Welcome to Loserville

Out here you know it's okay
If your girl's in your mother's
Bestial porno-mag
It's manners in this country
If your sis likes the way
Your daughters' titties sag
You can say what you want
But you'd see that it's simple America
Heroin's free, coke is cheap
It’s the new Colombian Perestroika
Pass the bottle
Blasted Kids sing the Party song
I've heard the bitches and complaints
It's a white picket fuckfest coca ball
Your brother and your sister have a kid
It’s okay cos she's your wife's party doll
It’s not a matter of wrong or right
It's how we live today
If you can't breathe the afterlife
Then it's stupid anyway
Pass the bottle
Blasted kids on a no assist
But the gamers and the D&D'ers
All converge on a Macintosh screen
It’s time to rumble, time to tumble
For the Loserville Dream
I know a place where we can go
Where no one knows shame
I know a place where the pot is gold
And the chicks are game
Fuck your boss, kill your dog
Welcome to Loserville
We'll play our favorite redneck station
And salute our land
Me and mom and girly girl
The dominatrix Stan
Fuck your God, kill the dog
Welcome to Loserville
The way happiness isn't so sweet
Just head out our way
It awaits here for you
The truth is the Borg are ready to meet
And all of this Kirk and Spock is for you
I used to get a ticket to the movies
For the price of a bag of dope
But since last year when I saw Rocky Horror
It was as much as a ball of coke
It's odd and nicely put
Out here in Loserville
You can't say we ain't got much
Eat another strychnine pill
Out here you know it's so gay
When you talk about a computer lag
Call in the Rubik's cube guard
Shelter the system with nude photographs
Make Wesson on the cuisine art
Lessen the burden on our fav'rite aristocrats
Skewer vegetarians and call it art
Then kill the hunters
For making their own vegetables
Beat up anarchists when you have to fart
There's a gas crisis for stupid environmentalists
Oh ...God
But if you could see us all right now
You'd wonder about it all
How life is shit
But that is just the way it is
Welcome to Loserville
“Hear him ye deaf; His praise”
“Ye dumb; Hath he not sent me to”
“The men that sit on the wall”
“That they may eat their own dung”
“Drink their own piss with you”
“Your loosened tongues employ”
“Thou shalt eat it as barley cakes "
"Sweet barley cakes”
“Baked with the dung that cometh out of man"
"In their sight”
“Ye blind behold your Savior come”
“Behold, I will corrupt your seed”
“And spread dung upon your faces”
“And leap ye lame for joy”
So if you want to hang or need a place to chill
Come out and visit me in Loserville

Nine Tenths
02:39
|

A fraction of our days
Scattered pieces in the night
The mundane thrown away
To show one tenth of our life
All of our glory
Is captured in a narrow spotlight
Not the whole story
Nine tenths. . .
Nine tenths slips by
We live what we know and remember
Depend on our hopes
To give us what we need
Don't you know or remember
Without any hope
We're no longer free
Prey to aimless days
And the wraiths of memory
Listening to the whispering of a plague
A horror that's too ordinary
Behind these guarded gates
Only one tenth will survive
Waiting out time without measure
While nine tenths. . .
Nine tenths
Nine tenths of us dies

El Paso Nights
04:20
|

West Texas day fades away
Can barely make out the highway
Except for the light of the moon
Driving down Route 10 on my own
Modern day cowboy, don't rope no cattle
But whiskey and senoritas I can handle
By the Rio Grande Mount Cristo Del Rey
I’m almost in radar range
I've got my disco on the radio
Can't wait to the hit the bars oh
I've got Rosa's Cantina on my mind
Not too mean, not too kind
Gringos, old guitars, saloon fights
Are all I can find
And all I can take in those
Mexican border El Paso Nights
El Paso Nights, not like El Paso Days
When cool cats roam the town
Who sleep under the sun and groove all night
To that crazy El Paso sound
Isles of cacti in a sea of sand
This time tomorrow I’ll be on the lam
Midnite Tacos maybe loose but never tight
We’re gonna paint the town brown tonight
Turn up the music I'm getting down
The party gets crazy when I come 'round
Everybody start dancing begin to strut our stuff
Till things take a turn for the worse sure enough
Border patrol come in bust up the place
Steal half the crowd away
Don't even feel compelled to bother
Cleaning up the mess they made
But you know I think I'll slip out the door
Before they come back
Once again it's time to split
And head on down the road Jack

Make a minced ink pen sauce
Stir it with a dirty yolk
Lightly sprinkle something
To yield Pan...Stirring...Evil
Samantha store
Light brings two chicken half (has to)
Take one into
Into the parsley
To the tablespoons
Constantly
The beaten hopeless
Don't burn
All that you've earned
In the tiled return
You're creamed
When one is finished
Who tells make the egg love (the surfaces)
To the sautéed frogs with
Stir of runs
Stir...of runs
Stir of runs
Stirring runs

Sicarii
10:21
|

You whisper my belittled worlds on dirty walls
With ignorant misfired ink
Persephone’s militant ember recess
Remains on my soiled sink
Ceres sells herself to the fashion police
To buy your pretty mink
The misty fields make an ornate ballroom
To fill the dunce air
To pretend you are a ballerina
To moisten your stranded hair
You went on holiday to wrap
Your remaining discourse
Hope to settle down in the Banana Republic
With the man from the Air Force
But all I know are naughty girls
Green berets and priests without a care
We are Sicarii, for your cause
We’re all sorry for your loss
We’re all Sicarii armed for your life
We’re all fighting against the strife
We are Sicarii
We’re armed for your life
You want to play out a game
While kindling your next shame
So the Sicarii
Happy for protest
Your great Sicarii
Taking your test
Your blurry eyes smell of mooned bluebells
I hear your mind reply
I could not find your safety pin
I haven’t found out why
The chorus makes a soliloquy
Fills the sound of your happy head
The chronicle is a paper cup
Removed from a treasure chest
You can call me in the morning
If you're stuck in this rut
Or pretend you’re only scolding me
For keeping my eyes shut
But ask me for a moment
If you can’t stand the cut
All I see are creamsicles
One act plays and seeds of eternal stares
We are Sicarii, for your cause
We’re all sorry for your loss
We’re all Sicarii armed for your life
We’re all fighting against the strife
We are Sicarii
We’re armed for your life
You want to play out a game
While kindling your next shame
So the Sicarii
Happy for protest
Your great Sicarii
Taking your test
Lately I’ve been pondering
This mess you’re in
You claim it’s a needful purge
The sanity of sin
Next we’ll be coloring
How far you’ll want to go
The words are not just assembly of
You’ll never know
The thesis isn’t a desideratum
Of a needed muse
The consequence a prerequisite
To embrace the hidden you
A cryptic lifestyle is virtue
If you go on your way
But its voided if you meander about
Lacking anything to say
The focus of your heart
Will make you want to sing
Just remember you are a melody
Waiting for a swing
Its only what's wanted
If you can get your grasp
Don’t struggle for eternity
Teach yourself to ask
Make it an insurrection
Like vanquishing the earth
Ceres fucks herself with a wire hanger
To glorify your birth
Come play with me friend, Persephone
Discover your truthful worth
All I speak of is nautical
Machismo and children with no prayers
We are Sicarii, for your cause
We’re all sorry for your loss
We’re all Sicarii armed for your life
We’re all fighting against the strife
We are Sicarii
We’re armed for your life
You want to play out a game
While kindling your next shame
So the Sicarii
Happy for protest
Your great Sicarii
Taking your test
We are Sicarii
We’re armed for your life
You want to play out a game
But not on your knife

An Enemy

Don't mean to stigmatize
Your reputation
Call into question
These idle demands your elastic values
Or demoralize you
The precious issues in your hand
Reaching out and over so simply
Tip the scale to imbalance you and to favor me
Truth who makes this
All so easy...
Pray tell me something that I don't already know
Give me an excuse that I haven't heard before
You say you did not mean to blame
That pitiful wretch, victim of shame
Who cries out in suffering from some
Steadfast curse, an ordeal all to his own
Quite unable to empathize
No opportunities and not allowed
Finding no more charity left inside
You can only offer him a turned blind eye
Enlighten me or should I hazard a guess
No matter what anyone's got, you've always
Got less
So many assorted beads
Awkwardly aligned on an
Endless stretch of string
So carefully strung out with
A great many pains
The best intentions to be sure
You see your staged dramatic little protest
It don't mean a single thing
In coming here you haven't gotten very far
Still you complain to me
That your life is oh so hard
And it's all
All so easy...
All too easy

I. Introduction
instrumental
II. Along the Mountains
All eyes search the skies
For the more reclusive sun...
Winter crawls along the mountains
Icicles forming like frozen tears
No human soul can stave off the cold
That’s come to thieve away all cheer
A yuletide season, bleak and bleary
With no way to warm our bones
Only the sound of a growing gray fury
Surrounding disheartened homes
Misery sown in drifts of snow
And a stark range of naked trees
Stir craze to dark charade
Too withered and worn to go on
Every furnace lays empty
And the odds of our survival seem dim...
Unless there is someone so bold
To venture past the gates of old
Who is so brave?
Who's so pompous?
Face the Hell Fairy one must
To stoke the fire!
III. To Stoke the Fire
The hedgehog rears his bristled head
And scoffing at the chill in the air
He goes forth to seek out the Gates
And the spirit that awaits him there
Self-assured and with no fear
All snarl and spine
A rapier wit, the hero of the hedge
He’s one of a kind
A yawn across the Hell Fairy’s face
As she stirs in her eternal slumber
Reveling in the warmth of the flames
Down in the realm of the salamander
Unaware and blithely indifferent
A heart as dark as coal
Straitlaced mistress of the fire
No one could ever goad
The hedgehog finds his hellish foe at last
Armed to the teeth with a solemn persistence
Rousing the fairy from languid sleep he starts
To taunt away with unwavering insistence
Rising up in a swirling cloud of smoke
The fairy’s still far from rage
“You’ll have to do much better that that!” she cries
Who will win today?
IV. Taunting the Hell Fairy
instrumental
V. The People Rejoice
The hedgehog returns in triumphant pride and glory
As he boldly strides from the burning Gates of Hell
He alone dared
To venture where none would ever dream
Incited the jealous fiend, and he did it so well
Now there's heat
For every home
And new hope
For every woe
The people rejoice in waves of exhilaration
Feeling alive again with the new day that’s dawning
All the fallen snow and ice recedes and disappears
While embers rekindle
The fires once more begin to sing
In the stoves
Of young and old
And with all set right
The hedgehog turns and goes

Things Fall Apart
11:39
|

I believed that I had used the best materials
To engineer my way no costs were spared
To build the bridges that go in between
Everything that I thought was irrational
In my mind what were the stakes
No I was not aware
Fingers like bars across my eyes
Help me to cage the way that I feel
About the flaws beginning to show
In my design too much had accrued
On the bridges how could I not see
The abundance of irrational
Breaking things down if I had known
I would’ve used a stronger glue
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart, fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall away
Once I would fend for definition
Forced the world to fit my description
Take for granted things only seem broken
I couldn't accept any part of that bargain
I know now that I
I'm not one for striking deals
Too cavalier you'd say
No hesitation
To burn the bridges across the ravine
All that there is left of real
Over there I had no place
But here, in my mind I have a few
Face no risk of disconnection
Don't need a guide to give me direction
Faced the risk of disconnection
Don't need a guide to give me direction
At last I'll find no forced intention
When everything fits together again
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart, fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall away
Faced the risk of disconnection
In my design too much had accrued
On the bridge how could I not see
The abundance of irrational
Fingers like bars across my eyes
Help me to cage the way I feel
At last I'll find no forced intention
If anything fits together again
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart, fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they fall away
Things fall apart
Things things they fall apart
Things fall apart
Things they...
