Yeah

Nowhere to go

No place to go

I'm real screwed up

My eyes are sore from smoking all that shit

No place to go

Bottomless heart

So big that everything just gets lost in there

And if it never comes out, that's ok by me

And on other side, at the top there may light

At the end of the tunnel

I just dont think I'll be the same

I'm just warning you

I'm warning you all

No crutches no nothin'

I am going to live the end

Apocalypse man

What the hell else is there to do?

I want a mission

Not a gig or a good time, I want a mission

Scrawny stiff legs and despair come walkin'

My way with an achy step

Shipwrecked souls desolation paradise

Bountiful wonderland of lost souls staggering

Around arms out stretched looking

For something

Lonely hero man sitting on the crest of the apocalypse

And our boy says something like, uh

"Hey, sir! I'm a man away from home

And my soul is out on loan

Could you throw us down a bone?

So I wouldn't be all alone?

'Cause I wanna see it all

And I wanna have it all

And I wanna see it fall

And I wanna take it all away"

February 13th, birthday new shirt around my neck

Shivers up and down my spine

The time is mine and I'm feelin' fine

And I take this one thin dime

And I call my mom on the phone and say

Say something to warm her heart

Say, uh, "Your boy done fucked up

Had a bit of hard luck

Went down a wrong trail

Messed with the wrong people

And just lost his mind"

Just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Jumped!!

Get stuck in the trunk

Got stuck in the jungle and their jokes

And their votes and their wrong side looks

And all the notes in the books

And all the wrong turns

And all the bad burns

And he never learned to not get

Burned and he never learned

One more wrong turn led to another wrong turn

Dog people!

These people are for real

They watch television

They run in circles

They bark like dogs

They nip at my heals

They wanna put a collar around my neck

They want me to be like them

Well I just walk right past, right over em

Right though em, right on top of them

I crush their face

'Cause its easy'

'Cause they're nothing

'Cause they're nothing

Little dogs.

Humping dogs

Stickin' that thing in any crack that passes by

Dirt falling in my mind

Dirt gets stuck in my mouth

Dirt gets stuck in my eyes

Seeing everything through dirt

All I see is dirt, all I know is dirt

Just talking dirt, talking dirt

Digging dirt, loving dirt, rolling in dirt

Dirt river, dirt slithers, dirt lovers

Dirt undercover, dirt over color

I've felt dirty before, but it never felt quite like this

I've seen dirt before but it never looked quite looked like this

I've talked dirt before but it never sounded quite like this

That's not the way it is

That's just the way it is around here

Around these parts

Ooh!

It took a long time to make a long rhyme

It took a long time to make a story short

It took a lotta lives and a lotta lies

To make this story what it is

And stretch it into a disgusting distortion

And proportion and detail

And you can retail that, and sell it

To the market and see what you get

Bring back the proceeds and, well

Spend it on something that works

Something that will save me

Something that will get me out of here

Theres nothing I want more than out

Theres nothing I like to roll in like dirt

Look!

I keep to myself

I look at myself

I hate myself

And if we could all just get together and hate a little

We could hate one another

Hate our sisters and brothers in the sea of disunity

Get my fill when the bloodspills

Get my fill when the bloodspills

Get my fill when the bloodspills

I get my freeze with the chillspells

I get my thrills with the cheers fell

I get my thrills with the cheers fells, the glass breaks

Chills up and down my spine and I'm feeling fine

I was feeling fine the time is mine

Spendin' time to time getting my beer and all the gulls

Wing inside my head, and alarms goin on and off

All fucked up

All messed up

Open my eyes, too much breathing

Too much of that fucking dirty air

Makes me talk shit

Makes me live shit

Makes me wanna kiss the ground

Better than kissing you

Dirt girl, in that dirt dress

What's up that dirt dress

What's up that dirt dress

Ain't nothing but a bunch a trash

Ain't nothing but a bunch a trash

Ain't nothing but a bunch a trash

Ain't nothing but a bunch a trash

But you seem to have me quite interested

Quite interested

I think I'll walk your way

I think I'll say your name

I think I'll come over to your house

Got something for me?

Got something for me?

I'm the man among men, walking tall with a plan

You can send it around the world, you can hold it in your hand

You can bring it on home, I'm armageddon man giiirllll

Armageddon man, girl!

Armageddon man, girl!

And I want the whole world

I want the whole world

I want the whole world

I wanna make this place a better place

And send my shovel and face

Everywhere

A statue of my effigy

They erected a slum in my name

Henry rollins memorial slum

Henry rollins memorial pit

Got a grave with my name

Got a grave and it always looks the same

Through the eyes of a fucking bug
