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
(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
