01. The Talking Horse

Music & lyrics by MelvinsThe golden talking equine godSpeaks nothing but rageThe nature of the burning beeMeans nothing to no way

The burning talking nowhere nearMeans nothing to meThe golden talking equine godMeans nothing to no way

02. Blood Witch

Music & lyrics by MelvinsRight in the bloodMaybe it's aliveCause it's loaded

Worse on their ownBottom of the worldBut they mean it

Nothing will be worseWe have learned to thinkCause it might be

The nows and the kneesHow will we breathe?And they like it

03. Civilized Worm

Music & lyrics by MelvinsWe move more, man I would like to gambleI came with my poor four eyesCrawling weakly warning my favorite come and lie hereUnder my bed or deep under my fingersWhere are my hands and knees in times of windingWe night, it's only when we civilize that wormFor vagrant times we need itWhat secret of your knowing is the beginning

Whoa!!!Fine chance to be home, believe it, believe itHis widow's nest is growing coldSet sail and hide your headLook alive your going homeLook alive your going home

Wait Wait Wait WaitFine chance to be here, believe me, believe itThis widow's nest is growing coldSet sail and hide your headWalk the line your going homeWalk the line your going home

04. A History of Drunks

Music & lyrics by MelvinsShe helped me remove the bullet from my legShe took the blade, dug them out while I lay screamingShe showed me bloody things and held them in her handAnd said that these were hers and put them in her pocket

I begged her to shoot me in the headShe took my gun and shot my leg insteadThe way she held my gun and looked at me with rageTold me that everything was OK and I survived

And now she stays with me, it's crazy but she's mineShe tells me I'm insane because she doesn't lieShe was the killing me, she left me here to dieAnd all the ways that worries all right

05. Rat Faced Granny

Music & lyrics by MelvinsThe owls are burningShe's sick of meAnd I'm not leaving

So what's the story?Like a good night'sThey flash in nowhere

I couldn't be botheredThat's hurting meThe night of victory

He's ranked you bloodyI can't believeAnd now it's over

Wild, nothing newA night, nothing newOh, you think you're wild, but you're nothing newAnd now you're wombedNothing newAnd that's a wild, but it's nothing new

And now you're olderNothing

What? Nothing new.A night? Nothing new.What about the heart, friend?But now you're evenAnd you're worriedNothing newDon't even worry, and we'll think it's goodGood, good, good...

06. The Hawk

Music & lyrics by MelvinsHey there, Mr NightmareNow you're lost(Basics only)The gutter and the martyrHave left you alone(Basics only)The learned and the sparrowAre all eaten by hawks(Basics only)

Now you're in the nightmareIt's not your fault(Basics only)The wings of holy nightmareCome drifting in(Basics only)Where is all your cold windWhere is what you knew?(Basics only)

Now the gutter martyr, now alive and well yeahNow the morning after is just you and yours

07. You've Never Been Right

Music & lyrics by MelvinsThe rabies, and what we think is rightWe're babies, not aliveThe mirror, and why we change our namesBecomes clearer, not alive [x2]

08. A History of Bad Men

Music & lyrics by MelvinsWake up, you never looked so glumTell me how will we know they can't hear us coming?It's easy for me, I got a headstart running awayKeep up or your disease spread quickSo how did you learn to be sick, so cunningIt's easy to sing but you just keep on humming alongDid you hear that, I got a real bad feelingHow many moles do you suppose they're keeping?

Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping

Dire, dire, dire, it's fleetingDire, dire, dire, it's fleetingDire, dire, dire, it's fleetingDire, dire, dire, it's fleetingDire, dire, dire, it's fleetingDire, dire, dire, it's fleetingYeah

Wake up, you never looked so glumTell me how will we know they can't hear us coming?It's easy for me, I got a headstart running awayKeep up or your disease spread quickSo how did you learn to be sick, so cunningIt's easy to sing but you just keep on humming alongDid you hear that, I got a real bad feelingHow many moles do you suppose they're keeping?Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping

09. The Mechanical Bride

Music & lyrics by MelvinsWe are undoneAnd all I could seeThey listen to the worldThey live upon the earth

Mother made manAnd you're so crazyAnd they would say we're saneKneel beside the blood

We are undoneSomewhere no oneAs soon as it was bornDid love of where he stood

No lamb will liveAnd underrate thisWe're staring at the sunAs many as I love

No water and a lieCovered it overNo power in the houseAnd with it, they do harm

I can believeThat you're so crazyAnd welcome to the endYou wish you were alone

10. A Vast Filthy Prison

Music & lyrics by MelvinsTake care of my princess,Take her cause we live alone.

If you weren't so simple,I would never come alone.Raise your hand to heaven,Now raise the one thats half alive.You said you'd give a fortune,If you could have it everynight.The world is full of evil,Now which of those are one of you.Where is my one true angel,With her golden wings so open.

Some would call it heaven,Some would call it bravery.I would call it neither,I would call it thievery.
