Another banquet
Another cigarette
Another spliff
Or maybe six
I'm fucking wasted
Sitting in my chair
Down in the basement
Tools everywhere
Delusional
Inside the skull
By now you know
Delusional
Already forgiven
No matter which religion
Trying to make decisions
With a broader vision
Always remember we're not the same
The rusty pipes
Drip through the night
Caught by a bucket
Under the light

Your soft hair
Is blowing all around from the window
The dogs ate our directions while we ate
We drove back to the motel off the freeway
I asked them if they could print us new ones
Because we are moving back to our home state
88 ranger please take us home
All of our belongings stuffed inside the bed
Kept safe from the wind and rain by a purple cap overhead
We stopped off in west Virginia
To spend some time with your older sister
88 ranger please take us home
88 ranger, 5 speed, maroon interior

misunderstood

Once a man told me to watch the ground
All that has come, has had to pass
Misunderstood, has been the ongoing theme
Misunderstood, you never know what I mean
Holy fortress
No longer portraits
Read my fortune
On screened in porches
Suburban symbols
Singing hymnals
The congregation
Of satan's nation
Burning candles
In hippie sandals
Dirty carpets
At the flea market
Discover treasures
That we remember
And make them ours
Misunderstood, has been the ongoing theme
Misunderstood, no one knows what I mean
Means spirited witches
Are always unforgiving

The pony on the floor
Always say you adore me
Clean the gutters all day
Spruce up the garden in spring
Forget the days of the week
Don't know when it's my turn to speak
Places cannot be lonely
Only people can
That's what you told me
No one can stop ya
When you speak proper
Use your tongue when at war
Use your words to get more
Use your thoughts to be born
Now they you've been warned
Places cannot be lonely
Only people can
That's what you told me
They say they're perfecting
With all of the gene splicing
And when the locusts come
And block out the son
The days are numbered
Awake from your slumber
Use your tongue when at war
Use your words to get more
Use your thoughts to be born
Noe they you've been warned
Places cannot be lonely
Only people can
That's what you told me
They say they're perfecting
With all the gene splicing
And when the locusts come
And block out the sun
Don't ever say you weren't warned.

I saw your sickness
I watched you fade
But I was so young
Thought I was to blame
And lighting incense
You kneeled and prayed
For all of the Angel's
To set you free
And I figured it out my friends
Yeah I figured it out
When they came to take you
The room was so cold
And on your way out
I saw your soul
And I figured it out my friends
Yeah I figured it out
