SOUL DOUBT

Sometimes I feel my life is going 'round in circles

Beneath my eyes are bluish black

There's nothing new, no one I wanna talk to

Nothing I wanna think about, I got soul doubt

I stick My head out of the window, it's closed

Instead of air, I get glass stuck in to my head

The city's sounding, and I can't seem to stop the pounding

Can't keep my thoughts from flying 'round ( X 2 )

Not sure what I am thinking about, I got soul doubt

A shameless display, wearing a smile full of pain

A frameless Erte, a painting without a signature

She's waiting for someone to save her

As I pass her I see Cinderella

She dosen't fit into the slipper

Like she fits in a bottle of liquor

There's no one to take her away

Her eyes meet mine, she sees right through me

The question is asked, Whatcha' gonna do for me?

I don't want nothin', just a connection

I gotta know what she's all about

Cause I know she's been there --

Soul doubt

I stick my head out of the window once again

This time I see a thousand faces all too clear

They wear the same expression, I've seen in my face

So many times, I know exactly how they feel

I know exactly how they feel

I know just what they think about

They've got soul doubt

STICKING IN MY EYE

When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye

As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna 

I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words

Saying things, saying things that

I got something sticking in my eye

Got something sticking in my eye ( X 2 )

I feel unusual from thinking

About the underground decay, God help me

Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry

It's not from pity, it comes from

What's been sticking in my eye

Got something sticking in my eye

BOB

Fifteen years getting loaded

Fifteen years 'till his liver exploded

Now what's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink?

The Doc said, "What were you thinkin' 'bout?"

Bob said, "That's just the point,

I wasn't thinkin' 'bout nothing

Now I gotta do something else to pass the time."

Had someone shave his head

Got a new identity

Sixty-two holed air conditioned boots

And a girl who rides a scooter to take him out of town

They could get away

Riding around, as the trucks drive by

You could here the mother fuckers go...

A couple of lines, an extra thermos of Joe

He'll be kickin' in heads at the punk rock show, yeah

Bob's the kinda guy who knows just what

Bob's the kinda guy who knows just what to do 

When the doctor tells him to

"Quit your drinkin', now's the time."

Will he ever walk the line 

To all my friends, I feel just great

But will he ever walk the line

Kickin' ass and bustin' heads

Red suspenders

Once a day he shaves his head

But will he ever walk the line?

YOU'RE BLEEDING

You've got the beauty, but that don't mean a thing

A bland reciprocation, but that dosen't bother me

You're happier with lights on underneath a darkened sky

Only in the spotlight can you tell me of your crimes

I understand the situation, but I can't

Seem to understand the motivations you once had 

I recall a message I once left behind a screen

I was entranced, when you were never there for me

You're draining, you're draining me, I'm not a tub

What ever happened to the girl I used to hold?

I held in such a high regard

Where is the girl who had it all?

I used to think I wasn't worthy of your cause

I used to feel so lucky

Until the day I felt a weakness in my arms

I knew from where it had been coming

You're bleeding, you're bleeding me, I can recall

The passions you once had, where did they go?

I knew a girl who had it all?

I knew a girl where did she go?

STRAIGHT EDGE

I'm a person just like you 

But I've got better things to do 

Than sit around and fuck my head 

Hang out with the living dead 

Snort white shit up my nose 

Pass out at the shows 

I don't even think about Speed 

That's something I just don't need 



I've got the straight edge



I'm a person just like you 

But I've got better things to do 

Than sit around and smoke dope 

'Cause I know I can cope 

Laugh at the thought of eating ludes

Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue 

Always gonna keep in touch 

Never want to use a crutch

 

I've got the straight edge 

(Lyrics by Ian McKaye of Minor Threat)

LIZA AND LOUISE

Liza's had enough of men

She says, she won't get buried again

She says, they don't know how to fuck

Her last boyfriend, the shmuck

Shared with her a nice disease

Kept her passive, on her knees

'Til one day she took his car

And drove it to the city

Liza had put down a few

When she met this girl named Lou

Who convinced her to go home with her

She said, "My name's Louise

Now will you take off my clothes please?

I want to take you to the moon and back

So get on your back."

With a flick of the tongue

She made her scream

She made her laugh 

She made her dance

She was happy for the first time

And you know she wanted more

Now with her legs spread wider

She needed to have Louise inside her

She said, "I'll never forget the first time

You kissed me, now I want you to fist me."

Louise didn't need a second invitation

She knew just what to do ( X 2 )

Liza had cum a few times before

But she had never even seen the door

Into the world of pleasures of the flesh

She felt just like 16

And her life before now was a dream

Or even a nightmare thats over and done

Just like warm healing rays

Shining from the sun

THE BAG

Endless evenings of non-exist

Are getting shorter, monotonous

Like an intruder, I belong outside

Although I find myself right back

The same place I was before

Saying things I'd say once more

There's no reason for me to be here, no

I feel so lonesome, surrounded by friends

Who are talking about me, saying things I could care less about

This dialogue is without

Worth, content, significance

Conversational ambivalence

Hear the same things every night, it just ain't right

I'm not the one to hold the bag

Give me something I can sink my teeth into

Show me a time, tell me a story

That I haven't heard a million times before

I pass out from boredom

As I watch the people pass

I see moments in their lives, nothing fascinating

Are we all living for the past, never realizing

We're clinging to an empty bag

Lacking content, significance

Conversational ambivalence

Say the same thing every night, it just ain't right

We'll see who's left holding the bag

PLEASE PLAY THIS SONG ON THE RADIO

We wrote this song, it's not too short, not too long

It's got back-up voc's in just the right places

It's got a few oohs and ahhs

It takes a little pause

Just before the second chorus

Please play this song on the radio

Almost every line is sung on time

Almost every verse ends in a rhyme

The only problem we had was writing enough words

But that's okay, because the chorus is 

Coming up again now

Please play this song on the radio     

Please play this song on the radio

WARM

One more time for Ho Jo, you know I can't wait

Another wasted line

I'm sittin' in the corner, I can feel the weight

Of my head on top of my spine

There's nothing to be scared of once you've

Seen the the light, reflecting through the screen

A eudaemonistic life composed of tar and nicotine

You know it, You know it, You know it 

'Cause you've seen it, now you believe it

You know it because it seems so real

You know it because you've seen it, now you believe it

You know it because it seems so real 

It seems so real, It seems so real, It seems so real

Sit back and relax and do nothin',na,na,na,na

You'll laugh, then you'll cry, then you'll feel nothin',na,na,na,na

Implanted images of morality

Images of life, they seem so real

One more time for Ho Jo, what does it mean?

I'm not sure I know, while looking for somebody

Deep inside a dream, my sunshine turns to snow

Now it's blowin' inside, I don't feel the cold

Yet I'm frozen to my seat

My eyes have seen the truth

And still my mind admits defeat

I WANNA BE YOUR BABY

Open your self, let me inside

Open your arms, I have nowhere

To go, so let me in to you

I need to be where nothing can hurt me

Open your legs, to let me crawl

Inside of you, I need to be

Inside your womb, So take me home

Inside of you, envelope me, I'm home

I wanna be your baby

Bringin' me down

Bringin' me down  

Open your lips and take me in

I need to be inside within

Let me become a part of you

Let me inside of you, swallow me whole

I want to know the things you hide

I want to feel the things you feel

I want to breath the air you breathe

I want to live inside of you, take me

Bringin' me down

I wanna be your baby

Let me live inside

JOHNNY APPLESEED

Through word of mouth let it be known

The man who spends his life on a mission, he's legendary

Travelling from coast to coast

He's the contemporary Johnny Appleseed

He's making sure his garden grows

He'll plant a seed in every town he goes

Fertilizing the country side

Couldn't stop him with insecticide

Makin' sure that the garden grows, 

yeah,yeah,yeah

Groomin' the backyard, or whackin' a weed

When diggin' holes, he'll be wearing a glove

He go into the shed, get out a shovel, and he shove

He'll plant the seed, makin' sure it's sown

He go into the shed, and he start hoein' with the hoe, 

ho,ho,ho

Makin' sure that the garden grow,

yeah,yeah,yeah    

He'll water the yard with the garden hose

Groomin' the backyard, or whackin' a weed   

yeah,yeah,yeah

SHE'S GONE

A blackened wick is what remains

The flame was blown out just recently

Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick

It won't be lit again, the day won't be so bright

We don't know what she may have been

All we know is what she left behind

An apartment cluttered with children's toys,

Photos of good times

In the bedroom, there's sheets on the windows

There's a four poster bed for a reason

There's a box on the floor full of secrets

It won't be opened

Here older boys and girls would play

All inhibitions were left behind

As the door would close, her face began to shine

This was her finest hour, this was her finest time

Now, she's gone, and it's not gonna be alright, not for me

She's gone, but not forgotten, she's still here

In all those years she touched so many lives

Who's gonna watch the little girl she left behind?

Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard

All the other children have gone

After waiting for hours, 

She can't understand why her mother left her sad

In the darkness she sees definition

In the silence, she hears someone calling

After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming

But there's no reaction

There's no one listening, there's no one

Now, she's gone, and it's never gonna be alright, not for me,

She's gone

BUGGLEY EYES

Have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek

And woke up with Bo Diddley?

Have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek

And woke up with Bo Diddley?

You got so loaded, you thought that she

Was the most beautiful gal that you ever did see

Yeah, have you ever gone to sleep with Bo derek

And woke up with Bo Diddley? 

Woke up in the morning, to your surprise

A couple melons in tube socks,

And buggley eyes

Yeah, have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek

And woke up with Bo Diddley?
