Plastic Jesus
03:32
|

Satan's clever but I can beat him
Spend most days trying to learn to cheat him
Beckon him, and then I run so far
But the bastard always seems to find me
Curled up with God beside me
And nothing changes, nothing but the scars
So I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it if you travel far
And then get yourself a new Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on
A pedestal of abalone shell
Going ninety I ain't scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell
So I don't know if we're apes or spirits
All I know is I don't go near it
'Cause I don't care if it's nothing just as well
I guess I'm just a thing that breathes
Trying to have a laugh in between
And hoping the next one will be grand
So I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it if you travel far
And then get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on
A pedestal of abalone shell
Going ninety but I ain't scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell
So fuck this shit I've had enough
Trying to make a living shaking tin cups
And waiting on the kindness of a friend
Family, it ain't much better
Loyal as an opened letter
Well goodbye, fare thee well, the end

I'm handsome
Please like me
I got nowhere to go
I'm a hero
Please like me
I guarantee I put on a show
But please
Please
Why don't you be kind to one another
Jesus
I'm handsome
Please like me
I only want to feel at ease
I'm a hero
Worth saving
Never mind that about my knees
But please
Please
Why don't you be kind to one another
Jesus
I'm happy
So happy
I'm happy to be happy again
I'm happy
Super happy
I'm happy that you're happy we're friends
But please

Jesus

So sorry that I have to go
I'm a hero
What saved you
I guess it's mainly who you know
But please
Please
Why don't you be kind to one another
Jesus

Carmelita
04:32
|
|||
I hear mariachi static on the radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm sitting there with her in Ensenada
When I'm really in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm going down
'Cause I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sitting here playing Russian roulette
With my pearl-handled gun
'Cause the county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm going down
'Cause I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm going down
'Cause I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
'Cause I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Tell Me Bebe (3)
02:46

Tell me baby what you know about love
Tell me baby what you know about trust
Tell me baby what you know about dreaming
Tell me baby what you know about scheming
About pleading
About being in love
Tell me baby what you know about love
Show me baby what you know about lust
Come on baby, how are you dealing
Please, I need that feeling
'Cause I'm bleeding
From being in love
Tell me baby why I'm feeling so low
This love of ours is kinda touch and go
Tell me baby what is the meaning
Please, where you been sleeping
And who's Brent
Paid rent
Tell me baby what you know about love
Tell me baby what you know about trust
Tell me baby what you know about dreaming
I guess you showed me all about scheming
And who's Brent, fuck it
Paid the rent, fuck it

What's It Matter Anyway
04:26
|
|||
Maybe
Lately
I can't seem to find
The words
The lies
The courage
To tell you what I really mean
'Cause all my thoughts Are so obscene
Well, baby
What's it matter anyway
Maybe
Still try and save me
I can't seem to find
The words
The time
The courage
To tell you how I really feel
And is this love fake or real
Well, baby
What's it matter anyway
Baby
Still try and save me ('cause I)
There's something I've been meaning to tell you
But I didn't want to be unkind
Hey, why are you crying again
Forget it, never mind dear
I guess it don't matter anyway
But maybe
Just fucking spare me
All your righteous shit
I'm sick of it
You've been complicit now
Remiss
I know you fucked him behind my back
Twenty years I had to live with that
So baby
What's it matter anyway
Maybe
It's just plain crazy
I wasted half my life with you
You didn't seem to care
Or even pretend to
So I think I'll get stoned and write this song
Laugh aloud
When you try to sing along

Fuck Satan
04:02
|

The problem with Mephistopheles
As far as I can see
Dude damn near
Got a monopoly
Fuck Satan
'Cause my Father was a house painter
That's how He made His way
And the older I get
The more mindful, I guess
I think of Him every
Day
So puffy-coat-wearing
Outback driving
Yuppie cunt
Fuck you
Irrumator
Irrumator
Irrumator
The problem with Mephistopheles
As far as I can see
Dude damn near
Got a monopoly
Fuck Satan
'Cause my Father was a house painter
My mother was the maid
And the older I get
The more angry, I guess
I want to steal
Everything
So road-biking
Wine-sniffing
Motherless fuck
Fuck you
Satan
You spineless fuck
I'm waiting for you (to)
Hurry (hurry)
But could you hurry up, bitch (the fuck up)
I'm sick of waiting (right)
Let's get if over with (make your move)
Irrumator
Irrumator
Irrumator
The problem with Mephistopheles
As far as I can see
Dude damn near
Got a monopoly
Fuck Satan
'Cause my Father was a house painter
My mother was His slave (what)
And I don't know what to think
About anything
Anymore
So, I'll just dig my own grave
So, puffy-coat-wearing
Outback driving
Yuppie cunt
I love you

Blindly, blindly
Down the stream
Blindly, blindly
Sleep's a dream
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
Your row
I'm your row
Your row your bot
Blindly, blindly
Down the stream
Blindly, blindly
Sleep's a dream
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
Your row
I'm your row
Your row your bot
I can't help but feel
You're diseased
Nothing seems to be
Real to me
Holy fuck
Are you all asleep
Don't know what else
It could be
Blindly, blindly
Down the stream
Blindly, blindly
Life's a dream
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
Your row
I'm your row
Your row your bot
I can't help but feel
I'm diseased
Nothing seems to be
Real to me
Holy fuck, have I
Been asleep
I don't know what else
It could be
Blindly, blindly
Down the stream
Blindly, blindly
Sleep's a dream
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
I'm your row your bot
I'm your row
Your row
I'm your row
Your row your bot
I can't help but feel (see)
We're asleep (I'm asleep)
I'm diseased (you're diseased)
I'm diseased (we're diseased)
What the fuck does that
Even mean
I'll keep trudging on (I'll keep living on)
Do this shit my whole life (I won't waste none of my life)
Will I
Will I
Will I
Will (Will I)

Cities of the Plain
04:23
|

The view from some trains
Ain't pretty, what's plain
The reminder of you
Deafening
Field to wood
Past empires once stood
The used up remains
Of old cities
I can't believe
In anything less
Lest what's been coming
To me
Bussed down to Bush Street
Boy was I witty
Walked the worn streets there
In haunt of pity
Practiced my smile
Shame it's so fitting
Sorry I'm weak
But goddamned
If I'm quitting
I can't believe
In anything less
Lest what's been coming
To me
And in the long night
I surely cried
Hold fast
Pray I won't die
If I begged please
Worst still for me
And in the long night
I surely tried
The view from some trains
Ain't pretty what's plain
The reminder of you
Threatening
Wood to field
Passed deserts once yield
Good grief
Ain't life just gritty
I can't believe
In anything less
Lest what's been coming
To me
In the long night
I surely cried
Hold fast
To yesteryear lies
If I begged please
Worst still for me
And in the long night
I surely tried

Jesus Saves
I ain't lying
He'll bear your sins
Even if'n dying
Forgive you
And hold you in His grace
If'n you wondering
What's the meaning
Don't go searching
The answers chilling
Lest you
Wont darkness embrace
Jesus Saves
This I know
'Cause the good Lord
He told me so
And even if'n
I ain't true
I'll try to share
My love with you
'Cause in the end
All you have is faith
The kind, the cruel
And in this place
And if'n that
Don't make you hear it
I'll damn sure
Try to make you hear it
Jesus Saves
I ain't lying
He'll bear your sins
Even if'n dying
Walk you through
The kingdom of His grace
And if'n it's just a
Test of strength
You either got it
Or, you ain't
You're either trying
Or spitting in his face
Jesus Saves
This I know
'Cause the good Lord
He told me so
And even if'n
I ain't true
I'll try to share
My love with you
'Cause in the end
All you have is faith
The kind, the cruel
And in this place
And if'n that
Don't make you hear it
I'll damn sure
Try to make you hear it
Jesus Saves
This I know
'Cause the good Lord
He told me so
And even if'n
I ain't true
I'll try to share
My love with you
'Cause in the end
All we have is faith
The kind, the cruel
And in this place
And if'n that
Don't make you hear it
I'll damn sure
Try to make you hear it
Jesus Saves
I ain't prying
What kind of life has worth
Save dying
And if'n you're wanting
It's never not too late
But if'n you're choosing
A life worth sinning
I guess it's better
Than a life worth giving
So say the Devil
And find him in this place
