We can run Sea Castle Hotel
We can rule the fires of Hell
We can leap out of this bowl if we want but
We’ll never be free
As long as there’s a prick in your arms
And a song of cool death in your charms
You can break me up and skin me or
Break me down and shimmy
We’ll never be free
We can make each other miserable
We can make each other cry
We can find the portal and
Piss on all the mortals
We’ll take it to the other side
Ancient shiny sea cheats and secrets
Brand new briny guides with their wings lit
Singing, “C’mon! C’mon with me!”
Secret sea cheats and guides
You got nothing to hide
C’mon with me

smoking at 'em
(the vain penguins)
shrinked wrapped mayhem and
serious biscuit smog
das parts despues midnight

crying tracker
flea-flicking slacker
genial misery
miserable junkie
dope junkies in the closet
genial misery
miserable junkie
dope junkies in the closet
this is the lonesome deprivation of sir lefty and

Faster clicks and
Parting gifts and
All of the things you didn't bet you would get
They're on me
Toxic pricks and
Cosmic chicks and
A backbeat freak who breaks
All of your sticks
It's on me
Twelve dead soldiers and
A cloud of smoke and
The IBMers have the cops on
The phone
Two more good years and
We're all gonna croak in
A messy old basement
All alone
In her lonely crisis
Like Isis
In frozen devastation of
Circular reaction
She thinks we're at the station
Toxic pricks and cosmic chicks and
All of the associated predicaments are on me
Through the miracles of quiet slumber
I adore you on the backporch swing
In the crippled waves of light
She is a stunning golden apparition of
Semi-salvation, twisted misery and
Incredible farewells

Green to the Gills
01:14
|
|||
|
So you pass the pipe around on your way back to the room
Baby's got a technicolor crypt in there
She wants to leave Dry Town soon
She's been staring at her feet all day
Sitting comatose since noon
Some people are drawn away by a roar and rush of nothing and
They leave too soon
Damn it, baby
Breathe
It's time to go to the portal with
Me
Green to the gills is
No way to get to
The top of the heap to
The top of that hill

Sitting lonely in your golden mind
Against the tide and running far beyond your years
Admitting only in your olden mind
The cheers and beers and marches all disappear with time
In the cess pool chasm
In the quagmire of hermit years
You feel digraced, displaced, disenchanted
In your golden mind
Gloomy mornings at the rainy gym
Get your hands off my disaster
There's still hope all over my face when
You're locking up the sun

Go
Get on in life with
Your boxing days and
Your dancehall nights
Run
Run Sea Castle Hotel with
Your sea bottom blues and
Your skid row shell
Ain't nobody ever going to stay away forever
Go
Get on with your life
It's not much but
It's a career
A place to go when
You want to get out of here
Go
Go get on in life with
Your rainy days and
Your boxing stripes
Ain't nobody ever going to stay awake forever
Ain't Nobody's going to stay awake!

I Hurt All Over

Party people,
How you feeling?
O to be young and free of will
So where are you from?
Yeah, you fit the bill
I swear to God that I had it all
They paid me to fall
Now I work at the Mill
O to be young and free of will
I've heard it all- heard it all, baby
Heard it all over
I hurt
I hurt all over

Hey Man, Ain't You High?
01:41
|

Hey man
Ain't you high?
Why not?
Ain't nothing do or die
Ain't nothing you can't do later
Ain't nothing you can't do high!

On the heels of your favorite demon
Got you out of the house tonight
Isn't true pleasure always
Looking for trouble
At any measure
From any side?
That's one Hell of a ride!

Don't come around me any more
You remind me I've become a bore
I wasn't letting you out
You weren't letting me in

A Welcome Reunion
00:39
|

|
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When I see you again
It will be a welcome reunion
It's how we choose it
That's why we lose it
That's how we dooze it
See you again
See you again
It's all in how we lose it

The Sea Dogs are Tanking

The Sea Dogs are tanking
Mariners are weeping
They took the gate away
Recently removed
Underwater welders
Since when have you been called away?
Would you call this a pretty desperate day?
He's not coming back
Left in a wolf pack
Say that to me, motherfucker
Don't hurry
Everybody gets behind
Don't worry about what's on your mind
As we get older and the night goes faster
As all our days shrink away
Sleeping on the backporch swing
Dying inside! Dying inside!
I told you a thousand times
I'm not coming back!
Who would? Who would? Who would?
Crippled waves of light
