Bleach





Blew

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain?
Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything





Floyd The Barber

Hello Cobain come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down (in the) chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

I was shaved
I was shaved
I was shamed

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips

I was shamed [3X]

I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch

I was shamed
I was shaved
I was shamed





About A Girl

I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do, but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you

Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free





School

Won't you believe it, it's just my luck [4X]

No recess [3X]

You're in high school again [8X]





Love Buzz

Would you believe me when I tell you
You're the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz?

[solo-like thing]





Paper Cuts

When I'm feeling tired
She pushes food through the door
I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spreaad around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
A good hosing down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate
I, I said so, I say so, I say so
Nirvana [6X]

Black windows of paint
I scratch with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away

And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you
To take you with me, your right
To nirvana [8X]





Negative Creep

This is out of our range
This is out of our range
This is out of our range, oh
This is getting to be
This is getting to be
This is getting to be drone
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep ahhhh

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more [6X]

This is out of our range and it's grown
This is getting to be uncontrolled
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep and I'm ahhhh

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more [6X]

Fuck
Yeah
Drool
Stoned

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more [12X +]





Scoff

In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, It's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In your eyes, I'm not worth it

Gimme back my alcohol [6X]
Gimme back my, gimme back my, gimme baaaaaaack

Heal a million, kill a million
Peel a million, feel a million
Heal a million, kill a million

[repeat all 2X]





Swap Meet

They need a lifestyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make a living off of arts and crafts
The kind with seashells, driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battleground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to her heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart

[repeat verse]

Keeps the cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to his heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart

[solo]

[repeat verse up to:]
She loves him more than she will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps the bitterness close to his heart
Keeps the photographs close to her heart
Keep the bitterness close to their heart




Mr. Moustache

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow I am not proud

Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes I eat cow I am not proud

Easy as an easychair
Poop as hard as rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in a box

Now you, now you, now you

[repeat both verses and chorus]

Now you, now you, now you




Sifting

Afraid to grade, wouldn't it be fun?
Cross says floss, wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed, wouldn't it be fun?
Sun felt numb, wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes, (the) teacher said, your eyes
Preacher said, your eyes, teacher said, teacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell, wouldn't it be fun?
Search for church, wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed, wouldn't it be fun?
Cold in coals, wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes, (the) teacher said, your eyes
Preacher said, your eyes, preacher said, preacher said

Don't have nothing for you




Big Cheese

Big cheese, make me
Mine said, go to the office
Big cheese, make me
Mine said, what the hell

Black is black, (no) trading back
We were enemies
Sure you are, (but) what am I?
We were enemies

Big lies, make mine
Mine said, go to the office
Big cheese, make me
Mine said, what's the code

Black is black, (no) trading back
We were enemies
She eats glue, how 'bout you?
We were enemies




Downer

Portray sincerity, act out of loyalty
Defend your country, wish away pain
Hand out lobotomies to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy, bland boring plain

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in bastard?
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can
Make up enough words for you to follow along, I sink and then some

Slippery pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you, dear God, for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in bastard?
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am, I know I can
Make up enough words for you to follow along, I sink and then some

Nevermind




Smells Like Teen Spirit

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored, self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido, yeah

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

[repeat "hello" bridge and chorus]

[solo]

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

[chorus]
A denial [9X]




In Bloom

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

He's the one who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along, and he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means, don't know what it means
And I say aahh
[repeat]

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom




Come As You Are

Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend
As an old enemy-a
Memoria, memoria
Memoria

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old enemy-a
Memoria, memoria
Memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun [2X]




Breed

I don't care, I don't care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind if I don't have a mind
Get away, get away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ghost

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
She said




Lithium

I'm so happy because today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze 'cause I found God

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah

I'm so lonely because today I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay, my will is good

[chorus]
I like you and I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
[2X]




Polly

Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
To put out the blowtorch

[official chorus lyrics:]

It isn't me, we have some seed
Let me clip your dirty wings
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself
I've got some rope, you have been told
I promise you I have been true
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

[what Kurt really sings:]

Isn't me, have some seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you have been true
Let me take a ride, cut yourself
Want some help, please myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct




Territorial Pissings

Come on people now, everybody get together,
gonna love one another right now...

When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions

Gotta find a way to find a way when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you

[repeat chorus until ragged]




Drain You

One baby to another said, I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth, in a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours, because I like you

With eyes so dilated, I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful, vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth, in a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours, slopply lips to lips
You're my vitamins because I'm like you




Lounge Act

Truth, covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing

And I've got this friend, you see, who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't tell me what I want to hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone

And I've got this friend, you see, who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way to prove they still
Smell her on you




Stay Away

Monkey see, monkey do, I don't know why
I'd rather be dead than cool, I don't know why
Every line ends in rhyme, I don't know why
Less is more, love is blind, I don't know why

Stay, stay away
Stay away

Give an inch, take a smile, I don't know why
Fashion shits, fashion style, I don't know why
Throw it out and keep it in, I don't know why
Have to have poison skin, I don't know why

Stay, stay away
Stay away
God is gay




On A Plain

I'll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

[repeat chorus]

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory is stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

One more special message to go
And then I'm done and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain




Something In The Way

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way




Endless, Nameless

Silence, here I am
I am, silence

Bright and clear, it's what I am
Silence, I am

Mother, Father
Father, Mother

Death and violence
Excitement, I am

Dyin', lyin'
Dyin', go to hell -- aaoohh!

Mother, no mas
No mas, Mama

Still, silence
I am, hurt again

Imagine that, crime
Here I am, (chargin')

Dead

Die


Incesticide




Dive

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Live alone, lone single
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is hollow

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Pick me, pick me, yeah
You can even pay them
Hey

Dive, dive, dive
Dive in me

Kiss this, kiss that, yeah
Live alone, lone single
At least, at least, yeah
You could be my hero

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Hit me, hit me, yeah
I'm real good at hating




Sliver

My mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go

Grandma take me home [8X]

I had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew, my meat was good

Grandma take me home [8X]

She said don't you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did, I killed my toe

Grandma take me home [8X]

After dinner I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms

Grandma take me home [about nineteen repetitions]
I want to be alone




Stain

Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves cause he's got bad luck
Well he never reads and he never rusts
And he never sleeps cause he's got bad luck yeah

I'm a stain




Been A Son

She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have been a son

She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance

She should have been a son




Turnaround

Take a step outside yourself
And turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It is revolting
You're not much
If you are anything

Take a step outside the city
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock

Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?

It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting

Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh

Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at what you are
It's pretty scary




Molly's Lips

She said she'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stayed with me
She said she'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean

Kiss, kiss Molly's lips




Son Of A Gun

Up, up, up and down
Turn, turn, turn around
Round, round, roundabout and over again
Gun, gun, son of a gun
You are the only one
Who makes any difference what I say

The sun shines in the bedroom when we play
The raining only starts when you go away




(New Wave) Polly

Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
To put out the blowtorch

It isn't me, we have some seed
Let me clip your dirty wings
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself
I've got some rope, you have been told
I promise you I have been true
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct




Beeswax

Note: this song is a bitch to transcribe and this is basically all wrong.

Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only made us, but I can thrive on his shit
Goring my manhood turns a man off
Like Pepe LePew would say
Hey, hey, hey, then we clash

I got my diddly spayed [3X]
I got my diddly

She laughs about it
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right
Jacking themselves off polyester
I wanna jump, this isn't right
Hey, when am I getting it back?

I got my diddly spayed [3X]
I got my diddly

I don't know why
I got a joke too silly to say
Don't touch the balls
I got a dick, Dick, hear my fucking hate

I got my diddly spayed [3X]
I got my diddly

If your world is getting ugly
Fiberglass insulated has gave us cotton candy
Sunning down to save El Rancho ovulate <- what?
Freely kill him, make it wrong
Bill has brought me deep in idle
Billy Slim reminds me of someone
I'm sick of being on the Love Boat
Don't need to kneel 'cause they wanna jump rope
And I say, look

I got my diddly spayed
I got a little tail
I got my diddly spayed [2X]

Ahhhh, I got no balls
Don't throw that ball
I got a huh, huh
When ya gonna learn?

I got my diddly spayed [6X]
I got my diddly




Downer

See Bleach.




Mexican Seafood

Oh, itchy flakes, it isn't through me
Till the jaw's in flames, it's entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, it's only a dys-infection

Only hurts a night, until I pee
Only hurts a night, until I sleep

Oh, coming up, and diarrhea
On the tile floor, a gum of pizza
In the toilet bowl, aroma cloudy
Toss, feel it burn, become a chowdered mess

Only hurts a night, until I pee
Only hurts a night, until I sleep

Oh, take my bed, I've just consumed some
Flies. Bugs and fleas and even mucus
Stain the Vaseline, and tainted burgers
Stop, in case it learns, and takes a joke as such.




Hairspray Queen

I was your mine, you were mine, my enemy
You were mine, I was your, your enemy
You were mine, I was your, your enemy
You were mine, I was once your enahhhh

You rang
Your ears rang

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, we'll go-ahhhh

Wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, wishful goddess
At night, wishful god

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, you were so modest
At night, Crisco lovefest
At night, a mouthful on me
It's like, fish-filled garbage
At night, the wishful gaaahhhhhhh

[humpy-growling]




Aero Zeppelin

What's the season of love if you can't have everything?
What's the reason you're around if a crime means anything?
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything
What's the meaning of love? It's grand, it's grand

How a culture comes again, it's a crime of yesterday
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway
There's no need to talk to friends, nothin' new is everyday
You could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends
You'll be friends [3X]

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Should the siren irritate, keep it movin' equally
Not to know is just the fact, we're a problem nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
Not to know is just the facts, we're worse nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey?




Big Long Now

It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through (She is new, improved)
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

In this clime
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speak a phrase (Speaking)
Instantly grow (Grown)
I am blind
Waiting in line / Why am I shown?




Aneurysm

Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh

Beat me outta me, beat it, beat it

Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and shoot the shit, uh-huh

She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart


In Utero




Serve The Servants

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

If she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at Salem's lot

Serve the servants, oh no [3X]
The legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a Dad

I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before




Scentless Apprentice

Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away, get away, get away, get away

Every wet nurse refused to feed him
Electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit




Heart-Shaped Box

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
[repeat 2X]
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back




Rape Me

Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [4X]

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one [4X]

My favorite inside source
I kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me (rape me) [8X]
Rape me




Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle

It's so relieving to know that you're leaving
As soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear that you're asking
Wherever you get your way
It's so soothing to know that you'll sue me
This is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient, a display of patience,
Disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire to burn all the liars
A blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad




Dumb

I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is done, but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke, but I have some glue
Help me inhale and mend it with you
We'll float around and hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down and have a hangover
Have a hangover

Skin the sun, fall asleep
Wish away, soul is cheap
Lesson learned, wish me luck
Soothe the burn, wake me up

I think I'm dumb




Very Ape

I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary flies
I take pride as the king of illiterature
I'm very ape and very nice

If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all, I was here first

Out of the ground, into the sky
Out of the sky, into the dirt

[repeat second verse]

Out of the ground, into the sky
Out of the sky, into the ground
Out of the ground, into the sky
Out of the sky, into the dirt




Milk It

I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak, test meat

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight, I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk

Test meat, doll steak

[repeat chorus]

Doll steak, test meat

Look on the bright side of suicide
Lost eyesight, I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma, ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery




Pennyroyal Tea

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids



Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

[spoken]
What's your name? Do you like me?
[end spoken]

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'd with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third-degree burns

What is wrong with me
What is what I need
What do I think I think

This had nothing to do with what you think
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke

Hate, hate your enemies
Save, save your friends
Find, find your place
Speak, speak the truth

May day, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart.
We all want something fair, my heart.
Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy!

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart.
Queen of lies, today, my heart
One more on the phone, my heart
One more at the door of my heart.
Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyyyyy!

Me hot, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart



All Apologies

What else should I be? All apologies
What else should I say? Everyone is gay
What else should I write? I don't have the right
What else should I be? All apologies

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun I'm married
Buried

I wish I was like you, easily amused
Find my nest of salt, everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun I'm married
Buried
Married
Buried

All in all is all we are



Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip

It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
That you're only supposed to use once and then discard
Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend
My shyness, pet her flow

She's only been five months late
Even though we haven't had sex for a week

A meal a day, a meal, I say.
And my heart's made my...

Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis
She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer

She's only five weeks late,
And I haven't had a date forever... ever...ever...forever!

Wish I had more...more opportunity
More chances to remember some things
So I couldn't have so much pressure on my...
On my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head.

[solo]

We'd have so much more diversity
And so much more input, so much more creative flow
If we had someone in school, a git

GIT...geeks...in...town.
Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one...
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC

Fuck, man, this is a waste of time!
[laughter]
One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!

[solo]

You're personally responsible for...
The entire strip...to be washed away....
Cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
Flowed through the strip and were set on fire

It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight

And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom
And his...silk...
And he...he erected a beautiful city...
A city of stars

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry, don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Don't expect me to cry, don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die, don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie, don't expect me to die for thee



The Man Who Sold The World

We passed upon the stair
He spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I thought you died alone
A long long time ago"

"Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world"

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched a foreign land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions there
I must have died alone
A long long time ago

Who knows, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world



Pennyroyal Tea

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty

I
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anem-ennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

See Nevermind. However, there are subtle differences in the chorus:

Isn't me, haven't seed
Let me clip dirty wings
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help to help myself
Got some rope, have been told
Promise you heaven true
Let me take a ride, hurt yourself
Want some help, help myself

Plateau

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, shake the many hands

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

You finish with the mop and you can stop and look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen, and the work, it was fun

Many a hand's began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was greenland, and some say mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could



Oh, Me

If I had to lose a mind, if I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul, the way I do
I don't have to think, I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
But that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion, invented at your birth

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
Formulate infinity, store it deep inside me



Lake Of Fire

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bitten by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew away howling on the yellow moon

People cry and people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make 'em their own



All Apologies

See In Utero.



Where Did You Sleep Last Night

My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me when did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever she
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl
Where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body it never was found

My girl, my girl
Don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

Even In His Youth

Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean, going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was something
Disgrace the family name means something

Read this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave

Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean, going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed, he was ashamed he was nothing
Disgrace the family name going nowhere

[repeat chorus]

I have seed 'cause I have grown

She's at the seams
She don't need [3X]
In the seams, in on the seams, at the seam
She don't need, not the seams

I will shiver the whole night through I put something in the garden
In the handle, on the mantle
I'm not santa, I'm not god

I want a lady, can you save me
It's the sulfur I have drunk

I have fleas so run on home

He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want

Of a marigold

He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I want

And if you save yourself, you will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes, they you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you in grass, then you'll think you're happy

Now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Conclusion came to you

And if you cut yourself, you will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes, they you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you in grass, then you'll think you're happy

And if you fool yourself, you will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes, then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in your shit, then you'll think you're happy

Now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room

I Hate Myself And Want To Die

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my full fill

In the someday
What's that I've sung
[repeat 3X]

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger pressing down some horse pills
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I want to refill

[chorus]

[spoken]
Most people don't realize
That a large piece of coral
Painted brown and attached to the skull with common wood screws
Will make a child look like a deer

Pay To Play

Monkey see, monkey do, I don't know why I
Walk around, follow you, I don't know why I
Throw it out, keep it in, I don't know why I
Have to have poison skin, I don't know why

Pay, pay to play
Pay to play
Pay to play

Walk an inch, take a mile, I don't know why I
Never faded, never smiled, I don't know why I
Never mind, eat and run, I don't know why I
Broken your ass for the fun, I don't know why I

Spank Thru

There's a song within the mountains
And there's a little light in the trees
And all the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily
We're together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby

I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
Living without you girl
You only break my heart, yeah

I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it
I can spank it, I can beat it, masturbate it

I've been looking for day glow
Always hearing the same old
Silly woman you're faithful
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could

I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it
I can spank it, I can beat it, ejaculate it

[repeat bridge, solo, repeat bridge]



If You Must

I can read, I can write
I can breathe through the pipe
Rest my greed, crease and fold
Is it me or my ego

Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or storyline
Set the mood, something new
Is it me or my attitude

If you want to belong
Enemies, the extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing
Perfect T, pressuring
Onto me, onto me, onto me

I will wait, I am frightened
To explain, you're silent
By the time you analyze me
We'll compare all our [...] to mud

I speak to hear my voice

You go, you give, you get
You're good to me
Only using time is such an easy way to go
You go, you give, you get
You've got to be
In the circle and the scary love feeling

Mmmmm lies again
Mmmmm
Mmmmm lies again
Mmmmm
Mmmmm lies again

You're lonely

Waste your time by shaving with the skeletal ball
Get a politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of rehashing
Protest and then go to jail for tresspassing

Don't mean it's so

Don't mean it's so



Blandest

You're my favorite
Of my saviors
You're my favorite

Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no

And the situation wasn't quite as intense as I thought
I need you around to remind me what not to become

Do You Love Me

Kiss cover

You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like the seventies, love the heels
And going to all of the shows, but

Do you love me?
Really love me?

You like the credit cards and private plane
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars, but

Do you love me?
Really love me?

You really like rock and roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the money that I make, but

Do you love me?
Really love me?

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
From all of the magazines

[something extremely silly from the backing vocalists]

Opinion

Congratulations, you have won
It's a year's subscription of bad puns
A major story of concern
And they set it up with more returns

My opinions, mmm-hmm

And there seems to be a problem here
And the dead emotion seems too clear
Now they rise and fall like wall street stock
And they haven't thanked a [???] talk

They'll take me with them

They started this mess
I know I seen them do it
Now they better confess

Help Me (Help Me, I'm Hungry)

Hold me, need some attention
Degrade me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking cornered
Grade me, you make it worse

Light upon your enemy
Heads strangled, pathetic, fucked up
People freaking every day
Wild eyed in the side, what do you want

Old naked man picked all the scabs
And fed them to the pigeons
Help him, he's fucking cornered
Grade him, you'll make your mark

Light upon your enemy
Heads strangled, pathetic, fucked up
People breaking every day
Wild eyes in the side, all alone

Hold me, I'm fucking grounded
Help me, I'm falling hungry
Hold me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, no matter who are you

Breaking man, he's taken something
And fed him to the pigeons
Help him, he's fucking falling
Hate him, you'll burn a mark

Light upon your enemy
Ears, tendrils, appearance fucked-up
People breaking every day
Wild eyes in the side while alone

Hold me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking hungry
Hold me, I'm fucking helpless
Aaaaaah



Oh, The Guilt

She seems to be, she seems to be
It takes a week [...]
It takes a time, it takes a time
It takes a time, it wasn't long ago
She likes to be, she likes to be
She likes to be in the water now
It likes the sound, I like the sound
I like the sound, I'd like to let it out
Let it out

It takes a time, it takes a time
It takes a time to answer all of it
It takes a week, it seems to be
It seems to me it wasn't long ago
It likes the sound, it likes the sound
I'd like the sound, it wasn't over yet
It lays the seed, it lays the seed
It lays the seed [...]
Let it out



It's Closing Soon

Most of it seems to be some variation of:

In His Hands (In His Room)

Given conversations in a lying bee
Wouldn't want to take it in a tiny []
Taking medications in a [] room
Hidden conversations in a tiny tube

See [] in his hands, he's coming man on man
He's dying in his room, he's crying in his room
Thirty [] in his way, he's coming back again

Wouldn't want to fake you out and I don't mind
Keeping conversations to a minimum
Given medications in a lying room
Wouldn't want to fake you, I don't know I should

See the silence in his hands, getting color back again
Keep it coming in his youth, []
See the silence in his hair, getting color back again

Wouldn't want to make it and I don't mind
Wouldn't want to fake you in a harmless time
Keeping conversations to a minimum
Taking medications 'till his stomach's full

See [] in his hands, getting color back again
See the heartbeats in his hands, []
Seen a zombie in her hair, he didn't cover you know where
