"Devil's Haircut" Odelay 1996
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis Stealing kisses from the leperous faces
Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees Mouthwash jukebox gasoline Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets
Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Love machines on the sympathy crutches Discount orgies on the dropout buses Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses Coming to town with the brief case blues
Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading Ghetto-blastin' disintegrating Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm sayin' And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting
Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut! In my mind! Devil's haircut! In my mind! Devil's haircut! In my mind!

"Peaches & Cream" Midnite Vultures 1999
Don't tell your right hand baby What your left hand do You know those road check girls Will make your brown breath blue
Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Such a dangerous dream Peaches and Cream….
You look good in that sweater And that aluminum crutch I'm gonna let you down easy I've got a delicate touch
Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Come on girl it's a dream
You're a torn out page From a best selling book Your home girl's on the line But your daddy's off the hook Where do we go now?
Give those pious soldiers Another lollipop Cause we're on the good ship Menage et tois Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Such a delicate thing
Keep your lamplight trimmed and burning

"Sexx Laws" Midnite Vultures 1999
can't you hear those cavalry drums? hijacking your equilibrium midnight hags in the mausoleum where the pixilated doctors moan
carnivores in the Kowloon night breathin' freon by the candlelight coquettes bitch-slap you so polite 'til you thank them for the tea and sympathy
I wanna defy the logic of all sex laws let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home I'm a full-grown man but I'm not afraid to cry
Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine perfumed blokes on the Ginza line runnin' buck wild like a concubine whose mother never held her hand
brief encounters in Mercedes Benz wearin' hepatitis contact lens bed and breakfast getaway weekends with Sports Illustrated moms
I wanna defy the logic of all sex laws let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home I'm a full-grown man but I'm not afraid to cry

"Jack-Ass" Odelay 1996
I been drifting along in the same stale shoes Loose ends tying a noose in the back of my mind If you thought that you were making your way To where the puzzles and pagans lay I'll put it together: It's a strange invitation
When I wake up someone will sweep up my lazy bones And we will rise in the cool of the evening I remember the way that you smiled When the gravity shackles were wild And something is vacant when I think it's all beginning
I been drifting along in the same stale shoes Loose ends tying the noose in the back of my mind If you thought that you were making your way To where the puzzles and pagans lay I'll put it together: It's a strange invitation

"Beautiful Way" Midnite Vultures 1999
Searchlights on the skyline Just looking for a friend Who's gonna love my baby When she's gone around the bend Egyptian bells are ringing When it's her birthday Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you There's a hurricane blowing your way Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart There's someone calling your name It's driving you insane
You were wearing that stained raincoat And your umbrella was a tangled mess You were washed up on the glittering shoals Looking for another crime to confess You bribed yourself Out of a place in the sun But you had some change to spare So you said you wanna spend it on me And shook the blues out of your hair
Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart There's someone calling your name You're gonna miss that train
