Efils' God
(E/Simpson)
Electro-Shock Blues


Efils good and the time is right
I'll bundle-up and slip away
The count is down and the drip is up
It's time to split this hunk of clay

Now you can bring back my suitcase
But you can't bring me
And you can have all the money
Cos you say that you must
But if you think that it matters
Take a look at me
And don't close your eyes
As I turn into dust

Efils good

Don't tell me that I can't do this
As if you knew
But you don't know
How efils good

Eight Lives Left
(E)
Broken Toy Shop


Eight lives left
One chapter down
Still nothing new
In this old town

I'd like to spend at least one life with you
Eight lives left
And a heart that wants to be true

Five miles out
The depot is there
A greyhound is waiting
To take us somewhere

I'd like to spend at least one life with you
Eight lives left
And a heart that wants to be true

Electro-Shock Blues
(E/mickey P)
Electro-Shock Blues


Feeling scared today
Write down "I am ok"
A hundred times the doctors say
I am ok
I am ok
I'm not ok

Skin is crawling off
Mopping the sweaty drops
Sticking around for this shit
Another day
Another day
Not another day

Pink pill feels good
Finally understood
Take me in your warm embrace
I am trying
I am trying

Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor
(E)
Electro-Shock Blues


Laying on the bathroom floor
Kitty licks my cheek once more
And I could try
But waking up is harder when you wanna die

Walter's on the telephone
Tell him I am not at home
Cos I think that I am going
To a place where I am always high

My name's elizabeth
My life is shit and piss

E's Tune
(E)
A Man Called E


Have two eyes but I cannot see
I have a heart, but I cannot feel anything
Don't give up now, I'm almost there

I got a mouth but it doesn't say
The things I want it to say today, anyway
Don't give up now I'm almost there

Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress
Till there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like somone's smiling down on me

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
Most of the time actually I am alone
That's alright
Don't give up now I'm almost there

If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'Cause my soul's always climbing a ladder
Oh, I know
Don't give up know I'm almost there

Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress
Till there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like somone's smiling down on me,
