APOCALYPSE ME (B. BRETT - BUCK GOOTER)
APOCALYPSE ME, YEAH
APOCALYPSE YOU
TOOK A FEW TRIES BUT I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO YOU:
A HUMAN FRIEND
LIVING WITH YOU IN A BURNING ROOM
I WONDER WHAT WE’D DO?
WATCH THE FLAMES ROLL OVER THE CEILING?
SHARE A SONG OR TWO?
COME TO THINK OF IT THAT’S ALL WE DO
IT’S GOOD TO HAVE OPTIONS
IF ONLY A FEW
A HUMAN FRIEND
I’LL KNOW UNTIL THE END
CAN’T BELIEVE I EVEN KNOW YOU – NEVER MET YOU A DAY IN MY LIFE
UNTIL I FINALLY FOUND YOU
HOW ABOUT WONDERMENT?
HOW ABOUT SURPRISE?
HOW ABOUT ATONEMENT?
HOW ABOUT SHRIVE?
ALRIGHT
APOCALYPSE ME, YEAH
APOCALYPSE YOU
A HUMAN FRIEND
UNTIL THE END
I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
CLOSED SHUT, RUSTED, SEALED WITH DIMES
I BRING ASHES FOR THE OFFERING
FROM THE ROOM WHERE WE SPENT ALL OUR TIME
ASHES FOR THE OFFERING FOR WHICH I PAID A HEAVY PRICE:
A HUMAN FRIEND
YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE THE ROOF COME CRASHING IN
BURNING BEAMS PILED UP MOCKINGLY
YOU’RE A HUMAN
HUMAN FRIEND
UNTIL THE VERY
VERY END
YOU’RE A HUMAN
HUMAN FRIEND
UNTIL THE VERY
VERY END – ALONE

Goats Are Cool

GOATS ARE COOL (T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
GOATS ARE IN MY LANDSCAPE
I'D TAKE THEM TO MASS
THEY'RE MAGICAL EROTIC
GOATS GET LOTS OF ASS
GOATS ARE COOL
I LOVE GOATS FOREVER
THEY'RE SO FUCKING CLEVER
SOME CHRISTIANS DEEM THEM EVIL
THAT LOGIC IS SO FEEBLE
GOATS GET ALL THE BLAME
THAT'S A TRAGIC SHAME
GOATS ARE HEAVY METAL
THEY KEEP THE HOOF TO THE PEDAL

PRAY TO GOD (B. BRETT - BUCK GOOTER)
YOU ALMOST MADE ME PRAY TO GOD
AND WHILE THERE'S WORSE THINGS I COULD'VE DONE
YOU PUT ME IN A TIGHT SPOT
YOU ALMOST MADE ME PRAY TO GOD
ON MY KNEES
IN YOUR EYES
I SEE WHAT IT MEANS TO WORSHIP
TO KNOW THE LIMITS OF COMFORT
TO OBSESS AND TO FEED ON A DREAM
YOU ALMOST MADE ME PRAY TO GOD
HE WOULD'VE BEEN ON TO ME
AND TOLD ME "NO"
SHUNNED THE WAY YOU ALWAYS DO
SHUNNED THE WAY YOU ALWAYS DO
PRAYERS ARE FOR BEGGARS
I CAME SO CLOSE
I DON'T NEED TO ASK FOR ANYTHING
I STILL BELIEVE THE MOST
I STILL BELIEVE THE MOST

100 Bells

100 BELLS (B. BRETT - BUCK GOOTER)
100 BELLES SING TO ME
THEIR BEAUTY IS A FLORAL THING
A BOUQUET I'LL NEVER GROW
100 BELLS RING FOR ME
THEIR HANDSOME CHARM IS A LIQUID THING
I USE TO FILL MY MOULD
100 BELLES SHINE AND THINK
THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND ME
100 BELLS BANG AND BLEAT
THEY KNOW WE'RE ONLY HERE
BUT FOR THE SAKE OF NUCLEAR HEAT
100 BELLES
SING TO ME
100 BELLS
RING FOR ME
100 BELLES ARE EVERYTHING
I'VE WATCHED THEM SHOULDERING
NEVER HEARD THEM WHINING
100 BELLS BEFORE YOU SLEEP
DEAFENING YOUR MIND
LEADING YOU TO SLAUGHTER
100 BELLES STAY BEHIND AND WEEP
100 BELLES STAY BEHIND AND WEEP
THEY WISH THAT THEY COULD STOP IT
THEY ARE THE EARTH: UNEMPOWERED
100 BELLS HAVE A SCHEDULE TO KEEP
MAINTAINING ORDER AS THE SUN
THEY'LL DIE IN A SUPERNOVA HOUR
THEY'LL DIE ON THE 100TH HOUR
THERE’LL COME A TIME
WHEN THE BELLS WON’T BE RINGING

I DON’T TALK TO THE DEAD (T. TURTLE – BUCK GOOTER)
WHO'S THAT KNOCKING ON MY DOOR?
ALL ALONG THE WATCH TOWER AND SO MUCH MORE
NOW I'VE MADE JEHOVAH SORE
WHAT THE HELL AM I HIDING FOR?
I DON'T TALK TO THE DEAD
JUST KEEP THE LIVING IN MY HEAD
PREACHERS SAY A LOT OF TERRIBLE THINGS
SAY MY SOUL’S GONNA BURN IN FLAMES
SAY I NEED TO FALL DOWN ON MY KNEES
GET RID OF THOSE DEMON FLEAS
I HAVE NO DESIRE TO LIVE FAST
USE WHAT I GOT AND MAKE IT LAST
WHEN MY TIME ON EARTH IS PAST
ALL YOU PREACHERS CAN KISS MY ASS!

Dissolved Song

DISSOLVED SONG (B. BRETT – BUCK GOOTER)
WEARING A SUIT OF THISTLES TO TRY AND MAKE AMENDS
COVERED IN FUR WITH BUTCHER BLADES AND HOPES TO BE FORGIVEN
DRESSED IN THE DEEPEST SECRETS: A SHADOW OF A MAN
SPIRIT ELEVATED
BODY LEFT WHERE IT BEGAN
THE EXPRESSION, TRADITION, EXTRACTION OF HUMAN SIN
TURN THE MIND AND CHANGE EVERY TIME
BEYOND THE GRAY DAYS SWIM
INTO THE CLOUDS SOAR AND HEAR FOREVERMORE:
"THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HAVING BEEN ABSOLVED, CLEANSED, AND READY FOR NO END"
CLOTS OF EARTH BENEATH THE STAMPING OF FISTS
CLOTS OF EARTH BENEATH THE STAMPING OF FISTS
COVERED IN RAIN, AWAY TODAY, TRYING TO REMAIN THE SKY
POOLS OF LIQUID EARTH ENTER NOSTRILS AND EYES
FAILING FINGERTIPS FILLED WITH SEDIMENT AND BRINE
TROUNCED BY THE PRONOUNCEMENT
TROUNCED BY THE LIES
CURLING INWARD AND FINDING A GLOW INSIDE
IT'S A REFLECTION OF AN ANCIENT SONG
THAT DISSOLVED INTO PURE LIGHT
IT'S BETTER HEARD THIS WAY
IT'S ALRIGHT
IT'S ALRIGHT
DEEPLY DUG IN SO THE EARTH IS A SKIN
COULD SUCCESSFULLY MOLT IF A NEW SHELL WAS FOUND WITHIN
WITHIN

Hey Lou

HEY LOU (T. TURTLE – BUCK GOOTER)
HERE COMES THE OCEAN
I'M THINKING VELVET UNDERGROUND,
YOU LEFT US WITH LULU AND SAID, “FUCK THIS TOWN”
YOU AREN'T HERE NO MORE TO WRITE ANOTHER PERFECT DAY
THE ROCK N ROLL ANIMAL HAS GONE TO STAY
HEY LOU!
WHY'D YOU GO AND LEAVE ME ALONE?
HEY LOU!
WHEN YOU TOOK AWAY YOUR MUSIC PHONE
HERE COMES THE OCEAN
I FEEL SO ALONE
SINCE THE CONEY ISLAND BABY
TOOK AWAY HIS MUSIC PHONE
LULU WAS A STATEMENT
THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE
THE SATELLITE OF LOVE HAS ROCKED ON OUT THE DOOR

MOUND 72 (B. BRETT – BUCK GOOTER)
A MOMENT WITH YOU AT MOUND 72
ALONG THE WHITE PATH
AWAY FROM THE MAIN DRAG
TOWARDS THE BORDER
PAST THE 20TH CENTURY SHACK
DEFILING A BURIAL GROUND
WHERE THEY PARK THEIR TOYOTA
WHITE TAILS DON’T IMMEDIATELY FLIP UP AND FLY
WE ENJOY SIGHT OF THE GRAZING HERD AS WE WALK BY
AS WE WALK BY
WARMED BY THE AUTUMN SUN
THAT SHINES ON THEIR RETREAT THROUGH A HAUNTED GROVE
BEVELED GROUND WITH HORRORS BENEATH
HUBRIS ON THE TOP LAYER, SORROW BELOW
A MASSACRE SITE, RITUAL BURIAL, 272 INTERRED
SOME WITHOUT HEADS OR HANDS
SOME FOUND WITH FINGERS POINTED UP
TRYING TO DIG
BURIED ALIVE
BURIED ALIVE
BRUTALITY OF THAT TIME
REPRESENTED BY A HILL TODAY
GRASSHOPPERS PIERCING SUNBEAMS
LIKE AN ARTIFICIAL HEAT HAZE
ANY KIND OF HAZE OVER THIS PLACE WILL DO
A MOMENT WITH YOU AT MOUND 72

Curl

CURL (B. BRETT – BUCK GOOTER)
SEE THE DREAM CURL AROUND
IN AND OUT OF ITSELF
SPLATTER AGAINST THE NEBULA CLOUD
DIE IN FRONT OF THE SUN
TORN OUT, SHUT, AND BROKEN DOWN
ALIVE AND LIKENED TO SOUND
THRU TEETH IT PASSES
THRU SPEECH IT'S FLATTENED
CARESSED AND MADE MEMBRANOUS
TRANSPARENT BUT SPARKED WITH LIFE
AN EYE LEFT COMPLETELY OPEN
SO THAT IT'S ONLY SIGHT
PART OF SEEING USED TO BE
PEACE FROM THE LIGHT
NOW IT'S TIME TO STARE IT DOWN
NOW IT'S TIME TO STARE IT DOWN
WHIP THAT HUNGER AROUND AND MAKE IT RIGHT
EAT SINCE THERE'S NO END IN SIGHT
HARDEN, TURN, CAST SHADE AND BECOME THE NIGHT
WHEN THE DREAMS COME OUT: CURL AROUND
WHEN THE DREAMS COME OUT: CURL AROUND

FRACKING UP THE PLANET (T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN,
SAVIOR OR REALITY CLOWN?
QUESTION FOR COMPUTER I GUESS
WE'RE HEADED FOR A POSSIBLE MESS
EPA REGULATIONS UP IN THE AIR
NOW YOU'RE GONNA FRACK IT ALL UP
NOW YOU'RE GONNA FRACK IT ALL UP
GARBAGE IN THE WATER
POLLUTION EVERYWHERE
NOW YOU'RE GONNA FRACK IT ALL UP
I REMEMBER THE GREASE COVERED FOWL
OIL COMPANIES ONLY CARE ABOUT NOW
I REMEMBER THAT OCEAN SPILL
THIS CRAP REALLY GIVES ME A CHILL
DRILLING IN THE LAND
EARTHQUAKES OUTTA HAND
NOW YOU'RE GONNA FRACK IT ALL UP
WE ALL NEED CLEAN AIR TO BREATHE
AND WATER THAT'S SAFE TO TASTE
NATURAL TO INDUSTRIAL WASTE
I AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT PACE
STEPPING BACKWARDS MADLY
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
NOW YOU'RE GONNA FRACK IT ALL UP
