BLUES METAL (Andrasko, Erstad, Kern)



I've been looking so long
I hope to find them in a song
'Cause I don't know where they'd be
Seems like they're avoiding me
I've been looking so long

I can't find the blues
Not even on blue light special
Ain't got nothin' to lose
But I guess I got the metals, yeah

Someone tell me where they are
'Cause I don't think they could be that far
'Cause I've been searching all around
It appears they won't be found
Someone tell me where they are

I can't find the blues
Not even on blue light special
Ain't got nothin' to lose
But I guess I got the metals, yeah

Looks like they are gone and out
But I'll take one last look about
Think I've got them in my sight
Very soon they will be mine
And I think I've found them now... wait a minute

I can't find the blues
Not even a tad
I've searched long and hard
But I got the greens real bad


CHANCES (Andrasko)



So much for luck we did not take our chances
You turned me on with your secret glances
And I lost myself in you
I lost myself in you

And I'm falling fast
Why can't we admit there's something in this?
It's where it's at
People die just to live this
Searching for a reason that will last

Today I died and it was so amazing
To finally see I've never not been crazy
But I left my hands in you
I left my hands in you

And I won't look back
Now that I can see there's nothing in this
Will it last?
People die just to see this
Searching for a feeling that will last
And I'm falling fast
Wishing there was something in this
It's where it's at
People die just to be this
Searching for a reason that will last
And I won't look back
Now that I can see there's nothing in this
Will it last?
People die just to find this
Searching for a season that will last

COLLEGIATE DISCOVERY(Andrasko, Black, Erstad, Kern)



Nate plays harmonica
He's in our band
Nate likes the wizard
Nate likes to jam
He's into physics
Unsure about spam
Keanu is his bitch you know
That means Nate's the man
Nate plays harmonica
We know he can
Chicks make him excitable but
Don't feed him spam

We saw him play the other day
We fell into a state of shock
We gave him time and he made up his mind
Now it's clear that we're going to the top
And what we'll meet up there
I guess we will not know
The only thing that's clear is texan thugs in idaho

Nate plays harmonica
We are his fans
Might play it just for fun but
Not for the glam
He can do many things much
Much better than
A dead fish in the dirt and I'll
I'll say it again
Nate plays harmonica
He's in our band
He'll play it in this song
That is our plan

We saw him play the other day
We fell into a state of shock
We gave him time and he made up his mind
Now it's clear that we're going to the top
And what we'll meet up there
I guess we will not know
The only thing that's clear is Texan thugs in Idaho

We saw him play the other day
We fell into a state of shock
We gave him time and he made up his mind
Now it's clear that we're going to the top
And what we'll meet up there
I guess we will not know
The only thing that's clear is Nixon shrugs says I don't know


CONFUSION (Andrasko, Black, Erstad)



I'm fishing in the desert
Everything is biting
I don't know what's going on
I think I hooked a big one
Hope that I can land him
He's been dead for quite some time

Take my wit divide by two
It may be that my brain was used
In deep confusion I drown today
That punk salesman's bound to pay

I'm streaking through the arctic
On my eyes and elbows
What'll happen if I sneeze
I better shed some layers
I think my brain is frozen
Blaa blaa blaa blaa ...uh duh?

Take my wit divide by two
It may be that my brain was used
In deep confusion I drown today
That punk salesman's bound to pay

I'm screaming in a coma
Everyone can hear me
Everyone except myself
I was yelling so loud
People were affected
A bunch of them have now gone blind

Take my wit divide by two
It may be that my brain was used
In deep confusion I drown today
That punk salesman's bound to pay

I'm bathing in an ashtray
Now, that it's been loaded
I hope it gets my laundry clean
It's time to flush the toilet
Now that my mind's in it
I don't need it anyway

Take my wit divide by two
It may be that my brain was used
In deep confusion I drown today
That punk salesman's bound to pay


DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY (Andrasko)



I met a girl just the other day
So beautiful in every way
When she kissed me, I was in trouble from the start
Now that she's gone away
I know what I wanna say
I don't think she knows she left with my heart

She gave me something
I had never had before
Little taste of paradise
The night love came knocking down my door

Well she don't like me and
She don't love me and
She don't need me and
She don't want me and
She ain't thinking or dreaming 'bout me
She won't even talk to me, yeah

Please don't leave me this way
Now that you've turned me inside out
All I really want is just to know what it's all about

About another year goes by
Thought I'd give love another try
With the girl with the most beautiful smile in the world
So I asked her to share a book
Thinkin' I was laying some kind of hook
And she said it was cool if I'd come hang out

Then all I wanted
Was just to alk to her
She's all I can think about
Everything else was just a blur

I got the balls to go to her place
Conversation topics written in place
I didn't think this would be the end
Then I met her old high school boyfriend

Please don't leave me this way
Now that you've turned me inside out
All I really want is just to know what it's all about
Please don't leave me this way
Now that you've spit out my chewed up heart
Please don't leave me this way
Now I was blinded from the start
Oh lord, what has she done to me?

Fell in love with a freshman girl
To give his gam one last final whirl
Wouldn't you know it sh's the first one that I can talk to
I'd kill just to see her smile
Cuz it makes everything worthwhile
Lord help me, she's taken control of my mind

Her accusations
That I'm just another ladies man
She doesn't know how I feel inside when I make her laugh

Things went sour one early morning
When she ditched me without a warning
She kissed me later with the kiss of death
When she said "let's just be friends"

Please don't leave me this way
Now that you've turned me inside out
All I really want is just to know what it's all about
Please don't leave me this way
Now that you've spit out my chewed up heart
Please don't leave me this way now that you've torn my world apart
Oh lord what do they do to me?


DORMITERIA (Andrasko, Erstad, Evans)



And now I'm wondering what to do
I just ate in the dorms and now I'm blue
My quest for sustenance brought no such luck
'Cause now I'm keeled over and I'm spewing chunks

Chili nachos, Louisiana chicken
Them mashed potatoes ain't too finger lickin'
Lemon pepper cod, aged and uncooked carrots
Swiss steak that tastes just like moldy ferrets
Them pasties are so nasty ass dry
Seventh stage of chicken makes me wanna break down and cry
Captain crunch you're my only friend

And now I'm wondering just how long
'Til my card gets swiped and my appetite's gone
I see the food display I know there's something worng
'Cause damn that sausage looks like Alan's grandpa's schlong

Chili nachos, Louisiana chicken
Them mashed potatoes ain't too finger lickin'
Lemon pepper cod, aged and uncooked carrots
Swiss steak that tastes just like moldy ferrets
Them pasties are so nasty ass dry
Seventh stage of chicken makes me wanna break down and cry
Captain crunch you're my only friend

And now I'm wondering what to think
The cafe's so close, don't give me gas that stinks
It may not be cheap or mass produced
But I can me a pizza, eating there ain't stomach abuse

Chili nachos, Louisiana chicken
Them mashed potatoes ain't too finger lickin'
Lemon pepper cod, aged and uncooked carrots
Swiss steak that tastes just like moldy ferrets
Them pasties are so nasty ass dry
Seventh stage of chicken makes me wanna break down and cry
Captain crunch you're my only friend

And now I'm knowing the differences
The 'teria' ending only deteriorates it


EVERYTHING IS EMPTY (Andrasko)



Fall down This heart the oppression cannot hide
Cannot hide

Tear it down
Can't find the meaning
They feed the lies and they divide
Oh they divide

Cornered now am I so seethrough
Knowing now I should've never left you

Everything
Everything is empty without you

We crumble on the inside
This pain is all we ever find
Ever find

I'll be the one to point you
This is the fight that will not die
Will never die

Nail it now this life so fleeting
Some wounds never would stop bleeding

Everything
Everything is empty without you

Without you
I am nothing
I am nothing
Without you

And I won't stop
No I won't stop
Won't stop looking
Til I find you

Cut me now my mind's still seething
All this time so damn deceiving

Everything
Everything is empty without you




GET A WAY (Andrasko)



Call in head shots for the blind
Be the first to step in line
Let them tear a piece from you
Resistance is the only fight
But they will have their way in time
There is but one thing you can do

Get a way

For me for you
Hold me like you wanted to
Do not let the moment fade
I see the doubt in your eyes
Feel the depth of your disguise
When there's nothing left to say

Get a way


HERMAPHRODITE SONG (Andrasko)



I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
Damn that shit would be so tight

Vagina and penis, both in one
Doesn't it look like so much fun
Look at all the people stare
When I take off my underwear

I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
Play with myself all damn night

Heading out to the colony
Where I can be with others like me
We all got a kooch, we all got a pole
And we can all pee from two different holes

I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
Play with myself all damn night

Since I wasn't born this way
I'm gonna go see the doc today
And when he puts me under the knife
Then I will be a hermaphrodite

I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
I wish I was a hermaphrodite
Play with myself all damn night


HOW COME (Kern)



Had a dream that you were here
You were saying you were gonna stay
Now I know it's not fair
Those aren't the words that ever said
And I'm thinking that we're never gonna be
Any more than you and me
And I'm thinking that we're never gonna be happy

And how come every time I say I'll love you forever
That's when you turn and walk away
And you're the type of girl who said you'd never say never
That's when you ain't got much to say

And how come every time I say I'll love you forever
That's when you turn and walk away
And you're the type of girl who said you'd never say never
That's when you ain't got much to say

Had a dream that you were here
You were saying you were gonna stay
Now I know it's not fair
Those aren't the words that ever said
And I'm thinking that we're never gonna be
Any more than you and me
And I'm thinking that we're never gonna be happy


IN MY SIGHT IN YOUR MIND (Erstad, Kern)



Everything about you I can see in your eyes
Looking straight into them lets me read your mind
Everything about you everything all the time
When we are together I can do just fine

What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways
What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways

Messing with emotions makes me like a boy
Shuffle things around and I will find a void
I could make it bigger you would be destroyed
I don't need to do that to my special toy

What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways
What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways

You're in my sight
I'm in your mind
You're in my sight
I'm in your mind

Wandering around your mind is where I play
Tell you my commands and them you will obey
The more I stick around the more you are my slave
That could do you harm and so I cannot stay

What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways
What's behind your eyes today
Will you change your ways


LONG WAY THROUGH (Andrasko, Erstad, Evans)



Places I'll never live to see running through my mind
People I'll never live to meet in this daily grind
Things that I'll never get to do
How can you carry so much regret with you

Why don't you come along with me
Out to old Idaho
Things we'll see and never do
No time for the long way through
Fields of green and skies so blue
No regrets for the long way through
Pass it up, skipped right by
Now it's almost time to die
Almost time to die

Lost in a sea of anonymity
We all drown before we get the chance to see
Sink or swim it's all up to you
Find the one thing that you're driven to do

Why don't you come along with me
Out to old Idaho
Things we'll see and never do
No time for the long way through
Fields of green and skies so blue
No regrets for the long way through
Pass it up, skipped right by
Now it's almost time to die
Almost time to die

Shifting into high gear
Let's get out of here
We will have no fear
We will have no fear

Places I'll never live to see running through my mind
People I'll never live to meet in this daily grind
Things that I'll never get to do
How can you carry so much regret with you

Why don't you come along with me
Out to old Idaho
Things we'll see and never do
No time for the long way through
Fields of green and skies so blue
No regrets for the long way through
Pass it up, skipped right by
Now it's almost time to die
Almost time to die

MECHANISM (Andrasko)



Feeling my head pulled under by the weight of you
In their lives love is gone have we come unglued
Empty inside like a jilted lover
The nothing that hides in a would be mother
Try to frustrate me evermore
You can't sedate me anymore

I don't want to go no you don't want to know
I don't want to go no you don't want to know
I don't want to go no you don't want to know
Pour me out
You can't get me

Sitting on the porch drinking t.v. nothing left to do
In their eyes a million lies are misconstrued
Boiling inside like an angry trucker
Blood on my hands like a guilty mother
Fitting the pieces of this life
You can't escape me this time

I don't want to go no you don't want to know
I don't want to go no you don't want to know
I don't want to go no you don't want to know
Pour me out now
Can't control me

CHORUS
It's all out now
Come and get me

CHORUS
Faking the drama evermore
You can't sedate me anymore


MY OWN GHOST (Erstad)



Every day and every night it haunts
It won't leave me be it's always along
Sometimes when it's there I feel detached
Then I don't know just how to react

I'm the specter that you think's an infector
I'm the vision of an apparition
I'm the phantom in the dreams when you've had 'em
I'm the ghost you're with the most

It must be real, I know it can't be me
But it's a ghost that no one else can see
And then all at once all of my trust
Smashes to ashes and rusts to dust

I'm the specter that you think's an infector
I'm the vision of an apparition
I'm the phantom in the dreams when you've had 'em
I'm the ghost you're with the most

I can see the reason why it ends
Time after time again and again
The two of us it seems as though we've mixed
Am I alive or do I just exist

I'm the specter that you think's an infector
I'm the vision of an apparition
I'm the phantom in the dreams when you've had 'em
I'm the ghost you're with the most

Now I see what my life would've turned out to be
Is it true did my life forego my youth
Every day the will to live feels stripped away
So I'll host the rest of life as my own ghost


MY SHADOW (Kern)



What's this say about tomorrow?
What's this say about the past?
Are these day filled with sorrow?
Are these days made to last?

Well, I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be

My shadow
My shadow
My shadow
My shadow

Well, fortunes fade and emipres rust yeah
Watch our love turn to dust now
Suicide or LSD
Won't ever turn against me
Can't ever turn against me

My shadow
My shadow
My shadow
My shadow

Well, I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be
Oh my shadow stay here with me
And I thought you'd be

My shadow
My shadow
My shadow
My shadow

What's this say about tomorrow?
What's this say about the past?
Are these day filled with sorrow?
Are these days made to last?


PAYMENT FOR PUNISHMENT (Erstad)



You decide you're going out for a night on the town
You're going with your friends 'cause they wanna get down
The club's got you thinking it's the cool place to be
Before you know it you've engaged in misery

You buy your ticket
Payment for punishment
You're in the spotlight
Here comes embarassment
Make a fool of yourself
Your final judgment
Get what you pay for
It was a payment for punishment

You've got yourself all ready and the show must now go on
Your date is at your door and you're going to the prom
You always had been told this would be a special night
But as it turned out it was nothing that you liked

You buy your ticket
Payment for punishment
You're in the spotlight
Here comes embarassment
Make a fool of yourself
Your final judgment
Get what you pay for
It was a payment for punishment

You buy your ticket
You're in the spotlight
Make a fool of yourself
Get what you pay for

You want a lively night and you're trying something new
You'll try swing dancing just to see if it's for you
Testing your luck, swing batter swing
Now you've struck out and the enjoyment is missing

You buy your ticket
Payment for punishment
You're in the spotlight
Here comes embarassment
Make a fool of yourself
Your final judgment
Get what you pay for
It was a payment for punishment


ROAD FROM RUIN (Black, Erstad, Kern)



Forward now, down we go
Depths we'll see but never know
Chains that bind down below
Sinking deeper

Aching back, twisted spine
Whips and scars they mold my mind
Danger near you can't see
It surrounds me

One day I'll get away
I'll rid my face from this savage place
The day will come when I'll be free
And that's the day that I will flee

Light so dim, throat so dry
can't recall the open sky
Hurts to think, hurts to breathe
My hope leaves me

No escape, no way out
Those who've tried are strewn about
No respite, no relief
Just what death brings

One day I'll get away
I'll rid my face from this savage place
The day will come when I'll be free
And that's the day that I will flee

One day I'll get away
I'll rid my face from this savage place
The day will come when I'll be free
And that's the day that I will flee
One day I'll get away
I'll rid my face from this savage place
The time is now for me to flee
Today's the day that I'll be free

SAY NOTHING (Andrasko)


lies inside the halls of leaders
feed the flames of our corruption
buying an agenda so self serving
blinding the people's eyes
why can't they see?

oh you selfish you
your lies have come unglued
when the space between your lips

say nothing

throw the hate, the filth on nothing
you cannot hide your empty pride
if you have never tasted dirt
then by all means
be the first to fling the stone
why aren't you listening?

oh you selfish you
your lies have come unglued
when the space between your lips

say nothing

corruption is everywhere
but we pass by it unaware
don't touch me I am here
give me all but I don't care

oh you selfish you

SHE'S THE GIRL (Andrasko)


Well there's a girl that I try to avoid
I think she's stalking me but I'm paranoid
I say stupid things just to try to annoy her
Cuz try as I might I can't seem to avoid her
Saying whoa whoa whoa whoa

She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
yeah
She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
yeah

She's always there whenever I log in
I can always tell that she wants a flogging
I'm starting to wish that I'd never met her
Attractiveness yeah she's kind of a heffer
Saying whoa whoa whoa whoa

She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
yeah
She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
yeah

I know that it was wrong
I shouldn't have led her on
Now I don't know what to say
To make her go away
Saying whoa whoa whoa whoa

Well the party's over it's about 3:30
Shots of rum are making me feel dirty
One thing always leads to another
Now we're gettin' pretty freaky under the covers

Now she's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with
She's the girl I wish I hadn't made out with...
Again..

SHIT AND LOBSTER (???)



Once there was a time when mankind
Dreamed about reading the stars
Nowadays we're almost ready
Even for the wars
Some told lies and they were famous
Cause of making many wars
One told right, they were punished
With pain and crucify

What is right and what is wrong
Can I prevent, can I be strong
Quick enough to run away
Or brave enough for here to stay

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all

Some get shit and some get lobster
Take my ass into the sun
It takes some time to realize
We cannot eat a gun
The fat gets fatter, the poor stays poor
The money maker sells the skin
But you don't ask and you don't see
The world you're living in

Got my fears and got my doubts
Tell me what it's all about
Should I try a step
Or should I stay and wait another day

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all


SUMMER OF THE SHARK (Andrasko)



Do you remember?
The summer we fell in love
It was the summer of the shark
And you were running through the park
You slipped and fell into the mud
I was the one who helped you up
we talked for hours into the night
And everything just felt so right...

But then you turned psycho
Not the one that I know
Constantly suspicious
And suddenly vicious
Your constant pretentions
And prissy conventions
I guess I'm not faultless
I did grab your mom's ass
The fiascos, arguments
Drove out all of my friends
Well I'm sorry baby
But that was the end

I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing to do with you now

When I broke up with you
You just tried to argue
You kicked me on target
Though I kinda liked it
You told all of my friends
About all of my problems
But you couldn't not see me
On Tuesday next week
But us back together
Is imagination
Cuz I will not suffer
Your manipulations

I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing to do with you now

I used to thing that we were the bomb
Did you have to send naked pictures of us
To my mom?

I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing to do with you
No more matching clothes
No more midnight Oh's
No more me and you
Baby we are through
I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing
I want nothing to do with you now
