Rico is a Liquid

Once again he put his ticker in the clutches of the careless
And of course they caught him reaching like an infant when their ruler met
his wrist
He pushed a button but it weren't hooked up to nothin'
What a glory-whoring slut and what a stubborn, stoic glutton
Stone wall, steep hill, peach tree, landfill
Always reaching for a reason when I learn that Rico is a liquid
He gets turned off at will
Has two needs and one of them is evil
Turns off at will, has two needs
We gave you the wrong address, have you arrived yet?
Oh man, I'm all impressed-- the way you survive shit
Tell us the sky is blue, tell us something untrue
If you swing by I'll leave it open

Birdseed in Hell

C'mon, Elijah- come join the fire
C'mon, Elijah- step through the flame
Your skin exposed beneath the setting sun
The heat is on your back, so run.
No mortal coil, no ever-softening line
Step through and put your faith in mine
Come, soft messiah- step to the shoreline
Come on, Elijah- stand in the sea
Come on, come on! Join hands with me!
You'll feel no sense of self, divorce your shit free will
You'll feel no need for that detainment that kills.
You're cheesecloth.
You're birdseed in hell.
You can neglect the cost, take photographs of food
But you will never see yourself.

Hey, you slowed down and got fat/took a beating
Since I know you slowed down
I don't doubt where you're headed man, Oh I know
I know I am an animal and I am not inedible
I only have a moment to endure
Day puts the night away and I am sleeping anyway
Tell 'em all hello for me now I'm not one to say it aloud
Just the necessity itself of god
Stuck reaching back again but seldom holding to the rod
Chuck's just a circus clown who's out of work for now
Suppose we all black out with both hands 'round the tap
And suck forever...

With Prostitutes
02:55
|
|
||
I've been Evel-Kinieviling over this moat in my mind around you
I've been under and over your crossed-out lines with prostitutes
I don't have to tell ya our time is our time
Cranks up the FM- I like to think you still listen
And we share my little play-house sanctimoniously
Bury the phone when the ground thaws
And pretend we never knew them
Bye-bye.

I Lost My Face
03:00

Lay down, way down
Slave to my emancipator
I want to lay down and I want to stay down
I want to go home
Crutch collector, one more dopesick day will kill me
I've shed the skin over my eyes
I'll trade the truth for one more basement with some easy lies
I'd like to go back to the ocean
But then, I can't be left alone
There is a body laying next to mine
He tells a joke I don't remember
Over and over and over

The Over-Ripened Pear
03:41

So let's just nip this in the bud
I wanna know if anyone else is seeing this
I don't see it, I don't see it
I have trouble seeing it
Tell us about drugs
Tell us everything you know about love
Aw, Peter I'm a labrador retriever
Sweet Jesus I'm a mess without my meds
Repeating like a born-again believer
A whole society built on trust that has to end
You can't feel or find my hand you have to lose that touch
Specifically like eating of the over-ripened pear
It gives too much

Base and Beneath You
03:30

Hang on, do what you came for
This can be easy, after all
The ice slides off the roof
It's boisterous, base, and it's beneath you.
So there you go.
The worst ones came up through Missouri
Bone-deaf and unresolved
Took heed to them but was reluctant
Time forgets men who wear their own skins like a hat to bed
So there you go
There you go again: "hey, we do not want to hurt you,
just because we do not want to. Doesn't mean we
aren't going to."
That whole world, that's a hole. That's a nest.

Help Me Out

Hooray for me, the picture
In the magazine said.
Light-skinned, tight clothes
I guess I like to stay exposed but
What good is all that stuff when we can't make the grade?
What good is all that stuff today?
And what good is all that stuff when we can't
Break new ground?
What good is all that shit right now?
It's a pleasure to meet you
It's a fine time for me to
Introduce you to the new me
He's all gut-stuffed but loosely
I took my medicine and I thought my thoughts about
How all my medicine was supposed to help me out.
