FUELA

There you are on the floor, the drunken fool
Dreaming of the primordial froth that birthed you
You're on your back like a helpless turtle
You are spinning in the blackness, the abyss of your own self-destruction
You're about to say a phrase, you do not understand what it means
You sit up and say, 'I'm feelin' dead about FUELA'

Sun's up, rising, beat the dawn
Forehead throbbing, puke and yawn
Cranial copilot keeps yellin' at me, man
'Get on your fuckin' toes, man'
Ground keeps rolling, on we go
And it goes ahh ahh ahh
My phone keeps buzzin', ringing by my rusty badge
Same different messages, but all the same types of mad
You have reached the voicemail box of
'Pick up the phone man, I told you I can't have the cops on this one
This body stinks, man'
Message deleted
Hell is waiting out my door
And it goes ahh ahh ahh

Where's the sunshine, father?
The sky is looking brown
Sun cracks a smile, beguiling gleam
Looks misanthropic to me
Man stands down by the river
With a body that's been there for weeks
I say, 'Private eye and I'll find his killer'
But the body started to speak
I'm starting to lose my breath
The air is getting too thick
Better take this body for safety
But, fuck man, it smells like shit
Where's the sunshine, father?
Why's the sky black, mother?
What's the answer, sister?
Who's in charge, brother?

And the body croaked
Then the body rose
And the body choked
And the body spoke
Hello kind mister, come lean down next to me
You'll never find my killer, she's sharper than she seems
Deadly lips, deadly eyes, deadly shade of green
Follow down the river, you'll only find the streams
Diadem of roses round her hair, couldn't believe it
Couldn't help but stare because the leaves she wore were breathing
She climbed out of the Sun
She climbed out of the Sun
I'm feelin' dead
I'm feelin' dead
About it
You gotta find her, mister, I'll help you if you please
We'll follow the river, follow the Sun, follow the dancing leaves
Hearts like hers are hard to find, innocent and cruel
Follow blood, follow clouds, follow along the shore
If you can share her kiss, you're a better man than me
You'll maybe share her eyes but the third one's your dream
There was FUELA in her glow
There was FUELA in her glow
I'm feelin' dead
I'm feelin' dead
I'm feelin' dead
I'm feelin' dead
About it

Slack Jaw Summer
03:01
|

|
It's a slack jaw summer
Never mind the heat
I walk under a nuclear Sun
In a forest full of melted trees
I thought that Sun was laughing
As the rivers dried to streams
Castin' out my line
Only reelin' dreams
My sunken eyes were startled
As a lady rose from the haze
Called herself Anita
And here's what she had to say
'I'm sexier than Jesus
Turning water into PBR
Ain't got a cure for blindness
But there's FUELA flowin' from my heart'
My lips kissed her heart
And I started to lose my breath
The world faded in and out
Then shrunk into her head
Her grinning lips were glowing
Her candy eyes and mine, they did meet
She said, 'You'll never handle FUELA
You can barely handle me'
Mom always said, 'Don't worry
Cause the girls all think you're cute'
But as I'm getting older
Boys only find that's true
It's a slack jaw summer
Never mind the heat
I walk under a nuclear Sun
In a forest full of melted trees

Hello
Yes, I'm looking for FUELA
What
FUELA
What
Uhh, is there someone else here
What?
Uhhhhhhhhhh, never mind
Do you sell gin
Yeah
Can I get a bottle of gin
That'll be twenty eight - forty six
Uhhh, never mind

Lovely Anita

I drive all night, looking for an empty bar
Body in my backseat says,
'Neon blue at night looks better
Then the stars'
All blink off
Lights burst from the plains
That blue sign glows
The words printed on my face
Slink inside
Need a drink
Wallets sweatin' more than me
And the body didn't follow
Fuck, he's got my keys
Settle in, settle down
The air is thicker than my seat
Stale booze scent was buzzin'
But replaced with something sweet
Her eyes met mine, I know their look
Hoping this is just a dream
Blueish skies, golden halos
Sprawling pastures colored every shade of green
And sucked into a big, black shining star
I hear her laugh, I see her fly
Now she's hanging on my arm

Lovely Anita
Her cherry blossom lips reflected back into my drink
Light was pouring out her eyes
And humming from her cheeks
She said, 'Gold's my color'
I said, 'Nah girl, you got em all
Every shade and drop of rainbow
Plus colors that I can't even see at all'
The other women hit the road in packs
So we left the bar, found her car
Hopped into the back
Brain twisting, brain teasing
Brain bleeding, oh god
Quick prayer to the all-father
As she shimmies on my-
She found my hair, she found my wrists
She found my neck, she found my lips
I would've found her too
But I was buried in her hips
She stole my breath and heart
And any piece that she could find
We drove away into the sunrise
She finally got my mind

Don't Trust the Dead
02:34

I heard a bed frame creaking loudly
As I woke from my drunken sleep
Well that body was sittin' in the kitchen
A man come down the stairs in my sheets
And I cried out, 'Intruder!'
He said, 'Chill man, it's 9AM'
I said, 'Who are you, where's Anita?'
He said, 'My name is Rex, and she's in bed'
Then Anita, come down the stair, and I ask her
'What's going on?'
She called me a coward and a creep
And I said, 'What about FUELA, the love, the leaves?'
She said I got, 'shit for brains, you're not for me'
And I cursed that God danged body
Who told me hearts like hers were hard to find
I said, 'I ought to rip those lips from your head'
He said, 'Trust no man, alive or dead'

Dreams of Drywall
03:34
|
|||
|
My mind is fuzzy and my feet are cold
Don't know if I feel young or old
My brain is melting out of every hole
I'm getting sick of the show
Takes two to tango, I prefer the twist
Heart-shaped hands at the ends of my wrists
Maybe I'd have money if I used my hips
Or found some shoes that fit
I heard a knock at my door
Tremors all through the floor
The news read it was World War three
My sticky eyes were glued to the screen
But I got bored and fell asleep
I'd rather be in my dreams
Four walls, they all bone white
Could be beige in a certain light
I dream of drywall every night
I guess I call that life
I guess I call that life
Ooh, yes, I call that life

Drivin' in my car
Ridin' down the freeway
Feelin'
KINDA HIGH
Caw
Get the hell outta my way
Pedal to the metal
Push it to the limit
Pedal to the metal
And I fly away
