i been thinking up a song
been drinking in my car
been shaking up my liquors
been breaking up my bars
i popped a hundred xannies
ate mushrooms at the mall
took molly from a buddy
and it took me real far
my lady's not a lady
my lady keeps me clean
my lady's not a lady
my lady's drinking lean
influence over power
i see em all the same
cuz age is but a number
fresh fruit has sweeter taste
been eating vegetarian
been copying my friends
i been exploring my options
i been all around the bend
but my lady's not a lady
my lady keeps me sane
my lady's not for keeping
my lady's not no dame
my lady's not a lady
my lady takes it slow
my lady's not a lady
must sneak her in the show
i been thinking really special
things about your parent's kid
i think we got a good thing
and you know i cleaned my sins
i want you on the table
i want you on the chair
take pictures of you naked
or shaving off your hair
my lady's not a lady
my lady keeps it cheap
my lady's not a lady
she's only seventeen

i have a friend named Cleatus
who don't look out too good
got his eyes crossed on the same target
& he's always lurking round the hood
he's never left his home
his records never went gold
but i love him all the same
oh i love him
CLEATUS ORCHESTRA'S GERIATRIC
AND I DONT THINK HE'S
GETTING BETTER SOON
WE ALL FUCK AT MIDNIGHT
OH BUT CLEET MAKES LOVE
IN THE AFTERNOON
I know a guy named Cleatus
and he's a bad kind of friend
you could know a lot of people
he's a guy who's friendship's bad
I watched Cleatus a night ago
he was prowling the dorms
i wish he found nuance
cuz the too soon bird eats the shortest worm
MOON IN VIRGO:
I know a guy named Cleatus & he's a bad type of friend
You could know a lotta people, he's the guy whose friendship's bad
He's the guy whose friendship's bad
Whose friendship's bad
CLEATUS ORCHESTRA'S GERIATRIC
AND I DONT THINK HE'S
GETTING BETTER SOON
WE ALL FUCK AT MIDNIGHT
OH BUT CLEET MAKES LOVE
IN THE AFTERNOON
I know a guy named Cleatus
who's melody's sound the same
only wrote two songs in a century
think who's pulling the weight
You might think i'd be hesitant to plainly
name the name
but the Son Of A Gun don't listen
to what anyone else is sayin

can't train a dog to know who's calm and who's foul
that's just instinct behaviour
guess I know better now
my body's more me than the
thoughts that i've found
i'll grow a couple feet taller
pick my head off the ground
a hundred humans bleeding
over a sound
scabbing over the concrete
stinking up the town
i snuck a gun into his show
down south
i pussied up on the trigger
guess I know better now
STEVIE JACKSON:
in an apartment and
she's being too loud
i gotta love her more softly
guess i know better now
a bunch of birds were set loose
over a crowd
now their clothing is ruined
cuz the birds drenched em down
you talk to me as if you're
wearing a crown
how bout i bust your fucking
skull and rip your teeth out your mouth
don't bottle up your tears
you're cute when you frown
just keep your feelings external
guess i know better now
i read a lot about some
sailors who drowned
they tried to fight off a blue whale
guess they know better now
i heard a rumour from
some kids runnin round
that you're looking for trouble
tipping over the cows
spend all that effort
looking just like a clown
so here's your hollywood headshot
set aflame to a gown
i offer my hand
nobody reaches out
guess thats stupid behaviour
guess i know better now

i should've worn the right clothes
i stepped my foot into a hole
my boots are soaked, i won't get far
i stepped my foot into a hole
it's easier to get a cut
i stepped my foot into a hole
where there's already a scar
STEVIE JACKSON:
baby
i didn't wanna hurt you
but you make it so hard
not to push the knife in

eyes closed but im
wide awake, tryin
if i open em
a monster's in front of me, frightening
can't be too careful gotta
lock my doors
i check the windows
and under my floors
that's not right, that's right
that's not right, that's right
i got a booty call
from some young miss
i told her come if she's
got clean ass piss
why in my head im so
precarious
im tryna sip shit out the fridge
afraid to do a dish
that's not right, that's right
that's not right, that's right
i was scared
but i woulda been more by myself
i miss her
but i don't miss
sleeping on the couch
i had a hundred dollars
now i have 2
but id rather lose it all
than have never had you
chill out
wake up like you care
don't light a match
there's gasoline in the air
that's not right, that's right

and God blessed Aphrodite
just like God bless those who sin
and i'm happy for you
that you're in heaven
it took me many nights
to see the reason i was up
im just not the kind of person
who looks good in the sun
i fall over sometimes
and i struggle to get up
it's easier to lay down
until someone comes to help
I wish i could grow older
but im stuck at 17
i wonder if thats what you expected
when you're molesting me
if i were gonna grow id
have done so before 70
God bless the scoundrel
and God damn the fallen queen
