The Refreshments Album

So just how far down do you want to go
Or we could talk it out over a cup of joe
And you could look deep into my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Uh-huh

Well, it's you and me baby no one else we can trust
We'll say nothin' to no one no how or we bust
And never crack a smile
Or flinch or cry for nobody
Uh-uh

Chorus:
Well give your ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause he won't speak English anyway

Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there

Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol so I'll keep the Pesos
Yeah and that seems fair

So put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
And slash the deputy's tires and they won't get very far
When they finally get the word
That there's been a hold-up uh-huh

Chorus

Chorus

Well I could see by the way that she danced with me
She want to break my heart
want to tear it apart
Yah and I could see by the way she dance with me
If I give her ten dollars I could get anything that I want
So what's a girl like you doing in a place like this
Lets forget that I asked won't you give me a kiss
So stop biting my fingernails
They're starting to bleed
Let's skip the formalities
And get down to what we're here for

I'll do anything for you
Anything that you want me to
It's just going to take
A little more money

Do anything for you
Anything that you want me to
It's just going to take
A little more money

So this big old guys comes up to me
And say's Skinny white boy
I don't like the way you look at my girlfriend
What an ugly thing to say
I say don't flatter yourself
I don't think that much of your girlfriend

So that big old guy socks me in the nose
I falls on my back and gets blood on my clothes
He say's Heah skinny white boy
What do you think about that
I says it doesn't change much
I still don't think much of you girlfriend

I'll do anything for you
Anything that you want me to
It's just going to take
A little more money

Do anything for you
Anything that you want me to
It's just going to take
A little more money

Well I could see by the way that she danced with me
She want to break my heart
want to tear it apart
Yah and I could see by the way she danced with me
If I give her ten dollars I could get anything that I want

' So what's a girl like you doing in a place like this
Lets forget that I asked won't you give me a kiss
So stop biting my fingernails
They're starting to bleed
Let's skip the formalities
And get down to what we're here for

I'll do anything for you

Never gave thought to fashion till
Someone said I looked like you
Never gave thought to passion till
Someone said I screw like you
Baby I was never cool enough
To get a job at a record store
But if I had I wouldn't want you anymore

Never gave thought to rash'in till
Someone said I had a rash like you
Never gave thought to mashin' till
Someone said I mashed like you

Baby I was never cool enough
To get a job at a record store
But if I had I wouldn't want you
Wouldn't want you...

See Dick
See Jane
See how they both complain
See how they go round and round again
Over nothin at all
Me Dick
You Jane
See how we all complain
See we get all wrapped up
Over nothin at all

Here's the suckerpunch

Never gave thought to crashing till
Someone said I crashed a lot like you
Never gave thought to passion till
Someone said I screw like you

Baby I was never cool enough
To get a job at a record store
But if I had I wouldn't want you
Wouldn't want you...

See Dick
See Jane
See how they both complain
See how they go round and round
Over nothin at all
You Dick
Me Jane
See how we both complain
See we get all rapped up
Over nothin at all

Here's the suckerpunch

Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That ok I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man
He'll say he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation

I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know

Well I don't wanna know

We've been saying we're going go somewhere
For a long long time
Nothing ever happens
Why's it never happen

Ya We've been prayin' we're going get somewhere
For a long long time
But it never happens
Why's it never happen

I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know

Cause I don't wanna know

Barkeep
Another Mekong please
Yes of course,
you can keep the change

A new glass here
for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name
Flip a coin
What shall we talk about
Heads I tell the truth
and tails I lie

Well I came all the way
From Taipei today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain
and I'm going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl
for fifteen thousand miles

But is it true
It's always happy hour here
and if it is I'd
like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Barkeep
We need to go around again
One for me and what's his name
My new best friend
Deal me in and I'll
pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see a lucky coin
And raise a pack of lies

Smile to the girl at the door
Another 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes
She'll break your heart

We came all the way
From Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain
and we're going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl
in fifteen thousand miles

Well is it true
It's always happy hour here
And if it is I'd
like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Well is it true
It's always happy hour here
And if it is I'd
like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time

Well as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time

And here's to life
Here's to life
Here's to life
Here's to life
Again

I'm going to the hardware store
And buy you a great big hammer
Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart
And I'm goin' to the sporting goods store
And buy you a really heavy baseball bat
Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head

Beat me till I'm black and blue
And I'm hangin' by a thread
And I can get back up
And we'll do it all over again

I'm goin' to a liquor store
And buy you a really big bottle
Girly won't you pour some light into my life

Then I'm goin' to the firearms store
And buy a really big hand gun
Girly won't you blows these thoughts
Out of this head of mine

Beat me till I'm black and blue
And I'm very nearly dead
And I'll get back up
And we'll do it all over again

Again Again Again

First verse is the same as the first!
I'm going to the hardware store
And buy you a great big hammer
Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart

And I'm goin' to the sporting goods store
And buy you a really big baseball bat
Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head

Beat me till I'm black and blue
And and my body's bloody red
And I'll can get back up
And we'll do it all over again

Here comes another song about Mexico
I just can't help myself
I lost my old lady
Got my lures
Got my bobbers
Now I'm gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go

Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go

Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

We could write our names here in the mud
No one's around to see them
We could hang our shoes here in a tree
No one's around to steal them
I could give you a star
You could give me one too
And that way we'd be even
And I could sing a song way out of tune
And not care a bit about it

We could both wear cowboy hats
And pretend that we could speak Italian
I could eat some gum
And make my breath so minty fresh
To kiss you
Your breath will smell like wine
I like that a lot
Especially when I kiss you
And I could hit my funny bone real hard
And you could call me sweetheart

And whoever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about individuals
But he's dead anyways

So let's go down together
Down together

Lets go down
Together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down
Together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down
Together
Down together
Down together

Yeah let's go!

We could all wear ripped up clothes
And pretend that we were Dead Hot Workshop
I could drive long long way
And not even have the gas to make it back
We could chase our shadows around the lawn
Until we're both exhausted
I could forget the words here one more time
and hope that no one notices

And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about me

Yeah well,
What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
And what's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me

Well, cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
So lets go
Down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down
Together
Down together
Down together
Let's go down
Together
Down together
Down together
Let's go down
Together
Down together
Down together
Yeah, Let's go!

All right, all right!

We could find a speck of dust and scribble down our life stories...

If I was a killer, how would I kill?
I'd use the government.
If I was a dreamer, what would I dream?
I'd dream about yesterday.
If I was a dancer, where would I dance?
Out in the graveyard!

You can say anything that you wanna say
Be anything that you wanna be
Pray anywhere that you think that you gotta pray, yea.
Don't you count on me.

If I was a teacher, what would I teach?
I'd teach corruption.
If I was a preacher, what would I preach?
I'd preach hypocrisy.
If I was a dancer, where would I dance?
Out in the graveyard!

You can say anything that you wanna say
Be anything that you wanna be
Pray anywhere that you think that you gotta pray, yea.
Don't you count on me.

Me............Yea.

If I was a gambler, what would I bet?
I'd bet your life.
If I was an angel, what would I save?
I'd save my money.
If I was a dancer, where would I dance?
Out in the graveyard!

You can say anything that you wanna say
Be anything that you wanna be
Pray anywhere that you think that you gotta pray, yea.
Don't you count on me.

You can say anything that you wanna say
Be anything that you wanna be
Pray anywhere that you think that you gotta pray, yea.
Don't you count on me.

Don't mean no harm
No cause for alarm
My hands are tied behind me
It's well known
The way you've grown
So come sit down beside me
If I told you once
I told you once
And once is all that you needed

Just let me hear
What you got to hear

Well I can take care of everything
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree

Calm down she said
Lie back your head
Your voice is sounding hysterical
Your face is red
And you reasoning dead

You sound nonsensical

Something you got to hear
Let me make myself clear
Your not the first to get physical

Take your pill
And you might feel a chill

Well I can take care of everthing
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree

And I will always keep the upper hand
And I can change your angry young man
To a fashion show
With brand name clothes
I'm carefree

Well I can take care of everthing
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree

And I will always keep the upper hand
And I can change your angry young man
To a fashion show
With brand name clothes
I'm carefree

I see the lightning from the storm down in Mexico
And I see my speedometer doesn't work
I cross the desert and disappear into the tumbleweeds
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

I hear the thunder from the storm down in Mexico
And I leave the border far behind
I feel the dust coat my teeth and turn my sweat to mud
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I've been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
to come alive

I feel the wind blow from the storm down in Mexico
Gasoline for another hundred miles
I cross the river and leave my shoes up on the other side
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
Been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun-cracked soul of mine
to come alive

Come alive, yeah

Well, I feel the rain drops from the storm down in Mexico
Truck will go no further, out of gas
I walk through the desert past the lizard and rattlesnake
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
There ain't no morals to these stories at all
And everything I tell you, you can bet will be a lie
I been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun-cracked numb-inside soul of mine
to come alive

Come alive, come alive
Come alive.
