OUT THERE (fast quiet sad jazzy) Forestville CA 17 Feb 2000
We just walked OUT the door; We walked to the CORner
We just got ON the bus; We rode to the CLInic
There they PUMPED you out; There they PUMPED you out
They kicked you OUT right away; They took your NUMber
--
We just got aNOTHer bag; We got a SUPply
Enough to get THROUGH the week; Enough to GET by
Here we TRY to live; Here we TRY to live
We make it DAY to day; I think I KNOW why
--
[instrumental]
--
We just walked OUT the door; We walked DOWN the street
You fell over IN a doorway; And you stopped BREAthing
I just STOOD and cried; I just STOOD and cried
DON'T BELIEVE (funky slow blues) Forestville CA 19-20 Feb 2000
They're looking down yer windpipe / They're looking in yer eyes
They're telling ya yer healing / They'll tell ya many lies
They'll tell ya many lies / They'll tell ya many lies

They're sectioning yer cerebrum / X-raying yer nasty soul
They tell ya yer non compos / They won't say if yer whole
They won't say if yer whole / They won't say if yer whole

Don't believe what they say, what they say, what they say
Don't flip an' flap in you've got another choice today

Don't chop an' flop while they shrink and slink to the brink

I'M HERE TO... (Inner Squid) (bouncy pop) California Hwy 12 19 Feb 2000
I'm here to celebrate my sexuality
It's always been a mystery to me
I wonder what kind of guy to be?
Human, alien, or chimpanzee?
Da da dum, da da, doo doo doo, dee
--
[chorus]
Gettin' in touch with my inner squid
Gettin' in touch with my inner squid
--
I'm here to explore my psychology
It's always been a puzzle to me
How should I adjust my psychology?
Cold or hot, emotive or robotic?
Dum da da, dum dum, doo doo doo, dot [chorus]
--
I'm here to honor my complexity
It's always been a bother to me
How to reach genetic heterogeneity?
Gene-splicing, cloning, atomic mutation?
Dar dee dar, da dee, doo doo doo, dum [chorus]
--
I'm here to probe my perversity
It's always been rather troubling to me
I wonder what kind of fucker to be?
Sadistic, masochistic, celibate, straight?
Dum da da, dum dum, doo doo doo, dit [chorus]
(We're So) CLOSE (basic rock) Volcano, Calif. 20 Feb 2000
You played with my mind / You played with my hair
You played with my pocket / We're so close
We're so close / We're so close
--
Let's swap passwords / Let's swap bookmarks / Let's swap fluids
We're so close / We're so close / We're so close
--
[break] Wired... tired... hired... fired... mired...
--
You're so unbalanced / You're so impractical / You're so sexy
We're so close / We're so close / We're so close
--
I'm just paralyzed / I'm just anodized / I'm so shiny
We're so close / We're so close / We're so close
CHAMALEON (slow fantasia) Volcano, Calif. 20 Feb 2000
It's not your love I fear, on rocky coasts
Foggy mornings like most, before the storm
Kiss me quick, chamaleon
--
It's not you fear I hate, on solitary moonscapes
Scraping the iridium sky, eaten by worms
Kiss me hard, chamaleon
--
It's not your hate I smell, lost in tranquil sloth
A flame for a moth, thirsting for the real
Kiss me lost, chamaleon
--
[lazy] Is it blue? Is it cold? Does it smother the old?
--
It's not your smell I love, Unpredictable and salty
A froth so red, so so right, lost beyond the seawall
Kiss me dead, chamaleon
--
[lazy] Is it hard? Is it cold? Does it strike the waves?
CAPITAL GAINS (moderate punk) Forestville Calif. 21 Feb 2000
Gotta protect our capital gains
Let's buy an oil company / We can hire us an army
To kill all the troublemakers / Where we're gonna drill
Like we did in Nigeria, Indonesia, Peru...
--
Gotta protect our capital gains
Let's buy an oil company / We can hire some dictators
To run things and hope / That they don't turn on us
Like they did in Iraq, Iran, Libya...
--
Gotta protect our capital gains
Let's buy an oil company / We can stifle competition
Buying politicians and bankers and media flacks
Like we did all over the US and Europe...
--
Gotta protect our capital gains
Let's buy an oil company / We can screw the environment
With greenhouse emissions, increase global warming
Make the Earth ready for Reptilioid aliens...
--
Gotta protect our capital gains
Let's buy an oil company / It's the short road to wealth
Beats the shit out of working for a living
Once we've protected our investments...
TIME'S END (slow dance) Peltier Bridge, Calif. 24 Mar 2000
We LOVE all that we are
We ARE all that we love
The brutal and the sentimental [kiss me]
The stark and the ornate [decorate me]
The ascetic and the sensual [touch me]
The wild and the refined [civilize me]
The obscene and the mystical [love me]
The demonic and the devout [worship me]
Time's end, time's end, time's end
--
Fountain of life, fountain of love
Fountain of piss, fountain of gold
Honey and wine flowing with blood and sperm
The juice that keeps us from flowing away
And in the sun, a shadow; and in the moon, a fire
The drums beat and beat and beat and beat
We hold each other and slowly rot
I'll forget you, or maybe not
Time's end, time's end, time's end
NO COWS has moved here
A BOX (free-form) Forestville CA 20 Apr 2000
There's a box in the corner / I crawled in some time ago / When no one was looking
It's a very nice box / It's got a little window / For watching the stars
I'm safe in the box / Well, pretty safe, anyway / Unless someone kicks it
It's fun in the box / I can play with myself / For as long as I want
It's warm in the box / It's like a big nest / Although a bit smelly
--
Don't need to come out of the box
Don't want to come out of the box
--
There's a box that I live in / I call it home / I call it reality
It's got a wire, and water, and food / What else do I need? / What else, what else?
Someone opened a door / The wind's blowing thru / I can almost smell springtime
--
I'm very complete in my box, in my box
I'm very complete in my box
I TRIED NOT TO THINK OF YOU Forestville CA 20 Apr 2000
(the verse is E-A-D-A-E)
--
I woke up in a strange mood / I shaved my head, it didn't do any good
I looked out the window / it was rainin' all around
I kissed the dog and I took a walk / Water pourin' down
all over me'n'I didn't even notice
I turned on the radio / but didn't hear a sound
I tried not to think of you / I tried not to think of you / I tried
not to think of you at all
--
A bus went by, real close / it almost hit me but I didn't notice
I didn't think about your legs / I didn't think about your knees
The cable bill came but I didn't pay it / who wants to watch that crap anyway?
I got a dissonance that / ate all my experience
I tried hard not to think of you / I tried hard not to think of you / I tried,
I tried, I tried, I tried
--
(the break is G#m-F#m-E - I'll think of the words tomorrow)
WINNIPEG (folksy) Forestville CA 21 Apr 2000
I got nothin' good to say about Winnipeg
So I won't say it (say it)
I got nothin' good to say about Winnipeg
Well maybe just a little
It ain't too dirty, but it ain't too dusty
An' there ain't too many cactus there
--
I hardly remember anything about Winnipeg
It's been a long, long time
But why anybody'd want to go to Winnipeg
I just don't know (don't know)
It's got a beltway, it's got a glacier
It's got Abominable Snowmen around
--
In Juvenile Hall in Winnipeg
They try to fed ya fried liver
And Indian kids teach ya dirty words
About how to stuff the quiver
They don't treat ya bad in Winnipeg
But Taco Bell doesn't deliver
--
[instrumental couplet]
I got nothin' good to say about Winnipeg,
So ta hell with it... eh?
ELIAN THE ALIEN (salsa) Forestville CA 24 Apr 2000
O Elian the alien / is not Episcopalian
I'm thinking of the dolphins / that Jehovah sent for him
O Elian the alien / was is Cuban, not Westphalian
But he dictates like a Fuehrer / when the camera's aimed at him
--
[cho:] Elian, o Elian, ah Elian...
--
O Elian, the little boy / is just a political toy
His cousin dips her hands in Joy / and scrubs her tears away
O Elian, you're only six / have you been ruined by capitalists?
Is chocolate ice cream more important / than your father's love?
--
[cho & inst]
--
O Elian, Miami burns / your mother churns within her urn
Your uncle takes another turn / as the spotlight slips away
AREA 51, WHERE ARE YOU? Rachel, Nevada 4 May 2000
I went to see the aliens / they put on a show for the aliens
They turned on lights for the aliens / but no aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
There're people dressed like aliens / pretending to be aliens
There's lights shining up in the sky / but no aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
They timed this for the planets / The planets're in alignment
The planets line up every 20 years or so / no aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
I went to walk with an alien / I went to talk with an alien
I went to fock with an alien / but no fockin' aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
The wind is blowing fiercely / I think about your breasts
I think about the aliens / but no aliens with breasts arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
I went to war with the aliens / I trained hard for the aliens
I shouted, "Hey Aliens! Come over here!" / but no aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
--
The winds are blowing harder / The lights are flashing faster
The black helicopters are all around / but no aliens arrived
Area 51, where are you?
MANY WORLDS! (techno) Forestville CA 20 Jun 2000
We all live in many worlds, many worlds!
Every choice makes another world, another world!
Time's just a fragment of supertime, supertime!
Space's just a fragment of superspace, superspace!
-
We all live in many worlds, many worlds!
I'm just a fragment of super-me, super-me!
You'er just a fragment of super-you, super-you!
We're stuck together like superglue, superglue!
-
We all live in many worlds, many worlds!
We all come from one big singularity!
We're just bubbles in a quantum froth, quantum froth!
Double double, toil & trouble, fire burn & cauldron bubble!
-
Everything happens, yes, everything happens!
It only looks like chance, not really probability!
-
We all live in many worlds, many worlds!
We're just bubbles in a quantum froth, quantum froth!
We're just bubbles in a quantum froth, quantum froth!
We all live in many worlds, many worlds!
THE RIVER SPINS (noisy) Forestville CA 20 Jun 2000
Lie, cheat, steal / turn the wheel
The pigeons're flying over crematoriums
The jays are singing their forgetful songs
Your last meal / lie, cheat, steal
--
Burn, laugh, love / eat the dove
Midnight's playing a lonely song
Nobody knows what's right or wrong
Fires above / burn, laugh, love
--
[break] The night is black & so's my heart
A flower blooming in the dark
A rhinocerus thrown from the Ark
--
The river spins / ancient sins
Laugh at death, laugh at life
Laugh at me, laugh at my wife
Time rushes in / the river spins
--
The river spins... {repeat & fade}
