1.Wipe It Up

Oh! Oh!

Grease drools down from between your lips,
Drips down just like the grease on your fingertips.
Over and down the side of your mouth.
Pardon me man, if you mean it, pack up.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.
Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.

Did I ever ask you about your plans?
Did I say I wanted to know all about your favorite thing? Ooooo!
No, no. I threw my sweater on the floor.
You threw my lovin' out the door.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, you're a bonehead.

You've got big hair and a comely doo.
You never make a million dollars a year.
Say some more 'bout how you know it all.
And how the pretty pages will fall when you call.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.
Wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.


2.Rain(Demo)

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
Did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
And I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.


3.Boiled Potato

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I'm three years younger than you.
Oh, potato, if only you knew,
Boiled potato.

I had a hole in my heart
And you landed on my plate.
Now, I feel all weak in the knees.
Was it something I ate?

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

You make me hate myself.
You make me feel like a bubbling fool.
I'm stupid and ugly.
You're superior and cool.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
How many times I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

I'm glad I met ya',
My boiled potato.
I wanna' show you to the world,
To everyone I know.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
Whenever I think, I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

(Anywhere you be)
(Be alone with me)

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.


4.Lament

You told me all about you, without ever saying a word.
Every time you opened your mouth it was my voice that I heard.
At least that's what I thought, or maybe I'm just lonely.
Believing every minute of every day, that you're the very only.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were stuck onto my heart.
Why don't you finish what you start?

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.

Before, you had to sing your songs, there was nothing else you
could do.
Well, I know all about it, 'cause I do it too.
I waited and waited and waited and waited for you to return
again.
And when you finally resurfaced, it was like I'd lost my best
friend.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were really dear to me.
Ohhh!
I wish your words were still clear to me.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way. No.

It's a fact and I can't fight it, it will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.
If you didn't mean it, why'd you write it? It will always be
unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.

You can't come back that many times, there's no such thing as a
dull roar.
I promise I'll never make you wish it was like it was before.
I'll stop it before it gets like that, it doesn't matter how.
You'll only have good memories, the only time is now.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' do that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.


5.Cesspool

They took it away, they won't put it back.
They made all the water turn to black.
Their deed is washed up on my shore.
It was better the way it was before.
Check out this place I used to go.
None of my children'll ever know...never know.

Something's wrong but it could be right.
It's not like the day turning into night.
I'll tell you about it, I'll take you there.
You think about it, but you don't dare
To act for what we all deserve.
All we need is a little nerve...lot of nerve.

They'd do almost anything if the price was right enough.
Well, I might do anything to clean it up.

Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo-ooo.

They took it away, they're not gonna' put it back.
They think they've got me in a trap,
But there's one thing I'm prepared to do
To make this cesspool as good as new.
I'll get my guns and both of my friends.
We'll make some righteous amends...maybe we'll start a trend.

Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.
Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.

'Tis the circle of woe.
Summertime at home.


6.You Don't Give Up

There you go again as soon as the going gets tough.
Are you finding that a diet of fluff won't fill you up?
That's a nice line, from where did you lift it?
You talk like heaven, you're amazingly gifted.
Show me a reason why your promises fall through.
Your kisses were okay, but you stole them too.

You don't give up, you're a loser disguised.
You voice your concern, but it's a pack of lies.
You don't really care, don't say that you do.
Save your breath for when you tell the truth.

You draw 'em all in and then you turn around and throw 'em away.
Better watch out for all of them who misconstrued your little
games.

You don't give up, you're a fool who really tries
to make innocent people think you're some kind of prize.
You don't really care, don't try to tell me you do.
Save your spit for when you shine my shoes.


7.Star

You ring me up and you bring me down.
I never know if you'll come around.
I like the salty taste in my mouth.
Ten minutes on the lips, ten days without.

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

What would you say if I shined at night?
If everyone wanted a piece of my light?
Would you say the name?
Would you finally be the guy who can't get enough of me?

If I were a star,
Would you think of me when you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

Just think of what I could be and not what I am.
The envy of every woman, the dream of every man.

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when we're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?


8.Sanctity

Another way to go, the weight won't show.
A cheapskate's guide to the kissing zone.
I didn't come back.
Babe, don't you move at all when I do.
I'll make some buildings fall.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through, will you pretend to be alive?
Make a fire in the quiet sky. Ow!
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.

A heavy metal rain upon your head.
A burning blast to bring you back from the dead.
You used to kill me with your smile,
I'll be back in a while to take you out in style.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through, would you pretend to be
alive? Wo!
Make a fire in the quiet sky...sky.
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.

Oh, wo-wo-wo-wo, I'll make some buildings fall.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I...if I tear a hole straight through, would you pretend to
be alive? Wo!
Make a fire in the quiet sky...sky!
Kiss a boy and teach him how to cry.


9.Out There

You drive around aimlessly.
Don't know what you hope to see.
You know it's stupid.

I see you when I pass you by.
I'm afraid to meet your eye.
I know it's stupid.

You have a voice, you have a phone,
But you're usually alone.
You know it's stupid.

I have a body and a brain,
But I turn them off again...again.
I know it's stupid.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where,
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.

I'm gonna leave this place.
Gonna' leave this life of waste.
Gonna' put on a new face.

Where was I before?
I'm not there anymore.
Went away and tried to come back.
Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where,
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where.
There's nothing out there.
It's not out there anywhere.

I'm gonna' leave this town.
Gonna' leave it like I found it.
Gonna' turn myself around.


10.Girl In A Box

I've got a girl in a box,
Keep her under my bed, it sure must get hot in the summertime.
I get her out when there's nothing else to do.
When there's nothing on TV, when I can't see you.
Wife don't mind if I give her a child.
My wife don't mind, she thinks it's pretty wild.
I've got this girl in a box, I got a girl in a box.

I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day that I die

And I hope I die in the nighttime
With my TV on and a beer in my hand and you by my side.

I got a girl in a box,
We play games, I'm anything I'm not,
But I wanna' be, yeah, I wanna be.
She'll be a slut, or a dirty little whore
Or the girl next door or my bride instead
Or I'll cut off her head,
If I want to, yeah, I want to.

I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day that I die.
I've got a girl in a box.
I've got a girl in a box.


11.I'm Not Your Mother

People think you're tough,
but you only pretend to be.
A real man would live alone
and feel no pain, like me.

When your baby said she was leaving
you slapped yourself in the face.
You clung to her and cried
and cracked all over the place.

Because you're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.

I was only talking when I said to you
whatever it was I said.
I didn't mean anything.
Just put it out of your head.

Now you look to me like I'm ready to give
but I only just wanted to play.
You're trying to cop a feeling
while I'm trying to get away.

You're a big guy, but you're cut down to size
when you're left all by yourself.
Well I'm not paid to babysit
and don't ask me to help.

Let go of me and fall
into the arms of another
I'm the wrong girl for you.
I'm not your mother.

I'm an island. I'm a rock.
My head's an emtpy mental block.
You can't get lovin' from a stone.
I ain't no goddam foster home.

You're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.

You're a weak thing.
Just a little lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just like a woman.

Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anythign you can do I can do do.
I'm not your mother. I'm not your mother.


12.Temptation Eyes

He's got something that moves my soul,
And he knows I'd love to love him,
And he lets me down every time,
Can't make him mine he's no-one's lover,
Tonight with me he'll be so inviting,
I want her all for myself.

Temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me tonight.

French lines :
' Je voudrais aimer,
Baise moi baby, baise moi baby,
Baise moi baby okey '.

His wild-eyed innocence is just a game,
But just the same my head is spinnin',
He's got a way to keep me on his side,
It's just a ride that's never ending,
Tonight with me he'll be so exciting,
I want him all for myself.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me tonight.

' La vie est gaie quand tu m'aimes ',

With me he'll be so exciting,
I want him all for myself.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me, love me tonight.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me baby.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me tonight.


13.Downtime

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my mind.
Just trying to pass the time, I'm about to lose my mind.
Anything goes away in time.

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my skin.
(Sun is shining, sun is shining on my skin)
How will I keep my insides in, I'm about to lose my skin.
Everything runs away in time.

Can I turn and hold it down?
Make it stop spinnin' around.

Oh, Jesus, I'm about to lose my girl, I don't need your word.
I count every hour.
Everything burns away in due time.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

I'm about to lose my mind, trying to pass the time
I'm about to lose my mind.
Everything falls away in time.


14.Over And Over

At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down,
My heart goes running back to you,
I love the way you open up and let me in,
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach,
That wasn't really too long ago,
But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach,
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Over and over again my love, my love
Over and over again with you, you
Over and over again my love, love
Over and over again with you.
