The Plan
there's a way to drive, i see it once in
a while
i watch the tail-lights and memorize
i won't be too scared, i won't be too tired
i'm becoming hard-wired
feeling hazy, waking up inertia
i'm having dreams i'm in the wrong picture
am i older than you thought
did you get less than you bought
dan you wanna roast it dan
we're gonna kick it in the head if we can
me i'm just, me i'm just, i never got to read the plan
dan you wanna roast it dan
you know i never know the right way around
i need a map to get us out of this town
now your hand is flashing danger
i'm underdressed and you're getting stranger
i can't tell you i'm incomplete
you're gonna step on me
Deeper Well
if i fell down a big hole
would you tell
how do you know
it's a deepening well
like the big o
i know
it's a bad scene to be whole
it's a bad dream i hope
Marie
to feel
they're following me
if i painted a tear
would you figure it out
would it make matters clear
would it shed some doubt
it's been happening for years
it's a roundabout
pull back from the front
there's a bigger gap
than you thought
a bigger trap
in which to be caught
i've got to get away from the bricks
all these straight lines are making me sick
Ice Box
stay until you're sure that i'm asleep
warm safe and very still
give all my things away
just wait until tomorrow
every afternoon
i wasted being mad at you
the things i never said
the things i can't say tomorrow
after death
i'll think of you somehow
i'll have an eternity
to think about tomorrow
bury me in sorrow
cover me in joy
Psychic Caramel
take a look at what's been done
the killing wound is the thousandth cut
a dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach
sea sun sand self.
psychic caramel dimulants, they're good for the undertow
better than a psychotic stimulant, word to your mother you
know
but it's a drag you know sometimes
and it drags
sea sun sand self.
going deaf and peaceful, i'm going for a walk
the times i have the most to say are the times that i can't
talk
sea sun sand self.

three important rules for breaking up
don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
prolonging the situation only makes it worse
tell him honestly simply kindly but firmly
don't make a big production
don't make up an elaborate story
this will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene
if you want to date other people, say so
be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
even if you've gone together for only a short time
and haven't been too serious
there's still a feeling of rejection when somebody says
she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company
but if you're honest and direct
and avoid making a flowery emotional speech
when you break the news
the boy will respect you for your frankness
and honestly, he'll appreciate the kind straight-forward
manner
in which you told him your decision
unless he's a real jerk or a cry-baby you'll remain friends
i'm head of the class
i'm a quarterback
my mom says i'm a catch
i'm never last picked
i'm a cheerleading chick
being attractive is the most important thing there is
if you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond
you have to be as attractive as possible
make sure to keep your hair spotlessly clean
wash it at least every two weeks
once every two weeks
and if you see johnny football hero in the hall
tell him he played a great game
(tell him you liked his article in the newspaper)
i'm the party star
i've got my own car
i'll never get caught
i'm the teacher's pet
i make football bets
i propose we support a one-month limit on going steady
i think it would keep people more able to deal with weird
situations
get to know more people
i think if you're ready to go out with johnny
now's the time to tell him about your one-month limit
he won't mind
he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
and once you've dated someone else
you can date him again
i'm sure he'll like it, everyone will appreciate it
you're so novel, what a good idea
you can keep your time to yourself, you don't need date
insurance
you can go out with whoever you want to
every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
if you'll just listen to my plan

Zen Brain
chaque année je me sens plus étrange
qu'est ce que j'ai dit
tu pleures maintenant
je peux pas cacher
j'ai vraiment cru vouloir te quitter
mais quand t'es pres
tu saisis toujours toutes mes pensées
j'aime dormir
je suis content qu'en revant
il me faut un nouveau coeur
le mien est vide
il est trameur
en hiver tu songes a l'été
en été tu songes a l'hiver
mais ou est l'eclat ou est le flair
zen brain surmonte tes betises
jette toutes tes bequilles d'hier
super brain never scared of nothing
violence or loving my way
today
Sleep
step in my shoes, wait till you see the big
flash now
glued to the sheets, sleep with the sheep all month long
easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
stuck in a rut, don't give a fuck if we're us
lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
you know that i know that you know that i know that you
know
i want you to kiss me
i try to open my eyes
to the days going by
but the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
i'm hypnotized
i got the poison in me
but it's amplified
no TV

Me and You
me and you
got nothing better to do
than to push each other around
in our own way
i'm gonna divine it
i'm gonna figure out the cause
why we're both riding up and down
on my emotional flaws
dig a deep shaft
fill it with grass
catch the alien ships
when they're gonna pass
nothing is sacred
but everything's clean
watch the silly humanoids
always stuck in between
everyone's down
lazy and slow
everyone's down
everyobody wants to know
fully sketched out
but down inside
still down inside
Silent fighting
don't know what to say
don't know what to talk about
don't know what to do
about me and you
I don't know what to think
I always feel time's running out
it's getting harder
harder to get a clue
even when we're quiet fighting
silent treatment on the street
still there's no doubt we're going home together
even when we're silent fighting
making a scene on the street
we'll be under the covers and out of the weather
I just can't tell the truth
always thinking 'bout leaving you
i'll be the captive
you'll be the captain
i'll be your chaperone
i'll book your first date now
been watching too much television
been thinking stupid thoughts
so confused about men and women
I just can't tell the truth
always thinking 'bout leaving you
Spooky
do you remember lying on the ground
you were smart and spooky
we rented a car and left our bands
and drove outside the city
I remember the view
it was the stars and you
we thought that this was the one
both of our ships had come
when I went away you made me a book
full of goodnight letters
I answered each one and we made plans
for when we'd be together
but when we wanted more
and told you I wasn't sure
it started a storm
you think it's all my fault
I think it's all your fault
but we were never so together
everywhere we went
was everywhere we went
some people thought we were fighting
trying to read each other's writing
how can you resurrect straight into a wreck?
The manoeuvres
the lover's crime is to think alone
waste your time in another zone
my wicked mind thinks you're on loan
learn the manoeuvres again and again
affection and alienation
keep my footing with some of my friends
while others are changing the station
you want to compete
but I just don't care
throw the match
i'll still be fair
you say you're not reaching out
but I saw your flares
admit you and I are defeatist clones
how else to explain the higher potential
wait in line in ill-fitting clothes
only using my gears when it's essential
Sick Of You

Robot
you're just walking round your little mazes
figuring out how to get by,
how to get laid and get famous, get yourself paid, impress
the guys.
you think you're thinking for yourself
but when you get on the subway's most crowded part just
to stand behind a
girl
then you are just a robot, executing a program.
you are just a robot, an imitation of a man
you're taught to divide the world into buddies and wives,
sluts and wimps;
and ever since, you've kept a scorecard - how else to prove
you're such
the pimp.
you think you're thinking for yourself
but when you when you can't get any the consentual way so
you decide to
use some force
then you are just a robot, executing a program.
you are just a robot, an imitation of a man
she told me one night when we were lying quiet and cold,
something not
right.
it had been months since the good times, once there was
sun, now there was
night.
and she said to me as she turned on the light,
"there's something you don't know keeps me from feeling
right.
i once knew a guy, i'd seen him around.
he knew all my friends, he came from town.
one night at a party, we both were there,
he followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hair,"
and she said "i still remember just how the floor felt and
how my head
would hit the tub."
now where is that robot, put a stake thru my true love
where is that robot, should get struck down from above
you are just a robot, executing a program, an imitation
of a man
Amateur
you made me feel like i'm ok, i could be
happy
now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.
i walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
i've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running?
you said i should get professional help, it always makes
me cry.
i know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try.
i had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who
love me
we hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were
so lovely
when exactly are we? i get the decades mixed up.
i like the streets when they're empty, i can make the rest
up.
every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night.
every day is new year's eve, every time is the last time.
River Phoenix
born to hippie parents
given a different name
which he caught much flak for
the world was his oyster
and hollywood the clam
when he grew up
he joined a hippie band
he was directed by gus van zandt
we'd like to think he'd have joined the smartipantz
co-starred with flea and keanu
we didn't know jackie O
she was one of the people that we did not know
nor did we care about her hair
her pillbox hat and her savoir faire
but still we thought we knew
maybe you did too
river phoenix
river phoenix
ian curtis
and river phoenix
and me and you
né a des parents hippies
donné un drole de nom
on lui a beaucoup taquiné
le monde etait sa mere
hollywood la pierre
il n'etait pas pour cette terre
dirigé par gus van zandt
on aime penser qu'il aurait chanté avec les smartipantz
co-star avec flea et keanu
Mother's Day
I wanna know
Do you have the balls to ask?
what do you see when you look at a girl?
Is she a game you wanna win?
If no one wa looking
What would you do to get in?
Do you have friends who would be proud
If you went in for the kill?
Do you have friends who would do it
Even against her will?
What if they did that to your sister?
What if they did that to your mother?
Why are we so slow?
I bet you think you're such a hottie
But a body afraid is not a sexual body
Everybody's been laughed at
And everybody's been left out but,
That's no excuse to turn it around
No boy has the right to hold a girl down
On your star wars sheets
When you get the scene
Was she seducing you
Or did she want to scream?
It's you versus you versus you
I can't forget that tomorrow's Mother's Day,
I'm talking to you
You know who you are
Going too far
You'll feel good for ten minutes
She'll be screwed up for life
Blue balls and all of that bullshit
dispossesion
my coat, leave behind my coat and my belt,
leave behind my coat and all that,
i don't want it back...
it's called undertown and it's over that way.
some people leave in the morning,
some people when they go to bed.
inside, it's been rotting for a long time now,
ever since i found out
i'm not to blame if i get left out.
my coat, leave behind the looks, magazines and books.
don't want it back.
we're going away, we're dropping the lot.
we'll take another tack if we ever get stopped.
it's the last plan we made before we came unglued.
there's a lot of things to do
i can't do in my room
i can't get out too soon
