People get excited People try to hide it People try to cut off your face I thought it was just a party Then they cut off your face They cut off my face

Andre Developer knocks your house down, Puts two in its place When I got that invitation, You shoulda seen my face I brought some wine and I brought some girl To that old house down the way Home tours every other week And those tourists love to pay There was laughter in the hilltops And chanting in the trees My love, she looked up at me Said "We're never gonna leave." I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar By your garden grave 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (etc.) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar By your garden grave I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar I'm in the cellar By your garden grave

Handrail 03:18
I was holding on a handrail... I'm coming home Scrape the rat glue with a crowbar... I'm coming home In the painting of the shotgun... I'm coming home Just a midwife Just a midwife... I'm coming home Holy Mother Holy Mother... I'm coming home
7.
Stay Alive 05:28
You can dance You can sing There's no-one watching You can do anything Just stay safe, 'til the storm breaks You can work Or get a job You can pay off your landlord You can pay off the mob No they can't evict all of us Stay alive Had a dream Had a fall I woke up, couldn't remember at all Pain was gone from the landing But this dream That we're in Has turned a dirty cheek And there's no option to pretend Don't run for the exits Stay alive Stay alive Synagogues, Parish halls There's a light inside That extends beyond the walls Keep the faith the winds can't erase There's a blaze on the cliff Though we can't feel its warmth, We can still see it If we try, we can make it thru the night Stay alive Stay alive Stay alive

America is big and I love her She sent me on a trip around the world When I got back from 'Nam, had a colostomy bag And it made things kinda weird With your mother God came to me, I was sleepin' Said to gather the pieces of His flesh So me and my science friends, we killed everyone we saw 'Cause we knew She had our hearts in Her keeping Red, white, and blue gas around me You can't imagine the smell So we went from house to house Setting fire to the kids With the loneliness of one Forgotten sentry

The Baptism 02:31
J-j-j-j-j-j-j-Jesus S-s-s-s-s-s-Salvation F-f-f-f-f-f-Forgiveness

I went to a party on the Sea of Galilee Everyone was naked, they were dancin' pure and free Then the wine ran out, and I got sad That this night was gonna end, Then a handsome stranger, with deep blue eyes Took me by the hand... Don't make out with Jesus Jesus gave me Gingivitis Don't make out with Jesus Jesus gave me Gingivitis Thank you, Son of God Always tried to stand up straight, always tried to do it right Never thought I'd be face-to-face With the Way, and the Truth, and the Light Well he was wearin' sandals, wearin' socks And his friends all smelled like fish But then the Heavens opened up, And He asked me to make a wish... Don't make out with Jesus Jesus gave me Gingivitis Don't make out with Jesus Jesus gave me Gingivitis Thank you, Son of God Ahh, thank you, Son of God Oh Thank You, Son of God

Remember November, Honey, where were you? Ugly-crying, drunk, baby, nothing to do Your heart was so tight, and your tongue was so loose Force-fed cracker was cookin' up your goose Militant RB's with the Foie Gras taste You felt it interior, you felt it in space 'Cause while you were dreaming of a better place Those Glam Folk Nazis were picking up the pace (You're singing-) Oooh, I never thought this could happen to me To me... everything happens to me Or a shadow of me You thought that the heart you had protected so long Would play at the bells, yeah, with its precious song But then a black shiver Along the weird river The cord it got cut, and the package was delivered They pew in your churches, they squad in your schools The soup in the ladle, the thread in the spools The underground party Where you're not invited Those Glam Folk Nazis are getting all excited (You're singing-) Oooh, I never thought this could happen to me To me... everything happens to me Or a shadow of me And you wake up in the morning With that angry red sun shining down You want to sing in the rodeo With no-one around With no-one around But it's all too hard :( You spend all your time with people kinda like you Except that night in jail, and those years in public school They were watchin' the TV Smellin' like pee-pee No hand sanitizer to keep away diseases The colonoscopy of your ethical strain Plenty good ideas, but no skin in the game You got an app for your dreams And an app for your shame Those Glam Folk Nazis got an app that isn't tame (You're singing-) Oooh, I never thought this could happen to me To me... everything happens to me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me Or a shadow of me (or a shadow)

I'm so sorry that your mama's in Hell Guess Atheism didn't work out too well for her Some people just get burned And I'm sorry your mama's in Hell She gave it her best, she gave it her all She never believed in Salvation or the Fall It's sad And I'm sure you feel real bad And I'm sorry your mama's in Hell Some people rise up, some people they stay Some people gonna dance on your mama's grave Ok Some people don't get saved I'm sorry your mama's in Hell There's gonna be a party at the end of the world And every ear will hearken to those trumpets of pearl I kid I'm sorry your mom's not invited (she's not invited) I'm sorry your mama's in Hell Just so sorry your mama's in Hell Baby, I'm so sorry your mama's in Hell
