The Dtective 02:27
For the way she was dressed, I woulda changed my will My gyroscope was runnin' up the hill The smoke hid my 'chubby', she swatted my button fly There's commies in the suburbs, you know they wouldn't lie. Thank god for indiscretion, in lonely single moms motor bikes with mufflers, the grave stone of King Kong Burma back in '43 was just this side of heaven Double trouble all wrapped up, details at 11. ----- They just wouldn't wait their turn ----- My Wall Street week subscriptions being renewed by the grave yard shift phone girl, wishing she was nude She had my special battery, she swore she never tried But the all-night teller booth was open from inside. I almost met ol' Malcom X, before he found his way The river boats were smuggling arms, donuts and decay Those things he said all rang true, a flat without a jack I picked her up, she chained me down, my deja ve went black Kim bought his wise blood at G-squared's place It always brings to mind that first time I got maced It's just across the highway where the sonic used to stand The colored kids sold lemonade and shot their rubber bands ---- They just wouldn't wait their turn... ----- Sophia was a bigamist, she like to eat French food She squandered all her winnings on a Danish guy named Zood HIs eyepatch keep slipping, exposed his freezer burn He claimed he was at Woodstock but wouldn't wait his turn He just wouldn't wait his turn...

Radio Girl 02:02
I heard her last night headphones on tight, Radio Girl she came in quite clear sure like to hear, Radio Girl and if I fall asleep while her music's playing I'm sure I'll dream about the things she's saying Her voice is the air long golden hair, Radio Girl she sounds kind of shy well, so am I, what about that? and if I ever write some other words for this I'll have to listen first to her night time radio

My baby's got stigmata, but I don't think she oughta. It's getting kind of scary, she's not the Virgin Mary. I had her carbon dated, her shroud is kind of faded. She walked in leather sandals, and lit a special candle. Baby, Baby, Baby...

Would you think me "oh so modern" if I take you home? We're not living in a vacuum, let me take you home ----- It would not be mathematical it would not be comprehensible It would not be irresponsible I...wouldn't mind It would be somewhat ethereal two people one individual Containing all inconceivable I...wouldn't mind, if you're shy Yea Yea Yea Yea ---- I'll always value a kiss from you and occupy all your treasures too Tickle and hug you when we are through You...wouldn't mind We're spellbound by an experience no longer strangers no longer tense You must admit that it all makes sense You...wouldn't mind, if I'm shy Yea Yea Yea Yea

I don't know why I'm this way certain thoughts won't go away standing on a mountain top sinking to the ocean floor You can stand it by yourself Willows bend and flowers burn food goes bad, the patient yearn barren women pray for lives dying playboys cry for wives You can stand it by yourself Throw your emblems in the dirt superstitions only hurt all you have is not enough you call those dreams, what a laugh You can stand it by yourself

OhLord 02:37
Lotsa shooting in the name of the lord Lotsa bombing in the name of the lord Lotsa screamin' in the name of the lord Barbed wire in the name of the lord Well I can't speak for HIM, but he's probably tired of that ----- Lotsa babies in the name of the lord Lotsa spankin' in the name of the lord Some repressing in the name of the lord Some confessing in the name of the lord Well I can't speak for HER, but she's probably tired of that ----- Raising buildings in the name of the lord Raising money in the name of the lord Lotsa 'things' in the name of the lord Everything that's a shame to the lord Well I can't speak for IT, but it's probably tired of that ----- Well, they're speakin' from the left of ya lord and they're speakin' from the right of ya lord and they're talking 'bout some fairy tales, lord Glorifying to some cartoons lord Well, I can't speak for YOU, but you're probably tired of that ----- I've been thinkin' about praying to ya lord I'm not sure what I'd be sayin' to ya lord Left a message on your answering phone You never answer and you're never at home Well I can't speak for THEM, but I'm awfully tired of that...
12.
The Message is Coming... I lay on my back I open my mind ----- My neurons are firing I lay on my back I roll in the waves MY PRECISE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY
13.
Most times I wish that you were really with me not just a picture on my import TV I played that tape so much it just plumb wore out I get so wound up that I just gotta shout Gotta shout! I love you! I might seem happy, but it's so au contraire the way I'm feelin' for you gives me a scare well, I could write about my love with a pen but I would much rather just kiss you again! Gotta Shout! I wonder if we'll ever walk on that beach or is that fantasy too far out of reach just call me 'love' and I'll be baptized anew and glad take upon the mysteries of you! Gotta Shout! I'm Havin', a seizure
