(She's In A) Bad Mood
(Thurston)

She's in a bad mood
But I won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But I can't fall for it

She's in a bad mood
But I won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But I can't fall for it

Protect Me You
(Kim)

Protect me from ravagement
I am ten years old
I don’t know what I do

Protect me myself
I am fourteen
There’s nothing to do

Protect me yourself
I am sixteen

Protect me from starving
I am eighteen

Protect me you
I don’t know what you do

Protect me demons
That come at night
I don’t know what they say
Their whispering
Sends the night air away
And makes me forget
I hope they come
Again and again

I hope they come
Again and again
I hope they come again
Again, Again

So messed up, I want you here
In my room, I want you here
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog

Lose my heart on the burning sand
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Come on

(Thurston)

Oi
Aha, Aha

My body is a pastime
My mind is a simple joy
I learned my lesson
The hardest way

But you don’t know me
A complete inhuman

The World Looks Red
(Thurston)

Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog
The weight of my body
Is too much to bear
The memory drained
The life from the doll
An ocean of insects
Worked like a sheet
The immovable fact
Buried my mind
In a horsehair coat
In a pile
On the floor

Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog
The weight of my body
Is too much to bear
The memory drained
The life from the doll
The ocean of insects
Worked like a sheet
The immovable fact
Buried my mind
In a horsehair coat
In a pile
On the floor

Confusion Is Next
(Thurston)

I maintain that:
Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate uh, what you need to need:
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth

Stick your fingers in your mouth
Squeeze your tongue and wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer root
You gotta cultivate uh, what you need to need:
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth

Chaos is the future and beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate uh, what you need to need:
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth

Stick your fingers in your mouth
Squeeze your tongue and wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer root
You gotta cultivate uh, what you need to need:
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth
Sonic Tooth

Tell nothing but the truth

Making The Nature Scene
(Kim)

Going back to these origins
The city is a natural scape
Order in details
Confusion uproar in the whole
In nature reality is selection
The tool of critical intervention
Fragmentation is the rule
Unity is not taught in school
You are in unnatural growth
On a funny sunny street
The city has forgotten you
Its symbols of the past
The meaning of its state
It’s order of decay
Stand now in a column
And make the nature scene

Standing all in columns
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Waiting to make their pay
There is no resistance to
The signs along the way
Standing all in columns
Waiting to make their pay
Making the nature scene
Waiting for the day
There is no resistance to
There is no resistance to
Salvation means to count on you
It just means to count on you
Make that nature scene
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene

Kill Yr. Idols
(Thurston)

I don’t know why
You wanna impress Christgau
Ahh let that shit die
And find out the new goal

Kill yr. idols
Sonic death
It’s the end of the world
Confusion is sex

Kill yr. idols
Sonic death
It’s the end of the world
And confusion is sex

Brother James
(Kim)

Take my hand he said to me
Follow now or you’ll be damned
Let’s go to the other side
Let’s go to the other side

Straight forth or I’ll kick in your teeth
Straight forth or I’ll kick in your teeth

Brother James give it to me
Brother James give it to me

I don’t need it anymore
Comin’ knockin’ at my door
I don’t need it anymore
Comin’ knockin’ at my door

Take my hand you might as well
We’re going straight to hell
I don’t wanna hang around
Do I have to kick your ass around

Early American
(Kim)

Nothing but a savage bird
In your face
In your land
The weight of you is greater than
Forgot my pride
Forgot my side
Don’t bother to leave
There’s no room outside
Your sense of pride
Nothing here but a savage bird
