I'M SORRY (That I Called You A Monster) [country waltz] Volcano, CA 22 Jun 2003

I'm sorry that I called you a monster I'm sorry that I broke your heart I'm sorry that I filed your fangs down I'm sorry that I burnt off your warts Please tell me that we'll never part Please tell me that we'll never part - I'm sorry that I called you a monster I'm sorry your friends hate me so I dragged you away from the cemetary When their appetites started to show Please say you won't leave me no mo' Please say you won't leave me no mo' - I'm sorry that I called you a monster I'm sorry that I kept you in at night When the full moon called to your blood When your wings unfurled for flight When your eyes glowed a greenish light When you gave me that nasty bite Please tell me we'll always be tight Please tell me we'll always be tight

MY MARTIAN LOVER [space waltz] Volcano, CA 29 Jun 2003

I found a lover on the far side of Mars We spent many hours in interesting bars Sucking up stuff to protect us from SARS - My Martian lover is more than a wife Wet like a dream, dry like a knife Pale as the dreams I've dreamed all my life - The guitars played, the wine made us dream My Martian lover sang like a machine Only a few of the others screamed - I thought my lover was really a Martian By why am I so drained and pale? Why do I leave a bloody trail? - My Martian lover metamorphosed at last What once was our future became our past Oh so tenderly and oh so fast

I WANNA BE A MONSTER TOO [bouncy] Volcano CA 11 Aug 2003

We turned on the TV and we watched the monsters Purple monsters, yellow monsters, green monsters too - [chorus:] It's so much fun to be a monster I wanna be a monster too I wanna be a monster too - We turned on the TV and it turned on us Alien monsters and religious monsters [chorus] - We turned on the TV and the monsters came out Political monsters and military monsters [chorus] - [bridge:] Vampires and werewolves just don't stand a chance Ghouls, trolls and mummies just don't stand a chance The monsters from your Id just don't stand a chance Those TV monsters will eat their pants - We turned on the TV and were swallowed by monsters Contemporary monsters, reality monsters [chorus]

THE VAMPIRES IN MY HEAD [mechanical] Volcano CA 11 Aug 2003

I lay awake at night Under the candle light Somewhere there's a flight Of vampires in my head - They're oh so luminescent And almost incandescent I feel so adolescent with The vampires in my head - I creep into the kitchen I haven't got a stitch on They're really pretty bitchin' The vampires in my head - Out under the full moon I never come too soon There's always lotsa room for The vampires in my head - My thoughts are sucked away I don't know what to say I'm blaming my decay on The vampires in my head
