Angry Ghost
Wait for darkness, daylight's so unkind and they can all see
how bad this pain you left is eating on me, evening is cool
and i might breathe in some peace, or even pray for release...
Went out lookin' but i didn't find, can't stay home because i'll lose my mind,
streets n boulevards full of born-to-wins, they're all on their cellies
so ya can't cut in, and here i sit, completely wrong, my clothes don't fit
and my hair's too long, here i sit watching flesh roll by
and i don't even wanna try, why?
You emptied the world, you emptied the world and undid the future,
you emptied the world, you said it's done, it's dull, it just doesn't suit
you emptied the world, while others walk arm in arm in their heavenly host
i walk alone, a cold cobblestone, forced to roam around,
an angry ghost.
Wake up yawning, wrap yrself in a few last shreds of dream,
still beats the morning, all them rings in yr cup
and that thing in the mirror is obscene, if i could just make it back
thru that door you might still be there, but i know you don't care
and i can't seem to get moving...
Went out lookin etc....
You emptied the world etc...angry ghost.
Okota yule,okota yule, okota yule, o cash canari so....
Wait for darkness, shall i la la wait for darkness,
shall i just take me home?
take me home.

The Very Drunken Ms. Ho
Another night alone, (s)he doesn't wanna know,
usually when it's over i just let it go, everybody's wrong,
everybody's right, all i really know is i don't wanna talk tonight.
I need a lot, i need a, i need a lot, i need a lot more love.
Gonna call a friend, gonna hit the bars, i know somewhere out there
i'll find my lucky star, and everybody's wrong so anybody's right,
all i really know is i just gotta fuck tonight.
I need a lot etc etc
So what, she's gone, just another day in th life, yawn, get off yr butt and soldier on,
ya got that empty heart to fill and all that time to kill between dusk and dawn,
so what if we're all just pawns in love's eternal game, just the same
you can live it large or play it lame and lay the blame on mother,
end up with a list of one-night lovers, somewhere doin them crimes,
in all that time spent shakin' that tent between th covers you'll discover
the perfect other, if not, darlin' you were never meant to be a lover,
that don't mean ya can't go get some have a little fun get done, hey,
after all, you ain't the only one, she aint th only one, he aint the only one,
no.

Nothing Personal

Hey, you there, yeah you, c'mon, talk to me
maybe we can share a few moments, nothing too serious,
maybe you n me, maybe you n me could turn out to be th right recipe
but if we're not i still guarantee you time well spent.
And all the rest is just some fucked up dup-dup-duppy ghost love stuff,
i don't believe that fairy tale no more...
Just the real shit, gimme the good shit, just the right fit, that's all.
And the leaves, yeah the leaves don't fall down for you,
if the birds fly away that's just what they do, if the world if the world
that we're rushing through crushes this little biz, that's just the way it is
the way it is, it's nothing personal.
What's yours like? Is yours like an angel who scorches you
till the daylight sings you lullabies to close yr weary eyes,
it's alright, it's all right there, it can still come true,
yo, starbright, but if it don't i still guarantee you time well spent.
And all the rest etc.... it's nothing personal.

Zephyr
How do you get in it so deep they can't find you
and take you back to jail, how do you lose yrself in a beat so sweet
it could melt this whole city, have you ever been up there with th cherubim?
Ya neverwin, ya never win till you let the four winds blow you
everywhere you wanna go, i'll show you how, i'll show you how
its easy, wow, yr gettin it now, breezy like a zephyr, ohohhh,
like a zephyr.
What about the shit they got to entrance you, and keep you at yr wheel
What about all the shit you were taught that ain't true, but it's ever so pretty,
i never want, i never want to put them ol' shackles on,
keep yr sacred Dow, c'mon along we gonna go find us a brand new thing
to get up and take wing, i'll show you how etc....
...like a zephyr.
Never gonna win the Powerball, the MegaMega Lotto, megalotto or be on Dancin' With the Stars, never gonna slam three or four Sidecars with a babe sittin' in a tie bar, there's a few more where they are but that ship sailed with my cigar, but i'm still up there floatin' in the blue, hopin' that the heaven's open, i got no problem copin'
it's just a few drops of rainfall and a l'il wind that's all ya gotta take what the moment allows, i'll show you how etc etc.... like a zephyr.

Shout It Out (Bitchbitchbitch)
they said we had a ten year window, but that was several years ago,
i'm a little worried dontcha know it seems we're movin' too slow.
take a look around yr gonna see lots of bullshit activity
but the way it reallly seems to me no big answers one big problem
and unless we find one right away, my god it's gonna get ugly
until we've finally got the guts to say, no more, no more
this time is the right one.
So shout it out shout it out bitch bitch bitch get louder louder
shout it out shout it out bitch bitch bitch get louder still
shout it out shout it out bitch get louder bitch get louder
it'll happen you know it will.
We never thought the thing would blow, just an endless party oh no no,
just dollar signs that climb to culo, tell me you love me whoa-ohh
kid time done it's time to grow up, ya drank too much so throw up
all the ghosts are depending on you to show up, yeah you are the show
but as long as we're in our separate cages and they keep us too dazzled to see the bars, they can drive this monkey van right off the highway,
we'll never know 'til it's too late where the fuck we are.
So shout it out etc ....
ok, Tahrir Sq., Tienanmin, all this Resist to Exist shit, for what?
every stinkin' movement peter's out, each bright moment gets crushed, i think we need a new angle, i think we gotta change the game, maybe the sky isn't the limit,
rich is nice, maybe too rich is wrong, maybe we need a WEALTH CAP, maybe that'll slow down the melt, but whatever we're gonna do, mthrfkr, we better do it soon.
Shout it out etc etc..
