Tigerbite 02:57
My teeth are too sharp for your meat baby I’m watching you while you’re asleep baby My teeth are too sharp for your meat baby I’ll refund you without a receipt baby I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire You’re naked and wearing makeup You’re wasting away all my time I think you should get me some water It looks like were gonna have a fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire There’s a tiger right outside the door and he looks pretty sore I’m lighting the drapes on fire There’s a tiger right outside the door and he looks pretty sore Do do do do wadaladala My teeth are too sharp for your meat baby I’ll refund you without a receipt baby My teeth is too sharp for your meat baby I’m watching you while you’re asleep baby I’m lighting the drapes on fire He’s lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire You’re naked and wearing makeup You got something up your behind I think you should get me a soda Cause it’s time to have a fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire I’m lighting the drapes on fire There’s a tiger right outside the door and he looks pretty sore I’m lighting the drapes on fire, There’s a tiger right outside the door and you know what it’s for? Do do do do wadaladala

I used to know a guy with short hair One day he tried to show me how to meditate He sat across from me with a blank stare But every time I stretched my neck he’d salivate I knew just what he stared at I said, “Hey buddy do you mind?” He said, “If you insist” Then he swung out his golden prayer mat And in a second he had turned into a mist He was a Buddhist, but he was a vampire That brother was a point of light and He always said that he could never hurt a fly I saw him eating mosquito He said he thought it was a Dorito but I know that’s a lie He used to sleep down in my basement And always reading the Tibetan Book of Death He knew the Chinese art of placement And there was always something foul on his breath He was a Buddhist, but he was a vampire He took my sister to the disco Them flashing lights can have a very strange effect She didn’t live to tell the tale though They found her sitting in the lotus with a hole her neck He was a Buddhist, but he was a vampire And he played the guitar In case you’re wondering where to find him He’s probably in a golden casket facing south He’s got a brightly colored wardrobe And if you’re wondering, that ain’t catsup on his mouth He’s what you’d call a bloodisattva Take it from me you’d better leave that boy alone He’ll hypnotize you with a mantra And heaven help you if you invite him into your home He is a Buddhist, but he is a vampire Sugar

You left home with the water running running In the bathroom, there’s no doubt about it You could smell the carpet burning burning Cause the television’s on fire You left Judas parked inside your driveway Reading Roman magazines There’s a pumpkin on your doorway doorway But it isn’t Halloween There’s a book with its pages open open To a picture of a healthy diet And the lock on your back door is broken And the babysitter’s a liar You left Judas parked inside your driveway In a Roman limousine Someone’s painted numbers on your walkway But you don’t know what they mean There’s a stranger with the babysitter Doing voodoo on your lawn At the children’s birthday party party Tell the kids you won’t be long

Pelted 03:05
What did you get and why did it take so long? I’ve been sitting by the kitchen window biting all my nails off So does Regina think it’s time to leave Mike alone And join in the after-dinner fun? The guests are getting very anxious And they’re very very impatient So you’d better never run away dear Because they’re very very impatient I’ve been biting all of my nails off And did you ever think of anything like biting all your nails off? And did you really think that I could please everyone? You simply aren’t helping me at all The guests are getting very anxious And they’re very very impatient So you’d better never run away dear Because they’re very very impatient Don’t you know you aren’t any help at all? Just tell me what it is you got and tell me why it had to take so long And I wonder how much longer Margarita’s gonna carry on I’m going to the bathroom The guests are getting very anxious And they’re very very impatient So you’d better never run away dear Because they’re very very impatient The guests are getting very anxious And they’re very very impatient So you’d better never run away dear Because they’re very very impatient They’re all so very very impatient They’re all so very very impatient They’re all so very very impatient They’re all so very very impatient

How do you like that dame? How do you like that dame? How do you like that dame, she’s gay… She’s gay If you take your dames gay She’s as gay as a rake If you ask for a date She’ll say “hey that’s OK” Cause a dame can be gay Just like any piece of steak And it ain’t worth the wait To make paste Paste How do you take your eggs? How do you take your eggs? Before you put them on your plate You’d better make them straight If you take your eggs straight It won’t be a mistake Cause an egg can taste great When it’s straight when it’s straight I once had an egg when I was in jail And it tasted great Play it safe I’ve always been a leg man

She looks at me with patient eyes And tells me lies, and tells me tales She’s waiting for the sun to rise With patient eyes and painted fingernails And she never fails She’s done it with a dog, oh oh We never really talk, oh oh But I know I love her so I seem to find the perfect time It’s the perfect crime, we’re the perfect pair She never seems to notice I adore her lines She never seems to care I smell her in my hair She’s done it with a dog, oh oh We’re kissing on the floor, oh oh And I know I have to go She looks at me with patient eyes And tells me lies, and tells me tales She’s waiting for the sun to rise With patient eyes and painted fingernails And she never fails She never fails She never fails

She wore 2 ankle bracelets of harpy’s teeth There were 4 molars and 6 incisors on each She drew 8 compass points where our teacups meet And took 10 steps over to where I sleep She said how do you live here at all? She said wow the sky is so small There’s a string of dead fingers around my neck In this jungle town that’s how you get respect In a tangle of grass and mosquito nets She said love in the jungle is such a mess She said how do you live here at all? I said now put your hands on the ground She said how do you go to the bathroom here? I said now I only go once a year I’ve got no more curtains or tablecloths Cause I traded them all on this trip across the moss I don’t eat anything that I can’t wipe off She said Anny that sounds like a nasty cough She said how do you live here at all? She said all you do is stare at the wall She said how She said how

I went to the doctor, he said I was fine He showed me an X-ray, but it wasn’t mine It looked like a monkey with a xylophone And hundreds of starfish all over his bones I knocked on your door but you weren’t at home My shirt’s on your floor and my girlfriend’s in Rome I met an old lady who sat very still She said I look just like her dead husband Bill I looked in the mirror but nothing was there So I took it down and put up my stuffed bear My grandfather shot him when he was fifteen And now that I’ve got him I brush all his teeth I dreamt I was swimming, got bit by a shark He tore off my feet and he ripped them apart Then I woke up screaming and holding my legs But I was just dreaming, I guess that’s okay

Rumble Lion 02:32
The lion’s den is a great old place to be Don’t park me in a parking lot I know what happens there after dark In a lion’s den I can be myself But a parking lot makes my ice cream melt They could jack you up and take your shoes And you wouldn’t laugh if that happened to you Don’t leave me on a darkly lit street I don’t want semen on my seat And the bumper cars have sixteen wheels And you’ve no idea how bad that feels And it’s so embarrassing, don’t pretend You’re a pretty girl but you’re not my friend Don’t leave your oven mitts on the stove It’s true I come from a broken home And it’s so important to pay your debts But you spend it all on cigarettes It’s amazing how long I can hold my breath With a plastic bag around my head And the scientific appeal of this Is a passing promise upon your lips And the bayonets have all gone and been And the cyanide is just kicking in

I told all the neighbors you were moving in I bought fresh coffee and your favorite jams When the telegraph came, I nearly went round the bend It said That you don’t love me anymore You shot me like a cannonball You’ve gone abroad to work with the poor And you’re not moving in I’d invested in the restraints for your bed And the wallpaper for the parlor like you said And I’d hidden all the bibles, I know you don’t like them And then I made your favorite lemon cake Yes, your favorite lemon cake In heart-shaped oven baking forms I hate the way it tastes The turtle you bought for me this Christmas past Only stares at me from behind the rounded glass I don’t know what to feed it and I’ve wished it dead And I don’t know what its name is No I can’t recall the turtle’s name You told me once when we made love But I can’t remember it
