GIRLS! GIRLS! You been around enough to know That if I want to leave you better let me go Because I take full advantage Of every man I meet I get away almost every day With what the girls call What the girls call What the girls call The girls call murder You been around enough to see That if you think you're it You better check with me Because I take full advantage Of every man I meet I get away almost every day With what the girls call What the girls call What the girls call . . . the girls call murder -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVORCE SONG And when I asked for a separate room It was late at night And we'd been driving since noon But if I'd known How that would sound to you I would have stayed in your bed For the rest of my life Just to prove I was right That it's harder to be friends than lovers And you shouldn't try to mix the two Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy Then you know that the problem is you And it's true that I stole your lighter And it's also true that I lost the map But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to I had to take your word on that But if you'd known How that would sound to me You would have taken it back And boxed it up and buried it in the ground Boxed it up and buried it in the ground Boxed it up and buried it in the ground Burned it up and thrown it away You put in my hands a loaded gun And then told me not to fire it When you did the things you said were up to me And then accused me of trying to fuck it up But you've never been a waste of my time It's never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you'll be alright And the license said You had to stick around until I was dead But if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am But you've never been a waste of my time It's never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you'll be alright -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHATTER I know that I don't always realize How sleazy it is Messing with these guys But something about just being with you Slapped me right in the face Nearly broke me in two It's a mark I've taken hard And I know I will carry with me for a long long time I don't know if I could drive a car Fast enough to get to where you are or wild enough not to miss the boat completely Honey, I'm thinking maybe You know just maybe I don't know if I could fly a plane Well enough to tail spin out your name Or high enough to lose control completely Honey, I'm thinking maybe You know just maybe, maybe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLOWER Every time I see your face I get all wet between my legs Every time you pass me by I heave a sigh of pain *(repeated throughout song)* Every time I see your face I think of things unpure unchaste I want to fuck you like a dog I'll take you home and make you like it Everything you ever wanted Everything you ever thought of is Everything I'll do to you I'll fuck you and your minions too Your face reminds me of a flower Kind of like you're underwater Hair's too long and in your eyes Your lips a perfect suck me size You act like you're fourteen years old Everything you say is so Obnoxious, funny, true and mean I want to be your blowjob queen You're probably shy and introspective That's not part of my objective I just want your fresh young jimmy Jamming(?) slamming ramming in me Every time I see your face I think of things unpure unchaste I want to fuck you like a dog I'll take you home and make you like it Everything you ever wanted Everything you ever thought of is Everything I'll do to you I'll fuck you 'til your dick is blue STRATFORD-ON-GUY I was flying into Chicago at night Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke The sun was setting to the left of the plane And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow In 27-D I was behind the wing Watching landscape roll out Like credits on a screen The earth looked like it was lit from within Like a poorly assembled electrical ball as we moved Out of the farmlands into the grid The plan of the city was all that you saw And all of these people sitting totally still As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down It took an hour, maybe a day But once I really listened, the noise Just fell away And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video The stewardess came back and checked on my drink In the last strings of sunlight, a Bridgette Bardot As I had on my headphones Along with those eyes that you get When your circumstance is movie size It took an hour, maybe a day But once I really listened, the noise Just fell away It took an hour, maybe a day But once I really listened, the noise Just fell away -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRANGE LOOP The fire you like so much in me Is the mark of someone adamantly free But you can't stop yourself from wanting worse 'Cause nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst Baby I'm tired of fighting I always wanted you I broke up at the roadhouse I wouldn't know you were alive You haven't seen me for weeks now It wouldn't shock you if I drove right out through the back of your eyes I can't be trusted They're saying I can't be true But I only wanted more than I knew Baby I'm tired of fighting I always wanted you I only wanted more than I knew 000927 ... silentbob CHOPSTICKS I met him at a party and he Told me how to drive him home. He said he liked to do it backwards. I said that's just fine with me. That way we can fuck and watch TV. It was four a.m. and the light was gray Like it always is in paperbacks. He asked if I liked playing jacks. I told him that I was good to sixes, But all hell broke loose after that. I told him that I knew Julia Roberts When I was twelve at summer camp. We didn't say anything after that. I dropped him off and I drove on home 'Cause secretly, I'm timid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPERNOVA I have looked all over the place, But you have got my favorite face. Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass and your lips are sweet and slippery Like a cherub's bare wet ass ... 'Cause you're a human supernova, A solar superman. You're an angel with wings of fire, A flying, giant friction blast. You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes. And every time the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky. Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16 And you fuck like a volcano and you're everything to me... 'Cause you're a human supernova, A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire, A flying, giant friction blast You're a giant, flying friction blast 'Cause you're a human supernova, A solar superman, You're an angel with wings of fire, A flying, giant friction blast ... DOGS OF L.A. The canyon air is like a breath of fresh L.A. I was a Star Trek crew member With my Beatle boots and my Super-8 And I raced you to the top, The camera gets a stuttered shot of Me approaching the painted shrine. I kissed the Buddha and made him cry I kissed the Buddha and made him cry, Georgie, I'm your friend! And the shit brown reservoir Is a testament to the dogs of L.A. They hold the place like the Mafia and say, Run me round again. The sawed off tree-trunks stand among the living palms You were beaming as I focused in and I panned along And I raced you to the top Kicking snakes up from dusty rocks Young Abe Vigoda plays Frankenstein I kissed the Buddha and made him cry I kissed the Buddha and made him cry, Georgie, I'm your friend! And the shit brown reservoir Is a testament to the dogs of L.A., they Hold the place like the Mafia and say, Run me round again. I wanna go again. And the shit brown reservoir Is a testament to the dogs of L.A. They hold the place like the Mafia and say, Run me round again. JEALOUSY He's got a million dollar car He's got a thirty-seven year old guitar He's got a family who deals heroin, you're on the edge of your chair and then You feel it He's looking at you He's laughing at you It's happening. I can't, I can't believe it. But it's here on the pages I'm reading It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy... jealousy... I know it's just a drawer of photographs They're ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that I don't wanna look, but I'm already hooked on jealousy... jealousy... I can't believe you had a life before me I can't believe they let you run around free Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea What a good idea: Standing On the corner Watching The ladies Pass by Imagining me behind your eyes And then what did I see? I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try I saw jealousy I saw jealousy I can't, I can't believe it But it's here in this place and I see it It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy... jealousy... Standing On the mud flats Watching The salmon Fly Wonder if I'll ever bury the hatchet inside. Imagining me behind your eyes And then what did I see? I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try I saw jealousy I saw jealousy I can't believe you had a life before me I can't believe they let you run around free Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea What a good idea: 000927 ... silentbob POLYESTER BRIDE I was talking, not two days ago To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know And I asked Henry, My bartending friend If I should bother dating unfamous men And Henry said: "You're lucky to even know me. You're lucky to be alive. You're lucky to be drinking here for free 'Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes" And then he said: "Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?

"Princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly... 'Cause you've got time." He keeps telling me "You've got time." But I don't believe him "You've got time." I keep on pushing harder... I keep on pushing farther away He keeps telling me "Baby" He says "Baby" Yeah And Henry said: "You're lucky to even know me. You're lucky to be alive.

You gotta pick up the little pieces every day You were telling me the friends we have in common... By the time I figured it out you were yawning Love is nothing, like they say You gotta get up and work the people everyday And I thought, "Who am I?" "Who's this guy?" "Would I lie To make the day blur into the night...?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEADACHE I can see the Russian Army rolling through my head On one side of me lies the enemy, the other half is dead I've got diamonds and I've got pearls... And I said, "Hey mister, won't you come for me?" You can take me home, but I will never be your girl I won't let your mystery unfurl That's the whole thing about it... I'm so in love today I've been waiting at the bus stop Come my way? I'm a psychosomatic sister Running around without a leash Snow is falling, January's all across the land I've got seven other men in the ditches behind me, And I think I'm the last survivor... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIDE As I stumble into bed, I curse the devil in my head And if I die before I wake I hope the lord won't hesitate To pluck my coffin from the ground He need not heed the neighbors now And throw me up for all to see, The flies of August swarming me... I get a ride Right by your side Under your skin I'm digging in Well I don't know, but I've been told The road to heaven is paved with gold And if I die before I wake I need a ride From you Well sticks and stones can break my bones And boys can make me kick and moan But when I want it autodrive, I get a ride From you I get a ride 98.5 Positive T-cell Regeneration Regeneration Regeneration Positive T-cell Regeneration! 000927 ...
