I'll probably get blamed for this Just because I raised the dead again Just because I kicked holes, broke bones, broke trusts, split hairs Split heads. But you just can't take a joke Meanwhile my glass eye is fogging up From all the heavy breathing. I'm the infection I like to run I'm a reflection Just look what you've done. You just had to get some, make cum, make fun, drink blood living without consequence until you die from it. You just had to get some, make fun, make cum, drink blood Living! Living! Living! Living! Until you die from it. Meanwhile my glass eye can see That a hot lava flow of brake lights cascade Down the asphalt horizon of some future Pompeii Too crazy for the Army. Too ugly for film But we're waiting for "him". It's always a "him" All this waste and fear; looks clearer with my glass eye fogged up.

This stopped being funny years ago, And a long running sitcom's clip show flashed before my eyes. I've lost volumes spent on made up people. Back wash your repertoire, quit quoting your own lines. Where do you go when you write? Your reserve was watertight. You've been letting water in And now there's nothing else beneath your skin. I'm drowned out When the laughter gets too loud. Hey, these jokes aren't very funny but they're the only ones I tell. This joke stopped being funny when he was 12. Where do you go when you write? Your reserve was water tight. You've been letting water in Until there's nothing else beneath your skin. And how do you just drift away From the ones who'll think that they're to blame? When I've been letting water win Now I'm lost at sea beneath my skin. I've been letting water win now I'm lost at sea beneath my skin.

A monument is a mausoleum. It's a mutation passed from father to son. Use your words, you could get what you want. (with his fingers in your mouth) It's happening again. I don't know where I am. I woke up naked in the woods with strange blood in my mouth. Come meet the new gods Same as the old gods What kind of hostess would you be? It's his kitchen and not everyone eats Where the boys will be beasts and girls will be meat... START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN It's happening again I don't know where I am I woke up naked in the woods With STRANGE BLOOD in my mouth

Take these limp limbs of mine Tie them around your delicate spine Let's get our business in line. I'll admit my head was turned from side to side, from time to time But these talk shows have poisoned our minds. We season to taste Forgot what we ate From each others plate. Give and take We can see it all from our room gorging on low hanging fruit And ever since we jumped the broom we're like horseshoes and hand grenades Hand to mouth in hand me down style Food that reflects who we are. And when we fell trapped in our car WE JUST KICK OUT THE WINDSHIELD!!! We season to taste Forget what we ate From each others plate Give and take Face to face We season to taste Face to face We season to taste Face to face We season to taste Face to face We season to taste!!!
