What becomes a legend most?
I'll let you think about it Space Ghost coast-to-coast While I give thanks today For all the things I stole and all the things I gave away You make experiment You try to teach a lesson and then take a stand A fake handshake Don't make no man I don't know about a year ago Or so I must have made you up in my head What did I base you on? Was it a Broadway show I saw, a hot new book I read? Half-baked, you come at me You know I told you not to call here no more The New Best Friend The Olde Headboard Yo no comprendo, mi amour Oh no, yo no comprendo The New Best Friend The Olde Headboard Where'd you get the dumb idea For all the secretive platonic dating? I have experience In the love and the lives of man and machine Yo no comprendo, mi amour Oh no, yo no comprendo The New Best Friend The Olde Headboard What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) What becomes a legend most? The love and lives of man and machine (Olde Headboard) The love and lives of man and machine |

He has agreed to take me
To the ice hotel from the magazine What we will need is a gleaming key Made of ice as well by the finest ice machine It's there that no one will stare At your jaws and your long fur The claws in your fingers It's in the past when the passerby laughed At your strange way of speaking Your batteries leaking, oh no Oh God no They don't know the new zero Oh God no They don't know the new zero Uniforms worn so leisurely The reindeer skins the privacy How was he born? He's asking me Flapping his fins very impressively It's there that no one will stare At your jaws and your long fur The claws in your fingers It's in the past when the passerby laughed At your strange way of speaking Your batteries leaking, oh no (He has agreed) Oh God no (To take me) They don't know the new zero (To the ice hotel) (He has agreed) Oh God no (To take me) They don't know the new zero (To the ice hotel) I really don't care and neither does he If this hotel melts into the sea Polished and so rare, this is the way that we see The coldness helps, it's our favorite remedy I really don't care and neither does he If this hotel melts into the sea Polished and so rare, this is the way that we see The coldness helps, it's our favorite remedy It's there that no one will stare At your jaws and your long fur The claws in your fingers It's in the past when the passerby laughed At your strange way of speaking Your batteries leaking, oh no (He has agreed) Oh God no (To take me) They don't know the new zero (To the ice hotel) (He has agreed) Oh God no (To take me) They don't know the new zero (To the ice hotel) |

She doesn't know the man
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand She just looks out to sea He's talking endlessly Oh, why won't he shut up I take my medicine I crush the paper cup Oh, maybe he's my son And he's come to set me free She knows that she forgot That there's a story, and she Can't recall the plot Of course her family fought Over the furniture Oh I don't know why they Have taken all my favorite things away But one thing, that's for sure I don't know what they were They say a stone is a marker And that it has weight They say it's solid But it can deteriorate The air is like a hand Reminding her of all the things she's planned Like air that thought is gone Never to come again We came out to the beach To find the mind I've lost, and cannot reach I used to keep it here It was much cleaner then They say a rose is a flower And that it is red It blooms, it grows, it wilts And then it's dead They say a stone is a marker And that it has weight They say it's solid But it can deteriorate They say a rose is a flower And that it is red It blooms, it grows, it wilts And then it's dead Oh, Rose Kennedy |

Do you believe in the signs of the zodiac?
Haven't you found that the systems for planning always fail? Can you avoid what gave daddy his heart attack? Have you tried everything, anything, all to no avail? I know what you need This will really work In ancient times, if you were sick They make you bleed Oh, honey I know it hurts Look all around you and notice you're not alone We want to give you the courage to go a different way Think of the love and attention we all have shown What did we do when we heard? Well, we all came right away I know what you need This will really work In ancient times, if you were sick They make you bleed Oh honey, I know it hurts Do you believe in the signs of the zodiac? I know what you need This will really work In ancient times, if you were sick They make you bleed Oh honey, I know it hurts Do you believe in the signs of the zodiac? |

Yeah, he was big landowner
He was a bad mouth breather But you can see his station wagon stand alone Woulda, coulda, we should've known He was a failed cropduster I am his little sister He was a whistleblower for the FDA Maybe was them sent him away He was a football player He didn't have a lot to say That guy's a lousy actor He was a hard-core cracker He wore a trench coat and he waved a Dixie flag But he's my brother so I brag Don't be no dark naysayer So they all said he was a fag He had a really big trench mouth When we were living way down south He had a really big trench mouth He had a really big trench mouth When we were living way down south He had a really big trench mouth It's on the edge of nowhere No way for them to go there I know I'm not much help But here is where I'll stay I'm hoping they'll find him someday I should put up some flyers Can you think of another way? He had a really big trench mouth When we were living way down south Then he up and disappeared He just left his car up here He had a really big trench mouth When we were living way down south He had a really big trench mouth Nobody seems to know why he Would disappear just leaving me here On a dirty hill for all time Me and the pine tree I stand behind He had a really big trench mouth When we were living way down south He had a really big trench mouth |

Experiment victims walk by on a hill
With berries in aprons, I still see them Still see black empty eyes staring, no hair yet ahead There's no dignity there, they're not living not dead Swayback and ripcord, parachute face Were pulled from the water and put in a place I've not been to, but what you'll find Is the Kommandant hoarding, the vegetable rinds It's not like they mattered Who sucked out your spirit? Listen how we shout at them They can't hear it It's not fair And it seems impossible That it happened at all That there were people who saw The herb girls of Birkenau The herb girls of Birkenau walk by on a hill With berries in aprons, I still see them, still It's not fair And it seems impossible That it happened at all That there were people who saw the herb girls But what's fair? Anything is possible But can you understand That there were people who saw the herb girls? It's not fair And it seems impossible That there were people, there There were people who saw the herb girls of Birkenau |

The fly
Of may It lives One day When that day is done The mayfly does not complain It flies into the setting sun It goes back to the place From which it came The fly Of may Ask how Ask why One day May fly That's all You get You give No thought To it Me, my life is long With reasons few like you When I go, and when I'm gone I will understand these things I never knew The fly Of may One day one day one day one day It's long enough If you really think about it The fly Of may It lives One day |

Against the law to talk about the
Rocket in the park I send it Off to be examined by a Scientific team On the moon, on the moon On the moon, on the moon I organize a council where the Prize goes unannounced until there's In the trees a city, just some Leaves we left it pretty Long ago, long ago Long ago, oh so long ago Chorus: I have half-a-mind, it's cracked and breaking It's recommended as great for tasting Spit in the face of a tried and true one These are things that I'm gonna do My cave is lit with tiny lights I climb the stairs and catch the sights Of other people far below I've heard of them, they think they know I make no friends, I've got no spark In my defense, I take apart What's put together easily This is all true I'll make it be Everyday like Jesus He's not Up there He can't see us Maybe eyes uplifted slowly for effect The land below me Far away, far away Far away, oh so far away Chorus I make no friends, I've got no spark In my defense, I take apart What's put together easily This is all true I'll make it be Chorus |

I want a diamond, I really do
I think that you should give me one Then you can prove your love is true And that the gift giving has just begun I want that diamond, I want that thing A tennis bracelet, a ring It better shine, it better cut I know it is expensive but... What other way can you make four months of your measly salary last a lifetime And what other thing have I ever asked you for Besides... The ability to read my mind And I didn't get that either, Yet I want that diamond, I want it so All of my irritating friends will know That I have worth, not only that But that you love me even though I'm fat I want that thing, I want it now I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it You can rob a store, There just is nothing I want more Than diamond jewelry for me And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me! Even some little stud earrings Give me the goddamned diamond!!! |

The ostrich and the egret
Had a very fine flat to live Figurine hutch, no the place wasn't much But they got a peacock His belongings were meager but He was pretty would bring good luck They would sing songs around the piano And do the cakewalk He would say what he's gonna do He would say what he wanted to Ostrich and egret were filled with regret But the rent's well worth him He felt things that they'd never felt Like the slap of a feather belt So, still they sit by the fireplace silent A chill ran through them Ostrich and egret and peacock Had very small dreams Thinking of them just reminds me of calendar scenes Nobody's laughing when everyone's weeping, it seems So, that's how we quit the forest The scene wasn't what it used to be The scene is never what it used to be So, that's how we quit the forest The scene wasn't what it used to be The scene is never what it used to be So, that's how we quit the forest |

I'm the lucky one
Always having fun I tie back my hair I sit and watch T.V. I see only me Though I look for you there Oh, where have you gone? Were you canceled? I change to channel 2 You were the one Who gave me all my answers I changed So did you Try another show with the volume low I make up what they say Where it used to be your face Is an empty face Your co-stars look away Oh, where have you gone And do you miss me And what we used to do? You were the one Who'd talk and smile for half an hour Always new I'm the lucky one I watch a re-run It looks a lot like you One star lost a family One family lost a star That's why I wait and watch To find out where you are One family lost a star One star, they lost their family That's why I sit at home alone And watch T.V. I can watch forever I can watch for hours It just gets better It gives me power I can watch for hours I can watch forever It gives me pleasure It makes me better I'm the lucky one Always having fun |
