01. a reminder

if i get old i will not give in
if i do, remind me to pray
remind me that once i was free
once i was cool
once i was me
and if i sit down and cross my arms
hold me into this song
knock me out smash out my brains
if i take the chair and start to talk shit
if i get old remind me of this
that night we kissed and I really meant it
whatever happens if we're still speaking
pick up the phone
play me this song

drag him out your window
dragging out your dead
singing i miss you
snakes and ladders
flip the lid
out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head
knifes you in the neck
kicks you in the teeth
steel toe caps
takes all your credit cards
get up get the gunge
get the eggs
get the flan in the face
the flan in the face
the flan in the face
dance you fucker dance you fucker
don't you dare
don't you dare
don't you flan in the face
take it with the love is given
take it with a pinch of salt
take it to the taxman
let me back let me back
i promise to be good
don't look in the mirror
at the face you don't recognize
help me call the doctor
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see him again
if i squeal to the cops
no no no no no no no…
walking like giant cranes ah
with my x ray eyes i strip you naked
in a tight little world and why are you on the list?
stepford wives who are we to complain?
investments and dealers investments and dealers
cold wives and mistresses
cold wives and sunday papers.
city boys in first class
don't know we're born little
someone else is gonna come and clean it up
born and raised for the job
someone else always does always pick it up
get over get up get over
turn the tape off.
i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see him again
if i squeal to the cops
so I’m just gonna’

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home

in the next world war
in a jackknifed juggernaut
i am born again
in the neon sign
scrolling up and down
i am born again
an airbag saved my life
in an intastellar burst
i am back to save the universe
in a deep deep sleep of the innocent
i am born again
in a fast german car
i'm amazed that I survived
an airbag saved my life
in an interstellar burst
i am back to save the universe
in an interstellar burst
i am back to save the universe

destiny, destiny protect me from the world 
destiny, hold my hand protect me from the world
here we are with our running and confusion
and i don't see no confusion anywhere
and if the worm does turn
and if london burns i'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
i wanna be in a band when i get to heaven
anyone can play guitar
and they won't be a nothing anymore
grow my hair, grow my hair
i am jim morrison
grow my hair
i wanna be wanna be wanna be jim morrison
here we are with our running and confusion
and i don't see no confusion anywhere
and if the world does turn
and if london burns i'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
i wanna be in a band when i get to heaven
anyone can play guitar
and they won't be a nothing anymore
