Dom's Back Party
03:18
|
|||
Occurrence at the Owl Creek Delicatessen
Beef tips burgundy
Black cherry wash-down session
I did my stint in old Swan Marcos
Still swim like a TV dog
Or a herpes-playing piano player
In that ragtime grog
Dom's back
Prepare the whipping cream
Back to party with
The Atlantic queens
Dune dune dune
Crucible juggler with the double-edged rapier
If you pop a balloon at the Dom's Back Party
You'll catch a pneumonia
Recycle contempt for your paycheck tramp
I'd bet you the moon
If you value cracked satellites
Give you genome gloom
Dom's back
Prepare the whipping cream
Back to party with
The Atlantic queens
Dune dune dune

Break Your Fuckin Balls
02:37
|
|||
Your shoe kicked Sunday chores
Six-pack snores
Think my time is yours?
Showering with my crew
In my suit
They take a bath with you
Rub-a-dub my spleen
Salmonella in my coffee pot
Your coddled laxity
Brought this on
Now I'm throwin up
Break your fuckin balls
Break your balls
Break your fuckin balls
Gimlet-eyed and cross
Such a boss
A crunchy slug of first frosts
Toiled for your mom
Heard her yarns
Of the banes and balms
I guess your squealing nuts
Sang their last
A cankered end zone Icky dance
A filthy rag in your mouth
It's time to cheer this ballsy rout!
Break your fuckin balls
Break your balls
Break your fuckin balls
Your shoe kicked Sunday chores
Six-pack snores
Think my time is yours?
Showering with my crew?
In my suit
They take a bath with you
I'll never make it out
With a lout like you to move around
Rent-a-tux with Luke
Fuck you too
You drizzle piss runt stumpy fool!
Break your fuckin balls
Break your balls
Break your fuckin balls
Break your fuckin balls
How I annihilate your fuckin balls
Where's your fuckin balls?
He wants to know so's he can break 'em
Break your fuckin balls
Break your balls
Break your fuckin balls
What the fuck is this?

Esau And His Lentils
04:19
|
|||
Almost skinny as a corkscrew
Your vacation's just some cornmeal
That's collected in your bag
Getting checkered for the evening
Ducking phone booths without doors
Waiting are the jockeys from the slipper school of rogues
Your face is just some wafer
You're a waif always in transit
Citing sallow gallows men
Do not accept the Lotto bubble promise for the paradise
Strip the fur off the frequent praying plan
And when you sell your birthright
Just like Esau for his lentils
You will satisfy the hunger
You will sacrifice the better life to come
Bonapartists out of their time
Approach the Danish swizzle stick of
Some stirring girls in heat
In the Atlantic states they wait to greet the watery warriors
And get rescued from the scourge
They of clean chin wonder
What's become of the Americans
Thickening to empire
Tough to chew
Carnival litter hunted by the wind that came to pass
These amusements will soon outdo
And when you sell your birthright
Just like Esau for his lentils
You will satisfy the hunger
You will sacrifice the better life to come
All of the conveniences the stevedores are handling
For a bob
For a quid
Let the pamphleteers return
And announce us out of gloom
And announce us out of gloom
And announce us out of gloom
And when you sell your birthright
Just like Esau for his lentils
You will satisfy the hunger
You will sacrifice the better life to come

Autumn Punkfest
02:56
|
|||
Four children pass me on the sidewalk
One witch, two mummies, and a ghost
The crisp North wind blows autumn leaves
That crunch like bones into cider air
Jack o'Lanterns grin from every porch
And as the sun sinks low and shadows grow
Hidden candles set them all aglow
Stars above and below the dark, bare trees
There is something tonight I want to show you
More elemental than the cool, hard air
More enticing than the fire in the pumpkin's eye
More alive than the children playing trick or treat
There's a festival running deep in the woods
Follow me to where the oldest children play
The colors of the leaves reflected in their hair
Swirling forest rainbows in a leather dream
Autumn Punkfest

Hump The Banker
02:30
|
|||
Piece of butterfly shrimp on my mind
Selling mad bonds
Will mature in time
Working like a duck's ass
Here at the bank
Overweight teller
With the dry straw hands
Ducking the cameras
And licking my pen
Inking my stamp pad
And wondering when
Piece of butterfly shrimp on my mind
Selling mad bonds
Will mature in time
I'm here to count money
Not to make you laugh
Deposit slip destroyer
With the Cititramp wrath
I'm hung over on Thursdays
So have your shit filled
And watch me while
I cobble together some bills
Piece of butterfly shrimp on my mind
Selling mad bonds
Will mature in time
I can break Kesha Roberts' pencils
Swipe the moisture sponge from Tommy the Gentile
Play with my big black Indian penis
Count the rich minds working for peanuts
Piece of butterfly shrimp on my mind
Selling mad bonds
Will mature in time
Working like a duck's ass
Here at the bank
Overweight teller
With the dry straw hands
Ducking the cameras
And licking my pen
Inking my stamp pad
And wondering when
Piece of butterfly shrimp on my mind
Selling mad bonds
Will mature in time.

House Of Wax
03:47
|

Here's looking at you, son
A part of the half, a sum of the whole
Where two and two make one
We all stand still in catatonic love
House of wax, mold your ego
I bring all the bodies there
They all stare, but no one cares
House of wax, mold you ego
The matter of mind, the matter of facts
The main attraction in the house of wax
Here's looking at you, son
A part of the half, a sum of the whole
Where two and two make one
We all stand still in catatonic love
In a world where nobody mocks me
The wax opus fulfilled my fix
But I won't come 'til I know
That I'm all alone, blinking in bliss
Here's looking at you, son
A part of the half, a sum of the whole
Where two and two make one
We all stand still in catatonic love
The matter of mind, the matter of facts
The main attraction in the house of wax
Here's looking at you, son

Clouds
02:09
|
|||
I knew who I was at the time
I kept is hushed like a crime
When it rains, I'm all wet
It helps to grow the Chia Pet
Clouds
Some are high
Some are low
Some are black
Some are gray
That's what they say
GO
It's getting hard, so hard to see
Nature Boy has got the fleas
The sky is dark, it isn't shining
The bastards took the silver lining
Clouds
Some are high
Some are low
Some are black
Some are gray
That's what they told me

Mall

|

Going to the mall
Gonna buy some stuff
Gonna stare at 14-year-old girls
Going to the mall
Everybody's there
It's big and bright, new and improved
Got to do some Christmas shopping
There's a birthday coming up
Mother's Day's right around the corner
Oh, shit, mom's here too.
Window grazing, room to roam
Yeah, going to the mall beats going home
Window grazing, room to roam
Yeah, going to the mall beats going home
Feel the power, it's power shopping
It's quality time with our friend, the mall.
Fat JAP Gap chicks
On parade
Look out, stampede at J.C. Penney, baby
Red tags flying
One-day sale
And I think I need one of those
I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those
Window grazing, room to roam
Yeah, going to the mall is going home
Window grazing, room to roam
Yeah, going to the mall is going home
And I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those
And I think I need one of those.

Buffalo Head
03:21
|
|||
Do you really like my hair?
Can you wear my underwear?
Do you think I could spit in your eye?
Could I step on an ant with my red green lime shoe boots?
I like your hair the way you like it
And gold boots make me snap like a bear
The lights in here are quite dark
Unless you think about old people from the old town
I like who you are and we are
Carrots!
Okay
I say
What makes me all happy?
FLOWERS!
Yee-haw, Jed's cowboy hat
Do you really like my penis?
[Jed: Rhyme something with THAT!]
You sure said nothing about Venus.
I think you're really groovy
Think we should buy fish tonight for dinner?
[Jed: No, let's watch a movie.]
I like headphones
Bologna sure tastes good with white bread
Would you please step on my anthill?
Because my grandmother would appreciate it.
Okay
I say
What makes me so happy?
FLOWERS!
SPROCKETS!
Do you really like my vagina?
I just got it put in.
And the doctor said it would cost an arm and a leg
But I don't have an arm and a leg.
I have a... VAGINA!
Okay
I say
What makes me so bassy?
VAGINA!
Lubrication smells good
On a goat or a sheep
Okay
I say
What makes me so happy?
Everybody:
VAGINA!
Okay
I say
What makes me so happy?
Ice cream with cherries!
Okay
I say
What makes me so happy?
I like cherrywood!
Okay
I say
What makes me so happy?
Long-haired women with beards!
Thank you, everyone.
This has been a Skyscape documentary.
We know where you sleep, so look out for my tongue.

Statement Of Intent
01:18

We're not here to change the world
Causes make us wanna hurl
We just wanna hang around and play the same three chords all day
We're not political like REM
We've got no message, no master plan
We're just a rock and roll band with nothing much to say
We just wanna have some fun
Make good times for everyone
You can think if you want, but if you don't it's still okay
It ain't too shallow or too profound
The meaning of the meaning is in the sound
Of the rock and roll band with nothing much to say
Take it Robby!
