Meat Puppets Album

In some forgettable rhyme
We crawled across the border line
We kissed the enemy till
I thought we traveled out of time

You couldn't have heard me speak
There was, so it did seem, I say
A fog so heavy that I
Could not tell if it was night or day
Hand over all water
You know that means business
Scum

Under the stone
We find the scum
Under the stars
We find the scum

I thought a beautiful thing
A fire was lit within my mind
On ruby hummingbird wings
Went shivering up and down my spine

The water that quit our thirst
Was not from earthly vineyards mined
And then we drunkenly sailed
The gutter of our invisible shrines

I fall towards a flash of light
That burns the seed of life away
No thing is changed
Nothing arranged
No thing will ever be

There's no place
Clear dry space
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it
I'm nothing

My heart is gone I missed the point
I sleep to dream I'm wide awake
Nothing is near or far away
Nothing awaits to be

Here I stand
Tongue in hand
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it

I'm nothing
I think perhaps I'll live to lie
Awake to fall asleep to fall
Into a trance in which I dream
I lived and walked upon

If I only can't decide
The crystal eight ball's on the table
Thanks for nothing
Here's my only prayer
Thin air

Long ago
The other night
Far, far away

As the head falls off the table
Crashes to the floor and shatters
Dust and glass are blowing everywhere
Down there

Through the wall I hear you laughing
You're so special I don't like you
You will always be my only friend
No end

Lost in the eyes
Back through the eyes
Where the simmering rain
Has come boiling over again

Locked in a cage
Down in the cave
Where the night never ends
But nighttime was always a friend

As I walk together
So I drift away

You say
It's just the taste of the sun you're after
But you're calling out to the wind
In your broken laughter

Locked in a cage
Down in the cave
Where the night never ends
But nighttime was always a friend
Touched by some hand
Born stupid
I'm at your disposal again

Lost in my room
Locked open
The sparkling shadows of dance
I'm endlessly caught in this weight

As I'm lying there
Cold comforts blown from nowhere
And blue light is on the ground
And the coloring
Is changing reflecting everything
From cold mirrors all around

I see candles
On the mountain
I see the vampires
That surround them

Shaking shaking
I see the candles on the mountain

In the still of the night
We stop breathing from this atmosphere
For no air is all around
And the running vein
Is sung softly by the candle light
To cold waters underground

As I'm lying there
Cold comforts blown from nowhere
And blue light is on the ground
And the coloring is changing reflecting everything
From cold mirrors all around

This rendered me silent
Tuneless, only petrified
Roads leading to nowhere
Twisting through it's silver hair

In time I got me the lucky right
To see it in an apple light
I'll always remember right
To see it in an apple light

Sleep, asleep in an old chair
Stupor of another time
Thoughts circling nowhere
Captured in a bed of lime

Once while I was watching
Something got a piece of me
Now, now I can tell you
Why I am incomplete

Now the predator is in sight
It sees me in an apple light
I'll always remember right
To see it in an apple light

Lights blowing away
Came untied in a hurricane

Behind the shadow of the wind
The wave is sharp and narrow
To find the needles eye then
To fire with poison arrows

I've counted to one
And so believe this is yesterday

All flying away
Seems impaled on a candy sword

Four skulls in a square of bushes
Fireworks now and all were wed
They loved and walked and fed on garbage
Moved pool tables with bad backs

Since I hurt myself
I feel so much better
Suck my eyeball

Alcohol was pouring through the victims
As on the rocks they laid their breath
Alcohol was fed to the mummies
As they all were happily led to death

Take yourself a photo of my backside
Printed up on the front page
Not too sweet, not too strong
Pins, combs, picks and magic sage

One small touch
Now that's all
This one's for everyone
No more of anything

Here before it's begun
The battle for the future has been won
Here before it's been told
The story of the future has been sold

Dust from scratch
Not for sale
It's free for everyone
This stylish currency

One small touch
Not for sale
It's free for everyone
No more of anything

More and more I find
I thought I lost what I left behind
On and on it goes
Through the door and away it goes

So I'll find myself a new pair of shoes
Make myself a new pair of shoes

Up and down my spine
Feeling broken and now I find
That's the way it's been
My bottom teeth are made of tin

Find myself a new pair of shoes
Make myself a new pair of shoes
Grow myself
Steal myself
Make myself a new pair of shoes

Down and out of time
Slipping underneath the slime
Out the monkey hole
Pay for things I thought I stole

Can you tell my the way it oughta feel
When I'm walking down the road
And I'm looking for a deal
Can you tell 'bout the way I better go
When the sun is coming up
And my shadow starts to show

Hiding out in a cave up in the hills
With a rabbit and a rooster
And some elevating pills
See me round every Monday afternoon
With eleven dog eared doughnuts
And a giant pink baboon

More and more I find
There's not a lot that I left behind
On the lawn it grows
Find the wind and the way it blows

I realize and I
I gotta get away
I feel alive and I
I go be dead today
I eat some flies and I
I pick ticks off my eyes and
Fry some broken auto parts and
Fly electric monkey carts

Gotta run gotta hide
Gotta get away
Gotta run gotta get away

I see the sky and I
Crawl in a hole and die
I see the rain and
Ride your brand new choo choo train
Find that lovely lizards fly
Try some brain goo picnic pie
Blind no arms no head no leg
Fried another rotten egg
Babe's born to beg

Don't you cry for me
Don't cry for me
Set your neighbors free
Then count to three
Neath the rotten log
Inflatable dog
Long and made of gold
And the corpse is growing cold

I realize and I
I gotta get away
I feel alive and I
I go be dead today
I eat some flies and I
I pick ticks off my eyes and
Fry some other auto parts and
Fly electric monkeys carts

Gotta run gotta hide
Gotta get away
Gotta run gotta get away
Molten human spray

Thieves have brought us invisible make-up
The fires are growing hypnotically thin
Fish are leading us out of the water
Spineless majesty swallows a grin

There's a seed on the wind
There's a rose in the seed
On the petals of the rose
Is the smell of sweet ammonia

Frozen cherubs alight in a glowing tree
Copper locust, invisible string
Fried robots are blowing sweet melodies
Silver frogs in lava stream sing

I am the light beam I am the rock
I think I am I think I am
I am the lime doll I am the dog
I think I am I think I am

Pulled a muscle inside my thinking
Not using my head for while
Unearthing the tunneling underground
I bury my head in the sky

Saw it in Braile
Come randomly pouring out
In a wave of black ice
And nighttime and then
In a fast moving storm
With singalong thunderclouds
The soft explosion
Of dayfall and then

Orange and blue
The fire is starting
Shimmering through
The chemical garden
I am not alone
Stumbling through
The chemical garden

Behind these black eyes
A story is playing out
Atop a cloudy hill
The verdict is read
On every lip
The sound of the feather falls
A wave of nighttime's
Electrical head

Though I refuse to see
I'm suddenly shown
Cut through the sweetest parts
To get to the bone
