Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose, and to pretend
She's over bored, and self assured
I know I know, A dirty word
        hello, hello, hello, hello. . .hello, hello, hello, hello,
        hello, hello, hello, hello. . .hello, hello, hello, hello
        With the lights out it's less dangerous
        Here we are now, entertain us
        I feel stupid and contagious
        Here we are now, entertain us.
        A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido, Yea!
I'm worse at what I do best,
and for this gift I feel blessed.
I met a group that's always been
And always will until the end.
And I forget, just why i taste
Oh yes I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard. . .Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Care if I'm old

If I don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

  they're  in   my  head. . .
I'm so ugly but that's ok, 'cause so are you, we've broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care and I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze 'cause I've found god
I'm so lonely and that's ok, I shaved my head, and I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard, and I'm not sure
I'm so excited I can't wait to meet you there, and I dont' care
I'm so horny but that's ok, my will is good

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I've been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

(E bar chords on frets 5, 13 and 10)
A5     F5     D5     A5       F5      D5
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions.
A5                   F5              D5
Gotta find a way, to find a way, I'd better wait.
Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman

                      Drain You
A     C#  F#   B    A          C#          F#       B
One baby to another said I'm lucky to have met you...
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my responsibility to completely drain you
A travel through a tube and end up in your infection
D         B
Chew your meat for you
pass it   back and forth
In a      passionate kiss,
from my   mouth to yours
        A5 G5   F#5
because I  like you.
With eyes so dialted I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything with a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful.  Vacuum out the fluids.
          B
You're my vitamins
        A5  G5   F#sus4   F#5
because I   like you

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
