GET OUT OF THE STATE

 

I've been waiting here for so long 
and I'm on the curb with everyone 
and I'm fit for it and I'm ready 
again yeah, I'm fit for working again 
so you understand just what they mean 
kids will go to such extremes 
like here's the answer 
what's the question 
again I kid you not should it take all night
fill up the tank 'cause if it takes all day 
we'll get out the state

 

I COULD SEE THE DUDE

I could see your words hang in the air
but they did not spell out what I thought that I heard
I could see the dude in your next room by himself
so I took one look around walked back out

now the snot has caked into my pants
it's a good bet that it will soon turn to crystal form
so take it off and take it off again
as the crackers watch you take it off again

LOSS LEADERS  

I get up and all I've got on my mind is thinking up brand new chords
then fred hampton comes on and takes it all back it brings me back to earth
sha - no - ma everything I knew and loved about you
sha - no - ma so I could get through I've put them all away

loss leaders, yeah, it's just the sounds that you make go right inside of me
it makes us immortal like god cannibal club takes all our icons on
sha - no - ma everything I knew and loved about you
sha - no - ma so I could get through I've put them all up
sha - no - ma tears fell down inside

fred tried to change their ways 'til he got some bullet holes now he lives in outer space
fred tried to change their ways 'til he got some bullet holes now he lives in outer space

 

MOUNTAIN TO SOUND

mountain to sound
mountain to sound
time's so slow it's barely in person
barely there, so down
we've been at the airport so long now
we've gone back to sound
it'll come back to you
it'll come back to you soon
come right back to you
it'll come back to you
and I think I am losing this hard-on
that's okay
all the noise you're playing after hours
sounds like hot shit to me
all the noise you're playing after hours
you could turn it down
I've been at the airport so long now
mountain to sound

WAITING FOR THE KID TO COME OUT

 

this is the electric lounge 
no one's afraid to laugh 
they say c'mon, man 
just let me break your back 
talk about the medellin 
and what's on tap 
what else you come here for 
what else could this be about 
well for me I'm just waiting for the kid to come out 
and I'm waiting for the kid to come out
and I'm finding out what this is about 
waiting for the kid to come out
let it bleed 

in the tradition of your nationalized tracts 
outside between the bands 
everything comes back out 
it's hard to put down 
what you can't hold back 
and this is like being alive 
it flows right out of your mouth
here at the electric lounge 
outside between the bands 
no one's afraid to laugh
because you'll get just what you've come to expect
you can stick all that up your ass
because me I'm just waiting for the kid to come out
and I'm waiting for the kid to come out
and I'm finding out what this is about
and I'm waiting for the kid to come out
let it bleed
