SHE'S HOT

She's hot I know
It's good she told me so
It's good she's not
I will she knows

I don't know what my name is
I don't know anything at all
Anything from A to Z
If you remember me at all

She's hot I know
She's hot she told me so
It's good she's not
It's hot she knows

I don't know what my name is
I don't know anything at all
I only know where she is I'll go
If I could read the writing on the wall

This is too much
She's hot and it's so
She is too much
It's good I know

I don't know what my name is
I don't know anything at all
Anything from A to Z
I only know I'll answer when you call

OUT MY WAY

Out my way
Days turns days
Days in grace
Out my way

Blue hands face
Good night's lace
Out in storms
Lights embrace

Down in its cave
My heart lays
Its own sun
Lights the day

OTHER KINDS OF LOVE

Love is sweeter than honey
Honey is sweeter than wine
Wine is sweeter than tangerines
Tangerines are blind

I know the earth between my feet
I know the skies above
I know that's where the angels meet
To spread uneartly love
Today I walked among them
I could not get enough
They did not even see me
As they did their angel stuff

One takes the staircase
One holds the wheel
One ties the cotton
To the tire maker's heel
Not hand to picture
What I'm thinking of
Many many other kinds of love

Wheels start a-turnin'
A lotta turns make rain
Rain swells the river
And the river floods the plain

I know the earth between my feet
I know the skies above
That's where the angels meet
To spread unearthly love
Six or seven others
Spilled out on the floor
They begin to multiply
There are hundreds more

NOT SWIMMING GROUND

Six straight rolls in a blind man's game
Half a dozen snake eyes all the time
Holler to an echo
Roll those hollow dice
To the other side
Another time

Got lost on the water
Wound up on the sand
Gaze out through the darkness
With the light in the palm of your hand
To the other side
Another time

I got to say this has nothing to do with the other side
I'll bet they wish they were 'round the corner on some crazy ride

Every time the walls tumble down
Build up new ones on the changing ground
Works about as well as water in your hand
The new ones are always the tallest ones around
The other side
Another time

You lay out in the water
The light in the palm of your hand
Goes moving through the water
Like the motion of a far off land
To the other side
Another time

Some wins and losses
They hear what they like
Rubbin' toes and burnin' trail
Headin' down the pike
To the other side
Another time

MOUNTAIN LINE

Well the moon was more than we could hope for
We sure know a real good time
Green black box with whatever's inside
Nighttime creeping from behind
We'll take him up to the cottonwood
Show him a real good time
Up in the canyon away from the river
Sure that's the mountain line
Well maybe someday I'll find what I'm after
And drag it away from my mind
Maybe someday I'll find
One more mountain line

Will the blue affect him
Is the night too fine
Eyes that follow steppin' out the river
Underneath the mountain line
Well I don't throw myself in the water
The fire's burning stronger with the rain
All it took me was a little understanding
Before I learned to move with the flame
Maybe someday I'll find what I'm after
And drag it away from the mine
Maybe someday I'll find
One more mountain line

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call

From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call

Mama, papa told me 'Son, you better watch yourself',
If they knew about miss Molly, have to watch my pa myself,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call

From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call

MIRAGE LYRICS

MIRAGE

SCANNING ALL AROUND
NOTHING THERE TO SEE
SUDDENLY FROM NOWHERE
THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE
BIG GUNPOWDER FALLS
TUMBLES UNDERGROUND
DROPS OF CARDBOARD WATER
ANCIENT BLOCKS OF SOUND
MIRAGE..
WATER SETS THE FIRE
SPINNING ON ITS TAIL
SHADE GROWS TO NIGHTIME
PLEASURES THERE FOR SALE
NOBODY SEES
THE WAY IT GOES
TIME LESS LAND
NOBODY KNOWS
MIRAGE...

QUIT IT

QUIT IT GIVE IT UP, RING THAT BELL
YOU CLIMB THE WALLS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL
LIKE GOLDEN ROSES FALLIN' DOWN
RINGING OUT ALL OVER TOWN
SOMEWHERE IN THE BALLROOM
RAIN BEGINS TO FALL
THE DANCERS TWISTED ON
THROUGH THE THUNDER AND THE WALLS
THERE IS A HARE OUT ON THE FIELD
THERE IS A FENDER OVER THE WHEEL
A STRING OF CROWS FLYIN' OUT THE HARE
SETTLES ON THE FENDER, WILL NOT GO AWAY
BACKWARDS TO THE SUNSET
ON A HORSE WITHOUT A BRAIN
MET THE MOON ONE EVENING
AS I STOOD OUT IN THE RAIN
QUIT IT GIVE IT UP, RING THAT BELL
QUIT IT GIVE IT UP, MIGHT AS WELL
DYNAMITE LYIN ROUND
BLOWIN UP, BLOWIN DOWN
PEEKIN UP, DIVING IN
ROSIE RIBBON HOWLS LET'S DO IT AGAIN
FEELING TOO FOR SIDEWAYS
FLASHING IN THE PAN
DOVE IN THROUGH THE WINDOW
STUMBLED TO A STAND
BABY GIVE IT UP, RING THAT BELL
GIVE IT UP GIVE IT UP, MIGHT AS WELL

CONFUSION FOG

I LOST MY MIND A COUPLE OF GALS AGO
I LEFT BEHIND, NEVER SAW IT GO
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW OUT ON THE LEAVES
CONFUSION FOG DRIFTING SWIRLING TO MY KNEES
BLUE WIND DRIFT ON
BLOW THROUGH TILL THE DUST IS GONE
GONE, CONFUSION FOG
I DROVE TOO FAST, HIT THE BRAKES TOO SOON
I BROKE MY WHEELS, BLEW MY AFTERNOON
THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW OUT ON THE LEAVES
CONFUSION FOG DRIFTING SWIRLING TO MY KNEES
BLUE WIND DRIFT ON
BLOW THROUGH TILL THE DUST IS GONE
GONE, CONFUSION FOG
I TOOK THE TIME, THEY NEVER SAW IT GO
LEFT BEHIND THE ONLY THING I KNOW
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW OUT ON THE LEAVES
CONFUSION FOG DRIFTING SWIRLING TO MY KNEES
BLUE WIND DRIFT ON
BLOW THROUGH TILL THE DUST IS GONE
GONE, CONFUSION FOG

THE WIND AND THE RAIN

DOESN'T IT BLOW SO COLD AND LONELY
OH, AND IT'S BLOWING YOUR WAY
THUNDER ROARS THE CLOUDS ARE REELING
A THOUSAND SHADES OF GREY
AND IF FALLS YOU SEE IT ALL
ALL THAT YOU SEE COMES FROM NOWHERE
CAN'T BE EXPLAINED
NO ONE CAN BUY
THE WIND AND THE RAIN
WHISTING WIND THE STARS ARE SHOOTING
NIGHT IS FALLING SOMEWHERE
GIMME A DOOR, I FEEL LIKE WALKING
PUTTING THE WIND IN MY HAIR
AS IT FALLS THE THUNDER CALLS
CALLS ITS OWN NAME
CAN'T BE CONTROLLED
CAN'T BE CONTAINED
NO ONE CAN BUY
THE WIND AND THE RAIN
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
SOME THINGS REMAIN
NO ONE CAN BUY
THE WIND AND THE RAIN

THE MIGHTY ZERO

FOUR SIDES OF CURVES
YOU CALL IT ROUND
IT'S SAYING NOTHING
DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND
DOESN'T LIFT A FINGER
BUT IT'S WORKING ALL THE TIME
GOT TO KNOW IT WELL
CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS ON MY MIND
HIDDEN BETWEEN THE LINES
THE UNSUNG HERO
TAKING THE TIME TO FIND
THE MIGHTY ZERO
IT'S JUST A NUMBER
YOU CAN COUNT IT ON YOUR HAND
BUT I STILL DON'T SEEM TO GET IT
THERE'S NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND
WOKE UP THIS MORNING
PULLED ON MY SHOES
NOTHING GOIN ON
BUT I GOT NO TIME TO LOSE
CAN'T SEEM TO SEE IT
DON'T SEEM TO CARE
HOW YOU SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT
THERE'S NOTHING THERE
NOTHING THERE AT ALL
THE INVISIBLE HERO
BUT YOU CAN WRITE IT ON THE WALL
THE MIGHTY ZERO
IT'S JUST A NUMBER
YOU CAN COUNT IT ON YOUR HAND
BUT I STILL DONT' SEEM TO GET IT
THERE'S NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND
NOTHING THERE TO SHOW
NO BIG DEAL, THO
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW
THE MIGHTY ZERO

GET ON DOWN

WAY OFF DOWN THE ROAD
THERE COMES WAGON RED
FOUND HIMSELF A NICKEL
WENT STRAIGHT TO HIS HEAD
GET ON DOWN
I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW
I SAW MEDIUM JOE
LIGHTING BOTH ENDS OF HIS CANDLE
GLOWING FROM HEAD TO TOE
GET ON DOWN
NEW CAR CHERRY TOMATO
PULLED OFF ALL THE DOORS
PULLED OFF THE STEERING WHEEL
GOT THE PEDAL TAPED TO THE FLOOR
GET ON DOWN

LEAVES

ONE DAY AS DUSK WAS NEARING
I SAW SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS WORTH HEARING
SOMETHING I KNEW ALL ALONG
NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG
WHO EVER MADE UP THE CALENDAR WAS WRONG
IT'S NEW YEAR'S ALL YEAR LONG
EACH YEAR IS A MINUTE
ONLY FULL OF THE LEAVES IN IT
NOW DADDY SAID THIS TO HIS SON
I KNOW FOR SURE THIS CAN BE DONE
WELL COVER UP OUR TRACKS AND THEN
WALK BACK THE OTHER WAY AGAIN
ONE DAY IN A FOREST CLEARING
I SAW DIFFERENT THING APPEARING
AND NOW IT'S BEEN AROUND SO LONG
NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG

I AM A MACHINE

I WENT OUTSIDE, WHAT DID I SEE
I SAW THE SKY, I SAW SOME TREES
I SAW A GIRL, A BEAUTY QUEEN
I KNEW THAT I WAS A MACHINE
THERE IS A BUTTON THAT MAKES ME GO
SHE TURNED IT ON AND LET ME KNOW
THAT SHE COULD BE MY GASOLINE
SHE KNEW THAT I WAS A MACHINE
THE WILDEST THING SHE'S EVER SEEN
I AM A MACHINE
THERE IS A MOTOR BEHIND MY EYES
SHE KICKS IT HARD, I START TO FLY
I FLY AROUND ELECTRIFIED
I DONT' SLOW DOWN TILL SOMETHING'S FRIED
I'M TELLING YOU THIS AIN'T NO DREAM
I AM A MACHINE
NOW LOOK AT HER, SHE QUITE A THING
SHE MAKES ME FEEL JUST LIKE A KING
THE FINEST LINES YOU EVER SEEN
YOU KNOW MY BABY IS A MACHINE
I'LL SATISFY YOUR CRAZY DREAMS
I AM A MACHINE
BUILD DOWN LOW AND MEAN
I AM A MACHINE

OOH BABY, I TELL Y'ALL, I AM A MACHINE

BEAUTY

I KNOW A PLACE
WHERE THE VISITOR ALWAYS STAYS
BEAUTY RUNS 'EM DOWN
WHEN THEY CHANCE TO CROSS THAT WAY
OUT ON THAT PLAIN
IT'S ANYBODY'S FAULT
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
IN POURS THE SALT
THROUGHT THE NIGHT I HEAR THAT STRAIN
BEAUTY'S ON MY TRAIL AGAIN
TRY TO RUN BUT MY LEGS ARE LAME
THROUGHT THE NIGHT I HEAR THE STRAIN
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
IN POURS THE TRASH
OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH
AND THE LIGHTNING STARTS TO FLASH
THROUGH THE NIGHT I HEAR THAT STRAIN
BEAUTY'S ON MY TRAIL AGAIN
TRY TO RUN BUT MY LEGS ARE LAME
THROUGH THE NIGHT I FEEL THE STRAIN

A HUNDRED MILES

I'VE GOT A QUESTION, I GOT TO KNOW
I KNOW RIGHT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
I GOT NO HURRY, I'VE GOT NO FIGHT
I KNOW IT'S ALL IN THE HIDDEN LIGHT
I CAN'T SEE IT WITH MY EYES
BUT I CAN FEEL IT
AND IT MIGHT JUST BE
A HUNDRED MILES AWAY
I'VE GOT NO BUSINESS, I GOT NO RIGHT
AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT VERY NICE
I CAN'T SEE IT WITH MY EYES
BUT I CAN FEEL IT
AND IT MIGHT JUST BE
A HUNDRED MILES AWAY

LOVE OUR CHILDREN FOREVER

SOME COME AWAY WITH AN ARMLOAD OF HAY
ONE SAILS TO MARKET ON HER SEA
SOME LIKE TO SAY THEY'LL DO IT YESTERDAY
ONE STARTS HIS CAR WITHOUT A KEY
SOME COME TO PLAY
AND THEY BLOW IT ALL AWAY
LOVE OUR CHILDREN FOREVER
SOME CUT THE TREES AND STACK THEM IN THE SAND
ONE LOOKS UP INTO THE SKY
SOME DO WHAT THEY PLEASE
THE WORLD'S AT THEIR COMMAND
SOME COME TO NOTHING BY AND BY
SOME COME TO PLAY
AND THEY BLOW IT ALL AWAY
LOVE OUR CHILDREN FOREVER

PARADISE

Laughing gold carried on silver
Open robe waving by the trailer
This is paradise
Ivory whales high on corn bread
Wind-filled sails fly to the doorstep
Hey little girl, hey young lady
I'm not wrong, don't say maybe
Out at night gazing at the heavens
Hold on tight, hold on eleven

LOOK AT THE RAIN

Been down to the corner
About once or twice
I don't know but it's been nice
I ain't got no money
I can't buy a damn thing
That I might like
Let's go down to the dime store
On some moonless night
And look at the rain

I got a shirt that cost a dollar twenty-five
I know I'm the best dressed man alive
I put it on and head down to the local dive
To put the icing on extraordinary rides
When I am done I leave em happy but insane
For to look at the rain

I'm a messed up torn down
Worthless bad of trouble
I take way too much
And I get right in your hair
I got a real sharp pin
With which to burst your bubble
This is trouble distribution
And I'm giving you your share
Won’t tell you nothing cause that's my aim
But I love the rain

BAD LOVE

I see a robbery
That's nothing new
I see a robber
Broken right in two

Took a little something
From the wonderland
Took a little lovin'
Love that burned his hand

Now here's the problem
There's nothing wrong
Compared to no love
Bad love can't be wrong

SEXY MUSIC

Let me see everything
Let me live forever
Give me wings and show me how
To control the weather

Give me the mountains
Give me the sea
Send a couple maidens
With soft hands to rub my feet

Give me superhuman strength
To wipe out what is wrong
Give me all of everything
I've wanted for so long

Unearthly visions filled my head
As A lay there and sexy music
Tumbled all around
And then the music turned to
Emerald feathered goblins
That cast their burning pearls
To the ground

Hot as the sun
The red rubber fountain of ecstasy
Flows from the palms of my hands
Like the wind
Hot as the sun

CRAZY

Whoa, crazy, got myself a job
Oh, crazy, one more bank to rob
I was lazy, had no fun in a while
Now, crazy, I got a reason to smile

When icy rain is falling
Then I can hear you call

Oh, this popstand, got no ocean view
Still I'm happy, something feel so new
Drop the problem, unless it's something you need
Oh, crazy, plant a different seed

I love the clothes you're wearing
But won't you let them fall

Take a minute, take an hour or two
Oh, crazy, I got nothing to do
Crazy moonbeams cover up the sky
Oh, crazy, you're the light in my eye

And after one has fallen
I got to have it all

FRUIT

It's a swamp
Just a jungle
Tigers slipping through all the time
Snakes and alligators
Want to have a piece of what is mine
I don't pay
No attention
To the nastiness going down
Just above me
Within my reach
There's plenty of good things hanging 'round

Fruit on the vine
Ice water fountains
Fruit on the vine
Fruit on the vine

I reach up for an apple
I grab an orange by mistake
I don't mind, it's alright
In the jungle, I get what I can take
Got a taste for
Watermelon
A taste of pomegranate too
Nevermind, I'll take a cherry
Any ripe and juicy one will do

My mouth is full
My face is messy
I'm feeling better with each bite
I take a break
For just a minute
But nothing satisfies
My appetite

AUTOMATIC MOJO

Its righteousness is shining
It walks in ruby shoes
There's not too much of nothing
You cannot make it do

I cross the muddy river
To dig a diamond mine
I got a good thing working
On diamond mining time

I got some cotton candy
I got a spool of thread
I'm gonna weave a basket
And put it on my head

Inside the mighty basket
I carry rattlesnakes
You got to be a monkey
To see the sense it makes

DRY RAIN

You said you'd make it grow
You said you'd make it green
But I see dusty fields
Broken rock is all I see

And all around me
I see your storm clouds
Another lies about to fall

It seemed like it was real
Felt like water to my skin
But I stepped through the rainbow
And saw the desert deep within

And all around me
Are roaring waters
But I won't let me
Be swept away

And all around me
I see the Pharaohs
I see collections
Of hats and guns

I CAN'T BE COUNTED ON

Give me lots of money
A house up on a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still

I'll come out to your house
And attempt to fix your sink
Do a mediocre job
As I'm leaving you will think

If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer when you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all

My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a 'doing
Well, you know I'm not your man

If you're counting on me
You know I'll let you down
You can't be counting on me
Cause you know I'm just a clown

Meat Puppets   REWARD We played for you and you did not dance We wailed and you did not listen And John came neither eating nor drinking And you said he is possessed by a demon The son of man came eating and drinking And you said he is a friend of tax collectors But what can I say about you?

PLAYING DEAD I'm dead, got nothing to lose The biggest fucker around's gonna give himself The blues trying to wake trouble for a dead man What's that You're mistaken The spot you wanted most has already been taken And it's been taken by your own self No reason for a hasty retreat You're dead just a little bit too Perhaps you've forgotten all the things you can't do Like letting your belly get swollen From lack of food And every broken rock or bone Or blue-green god tree or the smell of damp Or the touch of you reminds me Of the now we once knew LITTERBOX We're all in the gutter but I'm

face of the plateau some belong to strangers and some to folks you know holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand to beautify the foothills and shake the many hands there's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds you see a lot up there but don't be scared who needs action when you got words when you're finished with the mop then you can stop and look at what you've done the plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen and the work it took was fun well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau some said it was greenland and some say mexico others decided in was nowhere except for where they stood but those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could AURORA BOREALIS (instrumental) WE'RE HERE the night is restless but no dream's in sight and the sounds have no beginnings or ends and that glow is not a light the walls turn into waterfalls with water made of thoughts that call, "it's not okay to tip the glass don't make a noise or shed a tear you're not the only one that's you things have changed, now we are here." we are not the king and queen what we are ties in between the blankets that you've never seen but over you are spread "we are here," the voices sing "we are here," the echo thunders "yes we are," the doorbell rings "here we are and here in numbers" the others came in from the hall and thoughts with voices start to call "it's not okay to tip the glass or smile too long or shed a tear you're not alone the way you thought things have changed, now we are here" CLIMBING climb, climb, i always climb out of bed in the morning on a mountain made of sand and i know this doesn't rhyme but the clutter on the table has been getting out of hand i know that you tried to see me through but honey i'm still having trouble finding out what's you time, time, it's so sublime well they say it's non-existent but it's playing with my mind and phone calls don't cost a dime in the caverns of your feelings where the sun will never shine mine, mine, which things are mine? well i thought i saw a few before i found out i was blind and i think i see a sign and it's saying where to go and when i get there what i'll find NEW GODS how much do i owe you? i'll pay but i don't want to days of where i came from in a restaurant in mexico they told me not to drink the water and not to touch the food "all we got is pepsi cola and we know that it won't hold you but remember what we told you no one else knows what's in store remember that we told you" OH, ME if i had to lose a mile if i had to touch feelings i would lose my soul the way i do i don't have to think i only have to do it the results are always perfect and that's old news would you like to hear my voice sweetened with emotion invented at your birth? i can't see the end of me my whole expanse I cannot see i formulate infinity and store it deep inside of me LAKE OF FIRE where do bad folks go when they die? they don't go to heaven where the angels fly they go down to the lake of fire and fry won't see 'em again till the fourth of july i knew a lady who lived in duluth she got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth but she went to her grave a little too soon and she flew away howling at the yellow moon now the people cry and the people moan and they look for a dry place to call their home and try to find some place to rest their bones while the angels and the devils fight to claim them for their own I'M A MINDLESS IDIOT (instrumental) THE WHISTLING SONG it's the shadow in the dark it's the silver in the park it's the broken, faded bird you've learned to call your heart it's not a border you can see just as plain as you or me i can't throw the lock back and i don't have the key it hovers in the living room just above the door it whistles while it hangs there feathers dripping from every pore they show the spectacle of falling and settle to the floor Meat Puppets Up On The Sun UP ON THE SUN a long time ago I turned to myself and said, "you are my daughter" I saw that the image I saw there was well, "so you are my daughter" well then we've got something to talk about who told you so? that gold burns slow like coal camper's candles all lost in the snow lay down you're on the warmth that I'm weaving is for you alone up on the sun where it never rains or snows there's an ocean with a wind that never blows and if you see it closer then the finer points will show not too much more too much more MAIDEN'S MILK (instrumental) AWAY below the road a dozen times now within the leeway behind the sandhouse the fascinating book of strings picks the leaves that drift down in between suns to lift up in between they told some stories like you've never seen just about everything slips down in between mine to lift up and to follow in the steps of fluids hollow without time we pick up all the streams to find the leaves that drift down in between ANIMAL KINGDOM down in the valley there's an animal kingdom you can't even see it till the sun goes down up in the mountains there's beautiful rings on fingers that dance to invisible sound up in my head there's an animal kingdom I am the king of the animals there up in the mountains (my head) I'm a beautiful singer to birds that dance on invisible air HOT PINK hot pink volcano in the heart of the tornado is shaking the lemonade tree hot pink forest is backed by a furnace that boils the lemonade free and it all went down tomorrow is a number hot pink apple with the sweet golden dimple has stuck its claim in me hot pink rubber comes in every color and every style that you please SWIMMING GROUND the sun is up and beating down hot enough to melt the ground a little water would do us good the clouds'd help us if they could they'd send showers of pouring rain get everything wet again we could go and float around in our favorite swimming ground the best place I ever found wasn't close to any town was a little swimming ground everything just floating around out to lunch and out of town pretty close to falling down a little water would do us good BUCKETHEAD got no head it's a bucket with teeth it likes to dream it likes to sleep it knows hot it knows cool it knows what's what it's no fool fill up the bucket with whatever you got make sure it's something that the bucket likes a lot fly on a window looking through its tiny bucket knows just what to do it goes over here it goes over there it takes its tiny bucket almost everywhere i'm a buckethead that's the truth what I do sure shines through and what goes in gets mixed around and overflows and makes this sound TOO REAL around here it's all the same I said it's all the same when drops of sunshine start to turn to rain I said it's all the same they don't know what to call it but they all say it's wrong well I don't see no greener pastures this must be where I belong ENCHANTED PORKFIST pistachios turn your fingers red row your way back home you know roll right into bed pick it
