These lyrics came from Joseph/ghastly1@ix.netcom.com. Thanks so much for transribing these. This album is the story of the fall of an alcoholic.

AIRSHOW

not this one!


ORDER FOR THE NEW SLAVE TRADE

After clearing his throat
The speaker read from the manuscript
"Only forty-percent of all participants have remained alcoholic."
And we began to discuss amongst ourselves
The possibility for a dream-filled holiday
Order for the new slave trade

New flag blowing
We've used up our minds
We had no way of knowing
Old flag burning
We've lost our souls
There'll be no returning
We've diverted back
To the stretch rack
Only this time
We won't snap back

While crossing the parking lot
A stranger approached me
Handed me a gun
He said meet me in the ashes
Of the old city
And we're bound.....
To have.....
Some fun.



THE HARD WAY

Mannnnn.....
There's a whale outta water
Whoaaaa.....
There's a bone on a string
Doing everything the hard way x2

Stilllll.....
There's ? for the wicked
??? (weak-kneed and ...?)
Go to pale the hard way x2

Sort it out in the animal sea
The factor of the human pride
The place where I was born
The place where my father died

Past the police there's an army
Marching like stone guards from Hell
Into the wishing well the hard way
Wishing well the hard way

Doing everything the hard way x7
We're doing everything the hard way.


DRINKER'S PEACE

At times I wish I were dead
Busy people dancing all over my head
This I value with every move they make
Real bad headache with every step they take


I get a contact buzz
Can't remember what the problem was
I find it hard to even care
Life was to real till you got there

My life is dirt but you seem to make it cleaner
Reduce my felony to a misdemeanor
When I feel sick you're an antibiotic
Organize my world that was pointless and chaotic





MAMMOTH CAVE

Got my flashlight
Two by four
Necessary precaution
Plants at the entrance
Flies at the exit

Way down deep
In the darkest hole
Lost my way
Lost my soul
You can dig my grave 
In Mammoth Cave

I would of brought a sharp object, yeah
But they've taken mine all away
All away

I pretended I wasn't scared
Something fucking stinks in here
Like a sump pump in a sewer
What the hell was I thinking?

Way down deep
In the darkest hole
Lost my way
Lost my soul
You can dig my grave
You can dig me a hole
In the Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave.



WHEN SHE TURNS 50

The tavern's open again
The line-up who light up will surely decide the fate
Of these incorrigibles
Who plaster their messages up on the interstate

When she turns fifty
I might be dead

But acting happy again
Go singing his songs about rush-hour traffic jams
When the vodka kicks in
A night at the Rockies
Digging in for the slam

When she turn fifty
I'll bake the bread
I'll bake the bread.


CLUB MOLLUSKA

Have you seen that girl?
With the blood-shot eyes
With the razor-sharp teeth
And the hungry smile

It's just a runaway world x4

Have you seen that boy?
With voluptuous face
He's a concrete ?
And he's the king of the world

Just a runaway world x4



PENDULUM

Come on over tonight
We'll put on some Catt Butt and
Do it up right
No need to get all caught up
In societies stipulations
You're a member of the freak generation
You're gonna burn to have delation

When the pendulum swings it cuts
When the big door swings open and shuts
Yeah, we'll be middle-age children
But so what

I haven't changed so drastically
They can talk so sarcastically
They'll bust up
But we''ll bust in
Get my down back up again

When the pendulum swings it cuts
When the big door swings open and shuts
Ohhhh, we'll be swollen ?
But so what

When the pendulum swings it cuts
When the big door swings open and shuts
Yeah, we'll be middle-children
But so what
Ohhhh, we'll be swollen
But so what.


AMBERGRIS

What's that you're wearing?
It smells so good
You don't wanna know
What's that you're eating?
Could be misleading
You don't wanna know

But I wanna know x3

A cow could fly if it had wings
We use the bones and everything
What's that you're wearing?
It smells so good
You don't wanna know

But I wanna Know x2
But you don't wanna know
But I wannna know.


LOCAL MIX-UP/MURDER CHARGE

Hand-maiden ashtray
Facing the light
Local mix-up
Someone fix up
What we broke up

The pleasure-seekers
Are out there tonight
Local mix-up
Someone fix up
What we broke up


You as a person
Have got to think fast
Cause this is a party
But it's not gonna last
This is the same place the fly got smashed


Dressing x7
Like a queen
Dressing x7
Like a queen

Aluminum ashtray
Facing the light
Local mix-up
Someone fix up
What we broke up

The pleasure-seekers
Are out there tonight
Local mix-up
Someone fix up
What we broke up





In the early days
He was burting with confidence
I saw the light
The shiny dream
Over the years
He beagn to submerge
The nervous wreck
We know him to be
The nervous, twisted wreck
So watch out for Joker Bob
I wish he were just a distant relative
But he's razor-close like blue green gelatin
Icy-cold
Acid in his heart

With this we shall draw the electrifying conclusion

They strapped him in
Still chewing his bubblegum
They did the Jesus-shock
As the reporters watched
Finally, his ticker stopped
And they buried him with a smile on his puss

And that's the electrifying conclusion


STARBOY

She was the happiest girl I'd ever seen

Starboy
Ohhhhh starboy
Ohhhhh starboy
Ohhhhhuhohhh starboy
Ohhhhh starboy
Ohhhhuhohhhuhohhh starboy
You know it's so easy to fall apart
It's so easy to fall apart
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo......



BLATANT DOOM TRIP

Jill and Vicky liked to drug-out
Doing it naked with ???
Ain't no angels in this part of town
Take me on a blatant doom trip, yeah
Take me on a blatant doom trip
We'll go down
Smell around
Take me on a blatant doom trip

Slow righteous
No time to back out
Lay all commands at the crack of the whip
I don't care if the rain causes pain
Just take me on a blatant doom trip, yeah
Take me on a blatant doom trip
Sonic boom
Legion of doom
Take me on a blatant doom trip

Scags, fags, and scallywags
Blackout
Far too serious and socially hip
Figure it out when it's over
Without a doubt
Take me on a blatant doom trip, yeah
Take me on a blatant doom trip

Bottomless hole
Rock and roll
Take me on a blatant doom trip, yeah x6



HOW LOFT I AM?

Why ask?
The people are snobby
And maybe baby
Maybe baby
You'll be free
Look to the trees while they're growing
And maybe baby
Maybe baby
You'll see

Maybe baby
Maybe...baby

Climb to the top of the ladder
And maybe baby
Maybe baby
You'll know
Stay with the clouds when they scatter
And maybe baby
Maybe baby
Maybe baby
Maybe baby
You will see.
