Diggin’ That Grave
The kids are lining up, got there shovels in hand
Doing the dance that’s the hit of the land
It’s beyond heavy metal, punk and new wave
The other dances died so we’re diggin’ that grave.
Diggin’ that grave, diggin’ that diggin’ that grave.
Move with your shovels like you’re digging’ some dirt
You better keep your eyes peeled cuz you might get hurt.
Well, there’s a head rolling ‘round this town
Knockin’ everybody down.
Diggin’ that grave, diggin’ that diggin’ that grave.
When the grave diggin’ starts, some people lose their heads
Yeah, it’s no exaggeration, it’s knocking ‘em dead.
‘Cause when dance floor cleared, no one was saved.
That’s what happens when you’re diggin’ that grave.
Diggin’ that grave, diggin’ that diggin’ that grave.
There’s a head rolling ‘round this town
Knockin’ everybody down.

God Told Me To

GOD TOLD ME TO
Guess I’m in big trouble now
Newspapers tell you why
I’m the one who caused such grief when I
Made my family die
Shot them down with a gun
I bought near the liquor store
Guy from the TV news is here
He’s wondering what I did it for.
Their faces twist and turn as if in pain
They look away from me as I explain
You see I did the things I had to do (God told me to)
He said that I had better follow through (God told me to)
He guaranteed that he would save my soul (God told me so)
And now I sit here in this padded room (God told me to)
What is there to say to you now?
What more can be said?
I did what the Lord told me to do now
Mom and Dad are dead.
My aunts and uncles come from all around.
They go on TV and they put me down.
They do not realize what I had to do (God told me to)
They look at me as if I’ve gone insane (What did God say?)
He said they’d probably lock me up for good (God said they would)
And now I sit here in this padded room (God told me to).
Why can’t they let me be?
Can’t they see, I did what I had to do.
When God issued his request
I said ‘yes,’ wouldn’t you?
There is no hope for me now
No light that I can see
No judge among the kingdom of man
Or jury will set me free
And so I bid you all a sad farewell
As I stay here locked in earthly hell.
You see I did the things I had to do (God told me to)
He said that I had better follow through (God told me to)
He guaranteed that he would save my soul (God told me so)
And now I sit here in this padded room (God told me to

I Hate Bruce

I HATE BRUCE
When you call my name
A shower of sparks from your mouth
Say what’s on your mind
And if it’s all the same to you
I’ll watch TV and give you an answer
When the show is through.
Drawing in strength from its gut
It has to move on
Yes, I’m strong
When you’re on with me and the timing is right
Trying with all, all of your might
Well, I try to stay on with you
But my heart starts to beat and bend to the heat
As I cry:
I hate Bruce
I do
I hate Bruce
Hold on, when I see you with that hint of desire
Well, I know why, so I try
But my heart starts to beat
And I can’t explain the heat
As I shout bye bye
Bye bye baby bye bye
I hate Bruce
C’mon, Jenny take a ride now.

End of Time
Fall from grace, the Sayer of the Law he speaks
Second place, the position you must keep
You’re my friend, and you shall watch the end with me
Not the end of the world, but it is the
End of time. Don’t ask me to explain
End of time. No sunshine and no rain.
Dandelions, blow in the wind but not for us.
Sanctified, we’re entombed in rust
Shed no tears, for what has come and what has gone
Have no fears, for there will be no dawn.
It’s the end of time- all that is- goodbye.
End of time, there is no reason why.
End of time.
In the streets, the people don’t know what’s to come
I repeat, no eternal kingdom
Come with me, we won’t have to start again
Here, take these, and you will feel no pain.
It’s the end of time- all that is- goodbye.
End of time, there is no reason why.

INCUBUS
I am the incubus
I have been near, waiting
For you to go to sleep so I could
Make love to you here in the dark.
When you dream tonight, you’ll dream of me.
You learn things only I teach
You will learn such things tonight.
I am the incubus
Directly above you
And now I will descend upon you
Good night, sleep tight
Get off your knees if you’re going to pray
There’s new prayers I’m happy to teach
I am the incubus.
There are many things in the night
That cannot be explained
I am simply one of them
I come down like rain
There are many things in your mind
I am simply one of them
Something that can’t be explained
Like a distant pain
I am the incubus
Tonight you’ll be my love
But will I still love you tomorrow?
Who knows, who really cares?
Tonight is eternity
Tomorrow comes, I’ll be away
I am the incubus.

HAPPY TIMES
Check what’s on TV
Hand me another beer
It tastes so pleasing
I’m just so happy here.
Are you aware, yes you must realize
These are such happy times
My reflection looks back at me
From the gleam in my shoe.
Trendy died hair hangs down in my eyes
These are such happy times
And there is always something to do.
We’ve have some fun, babe
But I’ve run out of cash
Can’t you stop scratching
We can’t afford no stash
Remember the lows help you notice the highs
These are such happy times
Watch as the paint on the wall
Peels and falls to the floor
Everyone knows that a man doesn’t cry
These are such happy times
Why then are your bags sitting by the door?
Go on and go, just leave all of this
It’s a diamond in the rough
A friendly abode in a gay neighborhood
I’ll never get enough
Of sleeping alone with my back to the wall
It’s nice to feel safe
Just look at the sky, the sun’s shining down
You can see it through the haze
Here in the city
Everyone loves this town
I’m not being witty
The guys really get around
When we’re on the prowl out painting the town
These are such happy times
Loneliness is just a state of mind that isn’t real
Riding in the back of a rented Cadillac
These are such happy times
If everything went wrong it’d be no big deal.
These are such happy times
We’re having such happy times.

CRIMSON UMBRELLA
You’ve never seen the morning sun
Erased right out of the sky
Crimson Umbrella, a gift from her hand
Crimson Umbrella, shadows the land
We didn’t know what she meant
When she said please stay inside
Crimson Umbrella, a gift from her hand
Crimson Umbrella, shadows the land
She didn’t know what it would be used for
And we didn’t know the score.
She’s a happy girl with her red umbrella
She’s quite insecure without her red umbrella
Don’t let ‘em take it away
That’s what she always said
Don’t let ‘em take it away.
She went home to see her mom.
Mother, she just turned away.
Crimson Umbrella, a gift from her hand
Crimson Umbrella, shadows the land

LOVE DUST
The wise old owl knows why
I’ve come into his shop at the end of my street
He knows I’m here to buy
And there’s no need to be discreet.
He looks into my eyes
As I give a description
Of what I can’t make mine
And he fills the prescription
Love dust
He gives me love dust
To work the miracle
On my way back home
To mix up the brew
Gotta follow the directions
So I’ll know what to do
Fingernail clippings
I stole a lock of your hair
Mix it up, burn it up
The smoke clouds the air
Love dust
I got the love dust
It works a miracle
Nighttime comes
You’re the one
I don’t need to beg or ask
Since the dust has done it’s task
Tell me how
You feel right now
Tell me that your love ain’t real
Tell me how you really feel
Things go just as planned
You’re in my arms, telling me the lies
That have been programmed
For you to say all of the night.
Sunlight starts to glow
As your light begins to fade
And so you must go
As the sun brings the day
Love dust
I need more love dust
I need a miracle
