I Love You

What you got, what do you got
You've got nothing... NOTHING
on ME now, look at ME now
I'm nothing!!!!
Give me a sign, you give me a sign, give me a sign, you give me a sign
I get sick each winter and I float like a turd
till the bug goes home
till the bug goes
I read your letter in the dark, it was make believe
mostly auto-complete
from machine to machine
What you want, what do you want
You want nothing... NOTHING
from ME now, look at ME now
I'm nothing!!@!!!!!!@!@!@!
You're on my mind, you are on my mind, you're on my mind you are on my mind
I get sick each summer and I act like a jerk
looking up your skirt like I deserve it
I read your letter with a microscope
using straight boy logic
like a noose wrapped around my throat
I tried to take the word "I"
out of my mind
Become a serious creature with a serious life
Expanding across to superior planes
With a microwave phasing out my brain
And a microwave
cooking all the stuff
my body needs
my body's nothing
Oh I love you

Look up and say YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Peel me like BANANA
but don't believe every word you hear
Goodness I'm so naKED
but don't believe every word you hear
YAAAAAAAAA
Camera
You got nice flash
but don't believe every word you hear
Boyfriend
Won'y you see ME
but don't believe every word you hear
I'm a mammal with a hairy head
I never wanted to be so afraid
In the jelly of a tidal wave
I never wanted to be so afraid
OH YAAAAAAAA
Ha! Pick it up, get on the floor, do your push ups do your sit ups
Do your chores do your homework you were good you were bad you were good again you were bad
Just so you know you're getting graded and if you don't get in line and if you don't get on the floor and if you don't tie your shoes in a perfect figure eight there's gonna be a big problem on your hands
Here we go!
Wow wow what a special day!
I'm an ape stuck in a glass of Tang
I never wanted to be so afraid
All my buddies took my voice away
I never wanted to be so afraid
No my fairies all abandoned me
I never wanted to be so afraid

Thank Death

What's your prison what's your passion
Where'd you learn to keep your ass clenched
How'd you lose your barefoot dancing
Cover up your guts, unhandsome
Watch your weight and watch your witness
Testify to your poor fitness
and all the kids on the world wide web will let you know
that you are worthless
And no one cares, and no one cares
What's your prison what's your passion
I'll tell you baby your not gonna last
The table's set you can decorate it
but this is all you get, this is all you
Get to good and gut the rest
the greatest guts are gushing shit
you can suck the sting and drink the rash in
I need ya in the wreck with the pariahs
Tortured tethered still ferocious
Kill your master, rip his throat then
Thank death
When you don't give a fuck anymore
And I don't care and I don't care
Thank death
When you don't give a fuck anymore

I Want to Party

My container is full of files
that plug in with three silver wires
An out of date IO the machine is junk
My time capsule won't tell me much
Aluminum towers lookin egg shell blank
No Vegas glitter no human stank
I giant egg carton shoved under the ground
And I'm a mile from a mile from a mile away
From Party Away From Party
Well I got my prints clipped
Two eyes replaced
A 7 digit number
Stamped in my face
I'm feeling so high
I'll ride it till I kill the whale
Kill the whale
My ship blowing by
I'll rage until I kill the whale
My T assistant is coughing mildly
She thinks that's how we greeted in my day
She pulls me around but won't show me a
party Party PARTY
I'm a weary traveler get your hands off me
Let me think of something get your hands off me
Let me catch my breath well yeah you're poking now you're poking at me where's my party where's my party
Taking ten injections for the atrophy
Well I'm quite allergic to the new vaccines
I'm feeling so high
I'll ride it till I kill the whale
Kill the whale
My ship blowing by
I'll rage until I kill the whale
I want to party
I want to party
I want to party
I want to party
I want to take a call in America
I want to take a shower at a small motel
I want to unwrap a variety pack of my Frosted Flakes and my Sugar Smacks
I want drop my change in a sewer vent
I want to see Judge Judy sitting there on the bench
I want to tell a story 'bout my old friends
but I can't make sense no I can't make sense of it

Hot for Sick

Enamored with your sickness
You're a puddle in a blanket
Hugging urchins by the window
in an ocean full of microbes
I hope you stop the bleeding oh
I hope you let the feeling go
But even when your temperature flows
I'lll still be your baby love
Take me like a tablet
I'm a capsule full of wishes
I'm like Tarzan in your colon
Swinging through your polyps
I hope you stop the bleeding oh
I hope you let the feeling go
But even when your temperature flows
I'lll still be your baby love
And when you're broken down and done
I will lick your wounds with tongue
And when you're broken down and done
I will kiss each rash, each one
And when you're broken down and done
I will wipe you off like dung
And when you're broken down and done
I'll make sure you know my love
I hope you stop the bleeding oh
I hope you let the feeling go
But even when your temperature flows
I'lll still be your baby love

Everybody's watching
Awesome bolt of lightning
Sprinting while high-fiving
We're so amazed at the love that you make for all
Your heart's big enough to take some wounded ones on
Everybody's trying
searching and surviving
You're saving while skydiving
We're so amazed at the love that you make for all
Your heart's big enough to take some wounded ones on
and turn them back around

Space with You
02:50

Let me go to space with you
We'll hug in our astronaut suits
and when we reach Mars we won't want to get off
'cause the trip was so beautiful
Let me raise a person with you
We'll see what person likes to do
and when we're all grown and our baby moves on
our hearts will hurt from feeling so full
Oh I see you hide the wound
Our kids never worry 'bout you
And though you're so strong taking all of this on
You don't have to hide your tears from me too
When I see you tucked away
in bed I whisper your name
and though you're asleep you whisper back to me
I love you more than anything
