Soon Forget

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around.
The sun is going down.
The moon is out
but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down.
He's pissing.
He's living a day he'll soon forget.

Counts his money every morning.
The only thing that keeps him horny.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barely living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around
and there is not a sound.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins.
Never put the money down.
He's stiffening.
We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.

Come As You Are

Come as you are,
as you were,
as I want you to be.
As a friend,
as a friend,
as an old enemy.
Take your time,
hurry up,
the choice is yours,
don't be late.
Take a rest,
as a friend,
As an old memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

Come doused in mud,
soaked in bleach,
as I want you to be.
As a trend,
as a friend,
as an old memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun

--Instrumental--

Memory ...
Memory ...
Memory ...
Memory ...

When I swear that I don't have a gun.
No, I don't have a gun..
No, I don't have a gun..
No, I don't have a gun..
No, I don't have a gun..
(Memory ...Memory ....)

Everything Zen

There must be something we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Dave's on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We're so bored
You're to blame

Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don't think so

Raindogs howl for the century
A million dollars a stake
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence

Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don't think so

I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is, Elvis is

There's no sex in your violence

Last Kiss

Where, oh where, can my baby be?
the lord took her away from Me.
shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good.
so I can see my baby when i Leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddys car.
we hadnt driven very far. there in
The road, straight ahead.
a car was stalled,
the engine was dead.

I couldnt stop, so I swerved to the right.
Ill never forget the sound that Night.
the screamin tires, the bustin glass.
the painful scream that I heard
Last.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me.
shes gone To heaven, so Ive got to be good.
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up the rain was pourin down.
there were people standin all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes.
but somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said.
hold me darling, just a little While.
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that i Knew I had missed.

Well now shes gone.
even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life,
That night.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me. shes gone
To heaven, so Ive got to be good.
so I can see my baby when I leave this World.

Even Flow

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...ah yeah...fuck it up...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...
