Plateful Of Eggs
04:45
|
|||
Woke up this morning wrong side of the bed
Needed some breakfast, but I was all out of eggs
Made a run to the store to pick up some food
Got into a fistfight, the damn cashier was rude
But then it turned out the cashier was a chick
Goddamn this town, indistinguishable hicks
Well, needless to say I had my rights read
Got thrown in the clink, never got my eggs
Where did I start? Where am I going?
Where have I been and where am I now?
What do I want? What do I need?
What do I have? I can't figure this out
Was I ever born? Did I ever live?
Will I ever die? Am I already dead?
I didn't ask for a night in the can
All I wanted out of this was a plateful of eggs
Well then the next evening I went down to the pub
My whistle was dry, but then I got snubbed
By an old ex of mine who was with her new man
So I took my old knife to the tires of her van
I wanted the reaction, so I waited outside
That wasn't the first time I made the bitch cry
Well, the cops came again and said "oh no, not you"
They took me away, I never got my booze
Where did I start? Where am I going?
Where have I been and where am I now?
What do I want? What do I need?
What do I have? I can't figure this out
I keep on losing track of the score
Can never tell if I win or I lose
I didn't ask for a night behind bars
All I wanted out of this was a bottle of booze
This routine ain't new to me
Get drunk, fuck up, act all tough
Piss someone off and leave in handcuffs
Courtrooms get so old to me
Just give me my slap on the wrist
Tell me to be good and shit
I'll wave goodbye and tell you this
"See you again in a little bit"
It's been a few weeks now and I'm still in jail
Guess this was the last straw, couldn't make bail
These charges keep piling up, I've got some hefty fines
I won't be able to afford, so I'll be doing some time
Yeah I'll be doing some time
Doing some time for a plateful of eggs
Yeah I'll be doing some time
Doing some time for a bottle of booze
Yeah I'll be doing some time
Doing some time for a plateful of eggs
Yeah I'll be doing some time
Doing some time for a bottle of booze

On the bed of a pickup truck was where we met
You were wearing a little black & yellow sundress
Talking to a friend and bitchin' bout the democrats
"Who the hell are you" was the first thing you said to me
Followed by "and what are you staring at?"
I gotta admit I wasn't quite expecting that
I didn't think you'd see me hiding in the trees
With the binoculars and the plastic canteen
And I know you probably got a boyfriend and he could kick my ass
But I know that I could kick yours, so get out of those drawers
C'mon now
Well now that the jig was up, I figured I
Might as well stand up, wave and say "Hi
How ya doin' beautiful, you wanna fuck
Right here on the bed of this pickup truck?"
Well that was the moment I walked to where you were
You slapped me in the face and spat on my shirt
Your friend, she said "What the hell is wrong with you?"
I said "Where are my manners, you can get in on this too
And I know you probably got a boyfriend and he could kick my ass
But I know that I could kick yours, so get out of those drawers
C'mon now, chop chop
I haven't got all day, both of you now"
Now that I had you backed into a wall
You feigned fear and gave me a swift kick in the balls
You hopped into your truck and hauled ass down the road
But I wrote down your plate number an hour ago

When She Came To The Bar
03:42
|
|||
Whenever she came to the bar, she fell into everybody’s view
We all dropped what we were doing, and whoever we were talking to
It’s true, she was a married woman, but that stopped no one
We’d all line up in droves for an opportunity to get some
And it’s not like we fancied her personally or anything
She was a parasite, a snob, a bitch, a liar, thief and an idiot
But it’s not like we were striving for a commitment at all
We just wanted to fuck what little brains she had out of her skull
And interestingly we all enjoyed the company of her man
Infact some of us even considered ourselves close personal friends with him
But the guilt was overwhelmingly overcome by lust
For this slut with the heart-shaped butt, and the plump double-D cups
And although she was a sleazy, dirty, horrid little tease
It was a mission like no other to get her on her hands and knees
So one night when she came to the bar, I decided to make my move
And I popped a quarter in the jukebox and threw on this badass groove
Oh woman, gonna take you for a ride
Oh woman, gonna make it last all night
I strolled over to the bar with a cocky grin across my face
And “what’s a lovely lady like you doing in this wretched place?”
Or some variant, I uttered. I should have stood no chance
But my confidence was oozing, I just knew that I’d be in her pants
And so we danced a little while til she suggested her place
It turns out that her man was on a business trip in Salt Lake
So we headed to her house where she fixed us each a couple drinks
And a half an hour later, we were making out and stripped down
Well her lips, and her hips, and her tits, and her grip
On my dick was like nothing I’d experienced before or since
We went at it like dogs until the morning sun came up
Slept through the entire day until I’d finally woken up
At 5-motherfucking PM, I guess I ain’t working today
On my way out the door, she had a suspicious grin across her face
I figured that it meant something so first thing the next day
I took a trip to get tested, and it turns out I got aids
Oh woman, you took me for a ride
Oh woman, you know that shit ain’t right
Oh woman, you really did it good this time
Oh woman, you fucked up my whole life

Better Day To Die
02:51
|
|||
Well I went out for a walk last night
I didn’t feel right
I sorted through everything on my mind
And I realized
That I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah
I stepped right up to the edge and cried
As my entire life flashed before my eyes
It’s a damn good day to be alive
But it’s an even better day to die
As I walked, I recounted my life
I’ve had a hell of a time
But I think it’s time to leave this all behind
And enter the other side
Cause I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah
I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s a damn good day to be alive
But it’s an even better day to die
Now there’s no need for anyone to cry
Everything’s fine
And did you notice that this whole song rhymes?
Including this line
Well I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah
I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s a damn good day to be alive
But it’s an even better day to die

Oh, My Mind
03:28
|
|||
Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind
Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry
Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind
Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die
Someone tried to say something to me
I couldn't hear, his lips I couldn't read
I guess my brain is going for a ride
Something different better happen soon before I lose my fucking mind
Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind
Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry
Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind
Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die
Clear a path, give me some room to breathe
Help open my eyes so I can see
I wonder who the hell is next in line
I hope someone changes the channel soon before I lose my fucking mind
Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind
Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry
Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind
Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die

No Reflection
04:42
|
|||
It's hard to get people to see what you've seen
Even mentally
More frustrating than a book you can't read
And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from
There's always some details exclusive to you
They try to understand and say it happens to everyone
But it's no use, there's no use
Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes
There's no reflection
It's hard to find genuine dreamers of dreams
They're in the seams
Waiting for someone to see what they've seen
And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from
There's always some details exclusive to you
They try to understand and say it happens to everyone
But it's no use, there's no use
Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes
There's no reflection
It's hard to fight demons that inflict disease
Into the weak
Stranger in body and mind than it seems
And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from
There's always some details exclusive to you
They try to understand and say it happens to everyone
But it's no use, there's no use
Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes
There's no reflection

Queen Size Size Queen
03:58
|

My woman's got big ole lips
My woman's got big ole eyes
My woman's got big ole tits
And she's got them big ole thighs
She's got a big belly too
That she loves to fill with pizza and beer
The only other way that she can be pleased
She needs atleast 10 inches of meat
She's a queen size size queen
She only loves the biggest part of me
The only problem that I should've foreseen
Whenever she leaves my house, there's nothing left to eat
My woman's got a big ole bush
She never ever trims or shaves
My woman's got a big ole ass
It could block out the sun for days
She's got a big ole heart too
The sweetest thing in the world
But she needs a big ole manpipe
More than any other girl
She's a queen size size queen
She only loves the biggest part of me
The only problem that I should've foreseen
Whenever she leaves my house, there's nothing left to eat

The Hypothetical Song
03:05
|
|||
Who do you think would win in a fight
Between Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd?
And who should be the guest referee
Between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck?
Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental
Discussion between you and me
I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential
In fact it means jack shit to me
What do you think would happen if Oscar
The Grouch won the lottery?
Would he move out and buy a big house
Or just continue living in poverty?
Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental
Discussion between you and me
I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential
In fact it means jack shit to me
How do you think you’d commit suicide
If you came down to that decision?
I don’t mean to imply that you’d like to die
I’m just curious of your chosen method
Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental
Discussion between you and me
I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential
In fact it means jack shit to me

We Are the Girls
04:21
|
|||
Gave into her seduction
And she stabbed me in the leg
She grabbed a folder from my bag
That contained important documents
Can’t find my phone or my money
But I found a pile of one dollar bills
Found a phone that looked just like mine
But discovered it wasn’t after navigating through it
We are the girls
We are the world
We are the girls
We are the world
Turns out the documents
were planted on me and fake
She was fired from her agency
All I ended up with was a gash on my leg
Molly saw the whole thing happen
And all she did was laugh at me
I said “I’ll kick your ass, Molly
Even if you’re 2 feet taller than me”
We are the girls
We are the world
We are the girls
We are the world

My best friend sold guns out of the trunk of his car
And he told me you can make some money giving oral on the street
And I don’t seem to know how to drive anymore
And whenever I am being chased, It’s like I’m in quicksand
I cannot hear the banjo in the back
And you can’t hear the banjo in the back
No one can hear the banjo in the back
Because there is no banjo in the back
Rocky Balboa screamed “I’m proud of ya, Paulie”
And I vomited piano keys all over the floor
And I pissed on a Macho Man Randy Savage poster
And I had to catch my guinea pigs from falling out of their cage
I cannot hear the banjo in the back
And you can’t hear the banjo in the back
No one can hear the banjo in the back
Because there is no banjo in the back
I cannot hear the banjo in the back
And you can’t hear the banjo in the back
No one can hear the banjo in the back
Because there is no banjo in the back

Your Name
03:39
|
|||
Hey, it’s okay
We’ll run away through the night
I’ll take you away to that far away place
Where insanity lays and mind games will be played
And we’ll carve out our names in the trees, we will stay
Out under the stars until the break of day
It’s okay
We’ll wash away the disguise
I’ll turn away and walk back to the place
Where it began that day when the two of us laid
And I’m still not ashamed we had nothing to say
But much to my dismay I forgot your name
I’m not in love
I’m not in love with you
I’m not in love
I just want to do bad things to you
Yes it’s true
Don’t know what to do without you
And until the day when you come back my way
I’ll just lay wide awake and my mind will just race
Run all over the place til it all goes away
And maybe by then I’ll remember your name

Saved
04:37
|

She took me in
Out from the night
She brought me in
And she saved my life
And never before that night
Did I ever believe I
Could survive
Now I owe her my life
The only reason that I
Stand here tonight
She let me in
Into her life
She brought me in
Yeah she saved my life
The end of it all began
The day that I showed my hand
Out in the open
I couldn’t believe my eyes
The words that escaped my mind
Were better left unspoken
She broke me in
I never asked why
She wore me thin
But that is alright
She took me in
Out from the night
She brought me in
Yeah she saved my life
She broke me in
I never asked why
She wore me thin
But that is alright

Locked On
03:02
|

Gonna take a stroll down the street tonight
Gonna scope some targets I’d like to make mine
You know I’m watching, you know I’m watching
Hey little girl, sitting over there
I’m pretty sure I caught your eye
In your own world, flinging back your hair
I got you in my sights
Locked on
Well I don’t really like blondes that much anyway
Oh there’s a red fox that’ll make delicious prey
You know I’m watching, you know I’m watching
Hey little girl, standing over there
Should it be your place or mine?
I’ll rock your world, and turn back your hair
I got you dead to rights
Locked on
Hey little girl, sitting over there
I’m pretty sure I caught your eye
In your own world, flinging back your hair
I got you in my sights
Locked on

What I'd Do (to You)
03:31
|
|||
You're standing by the fence
With that short little skirt
What do you think you're doing besides
Teasing me, you should be pleasing me
The way that those hips sway
And the way that your face radiates
Is more than enough to send a man
to insanity land
Oh baby
Oh baby, what I'd do
To you
Oh honey
Oh honey, what I'd do
To you
My imagination is doing things
To me I shouldn't even mention
I can't even believe
That this is coming from me
Oh god, I don't know how to resist
The urge to throw you on the ground
And rip you apart
Until the sun comes out
Oh baby
Oh baby, what I'd do
To you
Oh honey
Oh honey, what I'd do
To you

I awoke in my car parked on the side of the road on an on-ramp
right next to the old sewing mill where my grandmother used to work
I had no recollection of what happened that day that led up to this, or even the day before perhaps, it's all a blur
I couldn't have even told you what day of the week it was
Anyway, I was completely naked, which didn't help with the whole confusion factor
My ex-girlfriend happened to be driving by, and pulled over to check on me
I don't remember anything she said, but I do remember breaking into tears
probably from the humiliation from a combination of my situation and the fact that I had no explanation
Everything's groovy, everything's great
Everything's terrific, everything's ok
Everything's fantastic, everything's fine
Everything's splendid, everything's sublime
I stumble out of the bar, in a futile effort to locate my car.
I don't even think I drove here, now that I think of it.
I could call a cab, but I don't have any cash
I just dumped the last of my last unemployment check into the booze I drowned myself in
I don't know if it's ironic or idiotic that I was actually celebrating the milestone of getting my final check
by pissing it all away to get piss drunk. Probably the former.
Well, either way I've got quite the long walk now
but it atleast gives me some time to think about how to tell my kids that they're not gonna be able to eat for a week.
Everything's rosy, everything's good
Everything's copacetic, as it should
Everything's wonderful, everything's nice
Everything's awesome, everything's alright
Ugh, Christ
I don’t know how the fuck I do this
Every morning I wake up and I pretty much just gotta put a gun to my stomach
Just to drag myself up
Everything's Dandy, everything's sweet
Everything's Amazing, everything's complete
Everything's Fabulous, everything's grand
Everything's Incredible, everything's in hand

Have you ever had a conversation with Joe Piscopo? I did
Let’s just say I’ve never been the same and I would not wish that upon anybody
Not even to my worst enemy
The guy’s fucking nuts and it shows on his face with his wide eyes and his fucked up delivery
I went insane
I live in the psychiatric ward now
That’s what happens to anyone who’s had a conversation with Joe Piscopo
I have to cry myself to sleep now
I can’t count, and I can’t read anymore
I thought those were things you could never lose
That’s what happens to anyone who’s had a conversation with Joe Piscopo
And now I’m digging my way out
I’ve got a spoon, I’m digging through the wall
It might take me a long good goddamn time to accomplish this goal
But fuck it, I’ve got all the time in the world
What the hell do I have to do in a psychiatric ward?
I’ve got no big projects
I’ve just gotta keep my eye on the guy with the straight jacket
I know my day will come
I know my day will come
I’ll make it home again
I’ll spread my arms under the rain like the guy from Shawshank Redemption
And I’ll be twice as relieved
Cause my mind is free and I talked to Joe Piscopo in my past
I can count how many people could say that on my ass
On my ass!
