I RAPED SOMEONE:
Everyone's makin' a big deal
outta the fact
That I raped someone
What's the crime?
I had fun
Someone put me away
Someone punch me out
Someone let me play
Let me get it out
After all she was a nun
and the priest wanted to watch
Everyone's making a big deal
over the fact
that we raped someone
what's the crime
we had someone
someone punch me out
someone let me play
let me get it out
Yea
After all
She was a nun
And the priest wanted to
Everyone's makin a big deal
over the fact
that we raped someone
What's the crime
We had
What's the crime
we had
what's the crime
we had fun

FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN'S MOTHER:
You should do everything
Not for the love of Satan
But for the love of Satan's mother
Why
Because she created him
He created you
The camel is laced with needles
Through the head I couldn't get through
All my love to Satan's mother
And in the eyes of mother
Satan's mother
No one goes
Throughout the lives of mother
Satan's mother
It's the show of shows
When she walks the weeds follow her
You should do everything
Not for the love of Satan
But for the love of Satan's mother
Why
Because she created him
He created you
The camel is laced with needles
Through the head I couldn't get through
All my love to Satan's mother
Mother
Mother

WEIRD ON THE AVENUE:
i think the handcuffs are a bit much
i don’t recall ever losing my touch
but just to hold you wouldn’t be fair
not only cavemen enjoy pulling hair
there’s a tattoo parlor down the street
a tattooed face often does look so sweet
they call it weird on the avenue
with all that's been done now
what could be new
they say you're a ten
i guess that means
ten dollars a night
your piercings say you’re on a crusade
but down that street baby there's no parade
they call it weird on the avenue
with all that's been done now
what could be new
they say you’re a ten
i guess that means
ten dollars a night
i see your neck has found a noose
i’m not a cop, haven’t lived your abuse
the avenue has led me to here
i’m holdin' back all my tears for you Weird

KNOW
IT ALL:
know it all, fuckin' know it all
you're the teacher, the guru
so you should know already
how to blow me
seen it all, fuckin' seen it all
Buddha's nothin', Jesus last week
how's it feel to have blown me
you're buildin' a house
but you forgot to make a door
you're buildin' a house
usin' the cross for the two by fours yeah
know it all, fuckin' know it all
you're the teacher, the guru
so you should know already
know it all, fuckin' know it all
know it all, fuckin' know it all
know it all, fuckin' know it all

PRICK:
I don't do interviews
I won't sign autographs
Don't you love the star
When he's a prick
If you take my picture
You're camera's smashed
If you send me fan mail
I won't write back
Don't you love the star
When He's a prick
(back to

THE LONGING GOES AWAY:
i think about you every night
I'm sleepin' less and less each night
they say it gets easier
and the longing goes away
i wish i'd never said those things
i hurt you something bad something
they watch me from the heavens
and although i fall
i dream about you every night
I'm sleepin' with your picture tight
they say it gets easier
and the longing goes away

STARBOY:
executive with his pants down
sittin’ behind a desk
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy
that mansion on that hill could be yours
fancy cash and girls
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy
finish me off undo yourself
put this heroin in your arm
you’re on your way
i think we can do business boy
it’s a crazy business but it’s worth it
how bad do you wanna be a star boy?
be a starboy

JESUS DOESN'T LOVE ME:
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
I can hear the butterfly
I can count to one real fine
But Jesus Doesn't love me
I walk the blind across the street
I toss my coins to all the meek
Give my attention to the priest
But Jesus doesn't love me
My thoughts are on heavenly things
I never purchased diamond rings
And you think that I'm crazy for lovin' you
I don't even have to think about it
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
I can hear the butterfly
I can count to one real fine
But Jesus Doesn't love me
I walk the blind across the street
I toss my coins to all the meek
Give my attention to the priest
But Jesus doesn't love me
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
Ahoo ah ha ah hoo ah
The razor blade be my swan song
Oh no no no no no that's wrong
The gun butts in my mouth so long
But Jesus doesn't love me
(back to

IF U HATE ME LOVE ME:
If you hate me love me
If you hate me love me
Dressed in the dress that you wear
I can see that you care your middle finger's in the air
If you hate me love me
If you hate me love me
Every time I hit you I always had a reason
Every time I kissed you I always wiped off my lips
Every time I struck blood you'd think I had struck some gold
Every time you saw the doctor this was his advice:
If you hate me love me
If you hate me love me
If you hate me love me

BLISS:
I got darkness in one hand
I got blackness in the other
I got you in my sights
I got you as my lover
And the snakes need not hiss
In a world of bliss
In a world like this
In a world of bliss
In a world like this
There are naked women above me
There are naked women beyond
There are fires that haven't been set yet
There are..
There's a fire goin on
And the snakes need not hiss
In a world of bliss
In a world like this
In a world of bliss
In a world like this
Aaagh....
Aaaiiiiiiiigghhhhhhhh....
And the snakes get their fix
As they slide up your wrist
Turn a Mrs. to Miss
Change a kiss to a piss
In a world of bliss
in a world like this
in a world of bliss
in a world like this
in a world of bliss
in a world like this

MAIL:
were you the one who sent me the letter?
'cause no one signed their name, and I know better.
was it just fan mail, or are you in love?
is there a law against falling in love?
not one for that, but stalking I'm sure that is one of
was it just fan mail, or are you in love?
you want candy. am I really that sweet?
I try to be
do you know me? do I know you?
are you the one this song is all about?
'cause if you are the mailman could then find your house
now you have fan mail, now are you in love?

SIR REVEREND MICHAEL JONES:
Have you given up your oath?
Where's your black and white coat?
they say you don't fit in here
then whatcha doin' here?
they say you're free to sin here
if that's the case
I'm gonna stay awhile
Will it be a girl or two?
Sir Reverend Michael Jones?
Room service is a luxury
I'm havin a good time
When they come up for confession
easy on the whine
Have you given up your oath?
where's your black and white coat?
Have you given up your oath?
Sir Reverend Michael Jones?

YOU AND I:
It was hard for you
to come to the realization
I don't love you anymore
You can't go on
It's hard to function as a human being
Skid row's alright
But you never thought you'd wake up here one night
You made new friends
They've got a thing for you when the evening ends
I said You and I
Are no more
I said you and I
never were
you said you and I
Had a chance
I said you and I
had one dance
that was all
that was all
that was all
It was hard for you
to come to the realization
I don't love you anymore
You can't go on
It's hard to function as a human being

HAUNTED:
I'm haunted
when you're near me
Haunted
From now till eternity
"You wait", you said,
"I'll be back from the dead."
I'm haunted
When I look in the mirror
Haunted
My reflection won't appear
"It's strange", you said,
"This other side I know"
"You must go deeper", you said,
"it won't be bad"
"you must go further", you said,
"and you'll be glad"
You see, I'm haunted
my cat's on his 10th life
haunted
from a one time wife
"You wait", you said,
"I'll be back from the dead."
Haunted
I'm Haunted
Haunted
I'm Haunted

ALL THIS GREY
Who's to believe me
If I say "I love you"
Certainly not me
I woke up and the sky was drawn
I kissed your cheek, but the artist was gone
Who left this grey
All this grey
All this grey
All you adore
Lives inside a canvas
Certainly not me
I woke up in the flower bed
Minus you and the sun what's left
All this grey
All this grey
All this grey
All this grey
All this grey
All this grey
All this grey

CELEBRITY:
Ever been to jail?
Ever do enough? You did?
Forgive me I've failed
Forgive me I've sinned
Got a limb in each hand
something red in my mouth
it kinda tastes good
it ain't coming out
If the papers get word of me
I'll be the latest celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
As a kid I cut up a cop
They sent me to jail
Never got any press
It made me depressed
Went down to the TV station
With a head in each hand
In front of the cameras
My face all over the land
and
If the papers get word of me
I'll be the latest celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
Celebrity
If the papers get word of me
I'll be the latest celebrity
Celebrity

If the papers get word of me
I'll be the latest celebrity

FROM A JOKE TO A
LIFESTYLE:
Once we were talkin' and
laughin' and havin' a
gay old time
We were friends a long long time
It seems it had to be that way
it was real fine
I dropped you off at a party
How could you get home
Out went the lights
Likewise the booze did flow
The orgy had just started
and to call me,
you couldn't even find the phone
He became one of them
He jumped over the ledge
It went from a joke
to a lifestyle
I went to your apartment
and once where the rock stars hung there now were men
chains and whips and
puffalators
I smiled said "I would see you later"
it was real fine
You said you had the car keys
How could I get home
Out went the lights
Likewise the booze did flow
The orgy had just started
And 911 I couldn't even find a phone
He became one of them
He jumped over the ledge
Went from a joke
to a lifestyle

ANOREXIC FLAPJACKS
AND BOLTS:
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
Makin' love to you
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
Gonna see you through
I only eat one day of the year
and that's my birthday
and if you don't mind I'd appreciate it
if you don't bake me a cake
I'll blow the candles out in my head
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
Makin' love to you
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
Gonna see you through
I only make one phone call
that's to the weatherman
and if you don't mind
I'd appreciate it if he
keeps the wind to himself
I don't want to be blown down
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
makin' love to you
Anorexic, flapjacks, and bolts
gonna see you through

ENTER I:
Enter I
The applause will break all ears
Enter I
And the world is back in gear
Watch the people increase their will
With love and pride
and hope to guide
Enter I
Enter I
Spoken so long ago
A prophet will come
Spoken so soft and low
This world will be one
With love and pride
And hope to guide
Enter I
Enter I
Enter I
All kings will bow on cue
Enter I
And none shall break my rules
Watch the people reach out to me
With love and pride and hope to guide
Enter I
And now exit I

DROPPING YOU:
Your song only got to number 1
we're dropping you
Your song was funny as a novelty
but we're dropping you
You can find yourself a new contract
From a major or an indie, loser, your things are packed
We're dustin' off your gold record shelf
we're dropping
You can find yourself a new contract
You can find yourself a new
Contract's expired
There's more to life than music
We're dropping you

NIPPLE CLAMPS:
I could love you
I could love you
But you gotta wanna be loved
In the daylight
In the daylight
In the daylight
But you gotta wanna be loved
Could you do something for me?
Could you wear those nipple clamps for me
Could you do something for me
Wear them like you mean it
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
But you gotta wanna be loved
In the Moonlight
In the Moonlight
in the moonlight
but you gotta wanna be loved
Could you do something for me?
Could you wear those nipple clamps for me
Could you do something for me
Wear them like you mean it
Could you do something for me?
Wear those nipple clamps for me
Could you do something for me
Wear them like you mean it
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
I could love you

WITH A WHIPPING:
Maybe
I can make you see
With a whippin'
All my dreams come true
Baby
you can find you're way out of the dark
With a whippin'
You will know the lighter side of man
The lighter skinned man
you used to adore
and if you want to awaken
you'll take your licks
Maybe
this is all that's to become of you
But with a whipping
All my dreams come true
All my dreams come true
All my dreams come true

LORD GRUNGE:
Sweet greasy hair
And sweet grimy clothes
It was the year punk broke
In the year of our Lord Grunge
Fire crackers tied to our dicks
Parents, please call the police
It was the Seattle sound that made me frown
in the year of our lord grunge
Smashing our instruments ala the who
rebelling against our folks
and that whole mindset
Lumberjack rock star
Jaggin in the audience's mouth
it was the year punk broke
in the year of our lord grunge

HIV:
I did some tricks once in San Jose
I'm a magician or so I say
I don't have HIV
I'd like to fight you, come on bitch lets go
never mind the blood, honest Joe
I don't have HIV
I always screen my lovers before they get my love
I've heard of guys from San Francisco
that don't know me, so they don't know
I don't have HIV
(back to

EVERYONE PRETENDS:
They're all alone
there is no air
this black and blue
we all must share
everyone pretends
everyone pretends
nothing ever ends
nothing ever ends
I brought you love
'twas always there
by breathing you
by breathing air
everyone pretends
everyone pretends
nothing ever ends
nothing ever ends
as if you don't
don't really care
It's obvious
beneath your stare
everyone pretends
everyone pretends
nothing ever ends
nothing ever ends
