Well, girl I wanna be your dog
But I won't roll over no more
Got me tail 'tween my legs
And begging on the floor
Maybe I shit the bed
Don't mean I gotta sleep outdoors
Girl I wanna be your dog
But I won't roll over no more
Girl I know I'm just a mutt
And you took me in as a stray
Gave all the love I had to give
Still neutered me anyway
I just wanna sit on your lap
That's why I hump your leg all day
Maybe if you showed some love
I wouldn't run away
'Cos all this time I've been yearning
For your love to start burning
And my back has been breaking
Tryna please you
I swear to God this could be doggone good
But you're a bitch and that's understood
Girl I wanna be your dog
But I won't roll over no more
All the tricks I do for you
Are becoming a mighty chore
All your berating's getting grating
I might sneak out the dog door
Girl I wanna be your dog
But I won't roll over no more
Girl I wanna be your dog
But I'm tired of all the pain
Been waiting by the window
For you to come home all day
But when you do, you throw your shoe
And I smell another guy's spray
Girl I wanna be your dog
But I'm seeing there's no way
'Cos all this time I've been yearning
For your love to start burning
And my back has been breaking
Tryna please you
I swear to God I'm better off alone
So come on girl, throw this dog a bone

New Year, Old Me
03:21
|

Well it’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve been reflecting
Exorcising and introspecting
The demons that I’ve met in this past year
The bottle’s getting close to empty
I reckon it’s a reflection of me
I wonder what happens when the bottom clears
Been trying to keep my mind off it
Tried to drown it and tried to drop it
But it’s stagnant like a puddle in the road
I tried to dried it and I tried to drink it
Forget it and over think it
Tried wading in it with just my toes
But what do ya know...
It left me stained
And I can’t tell what remains
Of the man that you know
Well it’s New Year’s Day and nothing’s changed
Couldn’t think of resolutions that I wanted to break
Might as well keep on going like I been
I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting reckless
Like a splff or two for my breakfast
And five or six for supper with my drink
The bottle is way past empty
I reckon it’s a reflection of the hollowness developed in my heart
It’s hard to come back from the bottom
Maybe this year I’ll be able to solve it
But it’s already been ten years since I decided to start
It sure is hard...
When you’re left stained
And I can’t find any good way
To become the man I’m meant to be
I guess I’ll wait till next New Year’s Eve

Oh My
03:32
|
|||
I’ve spent all the days
Since you left
In a haze
But I can’t hear your voice no more
I can’t remember your face
You just won’t leave my heart, my love
You make my mind crazed
I don’t know what to do
Even the horse misses you
It seems such a wicked fate
Oh my, I still love you
Oh I don’t think I want to
Oh but I do
I’ve lost all my will
To go on anymore
My heart is so hard now
My frowning brow is sore
You’ve left me with a hole, my love
My soul, it aches each day
I’m crying in a corner
My loneliness won’t go away
Oh my, I still love you
Oh I don’t think I want to
Oh how I so miss you
I just wanna kiss you
Under the stars

Odessa

Odessa
Die spinne weib du da bist
You can cry me a river somewhere else
Don’t make a difference what you did
There ain’t no west for the wicked
Does the branding cause you pain?
Does your skin burn in the rain?
Can’t undo what you did
There ain’t no west for the wicked
O! the spider web
Is blown away in the wind
Odessa
The goosestepping line of rats
You better watch your back
Round here you gotta draw fast
Or dig your own grave round back
They’ve strung the hanging tree
The crowds have gathered to see
They’ve come in their Sunday best
To rid the wicked from their west
O! the spider web
Is blown away in the wind

I Don't Know
04:11
|

Jesus Christ could’ve been right
But I don’t know
Or maybe God is in us all
I don’t know
I must say it would be nice
To end up in paradise
I might be wrong
Is this hell?
I don’t know
There’s a beast at a fiery feast
Or so I’m told
He wants us to swim with him in a lake of brimstone
Well a snake could give me proof
To the knowledge of the truth
Even then I have a feeling
I still won’t know
Well it seems unlikely that anybody
Has the answers or knows quite rightly
What the hell is going on with anything at all
You say that and they say this
The rest just pick and ass to kiss
Or kick or kill or maybe nibble on a bit
There could be Greys gonna make us slaves
I don’t know
There could be Thetans in my soul
I don’t know
There could be a card up the sleeve
Of the Illuminati
I don’t know
And I probably won’t
And so it goes
The Men in Black could be at my back
But I don’t know
The governments could worship Satan
I don’t know
9/11 could’ve been
An inside incident
I wouldn’t be surprised
But I wasn’t there
So I don’t know
Well it seems unlikely that anybody
Has the answers or knows quite rightly
What the hell is going on with anything at all
You say that and they say this
The rest just pick and ass to kiss
Or kick or kill or maybe nibble on a bit
I met the girl of my dreams
That much I know
I love her more than any other
And I want her to know
She’s in my every waking thought
But then I found out that I’m not
Just goes to show you might be sure
You just don’t know
Maybe I could have changed her heart
I don’t know
If i had said something else
Or let it go
Maybe a long time from now
We can meet our hearts somehow
Until then I’ll just accept
That I don’t know
Well it seems unlikely that you or I
Have the answers or know quiet rightly
What the hell is going on in either of our hearts
I say this and you say that
But doll, I’ll always have your back
Even when it’s turned to me, I love you
And that’s all I know
Sweetheart, I love you
And that’s all I know

Nothing Compares
04:51
|

Oh darling, I have kissed the sky
I’ve dined with the man in the moon
While the comets fly by
I’ve been to Mars
And sang your favorite Neptune
I dance and twirled in Jupiter’s eye
And skipped to Ras Alhague
But nothing compares to Ur anus
It calls to me in my dreams
So luminous
And gravity has nothing on me
I’ll surf the rim of a black hole
To get back to you, miss
‘Cos nothing compares to Uranus
I’ve seen Mercury
A nebula or three
I’ve ridden the Horsehead all down the Way, Milky
Babe, I’ve seen it all
Universal and small
I’ve passed through the spaces between the spaces
In between
But nothing compares to Uranus
It calls to me in my dreams
So luminous
And gravity has nothing on me
I’ll surf the rim of a black hole
To get back to you, miss
‘Cos nothing compares to Uranus
Well doll, I’ve flown from one end
Of this galaxy to the other
But I don’t know if there is anything better
I’ve been there and I’ve done that
But lover, I’d do that again
‘Cos nothing compares...

I'm Going Away
06:44
|

I’m going away
I’m going away
Far from here
I’m sick of this place
The train is leaving
It’s leaving with me
An endless frontier
I ‘m sure I’ll miss some things
But mostly I fear that I won’t hear
The poetry of your words
On my dissonant soul
Where does it go after this?
No one round here would know
So...
Take me out of this bullshit town
Feel so corralled, just going round
Don’t worry
I’m going away
Far from you
I’m sick of this face
This place is fading
It’s fading from view
The final frontier
I’ll miss some things, I’m sure
But I know that i’ll miss you
‘Cos I already do
I miss the melody of your voice
With the music of my soul
Where do I go after this?
I guess nowhere
Or somewhere in the middle
So...
Take me out of this bullshit town
Feel so corralled, just going round
Couldn’t pick a day, so how ’bout now?
Been so corralled by these bullshit clowns

Country First
04:29
|

“’Well I never served in the war
Hell, I hardly step out of my door
Gun in hand, whiskey in the other
I put country first over my brother
I got the TV on, the radio too
Country on one, the other, Fox News
And Alex Jones is rattlin’ his bones
While Garth Brooks bends bout his low-placed friends
Well I don’t know nothing ‘bout no astrology
‘Cos the star and stripes is all I need
God bless the US at its best and worst
And God bless the world, but our country first’”
“’First of all, I think you meant astronomy
Your ignorance pulls at my sympathy
But your microagression has become my obsession
And I’ll shout you down and try to run you out of town
Well, it’s left or bust and other slogans of that ilk
An orgy of fluidity, uncertainty and guilt
Let’s see who can be louder than the other
My whole life I’ve been a victim to my country and my brother
Well I know a thing or two of the privilege of the white
I’m a bonafide cracker and I oppress day and night
God don’t exist or there’d be justice in this world
If he did, he’d be a she
And I’d be all “You go girl”’”
Well my friends, I’ve a few things to say
Both your sides are different but ultimately the same
Anger on one, rage on the other
It’s the age old tale of brother against brother
And it’s alright that you are this way
Everyone’s evolving every moment, every day
But you’re gonna scream to death
On the right, on the left
Till we’re all deaf and it don’t matter anyway
So quiet your voices and listen for a minute
Sit down, smoke a J and let’s talk about music
I love Motown and I think punk is the worst
Classical and jazzical
But country first
I think we can all agree that it’s country first
