Born Thirsty 03:22
Born Thirsty (RJ Bloke) good time alcohol sits on this side of the mirror i love it all that's why i come here i know how to crawl from one swinging door to the other it's in season if it's on the wall oh my poor mother it's got a power over me a power over me i was born thirsty i was born thirsty i was born thirsty 'til i'm in that hearse please immerse me i was born thirsty i'v been given the talk it rattled around and out the other ear so you can all put a sock in it oh no i've got the disease again the midnight choir sings i'm in my sin and i know i shall be removed before my finest hour by this power over me power over me i was born thirsty i was born thirsty i was born thirsty 'til i'm in that hearse please immerse me i was born thirsty

Where Are You Now (RJ Bloke) catalogued all your pictures gathered all your pretty things on a train to security cold and dark elixir i mixed you in the sink it had an insane effect on me where are you now where are you now you better run run run run run when i heard the tale i dove into the drink and sustained an injury broken hearted mixer a killing joke on the brink now it's gonna rain profanity where are you now where are you now you better run run run run run this cracked dam is held back by three fingers and a lie assess damage keep track don't cry it's gonna rain profanity where are you now don't run away don't run away don't run

I Feel Found 03:24
I Feel Found (RJ Bloke) as we lay upon the floor astronaut sailors caught in a metaphor wrap your life line arms around i feel found there's no hurt in the desert sky at night shooting stars are flirting with satellites in a place where troubles drown i feel found don't want to hear you saying what's the use going on and on and on curse the devil when you cry there's another level of try in you we're gonna raise our youngins in the underground off the grid on the edge of town cause in the name of God they're still cutting everybody down technology is killing love we are still in love don't want to hear you saying what's the use going on and on and on curse the devil when you cry there's another level of try in you as we lay upon the floor some more astronaut sailors caught in a metaphor wrap your life line arms around i feel found

All You Need Is Enough (RJ Bloke) hey iron man all my vision is x-ray there's cold fusion in my mind we're just paying our dues this time oh no, voice like a megaphone man there's a ringing in your ear there's a place far away from here you can go where all you need is enough you don't have to wait forever this world is tethered to your heart your every deed is love now we have control over the weather we know the truth now don't we hey iron man where's captain beefheart out searching for his street sign waiting for the yo-yo to unwind blow my mind right through the telephone man children singing without fear all embracing the right hemisphere of their brain where all they need is enough they don't have to wait forever this world is tethered to your heart your every deed is love now we have control over the weather we know the truth now iron man

Hold Drugs Dear (RJ Bloke) if you're all head or you're all heart swallow Pfizer til you're equal parts it's pulchritude that charts can't turn the volume down thought balloons that float like dreams in the dirty water over New Orleans you think more movie screens will turn this world around now we're prettier and we don't cry one of the top ten reasons why nobody gets their own supply we sell cars here and we hold drugs dear from a frozen sleep reviled composing themes which pied pipe your child Walter winked and smiled at the rodent and the hound terramoto 8.6 los cucarachas politics all those too broke to fix are thrown overboard to drown now we're prettier and we don't cry one of the top ten reasons why nobody gets their own supply we sell cars here and we hold drugs dear carnivore this is your brain high on dinosaur remains these things and more will entertain you when you're down bloated suits in senate seats though i am dead upon my feet i will not retreat into the safe and sound where we're prettier and we don't cry one of the top ten reasons why nobody gets their own supply we sell cars here and we hold drugs dear

Coast Is Clear (RJ Bloke) i'm aware of Chinese politics secret handshakes on career day the warfare of high-tech stones and sticks while we're walking along down here on the Eastside with the evidence so far away bigotry, industrial accidents radioactive werewolves of Chernobyl how we defend against the kindness of a stranger while we're walking along down here on the Eastside with the evidence so far away i just wan't to change your fear of clear and present danger clear and present danger home home on the range the coast is clear of present danger the coast is clear the pusillanimous crowd hangs around you like a cloud blocking out the sun blocking out the sun with a rule book and a gun right now everything is ok while we're walking along down here on the Eastside with the evidence so far away i just want to change your fear of clear and present danger clear and present danger home home on the range the coast is clear of present danger the coast is clear

A Sailor's Mind (RJ Bloke) there's nothing besides what the wallpaper hides you can't buy you can't steal good foresight i saw the harm in a stick figured girl that is why i can't feel my legs tonight ten dollar words in a sailor's mind fill me up with beer and liquor i'm in love with a stick figured girl you can't buy you can't steal good foresight that is why i can't feel my legs tonight
