FAREWELL
Cinderella Undercover
When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn't talk, never had nothin to say
But now I'm grown, nothing much seems to have changed
I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves
Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war?
They were the only friends I ever trusted
Now they're scattered, and livin' in the city
Unlisted numbers, Huh
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do
Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won't let me through
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I heard a rumor, they said it's gone nuclear
I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door
A sanctuary for all my friends
We'll stay in bed until the world ends
So please don't wake me, I gotta get some sleep
Cinderella Undercover
I say, better alive than dead
I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is this a fairy tale, this can't be real
There's fighting all around, they're shooting in the fields
They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
Survival is essential, at any cost or any price
The cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
The seven dwarves, HA!, there's only four alive today
Cinderella's working for the CIA
Cinderella, the fairy tale's over
You should know, you got the scars to prove it
And your skin isn't as soft as it used to
But I don't care, come on you said it baby
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
Controller
There's someone knockin' on my door
There's someone knockin' on my door
I think they're looking for me
I think they're looking for me
Pretend there ain't nobody home
Don't make a sound, don't even move
Don't give them nothing to see
I think they're looking for me
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
There's someone crawling in my yard
There's someone creeping on my roof
There's someone tapping my phone
I feel it deep in my bones
They want to probe my intuition
They want to find out what I know
Why don't they leave me alone
Why don't they leave me alone
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
Might be the catcher
Or the controller
Can't be too careful
I take precautions
They're very clever
I got to run
Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
(Repeat first verse)
(repeat chorus)
Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
It's a strange thing
Deadly reason
Razors cut with such precision
Probing deep without detection
Razors never lie
But it's all right
I think they're looking for me
I think they're looking for me
I think they're looking for me
I think they're looking for meeeeeeeeeee
Burn Me Up
[verse 1]
I would like to be a martyr
over time it's getting harder
who do I have to go and kill
to get my face on a dollar bill.
[chorus 1]
Every single time I look
someone else has beat me to it
some poor bastard bites the dust
I really don't know who to trust.
But there's one thing I can't deny
I'd rather it was me they fried
have a drink from an empty cup
light a match and burn me up.
[verse 2]
I'm exhausted, I'm committed,
i'm outsmarted, i'm out witted.
my head's filled with dynamite
it's coming out of my ears at night.
[chorus 2]
I think I am being watched
Electric eyes that never turn off.
Radar beams insinuating
evil thoughts while i'm masturbating.
And even my old trinitron,
it's comin through when nothing's on.
Have a drink from an empty cup,
light a match and burn me up.
[instrumental]
Water
Now everybody tells me you're the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since I don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world turn upside down
When did you change your mind, when did you lose the juice
Now where did you get your attitude
When did you give it away, what did the old man say
And how many babies did you kick today
Now how many nights can the full moon shine
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine
When the blood has flowed against the tides of time
And the water flows forever
Hey hey hey!
Now I'm gonna build a boat, I'm gonna make it float
'Cause I'm getting the chase for a faraway place
Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind
And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend
With a boat for two, just me and you
You can be my teacher, I can teach you too
Gonna try a few things that I've never done
Maybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some fun
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
While I dance a jig under the eyes of Mars
When we get to an island where no one's ever been
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
And I stand with my thing hanging out in the wind
Where the water's sweet like honey
Hey hey yeah hey hey yeah!
I've been feeling a chill, from the east wind blue
It's been creeping up slow, have you felt it too?
Have you noticed the look? Have you felt the feel?
Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed
Have you heard what they say, did you read the news
Said the old man's coming home a-singing the blues
Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide
Make your ears turn red, make you gonna cry
Now how many children gonna lose their minds
How many crying girls will be left behind
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking... yeah
Now everybody sing to the heavens above
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
Won't you clack your teeth, won't you smack your hands
Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand
Won't you jiggle your butt, won't you wave your arms
Won't you look like you just came off of the farm
Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two
Won't you help your neighbors, won't you do the do
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you eat the cake
Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face
Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight,
That you tasted the water and the water was right
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you dance the dance
Won't you wake up please, come on out of your trance
Everybody make believe that you disappear
For a second or two, gonna feel so queer
And you left behind all your rage and fear
And it made you feel like water
Piggies
Piggy met baby in a disco bar
Baby said, what a cute little piggy you are
when he took one look at her rocket tits
he smiled real wide and said "Baby, you're it"
Piggy said baby won't you come with me
my little place is three steps away
Piggy gonna take us both to paradise
he said "Come on little baby, won't you please be nice"
So Piggy and Baby sauntered into his crib
said, "here it is baby, this is where I live"
won't you take a load off, can I fix you a drink
baby turned real slowly and said, "Piggy you stink"
Piggy said baby, do you have a smoke?
Baby said no, she was tryin to quit
Piggy was speechless for a couple of beats
when his jaw dropped open and he said... "shit"
Now Piggy and Baby had some swingin times
and though piggy was stupid,
baby sure didn't mind
baby said, "lets go straight to the stars"
and Piggy said
"huh? .... whatever"
Baby and Piggy took a walk in the park
it seems that Piggy was in kind of a fix
he owed seven bills to a couple of sharks
who were gettin kind of itchy in their finger-tips
So they figured it was best to clear out for a while
Piggy had lots of friends, or so he would boast
and his little piggy habit was kind of out of control
so they packed up his Lincoln, and head for the coast
Baby started smokin again on the way
Piggy's little habit was making him sweat
so they stopped off in Vegas for a couple of days
to scam some cash up and make a few bets
They went and shacked up in a place on the strip
Piggy made some calls and Baby got sick
Baby turned to Piggy with a desparate plea
"C'mon Piggy, you know what we need"
But the problem, you see, was that they were broke as shit
so Piggy asked Baby if she'd turn a few tricks
she argued at first, but she finally agreed
with a couple of shiners, she hit the street
Now Piggy felt good, and piggy felt mean
and Piggy was high on his self esteem
so he pulled out his piece, in front of a cop
but the cop said "Fuck you" and Piggy got popped
Clowns of Death
I'm the one who preys upon the weakest
And the weakest always preys upon the one who's underneath
I'm the one who doesn't see the waves of human kindness or the tides that
turn the day
I'm the one who always turns and looks away
Turns and looks away
[chorus 1]
Because after all, we are only boys
Because after all, we are only boys
Will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be boys will be boys will be boys
I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones
Those that I can find
And there'll always be some others who could march along in line, yeah
March along in line
And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave
And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah
Shout and make some noise
[chorus 1]
[chorus 2]
The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade
Their glaring eyes are filled with hate, but I am not afraid
Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn
With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn
They're looking for the helpless ones
They're looking for the misbegotten
They prey upon the weak and fractured
The crippled and the freaks of nature
And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone
Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow
Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon
And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing
I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones
Those that I can find
And there'll always be some others who will march along in line
And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave
And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah
Shout and make some noise
[chorus 1]
[chorus 2]
Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds
They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads
If you think it just a dream, or that it isn't fair
Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
