lyrics

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

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) Cotton Candy Cotton Candy

Planet Envy 03:18
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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)

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
lyrics
buy track
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

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
