MELVINS LYRICS

1. Lexicon Devil

[The Germs cover]

I'm a Lexicon Devil with a battered brain
Looking for the future, world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands, gimme gimme your minds
Gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that

I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way cold men and politics dead...

I'll get silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this established joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on this rancid mill
I'm searchin' for something even if I'm killed...

Empty out your pockets, you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop...away...

2. Pigtro

[Instrumental]

3. In The Rain

I don't like you
Not a little thing about you
There's a flower all around you
In the rain
Images of peace
And now your pretty face
Things that give me grins
In the rain
Tropical decision
It was a mystical incision
Thought you were in prison
In the rain
As you wander with the kid
With a presage and a snip
All the way to Memphis
In the rain

4. Spread Eagle

5. Leeech

[Green River cover]

Firmly attached, always at my side
I'll let you go while I can still walk alright
I'd rip you out but you'd tear my flesh
How'd I get into such a surgical mess?
Oh, Leeech.
Coughing up blood, I'm coughing up love.
Coughing up blood, I think I've had enough.
I've had enough of you.

6. Queen

As a measure of the soul
Ever done run bring your fear
You and me, we got the same air goin'
Breathin' here
You got send to toad water, you been
Like someone left to cold half breathin'
Maybe me and the Queen could take another over
Walk it away, yeah

Oh little wish it away
I got time to wish away
Little wish it away

Head look about the free
Like a dumb mum bring a wheel
I might take the tee mind over
Load and see
I done kicked a hole wide lookin'
A gapin' half to free mind mover
Maybe me and the Queen can give a side order
Love it away well

Oh little wish it away
I got time to wish away
Little wish it away

She don't hang.

7. Way Of The World

[Flipper cover]

There are eyes that cannot see
And fingers that cannot touch

That's the way of the world

There are dreams left empty and blank
And legs that have ceased to walk

That's the way of the world

There are kisses undelivered
And Sighs and moans unuttered

That's the way of the world

There are hearts no longer beating
And there's entrails spilled on the floor

That's the way of the world

There are eyes that cannot see
And fingers that cannot touch

That's the way of the world

There are hearts no longer beating
And there's entrails spilled on the floor

That's the way of the world

8. Theme

[Clown Alley cover]

...He watches the sunrise almost every day...

9. It's Shoved

For the love maze for me to show you
Look show
Can't even handwrite
I got somethin'
You got holy doll
I'm a leather man
Guarantee
Then when we caught a big pack of bad cats
Always raising paws
Always chucking tails
Kiss that little head
Make 'em Demerol
Eat some Petromalt
So they see

10. Forgotten Principles

11. GGIIBBYY

I take my feel good lord your gonna be
You make my half done witch make chance to be
Have I a feel good lord your gonna make the past
I can't take opinion of your ways
Forget we were left my overhead
I can't make it go away

I eat fried chicken being happy dastardly
Time is every pig meat salary
Pine that car seat seemed to go with everything
As with most of my egg show it
Forget we were left my overhead
I can't make it go away

12. Theresa Screams

13. Poison

[MC5 cover]

The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But I ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That I learned in France
And they think there ain't
Nothin' to know

Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But I got free
Copped a plea
And I can see
That there ain't no freedom
Bell gonna chime
This time

Truth and love are my law and worship
Form and conscience my manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are my shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection are my attack

False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison

Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
In status classes

14. Double Troubled

15. Specimen

shine eyes the riddle
and i dont know/low
i is her fister
to walk upon
i aint like my shoulder
witha bonus
i is for reason
and i dont walk

16. All At Once

You know, I don't think this is going very well.
I mean, like 10 percent of the audience wants to fight.
The other 90 percent are totally bored.
So it's like, what the fuck am I doing up here, you know.

You know when I am sitting around at home in Hollywood, usually what I'm saying to myself is how much we suck compared to all the great bands from Jacksonville.
I'm thinking how much my life sucks compared to what it would be like if I just lived in Jacksonville.
Unfortunately, I'm exiled in California.

And you guys are in this hot bed of entertainment, called Jacksonville.
So I think without any further ado, we will continue by being completely bored ourselves.

Oh, I'm so damn lonely

...AND I HATE EVERYBODY!

[x6]
And we hate everyone of you!

[x8]
FUCK YOU!

AH!

[x4]
We hate you all and want you to die

[x4]
FUCK YOU!

[x4]
We hate you all and want you to die

[x8]
Die!

18. Dallas

19. The Bloat

I ain't nothing to the notice
800 miles of Prime
We be plain Jack belt loaded - Ha!

I pause I holler
Still powder line
Selling bulge egg tourniquet - Ha!

The more you know the brain
The more it homicide
Belt strip telephone - Ha!

Give me forty six
Give me forty five
Can't place down dance stone - Ha!

20. Fast Forward

21. Nasty Dogs And Funky Kings

[ZZ Top cover]

Well, I knocked down on your door, baby,
to see if you were at home.
Your shade was down, there wasn't even a sound
but something told me you weren't alone.
What in the world can a nasty dog do
but try to get next to you?

Don't laugh 'cause it ain't funny.
Look how it happened to me.
It could happen to you, you could be a fool too
and it'd leave you in misery.
I guess there's nothin' more a funky king can do
but to try to get next to you.

22. HDYF

23. How / Harry Lauders Walking Stick Tree

Follow the ride
This time so right
Opening so vitally
Left to die
Drown in an overbend
I let it out
Green was sympathy
In doubt
And all the rabbits have come and died.

24. Zodiac

Like the dead
We'll solve no dess
It's like a let it
Lost in so
Like a pour-ess
Like a mow low led
Moss walls
Like a sez
A poor song yeah
Lost
In paradise
And rock a Thomas
At home
Walls moan like a man
Like a tee sure one lag
Hoarse man
Like a toe this
Keeps only

Cost
In both solids
Like a warzone
Lost mole
And both san
...miracles...
Cross man goes like a toad
...only...
Lost...
Like...

...Oh yeah
I forgot to get my pill
Got to go downtown...
