1. Blackfeather Shake

Preoccupation in the head
With things you can’t change
Just something somewhere flyin’
High above the ground
Or far below
And drives you crazy – LIKE

Scum of the sky
A crow lies and steals and cheats
Like it’s nothin’
And cause they got no brains
Don’t matter they’re laughin’ at you
Just the same
Up on the telephone wire
Where you can’t get at ‘em

The skies are filled with crows
A sun blotted out
By the black winged maggots
Then they woke me up at five
And I thought about getting’ my gun
But there’s more damn crows
Than there are damn bullets
Schemin’, lyin’
Spy vs. spyin’
A crow always smokes
Your last cigarette
Every crow I’ve known
Drank way too much
Was a real bad tipper
And spit and stuff
Yeh a crow’s about as low
As you can get

Crows, I know
Think we are here
To make their lives a game
Who knows
Whose idea these crows were anyway

SHAKE BLACKFEATHER SHAKE
Call you up for drugs
Any time of night
Expect you not to be irate
SHAKE BLACKFEATHER SHAKE
A crow never cares
If the job gets done
Just as long as
He gets paid
SHAKE BLACKFEATHER SHAKE
Shit on your car
Stab you in the back
And then they laugh right in your face

Blackbird, monchingbird
Got your ravens
And your crows

How the hell can you
Tell them apart?
The crow’s the one
With the shit on his face
And the FUCKED UP PUMAS
Hangin’ out with his buddies
Pitchin’ penies in your backyard

I never trusted a crow
Even the ones I know
‘Cause every crow I’ve known
was a liar
if I thought I could
I’d wis ‘em away today
But until genocide
We’re gonna hafta HANG
SHAKE BLACKFEATHER
SHAKE BLACKFEATHER SHAKE
The bird’s a pain in the ass
Of the human race
SHAKE BLACKFEATHER
SHAKE




2. High Strung

I want something bad
and I just can't have it
They sewed the arms
to the back of my best leather jacket
Got a clock in my pockets
got my ritalin in it
I get to give myself a shot every seven minutes

Can't you tell by now?
Sometimes I do
sometimes I don't
Thought I'd be well by now
I'm just so stressed out
either way I'm just high strung
HIGH STRUNG
I never have any fun
HIGH STRUNG

I'm wound tight as a string
on a car gut racket
Done a lotta mean things
got some real bad habits
I wasted 41 people
in a mall down in Lubbock
I'm just a little uptight, man
I really can't help it

Can't you tell by now?
Sometimes I will
sometimes I won't
Thought I could get by now
I'm just so stressed out
either way I'm just high strung
HIGH STRUNG
I never get nothin' done
HIGH STRUNG

I - always wonder why
can't accept the pace
in life's been set for me
I - always wanna try
climb up on the back
of who's in front of me
Nervous
Breakdown
High Strung




3. Hypochondriac

Worried about the weather
Worried about my heart
I'm just sick to death
of my situation
It's only something I do
to keep my mind off of me
same old conversation
I'm trickin myself again

How I feel
lemme tell you just how
bad I feel

Tried Penicilin and I
tried Valarian tea
I just stopped to think
I may just get myself frozen
got something in my eye
I can't feel my feet
I need an operation
or at least some new medecine

How I feel
lemme tell you just how
bad I feel

Have I ever told you about my heart attack?
I'll tell you every day
And have I ever showed you
I got a set of scars
right across my back
I'm a hypochondriac

I'm worried sick
and I'm
worried to death
and I'm
thinkin' about my mother
You know shes got bad knees
They always say that shit's
in your family lines
my Uncle Si was anemic
had real bad eyes
It's down on me
IT'S DOWN
All my life's a condition
what it's like to be me

I know
what people say
that all my pain
is in my mind
I hate to think
about myself
as a martyr
or a child but
there ain't no one else
who cares at all




4. Spider Desire

Some illusions are not real
It's amazing what your mind
can make you see
it's amazing the things you feel
Just close your eyes
and think of something
that you never thought before
'cause there's eight legs
makin' their way across
the kitchen floor

Reds, greens, blues, magenta
Bill Bennett smokin'
a bowl of placenta
No perception of time, of space
look in the mirror
please just don't be
the same look on your face

Drop to the valley below
Do you truly believe
there's a white cane dry spider
crawlin' outta your girlfriends nose
Just realize
those trippin' images
that you find
are just insectual and blind
All inside your mind

Now tell me Mr. Spider
with your pink & purple dots
Surely you are not for real
surely you are just a htought
maybe not...

You're walkin around
like a zombie
in a thick lysergic daze
Your Uncle Harry's been dead
over 14 years
so why's he lookin' at you
that way
Drive 800 miles in an outomobile
ya got a sheet in a paper sack
with a picture of Nancy Reagan
on the back
No shit, no tricks
IT'S JUST PSYCHEDELICS
Get in the fire
SPIDER DESIRE

It's all around you
ten-pound tarantulas
The things that often
seemed too much
have vanished in the dust
of a thousand widows
And though it often seemed as such
they just dont seem to
touch you anymore.




5. Morbid Curiosities

Nothin' plays on the fears
of a crowd
like a ten care pile-up
Screechin' brakes
Interstate
lost her head
Daddy's never been so proud
of his little angel
she was witness to rape
and she chose to relate
the details on the
eyewitness news

Look away
Somebody else today
Look away
Watch again
Violent crime,
Six, eleven, and at five
Every night
Watch again

MORBID
DECAP

Nothin' gets up the dicks
of a crowwd
like a great disaster
Hurricane
Lays to waste
thousand dead
People love to hear
the sound
love an execution
when it's cool with the state
everyone can relate
to the notion that
killing is fun
Smell the blood
Dragged a hundred million miles
THROUGH THE MUD

Another stay
Live to hang another day
Not today
Watch again
TV news
Joe Theisman's leg in two
Violent tube
Watch again

MORBID
TRAINWRECK
Plainwreck, uzi, playground
There's blood upon the swings
Violence turns yur
head 'round
twist and piss and spit

Scratch and claw to
catch a glimpse of
what scares you to doeath

MORBID CURIOSITIES
MORBID CURIOSITIES
