1. Dive


Us
Pick me, pick me, yeah
Let a long, long signal (Live alone, lone single)
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is hollow

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Pick me, pick me, yeah
You can even pay them

Pain (Hey)
Dive
Dive in me (Dive, Dive, Dive, Die with me)

Kiss this, kiss that, yeah
Live alone, lone single
At least, at least, yeah
You could be my hero

Pick me, pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Hit me, hit me, yeah
Iīm real good at hating (hitting)

---(The following are from some live versions.)

Take me, take me, yeah
Let along you signal
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is hollow

Take me, take me, yeah
Everyone is naked
At least, at least, yeah
You can even swallow

Lick this, kiss that, yeah
Everyone is naked
At least, at least, yeah
Everyone is sated

Take this, take that, yeah
Everyone is hollow
At least, at least, yeah
You can eat my marrow

Prick me, prick me, yeah



2. Sliver


Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joeīs
I kicked and screamed, said please donīt go (oh no)

Grandma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldnīt chew my meatīs too good

She said, well, donīt you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
Thatīs what I did, I killed my toe

After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my motherīs arms

I wanna be alone



3. Stain


Well he never bleeds and he never f***s
And he never leaves cause heīs got bad luck
Well he never reads (eats) and he never rusts (ruts)
And he never sleeps cause heīs got bad luck yea

Iīm a stain



4. Been a Son


She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns

She should have been a son

She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance (faltered)
She should have had another chance



5. Turnaround


Take a step outside yourself
And turn around
Take a look at who you are
Itīs pretty scary
So silly
It is revolting
Youīre not much
If you are anything

Take a step outside the city
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
Youīre really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock

Who said donīt look back?
Donīt believe īem
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
Cause theyīre gonna try and get behind you
Donīt you let them do it
You know what Iīm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?

Itīs pretty scary, totally, itīs so revolting
Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
Youīre no big deal
Youīre so petty
Itīs a laugh

Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at what you are
Itīs pretty scary



6. Mollyīs Lips


She said
Sheīd take me anywhere
Sheīd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me

She said
Sheīd take me anywhere
Sheīd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean

Kiss, kiss
Mollyīs lips



7. Son of a Gun


Up up up and down
Turn turn turnaround
Round round roundabout
And over again
Gun gun son of a gun
You are the only one
That makes any difference
What I say

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away



8. New Wave Polly


Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
Maybe think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

It isnīt me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Donīt hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Iīve got some rope
Havenīt told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Donīt hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
And sheīs just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct



9. Beeswax


Why doesnīt she need him for a father?
Not only made us, but I can thrive on his shit.
Goring my manhood turns a man off.
Like Pepe LePew would say,
Hey, hey, hey! -- then we clash!

I got my diddly spayed

She laughs about it.
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right.
Jacking themselves off polyester.
I wanna jump, this isnīt right!
Hey, when am I getting it back?

I donīt know why,
I got a joke too silly to say.
Donīt touch the balls.
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!

If youīre wondering, itīs gaining monthly. (If your world is getting ugly)
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy.
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate.
Freely kill him, make it wrong.
Bill has brought me deep in idyll. (idyll / anal)
Billy Slim reminds me of someone.
Iīm sick of being Mother Love Bone. (I understand your fear for the love boat)
Donīt need to kneel īcause they wanna jump rope.
And I say, loooooook!

I got my diddly spayed,
I got a little tail,

Ahhhh, I got no balls.
Donīt throw that ball.
I got a ..huh! huh!
When ya gonna learn?



10. Mexican Seafood


Oh, itchy flakes, it isnīt through me (Oh, itīs your face, it isnīt even)
Till the jawīs in flames, itīs entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, itīs only a dys-infection

Only hurts a night, until I pee (tonight / pay)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep

Oh, coming up, and diarrhea
On the tile floor, a gum of pizza
In the toilet bowl, aroma cloudy
Toss, feel it burn, become a chowdered mess

Only hurts a night, until I pee (plea)
Only hurts a night, until I sleep (sing)

Oh, take my bed, Iīve just consumed some
Flies. Bugs and fleas and even mucus
Stain the Vaseline, and tainted burgers
Stop, in case it learns, and takes a joke as such.



12. Hairspray Queen


I was your mine, you were mine, my enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,
You were, mine, I was once your en...aaahh

You rang
Your ears rang

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, weīll go...gaaahhh (god)

Wishful goddess, at night
Wish the hardest, at night
Wishful goddess, at night
Wishful gaaahhh (god)

At night, wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, disco goddess
At night, you were so modest
At night, Crisco lovefest
At night, a mouthful on me
Itīs like, fish-filled garbage
At night, weīll go...gaaahhh (god)



13. Aero Zeppelin


Whatīs the season of love if you canīt have everything?
Whatīs the reason youīre around if a crime means anything?
Whatīs the meaning in a crime? Itīs a crime if anything.
Whatīs the meaning of love? Itīs grand, itīs grand.

How can a culture can forget itīs plan of yesterday.
And you swear itīs not a trend, doesnīt matter anyway.
Thereīs no need to talk to friends, nothinī new is everyday.
You could shit upon the stairs,
Youīll be friends

All the kids will eat it up, if itīs packaged properly.
Should it subtlely irritate, keep it movinī equally.
Not to know is just the fact, weīre a problem nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesnīt matter anyway.

All the kids will eat it up, if itīs packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallinī equally
Not to know is just the facts, weīre worse nowadays.
An idea is what we lack, doesnīt matter anyway

Hey? hey? hey? hey? hey? hey?



14. Big Long Now


Itīs not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through (She is new, improved)
Can we show our faces now?
Iīm not interesting
Sheīs not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

In this clime
I am blind
Why canīt I hear?
Color blind
Speak a phrase (Speaking)
Instantly grow (Grown)
I am blind
Waiting in line / Why am I shown?



15. Aneurysm


Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh

Beat me outta me, beat it, beat it

Come on over and do the twist, uh-huh
Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huhr Overdo it and have a fit, uh-huh
Love you so much it makes me sick, uh-huh
Come on over and shoot the shit, uh-huh

She gives the perfect strain to my heart
