It's once for business and twice for pleasure, write three for business on the company ledger.
people pushing papers
in tall
buildings
disabling the world
by pretending to enable it
It's once for business and twice for pleasure, write three for business on the company ledger.
I'm standing at the precipice
to obtain
the last puzzle piece
but the people pushing papers
always hang me up
It's once for business and twice for pleasure, write three for business on the company ledger
I was born
To wear a suit
And push a paper
Down a chute
It's once for business and twice for pleasure, write three for business on the company ledger.

Psychic numbing
Choice paralyses
Decision fatigue
Interesting
That's interesting
But it's not what I need
Can the poet laureate get a little bread?
Can the poet laureate get a little
Bread
Head
Bread
Head
All I ever wanted was a little cash
To buy myself a speedo and a cadillac
Agoraphobia
Metamorphosis
Tuburculosis
Intravenously
Independently
Completely insane
Can the poet laureate get a little bread?

Away
Don't ever look away
I can see through the sunlight
and when everything feels right
I'll come home to you and light my fire
It's like royal invitations
From double nations
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down
Away
Don't ever look away

Cherry Cage
02:37
|

|
Walking on down
the avenue
gotta place to be
gotta thing to do
Something in the wind
Something in the air
Brought me to her cherry stare
She gave me a ride
Said anytime
But don't tell nobody my name
Just call me Queen Anne
I said alright
That's outta sight
Later saw a paper with her photo on the cover
Next to a man
Holding his hand
I can't understand
I'm a prisoner
In a cherry cage
For her love
That was made
With poison
She gives me money
She gives me sex
But she don't give me no respect
I'm nothing
I can't go on
Like this no more
I'm turning around
and walking out
Forever
It's been three nights
And I can't sleep
I can't stop thinking
Thoughts about Queen Anne
Missing her hands
I feel like a tool
A Backdoor Man

Bomb Pop

|

|
I've been up all night
Smoking on the corner with a military man
He's been trying to convince me
Not to join the riot at the popsicle stand
They've been rioting rioting rioting
Rioting rioting rioting against the Bomb Pop
Said I can't join the navy
Sailing across the seas to a faraway land
Said I can't join a union
Or team up with the bank
To buy contraband
Said there ain't no room for you
On the corner
I'd kiss you if I kissed, but my kissing days are over
I'd miss you if I missed but my missing days are over
I've been rioting rioting rioting against the Bomb Pop

I don't wanna be your peppermint
I don't wanna be your twist
I don't wanna be your peppermint
Shaky paper fist
Looking for a kiss
No, I don't wanna go down like this
I don't wanna be your imbecile
I don't wanna make your list
I don't wanna be your toy soldier
Raising up my hand
I'm the new Gingerbread Band
No I don't wanna go down like this
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna go down like this
You took me by the hand and stole my heart
At 1553
But later on I saw you with your man
And he was on one knee
I said
No
I don't wanna go down like this
I don't wanna be your peppermint
I don't wanna be your twist
I don't wanna be your peppermint
Shaky paper fist
Looking for a kiss
No, I don't wanna go down like this

Queen Anne
01:51
|

Late last night sat for to pine
I had Queen Anne on my mind
She loves sadness
But she don't like grief
She hates my mouth
But she loves my teeth
I remember you so good
But you're with him it's understood
Don't look at me like that again
I can't control what happens then
Psychic visions in my mind
Psychic visions in my mind
Queen Anne
She likes the look but she hates the brand

Boogieman Blues

|
I came
And I saw
And I conquered
But don't fret
I'll be back
When I'm honest
I'm the Boogie Man in the moonlight
And I want to suck your blood
I'm what's crawling around in the dark
Trying to steal your heart

It's me and you against the world
Babe
Stick with me, we'll have it made
It's me and you against the world
Babe
No one else would take you in
No one else would be your friend
Something simple whistles in the wind
Will you throw it all away to hold my hand
Something simple whistles in the wind
Will you throw it all away to hold my hand
Now I'm standing at the place
Babe
The spot where we were supposed to go
Now I'm pacing back and forth
Babe
You were supposed to meet me here an hour ago
Something simple whistles in the wind
Will you throw it all away to hold my hand
Something simple whistles in the wind
Will you throw it all away to hold my hand
So I've made my preparations
When you write to tell me goodbye
I'll be gone

On a night like a color wheel
You kissed the warmest red
We were walking down the avenue
Looking for a bed
But we came upon a man there instead
And he pulled out his pistol
And this is what he said
"I thought about it for a long long time. If diamonds grew on trees they'd be a dollar a dime."
At the last moment
I put out my hand
But you left me for dead
And I can't understand
She had me like some art
I probably deserved it
Some say I don't deserve shit
Like a dog in the alley way, going through the scraps
Now this dog is out on the scene
Pretending that his life doesn't mean anything
Because he shot me
He shot me

Remember saturday morning cartoons?
About shame and regret and misfortune and false opportunities
I never thought I would see them
From a hospital bed
Yeah my baby
We went for a ride
She said, "I'll be your doctor, I'll be your priest. I am the drug they put in your IV. I'll be your sorrow, I'll be your sweat. I'll be your bookie just come place your bet."

Bloody Anne

Oh my, Bloody Bloody Anne
Her pupils are cracked and her eyelids are stained
From pulling back the curtains
Past the window frames
Waiting on somebody they call
Dank James
And when he arrives she'll show him the end
Oh my Bloody Bloody Anne
She hid the body in a little ravine
She warmed her car up so she could split the scene
Shot her husband right in
To his brain
Waiting on Dank James to treat him the same
Waiting on Dank James to give him the blame
Oh My, Bloody Bloody Anne

He's walking on the side of a word around town
It ain't no mausoleum
He's walking inside to see his queen who's got the
Scent of another man
Blind man said again
Word around town
Proud to spread the game
Hears all sees all feels all tall
He's talking about Dank James
He heard the girls all lean on him
And call him little pet names
Everyone knows his cologne the
Scent of another man
Dank James

Off To See The Wizard
02:32
|

He's going to see the wizard
God save Dank Rex
He's wheezing while he walks
He's tired of sex (Tired of what?)
He's going to see the wizard
Who taught him rock and roll
Who taught him how to toke and how to stroll
He's going to see the wizard
He's going to see the witch
Sometimes baby life is just a bitch
I got sweat from a Heater
I got iced by a Queen
I got hooked up to a Gaslight Scene
Looking at the tile
Wounds heal in style
Ice melts after a while
And always track a mile
The witch came in like a marionette
But she didn't have no strings attached
She threw herself at Dank and said, "Catch!"
The wizard just laughed and stood up
Walked along his way
Said welcome home and how long will you stay?
"As long as it takes."
