Teeth of the Mountain
03:40
|

decapitate the strangers eye
the flesh and bones are just disguises
teeth of the mountain
teeth of the witch
my circuits all malfunctioning
while semen smells adsorb the protein
teeth of the mountain
teeth of the witch
I gotta one way flight and the seasons aright
i'm going up three times i'm only coming down twice
in the sunlight
of my worst mind
there was nothing
that I could find
I attack the messengers of love
my head set to self destruct
teeth of the mountain
teeth of the witch
the sick and old have long gone rotten
Id use my words but I forgot them
teeth of the mountain
teeth of the witch

Chemicals Gon' Bad
03:14

microscopic stain
not showered shaved or well behaved
apathetic yawn
so sorry if I’m not much fun
you know I have my doubts
my fragile brain will burn this out
straight down in hell
I sit around and circulate my blood cells
there’s no connection
just this loss of affection
dragging me down
oh but I ain’t sad
chemicals gone bad
oh and I ain’t mad
chemicals gone bad
it’s nothing to get hung about
purple syrup high
wake to find her in a tongue tie
pluck her like a plumb
celebrate the art of living dumb
she’s my soul extractor
dry sockets gonna split me in two
now I miss that simple sound
of no one, no one else around

Ruby Red Summer
04:48
|

laminated
little spending machines
looks like they made it
they’re the upper deck pets of the king and queen now
animated
on the silver screen
lookin’ faded
it’s the cat scan man selling slightly used guillotines
I woke up to find, that dusty dream was dead
I looked outside, the streets were stained in red
guess they all lost their heads...
now it’s a ruby red summer,
a ruby red summer,
dead beneath the covers,
man it’s such a bummer
beating up your brothers,
stealing from your mothers,
ruby red summer,
yeah it’s such a bummer now

Dogs Eat Grass
02:20
|
|||
so we crawl up the stairs
secrets safer way up here
little birds beneath the trees, borrowing their babies in my brain
dogs eat grass might melt away old memories
cut up kid cartoons, fill my mouth with magazines
only lies and dead fruit flies, break my teeth so gently as they leave
so swallow up the rain, somethings sinister is waiting for me
it’s hard to explain, hardly recognize a friend from an enemy
the world bursting endlessly away, from me

Highway
02:13
|
|||
car in motion, car in motion
take my body, to the ocean
i’ve been stranded
empty handed
and I won’t be late, I won’t be late
set my watch right, for the big day
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been patient
and she's got a hopeless club
she's gonna break them all
oh no, not me
watch me leave in the rays of the sun
windows down it wont matter
watch me leave in the rays of the sun
in a highway goodbye

She Arrived
05:41
|
|||
up above, the bones and warm debris
in my tree, thats where she found me
she said "come off it man and that ain’t no way to be
come down back to the ground and join the jamboree”
we sat and watched the people
scurry down the lanes
lost in their little worlds
just waiting for the day
that the mother sun will take em all away
was it love? was it just the season?
she snuck inside and gave me all my reasons
she said that feeling dead’s no way to live your life
come down back to the ground hey follow me outside
out in the garden where the light can find our eyes
among the flower trees with pedals pink & white
twisting the tiger’s teeth until they do decay
we sit here waiting for the day
that the mother sun will take us all away
yeah she loves us all much more than words can say

No Replacement
04:29
|
|||
sit down in the snow
everyone is hallow
from the red wood forest
to the gulf stream F.L.O.
oranges are dripping down the plateau
and it really seems we've been here for awhile
my thoughts are more repetitive than Andy's
my vomit smells like newborn' cotton candy
and its only a speculation
that you love me
no replacement
thought I heard you talk to me
from the car radio
turn the tv up to creepy
paranoia should be sleeping

Candy Eyes
03:53
|
|||
swim always used to play the part
at the circus strung her strings too sharp
and watched, her fingers, fly, away
when i kissed her i was surprised to find
some subtle sister with a split skull mind
and candy eyes
stop living in your lies
come outside candy eyes
swim I’m sorry i’ve been so stoned and hallow
shotguns and cigarettes it seem a lot to swallow
while i’m, fibbing i’m feeling fine, and alright
you motor all around in your boots of love
swim I think I know who your really thinking of
candy eyes
stop living in your lies
come outside candy eyes

Lazy
03:58
|

yeah I'm lazy
yeah I run my mouth
change the conversation
its just going round and round
there's not approximation
for when your karma's coming down
and darling, we gotta
take some time for ourselves
and maybe, we can come back
stronger and in good health
it's complicated
it's so simple actually
gotta get my head straight
gotta find me some relief
cause when we got together
it happened naturally
and darling, we gotta
take some time for ourselves
and maybe, we can come back
stronger and in good health

Maximum Ernst
04:17

johnny come lately, fresh from the golf course
a mean man tried to stick me in a capsule
trying to slice an apple on the freeway
you went your way I went down swinging
isn't it nice?
taking the long way home
stare at the wall
wish I could walk right out my skull
cut my feet on multi-color eggshells
down where the band sells merchandise from the van
I don't quite understand all supply no demand
i'm not jaded I just know were gonna make it
isn't it nice?
taking the long way home
stare at the wall
wish I could walk right out my skull
its such a lonely curse
everyone around gets hurt
and it might get worse
forever stuck in maximum ernst
