Betty Grand sweeps away
The ashes of her life
Her Cinderella life
Cinderella is on fire.
I see I see him with her.
I see I see him with her.
Icy black atmosphere.
I see I see him with her.
It’s always raining here
When did it start raining here?
The knife comes down
As the night comes out.
Betty Grand out on the town
Breaking her
Glass slipper.
I see I see him with her
I think I can get to her
I see I see him with her
Dogface comes onto her
I see I see him with her.
Stop Dogface in his tracks.
I know his line.
I smell his traps.
I smell his traps.
Enter Betty Grand
I’m going to have Betty Grand..
I’m going to have (roll) the dice.
Grab my knife.
Enter Betty Grand
American
I want her to see
Stars and Stripes (x8)
I see I see him with her.
Icy Black Atmosphere.
I know I won’t get to her
But Ive got to meet her.
I see I see him with her.
You know I’ve got to meet her.
I see I see him with her
You know I’ve got to got to
You know I’ve got to got to got to gotta see
I see I see

Cotton Candy

She is torn to bits from his candy lips and her hips just fit where his candy sits with the pendulum
pits and the lullaby
fix and the lullaby
fix and the lullaby
fix
Cotton Candy,
and a lullaby fix
Get it cotton hot.
and a lullaby fix
On the landing
and a lullaby fix
It all falls apart
And I’m torn to bits
from your candy fits
and my fist just fits
where your candy sits
with the pendulum
pits and the lullaby
fix and the lullaby
fix and the lullaby
fix.
Cotton Candy,
and a lullaby fix
Get it cotton hot.
and a lullaby fix
On the landing
and a lullaby fix
It all falls apart
Hey (x6)
fix and the lullaby
fix.
Cotton Candy,
and a lullaby fix
Get it cotton hot.
and a lullaby fix
On the landing
and a lullaby fix
It all falls apart
Hey (x6)
You know you know you know you like(x2)

Planet Envy

Hey you moon crawlers in your space age parlors
You found your moon
You made it right
As the planet falters with your fast food slaughters
In your cocoon you made it right
Rooster gets bruised (x4)
In you passion parlors lashing spaced ape scholars
You found your groove you made it right
With your duckwalk callers and your museum daughters
In your blue zoo you did it right
Rooster gets bruised (x4)
See that rooster bruised and screaming
as the prom queen lies there dreaming
With the same old song you’re singing
There’s so much more need in needing
Rooster gets bruised.
Rooster gets bruised (x10)
Ah ah ah ah ah (x3)
Planet Envy (x4)
Let the backbeat keep on beating
How much need is there in their needing
What we see is we’re not seeing
It’s time we should be leaving
Planet Envy (x2)
Ah ah ah ah ah (x4)

Club Setting
03:33
|
|||
Maybe we’ll meet
Have a few drinks
Lose ourselves
Undo ourselves
Go home together
Faces smashed
Against leather
I’ll stand in the back of the club
and I’ll stand in the back of the club
Bloodletting in a club setting
Here we go (x2)
Shallow shaking
Shifting fading
All of them are not him
Watching Waiting Waiting Waiting
He thinks he has the punch line
The last laugh
The final word
We’ll see what happens
When we go into the woods
He might be a ladykiller charming villain
Fortune teller
Your luck has run out
Your luck has run out
There’s no turning back
I’ll stand in the back of the club
and I’ll stand in the back of the club
Bloodletting in a club setting
Here we go (x2)

Crop Duster
02:57
|
|||
Look at the sky
The eye that you find is telling the time
And the time is here
But the time is hidden somewhere
Next time is yours.
A girl in the park
Sings to herself
La La La (x2)
And all of those songs that make her believe
in what she is she says
But you found yourself and you looked at me
With your crop-duster eyes baby
With your crop-duster eyes baby
This is your time next time it’s me
I I I joke
Joke to myself
That I could help with someone else
And you could hold me only baby
You could be the only baby
But you found yourself and you looked at me
With your crop-duster eyes baby
With your crop-duster eyes baby
This is your time
Next time its me

Don’t trust the Butler
He’s coming around the corner again
He’s hiding in your moccasins
Hiding under your skin
and you wait for him
And you wait here for him
You you arrive with borrowed bats and fireflies
And you you wipe away the sleep from the sky
Do do do’s.
Lets run lets laugh lets put the car in 5th
And step on the gas
I’m the butler
I’m the butler
I arrive with shades of mack the knife
In my eyes
With borrowed fireflies
And I wipe away the sleep from the sky
She rounds the corner
She looks behind her
Wake the sky
I’m gonna wake the sky
I arrive with shades of mack the knife
In my eyes
With borrowed fireflies
And I wipe away the sleep from the sky

Ranch Hand Serenade
03:18
|
|||
Playboys getting it on
On the stairwell
After the show
After the heartbreak
Ranch hands driving all night
to the dollhouse
After the bombs
After the mistakes
But I’m looking for you
And yeah I’m looking for you
No one loves you (x4) the way I do
way I do
Does anyone know you
Like I do
Does know you
But no one loves you
No one loves you
You know I do
That boy came out of nowhere
He said that he was the first one
He snatched up all you underwear
And then that ranch hand boy was gone
She thought that she was the first one
She thought that she was the only one
And no one loves you
The way that I do
The ranch hands all leave you
And lead you out of view
And no one loves you
The way that I do
No one loves you now that your new
no one loves you but I do
And now that I found you (x2)
I love you (x2)

The Victims
03:10
|

Bring us your parlor tricks
Send a round and talk
To the woman who
Brings us to you
And we begin to float
Through the walls
We are the dead ones
The victims
Hear us
Hear us
We want you to know
You can’t let him go
Middle America
You’re beautiful
Tonight
Full of wine
And full of life
So we want you to know
You can’t let him go
We are the dead ones
The victims
Hear us
Hear us
We want you to know
You can’t let him go
In this in between
We are in this in between

Landmines
03:43
|

Air pressure
More breathing
We’re waking
We’re landing
Inside you
Without her
Nothing could be colder
Let them fly
Let them fly
You’re part of this now
You’re part of this now
Jump ship
Alone and unknown
before the cages and chains
Were pointed out to you
We’re landing on landmines
And we are breaking our backs
To get to you
Star sister come home
Star sister come home
We know who you are
You’re a volcano
Stuck in a jar
Jump ship
Jump ship
Cursing the last path of the arch enemy
We’re landing on landmines
We’re landing on landmines
Jump ship
Jump ship
We’re landing on landmines again (x2)
We’re landing on landmines

Undone In The Sun
03:56
|

You think I take advantage
That I wait like a fly or a fox
And I can’t keep out
coming in going out
coming in going out
I got bugs in my brain
No social gain
Nothing
I’m clumsy
And stutter some
Undone in the sun
Unleash your hounds
Those sacred cows
Bring them all to me now
I got bugs in my brain
I feel the strain
Come see
Lovely me
Undone in the sun
Undone in the sun
For bears its time to sleep
Ice cream castles
Fill the streets.
And I
Come in
And go out
More frequently now
With my mass hysteria
And that same sacred cow
I got bugs in my brain
No social gain
I’m clumsy and stutter some
Undone in the sun

Flying Home
05:07
|

Breathe the ocean in aahhhh
We are free to let go
Let the air leave your body
Don’t hold onto what you know
Now we’re flying home
As soon as we find a home
We’re all flying home
And now we’re letting go
As soon as we find a home
You look like you’re not scared (x2)
The rumble of the ocean
Is stopping now
The rumble of the ocean
The tide has frozen the ocean
The rumble of the ocean is telling us to fly home
We’re flying home
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
We’re all flying there
No wars anymore
We’re flying home
We’re flying home
