Coffee Cup
01:28
|
|||
my life in a coffee cup
all energy and no nutrition
my life inside a coffee cup
my life is so deficient
my life is really nothing
I sit around and I drink coffee
my life is really the pits
I sit around and smoke cigarettes

Premature Burial
01:54
|
|||
don’t bury me alive
don’t throw no dirt in my face
don’t bury me alive
it’s getting so hard to breathe
don’t bury me alive
don’t throw no dirt in my face
don’t bury me alive
your way of life is a premature grave

Diet 'til You Die
01:38
|
|||
you don’t eat
do some speed
get real thin
watch those bones pop through your skin
you’re gonna diet ‘til you die
well you might be dead but you’re oh so thin

last night I went to a tupperware party
and I burped some bowls
last night I went out to the graveyard
and I dug some holes
last night was the last night that I lived in your world
last night was the last night of the pain and the cold
mystery eggplant

Knife Lust
01:38
|
|||
I’ve got the knife lust
I wanna thrust, thrust, thrust
I’ve got the knife lust
I wanna spill your blood
my knife is my best friend
our love will never end
my knife’s so shiny in the dark
so pretty, so near to my heart

Herpes Condo
02:25
|
|||
now I’m living in the Herpes Condo
it’s like a leper colony with a real high rent
no one wants to live with us or have us around
but we can live together if we share the expense
don’t have to worry when we share our cups
don’t have to worry when we share our cigarettes
don’t have to worry about handling doorknobs
don’t have to worry when we have sex
me and my girlfriend met through the
Herpes Dating Service
we’ve got nothing in common but our disease
nothing in common but a case of herpes
but it’s OK, it’s alright by me

she’s pasteurized
she’s processed
and she’s mine all mine all mine

Funny Funny
01:21
|
|||
I see your faces, your cartoon faces
you’re of the normal race
I’m an alien to you
it’s all so funny, funny, funny
inside my mind, my alien eye
I see the truth twisted in lies
it’s all so funny, funny, funny
I see your faces, your cartoon faces
there’s plastic bunnies on Calvary
it’s all so funny funny

The Coroner
02:03
|
|||
the coroner
likes dead bodies
he likes to cut them up
it’s his hobby
the coroner
searches the alleys
looking for specimens
for his surgery
the poor deluded man
thinks he holds degrees
in forensic medicine

fountain of Scuz
primed to splash down on my head
fountain of Scuz
raining on my cardboard bed
fountain of Scuz
crawling with maggots and flies
fountain of Scuz
running down in my eyes
Scuz!

|

I crawl on the floor

I let myself out
I fall down the stairs
I’m lying in a pool
of my own blood
but it’s OK
I feel good
cuz I would’ve died
anyway
