Some days you're the dog Some days you're the hydrant

She's a Waltzing Matilda Says her life is a lie Says she'd like to be married here And these are the days of her life Says she ain't in no hurry oh no And you know that's alright Saw her mother in fusion dear Like suicide for the rest of your life Says she ain't in no trouble oh no And you know that's a lie Says she knows of your future here Like suicide for the rest of your life Says she's looking for action oh boy, And you know that's alright Black stockings and high heels That red lipstick drives me wild She's a Waltzing Matilda Says her life is a lie Says she knows of your future here Like suicide for the rest of your life

Waltzing Matilda

She's a Waltzing Matilda Says her life is a lie Says she'd like to be married here And these are the days of her life Says she ain't in no hurry oh no And you know that's alright Saw her mother in fusion dear Like suicide for the rest of your life Says she ain't in no trouble oh no And you know that's a lie Says she knows of your future here Like suicide for the rest of your life Says she's looking for action oh boy, And you know that's alright Black stockings and high heels That red lipstick drives me wild She's a Waltzing Matilda Says her life is a lie Says she knows of your future here Like suicide for the rest of your life

The times are strange but sweet, they ought to be Coffee shops, Atomic submarines Lonely people sit and talk to me It’s just another day Waiting with my phone, it never rings TV’s plastic personality Emulate the Star’s that I have seen And dance my reggae sway And dance my reggae sway Politics are really meaningless Morals give you thoughts you can confess Talk is cheap, but fun at very best Leaves me in disarray These are the systems of dysfunction Likely to bring about destruction And like you we seek compassion But sometimes it doesn’t happen A busy day those shoppers have their needs They behave sometimes their nice to me To reach out and touch is blasphemy I won’t remember their names A joke or smile it means a lot to me Shattered people hide their agony Is love real it’s better to believe And dance my reggae sway And dance my reggae sway The times are strange but sweet they ought to be A lonely soul once tried to talk to me I was tired feeling empty Lord And now they’ve gone away And now they’ve gone away

The Times Are Strange But Sweet

The times are strange but sweet, they ought to be Coffee shops, Atomic submarines Lonely people sit and talk to me It’s just another day Waiting with my phone, it never rings TV’s plastic personality Emulate the Star’s that I have seen And dance my reggae sway And dance my reggae sway Politics are really meaningless Morals give you thoughts you can confess Talk is cheap, but fun at very best Leaves me in disarray These are the systems of dysfunction Likely to bring about destruction And like you we seek compassion But sometimes it doesn’t happen A busy day those shoppers have their needs They behave sometimes their nice to me To reach out and touch is blasphemy I won’t remember their names A joke or smile it means a lot to me Shattered people hide their agony Is love real it’s better to believe And dance my reggae sway And dance my reggae sway The times are strange but sweet they ought to be A lonely soul once tried to talk to me I was tired feeling empty Lord And now they’ve gone away And now they’ve gone away

What would you do if your world were blue You're down and out as the limousine passes you What will you do when your dreams all fall through And who will you blame for your sadness and your gloom? I tell you, you can do anything you want at all! And in the dark of the very next room Asthmatic gunshots, those sirens in tune Pull your self up by the bootstraps and all They say you're going down, but the writings here on the walls I tell you, you can do anything you want at all! That pounding sound, at the door or my head? Start dancing now or soon you'll be dead Then you can rise, your eyes beaming instead Candlewax tease as you're tied down in bed I tell you, you can do anything you want at all! You've got to write it You've got to ride it You've got a right You've got the will You've got to fight it You've got to like it You've got to try it You must do well

He was a paranoid He was a schizoid He thought he was living on an asteroid Until he went to the policeman's ball He still believes in Sigmund Freud He's feeling guilty since he was a boy He was a paranoid Until he went to the policeman's ball When he doesn't think he's been acting right He's sure he'll be attacked at night Looking at people with such fear in is eyes It's a wonder that he ever survives He was a paranoid

On the streets of the West Bank The game was nearly finished I am in other rooms People are talking while battles are being lost! A great pool of darkness opens And an invitation comes to fall and fall If this life is blowing your mind And confusion's all around And if you just, don't know where to go Proceed to the Lobby The Ant like creatures will meet you there Program you for a brave new world Ask me why, but I really don't care What you thought and who you were Proceed to the Lobby!

Painless, it was the word of the day Grateful, for the endorphins they gained Angels, swing down with leather above Shock-waves, roaring in chemical love The slaves that I whip are chained to the steeple I am the Church of the Chemical People

We were partying hearty on a Saturday night We had drugs, beer, and women We were doing alright There was an eight foot **** in the middle of the room My brother was in back, he was sniffing glue YA! Reed and Malloy cruising the street Busting all the criminals that they meet Making LA safe for the meek Reed and Malloy they're cruising the street Reed said to Malloy We've got to get another drug dealer, boy That's when they came to my house They heard all the noise Reed and Malloy are on my front porch Knock!, knock!!, knock!!! This is officers Reed and Malloy We know you have underage women in there Drinking and doing LSD Y'all better come out of there or You'll find yourself wholly under ARREST!

****** about on broken wings Your dying friends still have their dreams Service sector robot screams Rich pigs they buy you golden things Finding joy in crystal streams Ocean drowns out all her screams I suppose it's better than what it seems No home is safer than where she's been Eighteen years old and she's my LA ***** I got her off the junk But I sleep here in her floor Eighteen years old and she's seen it all She say's I won't live long, So Love me now child Just love me now Grandpa loved her when she was born Daddy's dead either or long gone Social worker lost that file again She treats her clients just like friends **** by the dumpster and you won't miss ****** psychiatrist ***** and stabbed are common things But in the shower she still sings Eighteen years old and she's seen it all She say's we won't live long, So Love me now child Just love me now

Take a trip around the world Never know if you’re a boy of a girl Too much I said now that’s for sure Take a trip around the world Flying high across the sky Twisted people with demented minds Electric carpet designs arrive I was really alive I was nearly alive Never mind about what you’ve heard No time now for the written word So what if your life’s absurd You might be from another world Weird colors at the end of day The couch is floating in a foreign way So you think you might come out to play What would all those creatures say? Flying high across the sky Twisted people with demented minds Electric carpet designs arrive I was really alive I was nearly alive
