Load up on guns, bring your friends

It's fun to lose, and to pretend

She's over bored, and self assured

I know I know, A dirty word

hello, hello, hello, hello. . .hello, hello, hello, hello,

hello, hello, hello, hello. . .hello, hello, hello, hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us.

A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido, Yea!

I'm worse at what I do best,

and for this gift I feel blessed.

I met a group that's always been

And always will until the end.

And I forget, just why i taste

Oh yes I guess it makes me smile

I found it hard. . .Its hard to find

Oh well, whatever, nevermind

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Care if I'm old

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

If I don't have a mind

Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away

Way from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Of a ghost

Even if you have

Even if you need

I don't mean to stare

We don't have to breed

We could plant a house

We could build a tree

I don't even care

We could have all three

they're in my head. . .

I'm so ugly but that's ok, 'cause so are you, we've broke our mirrors

Sunday morning is everyday for all I care and I'm not scared

Light my candles in a daze 'cause I've found god

I'm so lonely and that's ok, I shaved my head, and I'm not sad

And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard, and I'm not sure

I'm so excited I can't wait to meet you there, and I dont' care

I'm so horny but that's ok, my will is good

I think I should get off her first

I think she wants some water

To put out the blow torch

It isn't me

We have some seed

Let me clip

Your dirty wings

Let me take a ride

Don't hurt yourself

I want some help

To please myself

I've got some rope

You have been told

I promise you

I've been true

Let me take a ride

Don't hurt yourself

I want some help

To please myself

Polly wants a cracker

Maybe she would like more food

She asks me to untie her

A chase would be nice for a few

Polly says her back hurts

And she's just as bored as me

She caught me off my guard

It amazes me, the will of instinct

Territorial Pissings

(E bar chords on frets 5, 13 and 10)

A5 F5 D5 A5 F5 D5

When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions.

A5 F5 D5

Gotta find a way, to find a way, I'd better wait.

Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

Drain You

A C# F# B A C# F# B

One baby to another said I'm lucky to have met you...

I don't care what you think unless it is about me

It is now my responsibility to completely drain you

A travel through a tube and end up in your infection

D B

Chew your meat for you

pass it back and forth

In a passionate kiss,

from my mouth to yours

A5 G5 F#5

because I like you.

With eyes so dialted I've become your pupil

You've taught me everything with a poison apple

The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student

Indebted and so grateful. Vacuum out the fluids.

B

You're my vitamins

A5 G5 F#sus4 F#5

because I like you

Lounge Act

Truth covered in security

I can't let you smother me

I'd like to but it wouldn't work

Trading off and taking turns

I don't regret a thing

I've got this friend, you see

Who makes me feel

And I wanted more

Than I could steal

I'll arrest myself

And wear a shield

I'll go out of my way

To prove I still

Smell her on you

Don't, tell me what I wanna hear

Afraid of never knowning fear

Experience anything yoy need

I'll keep fighting jealousy

Until it's fucking gone

I've got this friend, you see

Who makes me feel

And I wanted more

Than I could steal

I'll arrest myself

And wear a shield

I'll go out of my way

To prove I still

Smell her on you

Truth covered in security

I can't let you smother me

I'd like to but it wouldn't work

Trading off and taking turns

I don't regret a thing

I've got this friend, you see

Who makes me feel

And I wanted more

Than I could steal

I'll arrest myself

And wear a shield

I'll go out of my way

To make you a deal

We've make a pact

To learn from who

Ever we want

Without new rules

We'll share what's lost and what we grew

They'll go out of their way

To prove they still

Smell her on you

They still, smell her on you

Smell her on you

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Stay Away

Monkey See, monkey do

I'd rather be deal than cool

Every line ends in rhyme

Less is more, love is blind

Stay, stay away

Give an inch, take a smile

Fashion shits, fashion stile

Throw it out and keep it in

Have to have poison skin

I don't know why

I don't know why

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On A Plain

I'll start this off

Without any words

I got so high that

I scratched 'til I bled

Love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

The finest day

That I ever had

Was when I learned

To cry on command

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

My mother died

Every night

It's safe to say

Don't quote me on that

The black sheep got

Blackmailed again

Forgot to put

On the zip code

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my memory has stored

As defense I'm neutered and spayed

What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time

To make it unclear

To write off lines

That don't make a sense

One more special

Message to go

And then I'm done

And I can go home

Underneath the bridge

The tarp has sprung a leak

And the animals I've trapped

Have all become my pets

And I'm living off of grass

And the drippings from the ceiling

But it's ok to eat fish

Cause they haven't any feelings
