Incarnatus Baby
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu
sancto ex Maria virgine
et home factus est
(And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost
of the virgin Mary and was made man)
Closer to the Man Up Above
when i'm flyin' high in a jet plane
and i'm inside that big ol' bird
i feel closer to the man up above
chorus:
how much faith does it take
to keep that big ol' bird from falling?
keep her singing,
happy and full of love?
'cuz she flies suspended with nothing
but feet curled under her wing
closer to the man up above
the generals went to new york city
to study the nature of the sky
they wined and dined with celebrities
watched the clouds go by
shined their boots
said their prayers
and went to bed
the first general dreamed
about a giant flash of light
the second dreamed about his son
the third dreamed
he was flying like a bird
closer to the man up above
(chorus)
i shot my girl with the ocean
where all the little fishes swim
what a stir it caused
what a great commotion
under moonlight we
close the curtains
and hold each other tight
and this of course is where it all begins
and how much faith does it take
to keep that big ol' bird from falling
keep us singing,
happy and full of love?
'cuz we fly suspended
with nothing but feet
curled under wing
closer to the man up above
Devil's Grip
i got the devil's grip
i'm delirious with fever
my temperature is hot
like an old locomotive
i got eels and pickled herring
i got horned pout on my breath
i got eyes like a serpent
i got blood around my neck
my head's on fire like a rubber tire
the demons are at the door
wash your face in the blood of the lamb
the doctor can't help you no more
i got the devil's grip
i got a pistol in my hand
i got a tattoo of a ship
on a chest full of diamonds
i got needles in my eyes
i got some dirty old coin
my empty stomach's screaming
like a thousand babies cryin'
wind blown fence the fence is broken
abraham tow the line
hoe the corn moses with a broken toe singing
baby jesus is a friend of mine
i got the devil's grip
Starstruck and Brainwashed
i'm starstruck
brainwashed
far away i see a can of light
strictly mediocre
but that's o.k.
i feel dynamite
i'm starstruck
brainwashed
far away i see a can of light
i'm going places
even though my car is broken
i'm on fire
at the top of my game
soon i'll hit the big time
cuz i'm on fire
i'm starstruck
brainwashed
far away i see a can of light
Spill
(instrumental)
Chip is a Good Guy
sometimes when i watch tv
i start to cry
i fall into my tv trance
and then i just fall apart
it seems kind of weird
i mean what's that all about?
i fall into my tv trance and then i
just fall apart
it started back in boston
i lived there in the 80's
in a funky old apartment on the first floor
i loved that place
we had an old black and white tv
it belonged to my roommate chip
chip and i were pretty close
we worked the same day job
we also played in the same band
you might say we saw a lot of each other
but that was alright
we got along well
we still do
chip is a good guy
Let's Ball
let's ball baby ball
i'll pull the curtains
let's sing our lullaby
here in the hall
let's ball baby ball
my cup runeth over
my knees are shaking
let's ball baby ball
Sewertrout
the fish fell from the sky
like an arc of a meteorite
way back when the earth was on fire
millions of fish with bright green scales and fluorescent eyes
tumbled through the moonless night
landing in a river that runs through the heart of philadelphia
chorus:
sewertrout
straight from the schykill river
philadelphia
sewertrout
it was a vision thing
came to me in a dream
in the cool waters deep dark and warm they swam
and prospered until life and flesh were no longer
their white shattered skeletons
and crumbled bones
rose from the river returning to the place of their birth
forming new constellations in the night time sky
(chorus 2x)
Caught in a Tree
(instrumental)
Rio
there's a moon over rio
i'm dancing with my pillow
on streets of silver and gold
smuggled diamonds in my nose
i'm not wearing any clothes
on the streets of rio
the moon up above is full of demons and love
dancing bears and human cannonballs
fruit falls from the trees with the greatest of ease
on the streets of rio
the girls come around with their tight evening gowns
perfume, pearls and painted nails
the girls have no teeth but that's good enough for me
on the streets of rio
with hips like battleships they dance for beer and tips
take off their clothes for me
they'll shine up your cock till its hard as a rock
on the streets of rio
the moon up above is full of demons and love
dancing bears and human cannonballs
birds fall from the sky as the dogs pass by
on the streets of rio
Postlude
