LYRICS


HOLY SPIRIT


TAKE ME TO BED

IT’S ON IN A MINUTE

I CAN FEEL IT 

TASTE STARTS TO CHANGE

SMELL AIN’T THE SAME

THE HOLY SPIRIT!


YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD

GOT A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD WHERE ALL MY GLOOM GOES

JUST WHERE IT WANNA 

A FUSE BLOWS

JUST ‘CUZ IT’S GOTTA 

TO THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD 

THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD


OFF OF MY MOOD 

FROM STORMY AND RUDE

TO A MIND MOST MELLOW 

NOTHIN’S THE SAME

HOURS DON’T CHANGE 

AND LIGHT LANDS EASY


ON THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD

THERE’S A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD WHERE ALL MY BLUES GO

SOMETHING IGNITES

AND THE FUSE BLOWS

MAMA, YOU OUGHTA KNOW

GOT A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD 

THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD


I FEEL A RAY OF HOPE!

I FEEL A RUSH OF DOPE-

-AMINE YOU’VE GIVEN ME…

SINCE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME…


I FEEL A RAY OF HOPE

I FEEL A RUSH OF DOPE-

-AMINE YOU’VE GIVEN ME…

SINCE YOU HAVE ME…


THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD

THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD

THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD

THE HOLE IN YOUR HEAD


KETAMINE


WENT TO CHICAGO, HAD SOME KETAMINE

SURVEYED THE CITY FROM MY LIMOUSINE 

BABY, I HAVE LOVED YOU SINCE I WAS 17

AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW


LORD WHEN I LEFT YOU I GOT BLOWN APART

I HAVE RETURNED TO BUILD YOU NOAH’S ARK 

AND SAVE YOU FROM THE WICKED WORK ON WHICH I HAVE EMBARKED

SINCE YOU WERE LAST IN MY HEART 


I SAY WHAT I WANNA SAY

I DO WHAT I WANNA DO

AND RIGHT NOW, BABY BLUE

I WANNA SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU


MY LOVE

I FEEL IT DEEP WITHIN MY GUT

AND I CAN SWEAR I SAW OUR MINDS MELT TOGETHER 

FEET TURN TO FEATHERS

AND MOUNTAINS BENEATH US 


YES MA’AM

I GET THE FEELING THAT I AM

AND I CAN SWEAR I SAW OUR PASTS SEWN TOGETHER

HEADS FULL OF FEATHERS

AND NOTHING BETWEEN US


I SAY WHAT I WANNA SAY

I DO WHAT I WANNA DO 

AND RIGHT NOW, BABY BLUE 

I WANNA SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU

I WANNA SPEND MY TIME…


I GO WHERE I WANNA GO

MY MIND IS A RODEO

AND THAT’S WHY, BABY

I WANNA SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU

I WANNA MY TIME WITH YOU


LOVE

THIS TIME I’M HOPING IT’S ENOUGH

I WANNA KNOW YOU TILL THE WHOLE HOG EXPIRES

THE WORLD GOES TO FIRE

AND THERE’S NOTHING LEFT BUT OCEAN


ESTONIA (MONASTERY MOOD)


HOLY MOLY MAMA

I’VE GOT EGGS INSIDE MY BRAIN 

HOLY MOLY MAMA

I AM NOT MYSELF AGAIN 


I’VE GOT BLUES, BABY

LIKE, HOW WE EVER GONNA LAST

I ROCK A MONASTERY MOOD 

GENTLE AS A HEART ATTACK 


PULL THE PIN OUT 

BLOW THE HIGHWAY DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

PULL THE PIN OUT 

BURN THE WHOLE THING DOWN


WHAT AM I DOIN’

LIKE I’VE NOTHIN’ LEFT BUT TIME, TIME, TIME

I GET A LOW AND LETHAL FEELING

SOMETIMES 


BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YOU ARE ALWAY ON MY MIND

YOU’RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND


HOLY MOLY MAMA

I’VE A LOVELY LITTLE THOUGHT 

LET’S MOVE TO ESTONIA

BUILD A CASTLE OUTTA ROCKS


SHED OUR BLUES, BABY 

DROWN ‘EM IN OUR GATOR MOAT 

HOWL AT MACARONI MOONS

FROM OUR WINDOW 


PULL THE PIN OUT 

BLOW THE HIGHWAY DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

PULL THE PIN OUT 

BURN THE WHOLE THING DOWN


WHAT AM I DOIN

LIKE I’VE NOTHIN’ LEFT BUT TIME, TIME, TIME

I’VE GOT A LIGHT AND LILY FEELING

THIS TIME


YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YOU’RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND…


LOVE


MAMA, SOMETHING’S BURNING IN MY EYE

OH NO, NOT YOU AGAIN 

SALVE AND SOOTHE MY AFTERNOON

COME OVER HERE

CUT ME A LITTLE SLACK


CUZ WHEN I FEEL IT IN MY BONES

WHEN I FEEL THAT ANCIENT JONES 

THAT’S WHEN I KNOW

I’M IN LOVE

THAT’S WHEN I KNOW

I’M IN LOVE


CUZ THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE

TILL I SEE YOU AGAIN 

AND IT HURTS LIKE HELL

‘TIL EVENTUALLY I GIVE INTO YOUR…


LOVE



NEIGHBORHOOD GIRL WITH DOG


YOUR HEAD BUT SLIME

IT'S ON THIS TIME

DROP ME, PRETTY MAMA, FLOUR AND SACK

NEIGHBORHOOD GIRL WITH DOG IS BACK


YOUR HEAD BUT MINE

CHIMPANZEE TIME

SWING ME, LITTLE MONKEY, GIVE ME HEART ATTACK

NEIGHBORHOOD GIRL WITH DOG IS BACK



BENZEDRINE


MY MIND IS FULL OF FLYING FISH

AND MY HEART'S GONE ALL TO BEESWAX

MY EYES ARE BLACK AS A TOMB

MY ARMS ARE FILLED WITH ORANGE PEELS

AND MY DOG'S ALL OUT OF BARK

YOUR LOVE COMES OVER ME LIKE A FLOOD


OOH, BENZEDRINE, DON'T FALL APART ON ME

TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED AND I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY BEAK 'TILL LAND

I LOVED YOU

"DRAG ME TO THE RIVER AND DROWN ME" SAYS THE SHADOW

SO WHAT? WHO NEEDS YOU?


I'VE BEEN FEELING YOUR GHOST

LASSO'D FROM MOON, BLOWING WEST FROM A COAST

LATELY I'VE BEEN FEELING SO DULL

FLAT ON MY BACK, READING DREAMS OUT OF SKULLS

ARE YOU FINE? ARE YOU DEAD?

HAVE YOU BEEN EATING YOUR VEGGIES, BEEN GETTING TO BED?

I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND LIKE YOUR MOTHER

BUT I KNOW YOU GET IN TROUBLE, BIG TROUBLE, SOMETIMES...


OOH, BENZEDRINE, DON'T FALL APART ON ME

TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED AND I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY BEAK 'TILL LAND

I LOVED YOU

"DRAG ME TO THE RIVER AND DROWN ME" SAYS THE SHADOW

SO WHAT? WHO NEEDS YOU?


GOLDEN MOSES


YOU KNOW I LIKED IT BUT I NEVER THOUGHT

YOU WOULD LEAVE YOUR BOYFRIEND FOR TOO VERY LONG

IT WAS JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE PROTECTED LOVE IN THAT ROOM


BUT I COULD LISTEN TO GOLDEN MOSES

WHILE YOU BRUSH YOUR SISTER’S HAIR

GET HER DRESSED FOR SCHOOL AND OUT THE DOOR

WHEN YOUR MA’S HAD IT UP TO HERE

WHEN SHE’S HAD ENOUGH 


WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE

WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE 

WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE

TIE IT UP

TIE IT UP

IT’LL LAST ALL NIGHT IF YOU DO


YOU KNOW I LIKED IT BUT I NEVER CLAIMED 

I WOULD LEAVE MY LILY PAD FOR SO FAR AWAY

IT WAS JUST ENOUGH TO DIP MY TOES INTO YOUR OCEAN


BUT I COULD LISTEN TO GOLDEN MOSES 

WHILE YOU DRINK YOUR POPPY TEA, BABY

I’VE HAD ENOUGH… 


WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE

WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE 

WHEN YOU FIND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE

TIE IT UP

TIE IT UP

IT’LL LAST ALL NIGHT IF YOU DO


GIMME SOME TIME, MAMA

CUZ I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET MY MIND OFF OF HER MEMORY

WHILE MY HAND’S AROUND YOUR THROAT

GIVE ME SOME TIME, MAMA

DON’T GRIND YOUR TEETH

OR MAKE ME UP AND COP THAT I BELIEVED IN HEAVEN

IN THOSE CALIFORNIA SHEETS, WHEN YOU SAID


BABY, COME OVER HERE

I WANNA READ YOUR PALM

AND TELL YOU ALL THE LINES WHERE THE THINGS GO WRONG 

IN THIS ONE YOU’RE A BUMBLING BUM CUZ SOME BUM GOT GONE


AH, WHATEVER, JUST TAKE ME HOME

TAKE ME HOME

I THINK I COULD LOVE YOU


HEY BABY I WANTCHOO C'MERE


LOST IN A DREAM

TRACING THE SPOT WHERE YOU SAID I COULD SQUEEZE 

I GOT LOST IN A DREAM

LIKE HEDY LAMARR ON METHAMPHETAMINE

AND I STAYED IN LOVE ALMOST ALL NIGHT 

WHILE YOU CHASED YOUR SHADOW

YES I STAYED IN LOVE

ALMOST ALL NIGHT 


LOST IN A DREAM 

PACING THE BEACH WHERE YOU SWORE YOU WOULD BE

I GOT LOST IN MY DREAM

TRY AND FIND ME 

AND I’LL STAY IN LOVE

ALMOST ALL NIGHT

WHILE YOU BALL ME TO TEARS 

I WILL STAY IN LOVE

ALMOST ALL NIGHT 


HEY BABY I WANT BLACK LOVE

SPRUNG FORTH FROM NOTHIN’ BUT MUD 

HEY BABY I WANTCHOO 

BUT ONLY WHEN I HATE EVERY GLIMPSE OF KINDNESS IN THE MIRROR

WHEN I’M SLIMY AS A WORM

WHEN I’M DRUNK AND MISSING HER, HEY

HEY BABY I WANTCHOO C’MERE


HEY IF I CAN FIND NO WAY TO TELL YOU 

IF I’M OVERCAST OR BLUE 

OR I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

WILL YOU SEVER MY HEAD

DEVOUR MY DREAD

WILL YOU SAY THAT YOU DO WHEN YOU DON’T

AND I’LL BE EASY 

YES MA’AM 

SO EASY 


HEY BABY I WANT BLACK LOVE

SPRUNG FORTH FROM NOTHIN’ BUT MUD 

HEY BABY, I WANTCHOO 

BUT ONLY WHEN I HATE EVERY GLIMPSE OF KINDNESS IN THE MIRROR

WHEN I’M SLIMY AS A WORM

WHEN I’M DRUNK AND MISSING HER, HEY

HEY BABY I WANTCHOO C’MERE


ARE YOU LOST

ARE YOU

LOST IN YOUR DREAM

YOU’RE IT

I FOUND YOU


FREUD ON THE BEACH


I SIT AND I SQUIRM

TRY TO OBSERVE EACH BREATH AS IT LEAVES ME

THEN GREET ITS RETURN

I SQUIRM

AND I THINK OF HER SOMETIMES

SO I START AGAIN


I SIT AND I SQUIRM

UNPACK THE PAST

SEND IT OUT FOR THE WEEKEND, HOPE IT NEVER COMES BACK

I SQUIRM WHEN I THINK OF YOU SOMETIMES

SO IT GOES…


I HEAR A GHOST

I HEAR A GHOST

I HEAR A GHOST AND SEE FREUD ON THE BEACH

DRUNK IN THE SUN

IF YOU SEE ME COMIN’ YOU BETTER RUN


OH WHILE POOR LITTLE RICH BITCH BANGS ON HER DRUM

I COME BACK TO YOU IN THE DARK

I MISS YOU WHEN I’M SOFT

SO I GOTTA STAY HARD

WHEN I CANNOT STAND WHO I AM


OH MY BABY BLUE

I FEEL GLUED TO IT WAS THIS EVENING 

THOUGHT I’D LOSE IT WHEN I SAID THAT MANTRA YEAH

WHEN I’M WITH A WOMAN AND SHE BLOWS MY MIND

I FORGET YOU BABY EVERY TIME…


BUT WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT

MY DARLING

OH, MY DARLING, WHILE I SIT AND I SQUIRM…


THE MAD BOMBER


THE MAD BOMBER’S ON MY MIND 

SOME NASCENT PARANOIA THAT I CANNOT DEFINE

THE MAD BOMBER’S ON MY MIND 

BEEN STARIN’ AT YOUR MOVIE

I THINK I’M GOING BLIND 


COULD’VE ONLY BEEN A SUMMER 

COULD’VE ONLY BEEN A DAY

COULD BE MY IMAGINATION 

COULD BE MANY THINGS AT PLAY 

SO HOLD ME IN YOUR BONY ARMS 

BEFORE I FLOAT AWAY


THE MAD BOMBER’S ON MY MIND

A NEW AND THRILLING IMPULSE 

TO LIVE A LIFE OF CRIME 

I FIND MYSELF UNSTEADY AGAINST THE HOWLING WINDS OF TIME

I LOVE YOU, NOW YOU’RE LEAVING

WELL, I WON’T BE FAR BEHIND
