CANTANKERONUS PART 2

HOME IS HOME No man can catch her eyes She don't think much of guys With their macho bullshit talking trash To her it just ain't funny, man She's made her way to Beta 9 She heard New Earth's a damn good time She's seen it Yet she's coming back again Them love machines are fine for some When you're all filled up with Martian rum With their whizzing gears sometimes Why they seem just like a person But they don't talk and they don't laugh Unless the program tells them to It really ain't spontaneous But most the folk just don't care No man can catch her eye Nor r-600s with custom thighs But loves where you can get it Take that plunge and don't regret it Her eye is roving still Forever, man, it will Every day's an opportunity That's all she wants to see She leaves New Earth alone Might as well go back home At least her home is home Home is home Brendan - bass, engineering, mixing Ryan - drums

SHE FOUGHT FOR WHAT On the interstate Charlene was just a rebel Wrong as long as you're the one carrying a badge In the aftermath of that sky blue El Camino When she took one hell but it didn't hurt too bad Now a polarized consensus leaves a girl without her senses The aftermath was thus as much as but She fought for what Just to make it clear Charlene's Remote Control You could see this swerve like a heel turn telegraphed If you didn't know the scent of burnt rubella Has a healing cypher and a myth just do the math chorus in the place where the bison thunders echo lead that fuel gas her up and get go oh no So the time space loop in the multiverse of stoners Making stories up so the moon becomes the sun Here's a reprobate sexier than Cleopatra Let her fill your lungs up and smoke that son-a-gun chorus dAVE - GUITARS, VOCALS, FLUTE bRIAN - BASS, ENGINEERING, MIXING aNDY - DRUMS AND PERCUSSION

SPACESHIPS GUNS AND BOOBIES Yeah Well if it's true Then she'll force it out of her mind Congratulations Fucking up for the umpteenth time They say it's wrong Spaceships guns and boobies ain't got no home But it's a song Can't forget the future when the past ain't ever known She has an Elvis on her dashboard and a Dawn in pendant heart And a dog tag of a fella who was there to play a part When she spreads her legs and kisses everything goes down in flames Just because it's life and death don't mean that this here ain't a game Well had she known She never would have entered but then she did anyway Infatuation That's for little punk ass mealy mouth with nothing much to say But then that's us Just a bunch of followers just glad to be alive It's in the rulebook Right after the chapter that says how to shuck and jive Gimme a one shot dagger Destined to blow my mind No in between Either the top or the bottom line Singing on down the line Spaceships Guns And boobies

TIN FOIL GIRL She hates her clothes and so she walks around with nothing on She's all butt naked at the mall she gets arrested, son Spends the night in jail Only thing she wears Is just the ti foil on her head The shrink think's she's crazy so he tries to fill her head with drugs He don't believe the foil transmissions from her kitchen rug Wall to wall by the sink Don't make no sense Just another reason she's insane She tells the shrink exactly just what he does want to hear Her plans have gotten bigger and she sees her time is near Hit's a temporal note A subsonic wave And now the doctors are her slaves Tin Foil Girl she knows exactly how to make some money fast Makes the doctors clone a formula that makes the highs just last Sells it to the numb' Cause they hate their lives Just enough to start her own damn bank When she multiplies the algorythm it's now on its own Keeps on making shit be new it knows the sequence of the clone Tin Foil gets her cut Parties like it's life And then becomes the president She gives a speech up on the mall in downtown Washington Just tin foil on her head and nothing else got no clothes on Cut's her promo well Hits the bullet points The pundits duly play their parts Because she's turned us into marks And only did it for a lark We need a second Noah's Ark

EMBRYONIC TONIC Embryonic sludge suck it down tonight Down the delusion make you feel alright Just don't wanna know just don't want to see Just don't want to care just don't want to be Listen, man, I dig everything is wrong Such a stupid thought put it in a song It's a penny ante world that don't amount to shit Ain't got the guts to die so numb yourself to it Here's to you again Pain will never end Time to say "goodbye and hello nanobytes" Let them pull the load you have earned that right With everything you done and everything you know Give yourself to it you deserve it tho You won't come back again Won't feel anything Let that tonic breath let it fill your soul Let it make that real let it gain control Here's to nowhere friends Never ever ends

BIRD For fear of everything the ancient pilgrim moaned Alive forever brings whatever else was loaned There is a specialty that no one does dare speak Here in the aftermath of creaking banshee shrieks Inside your crumbled world know you're not alone Outside the insular lonely people roam Dreamers and malcontents and rebels scared to win If even everywhere there's that humming din Like a bird with everything inside Plummets shivering shores collide If it ain't true than we're forever blue If it is I must oblige I feel so bad you see 'cause I can't get what I want With the assumption that our languages just taunt Here on peripheral like lightening in the sea And forged in question marks a language I can't speak Hell, man, it's everywhere a humming tired ennui Of shit that's happenstance we're chosen randomly Directions all a joke salvation is a lie Flyin' like a bird, you see, says "say hey bye bye." Like a bird that soars across the sky Keep on flying 'til we die A new born curse A worn out universe Love and life fall from my eyes yeah

WASTING AWAY Way I'm wasting away I'm wasting away I'm wasting away I am

PEACE AND LOVE MOTHERFUCKER Peace and love, motherfucker and you know this yeah Peace and love with a ruckus and you know this Yeah yeah yeah It's got to happen because it's right In every feature in every sight Drawing a bead on for loving's sake Peace ain't a funeral love ain't a wake From where I'm singing direct to you I want it bad you want it too I want it from you give it to me 'Cause peace and love that shit is free So I walk down to the bar I saw some cover band with used guitars And a heart made out of gold that's already been sold From town Manila to Katmandu Cantankeronus I got that too Give me your loving you got that right 'Cause peace and love that shit is tight

PORTAL Time is running out bellowing through the void Desperate like a beggar methods then employed Time is running out nebula's running in Portal to the horizon portal to everything Galaxial haze ignited The ruse of the excited Oft sore and yet delighted The past was oversited Time is running out on that we can agree Dancing with the bohos under the glassened sea Painting with the artists trusting reason not the gods Fresh water color started the aforementioned lightening rod From here to another planet Through wormhole strings and granite More fun if you don't plan it Winged migrational bandits HO It's non sequitur season I know that I have treasoned I beg one for petition Spectacular omission Remote Control is restless she passes through the gate Psychedelicottically a formal mass debate Ain't no way for her to choose just where she's going to be Close your eyes and wish her luck we're where we need to be Time is running out space is running in Portal event horizon nothing is everything
