Telepathic Surgery  1989

Drug Machine In Heaven

Every time that we fly together
Our plane blows up in the sky
We're workin' in an explosives factory
Cause we don't care if we die

Everything, everything, everything that I wish
Give us a 20th century jesus guy
And he could make us rich

You've known me for a million years
And I've been chewed up by all your gears
I don't wanna be no one else
I like it here, 'cause I like hell.

Right Now

The daylight rips at my naked thoughts
A hundred miles an hour
But I'm still lost right now
We think we know just who we are
But sometimes I think we've gone too far

Right now ... right now

In my head all my engines die
And it's scraping pieces out of the sky right now
Once I thought I had figured it out
In dream I knew what it was all about

My life and times are lyin' on the floor
I ain't never walkin' through there no more
And I'm walking down this highway
I don't know the year, I don't know the day

Michael, Time To Wake Up

Michael, it is time to wake up
Sleepy Head
It's time to wake up
You have slept too long
In the darkness of night,
And now it is time to awake
And see your girlfriend...
What a fright...

Chrome Plated Suicide

If all my dreams were a tidal wave
And every day was christmas
We could spend our lives in the drip
At the edge of the world

Cause love does things that you can't see
It's like telepathic surgery
And cuts and scrapes just like iggy pop thrown in a hole

If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing in the world

You and me in a chrome reflection
We were born to suffer some
Please don't chase me from this jail
You know it looks so nice

If all my dreams were a microwave
And every day was summer
When I feel this way, you know
We should start our own religion

If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing in the world
And if you take away my pain
Please don't leave my brain
Cause when I think it hurts just the same

Miracle On 42nd Street

I know a bundle of humanity
She's about so high
I'm nearly driven to instantly
When she passes by
She's a sunny little honey but oh so hard to kiss
I'll try to over come her vanity
And then i'll tell her this

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms
It would be a sin
Not to have you in my arms

I'm young and healthy
And so are you
When the moon is in the sky
Tell me what i am to do?

Redneck School Of Technology

I'm draggin' everybody down
But being healthy's just a big drag anyway
I'm startin' to reconsider things
I'm gonna live like a trucker without his uppers every day

Me and mom sit and talk all night about
Peace and love and politics
And the millionaires we'll be someday

My momma told me something once
She told me something, I forget what it was
Ronny van zandt's ghost lives inside of me
But he just sits there
I don't know what he does

I'm leaving everything behind
Except my mind and my valentine if I got time
Gonna go to some redneck town where
They hold class in the middle of the night
If my school had burned to the ground
I would've gotten smarter sooner
And you know that's right.

Shaved Gorilla

We got a gorilla and we shaved him
And bought him a motorcycle
I swear if God only let us, we would change it
We don't care that much now

The Spontaneous Combustion Of John

It's such a shame, Johnny smokes
And his eyes are full of fire
Like the first time captain marvel zapped him
Right between the eyes

The Last Drop Of Morning Dew

I think the state of mind that I'm in
We should drop it right now
Well you've got yourself to blame
If you need these sunny days
And all those plans that I made
They're all changed by the end of the day
'cause God fucked up when he made us
'cause he made us so we could hate us
And the world could end in a second

Begs And Achin'

I see ya flyin' in your ufo all the time
Crash and burnin' in my backyard
It's begs and achin' all the time

I ridin' on your brainwaves
Surfin in a dream
I wish you'd save those dreams for me

I see you flyin' in your ufo all the time
I don't remember what day it was
Begs and achin' all the time
