shame and the bright lights on a few
It keeps me coming back to you

The deaths were faked, the laughs were cries
But ressurrections are doing fine
You got me walking into suicide
And I'll be there right by your side
In reproduction at your merry go bye bye

Here to paradise they go
Brighter made is their woe
As above, so below

We reached for an outside point of view
But its out of touch with me and you
I feel I'm walking into suicide
But you'll be right there by my side
To beam my message into space as I die

Bring back the shame of the many for the few
Get on your knees and I'll be coming back to you
Bring back the pain of and inverse world for two
It keeps me coming back to you
