1. Bloody Mary
When life comes down to a sharp point
Onto the head of a pin
Something relieves the pressure
And the cycle begins
All the ladies run to the barstools
Anticipation grows
Mother nature adds the ingredients
The women sip it slow
One day God had to get off his ass
He had to walk to the kitchen and get his own glass
To this glass he had to pour his own booze
For this, his woman had to pay the dues
Now all women must pay this terrible bill
That arrives every month against their will
A crescent hang over, half-irritated smirk
Full migraine cramps, and Maxi-pads don't work!
Have another round now
Complete the recipe
All your pain and anger
Wash into a crimson sea
He who filled your ocean
Sinks not but bobs afloat
Your sweet menstruation
Will capsize his boat
Don't you think it's scary
Life's a Bloody Mary
Blood and alcohol
Makes you think that nothing's wrong
Howling at the moon
When the wolf bane blooms
Raise your glass and toast
To the thing that hurts you most
Drink hard drink deep!
When life comes down to a sharp point
Onto the head of a pin
Something relieves the pressure
And the cycle begins
All the ladies run to the barstools
Anticipation grows
Mother nature adds the ingredients
The women sip it slow
Concentrated into a liquid state
Released out of a spigot, the tampon awaits
Flowing out of the nozzle and into your cup
Although you've had too much, it's bottoms up
Every woman's got a secret with Mother Sun
Saying we'll meet same time same place next month
We'll drink till dawn and we'll reminisce
And we'll bleed for each other with no remiss
Have another round now
Complete the recipe
All your pain and anger
Wash into a crimson sea
He who filled your ocean
Sinks not but bobs afloat
Your sweet menstruation
Will capsize his boat
Don't you think it's scary
Life's a Bloody Mary
Blood and alcohol
Makes you think that nothing's wrong
Howling at the moon
When the wolf bane blooms
Raise your glass and toast
To the thing that hurts you most
Drink hard drink deep!
Excuse me bartender, fill it to the rim
And fetch me a sanitary napkin
To wipe off what's dribblin' down my chin
And forget about the troubles of this month's sin
Every girl washes out the month's bad times
By flushing her cares out into her panty liners
Tabasco sauce stings the memories
No release
Dreadfully eternal
The stain of tomato juice
Never understand why
Your crotch is singin' the blues
Stirring up emotion
With a celery stick
Sickening combination
Your blender loves to mix
2. Egg
Rotting from the inside
Over-incubated by the heat of fear and love
The self's coagulated
Egg...
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Boiling hard in euphemism
Slowly becoming part of the water
Like a frog who never knows
The jacuzzi's getting hotter
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
How'd you know I was looking at you
If you weren't looking at me?
A stagnant pale perfume
Conceived to block the pores
The clotting glands encroach
The endless comfort of a mom
Deep inside my tanning salon
Wishing life was poached
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I can't seem to differentiate
Between the yellow love you give and the white sex I take
I just want to fertilize you
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
The cracks finally appear
Release cholesterol tears
The flooded cyst drains itself of pus
The lonely stomach chills unless it's drunk
So as she drives she'll close her eyes
Feel it warming up inside
Rotting from the inside
Over-incubated by the heat of fear and love
The self's coagulated
Egg...
Oh an egg comes out of a chicken
Oh a chicken comes out of an egg
There's no place like home...
3. Goosebumps
Drowning in your eyes, the brown pools overflow
Immobilize and hypnotize, gimme the chills from below
I'm talkin' to myself, thinking that you are here
I turn around, into the black your shadow disappears
Blood freezes in my veins with your frigid touch
My vital signs are vanished by your gravity into mush
You're so beautiful you scare me to death
My hair stands on end with the warmth of your breath
If I look at myself in the mirror I see a part of you
Unfolding mystery
Your magnetism pulls me closer and out of the blue
You give me the goosebumps
You send shivers up and down my spine
You give me the goosebumps
You make me quiver and stumble my mind
You give me the goosebumps
My knees weaken when I look in your eyes
You give me the goosebumps
For my love I can find no disguise
Beneath the light of the moon I soothe your neck with a kiss
I feel the sting of your blood trickle onto my lips
You're so delicious I taste your poison juice on my tongue
Infinity is killing me and you where we belong
Passion's grip around your throat, strangling in a cartoon
You ooze between my fingers gasping for your last daily wound
I watch you suffocate my pulse accelerates to a blur
A tear falls from my eyes love chokes in a slur
If I look at myself in the mirror I see a part of you
Unfolding mystery
Your magnetism pulls me closer and closer...
You give me the goosebumps
You send shivers up and down my spine
You give me the goosebumps
You make me quiver and stumble my mind
You give me the goosebumps
My knees weaken when I look in your eyes
You give me the goosebumps
For my love I can find no disguise
4. Waltz For Grandma's Sake
Old age wisdom and the world grown bald
But you're still amazed by every little hair that falls
And I wonder if repetition makes one forget
Cuz I'm under the impression that you're fraudulent
You're not really old
Tantrums reveal that rich experience
And those naked gums - the loss of all your confidence
Then you serve a dish I try hard to avoid
And it's backwards, my learnation is going to be destroyed
Finding worth in the worthless
Time spent learning to regress
I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there
But there's something else inside
I try to be polite, make you feel all right
I can be anything you like
I'll be a virgin forever
Cataracts - everyone's the same old blur
And those stale snacks make me feel and feign inferior
But I'll make believe, trying to cooperate
And I hope you don't see me hide it underneath my plate
I'll get a backache and stumble over both left feet
Awake nervous knowing that we'll meet
Must I tolerate this useless game we dance and sing?
Cuz I don't relate, and I'm not learning anything at all
Force a circle into a square dance
Insist the future try and relive the past
I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there
But there's something else inside
I try to be polite, make you feel all right
I can be anything you like
I'll be a virgin forever
I don't wanna dance, na na na...
5. Carousel
A carnival for the human race
Cotton candy, happy face
A child talking with his mouth full
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal
A festive mood is all around
Another world is what we've found
Step right up, let's make a deal
Let's ride on the ferris wheel
You know there's something lurking underneath the shape
With a mask over it's head and makeup on his face
Into the house of mirrors goes a clown and his elf
Take a look in the mirror and see the clown in yourself
Spinning
Grinning
Believing
Deceiving
Whirling
Twirling
Confusing
Amusing
Discovery
Recovery
Inherency
Transparency
Fusion
Conclusion
Reality
Fatality
If you want to know what's behind the show
You ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell
Love and blood begin to meld, you've lost the self that you once held
Merry go round your head - awake, asleep, alive, or dead.
The clown that painted a smile on you
Is now the one unmasking you
Animated scenes unwind
Dormant figures come to life
Entangled in your own web
A twisted tunnel overhead
A glimpse of light, a drop of dew
You slide into the swimming pool
A roller coaster ride into the rivers of your mind
The currents merge, your feelings surge, your life's a pantomime
Beauty is the spiral going round & round the beast
Without the vampire effect the carnival is deceased
Fun.
Roly Poly
Topsy turvy
Hang upside down
Fall to the ground
I think I'm going to be sick
6. Definition Of Shapes
Ideas from the bottom of the ocean
Refracted by the different densities
Mr. Fisherman don't catch a full load
He just keeps floating on the surface endlessly
These morals are lines
Drawn around this shape of mine
Enclosed in the perfect design
Into this ethics mold confined
Define sense
One man's sin is another man's goal
One man's bowels is another man's soul
One man's god is another man's slave
One man's cartoon is another man's creed
One man's jelly is another man's dickweed
One man's flirt is another man's rape
Two definitions for the same shape!
Assumptions from an invalid standpoint
Trying to prove an argument formed amoronically
One place you won't find me Mr. Logic
Is in your dictionary
These morals are lines
Drawn around this shape of mine
Enclosed in the perfect design
Into this ethics mold confined
Define sense
One man's sin is another man's goal
One man's bowels is another man's soul
One man's god is another man's slave
One man's cartoon is another man's creed
One man's jelly is another man's dickweed
One man's flirt is another man's rape
Two definitions for the same shape!
INXS Plagiarism!
