Miscreant

Floppenhausen-

I don’t know where you think you are
You leave your things strewn across the floor
I have tried to steer you in the right direction
Never will you listen and still you fall off course 

This is no Floppenhausen

Maybe with some discipline you might acclimate
Then again, you may have gone too far
When you learn the value of sacrifice
Then, my friend, you will belong

 

This is no Floppenhausen

Your antics have grown tiresome
I am weary from disbelief
The Fatherland mocks you because you are unclean
With every word you stimulate my angst

 

This is no Floppenhausen
 
Resigned Indignation-
You know these moments are so fleeting
So many things I wish to say
But I don't think it needs repeating
Just told to you in another way
 
Between a puppy and a pipe bomb
Lie the very keys to my soul
And with resigned indignation
I'll drink beer from a toilet bowl
 
Just to see it in your eyes one more time
Might not mean that much to me
Without a reason or a rhyme this time
Just might mean the world to me
 
Let it fall, let it turn, let it twist
As our bodies convulse as we sink to return
To eternal bliss...eternal bliss
 
Eternal Blissfulness (not breathing)
What planet am I on?
What's my name and who are you?
I am a drop and I have fallen off
 
Is my birthday of Thanksgiving?
By the gravy on my face
Whether done by yours or mine
It's up to us to have another taste
 
Your Boss is a Dick-
Getting sunburned by your smile
Try not to look your way
Your smiling face is a lie
It's not the same today
Deviance is your style
Keep it to yourself
No control of your life
You'd better get some help
 

Lie to his face...lie to his face

Lie to his face, you know it's all the same

When you think it over, you'll know

he'll find a way

 

Slip and fall in given time
You'll get yours then
Petty cares for a petty man
You've got no fucking friends
Dig a hole and hide your head
Don't want to see your face
Think about what you said
Do you have no shame?
 
Lie to his face...lie to his face 

Lie to his face, you know it's all the same

When you think it over, you'll know

he'll find a way

 

Vinaigrette-
I'll wait for you until my ass grows roots
and then ten minutes more
Contemplate until my head deflates
and still I wouldn't know
Still I wouldn't know...

With me can you let loose the plan?
Can you give up control?
The force of two is greater than one
Heart, mind, body, soul
Heart, mind, body, soul...

 
Take it as it comes to not be
Disappointed in it all
When expectation is no more
Hopelessness to set yourself free
 
Cannot push the flowers from underneath
You must let the garden grow
Feed the seeds, wait and watch
It must happen on its own
Happen on its own...
 
Only when I thought about it
did it come clear to me
All the days and all the ways that
lead to eternity
Lead to eternity...
 
Garfunkel Wig-
Dig deep in your head
between the corners and pillows
You know what it is you seek
your Garfunkel Wig
 
Put it on, sing the songs of your youth
Say old friend, how long has it been?
Li dee li, you know it feels right
Say old friend, it's good to see you again
 
Feel the slimming in your hips
Time to take an ego trip
Put it on when hangin' with your friends
No need to worry 'bout respect
 
The Nehru may not always fit
Time may cause some seams to split
Love to have the hair to quaff
Never will this wig come off
 
L.U.S. (Millbrae Hates Rock)-
I'll never say I'm sorry to the Millbrae cops
Never turn it down, the music never stops
The bass man's got no shoes and a hacking cough
Maybe havin' coffee with Denise and Paul
 
We were playin'.  You were sayin' somethin' 'bout a pregnant elephant
We were playin'.  You were sayin' somethin' 'bout a pregnant elephant
 
No need to change the subject, tied up in a knot
Professor Dave is in a maze until he got lost
The work day's almost through, Bone Daddy's throwin' darts
When will you draw me in?  Your pet rock's not that hard
 
It's not my fault, he's just misunderstood
It's not my fault, he's an artist from the 'hood
It's not my fault, ego's in the way
It's not my fault, now he has a place to stay
 
You know you may have loved us playin' at the Route
So did all the runaways at the Gilman, too
Try not to forget the days of fighting for the knife
Music, love and friendship, last me all my life
 
Everything (for Kim)-
I'll never miss (it)...forget the past
Cause I dreamed of this no matter how long it lasts
I hope to see it through cause now I know you're true
Believe in it...
 
And the day may be gone but the life will live on
Through the days of old age and our youth
Though the days of old age and our youth
 
Forever bliss, pry me loose from your hand
It's ridiculous, how lucky I am
I know I'll be with you cause now you know I'm true
Believe in it...
 
Miscreant-
Rock so hard, in disbelief, you think you're from Seattle
Rub so hard, you miscreant, you'll pull the genie right out of the bottle
And run so hard from me, you punk, I got my finger right on your throttle
Cry so hard, wish for your mom, you're gonna have to relearn to tottle
 
Sit so long all by yourself, your life don't seem so dire
Wait in line just to pass the time cause your herb don't got the wire
Play guitar all night and day someone come stole your fire
Pray out loud for Flavius to come and get you higher
 
Burned your friends so long ago, your life is filled with bridges
Walk upright 'most all the time and you still ain't got the digits
Laugh yourself on to the floor, gotta get yourself some stitches
Leave the room and everyone is filled with fits and twitches
