Mossy Liquor lyrics


Alright, Yeah (in Swedish)

Jag maste ga, men det ar inte att jag inte kommer tillbaks
Jag maste sticka, men jag tror inte att vi inte kommer tillbaks
Nej nej nej nej, allt ar inuti nat annat
Nej nej nej nej nej, okej yeah

Jag maste ga, men jag lagger min gaffel jamte din sked
Jag maste dra, ett uraldrat satt att lamna rummet pa
Se dom brinnande loven, lov pa lov
Nej nej nej nej nej, okej yeah

Vad du an ber till, det ar till den du hor
Jag far vad jag fortjanar
Vad jag fortjanar

Jag maste skratta, men halften av mig vill sitta ned och grata
Jag mastedra, ett uraldrat satt att saga hej da, hej da
For vad ar din mor? Inte en start platta at din far
Nej nej nej nej nej, okej yeah


Beautiful Queen

Give me your mascara and your phosphorous
You and I are higher than the loft
Gliding through the snowdrift in a mini-skirt
Glistening and olive, yeah-but soft
Got a ripe tomato here in ecstasy
Got a little apple in your eye
As if you had it all
As if you had no belly
You are on my skin and so am I
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene

I'm not afraid to be the only person on the planet
I'm not afraid to be
The only person
In the world with you

In between the different worlds I slip for you
You're the warm creation
Of a sigh
As if you had no will
As if you had just apples
Tumbling between you and the sky
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene

I'm not afraid to be the only person on the planet
I'm not afraid to be
The only person
In the world with you

Thrill me again
Thrill me again
Won't you thrill me again

Every cloud is numbered in the library
So is every kiss and every fly
And when the thunder calls
It trembles in your belly
Vanishing above the letter "Y"
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene
Beautiful Queen
With your beautiful gene


Cool Bug Rumble

I got a cool bug rumble and she's over the floor
I got a cool bug rumble and she's open for more
And I'm stroking her familiar
Behind the kitchen door
I said "Honey-ride me home"
I got a cool bug rumble in a shower of sparks
I got a cool bug rumble with her face in the dark
I got a cool bug rumble and her name don't end with a bark
I said "Honey-ride me home"
She said "Yes I'll ride you home"

I got a cool bug rumble-you can picture the scene
I got a cool bug rumble-and I'm somewhere between
I got a cool bug rumble-and she rides a vertical bean
I said "Honey-ride me home"
She said "Yes I'll ride you home"

Human beings can get ugly in this world
When I look into your eyes
I feel just like a girl
I got a cool bug rumble and I'm deep in her hair
I got a cool bug rumble and I'm somebody there
And we're lying on the carpet
With our legs up in the air
I said "Honey-ride me home"
She said "Yes I'll ride you home"
Exterminator-pass me by!


Wide Open Star

Now spring is here, you know I
Throw myself right under to your
Wide open star, open star
I close my eyes and then I
Dissipate in wonder through your
Wide open star
I don't know why the sun don't shine--is it because of me?
It must have fallen down a mine

I walk into the room and kneel down before you
On a wide open star
I only hope that what I do ain't gonna bore you
On a wide open star
I love the way that you recline
Recline in front of me
I've never seen you this way up before
As I lay dying won't you leave the window open
On a wide open star
The trick in life is how to function without hoping on a
Wide open star

We all return the way we came
There ain't no mystery
And in the blackest hole
I call your name

Now, Mister Engine, won't you
Keep those diesels humming on a
Wide open star
I think I hear
My one true love a-coming on a
Wide open star
I love you in a nervous light
You mean the works to me
I want to hold you
In a thousand arms


Each Of Her Silver Wands

Each of her silver wands
Flings you into beyond
An orbit
There set down
Hurrying down the line
Both of her eyes must shine upon, you
--She's your queen
Gallows' tree of my heart
Keeping us both apart
Begone! And cut me down
Midsummer evening's long
Here's a Midsummer song
Towards it
Kiss her NOW!

Each of her silver wands...


De Chirico Street

I was followed home by a weighing machine on De Chirico Street
It said "What do you know?"
I said "What do you mean?"
On De Chirico Street
And the numbers turned to fingers
And the fingers turned to flies
And they buzzed around your portrait

I was followed home by a 73 on De Chirico Street
It was advertising you and me on De Chirico Street
In the photograph we kissed
The conductor's name was Milo
As the bus went past he hissed "Flesh-head!"

A hyena sprang, she was on all fours on De Chirico Street
And her outline showed through a strip of gauze
On De Chirico Street
If you meet me by the clock
I could kiss you through the window
'Cause you love that sudden shock
Don't moralize! Get on with it!
You can go now-you've discharged all your responsibilities
Now-on De Chirico Street

When the sundial fell it was oh so black on De Chirico Street
And a lizard's tail slithered in the crack on De Chirico Street
And the pale yellow globes
Flicker softly in your window
As you pace the night with strobes

It's the darkest dream in the whole wide world on De Chirico Street
It's a bat it's a bat it's a bat it's a girl on De Chirico Street
In my pocket nightmares dress
I said "Jasper--this one's evil
But I love my lioness"
--My lioness


As Lemons Chop

As lemons chop
As houses change
As chance remarks grow strange
As feet grow out like fruit on legs
As consciousness just begs
As choirs howl
As horses sag
As cigarettes won't drag
As hairstyles grow on trees in time
As ministers are slime
As whistles blow
As ceilings bend
As broken hearts don't mend
As ashtrays fall into your lap
As everyone's on maps
As summer fades
As winter grins
As you are eating pins
As mummies walk down empty roads
As time and life explode
So I'm without your body heat
Your warmth or your internal streak
I want you so bad
I could kill this moment just to be next to you...


Sinister But She Was Happy

She was sinister but she was happy
Basically, she was a Jeanne Moreau type
Sinister but she was happy
Sinister but she was always pleased to see you
And her living words were
Her dying words
She said "Yeah"

She was sinister but she was happy
With a cheery smile and a poison blowpipe
Sinister but she was happy
Sinister but she was always pleased to see you
Her lopsided grin
Made it so hard to win
She said:
"Alright you are-but your promises
Are just promises-but a sinister little
Wave of the hand goes a long, long way
In these troubled times"

She was sinister but she was happy
And you can't say that of everybody can you?
Sinister but she was happy
Like a chandelier festooned with leeches
And she rolled along
Till she came on strong and she said:
"Alright you are and your promises
Are just promises-but a sinister little
Wave of the hand goes a long, long way
In these troubled times"


Trilobite

Trilobite, right Dwight's in the light-bite;
Trilobite, right in the light-bite, Dwight.

Basking on the shores of time
The little stone creature ain't dead to the world
They call him...

Clicking away for a second of fame
A billion years later they give it a name
They call it...

When I'm too wasted these rocks to clamber
Then lean me on the cliff and encase me in amber

And a creature from future in
Way out when
Will clock my fossil and name me Sven--that's a nice name
Alright!

Built for a world where nothing needs shaving
Look at them stone antennae a-waving

Let's hold a clicking championship-
The Trilobite wins and everybody else loses.


The Devil's Radio

Darlin'
You don't have to call me
Stalin
Or even Mao Tse Tung
'Cause I'm far too young;
My rising
Sign is Capricorn; is that
Surprising?
You know that I was born
So very soft and easy going
--I make no trouble at all

I was listening
I was listening to the Devil's radio
'n' it went na na na na na na
I'm the Devil's radio

Evil
Its tentacles are bland
It's like a weevil
It burrows through the land
And everybody smiles
Michael-don't you KNOW someday a
Spike'll
Grow right through the woodwork
And come out through your palm

We was listening
We was listening to the Devil's radio

Sun sets on the Devil
Sun sets on the West
He's listening to the FM talk show
It's what he loves the best

Limbaugh
He was talking through a bimbo
But don't
Touch that dial
Or that hateful smile
Kate said
"The flowers of intolerance and hatred
Are blooming kind of early
This year
--someone's been watering them"

We was listening
Yeah, we was listening
To the Devil's radio


Heliotrope

Heliotrope my love
Her face to the heavens
Her petals all around her dial
Her shadow follows her
It looks like a seven
--and I'm as loaded as a gun--
She worships the sun

I lie beneath the ground
My eyes are unseeing
My name is gone from all the files
The tombs are shimmering
Deep into her being
It could be lethal
But it's fun
She worships the sun

She's full of happy beans
No shadow within her
Your paranoia makes her smile
And when the cat's head grins
She's ready for dinner:
You know you're gonna be the one!
She worships the sun
