Altar Boy
(Rickie Lee Jones)
Your Lucky Day In Hell single
A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
As he follows a path filled with harried desire
And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
Glad to have chosen that which left no choice
To sing without loving in a solitary voice
To observe with passion each careful denial
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while
Sometimes I see you in embarrasing ways
You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
Standing too close, holding your clothes
Smiling at God, the meaning of life grows
No, no I'll never tell and I'll never know
What candles you light after the show
And I'll never tell and I'll never ask
The meaning of life after mass
A Most Unpleasant Man
(E)
Broken Toy Shop
Well, I'l rise above
Once I forget
What it was like then before we met
I had no dreams
There was no plan
You see it's just that I was
A most unpleasant man
And now it has all come to pass
I guess I knew somehow it couldn't last
And so I'm back
Where I began
And once again I've become
A most unpleasant man
Where will I go if you're not here ?
I'll try to find you everywhere
Remember me
Not as I am
But how I was
As your truest friend
Remember me not as I am
How did I ever become
A most unpleasant man
I'll see you later baby
Ant Farm
(E)
Electro-Shock Blues
Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them
Hard to believe
After all of these years
But you are one of them
Walk down the street
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing to belong
Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But I can let it go
Walk down the street
I"m thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling to harm
Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them
Are You And Me Gonna Happen
(E)
A Man Called E
Are you and me going to happen
Are you and me going to happen soon?
The Gods smiled hard down upon
A love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare
Are you and me going to happen
Are you and me going to happen soon?
A sweeter feeling I can't guess
Will ever be
A truer union I can't see
I don't know how much more I can take
I will run through the streets
I will howl at the moon if
You and me cannot be happening soon
Are you and me going to happen soon?
Are you and me going to happen soon?
