Sleep School
01:44
|

|
I'm going back to sleep school
To see what I can take
A globe from every classroom
Whatever I can break
I'm leaving now
So I can drop out
And repeat the final grade
Everyone at sleep school
Has got a different face
Than the ones that I've forgotten
There's no one I can place
I'm leaving now
So I can drop out
And repeat the final grade

Temporary Jerk

|
The temporary jerk
Falls in and out of work
He's okay with what he's got
It's not a hell of a lot
A ten-speed
A room key
A water pipe
A quiet life
The temporary jerk
He knows just what he's worth
And it's more than what they've got
But not a hell of a lot
A big screen
And red meat
A bed at night
A better life

Sunday Punch

|
Are you taking Sunday punch?
I will make it for you
No bitters, only sugar
Guaranteed to leave you lazy
Ruby-cherried, double-jiggered
Respite for a weary lady
No replacing Sunday punch
To get you through the next week's blues
No bitters, only sugar
Guaranteed to leave you lazy
Ruby-cherried, double-jiggered
Respite for a weary lady

Wheel Horse

|
Lead a wheel horse to water by motor
But don't proceed the wrong way
For the money receiver, the gasoline keeper
Will make sure that you forever pay
Feed a wheel horse with oil and fire
But not till you drive it away
For the money receiver, the gasoline keeper
Will make sure that you forever pay

Yellow Adder

|
Yellow Adder
Tendril of the sun
Wending through the woods to chase the pilgrims on the run
Fortify the barricades and listen for the sound of Yellow Adder's tongue
Yellow Adder
In a cave upon a throne
Of bones of the believers that it killed to make its home
Fortify the barricades and listen for the sound of Yellow Adder's tongue

J. J. Round

|
From the ground at J. J. Round
With fresh new diseases from broken glass pieces
Come the hash witches with their resiny fingers aglow
You were found at J. J. Round
'Neath showers of meteors, a new kind of creature
Hail the hash witches with their resiny fingers aglow

Sun Creeper
01:20
|
|||
|
Sun Creeper slinks from shade
Wants a warm place in which to lay
Turn your belly toward the sun and wait
For sleep to overcome you for the day
Sun Creeper, the light will fade
But now it's brilliant, a billion rays
Turn your belly toward the sun and wait
For sleep to overcome you for the day

Cool Nan

|
Swollen thumb
My eye's been stung
But I'm eating candy in the crescent sun
I'm painting while she watches me
Turn the scanner dial to calamity
I keep a file of melodies
For the passing smile of the grape lady
Drugstore runs
And rocks I've flung
On the frozen lake that we walk upon
I'm painting while she watches me
Turn the scanner dial to calamity
I keep a file of melodies
For the passing smile of the grape lady

Quarter Rally

A quarter rally
I got what I need
Inside the machine
A quarter only
Gonna stay all day like I own the place
My machine I feed, gonna bear my name
A quarter rally
Conquer completely
No one can beat me
Now I'm the only
Gonna stay all day like I own the place
My machine I feed, gonna bear my name

Four Horns
01:05
|
|||
|
Four horns she's throwing
In the air, not knowing
Wrong from right, dark from light
And how to summon demon might
Four horns she's blowing
Enough to scare the growing
Church of spite that deals in fright
Now to summon demon might
