with my walkman on
sirens faded but it won't be long till i
wonder where the wonder in the world has gone
all wrong
he hates the local punks
his baby gets his gun
i'm only 21 and i'm
dying in the sun
hoo hoo
everyone's a criminal
your daddy's on the news
hoo hoo
you wanna be a criminal too
don't you?
hoo hoo
everyone's a criminal
just ask the boys in blue
boo hoo
what's a boy to do
when the cops are robbers, too?
i sorta swoon
saw the city in a little room with a pretty view
when god walks in with a clipboard and a pen:
i'm in an interview
"sez here on your resume
you were shot in the park today
by a killer who could barely aim
and he looked a lot like you!"

lighten up. listen up.
say what i already know!
too slow
i'm cool, how're you?
ha!
i'm stoned
think i need a break from yr cigarette handshake,
thumbin' off the afterglow
and you'll fellate the clock too late
if there's some time to blow
take away my shoes, my eyes, my own free will
bleed into the crowd below my windowsill.
take away my shoes, my eyes, my own free will
bleed it to the crowd below my windowsill.
pull out, before you shout,
"do it like we talked about"
okay
i just wanna live that way
tell me what i really want
i don't think i like that
too bad
but i'd do anything to make you stay

feel the pressure in yr pulse tonite
you kiss my lungs
i'll play you records on the phone tonight while you get drunk
all in all i wanna show
everyone i've ever known,
"you remember that ghost of mine? well,
she jumps my bones"
hey, snow white
i've got a thing for u tonite
in your room
i find myself crawling under you
i feel the pressure of the world so bad i break my drums
you're the best i ever had!
and i've had all of 'em
on and on, i wanna show everyone i wanna know
in the back of a taxi cab
we barely spoke
if you wanna go down
in history
go down
on me

is that you? driving nails into my feet again?
what a lucky man!
run, run run, run, run
with a blindfold on (OR, "with the buffalo")
is that me? selling love for free across the street again?
you're as sweet as sin
run, run, run, run, run
just so i can stand in line
run, run, run, run, run with a blindfold on.

candace, candace: cat eyes with jaundice
waves a giant foam middle finger at justice.
alice, she's an artist.
paints with her bleeding heart, now she's heartless
candy car with an edible motor
dead in the water
she's a floater
over your shoulder,
there goes your strawberry cigar!
bouncing down the highway like a shooting star
thanks for the surprise.
timebomb in my car.
wendy, wendy: she's so trendy
you can call me up anytime if you're friendly
jenny, tears o' plenty
she shakes her head till her ears are empty
can we pull over?
strawberry cigar
bouncing down the highway like a smashed guitar
i don't wanna die
timebomb in my car
