Creepy
03:11

Town drunk's angry daughter
And all her hospital friends
Are coming downstate to meet us
She wants to see me again
Creepy
Strange
Over the intercom
They announce her real name
She's got a thimble
Full of all I know
A survey of California
So Los Feliz, so Silver Lake
Creepy
Wrong
Live from the mini-mall
They announced her real name
This song is called "Creepy"
Creepy
Strange
Over the intercom
They announced her real name
"Six-six-six"
"Six-six-six"
Creepy
"Six-six-six"
"Six million ways to die"
Creepy
Wrong
Live from the mini-mall

It's Fun To Steal
03:43
|
|||
I know you're way past the obvious now
So I'm afraid to even ask
But when do you stop to consider
The events in your recent past?
I'm sure you'll find a way to bring the girl around
Then turn her world upside-down
It's fun to steal
It's fun to break a heart
But only once will I warn you this way
It's fun to steal
But the day you change your ways
You'll find out she's exactly the same
In the ladies room you're all they're talking about
Mr. Lovemaker, Heartbreaker, Number One
But it's yourself you are deceiving
And whoever's next to come
The day you trade your soul for a heart of stone
Is the greatest story never told
It's fun to steal
It's fun to fool around
But only once will I warn you this way
It's fun to steal
But ask anyone in town
You'll find out there's a price to be paid
It's fun to steal
It's fun to break a heart
But only once will I warn you this way
It's fun to steal
But the day you change your ways
You'll find out she's exactly the same
It's fun to steal
It's fun to break a heart
It's fun to steal
It's fun to break a heart
It's fun to steal

Poison Flowers
02:03
|

Who's going to wear my sandals stained with cherry soda?
(We will we will we will)
Who's going to ride my bike when I'm back in school?
Who's going to build my death ray?
Who's going to build my death ray?
And grow poison flowers
Poison flowers with me?
Who's going to steal the rowboats from the lifeguard station?
(We will we will we will)
Who'll type manifestos at my summer job?
Who's going to build my bomb?
Who's going to build my bomb?
And grow poison flowers
Poison flowers
Poison flowers
Poison flowers with me?
(Please don't leave!)

Mr. Hughes Says
02:32
|

Tell your sister and your brother
Tell the alien and the chimp
Tell the corpse and tell the killer
Tell the pilot and the blimp
Tell the wind and tell the phone
Tell the birds and tell the fly
Tell the streetlights and the car
Tell the stars and tell the sky
Mr. Hughes says, "Live and learn.
Dig and be dug in return."
Tell the boxer and the fist
Tell the logo and the lid
Tell the ladies and the lords
Tell the goats and tell the kid
Tell the stylus and the disc
Tell the dust and tell the breeze
Tell the needles and the wool
Tell the locks and tell the keys
Mr. Hughes says, "Live and learn.
Dig and be dug in return."

Imaginary Friend
03:06
|
|||
The beauty of
A felt-tip pen
The comfort found
In imaginary friends
I've been all around this crummy world
And no one will defend
The comfort found
In imaginary friends
I booked my trip
On a time machine
Going back one hour
To the previous scene
Right before you called my name
I was talking to a friend
They could not understand
So I'm explaining it all again
The beauty of
Imaginary friends
"Eric...."
I can disappear
In a Store 24
And re-emerge
Distorted and small
Back in deepest,
Darkest Massachusetts
Isolated from
The comfort found
In imaginary friends

Extra Krispy

Welcome to New York City
Krispy
You think you're leavin'
You say goodbye
You really mean it this time
Then you start dreamin'
Just one more time
It's not a real big surprise
It's like, once you get down in New York City
You'll never go home again
It's like, once you've had Extra Krispy
You'll never go back again
Your little schoolboy days are far behind
I don't know what you're trying to say
I've got to get down my way
I'm gonna rock you
Just one more time
Don't make me rock you again
I'm gonna rock you
Just one more time
Don't make me rock you again
It's like, once you get down in New York City
You'll never go home again
It's like, once you've had Extra Krispy
You'll never go back again
Oh la-la!
Train departs de la station !
Venez ici, s'il vous plait, tout les passengers
Mono Pouffe
Du bu d'or ?
Venez avec
Me
Get your kicks down in New York City (New York City)
You'll never go home again
Once you've had Extra Krispy
You'll never go back again
It's like, once you get down in New York City
You'll never go home again
It's like, once you've had Extra Krispy
You'll never go back again
Bon
On y va
Venez avec me

October 17th: Stayed inside. At 11 o'clock I see my dedicated friend through my window. He's across the street, turning the key in his front door. I sit in my chair just beyond the sunlight of the window and speak out: "There he is." He looks around, thinking, incorrectly, that he will someday discover my secret identity.
Puff!

Back Stabbing Liar
02:35
|

Hear the scream that the turning subway made
Hear the screams of the people in your way
They love you very much but they
Don't know that you're the one
Backstabbing liar
And have been all along
Backstabbing liar
Has learned to write songs
See the mirror and reflections in the light
See the fanzine and your paragraphs of lies
We got along so well that I
Could hardly tell you're the
Backstabbing liar
And everyone's wrong
Backstabbing liar
Has learned to write songs
Backstabbing liar
And everyone's wrong
Backstabbing liar
Has learned to write songs
Backstabbing liar
Says he's resigned
Backstabbing liar
Will change your mind

Hillbilly Drummer Girl
03:01
|
|||
She came down from the Ozarks
To the big city Memphis world
She's a legend and a landmark
Hillbilly drummer girl
A stomach full of whiskey
More than any man
A bar of broken tables
An empty gasoline can
A black behemoth Caddy
Sleeping bag in back
Holes right through the floorboard
A rolling chicken shack
She came down from the Ozarks
To the big city Memphis world
She's a legend and a landmark
Hillbilly drummer girl
Hillbilly drummer girl
At ten o'clock tomorrow
Playing for a crowd of six
Free beer and eight dollars
That's money for new sticks
Party 'cross the river
Ends up in the mud
Morning in the drunk tank
Coffee and dried blood
She came down from the Ozarks
To the big city Memphis world
She's a legend and a landmark
Hillbilly drummer girl
Hillbilly drummer girl
The ducks are in the lobby
And Graceland's down the road
A vacant lot, a pile of bricks
Now she's the living soul
She came down from the Ozarks
To the big city Memphis world
She's a legend and a landmark
Hillbilly drummer girl
Hillbilly drummer girl
Hillbilly drummer girl

Pretty Fly
02:09
|

Once upon a time
There was a pretty fly
He had a pretty wife
This pretty fly
But one night
She flew away
Flew away
She had (two pretty children)
But one night
These two pretty children
Flew away
Flew away
Into the sky
Into the moon
Once upon a time
There was a pretty fly
He had a pretty wife
This pretty fly
But one night
She flew away
Flew away

She left me behind
With my tearstained mind
And this monkey fur coat
That nobody wants
When she tore me in half
My neighbors would smile
'Cause that's all the fun
They'd had in awhile
And I just found out
What everybody knows
And I can't go back
To where I wanna go
I met my girlfriend's friend
Walking right down my block
She had a prosaic stare
And a prosaic cough
She would poke at my coat
And I would reply
And kick at the ground
And not look in her eyes
And I just found out
What everybody knows
And I can't go back
To where I wanna go
And I just found out
What everybody knows
And I can't go back
To where I wanna go

Night Security
02:33
|
|||
I want to know the day custodian
I want to hear his harsh refrain
But most of all
I hear the calling
Of the watchman afterhours
I want to be the night security
I want to own a tiny TV
With the sound turned down
And no one around
I'll sing so very loud
I want to be the night security
I want to sleep right in my clothes
I want to open my eyes
As people walk by
And whisper, "Who's that guy?"
My keychain is on the table
Its massive size implies
The scope of what I'm able
To unlock any time
I want to be the night security
I want to sleep right in my clothes
I want to open my eyes
As people walk by
And whisper, "Who's that guy?"
