Bitch nation 02:50
Bitch Nation dances til the break of dawn long after the last of the guests has gone a tumbleweed tumbles across her front lawn then she sleeps with the TV on oo then she sleeps with the TV on There's a puddle in the driveway from last night's rain a car up on blocks and a dog on a chain it's actually simple but it's hard to explain oo she sleeps with the TV on oo she sleeps with the TV on The sharp smell of gunpowder in the air means meat on the table means Tienemien square it's hard to know which though if you're not from there oo she sleeps with the TV on oo she sleeps with the TV on There's a rock concert poster thumbtacked to her door cat litter scattered all over the floor she hears the rumors of famines and wars as she sleeps with the TV on oo as she sleeps with the TV on Bitch Nation dances til the break of dawn long after the last of the guests has gone a tumbleweed tumbles across her front lawn then she sleeps with the TV on then she sleeps with the TV on

Beachball 01:29
The weak spot on a beachball is the valve if you don't count the smell or the fact that the harder you hit it the slower it seems to go til the wind blows and takes it away to the side of the bay where the guard at the gate has a gun and a phone and a radio You say the world isn't fair you say you don't care you say it was cheap and you tell me the damn thing never did hold air hold air as we watch it float toward the boats over there where the guard at the gate has a gun and a phone and a radio The weak spot on a beachball is the valve if you don't count the smell or the fact that the harder you hit it the slower it seems to go till the wind blows and takes it away to the side of the bay where the guard at the gate has a gun and a phone and a radio.

Angels may 01:59
Angels may come and stand around you and if you don't chase them away you're sure to go home with the feeling that this is your lucky day And they may laugh and they may tease you and they may take you by the hand and on a good day they may feed you ravioli right out of the can Angels may come and stand around you and if you don't chase them away you're sure to go home with the feeling that this is your lucky day And they may laugh and they may tease you and they may take you by the hand and on a good day they may feed you ravioli right out of the can.

Long ago 03:20
Long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth Eons it spun 'round the earth and the sun until it was perfectly round and I have been waiting an hour now for a bus on the outskirts of town Long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth Maybe this bus doesn't run anymore or maybe the schedule is wrong walking is out of the question from here it's raining and my youth is gone Long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth long ago before the world had cooled the moon flew out of the earth

The walk to the god house seems to take forever people seldom go that way the path is like a cemetary groups tend to string out over miles 'cause the people want to just be left alone And the walk to the god house often ends in disappointment 'cause the gods there don't move anymore they sit on the same damp stones in the same damp glass cages just like they sat there a hundred years before The walk to the god house seems to take forever people seldom go that way the path is like a cemetary groups tend to string out over miles 'cause the people want to just be left alone And the walk to the god house often ends in a picnic the people try to break that god house spell 'cause it always leaves them empty and it always leaves them hungry and it always leaves them feeling unwell The walk to the god house seems to take forever people seldom go that way the path is like a cemetary groups tend to string out over miles 'cause the people want to just be left alone 'cause the people want to just be left alone 'cause the people want to just be left alone 'cause the people want to just be left alone

I've been hiding for a year in a cave near Forchheim evenings I can faintly hear the autobahn there are wild pigs and deer and if I had a rifle I think I could hold out here forever O Canada O Canada O Canada I'm down to my last few packs of cigarettes all the sugar smacks are gone and so is all my money I came seeking peace and truth three months ago I lost a tooth and came down with a cough that just won't go away O Canada O Canada O Canada An angel came last night to say that Buddha just can't hit the B the root note in the last chord of the last chorus well you know it's not that easy if you've ever played a fretless and hell he's only had the thng since Christmas O Canada O Canada O Canada I've been hiding for a year in a cave near Forchheim evenings I can faintly hear the autobahn there are wild pigs and deer and if I had a rifle I think I could hold out here forever O Canada O Canada O Canada

Fireball 02:21
Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar as he drives his race car through turn six at Riverside in a powerslide He used to play the cello in a jazz band O so mellow and so low the guys would close their eyes and say go man go Well there ain't now sunshine when she's gone and there ain't no peace when she's at home If it had been a boxing match they'd say he tried to save the bout with a sunday punch and a knockout in the last round He braked too late in the back straight hit the wall they all say that car was a fireball before it hit the ground And there ain't no sunshine when she's gone and there ain't no peace when she's at home Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar as he drives his race car through turn six a Riverside in a powerslide He braked too late in the back straight hit the wall they all say that car was a fireball before it hit the ground And there ain't no sunshine when she's gone and there ain't no peace when she's a home

I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars and I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars if I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars to soothe my troubled soul The hard ways all hurt your back and tend to cost more time than you're willing to spend make you feel like you've been robbed in the end you think I wish I never had to do that again I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars and I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars if I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars to soothe my troubled soul I go out and check the prices of exciting new devices all designed to beat the boredom love to buy but I can't afford 'em I know some hard ways to earn a hundred dollars and I know some easy ways to lose a hundred dollars If I could only find a way to use a hundred dollars to soothe my troubled soul

The first guy I know who died I can't remember his name the tenth grade started he just never came again all his friends sat around and cried for a day or two You can say what you want about immortal soul when that guy died it left a hole it was my first clue that when they're gone they're gone (chorus) Maybe Jesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe you'll come back some day a a king prawn Maybe angels come and take you away to heaven or the other way but from down here it appears that when they're gone they're gone Me and Stevie Gibson used to walk home from school he used to have this little turn around rule if you turn around the one way gotta turn around the other way or it's bad luck He went out rafting on the river the river went around and the raft went around and his luck got all wound up and he drowned and he was gone (chorus) Two weeks after Dieter died you could call him on the phone and he would tell you that he's not home and it gave you an eerie feeling even though you knew it was just an answering machine 'Cause somewhere deep inside you know that they don't come back when they go and he had gone and when they're gone they're gone (chorus) My mother died in intensive care we were sitting around singing on folding chairs when I got the feeling somebody wasn't there Well I counted noses but it came out right the doctors said she died that night but I felt that hole and I knew that she had gone (chorus) I looked up death in the dictionary one day just to see what the dictionary had to say it's the complete and irreversible cessation of life functions Which is not very poetic but it's precise and clean and if you analyze it what that means is when they're gone they're gone (chorus)

And now I'd like to play you one of two songs that I know there's mary had a little lamb and heart and soul And of those two songs heart and soul would be the better choice scientifically arranged for trash guitar and voice It goes on forever you can play and play and play until the neighbors call or you just let it fade away
