God gave me this body to eat and fuck
But it's not enough
It never meant a thing
God gifted this spirit to dream and love
But it's not enough
Oh Lord what does it mean
Can I stay in the care of somebody who's gonna be saved
Oh I just want to sleep until I die
Does your basement have a sofa does your backyard have a grave
Oh I just want to sleep until I die
I just want to sleep

Golden Kid

|
Lamest kid in the subdivision
Nervous like it's my religion
In my heart I hide holy scriptures
Blessed are all the pants-pissers
I've been bummed out forever
I've been bummed out far back as I remember
It would take a saint to not hate me
I made up my favorite memory
In my dream I landed on your arm
And you sent me to hell where I belong
I've been bummed out forever
I've been bummed out far back as I remember

Creation Myth
01:08
|

|
The first thing I remember's Satan standing at the gate
He cradled me to sleep and so asleep is how I stayed
And if I wake up I will not wake up dry
I will not wake up dry
The last thing I remember is the Devil's handsome face
He put his thumb inside my mouth and now I have no "good old days"
And if I wake up I will not wake up dry
I will not wake up dry

I'm in the mood to get stoned
And stay home
Let the ghosts haunt my head
I'm in the mood to get home
And stay stoned
Feel the peace of the dead
I don't know what I'm doing
I never knew anything worth knowing
I don't know what you said
So I'm just gonna laugh
Hope you were joking
I'm in the mood to get stoned
And stay home
Let the ghosts haunt my head
I'm in the mood to get home
And stay stoned
Feel the peace of the dead
I belong to the beast now
With the head of a bull and the nose of a clown
I crawled out of the blood cloud
And now I'll never stop sitting down
Until I feel rested
And I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't hack it
Please pretend I'm not here
I've been thinking too clearly and I can't stand it

I will never give you a child
When it takes so long to die
For one ready as I
Oh, I will never give you a child
I will be useless if you try to use me
I will be worthless if you try to spend me
I will be lazy if you try to work me
I'll let you down if you believe in me
I will never give you a child
When they put me in the ground
Hope you forget I was ever around
Oh, I will never give you a child

Fly A Kite
01:49
|

I wish I was a sailboat and that you were a shooting star
We could hang out on the sofa with home movies in the VCR
And I'd like to fly a kite in the springtime
I'd like to fly a kite in the springtime, baby
I don't know if I'm dead but I believe I should be buried
My spirit's low for good and my heart's not worth being carried
And I really wouldn't mind if the sun don't rise
I really wouldn't mind if the sun don't rise no more
I have been born and killed again
I have been washed in semen
And I'd like to fly a kite in the springtime, baby

Oh Great Spirit
03:22
|
|||
|
What's the point of living
If I won't be crucified
I'll wet the bed I die in
Without ever having tried
And God is never with me
I was never at my best and never will be
I run a real loose ship
With all my useless bones
I want to be laid back and cool
But I'm just boring and stoned
And God is never with me
I was never at my best and never will be
It feels so nice to know we might be dreaming
It feels so right to know we might be dreaming
Oh Great Spirit please don't go
Oh please don't go Great Spirit
I listened to the wind to hear your voice
And could not hear it

Weep And Die
01:11
|

Weep and die
Weep and die
There's a fountain bleeding
Weep and die
Weep and die
Swollen tongues I'm speaking
We will die
We will die
Everything we hate will live forever
When we die
When we die
We won't see the face of Christ our savior
Oh when we die
