well, I woke up this mornin'
and all my hair was gone
looked about all over
in the closet and on the lawn
and I couldn't find nuthin'
not even to save my life
now I'll die alone right here
and i won't ever have a wife
chorus:
ain't gonna fuck no vagina no mo
ain't gonna fuck no vagina no mo
I'll be celibate for all my remainin' days
ain't gonna fuck no vagina no mo
ain't gonna fuck no vagina no mo
ain't' gonna get no pussy no how no time no way
I don't see no reason
to go out tonight
don't seem to me the season
to fuss or to fight
and to go and look for pussy
just seems like such a task
it'll be another ice age 'fore I get a piece of ass
chorus
well, my teeth are rot and broken
and my skin is creasing up
my ears and eyes are fadin'
and my pick-up lines all suck
I'm a used up busted old-timer
whose fallen on hard times
I'd probably take about ten viagra
just for me to get it up!
chorus

Yer Emo Days Are Over
Where will you be
when your emo days are over and
your tattoos are all fading out
and she really won't call you back this time and
what will you be
when your emo days are dead and gone
and everyone else has carried on
and left you far behind and lonely?
where will you go
when your emo days have bitten dust
and your romantic ideals crushed
and you're all alone with your cigarette habit?
who will you blame
when your emo days are long long gone
just a middle-aged man mowing your lawn
and the rock 'n' roll all now seems too loud DAGNABIT!
your time is up
time is up for you
how will it feel
when your emo days have said goodbye
and it feels like acting when you cry
and you can't get drunk 'cause your body can't take it?
you'll be real quiet
when your emo days are in your past
even though you swore they'd always last
now you can't keep it real or even fake it
you tried so hard
to keep your emo lifestyle together but
the years caught up like "what the fuck?"
and the bills piled up all the way to the ceiling
oh, well you sigh
all those emo days weren't so damn nice
now a mature, adult lifestyle will suffice
buy you'll always kind of miss that feeling
that emo feeling
time is up for you

Droppin' the Hammer
all's fair in love and war
tell me what we're fighting for X2
she's dropping the hammer on me
i'm just broken machinery
she says don't worry about me
i'm just broken machinery
fucking up
exquisitely...
all's fair in love and war
tell me what we're fighting for
she's dropping the hammer on me
thought i had to stop our destiny
she's dropping the hammer on me
on me
on me
on meeeee...

The Burden of Proof
so many faces comin' out
you can't keep track
so many voices talking at you
behind your back
so many things to do
I think that it's called fun
another social scene
you're floating in your head
you know you just showed up
to show them that you're not dead
the burden of proof rests on your shoulders
and weighs you down
can't wait to find an excuse
to head back out of town

Sand
fiberoptic fingers writing this this morning
I'll use the four-track in absence of a band
it's just a change of season
creeping up my bedsheets
a shipwrecked soul is destined to be sand
all the looming graveyards
of my youth make no complaints
this is jumbled seedling madness from the scratch-pad
is that what you would call "agony in the garden"?
pardon me, but it's really not that bad
fiberoptic fingers writing this this morning
I'll use the four-track in absence of a band
it's just a change of season
creeping up my bedsheets
a shipwrecked soul is destined to be sand

Tree Falling
does a tree make a sound
when it falls down
and no one is around?
does the clock on the wall
really matter at all
when the mechanism stalls?
does a tree make a sound
when it falls down
and no one is around?
does the song have an end
when it won't be played for friends
who haven't any ears to lend?
and will i make a sound
when i fall down
and you are nowhere to be found?

Vampire Blues
I feel like a fucking vampire now
my thirst for human life is never-ending
I hope only someday to somehow find
some fresh miraculous victim
who will rise up and ignore their bloodied neck
and pitch themselves forward
to bloody mine
my love is lost
I vomited it all up
I was so drunk off it
so delicious a high
so lightened my heavy heart
my brain finally cut loose of skull
and floating the hours hung easy
in amniotic fluid
but soon all the rooms we shared begin to spin
and I had to leave you behind
my hand clutching my soul as I went running for the bathroom
oh yeah
I feel like a fucking vampire now
my thirst for human life is a never-ending one
I hope only someday to somehow find
some fresh miraculous victim
who will rise up and ignore their bloodied neck
and pitch themselves deftly forward
to bloody mine

No Love At All
let's say goodbye
'fore it's too late
let's say goodbye
won't it be great
to let it down
to let it fall
'cause in this love
is no love at all
no love at all
let's say goodbye
'fore it's too late
let's say goodbye
no it can't wait
just let it down
just let it fall
'cause in this love
is no love at all

Just Hangin' Out
people starin' but no one's carin'
'bout what you've done and where you've been
and all around this one horse town is quiet
they pressed the mute on the town crier
the discotheque lost in a fire
the one horse in this town's about to riot
do do do etc.
"no one knows what he can do
until he tries a dream or two
and channels his potential in a more rewarding way"
life goes up and life goes down
and life is death in this small town
but life just a funny thing, at least that's what the old folks say
do do do etc.
there's always nothing left to do
the blocks are square and so are you
you feel like you're in the final chapter
you hang out here and you hang out there
with your sadness and your savoir faire
at least your not just hangin' from the rafters
at least you're not just hangin' out
at least you're not just hangin'
out.

To Remind Me I'm Not Dead
one more song
then I'm just going to going to go to bed
one first song
one more collection of words
to remind me I'm not dead
to remind me I'm not dead
or a figment inside someone else's head
to remind me I'm not dead
