JOE'S LYRICS and ALTERNATE TITLES
ONESY(Blammo) VERSE ONE--
"nice, very nice,"
she said "you're very nice,
to look at, so tell me who's the bitch in the dress?"
damn, medicine
head medicine,
and alcohol, no no stop your breath in the hall.
nails, hard nails,
hard nails in the
back skin, firecracker tin can man.
damn, medicine
head medicine
mixin' with the alcohol, a fist in the air.
CHORUS--
pilot error, ready to go(4X)
VERSE TWO--
damn, god damn,
she said god damn,
Cali's just a dream, but we're warm, anyway.
damn, god damn,
she said god damn,
alley cold snow, but we're warm, anyway.
Repeat CHORUS
that's when she goes(4X)

*THAT'S MORE LIKE IT* hillside field,
little boy,
cloud watching,
faces pass by,
unreal,
unreal,
unreal,
unreal,
city street,
older,
politicizing,
faces pass by,
so real,
so real,
so real,
so real. *SOLAR FLARE* your elevation makes you noble from afar
your elevation gives us pause in what we are
your salvation turns our dirty thoughts to none
your salvation turns itself on the back of my head like a loaded gun
--chorus--
we're all cops now
pleading necessary
we're all cops now
so who's a criminal
--
my resignation keeps my pockets 'round my hands
my resignation keeps me planted where i stand
my reservation keeps my eyes up to the sky
my reservation makes your nobility seem like a paradigm and
--repeat chorus--
flash a badge, beat a book echo real loud
--repeat first verse-- *AJAX* little bit tired
i feel o.k.
little bit strung out
i'm just fine
my angels will sing
my devils will dance
'cause in a dead man's shoes
you've got to know time
you've got to
move (x8)
--chorus--
'cause this is where i come alive
i fell again 'whoo' alive
devil in my eyes he comes alive
god's fevered skin 'whoo' alive
--
so strap on your good shoes
slap on your smile
count all the money
that you saved
i may be sick
i may be lost
but you know i'm not gutless
i'll dance on your grave
one law (x4)
do what thou wilt
--repeat chorus--
fuck gen-x blues
this is what we choose
didn't sell my soul
i let it go
and if i could
i'd strip this hide
i'd jump these tracks
i'd open wide and i would
breathe (x8)
--repeat chorus-- *FLIBBERTIGIBBET* all these things you've done mean nothing
and all you've championed means nothing
'cause all these words you say mean bombs away
we mighty look on your works and despair
we mighty work peace, you put a whistle in the air
and all these words you say mean bombs away
--chorus--
everybody's got a trigger finger
useless words and a paper plan
everybody's waiting for a white flag to fly
so they can search for a target again
--repeat first verse--
--repeat second half of chorus--
i don't want to be your(x4)
casket flag (x2)
--outro--
useless words, flibbertigibbet *SASSO IN BOCCA* that halo trinket
it means nothin'
it's a cheap trick
it's an old one
--
i'll bet those pearly whites need a lot of cleanin'
i'll bet that tongue, you gotta scrape it down
i'll bet those gums are raw and bleedin'
i'll bet that septic breath breeds frowns
every time i see you it's a brand new stink
you throwin' jokes like a drunken clown
every time i see you i can't help but think
about what happens when i turn around
--chorus--
you open your mouth
open your mouth
it's people like you that keep me out of heaven
people like you that keep me out of heaven (all x2)
sasso in bocca
you'd make a good lesson
--
tell me, does everything fall through your middle
do you have a lot of room and are you makin' more
for plenty of shit to splatter the room with
machine gun chatterbox, dirty boor
it's a life denial vicariously
so why do i take you so seriously
--repeat chorus-- *GRAND PUNK* you might say i'm way above myself
you might say i'm way over myself
you might say i'm fallin' through the cracks
you might say i'm a better man than this
i might say this wet cement is bliss
i might say my lungs are filled with womb
i might say this ocean floor is home
i might say, i might say, i might say i...
--
leave my prozac on a pillow on the bed
a glass of water a pat on the head
not so much dyin' not so much dead
more like a loose tooth you twist from your head
the condescension i need in your smile
the sweet suspension of disbelief for awhile
whisper sweet nothings right here in my ear
nothin' so sweet so soft they can't hear
you can't teach me, you can't teach me, you can't teach me, what i need to learn (x2)
--chorus--
until i'm broken down
until i'm spillin' out
until i'm smashed
--
a weak suspicion a tiny death earned
small abolitions experience turns
run your nails over the board
rap my knuckles i'll be absorbed
you can't hurt me, you can't hurt me, you can't hurt me if i do not show (x2)
--repeat chorus--
don't know what you think i begin to begin
can't find the key can't let me in
all the king's horses all the king's men
this puzzle's not theirs it's mine once again
i will fake it, i will fake it, i will fake it 'til i make it all real (x2)
--repeat chorus (because i'm...)--
this is the secret this is the cure
nothing is nothing, nothing is pure
lay me in ashes show me the sun
initiation's only begun
i'll wear this scar, i'll wear this scar, i'll wear this scar like a jailhouse tattoo (x2)
--repeat chorus ('cause i was...)--
take the needle out, gimme the ipecac...

GALACTIC DRIFT (Life in an empty head)VERSE ONE--
sit down,
but leave the tv on,
it drowns the sound,
of footsteps in the hall,
scratching in the walls,
getting louder,
creak up in the ceiling board,
tap upon the window sill,
that's the one, can't you hear,
that's the one, that's the one
VERSE TWO--
stop...it makes me nervous,
when...you let the light in,
when...you kick the dust up,
when...you say anything at
all the world fits in my head,
but I will keep it void instead,
I'll see the sights safe from home,
I'm safest when I'm all alone but
I still like I still like I still like my life,
bleached, bare, padded, numb, and sucked dry
my life
in an empty head(4X)
Repeat VERSE TWO. SLAPPING THE MUSE VERSE ONE--
twelve steps or nothing what they'll say,
your slip, your burden, no other way,
but maybe it's coded, mapped in your genes,
a future remembrence, what tomorrow will be.
so hold onto that feeling,
don't let 'em try and tell you that it's evil, because,because,
don't let 'em try and make you make it bad,
like they did with your body and your sexuality.
until you're,
until you're,
CHORUS--
clean and sober, disappointed all over again,
clean and sober, disappointed all over again
SOLO--
Repeat CHORUS. *ABUSIVE LOVE SONG* soft
so soft and pretty
i'd run her seams over my skin
i would undress her just to
hold her and dress her again
cute button nose
and hair made of yarn colored gold
but then i left her
now everything's so cliched cold
we sat there so long
waiting in the waiting room
when it came my turn
all i could think was to move
i left her there
in a chair
but i swear
that i miss her
and i love her
and i wonder just
--chorus--
who will pull her
hair and tell her (all x2)
--
soft
so soft and pretty
alone in this hard ugly world
i searched for so long
eyes wide for this one little girl
i couldn't find her
but i swear
that i miss her
and i love her
and i wonder
how i wonder just
--chorus--
who will pull her
hair and tell her(all x2)
that they love her
more (x3)
i swear
she was more than a doll
i promise you
she was more than a doll
oh, you've got to believe
she was more than a doll
to me *BARABBUS* i will find a lady
i will put some money down
i will practice hating
i'll watch his show from safer ground
i will thank the people
and their god for another day
i know they don't love me
they're just stupid and weak and that's okay
--chorus--
drive it on in
drive it on in
hit it
we don't need no compromise here (allx4)
--
find my place in the crowd
watch 'em on golgotha's hill
wish they'd stop starin' at me
much too slow, this blessed kill
i will raise my wine high
i'll shake and laugh
i'll hope history
forgets me in its dirty past
--repeat chorus--
they say he won't die
but i know better, he's just a guy
who talked a pretty talk
but he's gonna hang and i'm gonna walk
mary dry your tears
stop spendin' all your time down here
that rock it won't move
soon he'll be forgotten too
damn him, i saw that smile
he stared me down over that long mile
i can't take it back
they have spoken, i'm wasted and cracked

This is one of my favorite images
This is my good friend Hal. I took this picture on his birthday. I think he likes to be in Black Iron Prison. |
This is one of my favorite images
This is my good friend Hal. I took this picture on his birthday. I think he likes to be in Black Iron Prison.*LEVIATHAN* stop me, oh me, oh the vanity
to think i thought i could see me eternally
while the stars
die in droves
the ink that writes us is dry, blink and then we're gone
think you're sinkin' but why, this is everyone
while the stars
die in droves
--chorus--
hit the drum, hit the drum, bring the loa down
while we burnin' angels rocket to the ground
can't you feel the impact kick you deep inside
hit the drum, hit the drum, come and take the ride
--
flick a switch, lights out, twitch, then just a thing
a turnabout, sing, shout, tomorrow's what you bring
i can't bear
i will not bear
damaged things, these wings here on everyone
the bum, the junkie, the businessman, the priest and nun
i can't bear
won't bear this pall
--repeat chorus--
skies are clear, we're near more than damaging
downed towers, sick showers, beyond suffering
i walk away
i walk the waves
women, children, we're buildin' rafts, the captain frowns
a new ship drifts the white caps while the other drowns
we walk away
we walk the waves
--repeat chorus--
maybe genius is dead
just like henry said
but strong hands are breakin'
the cathedral's done but it blocks the sun
prayers on the ceiling
archetypal revealing
but nothin' gets out of here
let's end the search, this is my church
you seem much older (x3)
since you gave the ghost and put on flesh
the old ones are growin'
under the ocean
dark shapes above the clouds
not what they seem, universal dreams
i gave it a name, now
i made it real, now
i burned off the fog to see
and now i know, now i know
you seem much older (x3)
since you gave the ghost and put on flesh
leviathan(x8) |
