She's in the City
down in a valley
sits a pretty girl
she's in the city
working in a building downtown
where the street people
make a living
learning how they should treat people
yeah it's a crazy place
so grab a line
from the New York Times
i've got your cure for boredom
it's right here in this store
i'm dancing in the alley
as you're choking on your chicken bones
up on a hillside
sits a mansion
surrounded by a rose garden
and an interstate
that's opperating slowly
it seems to hesitate
every time i want to go
every time i want to go
it's like a dream
or a horror scene
call me in the morning
i'll be on the rope
i'm dancing in the doorway
wishing i had never spoken
I've Got to Get You Home
i've got to get you home
far away from them
i've got to let you know
what you mean to me
i've got to get you home
far away from them
i've got to lay you on the floor
yeah i'll show you
i'll come walk down the sidewalk
and i'll check you out
i will look straight at you
you know you can't
do without
you opened up my tearbox
my eyes used to be dry
you opened up my tearbox
now how can you look
at these wet eyes
i've got to get you home
far away from them
i've got to lay you on the floor
yeah i'll show you
Sitting in the Wind
tonight
i'm tangled up with fireflies
they're bouncing around your smile
like white lies
and this cigarette that burns
it means the tables turn for two
who?
me and you
and these rocking chairs
they rock because that's what they do
and my life is dangled like these
christmas lights for you
as this story goes untold
we're all melting moments away
from all these feelings
that we share between us everyday
there we go
just sitting in the wind
trying to shed this ugly skin
a hint of blue
hides behind the hills that we walk thru
it's time to turn our heads
and look the other way
yes one day
we'll all become nuclear waste
lining this crust
with all of our radiant ash dust
filling the files
of the species who comes after us
as they drink themselves to lonliness
there we go
just sitting in the wind
trying to shed this ugly skin
Wishing Well
wishing away
down at my wishing well
well she's not here
she's over there
moving about
i'm counting mobile phones
they're all around
all over town
catching a ride
you know my car it's done
we'll it's no fun
i've got no patience
and in this ear
i've got a megaphone
it sounds like this
cccrrrrrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrh
it get's me upset
The End of Mexico
call out your name
with great anticipation
i'm feeling your blood
like a band-aid that's placing
pressure on points
of your body and wasting
space on your skin
like the booze that we're drinking
pabst in a can
and you know what i'm thinking
we should be rich
but i hate the way that i sing
it makes me afraid
so i dread every morning
because i do it everyday
we can throw away these numbers
and disconnect the world
hang on to ideas like emotion
every now and then
we'll swim out to sea
yes you and me
we'll write our own lives
Here Comes the Snow
this day's disease
begins with trees
that freeze from head to toe
with frozen rain
that we call snow
we eat in pain
and we think of saints
we rescue dogs with rope
yes we rescue dogs with rope
here comes the snow
plan B
is a mystery to me
a world of noise thru electricity
yes a world of noise
thru electricity
i'm outside
where the faces hide
they fly through molten cores
to sunny shores
here comes the snow
with water tanks
the fish say thanks
for making sense
of water fences
thanks for making sense
of water fences
together lost
and forever skewed
a page that's written
but read by few
and lost forever
here comes the snow
I've Got a Fever
i can't get you
off my mind tonight, baby
don't take my hand
and push me out the door
no one has heard
of you before anyway
i might confess
your cigarettes
they're still at my door
don't kiss me tonight
i've got a fever
pushing 200 degrees
in your direction baby
and it's overwhelming
to be me sometimes
it's overwhelming to see something
something a little bit like you
take me on tonight baby
take me on tonight
take me on baby
take me on tonight
do that thing with your eyebrows
just right
The Slow Song
the statement's been made
because the bills are unpaid
now the uniformed man
takes my money
he's laughing out loud
because his face is too small
and on a wall
there's a table that's tumbling
you can't blame
the people in the steeples
all week
the treasure's all gone
because the maps were right on
now there's 87 people still digging
and the walls came down
because the cannons were sound
and underneath there's a mexican bleeding
you can't blame
the people in the steeples
all week
because there is a man in the rain
he get's his ideas from the streets
a walk in the park is all we need |

HEY TB!
HEY mystery!
you've got me feeling small
you're standing 10 feet tall
next to me
HEY TB!
you've got your head on straight
you're inspiration is getting to me
LOVE is free!
so give me all you've got
ready or not
i'm here to receive
ONE two three!
you better pucker up girl
you're standing way too close
to me
when we go spinning ‘round
i really like the sound
i like the way you walk with me
Mow Your Yard
so i'll sit in this emotionless ocean
watch it grow on the wall like a vine
if i ever have a younger addition
will they grow up so dumb and shy
like me to sit and lose all ambition
it floats away on a tv screen
we've got what we need from you
a broken chair, and a wooden stool
i'm feeling scared
i'm feeling tired
i've lost my shoe
and my hand's on fire
bulbs spring glistening
flowers bloom
but we'll still see the clouds somehow
a buzz maybe it's a bee
holy shit no it's sattelite activity
she stands aloud and breathes in clouds
wishing for the sun today to shine
and bring her hair up to a glow
like it does in the summertime
oh when the day that the birds would play
on the front porch and in the yard
jog hard
wash your cars
the grass is tall
so make sure to mow your yard
dream big and reel it in
go to work
wake up and do it all again
we don't need to eat
we just need to sleep
if we can move our feet
then we can beat the heat
Privacy
i've got my blinds closed
you can't see in my room
but your trying hard though
i'm closed off from the world
that includes you
that's why you can't see
in my window
construction workers
on the street
wondering what's
happening inside
here
don't fret baby
that was just me inside
i don't have anything
anything to hide
i'll bring what you want
and i'll bring it to you outside
i'll bring what you want out
if you want it outside
in a house
where i live
right now
the sun is out
uh huh, uh huh
stand up
believe
in what
makes you
believe
in life
Hula Girl
i've got a hula girl
she's gonna dance for me
she sits on top of a speaker
that sits on top of a tv
reminds me of christmas
two years ago
we looked for sun
we didn't look for snow
i've got a hula girl
she's gonna play that ukulele
she's gonna turn me on
as long as she's got batteries
reminds me of christmas
two years ago
we looked for sun
we didn't look for snow
all the people
they turned japanese
they didn't have a hula girl
no, they weren't cool like me
i've got a hula girl
she's gonna sing for me
she says aloha
and it sounds real lovely
reminds me of christmas
two years ago
we looked for sun
we didn't look for snow
Japanese Head
i'm heading out
to the Baltic Sea
i know you're happy
but you ain't happy like me
alright
up to the islands
to do a little business
i know you're wondering
just who's story is this
alright
i've got a japanese head
i've got time for myself
no time to feed the children
we call it chicken
while the danish call it kyling
uh huh, alright
i've got a japanese head

Love Wheel
lyrics by Daniel Johnston
from the album 'Fun'
Super Twister!!!
super twister!
take me away!
take me to somewhere else
pick up the good things
leave the rest
leave the rest!
super twister!
take me away!
super twister don't make me stay
don't make me stay!
some things dissapear
other things stay
who really cares
we'll see one day
but for now
but for now!
let us go
let us go!
straight to the eye of the storm!
TORNADO!
TORNADO!
TORNADO!
