Antimatter 02:01
I am just some antimatter, lost in time and space Left over in your freezer, producing toxic waste There’s good cause to rid of me, since I make matters worse By jamming all your radar, fucking up the universe I clog up all your pores at night, interfere with D.N.A. I’m what’s stuck in your rusty pipes, the leading cause of tooth decay I’m what blacks out neighborhoods, when your electricity fails I live in a Petri dish, and underneath your fingernails I’m the dead thing lying there, rotting by the roadside The unidentified debris, dragged in by the tide There’s good cause to rid of me, since I make matters worse By jamming all your radar, fucking up the universe You are matter and are free, science dictates how I live Why then personify me and act so negative? Because I’m antimatter, I don’t get a decent chance To prove that first impressions, deserve a second glance

Xmas with X 02:06

I’m going to find me a wife If it takes all day, if it takes all night Then strip her from the wedding gown And have her till dawn before we settle down She wont know what hit her Though at first I’ll go lightly I’ll be her babysitter Tend her wounds that are unsightly See, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do What’s a woman to do, when the night is black and blue? She cries sometimes and that’s a shame I gave her my home and she took my name It’s a cold cruel world out there you’ll see You can’t forget baby, nothing is free I’ll caress your soft contusions Show you mercy is my best trait Come my black-eyed Susan Put all your trust in blind faith A man’s got to do what a man’s supposed to do What’s a woman to do, when the night is black and blue?

Nowhere 03:28
I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t know where I’m going Please take me from here Please take me from here The people at the party Tell me where my future’s heading Nowhere Some days I feel so lonely I read the books, looking for answers But there were none there I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to do I’m going nowhere

Jeb’s just an old man of fifty And doesn’t have a friend in the world Sits on the prairie And watches the sun go down Once he was a bounty hunter He hunted down the best of them all Until one day they turned on him But he got no help from the law They beat him and shot down his wife Took away his gold and his bride But now he’s all alone Nothing left at his side He turned to the wrong side of the law Well he didn’t know which side was right Stole some horses and nearly killed a man Then fled into the desert night Sheriff Dan took away Jeb’s gun And said “You’ll never hunt again” He went to jail for a number of years Ended up serving ten But now he’s all alone Sits on the prairie without a home And since they cut out his tongue He sits around and speaks to no one He’s gunless and he’s tongueless But he sits and dreams all day Of the times when he bounty hunted That’s how he passes the time away Jeb’s just an old man of fifty And doesn’t have a friend in the world Sits on the prairie And watches the sun go down But now he’s all alone Sits on the prairie without a home And since they cut out his tongue He sits around and speaks to no one He’s gunless and he’s tongueless But he sits and dreams all day Of the times when he bounty hunted That’s how he passes the time away Jeb’s just an old man of fifty And doesn’t have a friend in the world Sits on the prairie And watches the sun go down

I would sing you a love song You’d have to listen to me I would order you Because I’ve got a .32 caliber pointed at your head Buy me a present for Christmas .44 magnum instead .44 magnum instead

The Bells 02:13
I will wait for ever if I must And I wont falter from my place The bells from the tower toll each day And my love for you never fades The moments pass one at a time But not the one which I await For I am thinking of only then The moment you let me into your heart The tower bells toll today Everything’s as it was yesterday But tomorrow will dawn another day Perhaps then you’ll hear the bells
