1. balticked (1:11)

does your hair stick up like that
from the reuptake within
my head sings woes in c flat
while yours sings a camera's din

some loves are not to score
never met an annoying bore
such as you when i agreed
those i've loved exclude the b's

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

you don't need to hear the floor
take care take care some more
the cutting room floor crinkle
of the thousands which i've mingled

the sound of tulips growing
hands coming through the floor
pluck that feathered cap knowing
they are out there in adore

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha



4. the ethertow (2:04)

you can get yourself dead
on last decade's fad
but if you wanna know
everything
get yourself down on the ethertow
the etherow is where you'll know

the framerate is faster
than the generation prior
greater color depth
and as you might have guessed

each solipsist is blessed
with the entire dvd box set

blue led philosophy

it's television on tv
it's p in p in p in p
closed captioning for me
on to infinity

so get your kicks
while the morphine drips
drip drip drip
from the coaxial nip

get your kicks
while the morphine drips
drip drip drip
from the coaxial nip

i dremt it i say
hooked to a cathode ray
that fortnight stay
i was in an awful way

socketed to a bed
but the waitstaff said
we got ya on the meds
that'll get ya undead

so good to be undead
so good to be undead

and i got my kicks
while the morphine dripped
drip drip drip
from the coaxial nip

i got my kicks
while the morphine dripped
drip drip drip
from the coaxial nip

swear that it's a dream
unbelievable gleam
from the computer screen

how i tossed and moaned
i traded in my monochrome

this ain't the picture phone
in the future home
this ain't the picture phone
in the future home



7. cup of pekoe
(operative version)
(2:54)

to sit and drink october iced tea
cooling pangs of sparta two thousand and three
what i did i did in haste
as time goes on i'll taste it

i got my stoned mythology
about you and cardiology
we've got the laugh we shared
such a large pet i was so scared

we've got our public handshake
though you're light you cause an earthquake
i've got my associations
and coded conversations about you

to sit and drink october iced tea
and read the script to my mind eye's dream
but we're both probably better off
these things can end up pretty rough

i'll settle for clues from streetwalkin' dudes
who probably knew much more about you
the hall of missed opportunity
is adorned in other people's property and how

i pass you by twenty times a day
in that hall but i still got nothin' to say
somehow i'm told you're well
and i smell a bread crumb each time i hear a bell

the time allotted for you to dial has been exceeded
please hang up and try your call again
the time allotted for you to dial has been exceeded



10. datsun-camero
(fender bender version)
(2:09)

i don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
kimmy d kimmy d
left a mile of chromium on your machine
sutures sutures
i don't wanna see the sun
hangin' out the roof of your datsun-camero

i don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
kimmy d kimmy d
left a mile of chromium on your machine
sutures sutures
i don't wanna see the sun
lyin' in the back of your datsun-camero



12. cableknit ii
(plastic shoes version)
(2:23)

first day on the job
here comes joe slob
walk me down the hall
do you like shop in malls

must have ended there
the end of the stares
they caught one of us
to get a big thrill from the bust

two minutes in an oven
craigslist missed connections
i nearly go atomic
like stan i almost vomit

on the bench at noon
wearing a bloody hue
the flash of baby blue
singin' a croon some awful tune

weeping at the border
picking at the mortar
down by the river
forgot what made me quiver

on the bench at noon
wearing plastic shoes
the flash of baby blue
everyone wearing plastic shoes

2. sight of fearing (1:41)

never spoke to you no never
it was a long two years i shivered
me timbers when you're appearing
night of daring to lock our peering

but the light of day caught every way
i tried and might have dared to say
spare me from this singing
with some kind of sign you're living

i'm a builder too in stasis
and just about to lose my face
evasion by the staircase
a frozen motion slow pace

i lost all sight of fearing
went through hearing after hearing
your name was never mentioned
though i'm sure i got your attention

i'm now censorized and hetrogenized
for my gentle eyed fleeting glance and i'm
waiting for the dime and in the midst of this
could be i missed that bus to bliss

can't turn back the kiss or what lead to it
but it's a road of shit outta any near miss



3. femdroid gen y uteran series (2:02)

swan dance past san fac d
in my face without a clue
admitted all responsibility
never quite got hung on anything new

duck walk out to snack machine
snickers are quiet inside wing d
she was mean but not to me
not that it was true just cyborg teen

CHORUS
not bad at verification
equipped for refribrilation
digital screwdriver
got us outta there like mciver

and you can hear the gears a clattering
and shit dude soon the pattering
is this what you call a repliping
not bad girl hope it's flattering

(chorus)

(second verse)

(chorus)



5. correction tape (1:40)

at the window to that office
i really wish that i'd come off as
not last year's colosal dumbass
i'd say something to impress ya

like hey i'm part of mensa
here for the starwars convention
come with me hoo hoo hooray
what fantasy roles do you play

there's a picture of me in five minutes
that summer i'd done me some guiness
and three months stronger my shyness
hard to say if you were lookin' your finest

your smile's god's frypan on windex
and there'd always be a vapor between us
i believe i averted my glasses
and cut all the last of my classes



6. hill of cabbage (2:40)

i rolled up the hill of cabbage
to the overhead outhouse door
there'd be no more of my damage
off absinth gates i'd sworn

there was a moon carved in the door
as black as the lighthouse rose
as black as the vacuum hose
and then i let the engine roar

i'd feel avoiding absence
as monoxide filled the rafters
i was stale from waiting in incense
hoped for buttons to push thereafter

i'd be a permanent rester
gripped lunesta and zyprexa
it crossed my mind that i'd messed up
thought of you when i was arrested

detained next day at noon
put in a mack lamborgini
i'd forgotten my broadcast swoon
and ongoing mime of houdini

i only wanted to know
that rumor'd not spread
the gaseous undertow
on your ear said i was dead

(first verse)



8. now as well (1:39)

tenemos anteojos de rojo
tenemos anteojos de azul
somos el dos en la escuela
pienso que eres loca y tu

me llamas un chico de queso
te llamo una mujer simpatica
hablar contigo a la fin del mundo
no es un chiste es ahorrita

CHORUS
y ahorra tambien que chica
y ahorra tambien que chica
y ahorra tambien que chica
y ahorra tambien que chica

canto las palabras a ti
ayudan mi sueno numero uno
hay una calle por solo nosotros
donde podemos beber en paz

no hablo sobre unidad
pues de vez en cuando
actualmente a menudo
solamente tu frente en la ciudad

(chorus)



9. milkcaps and marbles (2:22)

peeling back the endananya
peeling back the endananya

puke pot pie
puke pot pie

milkcaps marbles catatonia
milkcaps marbles catatonia
milkcaps marbles catatonia
milkcaps marbles catatonia

puke pot pie
puke pot pie

(x3)
