Superhuman 04:10
lyrics
buy track
She's not like other girls She's from another world She's into the universe And what's in-between She sees things that are far away She has a different way of looking at things She gives me shelter from the arrows and slings She says "What a beautiful day!" Even When it's raining When she holds my hand I forget I'm just a man Who's disposable and weak Who doesn't know what to do Can't find the fords to speak Oh, she thinks I'm Superhuman Oh, Superhuman She doesn't know I'm an ordinary loser And she's the one who is saving me She's not like other girls She's from another world She mixes fantasy with reality Seamlessly I know what day it is And I know what's happening I know she's the one who's gonna fly away When she looks in my eyes I forget all the lies I tell myself to get by To pretend I'm not afraid But she don't realize Oh, Superhuman She doesn't know I'm an ordinary loser And she's the one who is saving me And when she's with me I'm the only thing she sees And there's no place to hide That all my wildest dreams Are right here by my side Oh, she thinks I'm Superhuman Oh, Superhuman She doesn't know I'm an ordinary loser And she's the one who is saving me Oh, she thinks I'm Superhuman Oh, Superhuman She doesn't know I'm an ordinary loser And she's the one who is saving me

Full Scale Alien Invasion 04:02
lyrics
buy track
We can’t keep our hands off each other We can’t keep our hands to ourselves Something in our hearts is bent on keeping us apart Something isn’t right the way we tear each other down We can’t live together ‘til we learn how to die We can’t make the leap until we learn how to fly Don’t send a message Don’t send a plan Don’t send a monkey Don’t send a man What we need is a full-scale alien invasion to turn this thing around What we need is a full-scale alien invasion coming down A little tension could get our attention An intervention from a parallel dimension Maybe we’d survive as one under someone else’s sun Were the truth to be revealed, would you feel the way I feel We can’t dance together ‘til we learn to walk the walk We can’t climb the mountain ‘til we crawl out of the dark Don’t send the doctor Don’t send the clowns Don’t send me flowers Don’t bring me down What we need is a full-scale alien invasion to turn this thing around What we need is a full-scale alien invasion coming down Where do we go from here to find the words to sing The question to the answer where the search for love begins Don’t send the navy Don’t send the cops Don’t send an angel Take it from the top What we need is a full-scale alien invasion to turn this thing around What we need is a full-scale alien invasion coming down What we need is a full-scale alien invasion to turn this thing around What we need is a full-scale alien invasion coming down What we need

Inappropriate 03:34
lyrics

I’m optimistic when you say that there’s no hope in it – inappropriate You tell me not to touch, I can’t help myself I keep groping it - inappropriate You tell me shut your mouth, all I wanna do is to open it – inappropriate You say it is what it is, but I’m not gonna go for it - inappropriate I guess my attitude is different from you and your associates – inappropriate Don’t wanna waste my time and have nothing to show for it – inappropriate Heaven forbid I could be you and you could be me And we could see what the other one sees Maybe then we’d let each other live in peace Or something close to it – inappropriate I get my whiskey surreptitiously I put me some coke in it – inappropriate My imagination’s off to racing when you think I was smoking it – inappropriate You tell me not to persist but I keep on provoking it – inappropriate You say to perish the thought, but I’ve already spoken it – inappropriate You say I’m making a mess I call it making the most of it - inappropriate You say I’ve got to take care but I’ve already broken it – Inappropriate How could it be if we know that LOVE is the reason to live The answer to ‘what are we doing here?’ Nevertheless we’re obsessed with destruction, hate and fear And make an unholy ghost of it - inappropriate I only get this shot I’m taking and I won’t karaoke it – inappropriate Cognitive dissonant existence when illusion is blown to bits - inappropriate You said I took it too far, but I’m only approaching it – inappropriate Heaven forbid I could be me and you could be you And we could do what we want to There’s no need to believe when you know that something’s true Can you learn how to cope with it – Inappropriate Inappropriate – inappropriate - inappropriate Inappropriate - inapprop-a-pope-a-pop-pop-pow

Porno Stack 03:12
lyrics

Some people find love in the eyes of the girl next door Didn’t work that way for me Others find it beneath the silver lights of the junior high dance hall But it wasn’t meant to be I’ve looked around long enough to know When you’ve got something good you should never let it go But there’s a couple of things I’m still figuring out I guess I could’ve been a more sensitive guy with sensitive eyes But all the while I’m just looking at your beautiful thighs I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack they dumped in the woods Taught me everything that I know I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack That’s why I really need you baby and I don’t want to let you go Some people find love in Hollywood on the set of the film of the year Haven’t gotten that lucky yet, no Others find it in church or on the checkout line at the grocery store yeah, yeah How lucky can you get? I’ve been around long enough to know When the cage comes down there’s nowhere to go And nowhere to hide in this world of pain I’m sorry that I told my friends that I saw your boobies Cos you mean more to me, girl, than a roomful of rubies I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack they dumped in the woods Taught me everything that I know, whoa, whoa-oh I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack That’s why I really need you baby like December needs the snow Don’t you cry, girl, you can leave your tears behind Open up, come on in and free your mind Take off the chains you’re wearing, oh, let them fall away But if you want to keep your high heels on, I guess that’ll be okay I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack they dumped in the woods Taught me everything that I know, whoa, whoa-oh I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack That’s why I really need you baby and I don’t want to let you go I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack they dumped in the woods Taught me everything that I know, whoa, whoa-oh I learned about love from somebody’s leftover porno stack That’s why I really need you baby but that’s not the way it goes

You know everything, everything falls apart It all, It all falls apart Bones, skin and bones Dust and bones, calcium and rust Time, take your time Spend it any way you like, waste it if you must Eyes, close your eyes Tell me what you see, hold on to the memories Crumbling, tumbling down Crashing to the ground without a sound You know everything, everything falls apart It all, It all falls apart Love, love me now Love me while you can Thank you for being my sweetest friend Love, love me now Love me while you can Thank you for being my sweetest friend Love, love me now Love me while you can Thank you for being my sweetest friend Love, love me now Love me while you can Thank you for being my sweetest friend

Alone In The Wilderness 04:31
lyrics

I’d rather live in a cave than live as a slave I’d rather wander for days in a maze I’d rather live like a beast than be fleeced and policed live my life in a brainwashed haze I’d rather swing from the trees than be searched and seized I’d rather rule in the wild than be fooled like a child And I’m not afraid, not afraid to say I will not obey, I will not obey I found my peace of mind in difference to the grain I’ll watch the rainbow, let the world go insane All alone in the wilderness (out here it’s all so clear) All alone in the wilderness (no cares and nothing to fear) If I fall to my death I won’t have wasted a breath Better to weather the wind and the rain If I get cannibalized I won’t be propagandized By the media war machine And I won’t heed the hype of the devious type Who delights in telling other people how to live their life This is my day, these are all my days I won’t give them away, I won’t give them away I found my happiness in difference to the grain I’ve got the rainbow, let the world go insane All alone in the wilderness (out here it’s all so clear) All alone in the wilderness (no cares and nothing to fear) And I did it myself without anyone else And I won’t trade it in for a place on a shelf I’d rather dance with the plants and get covered in ants Than waste a minute of life on a ghost of a chance I found serenity in difference to the grain I’ll ride the rainbow, let the world go insane All alone in the wilderness (out here it’s all so clear) All alone in the wilderness (no cares and nothing to fear) All alone All alone All alone in the wilderness, in the wilderness, in the wilderness, in the wilderness In the wilderness, in the wilderness, in the wilderness Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Whoo, hoo, hooo

Always Do The Best You Can 03:48

Always do the best you can Always do the best you can Set your mind to it and do it the best that you can When you wake up naked and far from home How do you find your way back without being arrested? Stick to the tree line Don’t make a beeline Cover your behind Don’t get molested Always do the best you can Always do the best you can Set your mind to it and do it the best that you can When you crash a party and get called out How do you party on without being ejected? Act like they know ya Don’t let them throw ya Just play the joker Never stand corrected Always do the best you can Always do the best you can Set your mind to it and do it the best that you can Oh, you’re gonna fall down and you’re gonna get hurt Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid You’re gonna screw up, but if you keep it locked down You’ll be okay, you’ll be okay When absurdity gets the best of you but it’s a must you don’t laugh out How do you keep yourself from erupting? Ohh, bit on your knuckle Fight back the chuckle Think of something dreadful Don’t be an asshole Always do the best you can Always do the best you can Set your mind to it and do it the best that you can Always do the best you can Always do the best you can Set your mind to it and do it the best that you can

Thought Distortion 03:38
lyrics

I tried to make it nice I tried to make it beautiful I wanted it to be magical and sweet But the flowers turned to stone The sunshine disappeared and left me Cold and all alone again I pictured in my mind That everything was perfectly fine I swallowed hard and grinned until I smiled But the grass beneath me died An emptiness took shape inside And made the world turn wicked dark and wild This is the way it sometimes goes Something changes and starts to take hold Try to wish it away but it only grows and grows And they say it’s only thought distortion I can’t slow down this thought distortion The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion Thought distortion The invitation came Addressed to me by name to attend Excitement running through my brain A new lease on life Everything was good and bright No more misery and pain I felt so clean and blessed I even wore my Sunday best My heart’s desire realized But things got re-arranged Everyone turned perfectly strange Hidden innuendo in their eyes They tell me that this isn’t real But they don’t know how it feels It picks up speed like a burning, burning wheel And they say it’s only thought distortion I can’t slow down this thought distortion The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion Thought distortion And they say it’s only thought distortion I can’t slow down this thought distortion The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion Thought distortion

We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore When I opened my eyes Things looked different than before We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore These walking shoes Just walked on out the door I'm calling, I'm calling But you won't hear I'm calling, I'm calling But you don't care We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore And it cuts like a mirror In pieces on the floor We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore We're not friends anymore

Girl Fight 02:43
lyrics

It was a regular day after high school Kids were waiting for the bus Out of the corner of my innocent eye I saw such a commotion, such a terrible fuss Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unlookawayable sight Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unbeautiful sight I looked and saw two girls rolling out in the road Each with a handful of hair and bleeding out of the nose Neither one holding back, they were going for broke With a terrible shriek and the tearing of clothes Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unlookawayable sight Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unbeautiful sight It was 1989 at the time so they both had a lot of hair And there was lots of saliva and lots of fur flying throught the air The lesson I learned that day is a girl Can be a bloodthirsty tiger so stay out of her way It was somebody's sister and somebody's daughter And I'll never know why she fought her Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unlookawayable sight Girl fight - I'd never seen such an unbeautiful sight

I Stopped Believing 04:39
lyrics

I stopped believing in the evening news I put myself in the other guy’s shoes Made up my mind to listen to my heart And no one else is gonna tell me what to do I stopped believing in the chain of fools I stopped believing in the ones that make the rules And I’ll keep on not believing no matter what they say I stopped believing today I stopped believing in all the spin In superstition and the ignorance it brings I stopped believing that every living thing Is not the most precious thing of all And I know it’s true You will stop believing too When you find your way to thinking something new Will you believe in me like I believe in you? Now look at me and you’ll see a man Trying to reason, trying to understand And I can’t go on believing that walking hand in hand We can’t cross the line in the sand I stopped believing in being told Whipped around again and being sold I stopped believing in ever growing old Leaving any stone unturned And I know we’ll see how easy it can be When you know for sure which way the old wind blows Where the river flows, how the story goes, yeah Aww, c’mon I stopped believing in giving in Rolling over, surrendering I stopped believing in the ones who bought in To all the things I stopped believing in I stopped believing in the evening, whoa-oh Oh, in the middle of the night, whoa –oh In the shadow of the day, yeahyeahyeahyeah By the dawn’s early light, yeah
