Coma

I’m in a coma in Oklahoma
I took a loan out until it ran out
My sister gave up, I tried to save up
I can’t be near you, but I can hear you
Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep
Exxon cowboy submarine
Happy family eating ice cream
My pickup, turned up, at a Pizza Hut --
Radio stolen
I’m in a coma in Oklahoma
I’m overcome by pain and nausea
I’m floating over Arizona
I died while waiting for a car in Ohio
I swallowed a pig
That’s what I did

Never Open To The Public
03:05

Gravestones are on sale
Buy one get one free
If you’re broken inside
Have a cuppa the coffee
Take the next right
At the stoplight
Take a human life
Take a life humanely
Take a life humanely
When you think you’re ready
It’s all just for show
It’s all make-believe
If your tongue is tied
Type a letter for me
Vultures eat the corpses
Preachers drive the Porsches
The pool was never open
Never open to the public
I’m so excited
To be extradited
Take the next right
At the stoplight
Take a human life
Take a life humanely
Take the next right (Next right)
At the stop light (Stop light)
Take a human life (Human life)
Take a life humanely (What a time to be dead)
Take a life humanely (What a time to be dead)
When you think you’re ready (What a time to be)
Is this a real life? (Could I be saved by a lifeguard?)
Is this a real life? (Could I be dead in a sports car)
Is this a real life? (Could I be saved by a lifeguard?)
Is this a real life? (Could I be dead in a sports car)
Is this a real life?
Is this a real life?
Is this a real life?
Is this a real life?

Blackstrap molasses
You want affection from the masses
Just forget it it’s whatever
It’s nothing nothing nothing nothing
Maybe you’ll die in a motorcar crash
On your weekly trip to the drug store
Heaven forbid you would drive too fast
While having racing thoughts in your mind
Do you have your photo ID?
There’s something to be said for sitting in the dark
But I’m pretty sure I saw this movie last year
Evidence
I can’t be seen insulted in the residence
We need a macho charismatic president
They put your face on a T-shirt
They’re selling the shirt
The shirt was 17.99
Do you have your photo ID?
Third place in the rat race
You want some wine I got a whole case
Take some xannies it’s whatever
It’s nothing nothing nothing nothing
Maybe you’ll die in a motorcar crash
On your weekly trip to the drug store
Heaven forbid you would drive too fast
While having racing thoughts in your mind
Do you have your photo ID?

Forget About Monday
02:36
|
|||
Staring at the fire (Tah tah tah tah)
Feels so good
Fulfilling my desire (Tah tah tah tah)
I wish I could
Saying the pledge
Alone in my room
Looking at boxes
In the afternoon
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday
It’s always stressful just because
I didn’t know what day it was
Times are tough I guess it’s true
I’ll sell my mansion to you
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday
(Forget about Monday)
I see every day the same
They’re all the same to me
The box it should be in the mail
But it’s all in the street
And I’m so lucky that my trash can is full
You looked at me and just saw a skull
And the whole world hates my guts
But Sunday’s all right (Sunday’s all right)
Sunday’s all right
Sunday’s all right (all right all right all right all right all right all right all right)
Forget about Monday (On Sunday)
Forget about Monday (Might not even come anyway)
Forget about Monday (On Sunday)
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday
Forget about Monday

Hawk

Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk
Eye in the sky
Eye in the sky
In the sky
Eye in the sky
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a
Field
Cool guy I’ll set you up
Palm tree in a parking lot
Chemtrail coming down my block
The game starts at five o’clock
And there’s a shadow on the field
There’s a shadow on the field
There’s a shadow on the field
There’s a shadow on the field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk (hawk!) looking at a field
Just a hawk

Picture
03:34

He’s staring at a bank
From the ruins of a drinking water tank
And every building’s a new hue for your paintbrush
And every morning’s a new dream for your picture
So make a picture (whoa whoa)
So good (whoa whoa)
That you might be
Finally understood
He’s running down the street
And the ashes are falling so sweet
But the only thing on your mind now
Is her facemask in the dark
And I think I gotta go lie down
On the train tracks in the dark
Make a picture
So good
That you might be
Finally understood
Picture (whoa whoa)
So good (whoa whoa)
That you might be
Understood
Picture picture
Thank you so much
So good (thank you so much)

Almost Everybody
02:55

Don’t throw stones into me
I am the sea, be nice to me
I am a bucking bull
Get off my back, I won't be treated like that
No, no, no, no
Can’t fake it
Can’t make it
Almost everybody will never know the real me
Almost everybody will never know the real me
My tempo’s adagio
My tempo!
If I do a bad job, I quickly let it go.
Almost everybody
Will never know
Don’t pledge yourself to me
I’m born to be
Beyond belief
I heard them talking
Loud on the phone
Life is a drone
One by one
Taking pictures of the coliseum
Almost everybody will never know the real me
Almost everybody will never know the real me
Will never know the real me
I’m a puzzle

Humanoids
03:05
|

Time will tell if intelligence is common in the universe
I’d like to think we’re not here all alone
Might as well wave a flag and stick around to watch the fireworks
The economy
Will give the eulogy
And I don’t know why
They want us to die
But I think it’d be okay
If our species went away
After all, there may be humanoids
Beyond the Milky Way
I accept that I will die
An individual demise
So just like my own life
A culture can’t survive
Made only for our eyes
I don't know if the corporations ever were the masterminds
I’d like to think we never had a choice
Do-si-do, grab your partner
Promenade into the afterlife
The economy
Will give the eulogy
And I don’t know why
They want us to die
But I think it’d be okay
If our species went away
After all, there may be humanoids
Beyond the Milky Way
I accept that I will die
An individual demise
So just like my own life
A culture can’t survive
Made only for our eyes

Last bus to Birmingham
Tommy’s life just began
His bus pass in his hand
Tommy’s done playing pretend
Tommy’s on the road again
Tommy Tommy Tommy
Tommy Tommy Tommy
When the sun started to burn
That’s when Tommy took his turn
Leaving everything behind
He was dreaming of a time
When the older folks were staring in awe
And the children turned all them onto God
Tommy fought a Holy War
Tommy Tommy Tommy
Tommy Tommy Tommy
What’s that sound?
What’s that sound?
What’s that sound?
What’s that sound?

Down on myself
I don't care what happens to me
Neglecting my health
I can't find a way to be free
No one listens to me
Not my friends or family
Dead weight
Can’t wait to be by myself
Sounds great
Pretending to be someone else
I found the will to live
On a thirty-three and a third LP
Found out what I'd give
To hear ancient voices speak through me
Found the will to live
Rock and roll forever, let's have fun together
Slept on the bus
Now I don’t know when to get off
I tried to say it like I wanted to say
It didn’t come out that way
I’m awake
Piece of cake
I found the will to live
On a thirty-three and a third LP
Found out what I'd give
To hear ancient voices speak through me
Found out what I’d give
Rock and roll forever, let's have fun together

Big Bill Austin, Texas
Influenced by the deadpan irreverence of The Monks and Talking Heads, Big Bill is known for their darkly comic, nervy take on punk rock. Though their brain-altering live show remains a huge part of their DNA, Big Bill's music has evolved across many lineup changes, stretching from the rawest, weirdest punk into shades of country, new wave and even quasi-classic rock. ... more
