First topic message reminder :

"The Burning Spear"

[Thurston]
I'm not afraid to say I'm scared
In my bed I'm deep in prayer
I trust the speed I love the fear
The music comes
The burning spear

"Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit"

[Kim]
She got you, got you good - didn't have a chance
Pretty lady put you in - wear hat master ends (?)
Oh baby don't you know - you're livin' on the death
You better stay away - if you wanna live

Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah
Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah

Every time you turn around she is lookin' up at you and down below
Oooh - sugar pie
Mmm - come on
Chocolate spot

She gotta gun and all - don't you even know
She looks into your eyes - angels wanna go (?)
She takes it on the stride - leap through mind again (?)
Don't worry you are fine - living with the mess

Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah
Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah

Every time you turn around she is lookin' up at you and down below
Ooh - sugar pudding
Candy tic
Orange rolls - angel's spit

Boy she's got you got you good - don't you even try?
Come on if you could - you would surely die
You take it towards your mouth - you don't even know
Come on sugar tic - you are gonna go

Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah
Lalalalalalalalalaaaaaah

Every time you turn around she is lookin' up at you and down below
Cool dye - chocolate spot
Check her out - don't you know
Deep in my heart - saying g'bye (?)

"Wish Fulfillment"

[Lee]
I see your wishes on the wall, and that's all right with me
I see you run to make a call, hoping that there's someone free
Your life and my life they don't touch at all, and that's no way to be
We've never seemed so far

What's real? what is true?
I ain't turning my back on you
Where're you goin'? where've you been?
Making wishes, watching dreams

It might be simple, it might be true, I might be overwhelmed by you
You might be empty, the way your eyes just look right through
It's such a mess now anyway, wish fulfillment every day
I don't believe you, now I can't hear a word you say

I see you shaking in the light, reading the headline news
The others they're not quite so bright, we want them to choose you
I could almost see your face tonight, singing simple rhythm'n'blues
You'll always be a star

Shake it baby! come'on scream!
Just see your face in a magazine
Don't doubt it! leaves Chris sore! (?)
I can't stand it anymore

It's my favorite shot of you, you look so pretty your eyes were true
I'm still on your side, in spite of everything you do
We're only blood on blood on life, you paint me pictures every night (?)
Come wish beside me, don't you know you know what's right

"Shoot"

[Kim]
Can I have some money? I'm gonna go to the store
Can I have some money? I can't tell you what it's for
Can I have some money? you know it's you that I adore
Can I have some money? don't ask me what it's for

Since we've been together you've been good to me
You only hit me when you wanna be pleased

Can I have the car keys? I'm gonna go for a ride
Can I have the car please? I'm going out for a while
Can I have the car now? I wanna drive all around
Can I have the car dear? I'm gonna to leave this town

I won't be asking your permission to leave
I won't be asking not to have this baby please
And I won't be asking a devil for a bus fare please
And I won't be asking I had to see you bleed

Ssssssh
Visualize
That's right
Pray baby
One two three
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Can I have my lipstick? that was such a surprise
Can I have my lipstick? I'm going out for a ride
I'm not a little girl, and you sure are not my dad
You don't even know what you almost had

"Drunken Butterfly"

[Kim]
Smile like a sun, back over time
Crazy fr you, pleasure is mine
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

You're coming thru, even it up
Going too far, try understand
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

Whisper kiss yr ear, I'll tell you what I fear
Whisper the kisses in yr ear, I'll tell you what I fear

Come on home, just ain't fair
Name of rock'n'roll, where love dies
Couldn't find a soul, tell it like it is
Deep down inside, drunken butterfly
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what's your name?

"Theresa's Sound-World"

[Thurston]
Like girl come walkin' thru the cornfield
Like blue vibration thru the sea
I know I'd love her to breathe, again
Like cubes are talkin' her down

I've been a wasted day
Like spinning round a saint
Like colored wild sign
Theresa talkin' in the rain

Like girl be growin' thru town
Windows are thoughts in the stain
I know I'd love her to stay
Whispering signs are agreeing

Like talkin' golden terrain
Like thrivin' dark in the saint
A cat in gold goes along
Theresa's sound for the king

"Swimsuit Issue"

[Kim]
I'm just here for dictation - I don't wanna be a sensation
Bein' on Sixty Minutes - was it worth your fifteen minutes?

Don't touch my breast - I'm just working at my desk
Don't put me to the test - I'm just doing my best

Shopping at MaxFields - power for you to wield
Dreams of going to the Grammies - `till you poked me with your whammy

You spined the disc - now you're moving your wrist
I'm just from Encino - why are you so meano

I'm just here for dictation - and not your summer vacation
You really like to shmooze - well now you're on the news

I'm from Sherman Oaks - just a wheel with spokes
But I ain't giving you headace - in a Sunset bungalow

Roshumba, Judith, Paulina, Cathy, Vendella, Naomi,
Ashley, Angie, Stacey, Gail
Ice women
Ice women
Ice women

"100%"

[Thurston]
I can never forget you - the way you rock the girls
They move a world and love you - a blast in the underworld
I stick a knife in my head - thinking 'bout your eyes
But now that you been shot dead - I've got a new surprise

I been waitin' for you just to say
He's off to check his mind
But all I know is you got no money
But that's got nothing to do with a good time

Can you forgive the boy who - shot you in the head
Or should you get a gun and - go and get revenge?
A 100% of my love - up to you true star
It's hard to believe you took off - I always thought you'd go far

But I've been around the world a million times
And all you men are slime
It's goin' to my head, goodbye I am dead
Wastewood rockers is time for cryin', hey!

"Sweet Shine"

[Kim]
I hear my angel mounted baby
Pretend to everlast a lady
Marlboro belt unbuckled baby
They told me you were just crazy
I feel that I could burst
Gimme a little drink of yr sweet time
Is it the way you think?
Or just a pattern of yr glory
Is it just some story?
You wrote all for me
Do you think yr my home?
Down deep yr just a little whorey
I know you, I'm from you
I know you, I'm from you

Whoooooow
I'm coming home to Swall Drive

Cowboys are languishin'
Little girl's are bees
Is it really a green stage coach
Crawling up to me

I dreamt that you were my vacation
Woke to find desire and dislocation
Yr always heavy in rotation
Coming on, flirting with the nation
I feel that I could burst
Gimme a little drink of yr sweet shine
Why is the way you grew (?)
Still in the soul wanting you (?)
Smelling the nite jasmine
Hypnotises me
The flower tells me stories
That make me sick and free
I know you, I'm from you
I know you, I'm from you

Whoooooow
I'm coming home momma, to Swall Drive

Alice is a chain store
Down past 1st and Vine
You can shop there anytime
It's all very fine
Look his hair is colored, do you think he grows
Look it's changing colors, it's bigger than a hose (?)
Look it's changing colors, it's bigger than a rose (?)
Look it's changing colors, it's bigger than a pose (?)
Look it's changing colors, it's bigger than a hose (?)
Look it's changing...

"In The Mind Of The Borgeious Reader"

[Thurston]
Seaside rever gonna rock the boat
Gonna roll it up fat superdope
Yeah pass it around or stick it on a pin
Boyie lover with the bunny skin (?)
My plastic lady here's a glitter roll
Straight from my heart thu thy soul

Hip hop till you drop yeah
Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop

"Tokyo Eye"

[Thurston]
Tokyo eye, Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside, supermen sighing nowhere
Seven to nine, luck is around this sun bear
Fur in the night, Kansai woman goes out
Soak in the eye, Osaka crying for you
Ship in the light, sing in the water sun dew
Ticket to die, ticket to ride the junk star
Shielded in white, Kansai girl in black dew

Tokyo eye, Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside, supermen sighing nowhere
Soaking in my eye, soaking in my eye grey leaf
She dig to cry, she dig to cry love funny
Fur in the eye, Kansai girl is kiss teen
Fun in the light, crying away to sun bear

"Doctor's Orders"

[Kim]
Take one, to come
Doctor's orders, no more borders
Take one, make some
Feeling bolder, no more disorder

Mother's not to blame
She's feeling no pain
Doesn't feel the drain
She says it's not her brain

All right, no wrong
She used to be cleanin', now she's just dreamin'
She's right, you're wrong
She thinks it's the weather, feels light as a feather

Mother's such a mess
She forgets how to dress
She thinks she's lookin' her best
She's no longer depressed

Take one, bake one
Used to be tragic, now it's like magic
Just one, for fun
Mother's new pet, it's not hard to get

Mother came home today
Wearing a big bouquet
She threw her self away
She's taking up spanish ole

"Waist"

[Thurston]
Guess who came round today
X-Girl and the girl snoo-pee
Twinkle toes and sparkle eyes
Everything is a new surprise
They're gonna spend some super-cash
Spend it all on the boy-smash
And all the glamour is all the time
Silver jacket and a twist of lime
Well hope you don't waste away
Yeah hope you don't waste away
You better not waste away
Ooh yeah don't waste away
I've seen it happen before
Girl slipping out the door
Sneaking into Agnes B.
Throw away everything
You've been a waste away
You've been a waste away
You've been a waste away, now

Walk up to her and say
I'd love you anyway
Sweet subtle super style
Wonder how to make an angel smile
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away, wow!

"Quest For The Cup"

[Kim]
Yr the thrill of a million
Walking down the sidewalk
Feel like an alarm clock
Woke up and dressed up
Don't look like a t-shirt
I feel just like a donut
Come and take the trash out
What's the use of crying
Don't look like a bummer
Feel just like a burger
Can I make him like me
Do you feel like I do
Don't look like a slip skirt
I feel just like a poser
I don't look like an angel
I GUESS I'll put some jeans on
Make my lips look redder
True you still look better

This is for Lisa

Ran away to the west
Faxed my mom for the test
Couldn't stay for the rest
Then I met him Jess
He is just the best
We kissed right under a tree
I felt so salty free
I felt so salty free
I felt nothing like me

I felt so s-a-lty free

[Tape]
All your dreams will come true, all my dreams came true
But now, I have a bunch of other dreams, ta-dum-dum
It's gotta be hot hot (?)

[Kim]
I felt so s-a-lty free

"Androgynous Mind"

[Thurston]
Hey sad angel walks, and he talks like a girl
Out trying to think why it stinks, he's not a girl
Now he's kicked in the gut, they fucked him up, just enough
They got me down on my knees, I kiss his ring, God is love

Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind

Hey hey are you gay? are you God?
My brain's a bomb, to turn you on

Androgynous mind, androgynous mind

Hey hey it's okay, hey hey it's okay [x4]

"Bone"

[Kim]
Dry as a bone, take it to heart
Don't look back, you're the one
That's alright, straight from the bone
Walk on by, look to the left
Touched by none, that's alright
That's alright, dark as ink
You are the one, Lord just thirteen
No matter fun, truth never seen
Dry as a bone, dry as a bone
Hands in yr pants, tied to the tree
Rocked back and forth, hips in the leaves
Thighs in the bark, make me free
That's alright

You are the one, don't look back
Strength from the heart, walk on by
That's alright, that's alright
White boy say, yr just fine
First to the last, take it okay
Momma don't know, walk straight by
Look to the left, you are the one
Poor little bone, shiver inside
Fast talking walk, bone girl go inside
That's alright, that's alright
Don't look back, push yr hips up
Yr gonna be free, just for a while

"Self Obsessed And Sexxee"

[Thurston]

Magic marker on yr belly button alright, alright

Self-obsessed and sexxee all the way

And I will build you up while they put you down

"Starfield Road"

[Thurston]
The turbo goes to rocket put yr kiss in my hand
Sensate yr belly down
Bend down round this garbage can
Pow pound down dirty starfield road
A hot ham slap it muscle skin jam load
Blam bam adds explosion to the lamb
Jesus is screaming yr name
Violent loving yeah
Kissing golden, we're going insane
But where is the shame?
When the star pet is to blame
Aah you butt cheeks can't stay
As I spleen my name in flame

"Bull In The Heather"

[Kim]
10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna hold me
Tell me that you wanna bore me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to slowly
Tell me that yr burning for me
Tell me that you can't afford me
Time to tell yr dirty story
Time f'r turning over and over
Time f'r turning four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather

10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna scold me
Tell me that you a-dore me
Tell me that you're famous for me
Tell me that yr gonna score me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to sorely
Time to tell yr love story
Time f'r turning over and over
Time f'r turning four leaf clover
Betting on the bull in the heather

"Winner's Blues"

[Thurston]
...ifor by the away, go out not today (?)
Move back along and wait a long long time
Nothing running free, you gotta time it all
Run out the door come back when you score
New times will come and you will see a door
Into the lion eye and now I'm gone
And it's out
And it's not what you thought it was about
But a life, that you know
Will keep you bound in...

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you got still the blues for me
I could run away, a long time to stay
Burn out your eyes, burn out surprise
Look out today you know it's not the same
It's all the rage, it's every day
And it's out
And it's not what you thought it was about
But a life, that you know
Will keep you round in love

"The Diamond Sea"

[Thurston]
Time takes its crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
'cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul

I wonder how it came to be my friend
That someone just like you has come again
You'll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain

Throw all his trash away
Look out he's here to stay
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you'll never never be the same

Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it's make-belief

Blood crystalized as sand
And now I hope you'll understand
You reflected into his looking glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend

Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you'll love her eternally

Time takes its crazy toll
Mirror fallin' off the wall
You better look out for the looking glass girl
'cause she's gonna take you for a fall

Look into his eyes and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
When love is running wild on the diamond sea

"Skip Tracer"

[Lee]
This she did in public for us to see
She came in here too drunk to do the show
Between the trains and cars
Broken glass and lost hub-caps, images of a gun
Row house row house pass through
Let the city rise up to fill the screen
Clothes flung out of closets, doorknobs falling off
The guitar guy played real good feedback, and super sounding riffs
With his mild mannered look on, yeah he was truly hip
The girl started out in red patent leather
Very I'm in a band with knee pads
We watch her fall over and lay down,
Shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers
Row house row house pass through, let the city rise up
Twister, dust buster, hospital bed, I'll see you, see you
See you on the highway
Now we're told so merge ideas, of song forms and freedom
Miss seafood, miss cheesecake, a couple of miss donuts
The edge of a blade pressed to the throat of your reflected image
Poised, yet totally screwed up
Yes sir, yes sir, step right up

None of us know, where we're trying to get to
What sort of live where we trying to build
Now we're told so merge ideas, of song forms and freedom
Seasons out of life, nothing is out of reach
L.A. is more confusing now, than anywhere I've ever been to
I'm from New York City, breath it out and let it in

Where are you now?
When your broken eyes are closed
Head in a cloudy dream, green and sailboats
Borrowed and never returned
Emotions, books, outlooks on life

Hello 20 15!

Hello, 20, 15!

"Panty Lies"

"No Queen Blues"

[Thurston]
Hey! hey! where you're goin' in such a hurry?
Take it easy girl and tell me a story
Move on over here, slow it down
Tell me why you've been, run out of town
