Boy Toy 04:03
As I left the polish bar, you got up and out your car you looked up at me and with your eyes you swore at me You foolish little man, with your life set to plan spend some time with me and a few tricks you will see A spinster I will be, no man can tame me I'll lead you to your grave this mistake will make you cave But you're chicken shit lazy, you're bat shit crazy but Baby, we were meant to be. My friends said I should hate her, I'm meeting her later, this devilish sin makes my life content to end You foolish little boy, I have made you my toy You're one of a few I have left to sit and stew. A spinster I will be, no man can tame me I'll lead you to your grave this mistake will make you cave But you're chicken shit lazy, you're bat shit crazy but Baby, we were meant to be. You foolish little man, this ain't no can can, I'll kick you to the curb because that's what you deserve. A spinster I will be, no man can tame me I'll lead you to your grave this mistake will make you cave But you're chicken shit lazy, you're bat shit crazy but Baby, we were meant to be.

Cry Baby 02:22
When I was young it didn't matter, I treasured time on my own but now I'm scared of sleeping alone So I hear this hair will fall out soon this year but under that marker I'll be six feet dear So get 'em up Wave 'em high all your reasons to die With your teenage thought and your cry baby times you would give your own life just to prove that you're true But what good are you when you're gone baby blue? When I was old it didn't matter, I was always steps closer to meeting the lord And I'm as best as I can be for not completely being in my right state of mind it's getting worse all the time. So get 'em up Wave 'em high all your reasons to die With your teenage thought and your cry baby times you would give your own life just to prove that you're true But what good are you when you're gone baby blue?

Celia Blue 02:49
As I begin to retrace the words and the space for the lies that I did use I'll begin to admit that I should have spent a little more time being honest with you with a story told it seemed so clear as the only way of keeping you near Everyone that I know is getting, getting old dance around in the wedding bands Children, children they will grow Get back from your set back or just find yourself a way Appalachian, Indian Reservation, just get yourself away love the Lord, or find a whore, just give yourself away Everyone that I know is getting, getting old dance around in the wedding bands Children, children they will grow

The Wringer 03:42
I don't ask no questions leave it all up to suggestions Whether I'm wrong or right whether I'm a joy tonight there's no good nights til my names in lights Am I selfish? Am I driven? Am I an asshole? O' do you know? When I was young I was told I would be something then I didn't give a shit but now I wanna be it. O' buttercup baby, I won't go crazy this tension in my arms is a heart attack alarm And I may be selfish, driven it seems, but I'm an asshole. O' that I know. (No! Me!) It's all about me. Am I an asshole, o' do you know? I'm an asshole, o' that I know. (Oh do you, oh do you...?)

On My Knees 03:26
I pleased myself in a cold, dark room alone, with no thoughts of you. O' fantasies all flicker via a flashing feed on that tiny screen. O' lover if you had seen you'd flee before the count of three Or you'd have gone and thrown me out Or worse you'd stay to stick it out When you can't get out you must do something about You can call your Mother, but you know just what she'll say "O' Why did you bother at all?" I've lost few friends in life thus far, the age of the internet makes it hard but it offers up what a little boy dreams flashing feeds of them center fold queens O' lover if you had seen you'd flee before the count of three Or you'd have gone and thrown me out But worse you stayed to stick it out. When you can't get out you must do something about You can call your Mother, but you know just what she'll say "O' Why did you bother at all?"

The Joke 03:03
And I've got friends who never sleep a wink but there always up for them late nite drinks And we might share a bed, or kiss instead but sooner or later, I hope we'll be friends it's a slippery slope to the top but I hope when we get there we'll be past an affair. I hope, I hope you don't think I'm a joke. oooo la la ooo la la la And I've got grains of sand, a nice piece of land, so won'chu come and hold my hand. And we will grow old, it will be a story told when we're bags of bones that drive real slow And it's a slippery slope to the top but I hope in our rocking chairs, we will have no cares. I hope, I hope you don't think I'm a joke. oooo la la ooo la la la

Feral Child 02:41
Oh the soft blue green of that television screen wild like children, hear that feral child scream quietly lay that babe upon the floor sucking on his thumb and not asking too much more spilling all my guts like them alter boys at night fresh from communion with their first taste of wine But on strong winds That black cloud coming in won't fear from, retreat from, at least we're assured some rest in the end We lay, lie, love all the while. This cougar love my darlin' Father God agrees, Go ahead, just slip that blouse off for me. Set on comin' back stealing Pablo's words, slaughtering attempts to tongue them foreign words She spoke of this fire, and all the smoke billowing out Them poisons close my eyes, leaving her a solo mountain climb. So we're off. To the Dead Sea, or Mexico City, praying lighting candles to that Virgin Mother Saint. We lay, lie, love all the while. This cougar love my darlin' Father God agrees, Go ahead, just slip that blouse off for me.

Good Spark 03:51
Should I leave you, stick with you, should I know what to do? Sometimes I think I don't know you. O' you, who are you? O' better yet, who am I? O' Do you mind? Should I wait, Should I waste or impatiently haste? Life being fickle, it comes as a trickle to me. Sometimes the strength to be alone, is something that I don't own. I asked to stay or go but the world I did roam, a flicker in the wind I re-lit again, a good friend said "Keep a Good Spark Burning" Trust me darlin', you're always learning. Should I wait, Should I waste or impatiently haste? Life being fickle, it comes as a trickle to me. Sometimes the strength to be alone, is something that I don't own.

Blue Ribbon 06:34
My friends at home, they all piss and moan about how I live or when to give it all to the world or just to give it a whirl, a nice little sample, a tasting ample Just try hard, don't get barred and if you do, it's a lesson, a story worth addressing. Undressing I need from some nice thing, a prize little jewel to prove I'm no fool. When you said "How are you?" and I swore you said "I love you." But maybe, as of lately, it's what I've been wishing. On a visit home, to that old grass grove The fair was in town, my friends were all around The Blue Ribbon gal with her hair all down, she was sent mission, my prize vixen And I tried hard And I got barred and it sure was a lesson, a story I'm addressing. Undressing I need from some nice thing, a prize little jewel to prove I'm no fool. When you said "How are you?" and I swore you said "I love you." But maybe, as of lately, it's what I've been wishing.
