Alpha Desperation March
i'm coming in. try to stop me. push furniture in front of the door. it only gives me something to push against. in the full heat of the summer's day, you're telling me to go away. but you owe me eight-thousand dollars and i can use it i'm only getting stronger. you may have noticed. but a head full of memories propels me ever further and in the living room i don't see where you are, but the back door's locked, so you can't have gone far and eight-thousand dollars is a whole lot of money and i could use it. could be that it's my imagination, but i think i hear you now. so come out come out, wherever you are. olly-olly-olly-olly-olly-olly oxen free see i'm perfectly aware of where our love stands, but the plain fact is that you owe me eight grand if it helps to jog your memeory, i lent it to you on tuesday, when we were drinking. ha! ha-ha-ha-uh-uh-ha! uh-ha!....
Going To Monaco
spoken: ...the sargeant drop to the ground in the shadow of a low branch they heard a branch crack to the left then the sound of footsteps two of the renegades carrying firewood , a third with a rifle were walking towards them closer and closer the sea gobbles up the full sun and i look at you and i know you're the one the one i used to know something about and i try to say what it was, but the words won't come out and you ask me to hold you that's the devils' work. you show your palms and i see they're empty and i'd check them twice if you'd let me but you wouldn't do that now would you? i didn't think so. and you ask me to hold you that's the devils' work. we stand on the sand and we watch the world turn and we stand on the sand and we watch the water burn and we stand on the sand six inches from one another and the sands burn and blow and neither one of runs for cover and you ask me to hold you that's the devils' work. and you ask me to hold you that's the devils' work
Star Dusting
toward the end of our first year in las vegas you looked up from your little corner and i saw that your face was getting a little brighter and you asked me is it really getting warmer or is it just me and then you started mumbling unintelligibly so what are you saying anyway? i thought i heard bells ringing but then i remembered that i no longer knew what bells sounded like i thought maybe we'd strike up a conversation 'till bad luck cruised by on his ten-speed bike i got real cold and i grabbed my coat and i saw that the ringing was coming from your throat what are you saying anyway?
Teenage World
you bought me a rabbit to keep me company and i'm here in my car and the rabbit's here with me heading out highway one, respecting posted speed limits and i tried to figure this one out but i can't find any meaning and i'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures and i'm sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean i'm gonna take this rabbit into malibu and he'll chew on sour grass while i wolf down dexadrine dexadrine. the wind comes through the open window and i button my shirt and the rabbit's riding shotgun my teeth hurt you sent me a package marked "live animals inside" and the sun's coming up quickly above the rising tide and i'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures and i'm sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean i'm gonna take this rabbit into malibu and he'll chew on sour grass while i wolf down dexadrine dexadrine
Going To Santiago
big birds in the trees cars locked and i've lost my keys crashing sounds of the waterfall and a statue of jesus 200 feet tall 3000 miles from the north california and 3 little feet from falling off the earth and the shadow of a mountain should cast a shadow on a and the snow underfoot is soft and yeilding la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la look at those birds i'd say something about them but i've lost the words they're laughing and they're watching me and the radiator's boiling for no reason wild cattle crossing as it strikes their fancy and a handfule of money which does me no good and a pocketfull of medicine to amuse myself with a photograph of someone stapled to my shirt sleeve la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Sail On
sail on down the road 'bout a half a mile or so and i tried to make you stay, but now you're going it was plain to see that a small town boy like me just wasn't your cup of tea that was wishful thinking i gave you my heart and i tried to make you happy you gave me nothing in return you know it ain't so hard to say, 'would you please just go away?' you come to comfort me but i don't need your sympathy and the way you look at me, well it's condescending. i feel my stomach churn and didn't you ever learn not to tell someone something ifyou don't mean it i gave you my heart and i tried to make you happy you gave me nothing in return you know it ain't so hard to say, 'would you please just go away?' sail on. sail on. sail on
Black Molly
black mollies in the aquarium, darting back and forth as though an earthquake were certain and I, turned up the heater and I ripped off my shirt and I grabbed hold of my stereo and I threw it out the window you were in town again you'd come around again you were dragging me down again with you siamese fish flashing like sparklers it started to rain and the telephone rang a couple of times I put a bullet through its cold dead brain and I got out my photographs of you and I put bullets though all of them too you were in town again you'd come around again you were dragging me down again with you yeah

Alpha Double Negative: Going To Catalina
i hear you starting up again i seee you standing on the deck i hear your voice start to carry i see the veins throbbing in you neck and i know what you're saying and i know what you're saying it for but i'm not listening i'm not listening anymore and i see you come toward me i see the sun withdrew from the sky i hear your voice getting stronger and louder and i see a stranger in your eyes and i know what you're saying and i know what you're saying it for but i'm not listening i'm not listening anymore
Pure Intentions
you're a strong one, you're a lion you're brave, death defyin' you're in your car, crossing town. and i can feel you, coming down. you're so pretty, i could burst and i wonder, who's gonna talk first my muscles all shaking, and blood's turned to foam it's tuesday, and you're coming home. yeah!

Pure Love
hey, what's wrong with you? hey, what are you trying to do? 'cause if what you had in mind is what i think it is then it's not very kind and it won't be necessary it won't be necessary now it won't be necessary it won't be necessary now hey, what are you doing, my love? hey, didn't i just tell you that such a thing would be over and above what's called for in this case pull the ski mask away from your face it won't be necessary it won't be necessary now it won't be necessary it won't be necessary now it won't be necessary it won't be necessary now
Song For An Old Friend
the garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass there was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass the sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted i saw the condensation on your hand i could feel the glaciers melting and a warm, soft wind covered up everything on the day your love came screaming through me you had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you and seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you you smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay good old east rutherford three thousand miles away i felt the warm surge blast my mind coming in from behind on the day your love came screaming through me in the fresh light of day i felt something falling away on the day your love came screaming through me
Snow Song
what cars there are go by like snails and ice crystals shine on the staircase's handrails the quiet air is worth some discussion as the windows crack and the cold is crushing. they've shut down the roads to the coast. there's white streets as far as the eye can see and I'd just as soon make you disappear as look at you but I draw you close to me. how do you feel about that? how do you feel about that?

Short Song About The 10 Freeway
evening came on like a big red wing and the dying sun, split his colors on everything, and as the night came on, you burst into song and you scraped your car up against the guardrail and god is present in the sweeping gesture but the devil is in the details
