2. Waking Up Insane

scaring the Ghosts away wake me when i'm sane
on Mardi Gras day the cold of death
it may tear you from my breast
yet I know you are the smoke that is my breath
under the sky to live is to die
raven black the night and I
opel on the highway side
as we pass her a million times this night
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
scaring the Ghosts away wake me when I'm sane
again you are the smoke that is my breath
this bouquet of regret
under the sky to live is to die
radiation black the night and I
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
under the sky to live is to die
radiation black the night and I
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could ever eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
waking up insane on Mardi Gras day
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
just wake me when I'm sane

3. Strange Television

you know the strange television you watch
the one that you never plug in
lady with the locust heart her fire lion
sleeping in a black hole you know you know you know
watch the one that you never plug in
I got this sharp piece of science and I can't see the soft underbelly of the
sky above me
I got this sharp piece of science and I can't see the soft underbelly of the
sky above me
this sharp piece of science this sharp piece of science
fire engine red running down the back of my neck yeah
could we be invisible today laughing this is what you'd say I guess

I got this sharp piece of science and I can't see the soft underbelly of the
sky above me
I got this sharp piece of science and I can't see the soft underbelly of the
sky above me yeah
small Gods in your peripheral vision a beast called truth has risen
small Gods in your peripheral vision mad love walks with them all
a beast called truth has risen and we're walking away with a shadow
falling like stars from the eyes of the night walking away with a shadow
falling like stars from the eyes of the night a beast called truth has risen
mad love walks with him small Gods in your peripheral vision
walking away with a shadow falling like stars from the eyes of the night
the eyes of the night the eyes of the night the eyes of the night the eyes
of the night

4. Heart Of Green

I have seen that shadow in the meadow
and I have seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green
along your velvet belly is the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that I lost your heart of green
the dragon sleeps with the owl and the centipede
and they dream of you and me
along your velvet belly lies the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
ooh bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that we touched your heart of green
opening like wings over the horizon
I hear that strange melody that only you can speak to me
You got that heart of green
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I've seen that shadow stretched across the meadow
and I've seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart
of green moving slowly through your heart of green
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart
of green moving slowly through your heart of green

5. Song With No Name

floating on a casket down the Mississippi
throwing shadows cross the moountains of the moon
there I heard the daughters of december
singing a wicked tune into the graveyard
mouths of children blue in the arms of mother violence
into the graveyard mouths
swinging from a star
down the passage we never take
past that door we never open
lost in the locust storm
singing a wicked tune
into the graveyard mouths of children blue in the arms of mother violence
into the graveyard mouths
swinging from that star
that star

6. Otherworldly Dreamer

dancing with a black dog
on papa satan's grand piano
all night long we danced the nuclear bomb
all the live long night
dreaming of the setting sun
praying for a plague of frogs dancing with that black dog
dreaming of the setting sun
angels mouth is where I sleep
against the bone of her spine i weep
the shade from 'neath that yonder window creep
all the live long night
a roman lion at the door
a pretty skull an angry whore
a roman lion at the door
and how the mouths they cry for more more more more more
all the live long night
dreaming of the setting sun
against my heart I hear it softly speak
this seven headed otherworldly dream
otherworldly dreamer
papa satan's grand piano papa satan's grand piano
dreaming of the sad inside
otherworldly dreamer
papa satan's grand piano papa satan's grand piano
otherworldly dreamer

7. Graves Beyond Windows

down down the gray wall
to gaze upon the graves beyond the windows
mesmerizing, mesmerizing
that wound that star got to get up had to see where you are
that wound that star she keep her madness in that jar
that wound that star got to get up had to see where you are
that wound that star she keep her madness in that jar
a burning girl on the hood of a car
mysterious blood on my guitar
mesmerizing, mesmerizing
that wound that star got to get up had to see where you are
that wound that star she keep her madness in that jar
that wound that star got to get up had to see where you are
that wound that star she keep her madness in that jar
mesmerizing like a wound or a star
mesmerizing like a wound or a star
yes it was
yes it was
like a wound or a star
yes you are
yes you are
ooh yes you are
like a wound or a star
mesmerizing like a wound or a star

8. Deadboy And The Elephantmen Theme Song

Yesterday is a corpse that you know
don't ya?
tomorrow knows this to be so
revelation at the peep show
sweatin vision like a mojo
a little rock n roll in stereo
everybody sang
deadboy and the elephantmen
deadboy and the elephantmen
I dreamed I kissed a screamin banshee
snow white and divine
among terrible strangers myself and a bottle of wine
these *walls(wolves)* know secret names
for the fire and the rain
falling slowly like the first time
everybody sang
deadboy and the elephantmen
deadboy and the elephantmen
awake and dance
awake the phantoms and invite them to dance
awake the phantoms and invite them to dance

9. Like The Dead Would Laugh

we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh tonight
laughing like red death unmasked at midnight
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh
though your soul has gone so far away from mine
your mouth opens slowly blowing smoke like time
laughing like the dead would laugh tonight
laughing like red death blood splashed by starlight
look up there's a monster in the moon tonight
you were born into a movie without sound but its alright
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh tonight
laughing like red death unmasked at midnight
we laugh like the dead would laugh tonight
we laugh like the dead would laugh tonight
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh
we laugh like the dead would laugh
like the dead would laugh
