Track Lyrics

As We Go Up, We Go Down Lyrics

8 ContributorsAs We Go Up, We Go Down LyricsA song about how maybe opposites aren’t really opposites after all. Is Bob Pollard the Alan Watts of indie rock?I can't terrorize, I see terror in your eyes
As we go up, we go down
I can't socialize, I'll be institutionalized
As we go up, we go down
And see the truth, yeah, is just a lie, oh
And see the truth, yeah, is just a lie, oh
I speak in monotone: "Leave my fucking life alone."
As we go up, we go down
As we go up, we go down (and see the truth, yeah)
As we go up, we go down (is just a lie)
As we go up, we go down (and see the truth, yeah)
As we go up, we go down (is just a lie)
As we go up, we go down (and see the truth, yeah)
As we go up, we go down (is just a lie)
As we go up, we go down (and see the truth, yeah)

The Ugly Vision Lyrics

6 ContributorsThe Ugly Vision LyricsI resign myself to the resource
That is unless I can't go out
Should I concede?
Sell yourself to the man
Feel my good hand
And she flees pell-mell
So sick to have been

Pimple Zoo Lyrics

5 ContributorsPimple Zoo LyricsSometimes, I get the feeling
That you don't want me around
But just when you are waking
Just when the snakes are flaking
Sometimes, I get the feeling
That you don't want me around
Sometimes, I get the feeling
That you don't want me around

Motor Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you motor away
Beyond the once-red lips
When you free yourself
From the chance of a lifetime
[Chorus]
You can be anyone they told you to
You can belittle every little voice that told you so
And then the time will come when you add up the numbers
And then the time will come
When you motor away
Oh, why don't you just drive away?
[Verse 2]
When you motor away
Down the icy streets
You can't lie to yourself
That it's the chance of a lifetime
[Chorus]
You can be anyone they told you to
You can belittle every little voice that told you so
And the time will come when you add up the numbers
And then the time will come
When you motor away
Oh, why don't you just drive away?
[Outro]
Come on
Speed on

King and Caroline Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The scenario is bright for the King and Carol—
What we must tell her
And seasons are slow, so wait we must
And hide from ourselves
[Verse 2]
Overrun by the rank
Roll over like an egg
And a man-child will kill them
And a quick procession will follow
[Verse 3]
Oh, so now you know
We're all standing in line
For the King and Caroline
And the wisdom they will sell us
And the wisdom they will sell
Sell
Sell
Sell
Sell, oh, oh
Oh, oh

Striped White Jets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Send in striped white jets
In through stained glass ceilings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Color them white or red
Don't let anyone find out
Or expose your feelings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Cover your head instead
And penetrate this dark heart
And as the wound is healing, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Crawl to the other side
Where things are new in brilliant blue
And striped white jets come speeding through
Ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
And we must not forget
[Bridge]
The sudden pain of birth and greed
And what's expected of this super breed
For those who dream to touch the sun
And those who run, who always run
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Perfect striped white jets
In their hangars, bleeding, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Cover them all in black

Ex-Supermodel Lyrics

8 ContributorsEx-Supermodel LyricsShe's slender
Oh, she's cream
Oh, she's face
I took her from place to place
I moved her from room to room
I exploited her, became the groom
So I write music for soundtracks now
I write music for soundtracks now
That's what I wanted to do anyhow
I took her from place to place (room to room)
I exploited her, became the groom (I took her from room to room)
So I know, yeah...

Strawdogs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been burned out
Concerned out, discerned out
We've been sought out
'Cause we can't believe our eyes
[Chorus]
We are the willing supporters
And we'd like to know
Why everything is so unkind
[Verse 2]
We've been sent in
Defending the one thing
'Cause it's our duty
We've got to find out why
[Chorus]
We are the willing supporters
And we'd like to know
Why everything is so unkind
It really should be fine, yeah

My Son Cool Lyrics

[Intro]
Decide now!
[Verse 1]
Decide now before you continue
The list is complete without your permission
I finally know how, I finally can't quit
And ancient ideas are on fire, my love
[Verse 2]
Completely, the rope has been severed
The night screams for contact and clue
I must keep a journal, I must boast a victory
And the hellfire is dying around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
Around you, my love
