Boyfriend 04:43
I am not a man I am just a boyfriend Walking hand in hand Otherwise I can't stand Up for myself Or anybody else I don't wanna talk about it Keep it to myself (x3) I am not a man I am just a boyfriend I'm your biggest fan And if you need a transplant I'd give my heart Liver and my lungs Cerebellum, spinal cord My trachea, my tongue (x3) In the attic once again 'Cause every creature needs a friend And there's still some I haven't met 'Cause every creature needs a pet I am not a man I am just a boyfriend Everything I am Has now become a problem Life in the swell It's a loving, living hell I don't wanna fight about it Keep it to myself (x6)

You wanna cause me loads of pain You wanna eat my soul and brains Let me tell you now what I believe You wanna wear my heart on your sleeve I wanna be your voodoo doll I wanna get you up against the wall I wanna see you on Saturday I wanna see you in the very worst way (One day we'll) Never have to wait again Never running late again While there is only so much I can do Baby, I would burn the world for you You wanna be my valentine You wanna make me scream and shine You wanna be my antidote And the design on the blade that opens my throat You wanna take me out sometime I'll hold your place in the checkout line You wanna talk about philosophy While we watch static on TV (One day we'll) Never have to wait again Never running late again While there is only so much I can do Baby, I would burn the world for you

Would you tell me if I was a ghost? Would you tell me? Would you tell me? Would you tell me? I wanna know Would you tell me by letter or by phone? Or would you tell it to me As you were looking through me? Put another movie in Let's start another show Would you tell me if I was a ghost? Would you tell me? Would you tell me? Would you tell me? I wanna know Would you chauffeur me down to the West Coast? And break it nice and easy If only you could see me If only you could see me I wanna know Would you show me the way to my headstone? In the reanimated cemetery Where my father will prepare me Carry on, my friend It's time I headed home I got family up there, I'm not scared No, I No, I No, I know I ain't fucking scared Okay, maybe just a little

I, I like sleeping Upside down I am the king of sleep And the pillow is my crown I, I like sleeping Next to you But most of all I like Sleeping Sleeping alone I, I like dreaming Of UFO's I like shaving my head When it's 11 below I, I like sleeping Next to you But most of all I like Sleeping Sleeping alone
5.
I want to eat your brains I want to gain your knowledge I want to eat your brains So I don't have to pay for college I want to carry on I want to carry over I want to swim inside A sea of cinnamon and soda I want to fucking dance So play my fucking song I am the reason why We cannot all just get along I want to meet your friends I want to fucking party I am already dead But I just wanna be somebody I wanna bury some Ideas in your garden I need a shovel and a sandwich So I went and bought 'em I've been to Minnesota Dried up in Oklahoma You want a cigarette? Nah, I'll just have an orange cream soda
6.
I took my time You took me home I went back out So I could roam I broke your heart Also my own And now I'm old And all alone I wasted money You saved me some I spent it all On dope and rum You called me sick I called me dumb I called your name You called me scum I went to church The other day I saw you there You looked away The song is over No more chords are left to play I sat in silence And I watched you pray I wasted money You saved me some I spent it all On crack and rum You called me sick I called me dumb I called your name You called me scum Aw, fuck it

I always leave the water running When I brush my teeth The earth is gonna dry up And it's all because of me There's tires in the river And there's needles in the sea I jumped in with two eyeballs And I left the beach with three Left with three (x3) My brother's digging trenches In the California sun My sister's at McDonald's And my cousin's running guns My father's unemployable My mother works all day My step-mom is a genius Working for the CIA CIA (x3) If I go to bed early I'll die young Evil in the scrambled eggs Evil in your head Evil in the cotton In the sheets upon your bed Evil in the people you see At the corner store Evil in the sandwich That you ate the night before Give me more (x3) Evil in the sun's embrace Evil in the shade Evil in the money That you have and have not made Evil in the voices living In your telephone You trace the call and find out It came from inside your home Evil bones (x3) If I go to bed early I'll die young But if I never go to bed And if that means I'll never rest Then maybe I can stretch the time And trick my mind And stay alive For quite some time to come

Strange Son 05:09
I want to know the secrets That you're taking to your grave I want to know the reason Why you came around here I would like to be the one To cook your meals And clean your guns I would like to be your son Soon You'll understand it by and by You want to know the reason Why I changed Son You'll see when you're as old as I The best things in your life Were always strange The last time that I saw you You were bursting into flames I thought I heard you calling out to me But I forgot my name So I didn't know, for sure In the dark, you look like someone else I used to know You look like how I feel Sundays In the melted moonlight as our bones begin to grow You know, you could have it all someday (Yes, we almost had it all) Soon You'll understand it by and by You want to know the reason Why I changed Son You'll see when you're as old as I The best things in your life Were always strange
