Who are you girl
Who are you boy
Bet I know what your up to
Can I come along
Your home numbers on the wall
I just had to call
Had to
I´m not the only one who will
Run with a knife

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

Third 16th Sunday
2:16 Sunday night
Where´s your daddy now
I heard he went away
Who are you girl
Cause i´m so bored with myself
Anyway
Anytime, Anyplace
I just hang around

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

Third 16th Sunday

Who are you boy
Bet I know what your up to
Can I come along
Your home numbers on the wall
I just had to call
Had to

Run with a knife

Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

2. Avon


I see you go
Through a park in a haze
I don´t listen
For traffic goin the same way
A simple system
String ´em up
Cut´em down
Dare I say

A perfect vision
Such simple ways to let you know
Free range humans all cooped up
Naked clone is playing lame
I string ´em up
I cut ´em down
Dare I say



3. If only


If it gets you down then I take it
If it gets you up then I don´t want it
It lets you down so broken-hearted
If it gets you down well then I want it

If only it was nothing at all

I´ve blown my mind to make it lazy
Those long, long days there´s no escaping
I hold the wheel to let it go
Don´t want to stop Don´t want to know
If it gets you down don’t blame me

If only we´re nothing at all



4. Walkin on the Sidewalks


Got some action on the other side
Loose teeth in my head
New programs are comin´ in
So rise and take your oath
I wish we´d get away
Drink wine and screw
I knew someone else before
Looked alot like you

And their gone I´m gone
In space

I´ve been programed as I said before
Technology
Just rolling wheezing and Breathing
Eyeballs and Teeth
Words are weightless
Here on earth
Because they´re free
You knew someone else before
Looked alot like me

And there gone I´m gone
In space



5. You would know


Me just happy robot
Live on hill of beans
You and I are cut from the same cloth
Ripping at the seams

Cut Snip Cut

Don´t forget to remember
The devil´s got pills in his eyes
Look, laugh, but don´t touch
he´ll cut you down to size

Cut up
You would know

My girls all out of focus
It ain´t no big surprise
Daddy got his gun loaded
Got crosshairs in his eyes

Shot up
You would know
You wouldn´t know



6. How to handle a Rope


Too late to think and filter anymore
A bitter pill to swallow
Maybe you´re in a blanket haze of Ephedrine
I´m wondering where the hell ya been
So come on and right this wrong

You got it all right
You got a feelin´
I´d rather open up my wrists
Let it go
You got it all right
You gotta feelin´
Devils and ropes around your neck
Cursing them all
You can´t hear it?

Ain´t got a mind to deal with anymore
Sabateur infiltrator and maybe more
If you´re not blind and dead
Then how can we pollute your head
Come on and right this wrong

I got it all right
I gotta feelin´
You´d rather open up your wrists
Let it go
I got it all right
I got a feelin´
There´s devils and ropes around my neck
Can´t even know



7. Mexicola


Setting sun deals hands of gold
There´s velvet eyes in mexico
Just a fall away and all she said was true
Speak in tongues speak in lies
Drooling livers born to die
It´s a wonder that these guns don´t point at you

Keep on sayin´
Go on
You won´t
Live forever

Point and shoot i know just what you mean
In a world that´s full of shit and gasoline
One dog´s dead one´s on the phone
Just leave a lung or leave it alone
It´s that same old song again
I hate it cuz it´s true

Keep on sayin´
Go on
You won´t
Live foreve



8. Hispanic Impressions


- instrumental



9. You can´t quit me Babe


It´s a mistake but who knows
Followed you home crawled in your window
Life is a trip when you´re psycho in love

And I know

Spied on your friends and you were not there
Scratched and i cut i bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you´re laughing
Maybe
Scratched and i cut i do it for you
Cause I want you to notice
when I´m not around
Wherever you are

You´re solid gold
I´ll see you in hell



10. Give the Mule what he wants


The mule want it
The mule want it Sunday
He´ll eat it
He´ll eat it in one day
How long
Do I wait
Be the mule that you gotta be

Underwater
Underwater one day
Gonna sink it and make ´em think it´s too late
for your love
for your love
Be the mule that you gotta be
Around



11. I was a Teenage Hand Model


Cozied up to the toilet
Face stuck to the floor
I met expectations
That I was trying to ignore
Job had such paitence
I wonder "what´s that like?"
One hundred thousand million
But I hear
Thats what you like

So I was thinkin´

These cities are sprouting
Like a spit in the eye
And this world isn´t waiting
It´s just passing me by
I just peak in the window
Lookin´ inside
The butchers got a fork in your face
But I´m standing alive

And I was singin´
