Invisible Girlfriend

I pour sun from my fingertips when
I'm with my invisible girlfriend
I do more, so much more than this
you can ask her, she'll say yeah!
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Oh yeah
(((Baby, I know sometimes I act real bad
But Sugar, I can give you the best love you ever had)))
I grow flowers from my fingertips when
I'm with my invisible girlfriend
I drink scotch in my Orange Julius
she don't like it but I'm the boss
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Oh yeah
(She's real--I feel her!)
I spit fire but you extinguish it
cuz you're the best, invisible girlfriend
You satisfy more than cigarettes
like your imaginary kisses do
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Invisible Girlfriend
Oh yeah

Fly Paper
02:45
|
|||
A graveyard on a sunny day
is like the way you smile when you're thinking
I'm thinking I should probably run away
'cause you're about to do something crazy
It scares me when you look at me
I wish that you were make believe
It scares me when you look at me (like that)
I wish I saw what you can see
Silver mirror in the dark
where my eyes give off a ghostly spark
I'm thinking it's a piece of yesterday
that got stuck like flies on fly paper

Love and Violence

Love and violence
I'd kill anyone for you
anything that moves
boom boom boom
Love and violence
you and me under the moon
Cadillac to Cancun
baby, you're so cool
Baby's got a gun
and Seventies shades
She's seen every kung fu movie ever made
we'll make a list of everyone we hate and
we'll blow out their brains
Love and violence
all this mayhem turns me on
this could be the theme song
for a guy and a girl with a gun
Love and violence
we can go where we wanna go
we can do what we wanna do
but we gotta shoot our way through
Baby's got a gun
and Seventies shades
she's seen every Tarantino movie ever made
we'll make a list of everyone we hate and
we'll blow out their brains
[excerpt from "Love & Violence: The Movie"]
Love and violence
we'll cross the border soon
bury bodies under the moon
baby, you're so cool
Baby's got a gun
and she don't hesitate
she'll pin you to the wall and
empty out her .38
True Romance is a BOOM!
and a smoking gun
'cause we are in love
Love and violence
Love and violence
Baby, you're so cool
Boom boom boom
You're so cool
Boom boom boom
You're so cool

Is it only in my head?
Is it only in my head?...
The moon is just a fingernail
every cloud's a Death's Head
see how the Zero bleeds from the edge
Take a walk outside
in the blazing midnight sun
all the Dead are in machines and
your deeds are all undone
It's the voice of the angels
in a Xerox machine
it's the Devil's fingerprints
in a swirl of gasoline
Is it only in my head?
See how the Zero bleeds from the edge
Is it only in my head?
See how the Zero
bleeds from the edge
All we ever wanted was everything
all we ever got was cold
get up, eat jelly
sandwich bars and barbed wire
squash every week into a day
O, to be the cream!
O, to be the cream!
O, to be the cream!
O, to be the cream!
Is it only in my head?
Is it only in my head?
Is it only in my head?
Is it only in my head?

Fallin' Anvils
02:50

Falling anvils
I have known
sudden romances
that break your every bone
The love of a woman
can shatter your spine
grind you to dust on the ground
when you thought it was just a good time
It comes out of nowhere
when you think it's all fine
much like the windshield
to the wayward dragonfly
I have done nothing
of which I'm ashamed
but I know there's an anvil somewhere
overhead
bearing my name
(André!)
It comes out of nowhere
when you think it's all fine
much like the windshield
to the wayward dragonfly
I have done nothing
of which I'm ashamed
but I know there's an anvil somewhere
overhead
bearing my name
Fallin' anvils
up above
Fallin' anvils
Anvils of love

Long Drive
03:49
|
|||
A simple meal
a shining star
a sunbeam for your avatar
quiet songs on
a rainy night
a sheet of paper, cool and white
You must remember
I know I told you
your shadows dance when
light pours through
and there's a place
behind the rain
where shadows go when
sunlight comes again
Long drive
Long drive
(((Drive me down to Babylon
got some people there who owe me coin)))
I have boots and
I'll be goddamned
a passage through this savage land
so hold your hand
out in the dark
and catch the lightning when it's still a spark
Long drive
Long drive
A simple meal
of city lights
your breath inside me like stars at night
An empty page
a shining light
a window carved from pure sunlight
So since it's now
and we're alive
curl up with me and take a long drive

Je t'en veux
03:28
|
|||
C'est une chose qu'il ne faut pas oublier
dans la rue ou dans l'atelier
Presque tout ce que l'on désire,
ce serait fou de le laisser s'enfuir
Je t'en veux ma poupée ensoliellée
je t'en veux, ma vie, mes yeux
jusqu'au bout de la nuit
la tristesse s'enfuit
C'est la nuit dont il faudra se souvenir
tous les jours ça a gout de l'avenir
dans mon åme il y a des animaux
j'en sais rien si cette chanson est trop
Je t'en veux ma poupée ensoliellée
je t'en veux, ma vie, mes yeux
jusqu'au bout de la nuit
la tristesse s'enfuit

No one at the party knew what a genius you were
and I myself was only just discovering the extent
then you tried to stick your entire tongue inside that
poor girl's ear
and we got kicked out but
that was usually how things went
We passed out on the Boulevard St. Michel
and all I remember of that
is nothing
Girl from Boston with the long brown hair
how we wanted her so
you said she looks like butter melting on a waffle
then I had her, you had her friend, and I apologize
(((Je me souviens bien comme elle avait chaude au cul)))
We did the walk of shame in the wrong direction
but somehow that just made it cooler.
Yeah.
Singing George Michael's 'Faith' with a deficit of irony:
"I know not everybody's got
a body like you"

45th Street Rain
02:58
|
|||
I went out without a coat cuz I had you on my mind
now I'm cold and lonesome, baby
it happens all the time
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her head and cries
when it happens to a man he jumps on a train and rides
(He don't even know just where it goes
somewhere down the line, that's all he knows)
Now here I stand, my head hung low
muttering your name
I ain't going anywhere under the 45th Street rain
I have screwed up big and hard and
I've sabotaged my name
my reputation's inside-out and
my social skills are lame--so lame!
(I'm gonna make you see me
and how much better we'll be
when you accompany me)
Now here I stand, my head hung low
muttering your name
I ain't going anywhere under the 45th Street rain

Automatic Cloudy Day
02:41
|
|||
She promised sunshine
then she went away
now when the sun shines
it's an automatic cloudy day
She's non-existent
she's inside-out
but she's as real as the fear that grips you
when the lights go out
She tastes like ginger
she smells like rain
she takes the world apart in pieces and
she puts them back again
She's pure destruction
she's kingdom come
she shoots the wheels off
to watch the crash and
says wasn't that fun? Wasn't that fun?
She's my obsession
she's every dream
she's the alpha and omega and
all the mysteries in between
She's non-existent
she's inside-out
but she's as real as the fear that grips you
when the lights go out
