The Agony Of Laffitte (bonus track)
. . .


Catacomb be my security
count it off be my big sister
i walked forty-six blocks
you've been putting it off but come on
i got meat in my arms
i got steel in my teeth so come on
making out taking out
it's utilitarian
heartache adulate
the utilitarian
oh yeah we're in love with this perverted world so come on
when i walk down the steps i’m just halfway across the world

. . .


I wanna settle this bet and i don't want your shoulder instead
the minor tough's walking past again
a pure extension yeah
reach in your pocket and pull out the pantleg of hate
the hardcore will tell me not to say so
but now keora where'd your sadness go
you know i would go try and get through to you
if you weren't down at the back room
they're standing up the block and down the street
and they'll be out all night
as i’m out in the car it comes to me
they're breaking up inside

. . .


reach for a drink when you're in cola land
it may be just what you need but it's never enough and now
we're sending out but it's never enough
it's just the last time you'll get the truth in
i’m on the guestlist / the execution

. . .


He couldn't answer my reservations
he couldn't answer and i
one little answer
a cheap little answer
would have meant so much i
some kind of response now
some cheap little answer would have meant it to me
and she's never been the places she oughtta
but that doesn't stop her being around
and she's never been the places that she oughtta
she's just a miner's daughter
she's been around but she's never made it and
she's been around but she's never one to give you reservations
she's so realized yet uncalculated all the time

. . .


It's unelectrical a bad sharing one
it's on american radio and dedicated c'mon!
So c'mon
action takes a back seat to abstraction
works you up and takes out the piss
this action could finally put out in our 30 gallon tank
going down on the century

. . .


car radio
that's what I got
voice of authotiry
from here into empire state
car radio car
wash fooling around
just a minor on the interstate
car radio
all acting tough
I'm just a user
I don't make any of this stuff.


. . .


Metal detektor ringing as i’m walking through the door
with every chance i take i can feel it start to break
to start to break some more
it's going down some more
i’m gonna break the bank of texas and walk out
it's a lie no more
all through with playing the wall
i’m gonna break the bank of dakota and walk right back out
it's going down some more
not gonna fake it no more
just gonna break the bank of texas and walk right out and
make the sound of getting kicked when you're down
i’m gonna break the heart of chicago and walk right back out
metal detektor ringing as i walk on through the door
metal detektor ringing as i’m walking through the door

. . .


Distracted by each career milestone
though they're all in his hands
he set up his best ones for weeks
and the questions all get answered before they're asked him
tells you sit right back
he's talking through his teeth
and i don't believe the things he'll say but
i’ll call him up and give him flack
and it's sad but true the sounds that don't come back
and i can see him tap producer fix his lines
and that makes me feel like a rat
i feel like a rat
so i’d like you to set it straight now on this one
all fixed up now for june’s foreign spell
all sad 'bout it now june’s bitter soil again
oh no can't take this another year
drop two steps back and take the place of who that came before now

. . .


I never thought you'd go so far chloroform
i never thought you'd go so far oh no
she's out cold now
i’m so alone now
take that back please stephanie black
and don't be so torn by chloroform

. . .


I packed all my things in a nylon bag
i kept my eyes open wide
and got out the day the stock went black
what was so alluring's now faded
and just stylistic and jaded
but i’m just glad to get outta there for metal school
if i could take back what we both assumed
would you spin it back to me on the lazy sue?
We could exist to be where we found it
and just wrap our fingers around it
that's why i’m gonna give it all up
put all that back and enroll in metal school

. . .


What you knew of me was all sad and deformed
operator i'm baked and i'm
boy you better take a look in that box because
sitting on them couches
sitting on them floors
well it's better that that's done and now you're gone
and the one with you the first
is the one you feel the worst about
that's why i'm out in central station and i'm staring at the board
i'm staring at the board at central station one more time

. . .


Go knock em dead ok kid
i’m not a man, least not yet
i’m not a man just a pillar of salt on the ground
tell us your name that's what they say
i ain't got a name just a current address and i said
know what you know i never thought a kiss could be so cold
so now the pissoff's taking hold
and you can tell they're all looking at you
feel so inert it starts to hurt
so that's your name and i tell myself
don't say that you're coming back 'cause no you're not
don't say that you're pleased to meet them no you're not
you're going back 'cause no you're not

. . .


Molly said she oughtta leave you in the ground
when they see you hanging down from on the ceiling
i’ve got a feeling
that there's no one if you could speak would believe you
i-n-t-h-e-g-r-o-u-n-d ground

. . .


Getting caught's made me think it over
and it told me that you're never coming back here again
we've been doing things the same way for so long
that it took me aback
and i don't think i’ll ever hear that sad song again
don't tell me i’ve lost you
advance cassette
i just can't believe it
no don't say that i’ve lost you
advance cassette
i just can't believe it
you'll know by the look on their faces when they pass you
you've been dropped off on the texas highway
i’ve been out here now for so long that i’m not sure
how you wound me so tight
i’m afraid i won't ever hear that sad song again
so don't tell me i’ve lost you
advance cassette oh no
i just can't believe in it
no don't say that i’ve lost you
advance cassette
i just can't believe it

. . .


Back in that model evironment
For taking shots in the knees
For planning out your retirement in your thirties
There is no way back from this one but
Oughta wake up and see
And you know its the best it could be

Oh no, I want to know
Are you honest with anyone?
Oh tell me, don't tell yourself
Are you ever honest with anyone?

The aftermath, the promotion
It's time to take the trash out
And redefining what you are
Redefining what you're about
You can't explain the attraction when
Everything gets so far away
Using class to abstraction
Do it everyday

Now all I,I want to know
Are you ever honest with anyone?
All that I, I want to know
Are you honest with anyone?
No no

The aftermath, the promotion
It's time to take the trash out
And redefining what you are
Redefining what you're about
But an expression is anything
You can reduce to a form
Can still make you feel so wiped out
For long

Oh no no, c'mon tell me now
Are you honest with anyone?
All that I, I want to know
Are you ever honest with anyone?
And I say, no no
Are you honest with anyone?
How does it feel to go home
And not be honest with anyone?
