JESUS WANTS ME FOR A SUNBEAM (the Vaselines)

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD (David Bowie)

We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
with The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time alone

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
with The Man Who Sold The World

PLATEAU (The Meat Puppets)

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the Plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
and an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words?

When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
and look at what you've done
The Plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
and the work it took was fun

Many a hand began to scan around for the next Plateau
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
but they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

OH ME (The Meat Puppets)

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice
sweetened with emotion
invented at your birth

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me

LAKE OF FIRE (Meat Puppets)

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to a Lake Of Fire and fry
Won't see'm again till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Got bit by a dog with a rabbit tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
flew away howling on the yellow moon

People cry and people moan
look for a dry place to call their home
try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
fight to make'm their own

WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT (Ledbelly)

My Girl my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a dried up well
but his body never was found
