Muddy Bones My baby Don't talk nasty about her You ain't even got no class I'm gonna kick your ass My baby Treats me like a maharajah Deceiving nothingness My baby brings me happiness Rushing on each sensation In all the gods' creations With the hysteria Of the condemned My baby Don't you even talk about her My baby's a bazillion times better than you. Better than you My baby Got mystical frenzy Tempered by an irony Verging on blasphemy I'm gonna see my baby Find out how she gettin' along In the twilight Of destiny's last days My baby She says my music's better It's much better than it sounds It's better than you It's better than... My baby Don't you even talk about her My baby brings me happiness Deceiving nothingness Better than you Better than you She's better than you Better than you Don't talk nasty about my baby Cause she's better than you Quit talking nasty Cause she's better than you.

Lonely So Long Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long I feel like a fragment Out here in the street Like I've been sleeping On the concrete I miss your soft skin And your kisses so sweet Laying in a feather bed, Safe and warm I can't get it out of my head, I'm out here instead Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long The back of a taxi Thought I saw you go by I called out your name, girl, And started to smile This is too deep even for tears, Don't wanna cry out here I loved you for seven years, I wanna come on home Tried to bum a cigarette Nobody smokes no more Down on Bleecker and Lafayette Girl I'm so sick Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (Don't you leave me lonely) Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (You know girl? It ain't even funny out on the street) Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (It's like everything living, everything living out here is deceased) So don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (Don't you leave me lonely) Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (Lonely, lonely, baby) Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long (Don't you leave me lonely) Don't leave me lonely, lonely so long
My World I was pretty vanquished when you came along I was only singing lonesome funeral songs Trying to find out, was there life after death? And if there really was, is this really it? You got to be my world You're beautiful So beautiful You got to be my world Yeah I was complete, a long long time ago Got all wasted, buried in the snow You're my reflection, one of the divine Careful what you give me, the other half is mine You got to be my world You're beautiful So beautiful You got to be my world Your eternal nature, lead me to the self If I don't check that dude out, I wouldn't know nothing else From entering the domain, feeling that delight Holding my position of what I know is right Cosmic energies of love, don't leave my ass behind Wisdom of the body, ravaged by the mind Live by wretched knowledge, far more than belief You may never steal, but you are a thief You got to be my world You're beautiful So beautiful You got to be my world So beautiful You's got to be my world It's got to be my world So beautiful
This Is Rediculous I ain't got no money Drive a busted dinosaur of a car If I didn't love my honey I woulda never ever woulda got this far I woulda stayed in bed, pulled the covers over my head And slept until there's no more war How did it come to this? This is ridiculous! This is getting too funky A man of my stature can't live like this When I talk about some money All I ever do is reminisce I guess it's too austere, I just wanna disappear And come back when the joint starts to swing How did it come to this? This is ridiculous! Won't pay a nickel on morphine Really I don't need that much help If I wanna jump out a window I can do it perfect all by myself Or I could stay in bed, pull the covers over my head And sleep until they find a cure How did it come to this? This is ridiculous! Ridiculous! Can't make a dime with these mother-jumpers. Ridiculous!
Temptation To Exist Temptation to exist Give me another kiss Tell me how you love me A mesmerizing kiss That I can't resist Say I'm the way you want me So I can breathe your perfume Dancing with you around the room Long after a masquerade Stripped of facade and costume The drag with being born It's really not a thorn Baby it's a dagger Most people would deny Say it's a piece of pie To you it doesn't matter I hear about the sad affairs Up on the heights of despair Someone's always perishing By the self they have assumed Temptation to exist Obsession to persist Death-defying romance Give me another kiss Show me what I've missed Baby, since our last dance So I can get back in tune Dancing with you around the room Long after a masquerade No facade, no costume
Making Rain Hate how the myth of separation Really cast a spell on me Never missing one occasion Of the infinite varieties of agony Passin' down our borrowed anguish Blasted joys and jubilant despair Leave us crying out here to languish Poor outcast, it's too much to bear Creating rain Making rain It's always raining here Sometimes I need a little shove, yeah Remind me of my providence Learn to bear the beams of love, yeah Mending my conflict with circumstance Making rain, making rain It's always raining here Heart's in pain, crying in the rain Here comes that rain again Exacerbation's, excruciations That's the tears of things Exacerbation's, excruciations Well, that's the tears of things Waiting in a railway station In some godforsaken neighborhood It's as if my blood was dreaming And resolved itself into melody Making rain, here comes the rain Hearts in pain, it's always raining here Creating rain, here comes the train Making rain, it's always raining here Yeah, making rain, making rain It's always raining here Making rain, yeah rain It's always raining here Yeah rain, yeah rain Yeah rain, yeah rain Rain Here comes that rain again...
Drowning I swam out too far from the shore Afraid you won't see me anymore Out in the middle of a rolling sea With the waves and the water washing over me Mama! Don't let me down I love you more than I did before So don't let me drown I'm drowning in this sea of love Can't see the land or the sky above Hurry up, baby, get a hold of me 'Fore the devil in this water set my soul free Mama! Don't let me drown If I still mean anything to you Don't let me down Mama! I'm drowning I'm not waving hello I ain't clowning around wit'cha, baby Don't let me go If you see me lost and drifting around Reach out for me, don't let me pull you down It's over my head, mama, don't let me drown It's getting so quiet I can't hear a... MAMA! Don't let me drown You swim so much better than me Don't let me drown Yeah, mama! Don't let me drown Yeah, mama! Mama! Don't let me drown...
