anxious boy

i'm an anxious boy happiness eludes me
in my reach...poof! then it's gone
dust my shoulders shaking knees
scratch this itch that i can't reach
i wanna belong
i wanna be loved... jump up and kiss me

with my tongue planted firmly to the side of mouth
took some days to sort things out
they're dropping hints of uneasiness
filled with hostility and hatred

i wanna belong
i wanna be loved
jump up and kiss me
if you
if you
kiss me
if you could
if you
if you
kiss me
if you could

sand me down i'm feeling rough
turn me off... i've had enough
i'm a nervous guy pleasure escapes me
in my grasp...swoosh! then it's gone
twitching hands sack of bees
scratch this itch that i can't reach
i wanna belong
i wanna be loved
jump up and kiss me
if you
if you
kiss me
if you could
if you
if you kiss me

bit part actors one act town
press these buttons knock it down
i've lost your faith
i need your trust
far as i'm concerned your name is dust


22

glorified neurosis and a carload of explosives
our doctor friend's just a wee bit fried
ears to ghetto blasters, a prescription to disaster
an all day job just to stay alive

would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds cut straight to my heart
come on there, chicky gurl, let's blow things apart!

honesty and epic shock into corners under rugs
greasy dishes keep mounting up
??? i can't understand this line- any ideas? mail me! (gfreeman@ bluemarble.net)??? can't be straight forward
cause you know it's not in their blood

as i try to negotiate my way through this lifetime
i keep getting hung up at all their roadblocks
would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds cut straight to my heart
come on there chicky gurl let's blow things apart!

as public's slaves to dethroned kings
transvestite brothers strung out queens
the chosen few most likely succeed
over there a sucker's born
mosquito bites and blaring horns
take his clothes
kick him out
then give him the keys

as i try to negotiate my way through this lifetime
i keep getting hung up at all their roadblocks
would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
while egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds
cut straight to my heart
come on there
gather your stuff
let's blow things apart!!


shining through the door

never mind how i got all that money
money doesn't buy me peace of mind
never mind that i can't find a reason
reason doesn't ease these troubled times

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door

every time i try to find a purpose
purpose seems to turn to disarray
every time i try to find a meaning
meaning wants to just slip away

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door
the door... shining through the door
the door... shining through the door

sometimes it's sad
sometimes it's funny
we have the power to elevate ourselves
so i guess we have to keep on going
as dust keeps building layers on our shelves
we have the power to elevate ourselves

never mind how i got all of that money
money doesn't buy me peace of mind
never mind that i can't find a reason
reason doesn't ease these troubled times

in this life of degradation
when nothing seems to be worth living for
truth will come bringing salvation
and that light will come down shining through the door
shining through the door
through the door
shining through the door
shining through the door
shining
shining
shining
shining
shining
keep on shining through the door


i wanna destroy you

i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you
i feel it coming on again
just like it did before
it'll (???)
and (???)
the way you treat each other
makes me(???)
and if you want to fight them
then you're dying to get killed

i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you
(???)
everything you read
and tell you your opinions
and they're very good, indeed

i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you

and when i have destroyed you
i'll come picking at your bones
you won't have a single atom left
to call your own

i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you
i wanna destroy you
destroy you
destroy you
destroy you
destroy you


sinking ship

smut peddling cannibals hang at public urinals
mister wanna buy a watch? leafy catnip tar some rock
skid marked asphalt or a pair of dirty socks!

everything is up for sale
but never any bargains
on vacation out to lunch
nervous smokers got the jitters

coffee stains and shell shocked vets
child molesting paranoid pimps
crooked cops and the dog keeps chasing itself
this cycle never stops
cycle never stops
cycle never stops.. helplessness

street signs read anywhere anytime
can you stop the bus
this is where i wanna get off
confronted by trendy chic hipsters
treading like hamsters
and tires keep turning
rubber's burning
attached to motors
no one's learning
well me hell i'm always looking for
an exit sign
so i can get out
the easy way out
so i can find some peace of brain or a comfortable ride
a cool place to hide
or a get rich quick scheme
a scapegoat or an excuse without any loopholes
so i won't trip or hang myself

something ugly settles
as if i'm heavy or short on breath
a feeling of helplessness
a feeling of helplessness
a feeling of helplessness

when i keep hearing their jibberish
vote no on yes
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test

all those unfortunates caught in bad circumstances
lesbian skinheads who think they're in love
computer programmers owning nervous disorders
and a few sexual fantasies
only running on half filled tanks
half filled tanks
half filled tanks
half filled tanks
who will stand on the deck
on the deck? of a sinking ship...
helplessness
helplessness
helplessness
helplessness


brick

murderous liars hide behind lines of sheep
smiling killers find it easy to sleep
collecting their fortunes at the end of the week
it's sixty five on a one way street

now i've got a brick for your window

highrise hogwash dealt to freeze dried stares
talk 's expensive listening nobody cares
cram those bank account's stocks and shares

now i've got a brick for your window
now i've got a brick for your window

when individualism dies
everything's the same
you can kiss my ass to the state machine!

good versus evil's such a bogus plot
things aren't what they seem
i've got a seven and a half for your tv screen!

herds of paper eaters licking feet
static babble now it's starting to tweak
company kept is just a flock of creeps
alienate me now i feel like a freak

now i've got a brick for your window
yeah! i've got a brick for your window

good versus evil's such a bogus plot
things aren't what they seem
now i've got a seven and a half for your tv screen!!


fable

sunshine visits our new now world
dogcatchers clockout counterfeiters pray
pilgrams stranded on an asphalt artery
without black fluid or a power source
caught chicken pox with measles on a breeze
some call him history

purchased printed slips to a nightmare
our hostess strips on a donkey's back
where every paths unfinished bridges
now all our rubber's growing flat

we're looking searching for the witness
on a deal where they bartered over aversion
any descriptions or whereabouts
of a character dressed in grey
spill these words big payoff!
and for his habit a statue made of hay
winning draws a reward humanity gets saved

purchased printed slips to a nightmare
our hostess strips on a donkey's back
where every paths unfinished bridges
now all our rubber's growing flat
well timed frauds want to know who's stomping
on their toys in their empirical playpen
where'd they stash the virgins?

you know it doesn't matter
if there's a silver lining
so what's the difference?
if you havn't washed behind your ears

shadow length leeches need their cut of the world
as clumsy martyrs fall over potholes
lining sidewalks to an early grave
feminist pillhead crosses her legs
with a dozen extra large a a a eggs
unfolds a map set in her lap to a grimy universe
lavender ledge silhouetted horizon
nut museum's dining then dashing
as roses growing backwards
as i gaze down at the feeding site
i'm a helpless romantic sunk neck deep in quicksand
i'll keep reaching with magnetic eyes


dog

it's not so bad when you think about it
it's not so bad things could be much worse
what about that man
the guy who drove
all the way to boston
he needed a kidney
he was on the news
the front page
of all the papers
he was so famous
they let him go
then he died
they came after his money
his wife and kids
all his pets
all those debts

it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
yeah life with

and what about the lady
who went all that way to ethiopia
to become a missionary
they beat her to death
while she was preaching

what about the guy who saw the tarzan movies
on his way home
he tried to swing on a high voltage wire
killed him right there on the spot

it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
it's important to have little things like that
to compare your life with
yeah life with


gray life

wilting flowers equate death
not what i'm about
this war of wits like vietnam
now i'm pulling out
i need a lump of something
so confused what i want
to put it down in layman's terms
i'm basically fucked
could have given everything
but that's not enough
when i asked for sugar
you substitute salt

i'm trying to think up
some miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery

i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life

sawing on my limbs
in this surrealistic dream
tie me up, gag my mouth
now i 'm ready to scream
sad eyed velvet painting
you don't want to be loved
titanic frontrow stateroom
you've been screwing the crew
i might be an imbecile
but i won't be a fool

i'm trying to think up
some miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery

i won't settle on a gray life
i won't settle on a gray life
i won't settle on a gray life

i need a lump of somehting
so confused what i want
to put it down in layman's terms
i'm basically fucked

i'm trying to think up some
miraculous strategy
to bust loose from this creeping misery
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
i won't settle for a gray life
gray life


exhaust breath

hey there exhaust breath
planet's stapled to your chest
chuck of the skies
your piece of the pie
with gridlocked ears and dollar signs

don't you know you're out of time

get in line heartless mothers got no soul
grit your teeth do what you're told
try as you may you're spinning around
you're last toss of the dice
as you're putting those lips to your boss

don't you know you're out of time
hey there exhaust breath
what it is ain't what you said
what the hell goes through your head?

hey mister smog breath
clean that cage and make your bed
no remorse for those things you did
hatching schemes beneath those ribs

don't you know you're out of time
hey there exhaust breath
what it is ain't what you said
your device will be your death

carburetor lungs mudslining crooks
juggling sharks wolves pitbulls
styrofoam sandwich bypass to go


career day

baby bean just wants to scream
coco listens sounds of speed
shane will drive his parents nuts
banging on their table tops

halloween cartoon stars
rocket ships hotrod cars
mutant rangers spokes on bikes
chocolate donuts up all night
bandaids stitches broken arms
mary poppins lucky charms
exaggerated kung fu blows
coughs and sneezes runny nose

clara's going to go go dance
chealsea's straight a's yells and rants
bucket rids the world of dirt
nigel's just an introvert

halloween cartoon stars
rocket ships hotrod cars
mutant rangers spokes on bikes
chocolate donuts up all night
bandaids stitches broken arms
mary poppins lucky charms
training wheels training bras
water wiggles monkey bars
rocco's grassy pads and cleats
travis digs on dino meat
austin rings her such a goof
ian jams with sonic yoof
