SOUL
DOUBT
Sometimes I feel my life
is going 'round in circles
Beneath my eyes are bluish
black
There's nothing new, no
one I wanna talk to
Nothing I wanna think about,
I got soul doubt
I stick My head out of the
window, it's closed
Instead of air, I get glass
stuck in to my head
The city's sounding, and
I can't seem to stop the pounding
Can't keep my thoughts from
flying 'round
Not sure what I am thinking
about, I got soul doubt
A shameless display, wearing
a smile full of pain
A frameless Erte, a painting
without a signature
She's waiting for someone
to save her
As I pass her I see Cinderella
She doesn't fit into the
slipper
Like she fits in a bottle
of liquor
There's no one to take her
away
Her eyes meet mine, she
sees right through me
The question is asked, Whatcha'
gonna do for me?
I don't want nothin', just
a connection
I gotta know what she's
all about
Cause I know she's been
there ...
Soul doubt
I stick my head out of the
window once again
This time I see a thousand
faces all too clear
They wear the same expression,
I've seen in my face
So many times, I know exactly
how they feel
I know exactly how they
feel
I know just what they think
about
They've got soul doubt

STICKING
IN MY EYE
When I look 'round, I only
see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my
head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I
can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things
that
I got something sticking
in my eye
Got something sticking in
my eye
Got something sticking in
my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay,
God help me
Kill beneath the camera,
watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes
from
What's been sticking in
my eye
Got something sticking in
my eye

BOB
He spent fifteen years getting
loaded
Fifteen years 'till his
liver exploded
Now what's Bob gonna do
now that he can't drink?
The Doctor said, "What were
you thinkin' 'bout?"
Bob said, "That's just the
point,
I wasn't thinkin' 'bout
nothing
Now I gotta do something
else to pass the time."
Had someone shave his head
Got a new identity
Sixty-two holed air cushioned
boots
And a girl who rides a scooter
to take him out of town
They would get away
Riding around, as the trucks
drive by
You could here the mother
fuckers go...
A couple of lines, an extra
thermos of Joe
He'll be kickin' in heads
at the punk rock show, yeah
Bob's the kinda guy who
knows just what
Bob's the kinda guy who
knows just what to do
When the doctor tells him
to
"Quit your drinkin', now's
the time."
Will he ever walk the line
To all my friends, I feel
just fine
But will he ever walk the
line
Kickin' ass and bustin'
heads
Red suspenders
Once a day he shaves his
head
But will he ever walk the
line?

YOU'RE
BLEEDING
You've got the beauty, but
that don't mean a thing
A bland reciprocation, but
that don't bother me
You're happier with lights
on underneath a darkened sky
Only in the spotlight can
you tell me of your crimes
I understand the situation,
but I can't
Seem to understand the motivations
you once had
I recall a message I once
left behind a screen
I was entranced, when you
were never there for me
You're draining, you're draining
me, I'm not a tub
What ever happened to the
girl I used to hold?
I held in such a high regard
Where is the girl who had
it all?
I used to think I wasn't
worthy of your cause
I used to feel so lucky
Until the day I felt a weakness
in my arms
I knew from where it had
been coming
You're bleeding, you're bleeding
me, I can recall
The passions you once had,
where did they go?
I knew a girl who had it
all.
I knew a girl where did
she go?
back
STRAIGHT
EDGE
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things
to do
Than sit around and fuck
my head
Or hang out with the living
dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Or passing out in all the
shows
Cause I got straight edge
I laugh at the thoughts of
dropping loose
I laugh at the thoughts
of sniffing glue
Cause I got straight edge
I got straight edge

LIZA
AND LOUISE
Liza's had enough of men
She says, she won't get
burnt again
She says, they don't know
how to fuck
Her last boyfriend, the
shmuck
Shared with her a nice disease
Kept her passive, on her
knees
'Til one day she took his
car
And drove it to the city
Liza had put down a few
When she met this girl named
Lou
Who convinced her to go
home with her
She said, "My name's Louise
Now will you take off my
clothes please?
I want to take you to the
moon and back
So get on your back."
With a flick of the tongue
She made her scream
She made her laugh
She made her dance
She was happy for the first
time
And you know she wanted
more
Now with her legs spread
wider
She needed to have Louise
inside her
She said, "I'll never forget
the first time
You kissed me, now I want
you to fist me."
Louise didn't need a second
invitation
She knew just what to do
Liza had cum a few times
before
But she had never even seen
the door
Into the world of pleasures
of the flesh
She felt just like 16
And her life before now
was a dream
Or even a nightmare that's
over and done
Just like warm healing rays
Shining from the sun
They make her beam
They make her laugh
They make her dance
She was happy for the first
time
And you know she wanted
more
back
THE
BAG
Endless evenings of non-exist
Are getting shorter, monotonous
Like an intruder, I belong
outside
Although I find myself right
back
The same place I was before
Saying things I'd say once
more
There's no reason for me
to be here, no
I feel so lonesome, surrounded
by friends
Who are talking at me,
saying things I could care
less about
This dialogue is without
Worth, content, significance
Conversational ambivalence
Hear the same things every
night, it just ain't right
Who'll be left holding the
bag?
Give me something I can't
sink my teeth into
Show me a time, tell me
a story
I haven't heard a million
times before
I pass out from boredom
As I watch the people pass
I see moments in their lives,
nothing fascinating
Are we all living for the
past, never realizing
We're clinging to an empty
bag
Lacking content, significance
Conversational ambivalence
Hear the same things every
night, it just ain't right
We'll see who's left holding
the bag
back
PLEASE
PLAY THIS SONG ON THE RADIO
We wrote this song, it's
not too short, not too long
It's got back-up voc's in
just the right places
It's got a few oohs and
ahhs
It takes a little pause
Just before I sing the anthem
Please play this song on
the radio
Almost every line is sung
on time
Almost every verse ends
in a rhyme
The only problem we had
was writing enough words
But that's okay, because
the chorus is
Coming up again now
Please play this song on
the radio
Please play this song on
the radio
Right about this time
Some shithead will be drawin
a fat fucking line
Over the title on the back
sleeve, what an asshole
So mr. DJ, i hope you already
made your segway
Or the FCC is gonna take
a shit right on your head
Can't play this song on
the radio
back
WARM
One more time for Ho Jo,
you know I can't wait
Another wasted line
I'm sittin' in the corner,
I can feel the weight
Of my head on top of my
spine
There's nothing to be scared
of once you've
Seen the the light, reflecting
through the screen
A eudaemonistic life composed
of tar and nicotine
You know it, You know it,
You know it
'Cause you've seen it, now
you believe it
You know it because it seems
so real
You know it because you've
seen it, now you believe it
You know it because it seems
so real
It seems so real, It seems
so real, It seems so real
Sit back and relax and do
nothin',na,na,na,na
You'll laugh, then you'll
cry, then you'll feel nothin',na,na,na,na
Implanted images of morality
Images of life, they seem
so real
One more time for Ho Jo,
what does it mean?
I'm not sure I know, while
looking for somebody
Deep inside a dream, my
sunshine turns to snow
Now it's blowin' inside,
I don't feel the cold
Yet I'm frozen to my seat
My eyes have seen the truth
And still my mind admits
defeat
back
I
WANNA BE YOUR BABY
Open your self, let me inside
Open your arms, I have nowhere
To go, so let me in to you
I need to be where nothing
can hurt me
Open your legs, to let me
crawl
Inside of you, I need to
be
Inside your womb, So take
me home
Inside of you, envelope
me, I'm home
I wanna be your baby
Bringin' me down
Bringin' me down
Open your lips and take me
in
I need to be inside within
Let me become a part of
you
Let me inside of you, swallow
me whole
I want to know the things
you hide
I want to feel the things
you feel
I want to breathe the air
you breathe
I want to live inside of
you, take me
Bringin' me down
I wanna be your baby
Let me live inside

SHE'S
GONE
A blackened wick is what
remains
The flame was blown out
just recently
Although the candle hadn't
burned down to the stick
It won't be lit again, the
day won't be so bright
We don't know what she may
have been
All we know is what she
left behind
An apartment cluttered with
children's toys,
Photos of good times
In the bedroom, there's
sheets on the windows
There's a four poster bed
for a reason
There's a box on the floor
full of secrets
It won't be opened
Here older boys and girls
would play
All inhibitions were left
behind
As the door would close,
her face began to shine
This was her finest hour,
this was her finest time
Now, she's gone, and it's
not gonna be alright, not for me
She's gone, but not forgotten,
she's still here
In all those years she touched
so many lives
Who's gonna watch the little
girl she left behind?
Carol Anne stands alone
in the school yard
All the other children have
gone
After waiting for hours,
She can't understand why
her mother left her sad
In the darkness she sees
definition
In the silence, she hears
someone calling
After nightmares, she lies
in bed screaming
But there's no reaction
There's no one listening,
there's no one
Now, she's gone, and it's
never gonna be alright, not for me,
She's gone

Was the most beautiful gal

And woke up with Bo Diddley?

And buggley eyes

And woke up with Bo Diddley?
