When I tell you that I love you
Don't test my love Accept my love don't test my love Cause maybe I don't love you all that much Don't ask what kind of music I'm gonna play tonight Just stay awhile Hear for yourself awhile And if you must put me in a box Make sure it's a big box With lots of windows And a door to walk through And a nice high chimney So we can burn burn burn Everything that we don't like And watch the ashes Fly up to Heaven Maybe all the way to India I'd like that All the ancient kings came to my door They said, |

When Kurt Cobain blew out his brain
All the little girls, they cried like rain And as for me I felt the pain But I got no T-shirts left to stain For Kennedy and Jesse James And Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain You can hear them crying down the lane From Portland to Maryland, from Greece to Spain As my life drips like coffee down the drain My eyes dry up like a rusty chain So Kennedy and Jesse James Will have to cry for Kurt Cobain It's a hard life and no one's to blame When God's not on the morning train If Cain don't kill Abel, Abel kills Cain And tears now shed are shed in vain For Kennedy and Jesse James And Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain There's three new roses growing in the lane It was a long hard winter, but now there's rain If you want my tears, tell me your name Give me your hand, let me feel your pain But for Kennedy and Jesse James There's Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain |

Sometimes I walk and wish L.A. were some small town in Monterey
I close my eyes and ask the Gods to make those Cadillacs, dusty dogs I close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another day Sometimes I think I'll melt away and in the sidewalk cracks I'll stay And who will notice, who will call, 'cause life won't change much, if at all I close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another day Another day, so far from the farms where I grew up Another day, another day, another day so far from that single pair of eyes That speak to me of home, not another night alone Another day is done, I lay my eyes to rest There's food, I've got a bed and there's a roof above my head Sometimes, I think that everyone really speaks a foreign tongue Like I say 'X' and you hear 'Y' but I push these thoughts from my mind And close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another day I close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another day |

I don't know what made me go out that night
At that hour I’d normally been in bed But I found myself looking up at the sky And a very bright light straight overhead It flashed green, then red... Santa Claus colors I stood there frozen in that light Then I started hearing this kind of a whir The lights got louder and the noise got brighter And I felt a sudden chill--brrr It was cold... I shouldn’t have gone out with a coat My Mom was right again Then this old big old spaceship floated down And hovered three feet above the earth Never been so scared in all my life Could’ve given spontaneous birth If I was a woman... and pregnant Then these two little guys about 4 feet tall Jumped off that space-age Greyhound bus They grabbed by the arms and said, "Start walking Dan, you’re coming with us." Abduction They didn’t actually speak, but I understood ‘em Telepathy The strapped down to this metal crate Took out this 35-foot-long hose This said, "Don't worry, this won’t hurt." Then they stuck that sucker up my nose All the way up I knew my nose was long, but... this was a surprise They examined me from head to toe Stuck prods in every orifice This cold gray box came and gave me a kiss Then extracted a couple of quarts of piss I felt dehydrated Then they waved this wand all around my head, said, "Now we’re reading your brain, you see You got an awful lot of songs in there Though it seems they're all in the key of G" I said, "What about Marilyn? That’s in D." They said, "D flat, actually" I said, "Yeah, 'cause I tune down a half a step. What about Hannibal?" They said, "What about Hannibal?" I said, "Well, technically it's in G but it's really a dropped D tuning capo’d up." They said, "How come you don’t play the harmonica more?" I said, "How come I‘m in a spaceship talking to aliens about my act?" They said, "We’d rather talk physics, but you're illiterate there." Couldn’t argue They dropped me some place in Brazil Took a month to get back to the U.S.A. When I told my friends what I’d been through No one believed what I had to say That sucked It's to be expected though Most people think "Hannibal"’s in straight tuning Well, my life’s back to normal now I do the things I always do ‘Cept once a week I meet with twelve other folks who've been abducted too I tell my story, they tell theirs I don’t believe them, though |
