My Bed 03:34
My Bed. copyright all lyrics Gretchen Seichrist come on and in be in the show you’re the one for the job remember your rock and roll reputation turned gold cross? and how i wore it off? do what feels right - do what feels good - but Shawna is just a kid (with a wig) did you hear me... what i said? it’s only a wig - and you’re lost you can’t hunt me down without losing your mind fire in the closet,can’t you see? stay and play razor blades down your arm Elvis Presley, is a blond hanging- on hanging on can you hear the voices crack? they suffered with life all so sweet leave my roses in the absences and green green come with me Your hall is all electric your thoughts they start to feel what stops you from correcting the last tenants bad deal you have the attention of the room the tender - hearted just start gasping when they play that anthem to soon in every anthem sung in my bed.. what i said- it’s only a wig do what feels right - do what feels good, but Shawna is just a kid (with a wig) did you hear me what i said? it’s only a wig and you’re tossed

pretty good red luck the snake, the pinch Porter comes in at 10 jokes, smokes, reads the notes Mitch he showed his new shoes put 'em up in the air smiled gold tooth Miss Shirley says you guys need to stop.... laughs and walks off down the hall she goes to dispense he waits and slips the key chain off the wall the key chain off the wall come looking for the crook they outnumber the beds he’s all the way to Natchez i’m just a walking cradle i’m just a talking book sweet memories baby hair- naive bikinis dreams to animals and you know... you can’t wipe it off You can’t wipe it off coachers and rowers tangled in trees i can see through forests and bunch of cheats collate never mind the run off she’s the whole world in your hands put that eye in the mirror i’ll buy your freedom now pretty good red luck figure eight and play and pretty good red luck and...

L- I -T-S (LOST IN THE SHUFFLE) neighbor moved in and brought me down to size thought maybe we had something in common she was a marble and i guess he just snapped.... great sunrise holy eyes disappointed on my side sits in her chair forty years get your feet off my new table —————where is that damn remote? is that guilt that petrified? who will teach him how to drive? be mother and father - money maker? be hopeful when all the therapists whine? keep him away from porn sites? make him believe what he can’t find? he was L.I.T.S lost in the shuffle he came to love but was sent away he came to get back and partly confess he was lost in the shuffle he must be from a mess a loneliness and my lack of success he was lost in the shuffle he gets new wife and they get new kids plus the ones she had you're part shore man and you're part myth being caught and look up he was sneaking out of the driveway when you were getting up, i can just see your little jumping face, in the window up above trying to please someone trying to please someone Great sunrise holy eyes disappointed on my side he was L.I.T.S lost in the shuffle he came to claim but was sent away he came to attack and partly confess he was lost in the shuffle he must be from a mess a loneliness and my lack of success he was lost in the shuffle Here she is holding the baby here she is in Manhattan Here on the the beach in a robe Here she goes with Eric Clapton Nobody is going to get any better than they are right now It would take the strength of at least one bone We’re doing our best to be known so… you have to replace a feeling with a thing if you’re …. lost in the shuffle….

Hot Feet 05:12
Hot Feet - the lonesome kid He was a runaway years ago- everybody coming for me mom reading in her chair by the phone i was in another state with bare feet i never got caught - i’m on my own i’m on my own - on my own— on my own back then all the maids in macon rode the buses city wide they wore uniforms of dusty blue some with skin of deep brown velvet how come nobody falls to their knees in worship? it’s so odd people pass right by the gods—— that deserve it this morning i went outside before the sunrise the snow was melting i was thinking about giving you everything it must have been something about the faint sound of water escaping it’s stationary form How come nobody -in this city cries at your doorstep? and lays their body down and makes up ———— their mind i know it must be hidden somewhere in the deep south the way i want to kiss you by the side of the house the smell of a baseball glove in her mind and when it’s time she arches like a bridge-the birds are singing- when she opens her mouth and then she carries the laundry out..its blowing and twisting around the line - around the line around the line around the line this has all happened it’s all true without a doubt is the deed to the span of the land- it’s all mine and oh yeah i tied my shoes together and threw them up on the telephone wire i couldn’t wear them my feet were on fire how come nobody falls to their knees in worship? it’s so odd people pass right by the gods—— that ....

THE LONESOME KID I SAW THE LONESOME KID OUT IN THE SUBURBS OUT OF WATER I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT kind he was AND I WAS HURTING IN A DULL SLOW WAY who is wrong to follow ? - they say let them go- then they tend to stay my missile efforts to the hollow could not penetrate... who could not be swayed ? Where to go when I sleepwalk? my eyes all furry. I had a rushing feeling like the song is about to pop my body shows me what to do and my mouth just tastes like chalk i just end up at the intersection and look up looking like i did looking like the lonesome kid …… you ask about my family that must have been done- before me I fell from the deity - I’m beside her - in the car, (space)…… I sit in the chair where the arms have been ripped I can set my ashtray there - THERE MIGHT BE SOME GOODNESS JUST STANDING OPEN ON THE STREET WITH ARMS swinging UP IN THE AIR …….. IT’S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE- TO SAY ANYTHING DEFINITE- I COULD EVEN GIVE MY ORGANS AWAy…………. looking like i did looking like the lonesome kid the lonesome kid the lonesome kid - slow exit part THE LONESOME KID I WILL NOT BOTHER Out in the suburbs Out of water HE SEEMED TO HAVE IT RIGHT He PUT MY HEART ON A TSHIRT I WON’T EVEN READ IT- not me

Baby Me 03:51
BABY ME - the lonesome kid the time line starts right here my sexual souvenir the streets are all closed and know i love to be alone dreaming of skin and the bones exposed and how to force you in i used all my charms and set off false alarms just to climb the stairs just to be relieved i gave my best shit to those idiots write one long song and know i love to be alone so baby me come on and baby me it’s my time to crawl so baby me i got colors on the wall everything put up will fall and make a thing packages that fly through aggravated skies foretold love letter if only you were better that never made it through the night to my second floor and know i love to be alone can’t do the climb so baby me so baby me come on and baby me it’s my time to crawl so baby me i used all my charms and set off false alarms just to climb the stairs just to be relieved and know we love to be alone

Hastings 04:04
Hastings - the lonesome kid the window only opens so far in the room of the american inn you blew your smoke ring right up against - the- screen you’re paying the 200 fine if we get caught i’m threatening …. you won’t help you’re 6 foot 4inches tall - this you told me in the car upon remembering this i feel an aching loneliness that i suspect is taking over me like - a - plague throughout the night your leg shook and i could feel your bronchitis filled chest fears swirled around inside my head but the blue light and white sheets are too drained to speak it and that painting above you in - mountains - of relief but there's no relief …. ever i don’t know whose going to stop me in these tracks i had moments of utter panic when we crossed the Minnesota river on the drive——— back i feel like and ashtray of plastic and black maybe you’ll carry me across the room to another time and then i’ll know I’m stuffing words you dropped in my cigarette pack when i get home - they’ll - be - a - net I’m always trying so hard you know i’ve heard it all said before now I’m in the mirror and i’m brushing my hair the moment before i open the door and come to you - i’m a traitor of futures for minutes and seconds you’re stretched out on the hotel bed the news is on and the stories horrify and through it all we turn each other on and the your fingertips come up through my hair i was born with magical powers and now - they’re - gone
