I'll Get Over It
During the initiation
Please refrain from conversation
Leave your opinions at home
Put your cigarettes out
I've been thinking a lot
I might have difficulty
I've lost my intensity
But I'll get over it
Shocker In Gloomtown
We're you there
We're you kicking
Alive in aisle twelve
Gimmick of the century
In boxes and jars
And giveaway cars
He motioning for you
It was a band
They were sickening
Arousing everyone
PS Dump Your Boyfriend
Promotional trash
Emotional bash
With helium balloons
So now tell me
How the hell did we miss it
Bared his ass for all to see
And no one got to kiss it
Alien Lanes--I have no idea here
Off The Floor
In my mind
There are dreams of me??
Following white??
See the form before my eyes
Wouldn't Jesus be surprised
If ??in colony?? the way to see
And if color be the way you see its
Distant greetings
Break Even
Jagged purple rocks
Drunk with the tours and the travel guides
We've all come to Hope Cove
Singing the ??waning?? pop standard
In the haven of our love
Trying to break even
Most of us will not turn back
Somehow I know you will not
Carry all the ancient medicine
Steal my rosy red invention
Gather the amps
And dampen the camps
The day is done
When we see the sun
Perhaps then the race is won
Bee Thousand--not a clue
