Mercury Rev Album

Mounds of feeble trouble drop from the skies
I've seen an ailing nothing where the outer space lies
Powder kegs and marbles turn from gray to green eyes
I won't be sentimental
stay at a hospital tonight
hydrophonic sonic rhymes
submerge me in the water until I'm free of all crimes
propulsive healthy mouses
gurgle in slime
and fondle all the fishes and make them all cheer up
rage in their souls gotta be controlled
I'm often confused
waves in the pool
burr in my side
make it come back
you make it connect
you make it come true
and that's it
holes in my head
I'm holding my head
and it's slow motion blues
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
cutting burned spiders
worshipping twine
laughing out the sugars in the sticky strange shrine
drinking mountain cider by the suicide mines
I want to be fighter when the pilots not light up
screaming, sucking, slurping chimes
it often makes me wonder if we'll be through in time
boces
gurgle in grime
shoot it like a loon till you make the skin clear up
rage in the soul gotta be controlled
and I'm often confused
often confused
waves in the water
burr in my side
make it come back
you make it connect
you make it come true
and that's it
holes in my head
I'm holding my head
and it's coming from you
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
make it come back
you make it connect
you make it come true
and that's it
holes in my head
I'm holding my head
and it's slow motion blues
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free

you think
you think
you think too much I think
I think you think too much I think
I think you don't know what you're talking about
you do, you do
I must be honest I hate [hit?] this stone [slower?] street [story straight?]
I park all ready to be robbed by people that I meet
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I hear
I know, I know, I know, got nothing to fear
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
pushy, pushy
don't push me
I'm an insect
I'm a figment
I'm a chief as a genuine minion
imaginations
imaginations
imagine my frustrations
I think [you pick?] a fight with a .45 caliber
won't [Lord?] help you
it was a dismal rain that cooled the hut [hot?]
when it trickled down we all saw spots
float over... float over
now I've been in jail for a million years
got all these people holding me back
I know, I know
I must be honest I hate this stone street
I park all ready to be robbed by people
I know, I know
and I'm growing tried
I'm growing tired
it's my favorite mangle
a fanciful tangle
that went down like the [V-neck?] fantastic spastic
[phonetic/fanatic/frenetic spasm?]
spasms and spasms
suffer the death of what you are
it's now, it's now
suffer the death of what you were
has no effect on a hard-boiled world
warm weary eyed
_?_ catskill world
you must follow blind
just shoot a pigeon-holed pigeon
you're waiting to be sheave
just like you sheave that grazes all over your face
and you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt
and you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt
I've gotta tell you I just don't know
I've gotta tell you I just don't know
what the fuck you're trying to say
what the fuck, man
what the fuck you trying to say
just sit there and shut your mouth

have you seen her running 'round (have you seen her)
and the way she wears her hair (running 'round)
if you see her out tonight (have you seen her)
tell her I don't care (running 'round)
tell her I don't care (running 'round)
have you heard she's coming down (have you seen her)
with every sickness in the air (running 'round)
if you see her out tonight (have you seen her)
tell her I don't care (running 'round)
tell her I don't care
tell her I don't care (running 'round)
I don't care
I don't care
(kumbaya, kumbaya, have you seen her, let her know)
and if you get alone let her know that I don't really care
and if you get alone let her know that I don't really care
have you seen her running 'round
and the way she wears her hair
if you see her out tonight
tell her I dont care
tell her I dont care
tell her I dont care
tell her I dont care
I don't care
I don't care

Brains on your head
shoes on your feet
life still living from week to week
and cheek to cheek
waitin' for the phone to blink
waitin' for the phone to blink
waitin' for the blow to snow
skating around
the only place you know
prayin' for your hair to grow
now your mama say
back before the war
everything was sugar free
everything was sugar free
a girl's heart
was filled with stars
and the boys peeled out
in muscle cars
back before the war
the boys peeled out
in muscle cars
before the war
everything was sugar free
everything was sugar free
a girl's heart
was filled with stars
and your mom say
back before the war
everything was sugar free
everything was sugar free
a girl's heart
was filled with stars
and the boys peeled out
in muscle cars
ya got brains on your head
and shoes on your feet
life still living from week to week
and cheek to cheek
waitin' around
waitin' around for the phone to blink
waitin' around
brains on your head
shoes on your feet
brains on your head
shoes on your feet
brains on your head
shoes on your feet

ya gotta give me a scene from your battle sky zone [scars, oh?]
i don't know
go blur the things that matter to me most
friend or foe [from the foe?]
your fume, baby
soon, baby
kaboom, kaboom, kaboom
tonight I'll dig tunnels to your nightmare room
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
and if it's one thing I can't stand
it's up
should have known better than to do that stuff
that stuff can mess you up (can mess you up)
that stuff can mess you up
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
kick in the crawl from your watering hole
wailing woo
my mind pines for fluid filled eyes
what to do
your fume, baby
soon, baby
kaboom, kaboom, kaboom
tonight i'll dig tunnels to your nightmare room
and if there's one thing i can't stand
is up
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
and if there's one thing I can't stand
it's up
should have known better
than to do that stuff
that stuff it can

Crash land in an obscene movie
and find yourself on an outstretched finger
a p/massive heart as a massive hole
you see faces that you did not know
it's exact their little stinger's intact
they're designed to rule the day
their mouths are moving a million miles an hour
it's the only way, hey
You're seeing illusions in this house
the things we never talk about
so place your lips around the spout

Sunday night
sunday night
the killer of the week
sunday night
sunday night
the killer of the week
sunday night
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
since the day ['cause today?] she said to me (she saw slee smore)
this house moves more than you (show so snow)
so I tell her I sleep (so so still snore)
to keep from thinking it through (bless me)
now it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead (sometimes so you know)
and she sends me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed (she sings sun she snore)
you'll reach for the door
arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
today she said to me (sneer snore seer soar)
wanna get even with you more (sneer snore seer soar)
so I tell her she can (so show sea shore)
even more than before (full mouth sneer roar)
you'll reach for the door
and your arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
see the sight
posts around my bed
you thrust up and down
arms around my head
pressures not mine
both in spirit and time
whisper wine
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
so I bet she says to me (so show sneer snore)
need to see (seal the sown shear stone)
but by the time I made the bed (sneer snore sheer shore)
till you made up your mind (so so so so)
you'll reach for the door
arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth

clouds taste better than dirt
that's why you must evaporate above the earth
pressure can make the clouds burst
soon you wind up in the mud
just where you were
leaves may not reasons to believe in love
can't you see to me she means the whole wide world
queen bee shields my eyes
from the force inside of my mind
and the force they may you blind
is beautiful
on the imaginary side
even bored it is exciting
being a drone is better than being alone
bees may not be reasons to believe in love
can't you see to me she means the whole wide world
ain't yourself that fingers mean fun
shake a quarter flip in the air is gone
in your silent fears it's first
a little bit of help and the tournament's over
see the bladder bleed from an itty bitty hole
do the weird blitzing no, no, no
you bet your sweater should be all the way gone
these/bees may bot be reasons to believe in love

"Space Patrol, uh... I gotta be brief. I said 'cheese!' My elastic's all
stretched out. She's a gas powered witch, over."

I hold you in my arm...
...
now I know...
...
hold you in my arm
then I feel your charm
..in the sky don't mean no thing, no
....
..gone our separate ways
....
..woke up this morning
....from the foe
