Kevin Casey's floor Covered in bear traps Motor oil stains And liquid fat Sleeps with one eye open Machete under the bed He never learned to drive a car No one's seen his teeth and lived Kevin Casey's floor Trees tremble when he snores Kevin Casey's floor Kevin Casey's closet Only feathers and darkness Autograph of a wrestler And an old guitar Kevin Casey's arms Roped with a dozen scars And all the children say...

Murphy had two eyes the way some people have two dimes Called it his double joint He liked to scoop 'em out and then pop 'em back in It was a real good parlour trick He liked to pass the time grifting retired cops Down at Callahan's A felt Stetson could often be found Floating above his head Horrors big and horrors small I have conjured up them all Murphy answers when you call Your horrors Murphy had two big ears the way some people have two eyes Called it his axle-rod For a dollar alone, he'd spin 'em all around For a laugh and a quick buck He had made a career as the local freak Now I think he's ready to die He said, I just bought a gun I got two barrels the way some people got two barrels Did you know if you buy him a beer His whole head disappears All that's left of him now Is his Cheshire mouth Smiling like a moron

We're the ones who get pushed under the subway We're the ones who eat the bad beef And we're the ones whose dosage is lethal We spill the coffee The bungled and the botched Some of us were destined for greatness Some of us lock the keys in the car Some of us try to touch the 3-D movie So pathetic it's almost groovy The bungled and the botched Plastic surgery turns ugly Power lines mutate the kids Golf clubs struck by lightning We run on empty We watch satellite TV We're that tacky tragedy Slit our wrists for fun On empty we run How could I forget We're the bungled and the botched No further questions, your honor

I wasted a summer along the lowest road Punk purists slipped through my hands And drove off to their deaths But why, I'll never understand Feeding the fire, speed sick and decadent We raised a toast to the wardens of this Said I'll raise me up from this deadly dust But cynicism taught me enough At the end of the summer There was nothing but the fall I got into heavy metal Wrote a song and it was called Every man for himself And god against them all Maybe baby I'm a motormouth Running out of shit to say I got one good idea And I beat it into the grave And the steam of youth is all that drives this march of days We didn't learn a thing in that shitty apartment Just smashed bottles in the hall I wrote a song for you Might as well have never played at all I did what I could and hell can have the rest Hey hey, god against them all

Oblivian 03:09
Away we go to the burlesque show It'll suck us down like an undertow Teeth in my skull start to rattle Anticipating the golden gallows All these hours of Bolivian powder My soul does raggedly twist There isn't much left of you in my thoughts Just this column of mist We will fall through the earth Some are gonna bleed and others gonna scream Our souls are gonna pus their lust and greed We will fall through the earth How you wanna waste your earthly hour? Mothers and sons all be devoured Top me off and sing me sin Our eyes are wolves what feast on skin Some may laugh while others weep Our hearts are shallow, our graves are deep
