A1. THE THIN GRUEL
(B. BRAT - BUCK GOOTER)
THE THIN GRUEL FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
NOTHING IS LEFT BUT A MOUNTAIN OF SHOES
DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE WITH THE TOOLS THAT THEY GAVE YOU
IF THEY BREAK
USE YOUR HANDS
THIS ALL STARTED AS A GOOD IDEA, EVERYTHING STARTS AS A GOOD IDEA
THE THIN GRUEL FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
SOMETIMES YOU LIVE
AND SOMETIMES YOU DIE
BUT TO SURVIVE
TO REALLY SURVIVE
CUT A PIECE OF MEAT OUT OF YOUR THIGH
AND BOIL IT WITH PAPER FOR A FOOD SUPPLY
WITH THEM THERE’S NO TRUTH
SO THEY DON’T TELL ANY LIES
IT’S NOT HALF EMPTY – THERE IS NO INSIDE
THE THIN GRUEL FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

A2. IN TONGUES
(B. BRAT - BUCK GOOTER)
MIRED IN VITUPERATION
A VERBAL THRASHING FROM THE LORD THOUGH YOU
FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE “SURVIVAL SCROLL”
A LANGUAGE MADE BY INDIVIDUAL
NOW WHEN YOU SPOKE IN TONGUES
DID YOUR EYES LOOK DEAD?
ROLLED BACK IN
THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD
DID YOU SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL?
DID YOU SEE WHAT I SAW?
AND IF A SOURCE WAS FOUND
IF TRANSLATION WERE POSSIBLE
WE WOULD NEVER KNOW
TO KEEP THE EXPRESSION PURE
RESPECT TO THOSE MOVED TO RELAY A MESSAGE
OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN AND OF UNKNOWN IMPORT

A3. CATS ARE COOL
(T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
HAD A CAT NAMED MALCOLM
NAMED HIM AFTER HIS MEOW
THEN HE MOVED TO PHILLY
CATS ARE COOL ANYHOW
CATS ARE COOL
THEY GOT A MIND LIKE A FOX
CATS ARE COOL
THEY EVEN SHIT IN A BOX
CATS ARE COOL
THEY’LL SHOW YOU WHAT IS THE SCORE
CATS ARE COOL
THEY THROW THEMSELVES AT THE DOOR
WHEN STRAY DOGS ARE STARVING
CATS ARE GETTING FAT
THEY’RE SO INDEPENDENT
ALWAYS GET THEIR RAT

A4. CAN’T STAND THE LIGHT
(T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
FADING INTO RED AGAIN
MY BRAIN JUST WILL NOT LET ME WIN
WHY MUST I BE THE CHOSEN ONE
THAT WILL NEVER FIND THE SUN?
HERE IT COMES AROUND AGAIN
THESE FEELINGS SHOULD
BE MADE A SIN
THE DOCTORS ARE LIKE CATS
PLAYING WITH MY BRAIN
TRAPPED IN A ZOO FOR THE INSANE
AND IN DARKNESS I DWELL
EVERY DAY’S A LIVING HELL
WHY MUST I BE THE CHOSEN ONE
THAT WILL NEVER FIND THE SUN?

She Sees Only Flowers

A5. SHE SEES ONLY FLOWERS
(B. BRAT - BUCK GOOTER)
AND SHE SEES ONLY FLOWERS
NOT THE SNAKES IN WAITING
FLOWERS FACE THE SUNLIGHT
AND THE GRASS IS MOVING
STOPPED DEAD IN HER TRACKS
SHE SEES ONLY BEAUTY
MARCHING TOWARDS THE LIGHT
IGNORANT TO THE SNARING
IN THE DANCE OF THE FAIRIES
THEIR STEPS LEAVE
COLORFUL BLOOMS
EVEN ON THIS BLACKENED EARTH?
EVEN IN THE YARD OF A TOMB?
THE ASP IN THE UNDULATING GRASS
READY TO SPRING FORTH AND ATTACK
READY TO ECLIPSE WITH ITS
SHADOW CAST
DARKNESS OVERTAKING LIGHT IN A PREMATURE LAPSE
OF LIFE ESCAPING
THIS MOMENT FROZEN, SEEN FROM THE CRUELEST DISTANCE
SHE SEES ONLY FLOWERS
NOT THE SNAKES IN WAITING

B1. FIGURE IT OUT
(T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
LIFE HAS A MESSAGE
NO ONE EVER GETS
THERE’S A FEW OF US WHO DON’T GIVE A SHIT
WE DO WHAT WE DO AND WE DOUBT WHAT WE DOUBT
AND DON’T SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
YOU CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT
SOME SPEND THEIR LIVES JUST TRYING TO WIN
OTHERS SPEND THEIR TIME THINKING ABOUT THE END
WE DO WHAT WE DO AND WE DOUBT WHAT WE DOUBT
AND DON’T SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
YOU CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT

Skunks Are Cool

B2. SKUNKS ARE COOL
(T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
SKUNKS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY
EVERYWHERE THEY GO
THEY’RE ‘BOUT AS PUNK
AS ANYTHING I KNOW
IF YOU DON’T WATCH YOUR ASS
THEY’LL SPRAY YOU FULL OF MIST
THEN YOU’LL STINK FOR DAYS
MAKE YOUR LADY HISS
SKUNKS ARE COOL
THEY HAVE A LITTLE SAC CONNECTED TO THEIR ASS
WHEN THEY RAISE THEIR TAILS
THEY’RE SAYING “KISS MY CLASS”
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THOSE APPLES, SON
DON’T WALK DOWN THAT STREET
OH YEAH SKUNKS ARE COOL AND YOU’RE JUST STINKIN’ MEAT
SKUNKS ARE COOL

Revisal Time
02:38
|

B3. REVISAL TIME
(B. BRAT - BUCK GOOTER)
NEGATION OF DEITY
NEGATION OF CHRIST
INVERSION OF THE POLE
UPON WHICH HE DIED
DECEPTION THROUGH FEALTY
DECEPTION THROUGH RITES
OBSESSION WITH THE SELF
LIFE TO OTHERS DENY
IT’S TIME YOU REVISED
IT’S REVISAL TIME
IT’S TIME YOU EXPLAINED HOW YOU SURVIVED
MARKING SIX THREE TIMES IN A STRAIGHT LINE
I WILL DIE AND SEVER AND KNOW NOTHING FOREVER
DIVINITY I WILL RESIST
UNMARKED BY THE BEAST AND UNMARKED BY THE SPIRIT
THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO NOT EXIST

B4. STRAIGHT TO HELL
(T. TURTLE - BUCK GOOTER)
IN THE CORNER STOOD AN ANGEL
SHE WAS WEARING ALL MY DREAMS
IN THE MIRROR I WAS LOOKING
AT A DEMON STARING BACK AT ME
HEY LORD
TAKE ME UP TO HEAVEN
‘CAUSE WE’RE HEADED STRAIGHT TO HELL
WE ARE ROCKIN’ WITH OUR MAGIC
WE ARE LIVING WHAT WE SEEM
AS THE CLOCK AND LIFE KEEP DANCING
SOMETIMES MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM
HEY LORD
TAKE ME UP TO HEAVEN
‘CAUSE WE’RE HEADED STRAIGHT TO HELL
MY GUITAR JUST WANTS TO LOVE ME
I’M EXHAUSTED IN THIS DREAM
IF THERE REALLY IS A HELL
MY GUITAR WILL BURN WITH ME
HEY LORD
TAKE ME UP TO HEAVEN
‘CAUSE WE’RE HEADED STRAIGHT TO HELL

Consider The Grackles

B5. CONSIDER THE GRACKLES
(B. BRAT - BUCK GOOTER)
AS UNKNOWN AS AN END COULD BE
CERBERUS SCARFED A PIECE
DISMEMBER YOURSELF
RESURRECT YOURSELF IN SONG
CONSIDER THE GRACKLES AS
I’VE NEVER DONE
IN THE FEVERED NIGHT REMAIN ALONE
REMEMBERING WHAT HAS GONE ON
IN THE FEVERED NIGHT ALMOST SEE IT
LIKE A GRACKLE’S DEFINITION AGAINST THE DARKNESS:
A SHAPE, A BODY, A BEING –
SEPARATE FROM THE VOID,
IT MAKES ITSELF KNOWN
PART OF MANY STORIES
BUT IT DIES ALL ALONE
CONSIDER THE GRACKLES AS
I’VE NEVER DONE
IT WILL BE AND IT WILL END
THE GRACKLE’S FATE SEPARATE
FROM THE BLACK WOMB
THAT SPAWNED IT
NOW STATIONED IN THE MYRIAD
UNCOMMON PATH AND FERAL SONG
KNOWN TO ANYONE
WHO PAYS ATTENTION
THE RAINBOW FROM BLACK NOTHING:
THE GRACKLE’S WING IN A
CERTAIN LIGHT SHOWN
CONSIDER THE GRACKLES AS
I’VE NEVER DONE
