FUTURE * YOU ARE AN ANGEL HEADING FOR A LAND OF SUNSHINE * AND
FORTUNE US SMILING UPON YOU * PREPARE FOR A SERIES OF COMFORTABLE
MIRACLES * FROM FASTING TO FEASTING * AND LIFE TO YOU IS A
DASHING, BOLD ADVENTURE * SO SING AND REJOICE * AND LOOK FOR THE
DREAM THAT KEEPS COMING BACK * YOUR FUTURE * PAT YOURSELF ON THE
BACK AND GIVE YOURSELF A HANDSHAKE * CUZ EVERYTHING IS NOT YET
LOST...  (DOES LIFE SEEM WORTHWHILE TO YOU?) * HERE'S HOW TO
ORDER! * DOES LIFE SEEM WORTHWHILE TO YOU?  DO OTHERS PUSH YOU
AROUND?  IS AGE AGAINST YOU?  SING AND REJOICE!  DOES LIFE SEEM
WORTHWHILE TO YOU?  DOES EMOTIONAL MUSIC * HAVE QUITE AN EFFECT
ON YOU?  I-I CAN HELP - I CAN HELP YOU - I CAN HELP YOU HELP
YOURSELF!  HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!

FORGET THE GLAMOUR AND * MUMBLE A JACKHAMMER * - - - UNDER YOUR
BREATH - - - * HIDE YOUR FACE IN THE CURTAINS * BETTER UNSAID,
SO CLOSE * AND IT ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE * ALMOST * THE WORLD
EXPECTS THE POSE * PERFECTLY NATURAL * - - - LOOSEN UP - - - *
SMEARING WET CONCRETE * AND SWEARING YOU'LL NEVER BE * - - -
CAUGHT - - - * AT YOUR WEAKEST, ETCHED IN STONE * AND WE'RE
FROZEN HERE, PEEKING * ALMOST, SWEET TALK, CAFFEINE * MAKE
CONTACT * UP TO MY NECK * I CONFESS IN QUICKSAND * "BUT IT'S SO
EASY FOR YOU" * "THERE'S ALWAYS ONE THING" * "DO YOU HAVE
SOMETHING TO TELL ME?" * "SAY SOMETHING" * "ANYTHING" * I'M
WARNING YOU * I'M WARNING YOU * I'M FUCKING YOU * I'M WARNING YOU
* "RELAX" * "IT'S JUST A PHASE" * "YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT" *
BELIEVE ANYTHING ANYONE EVER TELLS YOU * IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE
* IT'S THING YOU HATE THE MOST * THE THING YOU HATE THE MOST *
THE THING YOU HATE ALMOST *

MIDLIFE CRISIS -- * GO ON AND WRING MY NECK * LIKE WHEN A RAG
GETS WET * A LITTLE DISCIPLINE * FOR MY PET GENIUS * MY HEAD IS
LIKE A LETTUCE * GO ON AND DIG YOUR THUMBS IN * I CANNOT STOP
GIVING * I'M THIRTY-SOMETHING * SENSE OF SECURITY * LIKE POCKETS
JINGLING * MIDLIFE CRISIS * SUCK INGENUITY * DOWN THROUGH THE
FAMILY TREE * YOU'RE PERFECT, YES, IT'S TRUE * BUT WITHOUT ME
YOU'RE ONLY YOU * YOUR MENSTRUATING HEART * IT AIN'T BLEEDING
ENOUGH FOR TWO * IT'S A MIDLIFE CRISIS... * WHAT AN INHERITANCE
* THE SALT AND THE KLEENEX * MORBID SELF ATTENTION * BENDING MY
PINKY BACK * A LITTLE DISCIPLINE * A DONOR BY HABIT * A LITTLE
DISCIPLINE * RENT AN OPINION * SENSE OF SECURITY * HOLDING BLUNT
INSTRUMENT * I'M A PERFECTIONIST * AND PERFECT IS A SKINNED KNEE
* YOU'RE PERFECT, YES, IT'S TRUE * BUT WITHOUT ME YOU'RE ONLY YOU
* YOUR MENSTRUATING HEART * IT AIN'T BLEEDING ENOUGH FOR TWO *
IT'S A MIDLIFE CRISIS............... *

RV -- * BACKSIDE MELTS INTO THE SOFA * MY WORLD, MY TV, AND MY
FOOD * BESIDES LISTENING TO MY BELLY GURGLE * AIN'T MUCH ELSE TO
DO * YEAH, I SWEAT A LOT * PANTS FALL DOWN EVERY TIME I BEND OVER
* AND MY FEET ITCH * YEAH - I MARRIED A SCARECROW * I HATE YOU
* TALKIN' TO MYSELF * EVERYBODY'S STARIN' AT ME * I'M ONLY
BLEEDIN' * SOMEONE TAPS ME ON THE SHOULDER EVERY 5 MINUTES *
NOBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH ANYMORE * WOULD ANYONE TELL ME IF I WAS
GETTIN' STUPIDER? * I HATE YOU * TALKIN' TO MYSELF * YOU DON'T
FEEL IT AFTER AWHILE * YOU TAKE THE BEATING * I'M A SWINGIN' GUY
* THROW A BELT OVER THE SHOWER CURTAIN ROD * AND SWING - - - *
TOSS ME INSIDE A HEFTY * AND PUT ME IN THE GROUND * A DRINK NEEDS
ME * I DON'T * I AIN'T ABOUT TO GUZZLE NO TEARS * SO KISS MY ASS
* NEWSCASTERS, COCKROACHES, AND DESSERTS * I HATE YOU * TALKIN'
TO MYSELF * EVERYBODY'S STARIN' AT ME * I'M ONLY BLEEDIN' * WHERE

SMALLER AND SMALLER -- * DROUGHT MAKES THE WORKERS DREAM *
MUSCLES AND FIELDS OF GREEN * SHOVEL THE LAST FEW CRUMBS * OF
GENEROSITY * OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MIND, OPEN MOUTH, OPEN VEIN *

EVERYTHING'S RUINED -- * THINGS WORKED OUT BETTER THAN WE HAD
PLANNED * CAPITAL FROM BOY, WOMAN AND MAN * WE WERE LIKE INK AND
PAPER * NUMBERS ON A CALCULATOR * KNEW ARITHMETIC SO WELL *
WORKING OVERTIME * COMPLETED WHAT WAS ASSIGNED * WE HAD TO
MULTIPLY OURSELVES * A BOUNCING LITTLE BABY * A SHINY COPPER
PENNY * AND HE SPENT HIMSELF * WOULD NOT LISTEN TO US * BUT WHEN
HE LOST HIS APPETITE * HE LOST HIS WEIGHT IN FRIENDS * BABY
BECAME A FAT NICKEL SO FAST * THEN CAME PUBERTY * EXPONENTIALLY
* SOON OUR BOY BECAME A MILLION * PEOPLE LOVED HIM SO * AND
HELPED HIM TO GROW * EVERYONE KNEW THE THING THAT WAS BEST * OF
COURSE, HE MUST INVEST * A PENNY WON'T DO * BUT HE MADE US PROUD
* HE MADE US RICH * BUT HOW WERE WE TO KNOW * HE'S COUNTERFEIT
* NOW EVERYTHING'S RUINED *

MALPRACTICE -- * THE CROWD ROARS * IT'S DEEP AND SO UNHEALTHY *
THE REST YOU KNOW * I'LL FEEL THE HANDS THAT FELT ME * COLD HANDS
* YOUR HANDS * COVER MY MOUTH * WHILE I'M STARING INTO BRIGHT
LIGHTS * APPLAUSE * THE CROWD ROARS * THE REST YOU KNOW * TEN
LOVERS VIOLATING * CURED * DISCHARGED * REACH BACK INSIDE *
KNUCKLE WHITE * RUFFLE WHITE * THE CROWD ROARS * THEY RUINED AND
REPAIRED ME * THE REST YOU KNOW * THE HANDS REMOVED THE BAD THING
* MIRACLE *

KINDERGARTEN -- * RETURN TO MY OWN VOMIT LIKE A DOG * RHYMES AND
GIGGLES MUFFLE THE DIALOGUE * CARVE MY INITIALS IN A TREE, I WILL
NEVER LEAVE * MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL BE ROYALTY * KINGDOM *
KINDERGARTEN * BORN LATE * WILL I GRADUATE? * DRINKING FOUNTAINS
ARE SHORTER THAN THEY USED TO * THE SWINGS ON THE PLAYGROUND
DON'T EVEN FIT ME ANYMORE * FOLKLORE: NOBODY'S SUPPOSED TO
BELIEVE IN THE NEXT GRADE * WRITE IT A HUNDRED TIMES * KINGDOM
* KINDERGARTEN * WAITING * BELL'S NOT RINGING * HELD BACK AGAIN
* EVERYTHING GOT QUIET SUDDENLY; NO DOLBY * AND THE THEATRE IS
EMPTY * FILM IS FLAPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE PROJECTOR * THE REEL
IS OVER * BANISHED WITH MY STICKY SHOES AND STINGING EYES * I'M
WALKING OUTSIDE * KINGDOM * KINDERGARTEN * BORN LATE * WILL I
GRADUATE? * HELD BACK AGAIN *

BE AGGRESSIVE -- * I STARTED THIS * IT'S ALL FOR ME * WHAT'S
YOURS IS MINE AND MINE IS MINE * THAT'S PLAIN TO SEE * SO GIVE
IT UP * I'VE GOT TO HAVE * I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I
SWALLOW * BE AGGRESSIVE * B-E AGGRESSIVE * B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-
E- * WHAT SOMEONE ELSE * WOULD LEAVE BEHIND * AND SPIT IT OUT,
LET GO TO WASTE * I CLAIM AS MINE * YOU'RE MY FLAVOUR OF THE WEEK
* I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW * TALL AND RECKLESS
* UGLY SEED * REACH DOWN MY THROAT * YOU FILTHY BIRD * THAT'S ALL
I NEED * THE EMPTY PIT * I'VE GOT TO FEED * TO PROVE I'M FIT *
A HEALTHY MAN * I'VE GOT TO BE * MALNUTRITION, MY SUBMISSION *
YOU'RE THE MASTER * AND I TAKE IT ON MY KNEES * EJACULATION *
TRIBULATION * I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW * BE
AGGRESSIVE * B-E AGGRESSIVE * B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E- * GO,
FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, WIN *

A SMALL VICTORY -- * A HIERARCHY * SPREAD OUT ON THE NIGHTSTAND
* THE SPIRIT OF TEAM * SALVATION IS ANOTHER CHANCE * A SORE LOSER
* YELLING WITH MY MOUTH SHUT * A CRACKING PORTRAIT * THE FONDLING
OF TROPHIES * THE NULL OF LOSING * CAN YOU AFFORD THAT LUXURY?
* A SORE WINNER * BUT I'LL JUST KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT * IT SHOULDN'T
BOTHER ME * BUT IT DOES * THE SMALL VICTORIES * THE CANKERS AND
MEDALLIONS * THEY KEEP ME THINKING THAT SOMEDAY * I MIGHT BEAT
YOU * BUT I'LL JUST KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT * THE LITTLE NOTHINGS *
IT SHOULDN'T BOTHER ME * BUT IT DOES * IF I SPEAK AT ONE CONSTANT
VOLUME AT ONE CONSTANT PITCH AT ONE CONSONANT RHYTHM RIGHT INTO
YOUR EAR, YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL
WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU
STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR *

CRACK HITLER -- * SINK THE EIGHT BALL * BUY THE LADY A DRINK *
AND NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME * BODIES FLOAT UP * FROM THE BOTTOM OF
THE RIVER * LIKE BUBBLES IN FINE CHAMPAGNE * HE'S THE ONE, NO
DOUBT * WALKIN' ON A TIGHTROPE * HE'S THE ONE, NO DOUBT * GOT A
GASH ON MY HEAD * AND A GRIN ON MY FACE * AND A SHADOW CALLED
DANGER * HIDIN' IN THE SHEETS * AND ON THE STREETS * IN THE HEART
OF EVERY STRANGER * HERE HE COMES, LOOK OUT * TEACH THE WORLD A
LESSON * HERE HE COMES, LOOK OUT * SWEAT ON THE BROW * AND A TAP
ON THE PHONE * AND LIVES ARE ON THE LINE * PICK UP THE BRIEFCASE
* ON A HIGH SPEED CHASE * BREATHIN' BY THE ROLL * OF THE DICE *
REACHIN' UP TO THE TOP * WE'RE DEPENDIN' ON YOU * REACHIN' UP TO
THE TOP * "IN REGARDS TO * MY USAGE OF THE DRUG... * IT MODIFIED
MY PERSONALITY * TO THE EXTENT THAT I WAS * HIGHLY IRRITABLE."
* "I WAS LIKE A CRACK HITLER" * KEEP UP THE FIGHT * AND IN THE
WINK OF AN EYE * NEVER GIVE UP * OOH..AHH.. * LOOK OUT *

JIZZLOBBER -- * SMILES * BRUISES * SMILES * BRUISES * BARS IN THE
WOMB * I HIDE THE DIRTY MINUTES UNDER MY DIRTY MATTRESS AND THEY
ARE MAKING ME ITCH * MY TIME * IS SPILT MILK * MY SKIN IS A LAYER
OF SOOT * I'M SPENDING MY DAYS SCRUBBING * I'M TRYING SO HARD TO
ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED (NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME) * I'M TRYING SO
HARD TO FIND THAT FRESH, CLEAN SMELL (NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME) *
SMILES * BRUISES * SMILES * BRUISES * BARS IN THE WOMB * I HIDE
THE DIRTY MINUTES UNDER MY DIRTY MATTRESS AND THEY ARE MAKING ME
ITCH * MY TIME * IS SPILT MILK * CRUEL WORLD SLEEPS ABOVE ME *
MOUNTING AND TEASING * I AM WHAT I'VE DONE * I AM WHAT I'VE DONE
