1. BONE MACHINE

You're into Japanese fast food
And I drop you off with your Japanese lover
And you go to the beach all day
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me

You're looking like
You've got some sun
Your blistered lips
Have got a kiss
They taste a bit like everyone

Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine

I was talking to preachy-preach about kissy-kiss
Buy me a soda
Buy me a soda and try to molest me in the parking lot

I make you break
You make me hard
Your Irish skin
Looks Mexican
Our love is rice and beans and horse's lard
Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine


2. BREAK MY BODY

I'm the hard looser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us rolling on the dirty floor

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones

I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones

Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her


3. SOMETHING AGAINST YOU

Here it comes

I have something against you
You have something against me
I have something against you

You have something against me
I have something against you
And I'm gonna use it
I am one happy prick


4. BROKEN FACE

I got a broken face
I got a
I got a broken face
I got a broken face
I got a broken face

There was this boy who had two
Children with his sisters
They were his daughters
They were his favorite lovers

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
I got a broken face

There was this man who snapped his poke
In little pieces
And then they drilled holes
And then they put them back in there

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
I got a broken face

The little thing who loves my laundry
Speaks no English
But if you saw her
You'd say "hey, isn't she lovely?"

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue


5. GIGANTIC

And this I know
His teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day
Into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said

Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love

Lovely legs they are
What a big black mess
What a hunk of love
Walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him

Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love


6. RIVER EUPHRATES

Ride, ride, ride

Stuck here out of gas
Out here on the Gaza Strip
From driving in too fast

Let's ride the Tiger down river Euphrates

Ride, ride, ride

Dead sea make it float
One sip from the salty wine
Dead sea make you choke

Let's ride the Tiger down river Euphrates


7. WHERE IS MY MIND

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Trying to talk to me, coy

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimming

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah


8. CACTUS

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

I put it on when I grow lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me

I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore


9. TONY’S THEME

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It's called Tony's Theme

He's got the oil on his chain, for a ride in the rain
No baloney
Ride around on my bicycle like a pony
I'm waving hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Gu-gu-gu-gimme a scream
Give me, give me the theme
Of Tony

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

I am Tony, super bicycle Tony, I'm racing
Spitfire turn and pop a wheelie, burn and evil chasing
I'm waving bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
I got a card in my spokes
I'm practicing my joke, I'm learning

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It's called Tony's theme

I can look at the sun if you give me some bad sun glasses
I'm back on the road, I cut my grass like I'm told
After classes

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny


10. OH MY GOLLY

11. VAMOS

Estaba pensando sobreviviendo con mi sister en New Jersey
Ella me dijo que es una vida buena alla
Bien rica bien chevere, y voy puneta

I was thinking surviving with my sister in New Jersey
She told me it's a good life there
Very good very nice, here I go, jerk off

We'll keep well bred
We'll stay well fed
We'll have our sons
They will be all well hung

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your mamma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she's really OK

Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa

I keep getting friends
Looking like lesbians
If we get bored
We'll move to California

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your mamma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she's really ok

Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa
Vamos a jugar por la playa


12. I’M AMAZED

Girls and fucked them at school
All I know is that
There were rumours he was into field hockey players
There were rumours
So I applied basically
He was gone the next day
I went out for the team
It's like he was gone, they'd just like
It was like so hush hush
They were so quiet about it
And then the next thing you know

The day before that I was wed
She went upstairs and she cut her hair away

I'm amazed
I'm amazed
I'm amazed

And when I was a little boy
A ball of string my parents took from me

I'm amazed
I'm amazed
I'm amazed

Before I died, I took my Honda
And packed it up, up, up to Arizona, honey

I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed
I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed
I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed
I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed


13. BRICK IS RED

A fist is fast
And Jimmy's cast
Hang me

A white moon's hot
The other side's not
Hang me

It's not time for me for me to go
It's not time for me for me to go

My eyes have turned
Just the color of diamond
Just the color
The frayed color of ice

I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where I was born

Lets me knife
Knife me lets

17. ED IS DEAD

Her head is in a bitter way
Her brain's on fire
She's just looking for the perfect wave
It's her brain's desire
I'll think of her when I walk the strand
On this true Hermosa night

Ed is dead (4x)

She's just rotting in stupid bliss
With music on her bars uh
Her face burning in the L.A. sun
She got no got no fear of cars
I better kick my strand cruiser
To the friendlier oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ed is dead (4x)

Ed is dead
Ed is, yeah Ed is
Ed is dead (3x)
E.I.D. (3x)

No, no, no, no, no


18. THE HOLIDAY SONG

Well sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand

He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand


19. NIMROD'S SON

One night upon my motorcycle through the desert spead
And smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
"You are the son of a mother fucker"

One two three four

I shook all night and held her hand
Chocolate people well I'll be damned
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-haaa
The joke has come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been aking all the holes where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often said
"You are the son of incestuous union"

One two three

Now my head is clear
My luke hands washed
My daughter's pure
My son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-ha Ha-ha
The joke has come upon me


20. I'VE BEEN TIRED

One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk"
"Politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said
"Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no shit because..."

I've been tired (6x)

I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape the ways she raise me
She'll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one
(And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?)
Took my sleep after setting my loins on fire
But that's OK because...

I've been tired (6x)

I've been tired (9x)
T-i-r-e-d spells it
Spells it
