Bad Energy / Golden Feelings 1994

talkin' a lotta shit...got a lotta shit on my mind
got some bad feelings on me

Beercan / Mellow Gold 1994

Alcohol on my hands
I got plans
to ditch myself and get outside
dancing women
throwing plates
decapitating their laughing dates
swirling chickens caught in flight
out of focus
much too bright
coming down
shiny teeth
game show suckers trying to bleed
but I got a drug and I got the bug
and I got something better than love

How you like me now
pretty good
going on,feeling strong

I quit my job blowing leaves
telephone bills up my sleeves
choking like a one man dustbowl
freedom rock slimeball
talking in code
we went down
lit up the shack
grab me a beer out of the sack
everybody bent over twice
painting the walls throwing some dice
leaping up into the air getting juiced up beyond belief
and they were singing like this

winos throwing Frisbees at the sun
put my soul between a bun
now I'm hungry now I'm drunk
now I'm running like a flaming pig

oh yeah
scraping off the attitude
old man eating all my food
don't be kind
don't be rude
just shake your boots and let it all get loose

oh yeah 
my goodness

fluffy clouds
jumping rainbows
fluffy clouds
I'm sad
jumping rainbows
a soft and snuggly place
[repeat] 
fluffy clouds
I'm sad and unhappy

winos throwing Frisbees at the sun
put my soul between a bun
now I'm horny now I'm drunk
now I'm running like a flaming pig

oh yeah, I like it like that
oh that is cold
somebody put a flame-thrower on that
oh my goodness
take me down to the depot
buddy put me down on the bus
oh yeah
I like it like that
somebody bring me a plate of sassafrass
hey hey hey
uh-huh
what's happenin'

Blackfire Choked Our Death / Golden Feelings 1994

lightning burned the field
black fire choked our breath
(???) in the kitchen
sand poured through the walls
we looked to one another
the children shut their mouths
the whirling and the turning
of destruction filled our house
the blood-thirsty yearning
clamored all about us
darkness rose up
from the floor like a demon
fearful of the death
that buckled through our minds
shaken to the core
foresaken and unkind
well the sun came a-shinin'
and the dust did settle down
birds and jack-rabbits
lay dead on the ground
electricity
trembled in the sky
sparks shot forward
causing us to fly
...take some breakfast
but the grit was in our food
and everywhere around us
starvation broke on through
my husband stood a-starin'
at the plentiful disaster
god was in his eyes
but death was in his heart
dried up whiskey
chickens in the house
stolen car stereo
cholesterol on your mouth
stolen car stereo
snowman all in flames
deluxe cockroach
tellin me what's real
black sabbath playin'
I wake up in my socks
candle all a-burnin
her face is on tv

top



Blackhole / Mellow Gold 1994

windy, windy
looking for a better home
got me, got me
runnin' out of lightbulbs
cloudy, cloudy
open to a wastecan
yellow car, yellow car
better be inside there

wake up, wake up
nothin's gonna harm you
glass wall, glass wall
standin' on the furniture
little boy, little boy
layin' on a sleeping bag
watching, watching
through the cracks of his eyelids

stranger, stranger
feeling on a broken stone (???)
lost him, lost him
standin' on the orange chairs
alphabet, alphabet
can't afford a telephone
black hole, black hole
nothin's gonna harm you

Blue Cross / The Poop Alley Tapes


She's a blue cross (x4)
she's a burning lawn
she's dead and gone
she's here and now
she's hangin around
she's a blue cross (x4)
she's a liquor store
she's a apple core
she's a camel hair
she's a golden chair
she's a blue cross (x4)
she's a silver star
she's a stolen car
she's a milky way
she's an old ashtray
she's a blue cross (x4)

she's a blue cross (x4)

Big Stompin Mama/ Fresh Meat and Old Slabs

(now brothers and sisters,...(?) in Vietnam...
and I want you all to be singing while I'm 
pickin up these herbs here...)

Big stompin mama with a can of ?
thick gold chain wrapped around your neck
bottle of pain plate in the wedge 
??????
big stompin mama with a big check comin
discount finger with a ring all around it
stump-back dog cake eatin up blood (?)
steamboat blowin up the gale all the mud
gettin what ya need off a broke-face weasel
and the diesel burning oil in the campfire roach
she's a lover she's a money-squeezin 
never-please-her all night long

Bogusflow / DGC Rarities Vol. 1 1994

monkey see, monkey die
laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
cuz it's squalid and it's solid and it's
completely rancid and beautiful
like a forcefield of multiplying meat
cut a hole in the floor to see
just how close to hell we're standin'

time shoots forward in your skull
scattered to the four winds chucked in a bucket
riding lampost, moldy toast
excitement level: zero 
rock the casbah, bring the noise
amplified dishwashers
exploring the boring to the core
people with cordless personalities
runnin' around in new wave bionic jogging suits

california white boy sound
rocket-powered and nailed to the ground
new age, old age
totally lame
straight to the middle of the road
rewind the tape
play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned off

Bogusflow (version 2) / KCRW Radio Appearance 1994


monkey see, monkey die
laminate your face 
and paste it up into the sky
'cuz it's squalid and it's solid and it's
completely rancid and beautiful
like a dishrag laying in the street
uptight beyond belief
cut a hole in the floor to see
how close to hell we're standing

got the travelling vitamin C blues
police lady staring at my shoes
holy ghost, moldy toast
riding lampost
excitement level: zero

rock the casbah, bring the noise
pretentious dimensions exploring the boring to the core
adults with cordless personalities
running around in new wave bionic jogging suits
(spoken: ... gimme some of that noise)

California white boy sound
rocket-powered and nailed into the ground
new age, old age-- completely totally lame
straight to the middle of the road
just rewind the tape and play the whole thing backwards
with the sound completely turned all the way off

Bogus Soul / Golden Feelings 1994

fuckin' on my...
fuckin' on my floor
fuckin' off
fuckin' talkin to me
fuckin' talkin to me...ohhhh
and I won't (?)
and I tell how the people
they want my soul
they wanna touch me with my finger
oh, they feel...oooohhhhh
I wanna think 
I wanna feel
I don't got no tail
I rock n roll
my rack n roll
I've got the soul
I've got the soul
????, etc.

Bottle of Blues / Mutations 1998

i just found me a bottle of blues
some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
ain't it hard
ain't it hard,
to want somebody who doesn't want you 

and i've been waiting for a year, a day
some strange weather must be blowin' my way
cause i got no mind to go or to stay,
or be left behind 

holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere to lose
this bottle of blues 

egos drone
and pose alone
like black balloons
all banged and blown
on a backwoods river
the infidels shiver
in the stench of belief
i tell my momma i'm a hundred years late
i'm over the rails
and out of the race
and the crippled psalms
of an age that won't thaw
are ringing in my ears 

holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere to lose these
bottle of blues 

i just found me a bottle of blues
some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
ain't it hard, ain't it hard,
to want somebody who doesn't want you 

holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere to lose this
bottle of blues

Brother / Jackass single 1997


brother are you really here?
the package I received is gone
are you a phantom detective
can you read my soul backwards?
I will glide with you
if you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you

brother are you really home
holy as a blessed worm
paradise ambassador; bring me to your room
and I will throw you rocks today
"watch them pass right through" you say
"this is not a game or test
we both have done some grievin'"

brother with your vast reward
treasury who can't afford
surgeries in innocence abounds
and I have read in paper books
my eyes are glands on twisted hooks
never have I felt or looked 
so sorry for you now

brother are you trained to spy
one eye open, one eye dry?
when I die will you be my neighbor?
tell me things I'd like to know
dress it up from head to toe
let them know to and fro, 
from here and tomorrow

brother are you really here?
the message I received is gone
are you a phantom detective?
can you read my soul backwards?
I will glide with you 
if you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you

Burnt Orange Peel / One Foot In The Grave 1994

Long ago things to be
Ive got a garden hose and a color tv
I've got time on my hands
I've got time on my hands
nobody cares what i do

Long ago things to do
I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew
I've got work to get done
I've got work to get done
nobody knows where to run

I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice
I've got trees to drink
but they smell so nice
don't give me the flu
nobody knows I'm with you

back and forth I dodge a fly
like a feather in the sky
write me out a check
give me all your cash
nobody knows, so just go home

Burro / Jack-ass singles 1997


Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas
cabos sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza
Si pensabas ir al lugar donde los paganos van
pongalo junto
invitacion extraño.

Despierto, 
alguien arrastra mis huesos
Nosotros,
acendemos en la tarde
y recuerdo tu sonrisa,
donde el viento salvaje
hay algo vacio 
cuando empieza.

Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas
cabos, sueltos enlazan mi cabeza
Si pensabas ir al lugar donde los paganos van
pongalo junto
invitacion extraño.

(Evacuacion cerebral y recopilacion a texto
por Carlos "De Neptuno" o "el beckeriano".)
