1. TRIP AWAY

Mama, lick on me now
No care
Put me on the bad side
Oh, so bad
I wanna make you love
Wanna, wanna watch your eyes
Dip them in a honey glaze
Mirror mine
Roll them high
Wanna make them

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Way out
Way out

Oh, mama lick on me
I'm as tasty as a red plumb
Baby thumb
Wanna make you love
Wanna be wild animals
Lay down in a shady den
See the spring
Color in
Watch the stoney winter

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Way out
Way out

Take my eye
Do not wonder why
I've come to the crux
I've looked it up and down
Seen the trespassers trample themselves
As the miser makes love with his wealth
Convenience his lure

Tripped away the summer days
Some are gone
Some are OK
Summers gone
Some are making love
I love to watch you
Love to watch you

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away

Trip away
Way out
Way out


2. WHORES

Way down low where the streets are littered
I find my fun with the freaks and the niggers
I don’t want much man give me a little
Or I am gonna take my chances if I get them

I love them whores they never judge you
What can you say when you ‘re a whore
They cast that pearl and it don't upset them
They take their chances if they get them

Hear me go off
Give me some more
Mother fucker
Need a little more
Goddamn you
Give me some more
Mother fucker
Give me some more

You give me breadcrumb
I'm tired of living the bosses' dream
They'll squeeze you dry man if you let them
Better take your, take your, take your chances if you get them

Hear me go off
Give me some more
Mother fucker
Need a little more
Goddamn you
Give me some more
Mother fucker
Give me some more


3. PIGS IN ZEN

Pig's in the mud
When he tires
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen
Pig is nude
Unashamed
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen

Talking about the pig
The pig
The pig
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pig
Goddamned pig

Pig mounts sow
When he's wound
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen
Pig eats shit
But only when he hungers
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen

Talking about the pig
The pig
The pig - uh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pig
Goddamned pig

Oh, I know about war
But I just wanna fuck
I know about pain and suffering and being cold
But I just wanna fuck

The pig is led to the slaughter
Pig is led to the slaughter
This he says
Is the price some pay
For a simple life
How he feels
That’s proof for him
Pig's in zen

Talking about the pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
Goddamned pig
The pig


4. 1%

All the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people! I don't know?
They wont leave you alone
You gotta be just - be just like them

Biggest gang I know they call the government
Gang is a weapon
That you trade your mind in for
You gotta be just - be just like them

The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%

Trouble comes down
Like a foot stepping heavy
Shake your fist
At the bitch
Or wave your money
You gotta be right
You gotta be right
Don't be no
Supper for a big fish
With the big lip
And the over
Bite, bite

You gotta bite
Bite - bite - bite - dabita
Bite - bite - badadabita
Bite - bite - bite - bite
Bite - bite - bite - bite

Some the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people I don't know
They won’t leave you alone
You gotta be just - be just like them

The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%


5. I WOULD FOR YOU

I'm everybody's slave
I made you my slave
You said
This I do for you
If it would help
To give the world back
What it gave
Then I would
I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you

You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder
What I would do
I would do
Anything
If I could
You know I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you


6. MY TIME

Yeah the rain came
I said: "hey buddy"
Buddy the streets are a snake skin
I belong
Out there walking
Nobody's stopping to bother me
They hide
Outside, the ceilings
Crying

Listen to the sound
Of the gutters running
Wash this dirty town
All fronts and no backs
Give me my time
Let me be
Outside
Under the ceiling
Crying
Yeah, all over me
Crying
Yeah, all over me

Outside you know
I listen to the sounds
Of the gutters running
Wash this dirty town
All fronts and no backs
Give me my time
Let me be
Outside
Under the ceilings
Crying
Yeah, all over me
Crying
Yeah, all over me


7. JANE SAYS

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just
Try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's O.K. man
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
Starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walk up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
I've never been in love
I don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Jane says
Jane says


8. ROCK N ROLL

Jenny said when she was just five years old
You know there's nothing happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing going down at all
Then one fine morning she puts on a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the amputations
You could just dance to a rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright

Jenny said when she was just five years old
My parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Ain't gonna help us at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
She don't believe what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock 'n ' roll station
And it was alright


9. SYMPATHY

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out: "who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners, saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game


10. CHIP AWAY

I chip away
Cause I'm not ok
So I
I chip away
Poked a hole right into myself
And inside I found someone
Who said I was OK
Still I don't feel easy

On this tree
Among the blossoms
Caustically
I am the thorn
Close my eyes to take up spare time
I wish I just
Could be where the crowd goes
With the crowd
They must be going somewhere

Up from the catacombs
I ran into the angel again
He took the high road
And I took the low road
We both were dirty faces
We both were dirty faces

I don't
I don't
I don't
Don't feel easy
I don't
I don't
I don't
Don't feel easy
