The Big Machine
03:13

i live in the belly of a big machine
made out of wire and steel
it spits fire and sweats electricity
the machine has built itself
from many pieces
it found down at the bottom of history
i live in the belly of a big machine
made out of wire and steel
and it stretches
from the mountains to the sea
it's busy all the time
fractious and unkind
it doesn't need much sleep
needs gasoline to breathe
grows animals to eat
but when it sleeps
it looks so peaceful

If you don't like It
02:33

if you don’t like it
destroy it
if you can’t use it
burn it
if it’s making you sick
get rid of it
and if you hate it
kick it
if it’s getting you down
smash it
if you don’t want it
don’t take it

Monkey in The Mirror
03:46

i can’t deny
the monkey in the mirror
the more I try
the more it’s getting weirder
when I pick my nose
when I shave my face
when i scratch my back
jump all over the place
when I see myself
on a monitor screen
I decline to believe it is me
face to face
with the monkey in the mirror
it’s a disgrace
and the monkey’s sneering at me
cause he knows exactly
what I want
bust the caps
all night long
with a bunch of monkeys
by my side
let him be
my guide
if I smash the mirror to pieces
will the monkey be released?

Voodoo Doll
02:04

i made myself a voodoo doll
i think i let it drop
from the bridge over the highway
I hope it does the job
I made myself a voodoo doll
and nailed it to a pole
fired my shotgun at it
and now it's full of holes
i took a long and rusty nail
and drove it through it's head
never take it personal
i wish you all the best
I made myself a voodoo doll
and as the train arrived
i put it on the railroad tracks
and turned away my eyes
i made myself a voodoo doll
and set the slut on fire
no problem we can still be friends
goodbye my love goodbye

She's an Alien
03:28
|
|||
|
I’ve got a woman
she is not human
comes from a planet
i don't know which one
she can read thoughts
and walk through walls
she's got green skin
she's an alien
and she drinks acid
and she eats plastic
has rubber bones
fully elastic
she crawls through keyholes
and wraps round street poles
every now and then
she's an alien
she's an alien, she's an alien
but i don't give a damn, she's an alien
she's an alien
from time to time
she dissapears
somewhere into
the cosmic sphere
in my mailbox
I found are moon rocks
that she sent
she's an alien
so here I’m sitting
on my suitcase
I’m getting ready
to leave for space
she will beam me
to her galaxy
that’s the plan
she's an alien

Alternate Ending
03:10
|
|||
|
good story but
the end is pointless
leaves the audience confused
critics were not impressed
test screening was a disaster
noone seemed to like it
better go back to shooting
get someone to rewrite it
an alternate ending
this time a happier one
where everything blends in
that's what i want
finally it comes down
like a house of cards
you pull the queen of hearts out
the whole thing falls apart
it's the saddest movie
i have ever seen
want to rip my seat out
throw it at the screen
an alternate ending
this time a happier one
where everything blends in
that's what i want
oh come on

Bunny
03:59
|
|||
|
she's a pet rabbit
she's a furry bunny
not a wild rabbit
got her hands on me
she's got a costume tail
hanging from her butt
isay I like that
and she's like: what??
she's unpredictable
a brain twister
but people call me
the rabbit whisperer
i wear a coat made out
of rabbit fur
she's like: you must be very poor
you can't tell
who's got the money
bunny
you can't tell
who's got the money
bunny
i'm not living
in a shed
got a treasure chest
under my bed
