NO CODE ALBUM LYRICS



SOMETIMES

Large fingers pushin' paint...

You're God and you got big hands...

The colors blend...

The challenges you give man...

Seek my part...devote myself...

My small self...like a book amongst the many on a shelf...

Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise

Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't

Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live

Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel

Sometimes I speak of nothing at all...

Sometimes I reach to myself, hear God...


HAIL, HAIL

Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?

Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?

I get the words, and then I get to thinkin'

But I don't want to think, I want to feel!

How do I feel? And how do I...

If you're the only one, well I'll never be enough, yeah...

Hail, hail, the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah...

A-how I love you till the day I die...ah, and beyond...

Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?

It's egg rollin' thick and heavy...all the past we carry...

Oh, I could be new...you underestimate me...

If you're the only one, well I'll never be enough, yeah...

Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah...

I sometimes realize...I could only be as good as you'll let me...

Are you woman enough to be my man? Bandaged hand in hand...

Yeah...

I find it on my run in a race that can't be won, yeah...

All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah...

If you're my only one...so good, you only one...

I want to be your one...enough, you won...your one...your hun...


WHO YOU ARE

Come to send, not condescend

Transcendental consequences to transcend...

Where we are...Who are we? Who we are...

Trampled moss on your souls...

Changes all, you're a part...

Seen it all, not at all...

Can't defend the command...

Take me a for a ride before we leave...

Circumstance, clappin' hands...

A-driving winds, happenstance...

Off the track, in the mud...

That's the moss in the aforementioned verse...

..miraculous...and a little...

Just a little time, before we leave...

Stoplight plays its part...

So I would say you've got a part...

What's your part? Who you are

You are who, who you are...


IN MY TREE

Up here in my tree, yeah...

Newspapers meant enough to me, yeah...no...

No more crowbars to my head, yeah...

I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah...

Wave to all my friends, yeah...

They don't seem to notice me, no...

All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh...

Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, yeah...yeah...

Up here so high I start to escape

Up here so high, the sky I scrape

I'm so high, I hold just one breath here within my chest

Just like innocence...

I remember him, yeah...

I swore I knew everything, oh yeah...

They say knowledge is a dream, yeah...

He's growing up just like me, yeah...

I'm so light, the wind he shakes

I'm so high, the sky I scrape, yeah...

I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest

Sleep with innocence...

Up here so high, the bars they break...

Up here so high, the sky I scrape...

Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse...

Of my innocence...got back my innocence...

Baby, got it...still got it...

SMILE

Don't it make you smile? (2x)

When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all...

Don't it make you smile?

Don't it make you smile?

Don't it make me smile? Yeah...

When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all...yeah...

Don't it make me smile?

I miss you already, yeah...I miss you always...

I miss you already, yeah...I miss you all day...

This is how I feel...

I...I miss you already, yeah...I miss you always...

The crooked heart swells all around, yeah...I miss you all day...

The crooked heart swells around, yeah...

Don't it make you smile? (2x)

The crooked heart swells around...


OFF HE GOES

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4...

Know a man...his face seemed pulled and tense...

Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds...

So I approach with tact...suggest that he should relax...

But he's always movin' much too fast...

Said he'll see me on the flipside

On this trip he's taken for a ride

He's been takin' too much on...

There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes

There he goes...

He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture...

It doesn't look the same up on the racks...

We go way back...

I wonder 'bout his insides...

It's like his thoughts are too big for his size...

He's been taken...where, I don't know?

Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope...

There he goes...

And now I rub my eyes...for he has returned...

Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

For he still smiles...and he's still strong...

Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown...

And now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did...

My same old, same old friend...

Until a quarter-to-ten...

I saw the strain creep in...

He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next...

Before his first step...he is off again...

HABIT

See it happen to a couple of friends

See it happen and the message it sends

Taking off for what's an obvious fall

Just to see what all the fuss is about

It's not your way...not your way...

It's not your way...yeah...

Another habit, sentence him up with you

Another habit, says he's long overdue

Another habit like an unwanted friend

I'm so happy with my righteous self...

It's not your way...not your way...

It's not your way...

Never thought you'd habit... (3x)

I never thought you, never thought you...

Never thought you'd habit... (3x)

I never thought you, never, never thought you...

Never thought you'd habit... (6x)

Speaking as a child of the nineties...

Never thought you'd habit... (3x)

I never thought you, never thought you...

Never thought you'd habit... (3x)

I never thought you, never, never thought you...

Never...never me...never you...never me...

RED MOSQUITO

Watched from the window with a red mosquito...

I was not allowed to leave the room...

I saw the sun go down, and now it's comin' up...

Somewhere in the time between...

I was bitten...must have been the devil...

He was just payin' me...

A little visit, a-reminding me of his presence...

Lettin' me know...he's a-waitin' for me...

Red man's your neighbor, call it behavior...

While you're climbing up slippery hills...

Two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck...

Hoverin' just above your bed... (2x)

I was bitten...must have been the devil...

He was just paying me...

A little visit, reminding me of his presence...

And lettin' me know...he's a-waitin'...he's a-waitin'...

Up there...yeah...

If I had known then what I now know... (4x)

LUKIN

Drive down the street, can't find the keys to my own fucking home

I take a walk so I can curse my ass for being dumb

I make a right after the arches, stinking grease and bone

Stop at the supermarket, people stare like I'm a dog

I've been goin' to Lukin's...I gotta spot that Lukin's...

I knocked the door at Lukin's...opened the fridge...

Now I know life is worth...

I find the key, but I return to find an open door

So fucking freezin', they jump out the car, everybody wants some

I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's work's never done

The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun

PRESENT TENSE

Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

Leaning out to catch the sun's rays...a lesson to be applied...

Are you gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh...

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who can forgive yourself, oh yeah...

Makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

Have you ideas on how this life ends?

Checked your hands and studied the lines?

Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?

Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder

To find an approach and a way to live...

Are we gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh...

Or you can come to terms and realize...

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh...

A-makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

MANKIND

You'll be...going out with radio...

Going out with disco...going out like bacchanal...

I'll be...going out with telephone...

Going out alone...to the radar zone...

It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine

It's all across this nation...

If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind

What's got the whole world fakin' it?

I'll be...playing with my magazine...

Using up my Listerine...Like Ovaltine...

And you'll be...you're dippin' in your battleship...

For the latest tip...for the latest dream...

It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine

It's all across this nation...

If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind

What's got the whole world fakin' it?

If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind

What's got the whole world fakin' it?

What's got the whole world fakin'? (4x)

What's got the whole world fakin' it, yeah?

I'M OPEN

A man lies in his bed in a room with no door

He waits, hoping for a presence; something, anything to enter

After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank

As the ceiling at which he stared

He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing

So, is he?

When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him

By nine, he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact

No tradebacks... So this is what it's like to be an adult

If he only knew now what he knew then...

I'm open... (2x)

Come on in... (4x)

I'm open... (2x)

Come on in... (4x)

I'm open...

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers he decides to dream...

Dream up a new self for himself...

AROUND THE BEND

I'm wishing you a-well...mind at peace within yourself...

Covers up, I cast you off...I'll be watching as you breathe....

I'd lie still, you move, I'd send you off around the bend...

I hold your head deep in my arms...my fingertips they close your eyes...

Off you dream, my little child...there's a sun around the bend...

There's a sun around the bend...

All the evenings close like this...all these moments that I've missed...

Please forgive, won't you, dear?

Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend...

You're an angel when you sleep...

How I want your soul to keep of and all around the bend...

Vitalogy Album Lyrics




LAST EXIT

Lives opened and trashed..."Look ma, watch me crash"...

No time to question...why'd nothing last...

Grasp and hold on...hold tight and fast...

Soon be over...and I will relent...

Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past

Three days, and maybe longer, won't even know I've left

Under your tongue...I'm like a tab...

I will give you what...you're not s'posed to have...

Under my breath...I swear by sin...

For better or for worse...a best we began...

Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask

Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last...shed...shed...

Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask

Three days, and maybe longer, won't ever find me here

Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past

Four days, and not much longer...

Let my spirit pass...

Ooh...

This is, this is... (3x)

My...last exit


SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE

See this needle...a see my hand...

Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...

Well here it comes...I touch the plane...

Turn me up...won't turn you away...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...whoa...

Pull it out...a paper sleeve...

Oh, my joy...only you deserve conceit...

I'm so big...a-my whole world...

I'd rather you...rather you...than her...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...whoa...oh...

You're so warm...oh, the ritual...when I lay down your crooked arm...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle

Spin, spin...

Spin the black (5x) circle

Spin the black circle... (4x)

Spin, spin... (6x)

NOT FOR YOU

Restless soul, enjoy your youth

Like Muhammad hits the truth

Can't escape from the common rule

If you hate something, don't you do it too...too...

Small my table, a-sets just two

Got so crowded, I can't make room

Oh, where did they come from? Stormed my room!

And you dare say it belongs to you...to you...

This is not for you (3x)

Oh, not for you...ah, you...

..scream...my friends...don't call me...

..friends, no they don't scream...

..my friends don't call...my friends don't...

All that's sacred comes from youth

Dedication, naive and true

With no power, nothing to do

I still remember, why don't you...don't you...

This is not for you (3x)

Oh, never was for you...fuck you...

This is not for you...

Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...

This is not for you...

Oh, not for you...

Oh, you...

TREMOR CHRIST

Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...

Wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...

Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...

Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...

Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...

The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

Ransom paid the Devil...He whispers pleasing words...

Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...

Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...

The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

I'll decide...take the dive...

Take my time...not my life...

Wait for signs...believe in lies...

To get by...it's divine...whoa...

Oh, you know what it's like...

Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...

Puts his faith in love and Tremor Christ...


NOTHINGMAN

Once divided...nothing left to subtract...

Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...

Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...

Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell...

One day she stiffened...took the other side...

Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...

One just escapes...one's left inside the well...

And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

Oh, she don't want him...

Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...

Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

Burn...burn...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

Nothingman... (2x)

Coulda' been something...

Nothingman...

Oh...ohh...ohh...


WHIPPING

Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head

Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet

Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...

After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...

Whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...

..they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached

Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back

Why must we trust all these rusted rails?

They don't want no change, we already have

They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...

..they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!

Ohh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough

I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...

Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...

Oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...

..they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...

..they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

PRY, TO

P-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me (4x)

P-r-i-v-a-c-y (4x)

CORDUROY

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess

I take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give...

I would rather starve than eat your bread...

I would rather run but I can't walk...

Guess I'll lie alone just like before...

I'll take the firmest path...oh, and I must refuse your test

A-push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know...

They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...

I don't want to limp for them to walk...

Never would have known of me before...

I don't want to be held in your debt...

And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...

And I'm already cut up and half dead...

I'll end up alone like I began...

Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed

Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give...

I would rather starve than eat your breast...

All the things that others want for me...

Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)

Can't be what you want because I'm...

I ain't s'posed to be just fun

Oh, to live and die, let it be done

I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...

It's your move now...

I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you...

BUGS

All these...

I got bugs

I got bugs in my room

Bugs in my bed

Bugs in my ears

Their eggs in my head

Bugs in my pockets

Bugs in my shoes

Bugs in the way I feel about you

Bugs on my window

Trying to get in

They don't go nowhere

Waiting, waiting...

Bugs on my ceiling

Crowded the floor

Standing, sitting, kneeling...

A few block the door

And now the question's:

Do I kill them?

Become their friend?

Do I eat them?

Raw or well done?

Do I trick them?

I don't think they're that dumb

Do I join them?

Looks like that's the one

I got bugs on my skin

Tickle my nausea

I let it happen again

They're always takin' over

I see they surround me, I see...

See them deciding my fate

Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...

Now it's too late

I got bugs in my room...one on one

That's when I had a chance

I'll just stop now

I'll become naked

And with the...I'll become one

SATAN'S BED

It's not all been said...been said and done...

I've never slept in Satan's bed

Although I must admit...still visits my place

Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait

Funny how he always seems to fit in

Funny how I always want to give in

Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same

Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave

Already...in love... (3x) Already...

Who made, who made up, made up the myth

That we were born to be covered in bliss?

Who set the standard, born to be rich?

Such fine examples, skinny little bitch

Model, role model, roll some models in blood

Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us

I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club

I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love

Already...in love... (3x) Already...

In love...Ah ha ha ha...follows torture...follows reward... (2x)

Oh, oh my butt...

Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself

You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off

I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both

Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off

I'll never suck Satan's dick...

Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips

I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath

'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...

Already...in love... (6x) Already...

BETTER MAN

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech

As he opens the door, she rolls over...

Pretends to sleep as he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

Can't find a better man (2x)

Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...

She tells herself, oh...

Memories back when she was bold and strong

And waiting for the world to come along...

Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

Can't find a better man (2x)

Yeah...

She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way

She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again

Can't find a better man (3x)

Can't find a better...man...

Ohh...ohh...

Uh huh... (5x)

Ohh...

AYE DAVANITA

Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)

Jahooh...jahooh... (Repeat)

Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)

IMMORTALITY

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her

Cannot find the comfort in this world

Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers

Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...

A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...

But there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...

As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show

Swept out through the cracks beneath the door

Holier than thou, how?

Surrendered...executed anyhow

Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...

A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on to...

But saw the trapdoor in the sun...

Immortality...

I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...

Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...

Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...

And whiskers in the sink...

Truants move on...cannot stay long

Some die just to live...

Ohh...

STUPID MOP

Don't you want people to love you?

My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...

Spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...

That's the only thing I want so much...

Don't you want people to love you?

My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...

That's the only thing I want so much...

Why is that better than being hugged?

Why is that better than being hugged?

Because you get closer to the person...

Closer to the person...

Why is that better than being hugged?

Because you get closer to the person...

Closer to the person...

Just like a person having sex feels cared for...

We wanna be loved, so we have sex together...

And they feel loved about that...

And this is the way it makes me feel...loved...

I want it, I dream about it, I think about it, I want it...

Just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?

It's the way I'll always be probably...

My last one was born in the system...

See, they're stupid, very stupid, those people over there...

They're stupid...

These people are so below mentality, honest to G-d, really...

You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me... (2x)

This mentality, honest to G-d, really...

You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me...

Honest to G-d, really...

You know what I mean, he got the nerve to bug me...

Bug me...bug me...he got the nerve to bug me...

Everything seems so hateful... (2x)

And I, I don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm...

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...

And I don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm...

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... (2x)

Think they got me...

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...hmm...

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...

..Know if that's my imagination, but, umm...

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...

She prides herself on her cleaning habits... (2x)

Hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...

She prides herself on her cleaning habits... (2x)

It's a lovely stupid mop, it is...

There's something really screwy about no streaking...

Is it any old dumb mop? It streaks...

Come on mop, no streaking mop...

I don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, I don't like it...

It's not me, it's the mop...

Come, I bought some new mops...

Go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop...

I don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful... (2x)

I don't believe it...old sponge mop...

Dumb old sponge mop... (2x)

Old sponge mop...

Dumb old sponge mop...

You're right, this mop's stupid...

Dumb old sponge mop...

I don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful...

That's why they call me mophandlemama...

Now the floor looks beautiful...

That's why they call me mophandlemama... (3x)

It'd be two weeks before she could see her psychiatrist...

The twenty-third of May...you know she disturbed no one today...

The manager told her to completely forget...

If you ever go to bed, I'll kill you...

Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill?

Go to the papers...yeah, why not?

Drum roll...

I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs...

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

Very much so...

Think I deserve to be loved...

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

..To be loved, don't you?

But I keep it to myself...

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?

Very much so...

Do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?

Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...

Yeas, I believe I would...

I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...

Yes, I believe I would...

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

..that I can walk without hands of theirs... }

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself... } (2x)

Keep it to myself...keep it to myself... }

I think I deserve to be loved, don't you? }

Very much so...

Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?

Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...

Yes, I believe I would...
