1.Little Faces
In the dawn
When my toes are cold
They spread their little trinkets on the ground
In the hall
By the closet door
They creep into my bed without a sound
By the cube
In a plastic egg
A hundred fabric figures in a pile
See them march
Toward me in a line
And dance across the floor in single file
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
Tiny doors
For walking though
While sticky fingers clutch forbidden things
And the phone
For talking through
They often pull the cable when it rings
Sinking ships
On a foamy sea
That roll and tumble slowly from the motion of their filthy
little hands
Their little hands
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
In the dark
When their eyes are wide
They listen to the secrets that I tell
In a ball
On their tiny beds
Or beneath them where the shadow people dwell
And the moon
Beams that split the night
Leave bars of yellow pasted on their faces
As they drift into a dream
In a dream
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
2.Oz Is Ever Floating
Oz is alway floating
ever drifting sometimes doting
over things that mean the world to Dr. John C. Lilly
In the tank he's grooving
ever sifting sometime smoothing
out the things that mean the world to Dr. John C. Lilly
Are you still floating Dr. John C. Lilly
Drifting as the time goes by
across the inner cosmos he is flying
Are you still floating Dr. John C. Lilly
His tank is isolating
in his mind he is elevating
all the things that mean the world to
Dr. John C. Lilly
Are you still floating Dr. John C. Lilly
In the liquid he will lie
rehearsing for the final act of dying
Oz is ever floating
Dr. John C. Lilly

4.Shadow Of A Man
Billy came back from Vietnam
Just a shadow of a man
He was a shadow of a man
When he came back from Vietnam
He was spraying that Agent Orange
On the foliage of the land
Out of 80 gallon cans
Way back in Vietnam
Billy came back from Vietnam
Just a shadow of a man
He was a shadow of a man
When he came back from Vietnam
He married him up a women that he liked to call Diane
Though her true name was Mai-Pan
She changed her name to Mrs. Graham
After two still born babies
Billy said I am just a portion of the man
I was before I went to Nam
Now he drinks and snorts amphetamine
Just as often as he can
He's a shadow of a man
Spent his time in Vietnam
Billy came back from Vietnam
Just a shadow of a man
He was a shadow of a man
When he came back from Vietnam
5.Radon Balloon
From an island, to the Tetons,
To the day that came before
Drifting is a simple thing to do
To dance across the treetops
With reflections in a spoon
In black and white or color
A step towards the creators
On the surface of the moon
Radon Balloon
In dreams he flies in a tiny raft in a broken sky
Radon Balloon
Saw the sun in a chase to be with the chosen one
Radon Balloon
Swung through town on a piece of twine
Radon Balloon
Disappeared a thousand times
Radon Balloon
6.Army's On Ecstasy
The Army's on ecstasy
so they say
I read all about it
in USAToday
They stepped up urine testing
to make it go away
'cause it's hard to kill the enemy
on ol' MDMA
Said the King of contradiction
to the Queen of mystery
the Prince of paradox,
he dogs me like a flea
so I'll set my troops upon him
and bring him to his knees
When all is said and done
I'll pick a fight with the Chinese
The Queen she stared at him long and hard
and then she softly said
I'll rub you down with linseed oil to ease your throbbing head
She slipped a note in an apricot
and threw it to the whores
The jester read the words
something wicked this way roars
The Army's on ecstasy
so they say
I read all about it
in USAToday
They stepped up urine testing
to make it go away
'cause it's hard to kill the enemy
on ol' MDMA
The price they put upon the heads
of folks with poignant views
Would be better spent on the children
without shoes
And when the King condoned
the actions of the liar
He forgot to weight the awesom power
of the village crier
The Army's on ecstasy
so they say
I read all about it
in USAToday
They stepped up urine testing
to make it go away
'cause it's hard to kill the enemy
on ol' MDMA
The Army's on ecstasy
so they say
I read all about it
in USAToday
[in Japanese：
The Army's on ecstasy
so they say
I read all about it
in USAToday
They stepped up urine testing
to make it go away
'cause it's hard to kill the enemy
on ol' MDMA]
7.Rubberneck Lions
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Double barrel under the pillow under my head
You don't wake a man when he's trying to be dead
Cause of the Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
I bought a cactus from a miser named Fred
I choose to live on water and bread
Cause of the Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Well I'm cold and lonely but I'll come around
Black clouds hanging over shady ground
Full moon risin' up above my head
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
I never listen to a word you said
Never mess with man when he's trying to be dead
Well I'm old and I'm homely but would you come around？
Ears to deaf to hear a sound
Aaron looked to Moses for his daily bread
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
Three strips of beacon on my toasted head
Two over easy on a roll and I'm fed
Rubberneck lions as I lie in bed
8.Polka Dot Rose
He always liked to paint with his sunglasses on
Cause acrylics tend to burn on his eyes
And nothing brought him closer to the canvas
Then the warmth of Eleanor's thighs
He never had much of a devious nature
But was hardly a modern day saint
If you asked the little boy what he'd be when he grew up
Said I'd rather be a fireman then paint
Keep on painting
She always liked to dance with no shoes on
Cause the gravel felt good on her toes
And Mr. Merriweather left his wife and his kids
In search of a polka dot rose
They never thought much of his mongrelesque stature
Or the scent that could make a buzzard faint
If you asked the little boy what he'd be when he grew up
He'd say
Keep on painting
9.Birthday Boys
Gina knows what it's like to be
On the other side of midnight
Gina's eyes are sensitive
To the brighter side of daylight
She knows what it's like to be
The topic of conversation
While birthday boys are wallowing
In ichors of adulation
I don't mind
If you stand around and look at me tonight
I quite like it
Guys like us are blind
To the dirt that gathers in between
The toes of moderation
Gina knows
You can come around but don't you talk to me
I'm not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
But don't you talk to me
You can come around but don't you talk to me
I'm not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
But don't you talk to me
I don't mind
If you come around and drink up all my wine
Won't be the first time
Sometimes I find
Little treasures hidden deep within my drawers
Gina knows
You can come around but don't you talk to me
I'm not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
But don't you talk to me
You can come around but don't you talk to me
I'm not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
But don't you talk to me
You can come around but don't you talk to me
Gina knows, what it like to be
I'm not in the mood for conversation
You can come around
But don't you talk to me
Gina knows, what it is to find...
10.Wield The Spade
Barber
Get this mirror cleaned
I'm troubled by the face I see before me
As we shave our nations face
Keep a steady hand
Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land
Wield the Spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made
There are many fools who dare propose imposing limits on my
power
Those ungrateful who've been swayed by intellectuals in their
ivory towers
They will pay for crimes that God and I will not allow
Some before the firing squad and some behind the plough
Wield the spade
Barber
Get this mirror cleaned
I'm troubled by the face I see before me
Be careful not to miss a whisker
Soon I face my people who adore me
As you shave our nations face
Keep a steady hand
Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land
Wield the spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made
Barber
You've done very well
Much cleaner now
The mirror's telling no lies
I know I'm not imagining the telltale glint of death I see in
your eyes
I can't trust you
So I must do something with my knife
It's a shame to lose a damn good barber
But that's life
Wield the spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made
11.Pseudo Suicide
Gasoline Vaseline
Benzene Amphetamine
All the chemicals in between
There ain't no cure for suicide
Knew a man he went to jail
His momma couldn't raise his bail
Found him dangling in his cell
There ain't no cure for suicide
She was quite a dainty thing
He held her with a diamond ring
She never did have her final fling
Cause there ain't no cure for suicide
Bitch'in here
Bitch'in there
Bitch'in damn near everywhere
There ain't no cure for suicide (x2)
Buttered toast
Greasy roast
You all remember Danny most
Use to hit us coast to coast
Cause there ain't no cure for suicide
With a pain that thrives inside my neck
And lately I say what the heck
Gotta pry myself up off the deck
Cause there ain't no cure for suicide
I really can't remember when
It didn't flow right from the pen
When it don't I'll carpenter again
Cause there ain't no cure for suicide
Once upon a greasy day
I had an opportune to play
Flanked by ol' Stew and Trey
Cause there ain't no cure for suicide
Seven seconds after I dissolve into the fiery gates of hell
Locked up in a plastic tube where Sandsio lay frozen when he
fell
Pseudo Suicide
He awoke to find that he was tumbling like the bills of buffalo
Pallid in a backwards way of living was the quickest way to go
Pseudo Suicide
12.The Grand Pecking Order
In the Grand Pecking Order
Where is it you stand
Under foot of swollen bastards
Or on the neck of another man
At the grand feeding table
Are you sitting near the head
Or the corner by the bathroom
Where you're asked to pass the bread
And you pass it with a smile on your face
For to pout about would only bring disgrace
To the Grand Pecking Order
In the grand pecking order
Where is it you lie
Are you the tall hog at the trough
Or a piglet in the stye
On the grand ladder of life
Are you near the highest rung
Or somewhere near bottom
With your nose in hairy bung
And you sniff it with a smile on your face
For to pout about would only bring disgrace
To the Grand Pecking Order
And you're dancing with a smile on your face
For to stand about would only bring disgrace!
To the Grand Pecking Order
13.Owner Of The World
He use to own the world
He use to be the one
Like hundred hungry dogs in heat
On cinnabar and rum
Ground and sift and washed it
Dried it in the sun
But his heart just wouldn't buy it
And his feet began to run
He use to be the Owner of the World
Now he's just another man
Who use to be the Owner of the World
Down an empty highway
Pass sycamores and oaks
Then stop for seven hours
The things he made us do
The owner of the world
Liked always taking more
Standing on the beach
Or walking out the door
He use to be the Owner of the World
Now he's just another man
Who use to be the Owner of the World
