Across The Sea

You are 18 year
old girl
Who lives in small
city of Japan
And you heard me
on the radio
About one
year ago
And you're wanting to
know all about me
And my hobbies
my favorite food
And my birthday
why are you
So far away
from me
I need help and you're
way across the sea
I could never
touch you
I think it
would be wrong
But I've got
your letter
And you've
got my song

They don't make
stationery
Like this
where
I'm from so fragile
so refined
So I sniff and
I lick your
Envelope and
fall to
Little pieces
every time
I wonder what
clothes you wear
To school I wonder how
you decorate your room
I wonder how
you touch yourself
And curse myself for
being across the sea
Why are you so far
away from me
I need help and you're
way across the sea
I could never
touch you
I think it
would be wrong
But I've got
your letter
And you've
got my song

At 10 I shaved my head
and tried to be a monk
I thought the
older women
Would like me
if I did
You see ma I'm
a good little boy
It's all your
fault momma
It's all
your fault
Goddamn this business
is really lame
I gotta live
on an island
To find
the juice
So you send me
your love from
All around
the world
As if I could
live on words and
Dreams and a
million screams
Oh how I need a hand
in mine to feel
Why are you
so far away from me
Why are you
so far away from me
I could never
touch you
I think it
would be wrong
I've got your letter
and you've got my song
I've got your letter
and you've got my song

Beverly Hills

Where I come from
isn't all that great
My automobile is
a piece of crap
My fashion sense is
a little wack
And my friends are
just as screwy as me
I didn't go
to boarding schools
Preppy girls never
looked at me
Why should they
I ain't nobody
Got nothin'
in my pocket
Beverly hills that's
where I want to be
Living in
beverly hills
Beverly hills rollin'
like a celebrity
Living in
beverly hills
Look at all
those movie stars
They're all
so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids
scrub the floors
They get the spaces
in between
I wanna live
a life like
That I wanna be
just like a king
Take my picture
by the pool
Cause I'm the next
big thing in
Beverly hills that's
where I want to be
Living in
beverly hills
Beverly hills rollin'
like a celebrity
Living in
beverly hills

The truth is
I don't stand a chance
It's something
that you're born into
And I just
don't belong
No I don't
I'm just a
No class
beat down fool
And I will
always be that way
I might as well
enjoy my life
And watch
the stars play
Beverly hills that's
where I want to be
Living in
beverly hills
Beverly hills rollin'
like a celebrity
Living in
Beverly Hills
Beverly hills
beverly hills
Beverly hills
beverly hills
Living in
beverly hills

Butterfly

Yesterday
I went outside
With my momma's
mason jar
Caught a lovely
butterfly
When I woke up
today
Looked in
on my fairy pet
She had withered
all away
No more sighing
in her breast
I'm sorry for
what I did
I did what my body
told me to
I didn't mean to
do you harm
Everytime I pin down
what I think I want
It slips away
the ghost slips away
I smell you on my hand
for days
I can't wash away
your scent
If I'm a dog then
you're a bitch
I guess you're
as real as me
Maybe I can live
with that
Maybe I need
fantasies
A life of chasing
butterfly
I'm sorry for
what I did
I did what my body
told me to
I didn't mean to
do you harm
Everytime I pin down
what I think I want
It slips away
the ghost slips away

I told you
I would return
When the robin
makes his nest
But I ain't
never coming back
I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Dope Nose

Oh- oh oh-
oh oh- oh- oh
Debt on my head
wasting time
On my own sleep
rescue me
Take me back
to my home
For the times
that you wanna go
And bust rhymes
real slow
I'll appear slap
you on the face
And enjoy the show
oh- oh oh-
Oh oh- oh- oh
cheese
Smells so good
on a burnt
Piece of lamb fad
of the year
Who could beat
up your man
For the time that
you wanna go and
Bust rhymes
real slow
I'll appear slap you
on the face and
Enjoy the show
oh- this dope nose
Oh oh- oh
oh- oh- oh-

For the times that
you wanna go and
Bust rhymes
real slow
I'll appear slap you
on the face
And enjoy the show
oh- this dope nose
Oh oh- oh oh-
oh- oh oh--

Island In The Sun

When you're
on a holiday
You can't find
the words to say
All the things
that come to you
And I wanna
feel it too
On an island
in the sun
We'll be playing
and having fun
And it makes me
feel so fine
I can't control
my brain

When you're on a
golden sea
You don't
need no memory
Just a place to
call your own
As we drift
into the zone
On an island
in the sun
We'll be playing
and having fun
And it makes me
feel so fine
I can't control
my brain
We'll run away
together
We'll spend some
time forever
We'll never feel bad
any more

On an island
in the sun
We'll be playing
and having fun
And it makes me
feel so fine
I can't control
my brain
We'll run away
together
We'll spend some
time forever
We'll never feel bad
any more
We'll never feel bad
any more no no
We'll never feel bad

My Name Is Jonas

My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for
all you've shown us
But this is
how we feel
Come sit next to me
pour yourself some tea
Just like
grandma made
When we couldn't
find sleep
Things were
better then
Once but never again
we've all left the den
Let me tell you
'bout it
The choo choo train
left right on time
A ticket cost
only your mind
The driver said hey
man we go all the way
Of course we were
willing to pay
My name is Wepeel
I gotta box
Full of your toys
they're fresh
Out of batteries
but they're still
Makin' noise
makin' noise
Tell me what to do
now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
and you know what else
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
from my little brother
The building's not
goin' as it's planned
The foreman has
injured his hand
The dozer will not
clear it's path
The driver swears
he learned his math
The workers are
goin' home
The workers are
goin' home
The workers are
goin' home
The workers are
goin' home yeah

The workers are
goin' home
The workers are
goin' home
The workers are goin'
home yeah yeah yeah

My name is
Jonas

Say It Ain't So

Oh yeah

Somebody's heine'
is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just
close my eyes
Oh yeah all right
feels good inside
Flip on the tele'
wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
behind my back
The bottle is
ready to blow
Say it ain't so your
drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
my love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might
hurt you
So try and be cool
when I say
This way is a
waterslide away
From me that takes you
further every day
So be cool
say it ain't so
Your drug is a
heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
my love is a lifetaker
Dear daddy
I write you
In spite of
years of silence
You've cleaned up
found jesus
Things are good
or so I hear
This bottle
of Steven's
Awakens
ancient feelings
Like father
stepfather
The son is
drowning in the flood
Yeah ye yeah

Say it ain't so your
drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
my love is a lifetaker
