He slept right by the yogurt hut on a painted curb,
wearing nothing but some cut-offs and a muscle
shirt.
and at 5 AM the donut girls came quietly to work.
when they slid the trays and banged the bowls,
you woke up with a jerk.
32 ounce soda to start the day off right.
every now and then remembering little things
about last night.
hold on, take 5, check out the fox in the corvette
then you said, "you know it don't no better than
that."
He spent all the money on an ornate waterbed,
it had a carving of a tiger right above his head.
and he's embarassed of the fact that he works at
pizza shack,
he says he made 90k a year before he hurt his
back.
and the money his sister owes him, his cousin has,
but he's in jail.
there's all these checks that should be arriving
any day now in the mail.
but mysteriously the checks won't show
and the sticky boombox by the door
will end up getting sold once more,
for a lot less than before.

Gettin' Jipped

Go home mama go home to your cop
You made us all feel weird you should just stop
As soon as he takes off you appear
with your one year old and a half can of flat beer
You bought into the thought that believing in
something is a lot of shit
well thats unfortunate
I guess youre gettin Jipped
You bought into the lie that the truth dont apply to
you and never did
well thats unfortunate...I guess youre gettin jipped
(guitar solo)
I got ski poles and Im on my horse
and youre on pills all weird wearin gym shorts
and my horse and I are gonna find your man
and let him know hes got a fucking freak on his
hands
You bought into the thought that believing in
something is a lot of shit
well thats unfortunate
I guess youre gettin Jipped
You bought into the lie that the truth dont apply to
you and never did
well thats unfortunate...I guess youre gettin jipped
I guess youre gettin jipped
I guess youre gettin jipped
yes youre gettin jipped

In the town where i'm livin now wedding rings reek and the records are held by the sad
the cameras can't find any smiles
and the water's the worst tasting i ever had
the grown-ups ride BMX bikes
every now and then stopping to cry on a lawn
the trees have turned black
and they're full of insane birds who can't remember any of their songs
There's shootouts and fist-fights by night in the graveyard
and multi-car pile-ups by day
and the freight train de-railed and sank in the lake and like a lobster it bubbles away
when you get here, the "welcome to this town" sign,
it scares little kids with its skulls and it's gore when you leave here, the "get the hell out" sign is well-kept
and pretty with floral decor
in the town where i'm livin' now

Dearest Descrambler
my darkling decoder
Im too prone to smit and too apt to crush
Ive been stuck by your soft truck
One and a two and a few but not enough times
If you see me looking round for someone to spend
my money on.
Will you shake your head in disappointment?
If you see me looking round for someone I can
spend my money on
please shake your head in disappointment
(instr)
Dearest Descrambler my darkling decoder
Im too fast to fish Im too slow to duck
Is it too late for me to master a trade?

Build a Box
04:14
|

|
Again I ended up in our old
neighborhood
to finally haul away that stack of wood
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
me in the days when we were good
Stanton says he'll sand it for me smooth
I said dont bother just make sure it's water proof
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
me in the days when we were good
(instr)
The lid has got to fit the top real tight
To make it hard to get inside it late at night
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
me in the days when we were good
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
me in the days when we were good
the days when we were good

I littered your life with my lies for a while,
now I've paid the price
but I don't wanna pay any more
can we make it an even score
an even score
trouble with people like me
tie 'em down and they vanish instantly

Sure it Worked
03:18
|
|||
|
It seems that we tried everything aside from jewels and pink champagne and you'd always tell the neighbors kids that you hated me
My truck got fucked up on that one night remember we were so terrified and you cried while
my head bled all over your favorite skirt
Sure it worked for a while
Until it hurt to smile
We did good to get I got no regrets Sure it worked for a while
til it was work to smile
We did good to get I got no regrets
The stupid things I used to do like get
super drunk and then call you and say a bunch of shit that later I'd regret I was an idiot
Well I have to say that I missed you more
than Ive ever missed anyone before
But it's good we split it was time to quit I got no regrets
Sure it worked for a while
Until it hurt to smile
We did good to get I got no regrets
Sure it worked for a while
til it was work to smile
We did good to get I got no regrets
I got no regrets I got no regrets I got no regrets

More dim sum to dim your soul but your friends they all heard you say

But there's more dim sum untruths have been told
your'e getting dimmer each day

(piano plays)
Oh dim sum is smooth the way it works
It begs you to get outta bed and finish the leftovers
More dim sum to dim your soul
if you continue to fuck off that way one thing is for sure
you wont emit anymore

no you wont emit anymore

Sad and sick on the beach failure of speech
you lost all your friends
the cold and the wind you want it to end I No how how you feel
I No how you feel
(? Unintelligible) by a security guard for stealing a shirt
yeah you fell in the dirt
your jaw's swollen and hurt
yeah I No how you feel I No how you
(interruption/intsrumental)
Find a place in the park now that it's dark
sleep in a bush
you bitch and you moan you wish you were home yeah I No how you feel I No how you feel
You wake up soaking wet with a kink in your neck
then when you see your friends you say this trip really sucks this is where it should end yeah I No know how you feel I No how you feel

well, the rugged and splintered entertainment center held many home theaters and crappy receivers
it stood there proud through the years of bad movies and never passed judgment on you through it all
so where, oh, where are you tonight?
right there in front of the rugged and splintered entertainment center
so where, oh, where are you tonight?
right there in front of the rugged and splintered entertainment center
through years of slammed front doors that held knick knacks and eyesores
and gallons of soda and beer thrown all over it
this prominent fixture, this key piece of furniture
painted granite maybe silver or whatever color is in this year
oh, the rugged and splintered entertainment center held many home theaters and crappy receivers
it stood there proud through thee years of bad movies and never laughed or passed judgment on you through it all
so where, oh, where are you tonight?
right there in front of the rugged and splintered entertainment center
so where, oh, where are you tonight?
right there in front of the rugged and splintered entertainment center
so where, oh, where are you tonight?
right there in front of the rugged and splintered entertainment center
The Rugged and Splintered Entertainment Center
