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

All dressed in white
Come before you, come before you
Confused, confused

You study hard and go west
You'll go far, little girl
Now try hard and be the best
The best in all the world
You can create a demand
For this your special skill
You will be healing the ill
It's surgery but with no knife
She'll make a leechwife

You get the suckers to suck
To suck out what is bad
'Cause this is science not luck
Luck is not what you've had
But now you've brought yourself up
Surprise your mom and dad
With this, your special skill
You will be improving your life
She'll make a leechwife

You don't need no new age crap
Good sense is what it makes
You'll learn it in no time flat
One leech is all it takes
It sucks the blood till it's fat
It's found in ponds and lakes
The dried up skin then turns black
You can can be one of the fakes
The quacks and the riff-raff
She's honing her leechcraft

All healed and none killed
Leech empty, leech filled
She's honing her leechcraft skills
Just think of the folks that she will heal
She'll make a leechwife

You don't own me, no.
I'm not one of your little toys.
You don't own me, no.
You can't keep me from those other boys.

Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say.
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display.

You don't own me, no.
Don't try to change me in any way.
You don't own me, no.
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay.

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do.
Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you.

You don't own me, no.
I'm not one of your little toys.

Don't put me on display.

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do.
Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you.

I'm wrong.
I love to be free.

I'm wrong. yeah, I love to be wrong.
I'm free. yeah, I love to be free.
Free to do whatever I want.
To live my life the way I please.

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 claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passerby laughed

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

I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar

The first time I met him
He said he was a Dwarfstar
'Cause he was small
And he was famous

I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar

The second time I met him
He said I could never be a Dwarfstar
Because I was too tall
And I wasn't famous

I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar

The third, the second time I mean
That I went to see him
He was not in a very good mood
He said, "Stop comin' around here"

I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar

The last time
That I went to see him
He had passed away

I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya

I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the Dwarfstar

The end

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

Medieval exorcists
Used a 20 gallon brass syringe.

A 20 gallon brass syringe
Filled with holy water

now...
now...

A 20 gallon brass syringe
Filled with holy water
Which they pumped into..
Into the anus of the possessed....

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

My Little Shirtwaist Fire
Once it started
The frail and fainthearted
Just withered to the floor
Oh, so sadly
We examined hands burned badly
By that which no man fears more.
The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
My best friend
Was alone in the alcove,
Does anyone see her there?
Such a sweet face
Trapped in a staircase
By the smell of her own burning hair and the
Terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there,
Nobody knows what we saw inside there.
Twisting and burning, the girls' fine young bodies
Yes, we're burning can you help us please?
Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees
Oh, My Little Shirtwaist Fire.
Girls work hard for
Small rewards or
Invatations to dine.
Or one kind word from
One who loves them but
What I have earned is mine-
The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire

All that I have is this dull paring knife
Peeling potatoes the rest of my life.
Dirt floors make dust so I hope for the best.
I carry candles with pains in my chest.
Face tied together with three-times-used string
Follow me see what I mean.
Fixing a fencepost or feeding a cow
Twopenny saltlick I never ask how
Animals like me though folks turn away
I like the pigeons I like what they say.
We come alone and leave alone and look the horse in the mouth.
We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south.
By the side of the stump where she told me thises things
If you hear a bell ring you get some wings.
Don't bother looking for what I've neglected to bring.
By the side of the stump where she told me these things
If you hear a bell ring you get some wints
She's fallen father than featers tat float in the wind.
I saw a wishing well down by the stream
I never understood what wishes mean.
Just ask for nothing you get what you get.
I asked for something I've not got it yet

Nozzle, nodule, eraser, chip: a few thoughts on the subject by a little nothing. What was so obviously strange, yet mystifying true about the whole situation, was Miss Connie Pallups failure to grasp that the time was indeed now if she was to ever recover vitality to her immortal envelope. Oh sure, she liked perfume, and she had a lot of it, too. But pampered wisps do not a clothdoll make. And there we have a lesson that is easier to speak of, than it is to -how you say- live by?

If you want to know how
To fly high, then go now
To the place where all the concubines...
Meet and converse with them
Marvel at their pale skin
Wonder how they chew on their pointy...
Teeth and hair are beauty
They know it's their duty
To be countess in their hearts and their...
Minds that have to whisper
See in them a sister
Look into their eyes and you'll become
Transylvanian Concubine.
You know what flows here like wine.
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.
Sorrow is their master
Cackling with laughter
Now he's having just one piece of...
Cakey is their make-up
Catholics try to shake up
All the things that form their lives, but they're...
Dead, their sighs, their songs
They know what they do is wrong.
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.
Candelabra's lighted
Satan has been sighted
Never has there been an evening like...
This is what they wanted
Always to feel hunted
You can never be too rich or too...
Thin. The blood has run out.
Fangs ruin any cute pout
Morning has come now they've flown
What have you learned from what has been shown?

You had plenty money 1922
You let all the women make a fool of you
Why don't ya do right.....
Like some of the men do
Get out-a here
Get me some money too
Your sitting down wondering what it's all about
If ya ain't got no money they will...put you out

I keep pictures of him in my mind yeah you know the
kind they curl up on the edges, the corners are bended
into a trickpulled from behind.Physically he is serene he looks good he looks
clean yeah I know he's dead but I know what he
said and I think I might know what he mean.With many thanks for your well, well wishes he says
believe me, sincerely yours
Mr. E Leon Rauis would say
it's sentiment which he abhors.Seventeen Union Square North did he walk back and
forth in the glass at the shop did he smile did he
stop for awhile did he question his worth?Seventeen Union Square West dressed up looking his best
Mr. E. Leon Rauis could never know
how this would seem his one small request.With many thanks for your well, well wishes he says
believe me, sincerely yours
Mr. E Leon Rauis would say
it's sentiment which he abhors.Regretfully so he still wants you to know of the
things in his heart he can't say.His penmenship does a disservice,
It's illegible to this day.Oh, Mr. E. Leon Rauis believe me
I hope it all turned out O.K.Picking a shop for the shoot did he buy a new
suit? was he tall, was he kind, did he finally
find it that day, was his end absolute?He got old like everyone, was he somebody's
son? did he fall, did he try to succeed or deny
what he knew or things he had done?

The similarities and situation between the Donner Party and the Colonial Pilgrims is
both appalling, frightening, and incomplete. In both cases, you'll find one: a fairly large
group of ill-prepared greenhorns pitting themselves against nature and each other; two:
an insufficient willingness to endure the very real hardships of frontiering, and three:
coincidental misfortune at every turn.
Disasters of both camps were initially brought about by departure, delay, desert, inertia;
which caused our heroes to begin their journeys at absolutely retarded times weather-
wise. If fantasy is the refuge of a frightened man, and a castle in the air is a safe harbor
for a foolish few, just imagine living in a hut buried twelve feet below the snow, with the
sight and smell of the scattered carcasses of loved ones at your feet; it is the lay of the
land, just another day. I would like to propose that cannibalism was indeed rampant
among America's earliest settlers: The Pilgrims. For what does settler imply, if not the
willingness to settle? To settle for a meal of human flesh if my thoughts on the subject
are to be believed. In conclusion, spread the word of this. Look to the night sky, and
hark back to our forefathers' shortcomings, (and your own), as you cut your meat and
lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow

Morning has broken and what do I see but
those same bloody fingerprints following me
it don't pay to be careful don't pay to be nice
So it's backwards and forwards and back again twice
I don't think I'll try it again.
Guilty was all that I felt until now

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
I think that

Two big babies met
On a winter's day.
They thought they'd get
All dressed up to play.So they went outside,
Never to return.
They laugh, they hide.
Babies never learn.But they cry and they cry.
Who said babies never die?
They cry.
Who said babies nev

He want you to put this plate of crumbs back into the frigerator
When you do, he wants you to make sure to bring this plate with dessert later
Stand to the right
Give him a bite
Insulate the bed
Shoot him up when he's dead.
He wants you to take a box kleenex and cut it with a knife
Use a stack of tissues for each hand
killing germs could save his life
Climb into the cockpit
He drops his pants to grin
Just act like it's nothing
Just nod and smile at him.
Howard Hughes pops a valium blue

Howard Hughes has got something on you

And the toenails they wrap around him

He wants you to seal windows and doors of his hotel room with tape
He will be alowed to pee on floors
cause his codeine constipates.
Listen to him moan
About a multi million loan
Don't answer the phone.
It's been a long time since he's flown.

We like it a lot
Our small eyes are tearing for what we have not
Our small eyes are tearing for what we have not
The nice pipe is here

They saw her break through barriers forty feet high
It was the finest moment in a long life
Young boys would hang her pictures over their bed
They saw her mouth move but they couldn't hear what she said
You're a souvenir a darling dear
She used to say tha

Dig Ophelia

Flowers madness and polar bear rug
Here's the water, just ankle deep high
Lay back relax and look up at the sky.
Your eyes never close
your mind's not at rest
Lay back, get waterlogged
Give us a kiss
Water spreads the small s

If you think real hard about the aches, the card, the blackboard that you've drawn on for so long. You realize that it's gone, and with it that swan song, the mirror of your life has turned to shards. If that means broken glass, na'er you won't have the chance to laugh at those who always laughed at you. Think back - yes it's cool, to jump up and be through, when even worser things have come to pass

She was born in an oil-drum South side of Chicago
When East St. Louis was not far away.
She'd lace knives to her boots and go down to the riverbed
Skate around and around till the night became day.The cannery fellows would follow her everywhere
From the grocery store to the B.Q.E.
With their hearts all aglow from her icy back-at-you stare.
When her teeth became tight when her eyes couldn't see.And she told herself that this was enough.
For a girl who was born in an oil-drum
She had her skates didn't need lots of stuff.
She didn't need it but she still wanted some.She had one thing that she liked and she kept around
She would take it with her to the riverbed.
As she skated around she always thought of a pretty sound
That she heard as a girl in her mother's bed.
The sound of some breathing another breath in and out
When some lungs expand and contract like they do.
And she looked at herself in the ice of the riverbed and
She saw a girl one which she could see through.

You're not the boy that you say you are.
You come from outerspace you drive a rental car.
Thanks, but no thanks just the same.Time was when this became obvious.
You're eyes were never clear, you did not eat enough.
Strangely afraid of the rain.Trust all stars.
Never ask your way around.
Buffalo is Venus.
Texas is a town.Planets we know do come and go
When meltable aliens run toward the snow.
Missions are fine but piece of mind
Won't come from a boyfriend who lies all the time.Alien wishes won Damn the sight
Scanning those soggy skies with a small reading light.
harder to see late at night.Millions of listeners close their ears
Hoping their dinner's warm stifling sunny cheers.
Wait till dinner's done to start to fight.

They know what they do is wrong
Stay here with us, it's just time
Transylvanian Concubine

Candelabra's lighted
Satan has been sighted
Never has there been an evening like

This is what they wanted
Always to feel hunted
You can never be too rich or too

Thin. The blood has run out
Fangs ruin any cute pout
Morning has come now they've flown
What have you learned from what has been shown

He want you to put this plate of crumbs back into the frigerator
When you do, he wants you to make sure to bring this plate with dessert later
Stand to the right
Give him a bite
Insulate the bed
Shoot him up when he's dead.
He wants you to take a box kleenex and cut it with a knife
Use a stack of tissues for each hand
killing germs could save his life
Climb into the cockpit
He drops his pants to grin
Just act like it's nothing
Just nod and smile at him.
Howard Hughes pops a valium blue
and he reclines the naked chair
and watches just one more movie
Howard Hughes has got something on you
when the fingers grow long
And the toenails they wrap around him
Howard Hughes
What he did
What he'd do
He wants you to seal windows and doors of his hotel room with tape
He will be alowed to pee on floors
cause his codeine constipates.
Listen to him moan
About a multi million loan
Don't answer the phone.
It's been a long time since he's flown.

She was born in an oil-drum South side of Chicago
When East St. Louis was not far away.
She'd lace knives to her boots and go down to the riverbed
Skate around and around till the night became day.The cannery fellows would follow her everywhere
From the grocery store to the B.Q.E.
With their hearts all aglow from her icy back-at-you stare.
When her teeth became tight when her eyes couldn't see.And she told herself that this was enough.
For a girl who was born in an oil-drum
She had her skates didn't need lots of stuff.
She didn't need it but she still wanted some.She had one thing that she liked and she kept around
She would take it with her to the riverbed.
As she skated around she always thought of a pretty sound
That she heard as a girl in her mother's bed.
The sound of some breathing another breath in and out
When some lungs expand and contract like they do.
And she looked at herself in the ice of the riverbed and
She saw a girl one which she could see through.

If you want to know how
To fly high, then go now
To the place where all the concubines...
Meet and converse with them
Marvel at their pale skin
Wonder how they chew on their pointy...
Teeth and hair are beauty
They know it's their duty
To be countess in their hearts and their...
Minds that have to whisper
See in them a sister
Look into their eyes and you'll become
Transylvanian Concubine.
You know what flows here like wine.
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.
Sorrow is their master
Cackling with laughter
Now he's having just one piece of...
Cakey is their make-up
Catholics try to shake up
All the things that form their lives, but they're...
Dead, their sighs, their songs
They know what they do is wrong.
Stay here with us, it's just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.
Candelabra's lighted
Satan has been sighted
Never has there been an evening like...
This is what they wanted
Always to feel hunted
You can never be too rich or too...
Thin. The blood has run out.
Fangs ruin any cute pout
Morning has come now they've flown
What have you learned from what has been shown?

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
I think that

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

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
