Jenny and Johnny Album

She runs with scissors
She delivers
All my mail
Right under my door

You're sincerely
Lost completely

She ain't a princess
But she's an artist
Painting a portrait
All over my heart

Colors bleeding
So deceiving

No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring

A scissor runner stole my heart

I was on standby
Catching the red eye
I missed my flight
She didn't mind

I'll forgive you
If I outlive you

No I won't change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring

A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart
A scissor runner stole my heart

Uptown, downtown, all around the swingset
You say what you want I don't ever lose bets
Find me layin' low in the San Fernando
You ask me well I say I don't know

Jenny:
And I don't believe in double vision
And I don't think that two heads are better than one
All I can see is ouroboros
When my pet snakes are sizing me up

And if you don't believe in destiny,
Then take what you're given
Oh, you and I got caught between magic and business

Johnny:
We walked in on you while you were polishing your knives
(Jenny: While your eyes were turning green)
Sleeping in a twin bed with a serpent by your side
(Are you trying to compete with me?)
Talk a lot of shit but you would never start a fight
(Fantasize about killing me)
God it makes me queasy when you smile
(Through your jealousy)

Jenny:
And I don't believe in sucking your way to the top
Fingers crossed, you're flipping me off
No, I don't need your supervision
I'll sink this ship if I want

And if you don't believe in chemistry,
Then what were we doing?
Oh, you and I had everything
From rebirth to ruin

Johnny:
Well, every time you come around I have to run and hide
(Jenny: And your eyes, are they bleeding?)
I get claustrophobic even when I am outside
(Are you trying to put a hex on me?)
I thought we were brothers, man I thought that we were tight
(But your bite is so evil)
Sucking out the venom of your bite
(As you poison me)

Johnny:
Hey, dad. Hello?

Jenny:
And I don't believe that paradise is lost
I say this with my fingers crossed

And if you don't believe in prophecy
Decide when it's finished
Oh, you and I tried everything
From heroin to Guinness

Johnny:
2009 it was a bastard of a year
(Jenny: lalala, pass the joint to me)
I cannot get stoned no more I only get the fear
(These good times, they are killin' me)
We can have it out or we can have another beer
(I could lie so we're even)
All the best of luck with your career

It's been one long year of Saturday nights
In the city of a billion suns
Sleeping through the afternoon
With your latest only one
You had her every way from Sunday
And on Monday morning too

You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

See you on the way up
Or the way down
See you on the way down
Or the way up
See you on the way up
Or the way down

It was poverty that kept you sweet
And dreams that kept you young
The money started rolling in
You stopped having any fun

You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

see you on the way up
or the way down
see you on the way down
or the way up
see you on the way up
or the way down

You used to dine out on a dollar
With your switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

See you on the way up
Or the way up
See you on the way down
Or the way up
See you on the way up
Or the way down

Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
We're spending what we haven't made

And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But still the banks gotta break

'Cause the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books all fried
You are bankrupting
Because all the loans you take

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave

I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
So there are these little pills I been takin'
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And wakin' up in the water

And the feeling's a lie
But the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave

I know you feel deprived
(You don't trust me)
Our love is still alive
(You never touch me)
It's really just that I don't feel
Like it much these days

And my love's a lie
'Cause the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I have been corrupted
'Cause all the lovers I take

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
You're gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave

Big wave, da da da
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave

I laughed while you were sleeping
While Abraham shaped your side
Never loved you less, never loved you more
As when Sirius hung in the sky

A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I a lamb dreaming I was a lamb?
Or am I asleep in the clover tonight?

While men are dreaming
they know it not a dream
Upon wakin', we're fools again
What if we're sleeping?

A memory is a memory
And a dream is a liar
Was I meant to never see you again
Or am I dreaming asleep by your side?

We must modernize Jerusalem
Detonate the temples, let them fall over the ?

We will organize in Bethlehem
Able-bodied women and agnostic headstrong men

Oh, we'll meet at 10

If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart

Oh

Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal

We must rearrange reality, shuffle all the cards
Pair the joker with the queen, just to make her scream
To destroy all our enemies, must investigate our friends
Find the ones who don't believe
Hang them from the trees

If you lose your fear of God, you are an animal at heart

Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal

Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal
Show your teeth to everyone, don't let no one prove you wrong
You are an animal, an animal, an animal

Up on Mount Olympus, livin' on a pile of trash
With all the lunatics; how they worship me
What are you going to do with the back of that ticket?
That's my number but, I'll call you

There's nothing less I'd rather do

You've been sniffing up that mercury
From a broken thermometer
Like a cloud gatherer, just like Zeus

Out at the car show
She does word jumbles*
Like seeing a cold sore in a kissing booth

There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do

And I, I live with the shame
But you live with the same, same

Livin' on milk duds and therapeutic mud
Ninety days at promises with no booze
Outside of Silver Lake, I am the biggest fake
Like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre

There's nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather do
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather
Nothing less I'd rather do

And I, I live with the flames
But you, you're taking the blame, blame

There's nothing less I'd rather do

I was running
From imaginary vampire bats
I was shrieking at the moon
While Montezuma laughed

Oh, as ? blues
And reds and greens and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm 100 years old

Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you

I was making love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my old big? dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye

If I could give myself some advice
I'd go out of my mind right now
I'd stay here with my baby
Forever in the here and now

Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you

I was returning my ?
To the rattan and paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag

My sister's formed with flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An ancient child prodigy
A genius who inspires

Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
With you
With you

Slavedriver take me home, I need a master
I’ll beg for mercy and you’ll whip me faster
Some boys want freedom man, they have to wonder
I only need four walls, my heart grows fonder
I’ll take the weight off any of your shoulders

There are so many ways to please your lover
I speak when spoken to, I sweep the ashes
I get my sweet reward of forty lashes
I’ll take the weight off any of your shoulders
You know, you know

You can tie my hands behind my back
Now when I ask you to attract
I will not tell you not to stop, oh

Feeling in my mind I can’t describe
Can’t define I only know
That I want more, more

I’ll take the weight, you take the reins
