[ the megafauna undermined ]

1. more lovely than likely

just like the blind closing the blinds
all you sweet beginners shine
naked in payable hours
all you sweet unlucky flowers

your more lovely than likely
and we of the lower orders pray
for you nightly

raise the rates lower the dow
spike my energy price now...........


2. big oil hackery

quick-witted majorette
quarter-inch below diminutive so I bet
you were the type to try harder

the lesson of gravity is
the world can't deal without me
and my big oil hackery must be tolerated

the stuffed victory of sleep
the fragile beauty of a running fridge
what do you need for to fill your hearts larder

3. save my down for a sadder day

every night is a porn boom mostly I don't mind
so long as its like might materialize

save my down for a sadder day

according to their placard I'm safe from damnation
for the most part, by omission I know

4. tanning wrong

I could only marry a stranger
I let my fetishes show
I've got some good times to go
if you're into and I'm into it then we're into it

5. my family was welsh. I'm just tired

can't keep track of you nor the boredoms you pour through
can't keep track of you or as the kids say "I don't want to"

queen of empty days if I failed you in so many ways
why do you keep coming around?

can't keep track of you ethical letdowns have left me wired
can't keep track of you my family was welsh, I'm just tired

6. old skull, new mexico

cloudy day your drifting sunward
doesn't mean I have to follow you
new mexico to find an old skull
seems to me one more lateral move
so what's the use eight-year degree in ancient debris
but if you wanna'
tell me how we undermined the megafauna
even if it's a lie I'm a goner
when I hear you theorize

7.quarentine lifter

so the sun has failed to be your friend
still you get up to trust it again

quarentine lifter lend me your cane
I have tried on the muscles regained I will stand
you will stand much the same

so long to twisters and immigrant ticks
your ballerina settings and grim factor hits

8. hairtrigger recess apointment

you shouldn't go all the way too soon
and baby i should know look at me
I have grown well past you
squirreled away favors to be brought up
on a bad body day look at me
I have burned those favors through

well okay then I would pay them
if i had it

and I wouldn't care what it is your trying to match
to the color of your hair look at me
I have grown where you wouldn't dare

9. sincere as a windchime

take it as you will you have had your fill
and I'm holding your hair back again
don't you find it strange, because I sure find it strange
how you don't look forward to the new blessed day
elevator shame loosing track of names
I'm the candy cane you can lean on ..........

10. a better knowing (was had by all)
     

[end of side one]

11. finer supercathedrals

going to Jesus your going to seize this
opportunity to be the happiest one
that ex-man of yours has ever done

12. catch you next divorce

saw you letting your pants drop
at the church sponsered clothing swap
thought I'd recognized some of your tops

sad I missed you of course
I'll catch you next divorce

but there was strange smell there
fucked with my eyes i couldn't see right
thought I looked as though I'd been crying......

13. the lightning boy

your just a conquistador yourself
and I conquistador you too
smoking out the indigenous people for you have no use
save exploitation

she's good nighting the lightning boy
and then she'll be by

14. no threat of a good time

another day gotten through instead of away with
away with you
to the last of your fasteners may i be ambassador
of the 40 proof

our next ascent is hindered by
no threat of a good time

can't be you planned it this way
it don't mean you can't stay........

15. suckers of twiddled thumbs

suckers of twiddled thumbs lord mostly never does
my armband is your armband my now is your was
tragedy in small doses paint your darker horses
hey nice bomb Oppenheimer
my now is your was

16. the worst lessons from the wrong people

a helmet for goliath your dupeness is
sucking corporate ass then you want to kiss me now
but i don't want to kiss you now

take a shower and talk it out
let me near enough to see what your about
I take it back I want to kiss you

future environmental refuges
artificial famine and the millions flee
the icecaps melting like my heart when I see

you take a shower....

17. handstander in an age of backflips

handstands when backflips were the rage
todays the last day i will be her age
she's the bride I'm the acolyte
todays the last day i will feel alright
and so we glide...........

18. the complete history of england

good old charles the first admirer of spirit
'execution' he wouldn't hear of it give that man
500 pounds a year
lucky Captain Blood
pounding crowns flat enough to fit inside his robes
things are going to go
that way for me now......

19. Goodlie Oddthoughts journal of woe

Goodlie Oddthought holds her skin taught
one more pretty chapter to go
in her journal of woe
troubled and beeming angry screaming abrieviated 
so..........

20. hit me like the greatest car song
