Intro

Verse 1

Bluebirds are so natural

I wanna buy them for my friends

Bluebirds are so dismal

And I want to trade mine in

And I don't go out for brunch

And I don't go out for cunts

And I don't go out for months

Without my Barnes and Nobles credit card.

Verse 2

Cleaning out my wisdom teeth

I found a diamond in my gums

Cleaning out the kitchen

Found a spoon that played the drums

And despite the things they say

I gave it up that day

I'd never go that way

Unless your daddy nailed me to the cross

Chorus

Suicide, suicide

Leaning out to everyone that hides

breaking the chains on the things down low

Where it stops I don't know how that goes

Verse 3

Bluebirds are so natural

I wanna buy them for my friends

Bluebirds are so dismal

And I want to trade mine in

And despite the things they say

I gave it up that day

I'd never go that way

Unless your daddy nailed me to the cross

Your daddy nailed me to the cross

02. Hard to Be a Girl

Intro

Verse 1

Hard to be a girl

So nice to be a boy

In my room at night

Not a pretty sight

Verse 2

Here's an empty kiss

Marching to the rhythm of the payroll

I can be a good boy too

Just let me out of the stable

Verse 3

Sausages and eggs

And hot and sour soup

Thank me for your time

'Cause I can be as bad as you

Verse 4

Hard to be a girl

That's what the oracle told me

I don't care what she says

I assume it's best to be lonely

Outro

Musical ladders leaning on mountains

Bathed in white laughter under the sun

Somebody's birthday came stumbling towards us

Wrapped in green gladness under the sun

Chorus

We're gonna make it through this war tonight

Someone hold this child up to the light

Verse 2

Prostitute fingers fumbling with matches

Tucked in red couches under green moons

Mexican waitress got caught in the crossfire

Of militant families bursting with juice

We're gonna break it to your folks tonight

Kinda hope your pops don't hear me right

Oh yeah

If there's a clock inside your head

And I don't want to see clear again

Everyone's talking about jesus

Everyone's f*cking my princess

Goodnight to my new dead wife

Goodnight to my nazi friends

I'm standing on the tip of my stinking ship

Hey princess over there

Why you sitting over there?

When you've got a warm spot to share

In the prince's bed

And we live on borrowed time

But this headshot's pretty good

I've been scheming for too long

I was starstruck by your mom

We fall in love by accident

A heavenly coincedence

No matter what you think is true

Let me introduce you to

And we break for passing cars

In the pistol-ripping chase

I regret the drugs you lost

So I skipped our second date

Verse 1

Frozen in time forever

Carrying that torch for so long

Can you hear my heart believe it

Frozen in the index of time

Bridge

They singled out my tongue

In front of everyone

Who was watching my show

They say that i'm no good

I'm sorry that i could

Be that way too you

Verse 2

Dusting off the Roman dollar

Searching for some work on the side

I'm just closer to death than ever

Frozen in the index of time

Bridge

They just don't have the minds

To pay me for my crimes

That they made me do

They don't care how it feels

To them this isn't real

In my magical womb

Verse 3

Frozen in time forever

Carrying that torch for so long

Can you hear my heart believe it

Frozen in the index of time, baby

Skeleton of a smoking plane

The smoke just cleared

Something went wrong

The catfish choked

The sky is gone

Beneath their boats

The forecast floats

The joystick choked

The joystick smokes

Ku klux klansmen dance around the mountain

Plugging up the holes in their harmonicas

N.C.

In the front of the line, now I'm back at home

Roll the dirty dice and you pay in blood

Stole a maxi-pad because I've been in love

Verse 2

Sailboats grinding up against your back

I don't need no sentimental pencil stencil

Heaven hold me back, I've got twenty wives

Chorus

N.C.

There's no wrong way to f*ck a girl with no legs

Just tell her you love her as she's crawling away

N.C.

There's no wrong way to f*ck a bitch with no faith

N.C.

Now you'll never be sad again

Verse 1

Loving you are the two best things in a world that's skipping town

Reaching blind into the deepest mouth in the brownest place around

Chorus

N.C.

There's something amiss in her cum-stained lips

N.C.

So I get the first kiss before she takes the last bite

N.C.

Genital outlaws in a positive way

N.C.

And an everything bagel too

Verse 2

Getting strangled by the junkie priest as the boys get stoned in school

there's a knock at your door and your parents come in they thought you were a different girl

Chorus

N.C.

N.C.

And no one can see your incestous tree

N.C.

No need to contain what the sparrows can say

N.C.

Now you'll never be sad again

13. We're Not Supposed to Be Lovers

To play along with the album,

tune your guitar 1/2 step down

Intro

Verse 1

Picture a place that's far from danger

A nicer place to cash your chips

I'm not the one holding you hostage

Squeezed in between my lips

Verse 2

We're not supposed to be lovers

Or friends like they'd have us believe

We're not supposed to know each other

Accept my apology

Verse 3

I was a babe stuck in a tree branch

Banging on my rusty cradle bars

Until I stole your middle finger

Now who's the one in charge?

Verse 4

We're not supposed to be lovers

Or friends like they'd have us believe

We're not supposed to know each other

Accept my apology

Chorus

Vein underground

Fist face down

Bruise as they heal my pain

Food on the flight

Breakfast bite

Dropped from the orange juice crane

Verse 5

Picture a person you'd forgotten

Kissing your brother or your friend

Picture a wounded entertainer

Cutting his hair again

14. Secret Tongues

Intro

Verse 1

There are men in shades just standing around

These bleeding stars, the paradox

Let the eyes of god be our guide to find a

Gentle path

Verse 2

There's a broken record playing a tune

To the floating waves of the antennas

And you were just a little guy

And I was little too

Interlude

Verse 3

And everything is just floating freely just

Rocking around like a rocking horse just

Jiggling around like silly putty and who

Are you and I?

Verse 4

And you were looking at me smiling

The aliens were just arriving

Wherever they are headed next speaking secret tongues.

15. Bungee

Verse 1

She used to live, with an Indian chief.

Who gave her the clap, that he got from a priest.

Night after night, I would lie with her pets

Like a mail order bride, in a box by the steps.

Chorus

She went bungee jumping,

One fine day,

Off the cliffs of our friendship,

And at the bottom she stayed.

Verse 2

When they told me, that her body was found

An astronaut drowned, in the Long Island Sound.

I tripped down the stairs in my basketball shoes.

And paddled downstream, in my fathers canoe.

Chorus

In the Kingdom of Bungee,

the castle's been stained.

But the Kingdom of Incest,

still has a mighty fine name
