Jealousy
He's got a million dollar car He's got a 37-year-old guitar He's got a family who deals heroin And you're the edge of your chair And you feel it He's looking at you He's laughing at you It happening I can't, I can't believe it But it's here on the page I'm reading It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy, jealousy I know it's just a drawer of photographs They're ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that I don't want to look but I'm already hooked Darn jealousy, jealousy I can't believe you had a life before me I can't believe they let you run around free Just spoiling your body wherever it seemed like a good idea What a good idea Standing on a corner, Watching the ladies pass by Imagine me behind your eyes And then what do you see, I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try I saw jealousy, I saw jealousy I can't, I can't believe it But it's here in the place and I see it It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy, jealousy Standing on mud flats Watching the salmon fly Wonder if I'll ever bury the hatchet inside Imagine me behind your eyes And then what do you see, I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try I saw jealousy, I saw jealousy I can't believe you had a life before me I can't believe they let you run around free Just spoiling your body wherever it seemed like a good idea What a good idea

Animal Girl
It's an animal girl and it's lying on the beach Its ass can surf in the sand while its head's asleep Its fingers roll a reefer cigarette Its skin can decompose beneath the sweat I know all I need to know I know how much girl to go Drinking ice scotch and soda I proclaim the ocean like a Coppertone baby Wait and see You don't know who I am Fig or tree, Lex or Superman The owners may dim the lights The sailors may start to fight back the dinner They wolfed back at the taco joint But maybe a blue moon will shine in the heart of the 'hood It's animal girl and its legs are turning well The spit-o-matic flips it on its back There's a gathering crowd of heavy-breasted men The burn patrol is freaking out again I know all I need to know I know how much girl to go
California
OK, this guy walks into a bar No, I'm just fuckin' with you, I'm kiddin' There's this young bull and this old bull And they're standing on top of a hill And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California So they're standing on top of this hill, right? And they're looking over this full of pasture of cows Whole fuckin' pasture And the young bull turns to the old bull and he goes "I got this really good idea" And the old bull's like, "Yeah" And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California "Yeah," he's like, "yeah, I got this really good idea "Let's walk run down that hill and fuck one of those cows" And the old bull just looks at him Ya know, he's just lookin' at him He's like, "Look, I got a better idea" The young bull's like, "Yeah, what's your fuckin' brilliant idea?" And the old bull goes. . . And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California And the old bull goes, "Let's walk down that hill and fuck all of those cows. Dig?" Ya know, like he ain't been in town long or somethin', I dunno And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California
South Dakota

Batmobile
Fire up the batmobile 'Cause I gotta get outta here I don't speak the language And you gave me no real choice, you gave me no real choice You made me see that my behavior was an opinion So fire up the batmobile 'Cause I gotta get outta here It's the mouth of the gifthorse I know But I gave it my best shot, I gave it my best shot I gave you the performance of a lifetime Fire up the batmobile 'Cause I gotta get outta here Big shoulders block the view You can't get your money back, you can't get your money back You can't pretend that isolation is the same as privelege So I hope you all will see There just isn't a place here for me I look around and feel like somebody must be fucking with me I just can't take any of you seriously And I can't keep keeping myself company
Dead Shark
Don't be so rude I was only trying to make conversation Take that wall down, this is not going anwhere (?) Got a dead shark on our hands Got a dead shark on our hands Got a dead shark on our hands I'm just trying to get a handle on this I'm just trying to figure out where I stand I'm just trying So sue me for trying Do I just have a problem, or did you also think that this was hot? I really hate talking to you on the telephone Can't we just work it out Let you come on over? Can't we just work it out That you stay here and mine? I'm not looking over my shoulder I'm not gazing up at the stars I'm not thinking about years in the future I'm just wondering where you'll sleep tonight Do I just have a problem, or did you also think that this was hot? I'm not looking over my shoulder I'm not gazing up at the stars I'm not thinking five years in the future I'm just wondering where you'll spend tonight
Easy
I think you're trying to scare me So that I will stop thinking about you I think you're trying to scare me So that I will stop trying to be you It's not that easy It's not that easy I laughed when I heard you died 'Cause I didn't know what else I was gonna do Now I laugh when I see you alive 'Cause I think you're just pulling my leg It's not that easy It's not that easy Well it must have have taken a whole lot of anger And it must have taken a whole lot of time But I can't believe that you found me after all these years I guess you must have something heavy on your mind And I can't believe that you thought I'd be happy To see you up and around like it's any morning You look like shit and the smell is even better And I feel like shit and I wanna go back to bed. You can walk through walls You can make the head of dolls spin around You can haunt the halls But you can't ask me to make you feel at home It's not that easy It's not that easy
