I LOVE YA, Y'KNOW [slow soul/R&B] Santa Rosa, CA 20 July 2002
[chorus:] I love ya, I love ya, I love ya, y'know
-
I need ya so much, I need yer touch
I've needed ya ever since I was born
I need ya like a weevil needs corn
I need ya like a luzer needs porn [chorus]
-
And yer so hot, I need what ya got
I love ya like a garden needs rain
I love ya like a psycho needs pain
C'mon and hit me, again and again [chorus]
-
[bridge:] Baby yer so sweet, ya shoved me off my feet
And baby yer so bold, ya keep me from growing old
And baby when you shag, y'know I just have to beg
And then, and then, and then, you bite my leg...
-
I get lost when I wander down your road
I need ya like a pyro needs fire
I need ya like a wirehead needs a wire
And then ya drown me in an ocean of desire [chorus]

[repeat and fade]
I COULD DIE [cowboy] Santa Rosa, CA 21 July 2002
I'm just an old bear strangler
I choked old bears with grace and ease
But now a bear is strangling me
And I'm so lonesome, I could die
-
I'm just a master baiter
I baited my masters every day
But now my masters are baiting me
And I'm so slimy, I could die
-
I'm just an old fire starter
I started old fires with flint and steel
But now the fires are burning in me
And I'm so char-broiled, I could die
And I'm so char-broiled, I could die
SHE LOOKED IN THE WINDOW (Over And Under And) [lyric folky] Lodi, CA 23 July 2002
She looked in the window that's set in my chest - She said,
"I see your heart beating, but what's all that other stuff?"
The rest of me's functioning at some other level
-
[chorus:] I'm over and under and under and over
And over and under for you
-
She looked in the window that's set in my head - She said,
"I see your brain sizzling, but why all the drama?"
I told her that thinking has weird side-effects [chorus]
-
[bridge:] It's not just physiology, or abnormal psychology
Or some kind of pathology that's stuck in my spine
It's more than epiphany, or a Saturday litany
That tells me you're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
[howl]
-
She looked thru the culvert that's cut thru my soul - She said,
"I see your concerns, but what's all that wriggling stuff?"
I care what you're thinking, I care how you feel
I care whether you're just a snack or a meal
So now I'll go crawl one more turn 'round the wheel
-
[chorus:] I care if you're under and over and under
And under and over for me
BUST YOUR BUNS NOW [rolling Zulu chant] Clements, CA 23 July 2002

You're rolling along in the sun, in the sun now
Then you fall, bust your buns, bust your buns now
So you get up, gotta run, gotta run now
Fall again, bust your buns, bust your buns now
ba-ba-ba-ba, bu-bu-bu-bu, da-da-da-da, du-du-du-du ...
-
You think that you're winning in the game, in the game now
Then you lose, bust your buns, bust your buns now
Used to be so much fun, so much fun now
Then it bites, bust your buns, bust your buns now
ba-ba-ba-ba, bu-bu-bu-bu, da-da-da-da, du-du-du-du ...
-
[bridge:] Ev'ry day, you get too lazy
Ev'ry day, your heart gets rusted
Ev'ry day, your life goes crazy
Ev'ry day, your buns get busted,
Busted, busted, da-da-da-da
-
You was cute, you's the one, you's the one now
Then you sag, bust your buns, bust your buns now
You were good, you were good with your gun now
Then you shoot, bust your buns, bust your buns now
ba-ba-ba-ba, bu-bu-bu-bu, da-da-da-da, du-du-du-du ...
TICK-TOCK [slow whiney techno] Jackson, CA 23 July 2002
[A] She tied him to the pendulum and
Set the blade a-swinging - It went:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
Just a moment of vertigo, and
Then his head cleared up - It went:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
-
[B] The pendulum is carrying him
To heights he never knew - Listen:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
I bet you'd never think that
She would do the same to you - Listen:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
-
[A] The hands of time swing round and round
The ground is moving back and forth - Just:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
It's just a matter of gravity, just
Elementary physics - Listen:
Tick - tock - tick - tock
-
[repeat B]
[instrumental]
-
[A] The master spring is winding down,
The pendulum - is - slow-ing -
Tiiick - tockkk - tiiick - tockkk
And no-body will un-derstand a
Sin-gle word you're say-ing when you
Talkkk - talkkk - talkkk - talkkk
Talkkk - talkkk - talkkkkkk...
FIND A NEW FRIEND [C&W waltz] Pine Grove, CA 23 July 2002
She laughed in my face so I moved it around
Stuck my nose in my ear and my eye in my *pocket*
She said I was dim, not the brightest of men
So I stuck my tongue in the light *socket*
-
[chorus:]
But I couldn't do anything to please her, please her
So I think that I'll find a new friend
-
She told me to pack up and move my stuff out
Then she slamed the door shut and she *locked-it*
She threw my bags out the window and laughed
So I just looked up and said, "*Fock-it!*" [chorus]
-
I'm never a felon, I never get violent
I don't want to stand in that *docket*
So I'll strap headphones on, blast my brain with loud sound
I'll shake-it and roll-it and *rock-it* [chorus]
ANOTHER WOMAN [samba] Dixon, CA 23 July 2002
[Am-G-F-E with 6ths, 4ths, Maj.7ths]
[rhythm]
-
Well I saw the spi-der wo-man,
She had sil-ver shining ha-air
And she turned her complex eyes on me
And caught me with her stare - She said,
"Boy, what are you doing?
Is your politics as sticky
As my incandescent web?"
Which she dropped around my head
-
[rhythm]
-
Well I saw the panther wo-man
She was hang-ing in her tre-ee
And she yawned with vi-tal luxury
And took the measure of me - She said,
"Boy, what are you doing here?
You're stan-ding awful close"
And she laid an alabaster claw
Right against my throat
-
[rhythm]
-
Well I saw the anaconda girl
Come sliding thru the gra-ass - She said,
"Boy, what are you thinking here?"
And knocked me on my a-ass
And she wrapped herself around me
And she gave a snakey hug
And she sucked the breath right out of me
And filled me with her drug
-
[rhythm]
-
Well I saw the sweet volcano girl
With flames around her head - She said,
"Boy, why are you living here, and
When will you be dead (dead)?"
And they threw the virgins into her
And they ran (ran) from her flashings
And she sent her lava tendrils out
Which so arroused my passion
-
[rhythm]

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY [techno-folky] Santa Rosa, CA 30 July 2002
It's a beautiful day at the DMV
Listening to the cellphone symphony
Waiting with unwashed humanity
I love it all, love it all, love it all
-
It's a beautiful day on the expressway
Enjoying the horn-honking symphony
Digging road-range while the bumper-cars play
I love every moment, every moment
-
It's a beautiful day at the big-box store
Stomping the endless concrete floor
Queued forever while the loudspeakers roar
I love it all, love it all, love it all
-
It's a beautiful day at the elevator
Sampling each farting hallucinator
Knowing for sure I'll die sooner than later
I love every whiff, whiff, whiff, whiff....
BABY JESUS, BABY JESUS GODZ [honky-tonky] Vallejo, CA 31 July 2002
"May the Baby Jesus shut your mouth and open your mind"
--1960s San Francisco LSD slogan
O, the Baby Jesus has opened my eyes
Yeah, the Baby Jesus has shut my mouth
Now, I can see a foot-long hot dog
And I can see a dozen sugared donuts
But I can't get my mouth around'em
Take me home, Baby Jesus, take me home
O, the Baby Jesus has opened my mouth
And the Baby Jesus has closed my mind
Now, I can taste potent abstractions
And I see hexadecimal fractions
But I can't get my mind around'em
Take me home, Baby Jesus, take me home
O, the Baby Jesus has opened my mind
Dig, the Baby Jesus has shut my ears
I know there are songbirds singing
I know there are churchbells ringing
But I can't get'em into my ears
Take me home, Baby Jesus, take me home
O, the Baby Jesus has opened my ears
Yeah, the Baby Jesus has closed my heart
Your prayers are loud and frenzied
Your pleas are nearly demented
But I can't get my heart around'em
Take me home, Baby Jesus, take me home
O, the Baby Jesus has opened my heart
And the Baby Jesus has opened my wounds
And the salt of love pours into me
The waves of time wash over me
And my wounds sing out like nightingales
Take me home, Baby Jesus, take me home
