ACID RANCH: SOME OF THE MAGIC SYRUP WAS PRESERVED

SIDE 1

THE THEORY OF BROKEN CIRCLES (from the tape 'Bazooka') 5:21
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard - Mitchell)

Now when Jesus spoke to the Apostles
The uneasy crowd was quiet yet loud
And in the mood for betrayals
Most wore basic black
And even the unholy could smell a rat
Would sooner throw parties than stones
Would soon break virgins than bones

The theory of broken circles
AKU

"Spy!" shouted the crew
It was the 7th version
Of "what new perversion have we here?"
Sodom took a drag
"We're all in the same boat
And don't touch that goat..."
The chorus of "Kill the Captain"
Part of a mutant mutiny
And gommorah watches films in the locker room
Full speed ahead!
I need to see Hollywood through a Spanish coin

The theory of broken circles
(And I'm not shittin' you)
The theory of broken circles
I hitched a ride down to Dallas
I saw the Beatles at the Palace
And i did not hear the gun shot
When they dragged me from the warehouse
They said "You're on your own boy, you're on drugs boy"
I said "Not me, I'm new life! I'm new life!"
Where were you back in 1963?
Don't tell me lies about beatnik prodigy
I want salvation
I want interrogation
No constellation to the alien nation

Now when time elapsed
And the curfew was enforced
They took away all transportation
So we murdered the guards
Stole the horses from the yards
And went to the permanent vacation

If you're into rock n' roll
Then you've got to sell your soul
To the theory of broken circles

UNDERDOGS 2:50
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard - Mitchell)

And he looked over the town
And he stood and he gazed at the people (people)
And they were walking around
And he stood and he gazed at all of the people (people)
We looked at the underdogs
We were watching the underdogs

DOCTOR MOON 3:15
(R. Pollard)

Who's the man in the longer robe?
Took the money and he tries to run
Take your money and you want to go
All the running and you know where to go
What did you see when you walked to the road?
What did you see when you walked to the road?
No... no...
Who's the man in the longer robe?
Did you take it for the longest one?
Did you run him along the load?
Did you stay along the road?
Did you, on your feet, to the left
In your rut, in your life, oh no!
Did you try to run?
No, no...woah
On the run
Now lay a while, baby
What then was it in your long brown hair?
Who's the man you're layin' with, heh?
He comes standing like a long tall Indian
And we see that it's really just there
Oh, when you go up
It's not my affair
Wait for me one more hour
Wait for me one more hour
Wait for me one more hour

PICTURES FROM THE BRAINBOX 3:25
(R. Pollard, J. Pollard, Mitchell)

Grandma's connected to a black and white
Push button brainbox
Donate your dollars to the logical scholars
Of the radiated smile
And radiation kills
She takes the little yellow pills
That make her sleep

Suspended animation - yeah
Total degradation - yeah
And auto-medication - yeah

Slowdown - speed up
The club down the street
With no signs that compete
With cold streets tomorrow
We're on our way from earth
Can't fix the plumbing
No second coming
See you next week, baby
They'll be out in the streets, oh yeah
Looking for anyone to eat, oh yeah
They'll take the logical mask of defeat, oh yeah
They're dying to see Jesus

Fat greedy bastards sit in beautiful mansions
Combing their ransoms, man
For the sum of gold saved
Whilst building the coolest of graves
Puppet-headed conscious police
Saviors of the weak
Masters of the donkey and carrot
Perfectionists of dog and bone
Get them in their homes
The hordes of Christian clones
"We know no other vehicle"
Save the keeper of the aquarium
But electronic John the Baptist
And a much more comfortable ride
When we come to place, yeah!
We'll all go together
Has anyone died?
Come back with your mind fried?

SONG OF LOVE :40
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard - Mitchell)

Listen
Well, I was running
From my baby
And she was talking
All about my love
Listen
To my song of love

HEY, BABY 1:30
(R. Pollard)

Hey, Baby
Why you tellin' me lies?
Hey, Baby
Why do i have no alibi?
She's insane
I believe that she comes around
Thou angel
I believe that she comes around
Hey, Baby
Why are you treating me so bad?
Hey Sugar
Sometimes i feel like I'm mad
Show me love
All in in a run of days of rain
Lay it down
All in the pain and play it right
All in a chance
There would she do the same?
There will i do the groove by candle light
This place!

LOVE BEAT 1:35
(R. Pollard, J. Pollard, Mitchell)

I can feel your love beat
I can feel your love beat
Beating like a hammer in my brain
Beating like a heartbeat in my brain
Can't you feel my heartbeat?
Emotion I give you is strangely exotic
It brings out the best in me, girl
And it brings out the worst in me, girl
And I can feel the hard, hard heartbeat
And I can feel your heartbeat
I can feel the commotion
I can feel the strong strong emotion
I can feel the strong strong emotion
I can feel the strong strong emotion
I can feel the soul

REDBOOTS AND THE HELMET 3:15
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Redboots smiled like an electric child
The gift his father gave him
Came straight from God
"Journey onward, Son
Through porcupine nights and daffodil days..."
This was in 19 something and 5
Before the rise of the faceless union
In the heart of Mork and Mindy
Spit through tubeless transportation

This catastrophic nightmare endured
Just a burning fart away
From the terminal tooth decay

The landscapes
The algoythms
Penelope
The head shrinkers
We're all too much

Like a sunburn in the arctic
The best Elvis on Earth
The final calculation of slaughtered Indians
On reruns of Rawhide

Redboots picked up a rock
And threw it through an adjacent window
Angry looking people sat luridly in the press box
And the lucky passers-by who stood
Gawking at the new messiah

If you're gonna take a look
Do it by the book
Question the plot?
Obviously not

And the last thing under construction was my mind...

SIDE 2

MORNING HAS BROKEN 2:18
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Morning has broken again
Morning has broken again
Have you told me?
Have you told me how it feels?
Have you told me how it's real?
Have you told me how it feels?
How it's real how it feels?
Morning...
Broken...

Local Observer:
Today Superman jumped off a building
And he couldn't fly
And he couldn't fly
Straight to the ground he fell
You should have seen him die...oh

Drunk at the end of the bar:
He ate a pound of Kryptonite
He ate a pound of brotherly love, baby

Strange Signal:
One...$.02 now...I wish it could be, if it was only there...I know

Local Observer:
He didn't know it was Kryptonite
Superman took a dive
And he hadn't
He didn't know how to fight
For truth, for justice, for safety of man

Old Dude with paper in hand:
For law and order, read all about it, Make another plan

(12 YEARS LATER - SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN ALASKA)
Strange Signal:
Uh, which one is the ground system
And blowing smoke out the eyes of another
And drilling two holes in the bottom of the Earth
Where life could be once again
Like it once was
In the ice age
In a kingdom long ago
Without chance
Without hope
Without vision
And therefore:
Always creating the same effect
Without ever knowing...
...Why

LOOK TO THE LEFT 1:45
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Look to the right of you
Look to the left of you
Put your head in the middle
And look to the right of you
Put your nose in the middle
And look to the left of you
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Look to the right of you
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Look to the right of you
Baby, don't you understand my intentions for you?
Look to the left of you
Baby, don't you understand me intentions for you?
Look to the right of you
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Round and around and around and around
And around and around and around we go
Look to the left of you
Look to the right of you
Get it up go, hey!
Let's go to town and
Look to the middle
Look to the left
Look to the right
And look for the details

YOU WILL BE THERE 2:30
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Let me tell you something
I don't need you
I don't have to have anything to do with you
And if I could be real
Do you think i would even try?
And if the night would change
Do you think that I would cry?
And when the light shines down on me
And when the daylight comes
You will be there
You will be there
Don't you let me see you up there
Don't you let me catch you in the light
Don't you let me ever change
Ten million people that will never be around
Have no form of communications
I will never be there
Never be there
Never be there

MONGOOSE ORGASM 1:12
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard - Mitchell)

Instrumental

EXPLORATORY RAT FINK COMMITTEE 2:50
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

The exploratory rat fink committee
They're back!
I never needed much time
To change the scheme of plans
It's taken so long now
It's taken so long now
But every time I think about a change
It seems to take me back to
Where I was before
And I know I never had much money anyway
Who found those?
And of course I'm a faceless coward
We are the rat fink committee
Exploratory rat fink committee
Exploratory
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Exploratory rat fink committee
Exploratory rat fink committee
Exploratory rat fink committee
And it never takes too much time
For anyone to accept our ideas
And it never takes very long
For a very long time to elapse
And i need your hand
Before we stand
Among the...
Exploratory rat fink committee!

DUNGEON OF DRUNKS 3:17
(R. Pollard)

Just use a paper towel or something, I don't know
Anything will do
A rag...any kind of old rag

Strolling around
With ten people and
Did you catch that act?
Is in the firelight
Don't tempt me with that giraffe act

Spent my years in a dungeon of drunks
Dinin' and cheers - An occasion of lunks
Never to hold in another kind of world
Except in events in another different world

Hold on there, one time
Go now on your senses
Change it and know it's sense
Which words are wandering
All that two different ways and never

In a dungeon of drunks you can be real
In a dungeon of drunks you can steel all the food
In a dungeon of drunks you can talk to the rats
In a dungeon of drunks you can feel
You can feel like equate in a world
And you can gaze all your craze in a love
And i remember it well
I should have never have done that
In the first place without you...

THE MEGAPHONIC THRIFT (AN ODD ASSEMBLY) 3:47
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard - Mitchell)

We were the losers or so they thought
But what we wanted is what we got
We were nobody
But now we're somebody
And you can't take a name from a man
Once he's made it
And we have made it
Here at the megaphonic thrift
We laugh at the ignorant public
And infamy is on our side
And so many join us here
At the megaphonic thrift
But you can never run out of heroes

Roll call!

Boothe
Bordan
Disalvo
Hitler
Iscariot
Leopold
Lobe
Nero
Oswald
Pizzaro
Shepherd
Speck

We've got more coming everyday
This Manson boy is on his way
And Texas is at it again
Our capitol of murder and sin
Here at the megaphonic thrift
We can always use new blood

LONELY STREET 1:00
(R. Pollard)

I've got to get me in a trueman's spirit
On a lonely street
And if you could then I knew you would
In a lonely street
Be there when I need you
Lonely men in lonely times
I need to find you
Whether you know it or not
And I know that
Lonely people are going to find you anyway
Lonely times
Better than none at all

SIDE 3

MR. GENE-O 2:21
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

8 stone Sunday lobster
Subway cars roll in
Building of coffins
Build me a coffin
Pour me some coffee
White house radar readings
"The last text on village firearms"

My dad eats shit and barks at the moon
And Mr. Gene-o holds the spoon - he said so

Sun-tanned bodies floating in ice cream
Worries carried away - hey
On distant mushroom clouds
I talk very loud
He says "Mind your manners"
I do, but don't think so

My dad eats shit and barks at the moon
And Mr. Gene-o holds the spoon - he said so

I eat with my hands
He says "Pray for forgiveness"
I do but don't think so
I bark at the moon
He says "Stay within reach"
I do
I do but don't think so
I do Mr. Gene-o
I do but don't think so
I do Mr. Gene-o
Fuck you Mr. Gene-o

I HATE YOUR PERFUME 1:48
(R. Pollard)

I never wanted to be there without you
But I hated when we sat together waiting
I figured that without you I'd be happy
And now I know that tears could stain my pillow

Hate your perfume
Hate your perfume
I hate the way you talk to me
And if you could be a one night stand
And if you would see me then - dying down

You want me to be over can't do sorrow
And i won't play that game until tomorrow
It's funny but the children aren't singing
And if I will be home again - oh well

I hate your perfume
I hate when you wear it in the room
I hate your perfume when you wear it in my room
When you wear it in my room
I hate your perfume
Hate your perfume

STEAK AND EGGS 3:05
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Gary:
I'm so damn hungry
I need to get me something to eat
I need to get me something to eat

Robin:
I've got this machete

Gary:
Let's get something to eat

Robin:
Now, let's get your car
Let's get the machete
Put it in the car
We'll go back out, where we...
You know where those cows we saw
When we came by, you know?
We'll go back out there and
Just cut one of 'em's leg off
And eat it...Yeah

Judge Fudge:
Oh as the sunrise-day break
And the grass turns brown
This time we've found
Your lemonade profits spent unwisely
And I'm waiting for you

Gary:
Officer, I don't
I was here all night
You can ask my old lady...
You know what?
It's just that I can't breathe
It's just that I can't breathe
It's just that I can't breathe

DYING 1:30
(J. Pollard - R. Pollard - Mitchell)

Dying

EDISON'S MEMOS 1:45
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Always a choirboy
Edison's memos
The blueprints contrived of the Christian world
Do you remember the ways?
Edison's memos
Change it
Rearrange it
Oh, you've gotta change that attitude of yours
Well
Well - uh-huh
Well, well
She's a lady - she stands about 18,000 feet high
Almost touches an orange marmalade sky
Edison's memos
Edison's memos
Do you suppose that you could change your life?
If you could, then I wish you would

WHAT KIND OF LOVE AFFAIR? 1:45
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Did I tell ya that I feel the way that I feel
Every time I look into those eyes?
Maybe it comes as a big surprise
Maybe it comes a s lie!
(You know I'd never lie)
Look into the vast vast space
Maybe I have not a single clue
Maybe I know you and me
But I don't know just what to do
With our love affair
What kind of love affair?
When I change, when I change
I go insane and feel so blue
When I change, when I change
I go insane and I love you too
My baby
My sweet sweet honey child
Work
Work (that's the sound you make)
Sound you make when I feel so blue
And i feel blue for you
I feel blue - it's true!
Baby, baby
Ah
No no no no
Hey, now now now
Hey hey hey hey

FLY 1:09

Wiping shit off your legs right now
Oh baby, baby, baby
'Cus you a fly!
Big nasty hairy fucker
Wiping shit off your legs right now
Oh baby, baby, baby

ELECTRIC INDIANS 1:30
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Are we ready? We are
Get a load of that
And get a taste of freedom
Your campaign for holy host is not all that easy
I promised you a garden
Not an empire of worms
That flood you with possession & sailboats & seasons
Not now - forever in love with death
Not now - taking an intoxicating breathe
Of sweet victory on the sea
'Til the morning arrives with her litter of trash
Bathing in the new grapes of wrath
I could make him a political savior
And I minor mutant of the cosmos
This waffle of religion
And Catholic infiltration
Smoke with Indians
Electric Indians
True blue Indians
Guru Indians
Not now - forever in love with death
Not now - taking an intoxicating breathe
Of sweet victory on the sea
'Til the morning arrives with her offspring of filth
Bathing in the product of her wealth

NEWTON'S HOPELESS MARRIAGE 3:17
(R. Pollard)

He went running 'round the streets
And never thought of anyone else
With his laws of gravity
And all the things that he had pretended he knew
And everything that ever went down in the world
It was his marriage to the Earth
And solid land

Newton - have you thought of a plan?
Newton - Have you ever had command?

I saw him once in the streets
Thinking he was some kind of big shot subordinate
Plausing out the purposes that were ever tasked upon them
His artwork was phenomenal
His scientific programs were unusual

Newton - are you ever gonna have a purpose?
Newton - this is you chance to change
A task force copulation emptied
Newton, Newton

What goes up must come down
An object in motion will remain in motion
Until acted upon by another force
That is, unless of course
Newton, you gotta change it
You gotta rearrange it

THAT GIRL MOORE 1:21
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

When she comes close to me
I say the things I wanna say
When she comes close to me
I know that she'll be close to me
And i know that when we kiss
That she's with me and I can't miss
I love that girl
Love for her for ever more
Ever more
I love that girl Moore
Love her more

LET'S GO TO CHINA (WHERE THE EAST IS GOOD TO ME) 3:00
(R. Pollard)

Let's go away to China
We can be free again
Let's go out - let's run away - to China
And trees will be high
And kites fly
And you hold your head
Way above me behind the trees
Hey, lost beneath the world
Paid a lot of low-life
Said I don't mind
Hey, Girl
Find the fast of the world
Let's go to China
Let's go to where the east is good to me...

CHERRY-ANN DOESN'T LOVE ME NO MORE 1:38
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Don't you think about America, bay bay baby?
I went to a party Saturday night
Oh, I receive such a helluva shock
A helluva shock
Carrie-Ann doesn't love me know more
Carrie-Ann doesn't love me know more
Carrie-Ann doesn't love me know more
Can you believe that?
I'll never believe you
Carrie-Ann doesn't love me know more
Carrie-Ann doesn't love me know more
Git up, git up on your good girl
Git up, git up on your good girl
Git up, git up on your good girl
Git up, git up on your good girl
You gotta help me baby
You gotta help me mama
You gotta tell me when I'm sad
Git up, git up on yourself girl
Git up, git up on yourself, baby
Git up, git up on yourself
This is the ballad of Carrie-Ann's party
This is the ballad of Carrie-Ann's party

SCARY OUT THERE 1:37
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Tired of running from a different debt
Someone told me it's scary out there
Gloating like thieves that catch me
Building the wrong bomb

CATH 1:37
(R. Pollard)

I went to dustin' town
He knows it's the best around
And he sees it everyday
He don't know what to say
I hate it anyway
I hate it anyway - oh, yeah
Oh, sure
Oh Cath, you're a very fine girl
You make it, war my world
And if i could, I'd be your man
But that's just not in your plan
And I hate that way you look at him
Oh woah, Cathy
Come on, Cathy...

FROGMEN 2:11
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

Frogmen - frog men
The saviors of our waters
The heroes of our country - frogmen
Amphibious Americans
Learn to swim in America
Frogmen - Frogmen - Frogmen - Frogmen

Lifeguards of the Navy
Rubber suits for smooth protection

BEATLES AND STONES 6:43
(R. Pollard)

I've met famous people
I've sung famous songs
Famous people sing famous songs
And the situations totally fucked - totally wrong
Do you wanna shout at the devil?
Do you wanna twist and shout?
This is the lesson that i have learned
This is Fats Domino and Mary Hopkins
A quest for fire
Growing in the movieland anthills
Out of the dirt of a southern poorch
Rehearsal for the reversal
Loudly in the chaos of a
Checkerboard ballroom
Bricks and bones
Beatles and Stones
Don't confuse success with luxury
Success doesn't exist
Success is drugs if you want it
Got love if you want it
But no one wants it
Because flesh and blood is made out to be more
I want long hair
I want free love
I want no more war!
Isn't this the same old song
It's the same old story - Isn't it?
Beatles and Stones don't break bones
And words can never harm you

SALVATION ARMY BACON AND EGGS 1:57
(R. Pollard - J. Pollard)

And then he stood in the check-out line
Approximately 3 hours
"This is cold war!" shouted a clerk
"This is Russian hell!" shouted a jerk
"Venusian baby food for sale
Builds strong bodies 12 different ways"
The butcher sliced into a large side of beef
As if he were trying to win female respect
At a county fair
The man staggered to the automatic exit
And threw up his guts
That's food!
FDA inspected
Off the counter and into the stomach
And back onto the floor
Where it belongs...
